Killing A Mocking Bird [The YAGA Hunter Mission]

Mission:

Ghost and Wan had been scouting a large section of the woods where their next contract's target was located. The man was a homeless guy who had given the men who hired the duo some laced grained. The old geezer wasn't much of a fighter from what they heard, but none the less if the man was spooked or not they'd have to deal with him. This was what they were getting paid to do. They came around that afternoon during the brightest of the day to make sure if he was there they would have a clear vision, but they were told that he usually scavenges for food during that time of day. They cased out a 50-meter area, the man's small camp is positioned in the middle, 25 meters from each side of the square like pattern they scouted, before the old guy would return. They could see where he had crates of old food just thrown around the dirt, boxes were stacked on top of boxes as the weight of the ground supported all the unnecessary junk around. There was a small trough next to the tent with a thin bucket of dirty water, probably a piss bucket to the homeless man. He needed to tidy up his home more often. Wan set up various tags in multiple hidden locations, forming a square pattern around the man's camp. They would all be hidden near the roots of trees, placed on stones and covered with rocks to conceal them from sight. After he'd place the four seals in various spots, he performs the hand seals for a clone, sending his replicate underground with the order's to remain hidden while staying close to the man's tent. The clone would take a good distance underground, positioning itself 5 meters from where the man's main home was, ready to make an action on the command of his real self.

With his chakra levels lowered Wan would take to an elevated hiding spot and wait for the man, a 5th gate placed beside him on the tree ready to be activated. Before the sun would fall, his final action while Ghost was setting up in his position would use the branch under him to make another clone, this one taking position in a tree next to the man's tent, about 25 meters from Wan and 5 meters from the man's home. The density of trees in these woods provided natural cover to anyone wise enough to use it correctly. The night began to fall as the two waited, the sun going down as they would wait for this man to return to his home tonight, ready to make an example of those he caused the shits to. His clone would remain in the ground below awaiting orders on his next move. Wan would have his chakra senses on high alert, ready to detect any presence coming in as soon as he was able to sense it.

Bright would look up at the sky through the canopy of trees , nature had its wonderful perplexities, the beams of light that broke through the leaves looked like a starry sky. The good doctor wasn’t sure whether wan or ghost could appreciate something like this at the moment due to their mindsets , especially ghost as Bright understood Tau was eager to get a hold of a few hearts. The behavior of the Tau perplexed him; he seemed like such a kind and gentle soul yet at the same time he was brutal and bloodthirsty to those he was to kill , the man was a duality that Bright wanted to understand.

Then there was Won the Senju who destroyed his livelihood , the boy seemed eager to prove himself though that eagerness seemed to be easily corruptible. Wan was powerful but one fact still stood tall: the boy was still a child , bright would take note of this for later in case he needed to tip wan towards being able to kill at the drop of a lousy dime. Bright would be brought out of his train of thought as he heard the audible voice of a ghost who was laughing out loud despite the fact they were all supposed to be hiding. If this farmer had any sort of military training he would be able to pinpoint their location thanks to the laughter of ghosts , bright would face palm as ghosts began to give a speech.

This is when it became clear to bright that despite wan’s age he was no green horn , while on the other hand  ghost had to work on his timing. He would listen as ghost began giving wan a speech "You know brother you are truly a monster in your own right. Just look at you. Your monster strength will be feared one day. When you become a kage of our new village. Right now I am only limited to the hearts I have. So as of right now everyone we take down. I need there hearts. So this guy will be locked down and I will take out their heart and his heart. I will become a true immortal as my power grows to reach yours. Our next goal will be to capture even more power and we both know what that means. Now then let's get this show on the road." when ghost was finished bright would pinch the bridge of his nose.

Not to long ago Ghost had confided in him that he had wished to perish , but due to the wy his clans biology operated he was unable to do so. Sadly he didn’t have any jutsu to truly help with this endevor he was here more so to heal the wounded with practicle medicine and exume the body once these two had properly nixed him. It was no secret that if they damaged the body to much they would recieve no pay what so ever and bright would be forced to sleep in the sand again which wasnt somthing he wanted to do. 

They came around that afternoon during the brightest of the day to make sure if he was there they would have a clear vision, but they were told that he usually scavenges for food during that time of day. They cased out a 50-meter area, the man's small camp is positioned in the middle, 25 meters from each side of the square like pattern they scouted, before the old guy would return. They could see where he had crates of old food just thrown around the dirt, boxes were stacked on top of boxes as the weight of the ground supported all the unnecessary junk around. There was a small trough next to the tent with a thin bucket of dirty water, probably a piss bucket to the homeless man.

Keit was an elderly man in his late forties with not many things to his name. All he had was the tattered attire on his back, some military rations he had been hoarding over the course of a few weeks that he managed to ‘acquire’ and some explosive tags that he also managed to ‘acquire’. His attire consists of an old grey stained up shirt, tattered navy blue pants, a trench coat with large holes in them around four inches in diameter and a patchy scarf around his neck. He wasn’t much for hygiene either as he only wanted to do enough to survive and live comfortably out in the borders of Suna. He used to be a shinobi working for the greater good of some obscure village but things took a wrong turn in his life and now he was just here doing what it takes to survive. He had a small encampment that he called home with nothing but a tent, bucket and trough that he used to bathe in from time to time when he could afford to use water. Things weren’t so bad for him despite being a homeless geezer and all he could do now was live the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, even a man like himself who was at his lowest was plagued with troubles. Occasionally, he would have a run in with groups of thieves that would attempt to pilfer his hard earned food despite them being better off than he was in terms of resources. Well, he had enough of this and set a devious plan in motion. He had laced his own food supply with laxatives and waited for the thieves to steal from him. After he enacted his plan and came back from foraging one day, his spiked food rations had ‘magically vanished’ out of the blue right on cue. It was safe to assume that the thieves had taken his food and were n for a very ‘shitty’ surprise. Well now that certain actions had run its course, Keit knew it was only a matter of time before the thieves got angry and retaliated against him. So for the past few days, he’s been cutting his scavenging for food short in case they made an attempt against him or what little belongings he had left. Currently, he was just five meters from the outskirts of his encampment in a prone position to conceal himself a bit from his would be assailants. He doesn’t stray too far from his place nowadays as he was expecting retaliation from the thieves who wronged him.

Not many people knew this but he used to be a shinobi of the leaf village before he was stranded in the wind country. He wasn’t promoted to anything above Genin but he was at least still adept in terms of combat so he knew how to handle himself from the typical riffraff of the world. As he laid in waiting, three unknown individuals had shown up to his encampment like he predicted. After all, they knew his schedule inside out so it was only fair he’d use it to his advantage. From the outskirts of his encampment, he watched as the three of them scouted out his lands, being roughly five meters apart from each other in a horizontal manner. Keit happened to be near the starting point of when the trio began to set up explosive tags, performing the hand sign of ‘Tiger’ with his right hand and then the hand sign of ‘Rat’ with the left simultaneously, Keit created ten water needles from the bucket of water and shot them at the person attempting to lay tags. 

He fired the ten water needles in a spread side by side, a half meter from each other in order to maximize his coverage whilst they soared through the air at his opponents. The second hand seal he had made was to use the remaining water from the bucket in order to create a thick mist in the surrounding area in order to hinder the three shinobi’s field of vision as well as to conceal himself so he could stand up properly and move around at will. He had to plan his next course of action carefully or else he could wind up in a pretty bad situation, After all, it was three versus one and he would hate to lose the advantage he had.

While he was placing down the various tags in various locations, Wan suddenly bits down on his lip as he begins to feel something unusual. "Someone else is here." he thinks as his enhanced sensory begins to pick up on a sudden spike in chakra. Becoming paranoid by knowing that the signature he felt was not the ones of Ghost and Bright, who he had memorized, Wan looks over at the tent that was in the middle of the 50-meter area they were scouting, about 20 meters from where they were, suspecting that maybe the homeless man had made a stealthy return while they were scouting. That seemed impossible since Wan knew he would've felt the man's presence if he was inside the tent. Nothing seemed off at first when suddenly the water in the bucket began to rise, forming into needles as they suddenly began to travel towards him. He was now on high alert, knowing that a surprise attack seemed to be escalating. "A thousand Needles." he would think, looking at the formation of the needles reminding him of a technique he uses. It certainly looked the same, the only difference he could initially notice was how many needles were produced compared to his. Maybe this was because of the skill of whoever seemed to be attacking him, but he didn't have much time to think. "Ghost! Bright!" he beckons, hoping to put his team on high alert as his hands speed through the 3 hand-signs for his Wood Clone. From the front of his body, the wood begins to sprout out as a clone begins forming directly in front of him as another clone sprouts from his back. Wan shifts chakra into his feet, allowing the sands beneath him to loosen up as he begins to fall underground, immersing himself into the ground below leaving his two clones to the surface, communicating with them both via telepathy.

The Clone in front of Wan was already briefed up on what was happening, and upon being created takes a defensive stance, crossing his arms in a Sideways 'T' fashion to cover his eyes and as much of his upper body as possible. If this was, in fact, Thousand Needles, then they knew the lethality behind it. Being a clone, death wasn't something you feared, since most of the time you are brought to die anyways. With the attack reaching the clone, the clone would take the attack head-on, allowing itself to be penetrated by the needles as the rest of the team hopefully look on and are now aware of the situation. If it's a lethal hit, then the clone will disperse itself. If not, the clone would stand slightly injured from the attack. A mist suddenly began forming in front of them, another technique that Wan was a wielder of. Seeing where the mist began to form, he could get a slight prediction of where the attacker might be, given the fact that he understood well how the hidden mist worked. The clone thought back to the knowledge Wan learned earlier when he noticed the water in the bucket being used. If someone was not able to produce water naturally enough for such little amount of needles, then any mist worth completely obscuring their vision would require much more than the opponent currently seemed capable of doing. After taking the attack head-on, the clone would stay on alert, ready to follow any commands given.

The second clone standing behind Wan's first clone watched as his other took the full force of the attack, his goal to be to find out where the attack was originating from. He was scouting the area with his eyes when he began to notice the mist forming, something he was familiar with since it's a technique he wields. Whoever was attacking was trying to make it harder for them to be seen, and this would certainly cause more problems for the group if it reaches its max density and range. With his back against the clone, his body facing away from the direction the attack came, he weaves the signs for his 'Rain Tiger At-Will' jutsu, causing rain clouds to form as rain begins to fall within a 100-meter radius centered around him. Quickly turning around to face where the first attack originated from, he begins to analyze the raindrops, the rain being infused with his chakra, allowing his senses to be extended further than they were. As the rain fell, it didn't take long for them to begin hitting the bodies of the group, and eventually, the bodies of the attacker. 20 meters from the tent, near the outskirts of the encampment, the rain began to fall on someone else, a body of another human from what the clone could sense. "There he is.", the clone would think, relaying the information to Wan who was underground. "Someone is near the outskirts of the camp, along the tree-lines of the camp." The clone began guiding Wan towards the direction of the person he was sensing with the rain, giving step-by-step tips as he served as a GPS for his owner underground. The mist was thick enough to hinder their vision, but the rain was covering for their lack of sight. The clone would remain on alert, ready to retaliate in case any other attacks were to occur.

As Wan moved his way underground he could sense what is happening on the surface up to 50 meters, even though he wasn't near that deep. He was deep enough to not disturb the ground above while he moved(to remain discreet) while remaining high enough to sense what was going on. He was being directed in the area of the person his clone sensed with the rain via telepathy, Once he was within a 5-meter area of where the presence was felt, Wan would make sure he was at least 5 meters from the surface of the ground. With his senses on full alert, Wan closes his eyes and focuses on the water and rain circulating above, and within a 5-meter radius above he forms 50 needles in a circle around the presence sensed above, all needles honed in and fashioned into a very more potent form than what was illustrated by the attack earlier. Whoever it was above him would surely find themselves surrounded and trapped by a ring of needles, the needles in positions that'll impale them from top and bottom if they were not able to escape. If everything went according to plan, the needles would instantly hone in on the position given, impaling whoever or whatever attacked the group of men. The needles would aim for vitals, but if not able to hit them due to the various angles they are coming, they would surely do enough damage to cripple their opponent. Wan would remain hidden underground, ready to retaliate with whatever comes next if need be.

The clone who performed 'Rain Tiger At Will' would point to the direction of Wan and the attacker. "They are in that direction! You might can't see, but his next attack might come from that direction!"

Ghost would smile as he saw Wan take action out of the blue. Going under ground to his shock. His clones clearly had the right idea as one of them took on an incoming attack. To which it shocked Ghost to see. But at last he was able to see finally in action. This was out the blue as they was sure they had set up eight before the target came. It could it be they took their sweet time and he was about to set up. This was all to funny to him to say the least. Ghost would smile as he the rain started to fall down. Still at a lost of worlds as to what was going on. But it was clear YAGA was under attack. But was the one attacking them their target and if so they sure wanted to die. Looking on he would get ready to fight as well. Taking his time to think things over. Soon enough the mist would come about. This was great as it was a damn fog and rain both at the same time. Just his lick if he do say so himself. Smiling to himself as he made the hand signs to start off his on counter attack.


Ghost would smile as the ground started to move. He truly hates the rain at times and this most was no better. Looking on he would go sky high with is new earth core stone. Some twenty feet up. Ghost would smile as again as his black threads started to show themselves. He was using version two and damn did he have a grin on his face. As his threads showed themselves Ghost was so damn ready for what was to come next. Hopefully this time he could take out a God damn heart. He was now in kill mode and damn was he proud of that fact. But still as the ground shook he could not help but wonder where was his target location at. Wan seemed to know as his clone was looking at a certain spot which also got his eyes because of them. Looking on he would hope his brother was Behind him as of he was he would tell bright. "You are a doctor I need you to get out of here. I and Wan would deal with this threat. As we do not need unwanted problems. You are the doctor after all just keep us in good health." He would say to him hopefully he would go away from the battle. As he looked on Ghost would cast yet another justu. This time it was none other then the twilight of a healing justu. Looking on he would be just thirty meter from the clones yet he was ready to attack at any moment and he was heavily guarded. Ghost was all set to take this guy heart out and you could not tell him nothing else. He would get ready to pounce in a tiger like way.

The sound of water sloshing around would grab Bright's attention causing him to peek around from the tree he was leaned against , ‘has the man returned? I was sure he would be gone for a bit longer’ he would think to himself as he witnessed ice needles forming materializing in the air. This was unprecedented as Bright himself had no knowledge of many jutsu making him a civilian on the battlefield and a powerless one at that. The doctor would quickly duck back behind the tree as he heard the thuds of the needles thud into the wood behind him , his heart would be racing rather quickly as he began scanning the newly misty area planning out several escape routes , just as he was about to take action wan would perform several jutsu’s before his eyes.


One being he caused it to rain...he caused actual rain! To have nature's will and watch at your command amazed and terrified him all at once. Everyone here was a monster except him to think he tried to make this kid pay up for destroying his clinic! Bright cat-like eyes would narrow due to the coursing of adrenaline in his veins and a nervous fang filled smile would appear on his face. This in itself made him look rather insane but in truth it  was a nervous tick of his.

This would be the time ghost would chime in "You are a doctor I need you to get out of here. I and Wan would deal with this threat. As we do not need unwanted problems. You are the doctor after all, just keep us in good health." bright didn’t need to be told twice. He would make a Beeline in the opposite direction that Wan had made public knowledge heading the opposite direction of their assailant running as fast as he could. Hopefully his all black three piece suit afforded him some sort of camouflage.

OOC:

From where Wan was underground, the chakra sense he was feeling out above suddenly seemed to begin to diminish, following a 'thud' feeling upon the ground as if someone had fallen. On the surface, the mist still hindered the vision of his clones, but the sound of many needles coming in contact with something, or someone, elapsed quickly and abruptly. Eventually, as time passed he could not feel out the chakra signature any longer. It seemed to him as if his attack had landed since his clone using Rain Tiger At-Will also suddenly lost track of the chakra signature. To them, whoever it was must've was hit by his attack lethally and killed, since they were both sure that they would feel the target escape if an escape was possible. "Did it work?" Wan would think as he waited underground, still ready to make any needed actions just in case things did not go to plan. He was sure his attack landed, the 50 needles he used more than likely pierced various areas of their target and killed them, the force and speed of them being great enough to penetrate the man's skull.Wan shot up to the surface from underground with lightning speed, coming about a meter behind the presence sensed, his legs grabbing a lotus position as he awaits his momentum to reach a roundhouse kick height. With all his force exerted to this kick, the blow would send this man soaring through the air with every bit of a fractured neck, Wan finally having a good view on who he was facing. He would watch as the mangoes flying, landing into a tree about 5 meters back, the woods surround feeling a slight breeze from the force of flesh hitting bark. As Wan would land on his feet, his hands perform the Tiger -> Snake seals at lightning speeds, wood erupting from the wood surrounding him as it speeds towards his opponent, two 2M thick roots aimed at both the man's head and lower abdomen. One root spouted from a tree behind the man, aimed to pin him by the abdomen, while the second one was coming directly from Wan, aimed at the man's head. If successful, the man would be pierced through his skull and lower stomach region, brutally killing him while incapacitating him. The sharpened branches will most like serve to be fatal. Wan would stand 6 meters in front of the man, his full focused on any more needed actions. 

By now, Wan's clones will have known what just happened telepathically. Their attentions would be diverted to the new area in which Wan and their opponent would be. The clone that took the first attack of the opponent would face the direction of Bright's chakra signature and body flicker towards it, moving towards his comrade as he gets in range to protect him against any attacks. If injured, he would atleast be able to take one more hit for someone if needed. Both of Wan's clones remain at the ready from their last actions, the rain still up to feel out any signatures moving around if any were still present.

It was the time as the time was here. He would look on as Wan sis what he had to do. The man stood not a chance against YAGA at their fullest. The wood style was just too much for one man to tet and control if anything. But this guy did have an OK attack plan. Unfortunately he was just out skilled and out played. This was Ghost time to shine however as he would slowly towards the end of the mist. Slowly feeling it to start to drain away. He would make his way over to the duo. Looking at Wan as he had nearly finished the man off. How funny this was as Ghost summon his black fear threads. Within his mind it was show time. It was time to be a God like being. His power was indeed about to grow and yes he was very happy about it. Looking on only one thing was in his mind assimilating assimilating assimilating assimilating assimilating of the heart. This will allow him to take it and use it against the would be ninja of this world. Ghost would look on as his black threads started to move on towards the old guy. Who by now could not move let along even talk. Ghost would smile as his threads now version 2 would touch the man face. They would then start to move around the man body. The threads would start to search more and more of him. All fifteen of them. It would feel extremely creepy and smily at the most.


Soon enough the black threads would turn pointed at the man chest and start to dig in it. Slowly but surely in a fast way would the chest burst open with blood. The look of pure fear was on Ghost face. It was as if a sudden rush of power was now entering into his body. Ghost would smile as he started to search for the organ he needed in question and that was the heart. This was too good to be true. Ghost would smile as he finally find the heart he been looking for. Soon he would rip it out of the man body. As he took it out it was even still beating. This was perfect as the black threads wrapped themselves around it. Ghost would smile as he started to take down the heart slowly but surely it was a sight to be behold. One fixing for a creature such as himself. As the blood came rushing out of the now dead genin Ghost would look on and laugh in a evil like way. His body was finally getting itself a new heart and with that a new chance at an immortal life. This was all thanks to his brothers indeed. He would look to Wan who could no could see in Ghost eyes as if he was a beast of a nature unknown. But this was how he WA Ted it to say the least.


Ghost would start to move around and a crazy like way. As did his skin did as well. It was moving around and around S if something was moving within him. But in fact something was indeed moving in him. Ghost would laugh at this as he was rearranging his organs to fit his new friend in there. This was to be expected but he just grew that much stronger and damn did he like it. Soon it was as if time itself slowed down on him. As his second heart started to beat at a fast pace. He would notice this as the hearts would start to be at different pace. But soon enough they would catch each other pace. This would put him in a easy place to be for the moment it seem. All was going to go really go right in the world. But for right now Ghost was just happy at what just happened to him this day. He was soon on his way to being the strongest creature in the world. This was going to be a very good day for him. He would thing this as his black threads would start to go back inside his body. This was to be expected from him after all he was no more a human then a bat flying out of hell. Ghost was now in a good mood as he saw this. He could feel his new element coming into play as well. Seeing as water release was now possible for him. Ghost would look at as his body was now one again. Looking over at his brother. With his insides still gathering itself for more power. "Thank you Wan I have gotten stronger but now I need more hearts you see. If I am to be the best and most powerfully creature in the world. But together we can make become just that after all. You will need me by your side once you gain the title of kage and we crush all who come for us. Now then what is next as this man is no more and my heart is still being put in place. I can tell this will be a long day to say the least." 


Ghost would say this as his eyes were flowing in and out of the light he was in. All was well for once and he loved it to say the least. Now with this new heart he could enter battle more willingly and not be fearful of death. He would look on as blood was dripping from his hands Ghost would smile again going back to his happy self and he would act as if nothing had happened to him to say the least. Not too many people understand the lifestyle of the Tau. You would have to be born one if not know one well enough to get a better understanding of how they operate and what not and all that.
