Chou laughed and ascended forward.
"I, am Chou...Ikaku" she said with a evl grin on her face.
"I'm just here to stop by is all...I admire your strength and slugishness it's like....Awesome!" she blinked. And followed it with a sarcastic cough.
"I just wanted to meet you, and of course Sayuri" she gave a fake innocent smile.

[X.:.Scarlet.Mangekyou.:.X]

"...so i have fan...how have you heard of me...and since you pose no threat...i warn you..do not look into my eyes...Sayuri learnt that one the hard way...i do have more control over them now...but every so often...they dont respond to me" Ikaku said, he looked at Cho. how did she see through the mist.... "anywho...its getting late, you are welcome to stay with us" Ikaku unfurled a scroll, ran some blood down the center and a tent poped into existence. he then wiped some more blood down his arm and slammed his hand on the ground "Ninken scouts" he said and five small dogs shot from under his palm into the forest. "we should be safe from scouting parties now. Sayuri an Cho...go to sleep...ill stay on watch..." he walked over to Sayuri and whispered into her ear "watch her i still dont trust her...and i know ive been tense for a while...im sorry" and with that he kissed her on the cheek and walked back to the center of the clearing.

Jason was walking through Konoha with two bodyguards from his clan. He had his hands around his head, his long white robe flowing through the wind, he red hair glistering nicely. It was a nice day, sunny, but not too sunny, just the way Jason liked it.
He yawned and said "So... can I go and take a long nice walk and go to the hot springs here or something? I just had to visit and old friend, that is all."
"Uh... Jason-sama... we should head back to the village A.S.A.P." One of the bodyguards replied as they walked out of the doors of Konoha.
Jason stood still and looked at him with a confused look "Why?" He asked.
"It's the coronation of the new Utakage today..."
Jaosn blinked curiously for a few times as he stared at the bodyguard.
"You serious...?"
"Yes..."
"Oh my god!! I didn't know that!!" Jason yelled out.
"Jason-sama, calm down will ya? Your the clan leader... and you were told yesterday, remember?" The bodyguard implied.
"Craaaaap...!!!" Jason yelled once more.
"Let's go!!" He commanded as he jumped up in the air.

All three men landed on top of a big tree and began running towards the village, from tree top to tree top.

After a few hours of running at top speed. They started to get to village in few.
Jason was extremely tired and breathed heavily.
"Dear... Jesus..." He muttered out.
"Stop whining..." One of the bodyguards said with full strength.
Jason was going to reply until he felt a lot of powerful at once place in the village. He saw some fireworks going off and became serious.
"Hurry..." He said.
"Right!" The bodyguards replied.
They accelerated up even more and in minutes they were at the village.

Jason landed on a roof top one or two houses away where the ceremony was taking place. His eye caught on on Ikkaku and Yumika.
"Kuh kuh kuh... interesting..." Jason said standing on top of the roof. The bodyguards were on the ground looking up.
"Get the hell down from there!" They instructed him.
"Oh shut the fuck up, will ya?" Jason muttered.
"Insolent brat..." One bodyguard said to the other.

Soon after, Ikkaku activated a jutsu. Jason immediately felt a disturbance. It was the power of the Sharingan.
But soon after, he fled from the scene.
Jason jumped to the house in front of him, heading to the stage.
"Hold up..!!!" The bodyguards screamed out at him.
Jason pretend he didn't hear them and kept on running to the stage.

In one minute, he arrived. He landed on the stage with one fist hitting it. His robe waving in the air. He stood up and looked Tri.
"Nice one.." He said chuckling.
"Sorry I'm late... I was busy with a acquaintance of mine." He explained.
"So... that was Ikkaku, eh?"

It had been a long time since Jacob had walked along the path to the Hidden Sound Village, more than 2 years in fact. Jacob pulled his black cloak tightly around his body. He thought back to the good times he’d had here. It had been difficult to leave, but at the time it had been the right decision to make. As Jacob traveled leisurely along the path Jacob wondered how Minako was doing. She always seemed to have a smile on her face. Jacob was suddenly brought out of his pleasant thoughts by a barrage of Kunai coming in at him from nearly all sides. Jacob signed quickly and before the barrage struck a barrier of wind enveloped the weapons and dropped them to the ground. Leaping into the sky before the hidden attackers could strike again Jacob disappeared into the trees.

What in the world in going on Jacob thought to himself. Why would someone attack him here? It made no sense at all, who would attack him here? Jacob didn’t have long to think however as another Kunai barrage came at him this one appearing to hit the mark. Moments later though a cloud of smoke and a log appeared where Jacob had been. By evading the attack Jacob learned where some of his enemies we’re. Sneaking around Jacob managed to sneak up on one of the assailants. Drawing his sword as he did he brought the blade up to the neck of the ninja who was cloak and wearing the mask of an ANBU.

“Why did you attack me,” Jacob asked the masked ninja.

“You are not the rouge ninja Ikaku,” the ANBU said matter of factly.

“Ikaku?” Jacob asked curiously. “No I am not Ikaku. I am Uchiha Jacob of the Hidden Sound village.”

At that moment Jacob felt the point of a weapon at the base of his neck. Another ANBU stood behind him. Jacob stood calmly away from the neck of ANBU who turned to get a good look at Jacob and then glanced to his partner.

“Let him go, he is not the one we seek”, the ANBU he had ambushed said. Jacob felt the point pull away from his neck. “You do look like him though especially in that outfit.”

“What did Ikaku do?” Jacob asked his sense of urgency growing.

“He crashed the coronation ceremony of the new Utakage,” earlier today the ANBU replied. “If you want more details you should head to the village.”

With that the ANBU disappeared, moments later Jacob was on the move again himself this time making best speed through the trees towards the village.

Yumika watched as Tri came up to them and was caught under Ikaku's genjutsu... "Crap!" He yelled out but before he could do anything the genjutsu had ended... yet Tri seemed to be unaffected by it "Ahh that's right... the Ratjagon clan... I remember sparring against some of them... They made even my strongest genjutsu useless... It was good that I had my ninjutsu and taijutsu and especially my sword" he thought as he noticed that Ikaku had made a run for it...

"Quick catch him! Send out the ANBU!" He yelled to a group of shinobi standing nearby as he bolted after him... "Damn these formal clothes... I'll have to ditch them then continue the hunt.." He thought as he changed his course and made his way back to his house which was closer than his office where he kept some spare clothes...

When he arrived he quickly changed into a uniform that closely resembled that of the ANBU but with certain differences such as it was straight black unlike the dark grey of the anbu... Taking off the ceremonial sheath for his katana and replacing it with his normal lighter one he quickly bolted out and made his way in the direction Ikaku ran...

As Yumika jumped from roof to roof he saw a figure in a black cloak running into the village... "Found you"he thought as he dashed down behind him drawing his sword and held it up to his neck from behind "Now why would you try sneak back into the vill... Wait you're not Ikaku... Damnit... Who are you and what is your business here?!" Yumika demanded of the person "Wait... you have the sharingan! Are you one of Ikaku's allies?! Answer NOW!" He demanded of the person who was actually Jacob Uchiha...

(OoC- Lol my Char never met your's Kakashi soo yea...)

[Kakashi392]

"Wait... you have the sharingan! Are you one of Ikaku's allies?! Answer NOW!"...

Have I really been gone that long? Jacob thought to himself at the reception he had received since returning to the village.

"I know Ikaku but I am no ally of Ikaku," Jacob replied the memory of Minako's former pupil and the carnage he had unleashed filling his mind. It had been at that time that the realization that he was totally powerless to stop Ikaku had occured and sent him on his quest. Jacob turned to fully face the person who had addressed him his long hair and cloak blowing in the light breeze.

He didn't know this man, but that wasn't a total surprise. He had been gone for a long time new people where bound to have joined the village in that time. The man was dressed in black and held a katana similar to one he himself carried. From Jacob's estimation this man was a powerful shinobi though aside from that general observation he couldn't tell much else.

"My name is Uchiha Jacob, a member of this village who was recruited by the Utakage over five years ago. Though I have long been traveling the world I still consider this my home. If you would like proof of who I am you should ask Minako Ishii or Aika Kou," Jacob said hoping that at least one of them was around. "Now that you know a little about me who are you?"

[Skymonkey]

"Now that you know a little about me who are you?"

"Hmm... well if you know Minako... Ok then" Yumika said as he lowered his sword and put out his hand smiling "Well I think I had heard of you since I came to this village... Well I guess you look trustworthy enough" He said as he quickly looked over the man...

"Well then... I am Yumika Takada... The new Utakage" He said as Jacob took his hand... "I am originally from the hidden mist, I trained under the seven swords... and I came here for my own reasons... and it seemed people liked me... So now I'm the Utakage... A pleasure to meet you"

IN:
Tri joined the pursuit, and so had Sakuya. It only took a quick while to change of course, but.

"You usually don't do this do you? Joining people like this", asked Sakuya.

"Nope, not at all",

"Then why start now?", she inquired, she was already in her usual clothes for battle, a battle kimono that's knitted to feel as light as a feather.

"Because this guy has the potential to wipe the entire village out, I may be an anti-social ass, but I still care about the village. Besides", he said, zipping his shirt up.

"I don't like it when people crash someone else's fun", he said. Just when he was about to see the fireworks with Sakuya.

-

Tri followed on behind the Utakage at a safe distance, since if Ikaku was spotted, and he was in the vicinity or seen to be, he wouldn't have the advantage, especially if he has to protect the new Utakage after he gets affected by the Genjutsu. But after a bit, it seemed there was a false alarm, it wasn't a familiar face, but it was confirmed he was also after Ikaku.

"Guess any friend of the Utakage is a friend of ours...", he sighed. Tri jumped over to a tree next to the Utakage. Sakuya joined shortly after.

"And here I thought you found him...", said Tri, recognizing the Sharingan in his eyes.

"Though this one looks a little different to Ikaku's, so you're not him".

[MaskOfFeathers]

Sayuri looked around. They seemed to have stopped in a thick forest, but she wondered if stopping was even ideal. As if only to concern her further, she noticed Ikaku tense up. When she found that even she could locate the source of the rustling sound that had alerted him, she relaxed - no trained ninja would be so obvious. Facing the shrubs that rustled around, she saw the girl from earlier emerge with that annoying smile still on her face.
"I am Cho, Ikaku." She said. "I'm just here to stop by is all... I admire your strength and slugishness it's, like... awesome!" If the girl's demeanor and careless action hadn't seemed childish enough to convince Sayuri that this girl was an idiot, that line sure did. Of course there was the possibility of pretence, but who would openly face one such as Ikaku? Cho coughed oddly and abruptly. "I just wanted to meet you, and of course Sayuri."
Sayuri was taken aback some, but didn't let it show. How could she know her name? Ikaku was infamous, but the name Sayuri could have belonged to anyone - it was unimportant.
"Hello." Sayuri said cautiously.
Ikaku immediately turned his attention to Cho and drolled on about his eyes and something to do with "Sayuri learning that the hard way..."
"What was that, Ikaku? Something about my being hopeless in the face of someone like you? You act as if that gives you so much credit... not that I could care any less what you find creditable about that..." Sayuri muttered.
Chou was invited to join them and Ikaku summoned... a tent... and a pack of viscious-looking dogs to scout for anyone who may have followed them.
"Sayuri, Cho, go to sleep, I'll keep watch." Ikaku said.
Despite that he did this simply because he was the only one who could, effectively, keep watch, Sayuri said "Thanks."
She headed to the tent but for a moment was stopped by Ikaku, and she was slightly surprised when he leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Watch her, I still dont trust her..." -Sayuri nodded softly so as not to catch Cho's attention- "and I know I've been tense for a while... I'm sorry." Those last few words surprised her a little further. Ikaku apologizing to her, and for something so simple?
Suddenly he moved closer and kissed her briefly on the cheek before moving off to keep watch. Sayuri didn't look back at him, but her expression was frozen somewhere between bafflement and flattery. A kiss? Where the hell had that come from...?
As she focused on forcing away the colour from her cheeks she stepped into the tent and laid down on an old blanket. She was a little unexpecting of the small sadness that descended on her. Where had it come from...?

[Jadeabella]

Seeing as though Yumika took off to find Ikaku, Minako decided she should do the same. She was an ANBU and Yumika's assistant afterall. Before leaving she made an announcement to the villagers down below who seemed to be in a slight panic.

"Villagers of the Sound, The ceremony will have to be postponed for the time being, We have encountered a slight disruption. Please return home for now, I will announce when the ceremony will begin once again. It's nothing major so please don't worry yourselves, but just as a precaution please return to your homes." Minako announced to the villagers below from the platform.

She quickly made her way back to her place, changing into her Ninja gear, and putting her Shuriken back onto her back. She took off outside and looked for Yumika. Finally she found him, talking to another Ninja. She took her Shuriken from her back getting ready for a battle as she landed next to Yumika. "Right then....Whats the sitch?" She asked before glancing at the Ninja before her. Minako blinked a few times before realising who it was. Jacob? Is it...IT IS JACOB!!!" Minako squealed as she threw her arms around him. "Where have you been all this time?" she queried, "Actually, fill me in later, we need to find Ikaku before something bad happens..." Minako put her weapon back onto her back and started to head off. "You two comming or not?"
