Target Acquired.

The Raiton user had a visible tear in their eye as he swung wildly at Kigen. The wandering swordsman quickly darted back out of reach. Turning on his heel he let his mind wander down the Path of the Tiger. After that was completed his own lightning flooded his body. The man moved with a blur as he intercepted the Katon user. Kigen began striking the man with extreme speed but without much force. Hitting the man on every limb and several other parts around his body Kigen back stepped again. The man he had attacked stood covered in red marks where the sword had hit him. The swelling had already begun and he knew that if he lived that his body would be covered in large welts.


The Raiton user having barely kept up with the speed of his attacks looked stunned now. The man was toying with them. Moving over to the downed shinobi he quickly checked for life signs. The ninja was very much alive and was just knocked out. The mark on their head was going to be a nasty bruise but as far as he could tell they would live. His only conscious ally had just been brutally bruised all over however and things weren't looking good for him. 

Kigen walked over to the man clutching his fallen friend. He picked the man's weapon before turning on the spot and walking back to the Katon user. "Why haven't you killed us with your sword!?" Raiton user called to his back. Kigen paused before stepping back and spinning rapidly and bringing his sheathed sword down with one hand on the man's foot. The crack was deafening and the foot was broken in several places. The scream filled the air before Kigen turned back towards the Katon user.

Walking over to the stunned man once again. Kigen held the tanto firmly before gripping the man with one hand. He dragged him over to the other two and threw him roughly at them. Kigen spoke to them after they had gathered themselves a little. "Decide quickly which one of you wants to live." The two conscious ninja once again had that stunned look on their face as they turned to each other before looking at their comrade.

Using the tanto and his strength Kigen quickly cut of the man's head. Quickly impaling the thing on one of the branches he arranged the body to look like a body in it's grave. Kigen walked back to the other two shinobi. "Times up again. Quickly this time." Kigen watched as the man swallowed for what he believed was the last time. "She lives." The man pointed to the unconscious ninja on the ground.

"No." Kigen moved with speed. Stabbing the woman's heart quickly he felt the tanto puncture the organ. It stopped beating almost instantly. Kigen then through the distraught man to the side before replicating what he had done with the first victim. Taking the wire spool from her corpse he forcibly wrapped the surviving shinobi up so that he was defenseless. All Kigen heard was muttering as he walked away. The living shinobi of the three began screaming at him to kill him. Among the string of screams the man began to talk about  how his great grandfather had the Sharingan and if he had inherited it this would of gone differently. After that he began to mutter unintelligible words.  

Shirokuro had been watching the entire, gruesome, battle between this swordsmen, whom he had been hearing much about, called Kigen. This one is a scary fellow... Shirokuro thought to himself, as Black Shirokuro. This man, Kigen, had brutally murdered three shinobi with ease, Shirokuro liked that, he liked that a lot... This... powerful man, he could be of great assistance to Magattatsuki... hmm, I'm gonna give him the memo that Magattatsuki would be happy to have him with us. Shirokuro jumped out of the shadows, where he had been concealing himself skillfully, and strolled up to Kigen, with a serious, but not frightened, look on his face. "SO! You're Kigen, I've heard a lot about you, how about I inform you about my Magattatsuki and a little project I call, the Reset Plan?!"

"Hmph, gods..." Shirokuro saw as the man was engulfed in lightning, "I believe that everyone is in control of their own fate, and in that sense, we are all our own gods. Anyway, please, let me explain more about my organization, if you would. I am sure we could provide you anything you want, from money to power, you name it and we can give it, as long as you aid me. Also, trust me, I have no intentions of a quarrel." Shirokuro still didn't draw his weapon, in fact he hadn't tensed up and readied for battle yet, he was hoping that they wouldn't have to fight and he would just join Magattatsuki without any resistance, but that didn't seem like an option at the moment.

Shirokuro pondered the though of entering the village, and searching for a ninja, where they didn't know who he was exactly, where he was exactly, or who he was with exactly. "That doesn't sound smart, what would be better is if we lay low, go back to the Magattatsuki Head Quarters, train, and wait until they leave the village until we attack." Shirokuro thought of a man named Uchiha in the Imperial City. "I know of one man named Uchiha, and his name is Takeo, I've been thinking of recruiting him to Magattatsuki. I sent a mass amount of enemies after him, to test his skills, apparently he travels with 3 to 4 other people who all posses doujutsu. The only death in the entire fiasco on the enemy's side was that of Takeo's brother, and I've heard stories of people with the sharingan that witness their most loved one's death. He may prove to be a problem." Shirokuro turned and began to stroll back towards the direction of the Magattatsuki base. He then turned again to face the man named Kigen, "I would like to place a seal upon your tongue, this seal will deny any words that you speak bad of Magattatsuki, it's members, or I, just in case you try to double-cross me. Also, just if you were wondering, my name is Gouyoku Shirokuro, the Kage of the Keimei Clan and leader of Magattatsuki!"
