How rude! (Open)

The air was chilled as winter drew nearer. Most people were outside with a coat on or at least a sweatshirt. Okami bore a coat with fur lined coat. It was plenty warm and he quite enjoyed it. Plus the added bonus of being super cute on him. Luckily I wasn't storming or anything, just cold. It had stormed the day before for quite awhile. Today it seemed the sky was out of energy from the storm and was resting, making the sky tranquil. Okami had been needing get out of the house. All this energy and he had no way to channel it within his own home.

While he was out, Okami ate lunch and bought a couple groceries, mainly today and tomorrow's dinner. The village wasn't as busy as it sometimes was, so getting place to place was a piece of cake, leaving him with more time on his hand. He was really in the mood to train either, he had been doing that for the last couple days and today was going to be a day to himself.

Of course, the life of a ninja was always full of energy and a shinobi can never really take a break. As Okami will soon find out.

"HELP! Someone stole my purse!" A female voice cried not very far from his location. This caused Okami too witness three men run off with a purse around the corner, into an alley way between two buildings.The young Lycan placed down the groceries to do his duty.

They were running across the ground, so Okami thought it would be best if he took the high ground. Jumping onto the one of the building roofs that formed the alley, he followed in hot pursuit. The trio weren't very fast and Okami easily caught up. Believing he had the upper hand, Okami jumped in front of the man with the purse. As soon as he made touch down in frount of the thief, he use Leaf Rising Kick to kick the purse out of his hands and into the air. This caught them all off guard a little. Okami caught the bag.

"Don't you know stealing is wrong?" Okami proclaimed boastfully. However, their faces weren't showing fear, rather, they smiled. This couldn't be good. Suddenly, the bad burst into a cloud of smoke that clouded his vision. As soon as he could see again, the young lycan was in udder shock. The trio now became a hold gang of thugs surrounding him. They were holding an assortment of weapons from pipes, to kunai and to even katanas.

"W-what the hell is this?" Okami asks as he gets into a defensive position. The man that had the purse originally gave a smirk. "This is our way of telling the village 'we don't need it's protection anymore, we run this village'." They were anarchists, great. And they were basically saying they were going to kill him to show the village. It was stupid and Okami knew it wouldn't work. However, there were almost twenty thugs. Okami knew he could only take on a couple before being over powered.

It was a little cold out, but Silver didn't care. He was on top of a building, looking for things to do. He didn't get much sleep last night because he was to exited for his first day as a ninja. His headband was tied to his coat, so then his vision wouldn't be hurt. He was just about to call it a day, until he spots a lady getting robbed. Silver was just about to leap into action until, a young man chased the thieves into an ally way. 

Suddenly, like fifteen more guys surrounded the young man. He smiled even though if he fought, he would surly die. Before Silver could think of a strategy, Silver jumped onto one of the thugs heads. Then he grabs the katana the thug was holding, and stands next to the young ninja. "hey, its not fair if you gang up on someone." Silver says with a cocky smile. "why dont you fight someone your own size." Silver didn't show it, but he was a bit scared. Even a chunin would have trouble with twenty armed thugs.

With every exhale, a thin cloud of hazy smoke slithered out of the Hiyu's nostrils. The cold nipped at his extremities and smacked him in the face with every gust of wind yet he did nothing to shield himself from the freezing weather. He wore not but his armor and a weather worn cloak draped over it as per usual. He enjoyed the cold. It was a stark contrast from the burning deserts of Suna he once lived in. It reminded him that he was alive. The tingly stabbing sensation in his fingers, the numbness in his cheeks, the stiffening of the leather straps on his armor. All of it was a gentle reminder, a reminder that he was living in hell. Without cause, without purpose, Nobunaga was now blindly serving the shinobi village that destroyed his home, desperately clinging on the feeble remains of Suna like a new born clutching at its mother's fingers for some semblance of comfort. What was he doing here? What purpose did he have? He was a fly, buzzing around a lantern. How much longer could he go before flying right into the flame? He was lost and knew not where to go. But at least there was the cold.

The brute of a man casually and aimlessly patrolled the streets of the village, the clinging of his massive great sword hooked to the back of his armor being the only sound that echoed through the cool night air. He was fully garbed for battle as usual. Being an Anbu of the village meant he reluctantly had to be its protector, ready and willing at any moment to serve those in need or come to the village's defense. He had to do a lot of that when he first came to this village for it was a cesspool of a place. Its criminal underbelly had taken control of the entire village under the tutelage of its former Kage, glad to let the rot spread and the filth take over. However with the arrival of Maku and then Komori taking over the reigns, much had changed. They had mostly cleansed the village of its festering blight, burning it away and making way for a new village. However remnants of that time still remained. 

Off in the distance, the Hiyu faintly heard a woman cry out for help with his expertly trained hearing. Being the only one present on the street he currently found himself on, he would stop in the middle and turn his head towards the direction which the sound came from. Focusing all of his senses in that direction, he could no longer hear the women's cries but he could sense everything that was going on. A few blocks away in the direction from which the woman's cry came from, the Hiyu could sense several individuals running away with another one who seemed to be in pursuit, presumably answering the woman's call for aid. Nobunaga too would answer the call.

With Silver and Okami facing the gang before them, they were quite clearly heavily outmatched. Despite the fact, they were still willing to face the threat on their own. However, before things got too out of hand, their uncalled for backup would arrive. As silent and elegant as a cougar pouncing on its clueless prey, a large shadow would descend from above and land just in front of the two Kumo shinobi. With Okami to his right and Silver to his left Nobunaga would rise to his full height of 6ft3 and stair down the gang with a gaze colder and more piercing than the weather. Without a word he would simultaneously unclasp his robe and grab a hold of the long handle poking over his right shoulder. The cloak would drop to the ground, revealing the full sight of his armor and massive frame while the six foot something blade was swung out in front of him. "The village has no place for the likes of you. However, a jail cell. Well that is a different story." Taunting the guards, Nobunaga would then say to the two standing beside him "Ready yourselves." The Hiyu would not allow the men before him to flee so no matter what the case, he was going to engage with them. What the two behind him did did not matter.

Before Okami even had time to confront the appending danger, two individuals arrived. First was a boy, a bit younger than him, with very rich garments on. His arrival was swift as he jumped onto one of the thugs heads and disarmed him and taking the katana for himself before landing beside the young Lycan. Okami didn't know if that helped completely defeat the odds of 2 to 20 as he didn't know the entirety of Silver's skills. Luckily, the other shinobi to appear was Nobu, a very tall and muscular man with a large sword attached to his back. It was still 3 to 20 but Okami felt that things had now tipped in his favor.

The thugs looked pissed. They probably weren't expecting any uninvited guests like this. But that didn't change the fact that they weren't going to try to kick their shinobi butts. There were 6 to Okami's side that blocked the way Okami entered the alley, there were 8 facing Nobu's way, 5 blocking the other side of the alley and the other 3 on top of the building, and Silver's side had 6 all on the building roof above them.

The first guy made his swing toward Okami, making all of the other thugs attack. Since the first swing was from the guy closet to Okami with a pipe, Okami had to counter quickly. The young Lycan moved instantly to the left of the pipe's path, avoiding a critical attack. Then with the time he had in between, he raised his right leg and dilivered a blow to the thugs chest, throwing him into another thug behind him. With more of a time interval to attack, Okami rushed in front of the thug he had just kick and socked him in the stomach. Then following, a punch to the face. The force that hit the man's face traveled through and knocked his head against the bandit head that had caught him. That man was down and he still had 5 more on his side. One man thought it was smart to try and use this distance to attack him with a kunai he had in his hand. Rapidly thinking, Okami threw up the pipe that was on the ground, which was once held by the hooligan he knocked out, into his hand to counter the kunai with another metal substance. The two weapons collided with a loud and powerful CLANG. Okami slide the pipe across the side of the kunai that would lead it away from his person. He was still moving towards the thug with pipe and took him out with a blow to the head. Another punk tried to go on the opposite side of his comrade to try fooling Okami. Luckily, the young lycan noticed and took the pipe to his stomach and then to his head right away before he could even start up a swing. That left 2 more. They both charged him at the same time. This could be trouble some for Okami. He countered the one with the kunai but wasn't able to counter against the man with only his fists. The man got a solid blow to Okami's stomach and then face. This knocked Okami back a bit. Now it was getting serious. Okami didn't waste a moment. He used leaf rising wind against the thug with the kunai first, hitting square in the jaw. Then using the pipe he had his had still, he striked the last man with a pipe.

Okami was struggling to get some breath. His vision was a bit blurred from adrenaline he gained from the fight. The genin didn't know how the other two were going in their fight, so he went over to look. On a spur of moment, Okami felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. It was an arrow. An archer, about 10 meters away from the whole event, shot him. Shock filled his body. Was this how he was going to die? That was the last thing Okami could remember before blacking out. For everyone else though, they would witness a monster being born. The once smaller, young body started to enlarge into muscles. His blonde hair grayed and began to spread all over his body. His clothes were shredded. Now standing, the beast was taller than even Nobu. Ripping out the arrow, beast gave some heavy breaths before those turning into a deafening roar. Anger and death filled this beast's veins. First, for the person that hurt him. He charged past everyone in the alley and took a single leap onto the buidling were the archer post. I won't go into detail what happened next but let's just say his paws were soon covered in blood and the archer was no more. Next up, everyone else.

Silver got into position, ready to face the thugs head on, until, a man about 2ft taller than him. He didn't care, all he knows is that this ninja is stronger than Silver. Okami took 6 of them to fight. Which means Silver is going to take out 7. and the tall man is going to fight the rest. 

Silver jumps up and kicks one of them, his kick has low power but it did stagger the opponent. Silver grabbed a kuni and threw it at the thug, hitting him right in the arm. the other 2 on the building were also wielding a katana. So Silver lunges at the thug on the right. The thug swings the blade but silver dodges and cuts the thugs arm. The other thug thought he was clever and tried to attack Silver from behind. Silver sees the man and changes direction with his katana and throws it at his arm. Silver grabs the katana in the thugs arm and bashes the hilt into his face.

Next up was the 5 thugs bellow him. So Silver jumps off the building, land on a wall and jumps again. Silver switches the blade to the dull side and hits 2 thugs in the face with it. I'm liking this katana. A thug throws a kuni and it scrapes Silvers cheek. it stung but he was filled with to much adrenaline to care. Silver jumps backwards and kicks the thug right in the face. Silver jumps again and cuts the last thugs chest.

Silver drops the katana, but a ear breaking roar broke Silvers victory. Okami was now taller than the other ninja and was more wolf like. Silver knew he was in trouble now.

Unfortunately for these miserable thugs, they did not flee upon the arrival of the silent brute. Both his demeanor, size and weapon were unable to shake their ill gotten confidence. It seemed that they were being taken care of by a Genin and Academy Student which unfortunately left them with no chance against Nobunaga. Despite their obvious weakness, the Hiyu had no intention of holding back against these clowns. He despised people who took advantage of and preyed on the weak. He would show them no mercy for they deserved no such thing. 

It seemed the gang split into groups, as one would assume with so many people present. The alley was quite large, more of a street in fact and was thus easily able to fit everyone present. The group divided in mini groups and with one quick glance the Hiyu noticed that the larger group of 8 was confronting him. Only made sense, send the most men for the biggest threat. But he was having none of that. Before any of the thugs on the ground had an opportunity to attack him and the other two Kumo shinobi present, the Hiyu with his left free hand would single handily perform the Boar -> Tiger hand seals in a sequence as smooth as a flowing stream of water. With the completion of the required hand seals and the activation of his chakra the desired jutsu would come to fruition.

The ground beneath all of the thugs that were ground level standing before the Kumo delegation would transmute from solid pavement to liquid mud before any of them had the chance to move in for an attack. All of them would be ensnared in Swamp of the Underworld as the thick mud began dragging them down into the underbelly of the muddy jutsu. However the Hiyu was not done there. Some of the more experienced thugs may not have panicked like the rest of the bunch. As most of them were attempting to pull themselves out of the mud they now found themselves sinking in, some of the other thugs may have attempted to take the Hiyu out in a futile attempt to cancel the jutsu they now found themselves knee deep in. But Nobunaga's assault went on as the same left hand that activated the earth jutsu was now glowing yellow. Suddenly, flickering lightening erupted around his hand. Simultaneously he would bring his right arm over the shoulder of the same side to re-hook his sword to his back while swinging his left arm from his waist on the same side, across his chest to his shoulder on the opposite side. As his arm swung across the center of his chest, a vicious beast made entirely out of lightning would shoot forth from his glowing hand. The lightening hound pounced forward, cutting through the air as his zigzagged through the crowd of criminals. Smashing into the chest of each one, the bolting lightening hound would shock, electrocute and knockout every criminal in turn. In mere seconds the lightening hound would reach the back of the crowd with each criminal flailing down into the mud as it consumed them. They were not dead, only knocked unconscious. The mud would hold them as Nobunaga dealt with what came next.

It seemed not all of the enemy forces which seemed to be multiplying like rain drops were present on the ground. One who seemed to have stayed out of the main congregation of thugs assaulted the Kumo Genin with an arrow which subsequently sent him into a frenzy. The uncontrollable rage forced him into some sort of transformation, turning him into some humanoid wolf like create. His sudden transformation and uncontrollable rage was a familiar site for it was all too similar to that of a Jinchuriki. With an unwavering calm and collected attitude, Nobunaga would stoically raise his head to look over towards the roof which the beast stood on. He was covered in fur and much taller now. It was different from a Bijuu transformation for this one was physical and not chakra based. Perhaps some Kekki Genkai. The Hiyu would remain still and motionless, waiting to see what happened next. Did the kid have control of himself in this form or would he have to intervene and take him out as well?

Both of Okami's comrade's had defeated their section of thugs, leaving the werewolf to prey on only Nobu and Silver. The beast analyzed the two, seeing their size and over all presence to see which of the two to go after first. Unfortunately for Silver, the large predators always go for the weakest in the group first. Baring his teeth and creating a deep growl, he jump from the building he was on to the next one that Silver was on. Okami couldn't control it at all, this was only the second transformation ever. This blood thirsty beast was on a mind of it's own that mainly thought of death and anger.

Unless interrupted, the beast would try to pounce on the young boy and tear him apart with his claws like he did with the archer.

Silver was frozen, the beast was going for him. Silver tried to move but he knew it would be worthless. But Silver tried to leap backwards to keep the damage at a minimum. He knows if he tries to fight, he would surly die.

The Hiyu's question was quickly answered when the child turned werewolf bared its teeth at the other child standing on the roof of the adjacent building. The wolf had no control over its actions and desires, it was a mindless beast, a servant to its most basic instincts. From the lower lever at which Nobunaga was standing, he could see quite clearly that it had set its eyes blood thirsty eyes on Silver. He could see the beasts muscles tense and its stance change as it readied itself to pounce across the gab separating the two buildings that separated the beast from its prey. 

Thankfully, the beast was not as fast as the silent brute it was about to come face to face with. Scaling the side of the building Silver was standing on top of, the cloaked Anbu hopped over the side and placed himself a couple of meters in front of Silver before Okami even made it onto the same roof. Now, standing tall and unmoving in between the beast and Silver, Nobunaga would wait to see what the wolf person did, in case the beast changed its course of actions.

However if it continued on its path forward, viewing Nobunaga simply as another prey to slaughter, the Hiyu would act accordingly. As Okami pounced forward with arms outstretched and claws ready to shred, Nobunaga would calmly stand still and let the beast pounce towards him. Just as Okami was about to make contact and slam its body into the Hiyu, the Anbu's right arm would shoot forward with superior speed. Wrapping his massive hand around the wolfs neck, Nobunaga would halt it in its tracks and use his superior strength to hold it at arms length and keep it trapped within his firm grasp. The werewolf would surely struggle and attempt to break free like a caged beast in a circus. However all of its effort would be for naught as the Hiyu's own strength greatly overpowered its own and its claws were not nearly deadly enough to pierce the flesh of the Hiyu let alone scratch his armor.  

With the wolf firmly in the grasp of his right hand, Nobunaga would step forward with his left leg before simultaneously descending his right knee onto the surface of the roof and slamming the beast onto its back. Pinning the beast down beside him, Nobunaga would begin to slowly tighten his grip around Okami's throat. In an attempt to subdue the beast, maybe get Okami to revert back to his original form, the Hiyu would attempt to choke the werewolf out. One of two things would happen. Okami would pass out due to a lack of oxygen in which case he would most certainly revert back to his normal self, or he would due so before passing out and would remain conscious. Only time would tell as the Hiyu continued tightening his grip around the beast boy's neck.

The beast was moments away from jumping onto the roof too attack the younger and weaker prey when the larger shinobi jumped onto roof with them to intercept the oncoming hazard. Upon seeing the man, he didn't change course. Instead he would continue on his blood thirsty pursue but with a new prey in mind. The beast would soon find out that he had chose the worse outcome.

Once in arms length, he'd go for the strike, the strike he thought would be the finial. However, that didn't go as planned and he was instead grabbed from the left side by Nobu's right arm. It grasped his throat and held it. It was impressive with their both impressive sizes. The beast would go for a strike to the torso but would find this in vain due to the sheer strength of the giant and and his armor. This would cause him to whimper in defeat after seeing his attack not doing any damage. The beast would now see this man as his surpierior and his pack leader due to his natural instinct to follow. That wasn't the end though. Nobu would knock him unconscious with a slam to the ground. Being unconscious would revert him back into his human form, the crater formed in the buidling would be giant compared to the 16 year old. One could really see the size difference.

Okami would wake after laying in his wounds for a couple minutes. He was in pain and needed to go the hospital. "What's going on? Did I get hit." The whole time he was bleeding from the previous attack from the archer but it wasn't just his blood on his body anymore. "Oh no... not again." He would say timidly. After checking to see if his two companions were okay, which they were, he passed out once more due to his injuries.
