Bear Hunting? Bear Hunting :3 [Open.]

Jounin (S) Posts : 38 Ryo : 1250

The deep woods were wonderful this time of year, it was significantly warmer than it was in the boreal forests in the northern reaches of Umigakure's lands; Morigakure was far more temperate and sub-tropical, and while that was definitely different from what he'd spent most of his life in, it was still nice. The animals were different, and larger, and far more vicious, and all those wonderful things that made for fun hunts. The travel out of the cold lands and into these warmer regions was quick enough and calm; far more so than when he was alone; he had his cub with him, so he was taking things... not easier, but he wasn't taking the wild detours until they'd had time to readjust to spending this much time around each other.

A few days was more than enough, and now that they'd gotten properly into the right parts of the world to have him calm and content; or as much as he ever was; it was time to start having some fun. He'd been finding signs of the large bears that where famous in this area; they where the bane of travelers and fur trappers alike; but that just made them awesome to him. They where amazing to sell, not that he cared about money; and even more fun to wrestle and kill. Fun fun fun!

A quick campsite; a rarity that he only invested his time in when he planned to set up his tanning racks and such; which if they where going to go after bears he would. She needed a bear skin overcoat, after all; and these where the best kind to get. Beyond the small fire, his racks where hidden under the overhang of a large boulder that had been trapped and overgrown into the roots of one of the massive pines, it made for a nice 'roof' that kept the elements off them, and let him hide his gear while he put it together. A rather lavish campsite, really.

"Cub. Up the tree. Scout the area." If they where were he thought they were, there should be a rather obvious mountain a few clicks to the west, and a large river south of their position by maybe half a day's walk. That would put them square in the middle of a migration corridor for the local elk species, which meant bears would be nearby. The river itself would be the best place to go hunting for bears in roughly three months, when the fish migrated up stream for breeding season; but right now all the large predators would be stalking the big game moving through this area.

Warmth. it was something she hadn't felt in quite a while. Given her ice nature, and how long she had spent in the north end of Umigakure, she had simply grown used to the cold to the point to where it didn't effect her. So this? This was strange. But, strange wasn't a bad thing. Their camp was a rather nice one; oh, in truth she would have been comfortable with a padded place to sleep, but a 'roof' of sorts over their head? A place to call their own for a bit? It was nice. She had no complaints either way. She was with Ranmaru so she was happy.

At Ranmaru's words she tilted her head a bit with her long white ears twitching. Climb a tree to look around? She didn't have eyes; it was why she kept her eyes covered, and she didn't need to be up high for her chakra radar to tell her everything and anything going on around them. She didn't comment though, she just simply smiled: she was used to Ranmaru's randomness. She used to have eyes, it had been a thing, so she didn't think twice about it.

Besides, she could still give him what he wanted to know. "Mountain to the west, and a large river to the south; maybe a day's walk from here. There's a large old to the each; and several others a little further out that don't look quite so old."

Walking through the woods was a nice venture, one that the new Harukage liked to indulge himself with. However, there was a second, ulterior motive to his little walk. He was pondering what he was about to do next, and the woods helped clear the Senju's mind. He wished to implant his genetic material into his two new students, but he needed to find a good enough medic to do it. One of them, Luke Yasenha, he hoped would be able to pass his Wood Release to, and the other, Okami Uchiha, he hoped to help develop his eyes into something further, something...godlike. He needed powerful shinobi in the times to come, as he felt a great change about to happen. Tem had stepped down, leaving him to guard their home. He would do whatever he needed to in order to do this, even if it meant risking himself under the knife of a medic.

Soon, he saw a campfire through the trees. It would have taken anyone else ages to be able to detect it, but Muninn was an old hat when it came to detecting anomalies in the forest. Making his way towards them, he made no attempt at stealth. They were in the woods, after all, and the woods were his home. It would take an extremely strong shinobi to take him out here, of all places, much like fighting a Sabure in the desert. Speaking of Sabure, he had heard stories about the Arenokage being a Medical Nin while she was in Morigakure. Okami had been on her team when he made his mistakes, but perhaps she held him no hard feelings. Maybe she would be able to perform the procedures necessary, even if it was for a personal favor she could cash in anytime.

Walking into the small campsite with a grin, he casually noticed a girl in a tree who had likely spotted him, and what looked to be a bear beneath her. The girl was pretty, with bunny ears, but he was enough of a gentleman to only note this in passing without staring. The other person, as he determined the odd shape was, seemed to be wearing multitudes of pelts and smelled nothing like a human. Clever.

Clearing his throat to draw their attention, if he didn't already have it, he would give a smile and begin to speak. "Hello! My name is Muninn. I'm the Harukage, so it's my job to make sure that everyone is happy and healthy. May I ask what brings you here?"

Short, simple, and to the point. Muninn wouldn't seem impolite in his words at all, and genuinely cared for their well-being while they were in his country. Of course, he figured that the two of them were Missing-Nin, likely deserters, but he would give them the benefit of the doubt and hear their side of the story before he did anything else.

"Mountain to the west, and a large river to the south; maybe a day's walk from here. There's a large old to the each; and several others a little further out that don't look quite so old."

Good, good; they where in the right area. A day's walk to the river put them a bit far north, but still well within the corridor they needed to be in. It meant he could settle in a bit, which was good; as his brain was currently doing somersaults in his head, which had him in the middle of a session of repetitive tics and verbalizations that always happened when his mind was fritzing like this. He had been repairing a broken cross slat for one of his tanning racks; but the carefully carved slat was not being turning into sawdust by a bone knife that he'd made from the jawbone of a large elk a few days prior for the shits the giggles; it was more than enough to handle the green, wet oak wood he was working with, so crushing and shredding it until it resembled confetti was easy enough. Not that it mattered, he would have just be smacking a broken knife against the wood and rock anyway; cause he couldn't stop what he was doing until his brain reset when he was like this.

Suddenly, company.

FOOD!

He was about to flick his head to raise the hood of his pelt when the male spoke, and he was suddenly very, very angry. Irrationally so.

"Hello! My name is Muninn. I'm the Harukage, so it's my job to make sure that everyone is happy and healthy. May I ask what brings you here?"

Kage.

Kage.

This one was a Kage.

His Kage had left him to rot with the psychopath that beat, tortured, raped, and destroyed him. His Kage never lifted a finger to help him. A Kage left Mitsuo to use Kaia; his cub, as an experiment.

Ranmaru was the definition of sudden anger.

Beneath the pelts and the layers, the special cloth that he wore wrapped around his arms, legs, and chest, began to move; making it appear as though his body was shifting and pulsing for a long moment before settling with an audible crack; he'd tightened ever muscle in his body and caused joints to crack and set out of 'normal' configuration, giving him the ability to properly move as a bear. The layers filled out his bulk, making him really look like a bear, outside of the fact that the other male was close enough to see the lack of a lower jaw to the overpelt and the fact that he lacked definition to his 'paws'.

"Tasty meaaaaat... wanderssss into my camp..." He released a rumbling growl, shifting and digging fingers and claws into the dirt for traction. He wanted to pounce... oh, did he ever want to pounce. Kaia was above... she was out of range, so long as he didn't explode the person... "Kage... Kage is meat.. Kage is fuuuunnn... kiiiiiiill... feaaaassssssst..."

Aaaaaand now with the creepy laughter.

"Little Kage will run, yesssss? Little Kage is prey for bear-man...."

He was even being a gentleman, and giving the man a chance to run. How nice of him.

Kaia-Mai simply 'watched' Ranmaru through her chakra radar, reaching up to adjust the silk cloth that covered her eyes. She never judged her new father, she had no reason to: they both had their antics, the things that made them them, and she wouldn't judge him for them. Kaia-Mai was just beginning to think about settling into the tree for a while, the breeze up that high was quite cool and nice, when the arrival of an individual caught her attention.

On the high branch she was on she would shift; a blind bunny girl in a tree certainly couldn't seem threatening, surely. She wrapped her left arm around the tree trunk while tilting her head to the side; long white bunny ears twitching and swiveling as she listened.

The man called himself the Harukage, said that it was his job to make sure his people were healthy and happy. Kages... she hated kages. Nothing good came from being near one; only pain, only hurting. No, no, no! What would this kage do? Would he try and take Ranmaru away from her? Try and take her away from him? NO! NO! NO!

As Ranmaru would begin to move, his plans for the Harukage clear, Kaia-Mai would begin to have her own little freak out. Kages. They were evil things. They needed to be destroyed. Destroyed and erased from existence. Ranmaru would do this; Ranmaru would eat him and remove him from the world. "NONONO! KAGES ARE BAD! KAGES HURT PEOPLE! NONONO!" Cue the very upside 'child' in the eighteen year old woman's body. But, that was Kaia-Mai for you; as child minded as they come - thankfully, she was very small for her size meaning she was more like a child than a woman. The things that had been done to her made her this way of course, and it would be like this she would likely forever remain.

"DO NOT HURT MY DADDY! I WILL HURT YOU! I WILL! NONONO! KAGES ARE BAD! GO AWAY! GO AWAY!" Suddenly, it was like a mental shift; the normally calm and quiet Kaia-Mai, the obedient "child", was suddenly raving mad. Insane. Mentally shattered.

"Actually, I was planning on inviting you to join my Village, if you wanted..."

SHIT! Muninn hadn't expected to run into cannibals, that was for sure, and with the way they both reacted to his statement of being Kage, he assumed they had bad interactions with their last one. This was going to hell faster than he could blink. Dashing off with the speed of an arrow, he began to make his way back home with haste, making sure that he moved in a seemingly random pattern in order to confuse his opponents. It likely hadn't worked, but who knows?

As an added defense, he made a few hand seals, using his most powerful jutsu - the Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees - to create a massive cage of trees that spanned 50 meters behind him, enveloping the enemy, and would continue to thicken as he ran. He didn't want to hurt the two wanderers, but he couldn't afford to die here.

Another added precaution is that he formed a Wood Clone to wait for the two to break out, allowing him some extra time while they dealt with that. He pumped a large portion of chakra into said clone in order for it to be able to use a few jutsu. It would wait just outside the cage, and speak to them while they were in it.

"Well, then. I want you guys to consider my offer. I also would like to know what you have against me as a Kage, since that appears to be an issue. Is it all right for me to know?"

"Actually, I was planning on inviting you to join my Village, if you wanted..."

Even in Bear Cloak, he could speak and laugh and all those human things normally done by anyone of the human variety, even if he prefered not to most of the time. He actually clearly cackled like a madman, his former rage momentarily broken by pure, absolute, mirth filled insane laughter that was likely creepier than anything either of them had said. This insanity lasted about half a second before Kaia's words hit his brain and he was back to rage-demon mode. Kaia was upset. His cub was upset. This could not be allowed to be. No one upset his cub without being ended, summarily.

This man was Senju, eh? He was assuming as such because of the rather obvious attempt to stop him while he ran away by using what appeared to be Nativity of a World of Trees. He was guessing, yes; but it was educated, at least; Ranmaru had studied hard before leaving his village, and while the full power of the Senju clan was hidden away, some abilities were well documented, and this was one of them. It wouldn't be enough, the trees grew quickly, but he was definitely faster. In the time it took for the trees to begin planting, and what appeared to be some sort of clone coming into existence, he was running after the real one. The clone was painfully obvious to his eyes and senses; even more so because it had formed directly within his field of vision; and he could see the other male sprinting away at speeds that were on par with his own natural sprint. This would be fun. The Kage might have a few meters head start, and nearly, if not fully identical foot speed as him, but he had an ace in the hole. All around him the cloth that he wore around his arms, legs, and chest exploded outward even as he himself exploded out from underneath the layers of pelt and furs that had given him the appearance of a bear. He didn't need them now, and there was no reason to maintain the Bear Cloak jutsu any longer.

He was sprinting after the Kage even as his cloth bolts shot forward toward the male, they moved in relation to his position, so while he was sprinting at full speed and wouldn't be able to easily close the distance between them on his own, his cloth was moving faster than him because it's relative speed base was equal to his, so it's additional natural movement speed pushed it far beyond what he could normally achieve. With the bolt on his right arm and chest being of the absolute best quality and length, combined with the natural speed of the S-rank Cloth Seal (60m/s), he had more than enough to catch the male; using them like ropes to lasso him and pull himself along faster. The moment contact would be made, the male was completely screwed, as the cloth would begin to wrap and bind his arms and legs until he could no longer move. "Silly Kage~ ... Prey does not essscaaape the hunter~ using cheap tricksssss...~"

So long as the binding was begun, there was no stopping it. His clan had an ability that enhanced the cloth used to bind a target, causing the base seal to expand and cover the cloth, so that the binding could not be escaped by any means of a chakra related nature. Once the cloth was set, there was no escaping unless released, or the target was sufficiently strong enough to break out. At the same time as the slea expanded across the cloth, a secondary seal would begin to form, one that, if allowed to set, would begin to burn through the cloth over the next few moments until it reached the body of the target, and caused a massive explosion; the penultimate Kurosaki Sealing Art, known simply as Explosive Fabric Wrap Burial. It was rarely used, and even more rare to be seen; as it was only used in the most necessary of times.

The Wood Kage Man Beast had upset his cub.

This was a very appropriate time to use this.

He was even nice enough to allow the head of the Kage to remain uncovered, once the binding completed; it if did; as he wished to toy with the male a bit longer. "You would offer us asylum? We are not of your world, Woo Kage Man Beast.~ My cub and I have no use for human things, or human cities. They are hunting ground at best, yeeeesssss? Humanity made us this way, we have no use for it, now.~"

Was the Kage truly running away? It was enough to snap Kaia-Mai momentarily out of her mental breakdown. The Kage was running. The kage had just turned himself into prey. The Kage was going to be eaten, or hurt, or killed; or all three perhaps at the same time. Perhaps Ranmaru would even eat him while he was alive! Kaia wanted to. Kaia wanted him to suffer like she wanted all Kage's to suffer. Kages were bad, they were bad people.

"EAT HIM! GET HIM! EAT HIM! CHASE HIM!", Kaia would call after Ranmaru as he took off, clearly uneffected by the Kage's methods of trying to stop them from persuing him. Ranmaru had his own methods while Kaia-Mai had her own. Her blindfold would fall to the ground like a gorgeous ribbon as the only gift her birth sire had given her that was worthy of such a title: Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. With this ability can another, one she had gained ages ago but rarely used: Kamui.

It was precisely how she was going to dodge all of these trees, precisely how she was going to phase herself straight through them. This would also ensure she would be able to get past the clone the Kage so blatantly left behind. "DODGY DODGY! CAN'T TOUCH THE BUNNY. TEEHEEHEE!", words spoken after Kaia-Mai would phase herself through the trees, through any attack thrown at her really, in her persuit of Ranmaru and the Kage. Oh, she knew she wouldn't be able to catch up, they moved far too fast for that, but she would hopefully get to see the ending: she would hopefully get to bare witness to the Kage's death.

Muninn knew that if he didn't do something fast, he was screwed as the bear-man's cloth wrapped around his left wrist. What did he know of the Kurosaki Clan? Unfortunately, not much other than the fact that they used cloth. He assumed that since the man was able to keep up with him and even catch him with the aid of his cloth that he would easily be classified as an S-Ranked Jounin in any Village. Having an idea, Muninn did the unexpected. He wouldn't lay down and die, not now. He refused to leave his Village in the hands of a temperamental Uchiha, even if he had calmed down, and a torture-happy Jounin-turned-Genin who didn't really have the skill to back up his talk. Using Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs, he would pierce his left tricep with a length of wood, exploding three shards outward in order to sever the arm that was caught by the cloth. Dripping blood, he heaved his way onto the next branch, calling out behind him as he continued to run. They were scarcely a mile outside of the Village, and he would reach it before they could catch him this time, especially with his ace in the hole.

"Once upon a time, I would have played with you more, but I'm sorry. I can't afford to die here, not now. Yes, I would offer you asylum. I would even offer you a chance to hunt the enemies of the Village. Now, I ask you to reconsider, and I would suggest you look behind you."

After he spoke, his clone would rush up behind the man, having been given plenty of time to catch up. Grappling with him, the clone would quickly use Wood Release: Wood Dragon to bind them both in a sphere. Muninn had no doubt he would break out, but by then he would be in the Village. In fact, he could see the gates now.

Admin Invasion!

Okay, a few things need to be pointed out here before anyone can proceed with RPing.

1. Muninn, you cannot bring an injury into another thread that started before this one (someone said you did) so if that is the case your recent most post in that other thread is void.

2. Now, I'm assuming from conversations on Skype that Ranmaru is letting you go, but I need to point this out regardless for future reference. The cloth Ranmaru is using is SS rank, that means that for you to stand a chance to pierce it it would have had to be with a SS rank weapon as you cannot mold jutsu due to the cloth binding your ability to use chakra. So technically you wouldn't have been able to use any jutsu at all the moment that cloth got its 'hands' on you.

3. Since you are being allowed to escape to avoid an argument (from what I gathered on Skype that is) you now have 3 posts until you bleed out in which time you must find a S rank medic before you bleed out from your severed arm. Your 3rd post would have you passing out unconscious at the end, and you will be dead come your forth (or the passing of 3 IRL days) if you are not given medical attention.

A knock came to Luke's door, it was a hard knock and Luke groaned.

"yeah, yeah, I'm coming," Luke said; this whole thing with having to deal with the training earlier was a pain in the ass, but he opened the door to find a ANBU there.

"Come on, you'll coming with me to assist lord harukage, he has been attacked and I need assistance, so get your ass out and come on," The ANBU said harshly before heading off, leaving Luke behind as Luke shook his head.

"Idiot, I knew something like this would happen eventually," Luke said with a groan before getting his gear and quickly rushed out, heading to the gate. He looked around and saw, in the distance, the kage was walking back, he looked wounded and there was a stump where the bottom half of his arm used to be. Luke then began to glow with lightning before his body split, forming two lightning style shadow clones of himself. The two clones looked at the original.

"You guys, get the kage to safety and get him to the medical centre as fast as you can run; I'll go with the ANBU to see about dealing with these guys, whatever they seem to be," Luke said soloumly, the two clones nodded and would run to the kage and they would take a arm each and allow the kage to take support from the two clones. The clones would then help the kage into the village and would head to the medical centre, where medical staff had been alerted to the kage's condition and the head medical staff were preparing to assist the kage in anyway they can. Meanwhile, Luke would head off to join the ranks of his ANBU babysitters to find two bizzare ninja, bound by the wooden dragon jutsu of the kage. He didn't want to get too close as the ANBU formed a barrier around them so they couldn't escape.

"I won't pretend to know why you've attacked the kage nor why your here at all. I am no kage, I'm like you; driven from my home and forced to roam around. Tell me; what is it you desire?" Luke would ask the pair from the other side of the barrier; he wasn't lying to them, there would be no point, but he felt like they weren't beyond reason, but he made a note of how strong they were to be able to force the kage to amputate his own arm to escape them, so they weren't to be underestimated, but if this could be resolved with talk, then he could let them go and leave them to do whatever they were doing before, but only time would tell.

Luke, you cannot enter this thread controlling ANBU. Only kages or other ANBU members have a right to NPC ANBU. Considering that Muninn left before hand and didn't summon ANBU in this thread or any other your post is void.

can't I remove the ANBU and go it alone then?

Unless your character has some form of sensory, or some jutsu that allows them to see vast distances then no, not without meta gaming. They're in the deep woods, well away from the village. You are more than welcome to help in taking Muninn to another village however for medical attention in his travel thread if that is what you wish. I just cannot see a way for your character to enter this thread outside of meta gaming, unfortunately.

But I can't, remember? I'm not allowed to go to the hidden dark or I'll be killed, no matter what my reason is, the hidden ocean village is pretty much out the question and the hidden sand doesn't have medical ninja, besides, I can't just sit here and do nothing

Holeman is a Medical ninja. He lives in the Desert.
Emiko, the new Kage of the desert, is also a medical ninja.

Genin Posts : 114 Ryo : 5173

But Holeman is your alley, he'll kill me if I go to him because you keep telling people that I'm a bad guy. My only option is the new kage of the desert then.

Kuraikage Posts : 319 Ryo : 9253

(I never told anyone that you were a bad guy. All that was said about you was that you faked your death. It's Okami who's been going around fouling things up everywhere. I would appreciate it if you didn't put words and phrases that I didn't say in my mouth.

Holeman isn't a cold blooded murderer either. At best, he would tell you to leave. I don't think he would just let a man bleeding to death die either, being a medic.

Come in the chatbox if you want to discuss things like this. You are no longer chat banned. Don't go back and fourth in threads.)

ok, I'll go make a travel thread to take the kage to the hidden desert village, its his only chance to live and the only way to get there in time is to fly there with my summon

Spoiler:

Right. The dude ripped his own limbs off. Using wood release.

That haaaaad to hurt. Meh, whatever, if he wanted to bleed out like a bitch, they'd just leave him for the scavengers. Ranmaru was already bored of this as it was, and he had a trophy, namely the limb that was partially sealed and wrapped up like a sandwich. Might as well finish the job, which he did as he made his way back toward camp; ripping the cloth used to mummy-wrap the limb off from the rest and making a note to repair the bolt at a later time; likely that night when the voices wouldn't let him sleep.

He landed back in their little camp a few moments later, looking around to see where Kaia had gotten to and if she was any calmer. "Cub-child. Come. I has present." He was... eerily calm now, one of the few times he was 'normal' was right after a hunt, failed or otherwise; so he'd be... really stable and peaceful for the next few hours; until his brain reset and he went back to his normal delightfully insane self.

"Well, that likely scared off most of the game, so we'll need to wait for morning. Let's finish with camp, yeah?"

The Harukage decided that losing his arm was a much better option than losing his life. Were Kaia-Mai any other kind of person? She could have respected him for that. But she wasn't, and she didn't. It was like a deer fleeing in terror, doing everything it could to escape. She sort of expected Ranmaru to keep chasing after him but he didn't, instead he seemed almost like he was bored.

Kaia's general freakout, her mental breakdown, was passing fairly quickly. The Harukage was gone, she doubted he would make it home let alone come back - and even then she wasn't worried because he'd end up bringing backup and given Kaia's sensory she would hear that coming this time around. Ranmaru mentioning having a present for her was what fully snapped her out of the remainder of her freakout, as well as what caused her to deactivate both her Kamui technique as well as her Eternal Mankgekyo Sharingan.

She made her way back to camp, coming to a stop nearby Ranmaru with her head tilted in curiosity to the left. "Present for bunny? Bunny likes presents! What is it?", she asked in her usual whisper-soft voice. She was back to being the calm and quiet "child" she usually was now.

He moved toward his furs and pelts, diving into the pile and settling into them without any effort or hassle, standing up and returning to his usual hunched, bear like stance. He tossed the wrapped arm toward her, knowing she'd catch it without a problem, and returned to his carving, "Flesh of the manling. Might taste good. Use the bones for a necklace." Simple enough, pretty standard from him, too. He was reaching for the little pile of wood he'd saved from the pile of firewood, reaching for his bone knife and going back to making repair parts for his tanning racks; which had managed to escape being damaged by the idiot Kage trying to spawn more forest within the forest. Fresh firewood, and an extra canopy over their heads. Yay.

"Cub-child. Any dinner around?" It wasn't like they didn't have a massive amount of food with them as it was, but he prefered fresh meat for his meals when possible, and while the majority of the larger beasts would be gone, they could possibly find enough smaller beasts, birds, eggs, etc to make a decent stew with; he had raided a village for 'fresh' produce before going to get her, and it would keep forever within one of the myriad of seal scrolls he kept on him, and in inception-level storage, within other scrolls.

He was just about to start carving when his head shot up and he looked around for a moment, that look of utter 'I has idea' on his face. He fixated on a particular rock formation that had been uprooted and moved by the intruders attempts to stop him from eating him; the rocks where large, but seemed to have fairly flat bottoms, and the way they had moved had them forming a natural square bowl of sorts. This gave the psycho one an idea. He shot up entirely and bounded over to it, cackling before he began blasting water from his mouth like a firehose; Archerfish, a pretty standard jutsu for anyone from the water country territory to know. He was washing the dirt and grime of the rocks and letting it overflow so that when he was done there was a large pool of very fresh water filling the basin. Perfect, no having to walk to the nearby streams, nor touching their saved stores now. Excellent.

He trotted back to his work, and settled back into working on it, humming a soft tune in time to his carving.

An arm? Kaia caught it without issue and unwrapped it carefully. For being ripped off it was in otherwise good condition, and filled still with blood as it had had no way of esaping. Blood... why was blood of a arm important? Why was the blood of a Senju's arm important? Why was it important to a Uchiha girl? Senju.. important... to a... Uchiha? Kaia-Mai sat there for a moment while carefully holding the arm so that none of the blood escaped, lost in deep contemplation; so much so that she hardly even blinked when Ranmaru made quick work of making a fresh makeshift bowl of water for them, let alone his question about dinner.

Kaia-Mai would just continue to stare forward in an unresponsive almost cataonic like state, as if looking at something that wasn't there, and in truth she was: her memories were playing themselves like a movie as she searched the knowledge that had once been implanted into her mind. Why was Senju blood important to a Uchiha?

Suddenly she shifted, grinning from ear to ear. "There is a bunny about 30 meters to the north east, a deer about 50 meters to the south. A bird and her eggs are in a tree about fifteen feet to your immediate right; the white and grey colored tree." As Kaia spoke, answering Ranmaru's question as soon as her brain allowed her to, she made quick work of using a syringe from her medical kit which she had wipped out with quickness to drain blood from the arm and store it in several vials. She would continue to repeat this process with a little wicked grin on her face until the arm would yield no more.

"Hehehe... Senju gave up his blood. Senju gave up his blood with a Uchiha around. Heheheehehe... Kaia's gonna get Rinnegan. Yes, yes, yes. Bastard told me about Rinnegan." The bastard she was referring to of course being her biological father. "Much stronger than what I have now. Much stronger eyes. Heheeheheee..." Oh she was overjoyed; actually, that was putting it mildly with the way she was having to restrain herself from bouncing in her spot.

Rinne-wha'? What was a... oh wait. Wait. He knew this. An old legend among his clan, they kept histories and legends in their cloth; tapestries that recorded history beyond history and stories beyond mythos. Stories of the strange ring-eyes that gave abilities on the level of the gods he didn't acknowledge or trust, the power to rule the world or destroy it, depending on whom had them at the time.

Interesting.

"You become god, Cub-child?" He wasn't even close to the right mental set to be able to vocalize his thoughts, beyond what he did say. It was close enough, it was right in the general sense of what the upgraded eyes would give. Very, very interesting.

"Cub-child wishes to leave me, hm? Ring-eyes make Cub-child god-person, hmmm?" His voice was his usual flat monotone, but she would be able to sense that the idea of that made him... unhappy. "What does Cub-child want with Ring-eyes, if not to leave and be god-person?"

Had Kaia's eyes not been covered up with the silky white cloth she would have blinked several times in what would clearly be a startled pay. As it was she simply tilted her head to the side to show her curiosity in all of its splendor. God child? Well, why not? Leaving Ranmaru? Not likely. No, if Kaia did happen across powers like these it would be something she wanted to share - at least with him.

It was clear Ranmaru was... upset... with the idea, but she wouldn't leave him that way for long hopefully. "Leave? No, no. I'll never leave. Never, ever, ever! I want to share with you my Rinnegan if you wish! You could be god-like too! Maybe we could use our powers to bring back the really big predators and prey; like mammoths. Stuff that would be fun and challenging to hunt." A grin spread across her face as she pictured it: she rather enjoyed hunting with Ranmaru, and the more dangerous the prey the more fun it tended to be - especially since Kaia liked a challenge.

She then tilted her head in the other direction, becoming serious once more. "Bunny shall never leave your side, no matter what power the Bunny gets."
