Grass District

His hounds were always alert; it was a part of their purpose. Their jobs were finite yet plentiful in terms of their skills so where the roots of disaster would run rampant for the typical shinobi that was not the case here. Their keen noses were already running amuck when things began to unfold and just as this elusive figure making an attempt on the life of his pack. However what they would find instead at the moment these hounds caught a whiff of these bombs was that they did not flee but instead as if a whisper on the wind their images had become a blur. The pack of hounds went into a whirlwind of fur and fangs as if tearing the debris to nothing but a fine dust. They would have time to lick their wounds but all the same they would be minor in this instance as things would likely become more apparent for their assailant. If they were smart they would’ve attempted such an endeavor well before they made it this deep into the cave or rather when some other poor soul came searching for an easy pay day. No blood, no bone, and no ash was likely their hope but all they would find in return was that upon closer examination of Yaju’s position he and his hounds had carved a path for themselves. The cave’s exit or entrance depending on the persuers intention would indeed be caved in however Yaju and his four legged companions would be nearly perfectly nestled in their would be fortification. The sounds of explosions piercing ear drums and rocking the very surface of the earth however what remained true was the true destructive nature of the Inuzuka’s clans Fang Passing Fang. Where many Inuzuka would struggle in a situation such as this with only a single hound to their names this would be as if someone had thrown a bone into a dog pile. The fangs and fur now were nothing but a blind fury as they were clad in wind release with each rotation of their bodies.

Yaju and his hounds were poised as they always were a feral nature of the beast that was mother nature itself. Dogs were no different than shinobi and the hounds that Yaju had taken into his care were no exception strays and kin alike; they had been in the wilderness and raised to work alongside him without a moment of hesitation. So when things began to unfold and the body of the once noble Hyuga lay violated before him its image would go up in smoke the same way that the rubble of the cave had gone up in an uproar of explosions. If things that transpired had gone frame by frame one could find that Yaju and his companions were all so perfectly oiled in their function. Yaju had done his due diligence and captured the body of the very individual he had been in search of. While the cave was littered with a cacophony of explosions one could find his hounds going to work and Yaju performing the most basic of shinobi training. The enclosing technique with a nick of his index finger and a scrolling of his blood upon parchment they could find the body no longer in view despite its lack of eyes. He knew that wasn’t the entirety of the mission but it was certainly a stepping stone in finding who was responsible. As dust settled and rumble came to rest the figure that found himself reporting back to whom it may concern he could find Yaju and his companions standing in what could easily be described as an almost perfectly crafted arena. The debris that attempted to crush them found itself crushed in a flurry of passing fangs.

He could smell them, they all could despite the explosions that greeted them. The air was leaden with gunpowder but it was nearly impossible to fool the nose of the Inuzuka let alone a number of ninken to boot. Jujin stood behind his master as the number of hounds did the same now spread out among the room they had created for themselves. The space in question was some fifty by fifty feet. Yaju seemed to be waiting for whomever's scent was on the air mixed with the smell of gunpowder. His ears seemed to be ringing for a moment and he was sure the same could be said for his companions but as he surveyed the room to ensure their safety he could find each of them shaking out their fur, knocking loose what burnt bits resided upon their forms and remaining on edge. Jujin of them all seemed to be the most on edge despite his large commanding stature. His jowls were tight and teeth barred however there was no low growl to accompany this posturing but merely a looming glare. Yaju would stick a finger in his ear to scratch an itch, a regretful byproduct of the transpired events. He was annoyed now and whoever was responsible would find that the toll they would have to pay would be quite hefty. When this ominous figure inevitably arrived he would find Yalu looking at him with nothing but disgust in his eyes as they were now aglow with chakra because now, the hunt was underway.​

Amid the chaos of the fallen cave, a voice resonated from the swirling brown cloud of debris. The masked man, initially expecting the Konohagakure shinobi and his pack of muddied hounds to succumb to the cave-in, was caught off guard. To his astonishment, they proved to be a formidable challenge. The Inuzuka and his faithful hounds exhibited a remarkable synergy, their movements synchronizing into a deadly dance. Together, they carved a path through the rocky rubble, creating a wind vortex that resembled a drill, piercing through the stone. It was an awe-inspiring display, and if not for their acute senses, the shinobi from Konohagakure would indeed have met their end.

Annoyed and vexed that he was forced to engage in a fight, the masked man, his identity hidden behind an inscrutable visage, couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration. He had underestimated the strength and resilience of his foes, and now, a battle he hadn't anticipated lay before him. The thought of needing to collect even more DNA to achieve his objectives irked him. Hino Hyūga's defeat was a significant accomplishment, considering he was one of Konohagakure's most prodigious talents. This fight was indeed no trifling matter.

"Insolent fool," the masked man hissed, anger tainting his voice. He spoke with an air of authority, well aware of the potency of his abilities. "I'll drown both you and your wretched mutts," he declared with a chilling certainty.

In the blink of an eye, the masked man executed an extraordinary technique, vanishing into the earth. His body merged seamlessly with the ground beneath him, rendering him indiscernible. Simultaneously, the earth obeyed his command, transforming into a treacherous swamp of thick, chakra-infused mud. The intention was clear – to ensnare the dog whistler and his loyal hounds. The mud was not ordinary; it bore the imprinted scent of the masked shinobi, making it a chakra-infused trap of treacherous proportions.

The muck was as sticky as it was deep, creating a quagmire that threatened to swallow its victims whole. It was an astute display of his power, an indication that the masked shinobi was not to be trifled with. The swampy quagmire that now surrounded the Inuzuka and his hounds rivaled the size and depth of a river, revealing the true extent of the masked man's formidable capabilities.

Xaio Tendo The Kusakage.jpg

1698445343078.png

The Kusakage, having changed into his Clans highest form of garments, slowly looked out the window, the wheels of machination were in play, and now, it was time for him to go to a place only he and his twin brother ever spoke about, one in which would play as the base of operation for K.L.A.W, and with this in mind, Xaio began to leave the Kage building, leaving his wife and secretary in charge while he was away, knowing that Alpha has always had a way to contact him should he ever need to return. Stepping out from the building as his people waved goodbye with smiles upon their faces; the Kusakage though carried himself diligently and coldly as his hands slowly began to emit a faint white glow, the bottom of his feet doing so as well as he'd propel into the heavens like a white shooting star allowing the Kusakage to begin his journey to a location only disclosed to himself and his brother, a location that requires K.L.A.W bounties to be completed for hints of this mysterious new base of operation...

All they were waiting for was a glimpse of their prey. Without hesitation, the figure discovered the presence of the very hounds he had hoped to dispatch the moment he uttered a word. Yaju watched, confident that the figure's attempted escape would prove futile. It wasn't a mere game of cat and mouse; it was a hound clamping its jaws onto its next meal. The figure realized the mess he had made was nonexistent.

Yaju's nose turned up in disdain as the figure emerged. He soon realized that Yaju and his hounds were upon him without a moment's hesitation. The attempt on his life triggered a primal urge that couldn't be undone. Yaju moved the instant the figure uttered the word "insolent." His movement across the now ruined landscape was surprisingly graceful for a clan known for their bestial nature. When Yaju moved, so did the beast he commanded. His image blurred, reminiscent of an aberration or ghost. Yaju's movements were ghastly, catching even the most seasoned eyes by surprise. The hounds, too, moved with otherworldly grace, pouncing on the man before he could utter his first words. The man had spent too much time plotting and not enough calculating his own potential demise. His use of explosives was impressive, but how could he catch the prey when he himself was the prey?

Yaju extended his right hand, aiming to rip the mask from the man's face. Instead of merely plucking it off, he clawed at it aggressively, channeling both his chakra and wind release into his fingertips. Even if Yaju missed, the wind in the air would follow, turning basic strikes into complex attacks. His hounds surrounded the opponent, preventing any escape attempts. If the figure tried to burrow into the earth, he would find himself met with a barrage of fangs and paws, thwarting his escape. This wasn’t merely the essence of a beast but a display of Inuzuka comradery among their four legged companions. This figure could find himself buried underneath the might of the very same thing that saved the lot of them in the first place, a spiral of fangs, fur, and might all the same coming to bare without a moment's hesitation in light of any fleeting effort to escape his fate.

Within the Kusakages office, sitting upon the desk; Alpha the wife of Xaio Tendo continued to do the necessary paperwork; her blue eyes seemingly exhausted by the amount of documentations required for the Shinobi Alliance and her mind pondering just where Xaio had went off too. Things utterly out of her control as she continued the necessary tasks that her husband had given her.

(UNDISCLOSED LOCATION)
Soaring across the sky like a white comet, it soon came crashing upon the surface of an ancient land of the old world; here Xaio Tendo rose from the blistering smolder of white flames as his black eyes observed the location in which he and his brother had selected all so long ago. As his attire fluttered with the sea breeze, his eyes fixated on the massive ruins of what once was a beloved nation and even towards the massive crater where a once beautiful village stood. Taking in this information as Xaio slowly moved through the ruins he'd recollect the information of a hidden cavern system; one in which would play the base of operation for the K.L.A.W organization. As he walked searching high and low, it would ultimately take one hour before alas he'd find the entrance of this cave, where the moon shined over this land at the dead of night; but even as the sun remained here this land was graced by that celestial body. Slowly entering the Cavern System, it would be here with the aid of his NOVA Release that Xaio began constructing the base in which the Organization will remain...

Listen while you read~


The Stone District :
The Gold Masked ANBU, an elite force meticulously chosen by Itami, moved with seamless precision as they dispersed throughout the tumultuous scene outside the UMF office. Their specialized mission: evacuate civilians from the impending chaos. Each member bore the weight of responsibility on their shoulders, knowing that the lives of those they saved rested in their swift and decisive actions.

As they vanished into the shadows, their sleek movements were a testament to their honed ninja skills. The pulse of urgency drove them to execute their tasks with a silent efficiency that spoke volumes about their training under the Tsuchikage. In the chaos that unfolded, the ANBU became a beacon of order, a force devoted to safeguarding the lives of non-combatants.

The single-use scrolls of boogie-woogie, a unique and invaluable tool bestowed upon them by Itami, played a pivotal role in their mission. With a simple activation, the ANBU could transport civilians to predetermined safe zones. The Grass District, with its serene landscapes, the bustling Technology District, and the familiar embrace of the Leaf District were the chosen refuges.

Each three-man squad operated like a well-oiled machine. Their communication was silent, their movements synchronized. As the first rays of chaos cascaded around them, the Gold Masked ANBU orchestrated a symphony of rescues, teleporting civilians to safety with a blink and a gesture. It was a dance of shadows and scrolls, a ballet of rescue that unfolded amidst the chaos, ensuring that those who couldn't defend themselves were swiftly transported away from the impending storm. The Gold Masked ANBU, in their silent vigil, became the unsung heroes of the moment, embodying the essence of protection and duty in the face of adversity. After Civilians were brought to safety, The ANBU would find themselves instantly sent to the Grass District, The Technology District and the Leaf District.


Grass District :
The Gold Masked ANBU materialized amidst the lush, vibrant landscape of the Grass District. The air carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers, a stark contrast to the ominous task at hand. The tranquility that once defined the district had been replaced by an unsettling tension, and the ANBU wasted no time in assessing the situation.

Their primary objective in the Grass District was to locate the Kusakage, the leader of the region. The urgency of the missive demanded swift action, and the Gold Masked ANBU moved with silent determination through the swaying grass and verdant scenery.

Amidst the emerald hues of the Grass District, the ANBU encountered a seasoned shinobi who bore the insignia of the Kusakage. The air crackled with a sense of urgency as they conveyed the gravity of the situation and the sealed missive from the Tsuchikage.


Technology District :
The Gold Masked ANBU materialized in the heart of the Technology District, their silent presence concealed in the shadows. The air hummed with the sounds of advanced machinery and the occasional sparking of electrical currents. The once vibrant and innovative district now seemed to pulsate with an undercurrent of distress.
Amidst the evacuation efforts, the ANBU sought out key figures who could aid in the Tsuchikage's missive. The Tsuchikage's sealed message held the weight of urgency, and the Gold Masked ANBU knew that time was of the essence. They approached individuals who showed a command of technology, their minds racing to find the right allies to assist in the transmission of the vital message.


Leaf District :
The Gold Masked ANBU emerged in a secluded area known only to those with the highest clearance within the Hidden Leaf Village. The surroundings were familiar yet concealed, a testament to the strategic foresight of the Hokage. As the ANBU materialized, the unmistakable aura of the Hokage's chakra enveloped them.

In the heart of the Leaf District, tranquility still prevailed. The district remained untouched by the invading forces, offering a momentary reprieve from the chaos that unfolded in other regions. The Gold Masked ANBU, ever vigilant, sensed the watchful gaze of the Hokage upon them.

Their mission in the Leaf District held a dual purpose — assess the situation for potential assistance to the allied forces and relay the sealed missive from the Tsuchikage. The ANBU, adept in the art of silent communication, conveyed the urgency of the Tsuchikage's message. The Hokage's expression shifted, a brief flicker of concern, before a decisive nod acknowledged the need for swift action. The Hokage would know Itami and have had communications with him before hand. While not the most alliance assured method of getting information to the Leaf, it was the fastest.

With the Arrival of Golden Masked Individuals, the Shinobi of the Grass would realize the urgency of the situation, guiding these masked individuals to the Kage Office where the Wife of the Kusakage seemed neck deep in paperwork for the expenses of the villages economy. With the Three Guided inside, Alpha noticed the scroll which only comes from a singular village... The Stone, and as she managed to convince the Anbu to give it to her to relay to her husband, though with some reluctance it would be granted. And as the scroll was received, Alpha seemed to have gotten in communication with Xaio Tendo even with his location disclosed. The Scroll having been sent by Carrior bird, didn't take long to reach its targeted audience. And upon doing so deep in the dark caverns of this undisclosed location, the birds wings fluttered as it took perch against the Kusakages left arm as he took the scroll, opening it with his right hand allowing him to read the contents inside. His grey eyes slightly widening, as the not so distant memories of the Incident in the sand flashed in his mind, a smirk curling across his lips His Left eye transitioning ever so slightly from a gray color to a vibrant cyan and sky blue glow before returning to normal.​
"So they show their faces again...This time they won't be getting away from me... Very well Lord Tsuchikage... I'll accept thy request of aid. Even if it is vexing to my objective, it will allow me to let loose alas."
This voice being said as the footsteps slowly escape the entrance of the carverns maw, a man steps forth, his hair bewildered and unkempt, as the moonlight shined across his figure, his left eye glowing in this illumination, revealing the Lord of the Grass District, Xaio Tendo... And in that brief moment, the bottom of his feet, his very hands begin emitting a bright and beautiful white glow before alas his entire being is shrouded in this white glow of heated chakra as he shot up towards the night sky, moving in the direction of the District of Stone. In the night sky he moved like a white shooting star in the pitch black night. His Kekkei Genkai of Nova Release: Soaring Star was now in use for traversing the oceans towards the stone...

Though as Xaio Tendo traversed the sky, his approach to the Grass district closing in, there was a strange sensation building up inside his stomach; a worry about those close to him; as a result Xaio would increase the speed in which he traversed the skies with the aid of his doujutsu, a mysterious eye called the Jikangan utilizing its synapses Boost x2 he'd double the speed in which he moved closing his distance needed to travel before alas he'd come slowly descending himself upon the rooftop of the Kage Office of his village. Here that strange sensation continued to grow, like anxiety creeping up on him as he quickly made his way inside, darting through the halls with a sprinter speed, turning corner after corner before alas reaching his office door where he'd throw it open... But before his eyes was not a welcoming sight, no it was one of traumatizing and grief ridding horror. Signs of conflict inside the room displayed with slashes and torn apart furniture. Pinned to the wall of his office, where the crimson blood flowed down from a womans figure crucified to the wall itself. Xaio's eyes widening, something inside his body, no his heart breaking as he now stood before the defiled corpse of his wife and unborne child. Slowly stumbling like a man who has lost everything fell upon his knees before his wifes corpse. His hands reaching up towards her still body, shaking and trembling as if to frightened and distraught to grasp at her cold flesh. His mouth opening as tears trailed down his face, the sound of a grief stricken scream echoed through the Kage office building. A scream of pain and suffering through an emotional cause as Xaio remained still, his mind unable to grasp at what horror was before him. Who could do such a thing, and why... Was this a cause of the Shinobi system being so far behind that it created a catalyst of death and suffering? These were the thoughts running through the mind of the Kusakage as he screamed.

As his screams echoed and Grass Shinobi entered the room to find the scene of utter carnage, they could do nothing but stand, seeing the pain that Xaio was succumbing too before alas things would grow to a still stagnant silence. Xaio's attire heating up by the flames of his Nova Release began burning away at the fabric, leaving his torso exposed. Though in utter silence, he'd slowly rise upon his feet; his gaze fixated on his wifes corpse strung up like an idol of some demented man or woman. His left hand slowly reached out, still shaking he'd press his palm against the corpse before a white flame engulfed the flesh, incinerating the body down to a cellular level as by the time the cremation was done, Xaio's hand remained still pressed against the air. As his hand slowly fell to his side, the Kusakage slowly began walking past his Shinobi, his gaze not once looking upon them as he began moving towards the Hidden Vault beneath his office; a place where he'd stash the information of his clan as Xaio deemed it now the time to learn the Nova Releases final two jutsu's.

With each stride made he'd continue forth towards the Hidden Vault which needed the access by the Kage's Chakra; and as he approached a hidden door opened, torches igniting lighting his way down as he made his descent into the darkness below. Each step echoing as the entrance closed and sealed itself. Each moment as he descended drawing him closer as his mind seemed to twist and grow cold by the events. As he made his way to solid ground, where two scrolls reside, one labeled Nova Release, the Other labeled KLAW Xaio slowly took the Nova Release Scroll, opening and studying the contents, and thanks to his intelligence it would not take him long to fully understand the properties of Nova Release and the Jutsu's inside the scroll. The first called Rods of Immobilization, a fuinjutsu and the other the most powerful Nova Release Jutsu Ritualistic Nova were now engraved into his mind, his muscle memory and chakra synchronized with the information and access to these two jutsu's before alas he'd incinerate the scroll, causing both jutsu's to be lost forever... Now as he turned to the Scroll called KLAW, its contents were the Non benefitial technique called Klaw Chakra Mode, in which further granted Xaio the understanding of his own chakra, allowing him to become one with it; but with this scroll he'd slowly stow it away in his pouch before moving further in, where a black robe resided, one in which resembled a monk group that was taken out by an unknown invader, the last known user of a robe similar to this but white was called Jigen, though no other information was known. Dawning this robe and attire, Xaio's glowing Jikangan pierced the darkness; symbolizing the clarity of his new ambition, one which his organization's inner members when collected would help achieve....

As Xaio stood within the dark recesses of the Underground vault, his hands resting too his sides as mysterious Figures cladding darkened onyx robes slowly reveal themselves from the basking darkness that shrouded the location. Each adorning strange masks of oriented design, representing one of the Five Nature Chakra's along with two representing Yin and the other representing Yang. These Seven Cloaked and masked Shinobi's of unknown origin stood at attention, waiting for the order from their leader, the Kusakage Xaio Tendo who's Jikangan glowed brilliantly through the darkness like a cerulean star in a starless night sky. As Xaio slowly stepped forth towards his selected "Anbu" of the Grass now converted to that of the Messengers of the Organization K.L.A.W, Xaio spoke with but a calculated and cold tone, concealing his still fresh emotional wound to his heart,
"Send this Invitation out to Itami Yamazaki the Tsuchikage, Tenbo Uchiha of the Leaf, Yonrochi the Leader of the Rain District, Chika Kumoi the Raikage, and Higetsu Hozuki of the Mist. The Invitation is as such... It is an honor to offer you out an invitation for my Organization called K.L.A.W. We have taken notice of your feats and prowess and determined you an asset worthy of the inner ranked leaderships.The objective of K.L.A.W is to allow a revolution in the shinobi world to better protect what we cherish from the Invaders that have been beseeching each district. But this decision will be yours and yours alone. I shall not pressure you further, should you decide upon an answer you can reach out to my representative in the grass district, where you will recieve the three clues to the Organizations Hideout. ~X.T"
This being said as Xaio slowly walked past his Messengers, he continued with but a warning to each of them, his eye having given a gaze of cruelty and significance of completion,​
"Do not Fail me... The Hardest one to find will be Tenbo Uchiha of the Leaf. In that Regards if you can not find him, deliver his message to Mujin uchiha, each Message will have a specialized seal that the person it is designated for will only be able to read from. Now Go Shadows of K.L.A.W."
This last warning given, each of these so called Shadows of K.L.A.W would depart back into the darkness, moving out to relay their messages to the chosen individuals. Leaving Xaio to ascend from the Vault and out of the Kage Office building where he'd look up upon the sky, his new ambitions wheel now spinning into play, Just what is this Organization K.L.A.W and by what means does it seek to revolutionize the Shinobi World as everyone knows it?

The battle had raged on for days, the masked man's deceptive tactics proving formidable against Yaju and his hounds. Despite the relentless persistence, the mysterious foe maintained an elusive edge. As Yaju closed the distance, the masked man executed a subtle tilt to the left, narrowly evading Yaju's strike. The attack, intended for the mask, only collided with its surface, the mask adhering to the man's face as if bound by an unseen force. But this was just a ruse; the masked man's body was no more than mud, intangible and impervious. "Attacks like this won't work on me," the masked man declared, and in an instant, his mud-like form dispersed over the terrain, merging with the earth itself. The very ground became an extension of his being, enabling him to move stealthily and launch surprise attacks. The simplicity of the mission had morphed into a grueling test, demanding more than just physical strength to overcome this elusive adversary. The air hung heavy with the tension of uncertainty, and the landscape bore witness to the fluid dance between Yaju and the masked man, a dance that required not just brawn but strategic wit to unravel the mysteries concealed beneath the mask of mud.
