Traveling through the Sound

Hayato had been traveling throughout the lands of the Sound as a Rurouni warrior. The young rogue never originated from a single village location, therefore he would not be known by anyone and seem like a regular kid walking through carrying a samurai sword strapped to his waist. The white headband and his afro blew with the calm wind, everything in this area seemed secluded and peaceful. As he walked he gathered chakra from the nature around him, he had mastered the art of Senjutsu to the point where he could gather the chakra even while moving.

Suddenly the young rogue heard a noise, then without warning he was surrounded by a large group of sound ninja "Well look what we got here boys, an academy student who thinks he's tough enough to walk around all on his own" their leader said with a laugh which spread throughout the crowd of shinobi behind him. "Give me all the money and any weapons you have on you, otherwise you die and we take it anyways" Hayato raised an eyebrow but remained silent as he merely put up a fighting stance. By infusing the surrounding nature chakra in the area with the calcium within his own body, Hayato could now manipulate the growth and properties of his bones to his liking at will. Which he did both rapidly and secretely to increase the density of all the bones in his body as well as any he would produce, making them stronger and more durable than steel. This would not only make any bone created weapons very powerful, but also made his body virtually indestructable.

Without warning, he was then swarmed from all directions by a large group of these people. Hayato ducked under the first punch sent his way and uppercut one man, while airborne from the uppercut he side kicked another shinobi away from him. The young warrior then flipped in the air and kneed another man on top of the skull, then quickly landed on the ground upside-down as he balanced on one hand in order to kick another man in the jaw only to see a kunai being thrown at his head, which was when Hayato quickly hopped to his feet barely avoiding the kunai as it flew directly passed his head then back fisted the man who threw it in the face and broke his nose. Then a man tried to kick Hayato in the ribs, but the swift warrior easily caught the leg of the man and threw him into four other men and made them all fall to the ground as he then summoned 2 exploding shuriken by slightly tapping his wrists them threw them at the men on the ground, causing them all to explode in a blazing inferno.

Their leader then charged and attemped to stab Hayato with a kunai, but the swift warrior quickly punched upward on the leader's elbow and broke his arm. Before even giving this man a chance to scream out in pain, Hayato punched him in the stomach twice which lifted the man 3 feet in the air, which was when he kicked the man in the jaw which lifted him up even higher and as he came falling towards the ground, Hayato then used the Hydration Technique in the muscles of his arm caused it to become enlarged and strengthened then punched the man's body with full force and sent him flying directly into his followers at a very high speed. Hayato's arm then quickly returned to normal.

The skilled warrior charged the remaining men and drew his sword and phased out of sight, he then began to hack and slash away at all the foolish sound shinobi whom had challenged him. Dismembering limbs at warp-like speed, many were sliced in half but didn't even know what hit them, they slowly looked at eachother until they all notice that the other half of their body weren't even attached to them. Hayato continued this onslaught, painting the area around him red with the blood of these foolish sound ninja. "What the hell!? No normal kid could move that fast!" were the last words one of the final man uttered as Hayato charged at full speed and with quick flicker-like motions chopped all the remaining men surrounding him into pieces while using his flexible and acrobatic skills by doing what would look like a mixture of Capoeira and Wushu swordsmanship. By doing a mixture of flips, kicks and slashes from the sword in less than 15 seconds without even breaking a sweat or uttering a single word he managed to slaughter these foolish shinobi who dared to challenge him.

The swift rogue shinobi then placed his sword in the sheath to his side in a samurai motion, but could tell there was another person behind him who had just seen the whole thing which had just occured. It would be obvious that his actions were in self defense, however he had just killed many of these men in cold blood. Hayato slightly turned his head to the side in order to see who it was watching him, however he kept his arms remaining at his sides at the ready, both fists easily capible of becoming lethal weapons at any instant. His legs were spread ready to jump or dodge at any moment if needed, however he left a calm exposure on his overall appearance.

Jishaku had been investigating the recent murders around the Sound/ Konoha borders. He knew that this was a tense time, but he wanted to see if this was just mere bandits or if it was something else. Jishaku and been in the Land of Sound before on many occasions and always had some sort of trouble on his way. This time was no different.

Jishaku had his hood and mask on like always; when twenty sound shinobi surrounded him. He was in between two villages and he knew that this road was dangerous; however, Jishaku knew that their wasn't anyone yet to defeat his ultimate defense/offense technique. As the sound ninja surrounded him, the snickered and said, "Your not from around here are you? No Body goes down this road unless they are stupid or from a different country. You must be both." Jishaku smiled from under his hood, "I am sorry fellas, but what would that make you?" The tone of the Sound ninja changed. They got angry fast, as most sound ninja do. Jishaku felt them run towards him, but Jishaku remained still. He then said, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." The sound ninja ignored Jishaku's warning. He smiled and said, "Well I guess I will do this the easy way then." Jishaku then launched one hundred steel needles from the seals on his body. Everyone fell to the ground dead save one. He then re-sealed his steel sand and went over to the only man still alive and knelt down beside him. The man had a look of fear on his face, "Your... Your that guy! The Sannin of the Steel Sand." Jishaku said to the man, "I told you not to attack." Jishaku then got up and left the man alive, but he would die soon enough.

Jishaku then continued to the next village. As he arrived, he saw what looked like a young man with an afro. He realized this 'boy' was not of this country like himself. He also saw the boy defend himself from the attacking shinobi. "This isn't a kid that is for sure. Hm... I wonder." After the fight, Jishaku came out of the shadows and walked towards the boy with his head canted towards the ground. He stopped several yards from Hayato. "That man was right. Your no kid. Are you?" Jishaku spoke in a pleasant tone but didn't take off his hood due to how dangerous it would be to reveal his identity in the midst of such a country. He then spoke and said, "I am Jishaku. What is your name?"

Hayato turned to face a hooded man who spoke to him, he seemed to be friendly and not of these lands as his attire was much different. "That man was right. Your no kid. Are you?" the stranger asked in a pleasant tone. Hayato merely smirked at this remark because it was true, his learning of Senjutsu at an early age mixed with his bone manipulation and caused a growth delay. The man then spoke again and said, "I am Jishaku. What is your name?"

"I am Hayato, I am a Rogue Shinobi. I have just traveled here from Konoha after killing a rather large and dark man whom carried a scythe" Hayato was unknowingly describing the tyrant Hokage whom he had just killed before crossing over the border of the two lands into the outskirts of the sound village.

Jishaku looked up at the 'boy' with a surprised look on his face. He then said, "I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I am also known as the Sannin of the Steel sand. That man you killed was the Tyrant Hokage. He killed my sense and the previous Hokage. I guess you did me a favor and for that I thank you. We should get out of here. Attracting attention isn't exactly a good thing." Jishaku then walked up to the 'boy' and said again, "Come on. Lets get in doors. I will show you my face once we are in a more secure location. I dont want the Kage of these evil lands learning of my being here." Jishaku started towards a Tavern near by.

Hayato simply nodded and followed the man in the Tavern, however it wasn't what he had expected. There were women dancing around as men were throwing money at them. There was a bar and people drinking as they sat on stools. One man walked up to the two and appeared to be drunk "Hey kid, minors aren't allowed in here. Get the hell out of here, it's probably your bed time anyways" the drunken man then directed his attention towards Jishaku as Hayato made a single hand seal "And you hoodie, why the hell you hiding your face? Are you THAT ugly or somethin?" the man then hickuped then fell back passed out from drinking too much, or so this appeared as the man had really fainted from fear.

Hayato had placed the man in a Genjutsu then simply walked around the passed out man and sat down on the couch in the back area "Sometimes my growth delay really ticks me off, I geuss I can't complain though because it makes me look harmless" Hayato said in a calm monotone voice to the hooded man.

Genjutsu:

Jishaku smiled and chuckled to himself. He looked at the man who was passed out and looked back at Hayato, "Kenjutsu and Genjutsu... Impressive." Jishaku started up a set of stares that led to the second floor. When he was up their, it was a lot more quiet. Jishaku sat down at a table in the corner and took off his hood and mask. He looked at Hayato and said, "Now we can talk a little more freely. So what is a rouge like you doing in the Land of Sound?"

Hayato kept a blank, yet calm expression on his face as he spoke "I am a Rurouni warrior whom has traveled the world. The Land of Sound just happened to be the closest place from Konoha" as they were speaking a woman walked by and poured them each a cup of tea and the young warrior took a sip then began to talk once again "I am a Sage actually, I was trained by a man known as Kento Uchiha... but he died many years ago"

Jishaku looked as the boy was poured some tea. He looked at the pretty woman and starred at her figure. He smiled and winked at her as she walked away with a smile. Jishaku sipped his tea and said, "Hm... I remember my Sensei talking about him. He was a strong warrior as I recall." Jishaku then propped his feet up on a chair next to him and relaxed. He looked at Jishaku and said, "So a Rurouni warrior huh? I have read about them, but never met one. Senjutsu is supposed to be hard to master. You must be a very powerful warrior to have mastered such a technique. Why master it though? What goal do you have in order for senjutsu to be required?

Hayato looked up at Jishaku as he took another sip of tea and listened to the man's questions. He was quite curious for someone known as a Sannin, however the fact that his old Sensei would know about his Uchiha Master peaked his interest.

"The toad sages put me through rigorous training sessions on a daily basis for three years I spent on Mount Myōboku, but my Master Kento provided me with notes written by Sages in the past who died in the last great war. I was also placed in Tsukuyomi on a daily basis which altered reality and enabled me to learn Senjutsu without any risks. I was educated about Senjutsu when I first learned about chakra at an early age, I didn't really have a purpose of learning it, I just knew about it and wanted to learn how to fully harness it." Hayato explained to the curious Sannin "I have just become a wanderer because I don't agree with villages, I recognize and detests the absurdities of the society. I would rather follow my own Revolutionary Socialism.

Jishaku listened to the boy. He chuckled to himself after the boy got done. "So your telling me you just 'stumbled' on to senjutsu? Hm, your one lucky guy." Jishaku then saw a few men enter the building from below. They looked like an investigation squad. Jishaku then shook his head, "Well I don't agree with many of the villages either, but I do believe in doing something about it. I want to do something about the hate in this world. I do realize that it wont completely go away, but if it were to be lessened. Then that would be preferable to constant war and bloodshed." Jishaku then saw one of the men walk up stares. Jishaku quickly put on his hood and mask and said, "Well Hayato, I guess our break is over." Jishaku then saw the man walk up to them and say, "You two look like the ones we are looking for. You two kill a lot of people today. Good men too. How about we take this outside." Jishaku chuckled and said, "I am not so sure you want to do that. The only reason you know anything at all is because I let that man live. Be care as to you don't make the same mistake your friends did." The sound shinobi then got angry and charged at Jishaku. Jishaku then lifted up his arm and made a pushing motion. All of a sudden the man went flying through the wall into the street outside. "These guys dont take hints very well do they?"

Hayato sat at the table as he talked with his new friend Jishaku. Suddenly they were more sound ninja approaching the table who came up the stairs "You two look like the ones we are looking for. You two kill a lot of people today. Good men too. How about we take this outside."

Hayato then immediately began to gather Senjutsu chakra. By infusing the surrounding nature chakra in the area with the calcium within his own body, Hayato could now manipulate the growth and properties of his bones to his liking at will. Which he did both rapidly and secretely to increase the density of all the bones in his body as well as any he would produce, making them stronger and more durable than steel. This would not only make any bone created weapons very powerful, but also made his body virtually indestructable.

Jishaku then pushed a sound shinobi through the wall of the 2nd floor into the streets. "These guys dont take hints very well do they?" Hayato took a sip of his tea as he hopped out of his seet, then charged the men and uppercut one and caused bone blades to extend from his forearms. Each blade span was approximately four feet and was sent through the man's brain. Hayato then ripped it through his face then began to battle on the spot in a breakdanceing type of motion. By using his highly advanced speed and his mastery of Taijutsu he was able to slaughter all of the sound shinobi surrounding him as afew of them charged the Sannin.

Jishaku used his magnetism to levitate down to the ground outside. He looked as his new friend Hayato had started his bloody counter attack. He then looked as sever Anbu sound ninja surrounded him. Jishaku shook his head and said, "You guys just don't get it do you. Their could be thousands of you guys and it still wouldn't make a difference. 'Why' do you ask?" Jishaku then unsealed 2 of his tattoos. As he did the steel sand came pouring out. One was unsealed from his hand where all could see. The other, however, was unsealed from his foot and funneled underground. He then said, "Because I have the ultimate defense. Better than that of even the legendary Gaara of the sand." As the sand that was released from his hand circled around him to defend him; the other sand was laying just beneath the ground waiting for Jishaku's command. The Anbu Sound ninja continued at Jishaku, not even listening to his warnings. "You are fools!" Jishaku shouted as he made his underground sand rise and burst from the soil. It ensnared ever ninja in the area, including several that were near Hayato. He then raised his hands parallel to the ground and at the two groups of attacking shinobi. As his sand sucked their chakra out of their bodies he said, "I told you. I warned you, but you guys need a demonstration I guess. This is why I am called the Sannin of the Steel Sand." Jishaku then clenched his hands together and said, "SAND BURIAL!" The steel sand started to leek out blood and paint the area red. He looked as all the sound ninja hand been taken care of. He looked at Hayato and said, "Well that was a good warm up." Jishaku chuckled to himself for a second. He then used his sand to bury the bodies under the earth where they would not be noticed. He then said to Hayato, "If you are ever in Konoha again... Look me up. I am sorry but I have some other business to attend to."

Spoiler:

Hayato retracted the bone spikes back into his arms as he watched what this man could really do, Jishaku unleashed a furious attack using some sort of powerful sand. Soon the remaining Sound Ninja were all killed, there were no witnesses left "If you are ever in Konoha again... Look me up. I am sorry but I have some other business to attend to."

Hayato looked at the man and shrugged "I was hoping for more of a challenge from these men, but I geuss these wound ninja are kinda weak."

Jishaku looked at Hayato and said, "I really didn't. Sound ninja are pushovers for the most part. Very few are actually worth fighting. I must get back to Konoha. I have a student to train. You can tag along if you would like."

Hayato shrugged "Nah, i'm fine. I must be on my way myself" he said as he then began to walk away into the distance as he left behind a small sound of a gust of wind the moment he flicered away
