Naruto Jidai Event - Chapter 2 - Kokuryuu Organization - Ame Country

Raijin looked over at Grave before he sighed, “this rain seems to not want to let up… we should split up and look around, see if there’s anything we can do around here.” He said as he looked to a restaurant before he turned around and started walking off before he noticed a flicker of chakra around him and Grave, he turned around and looked at Grave, “Be careful, it seems we’re being watch as well.” Raijin said as he noticed it disappear as well. Turning around he walked off into the village looked around before he noticed the men, women, and children were watching him, staring at him, his armor and gear.

Raijin just smirked as he removed his helmet and looked up into the sky and felt the water drops of the rain dropping onto his face, he smiled as he looked up into the sky before he looked back down and shook his head and hair of the water sticking to it before he turned and looked to notice a restaurant before he nodded and walked over towards it, as soon as he entered the restaurant a voice perked up, “Welcome, how may I help you sir?” A young woman asked, Raijin looked over at her and nodded his head, “I’d like a hot meal and maybe something warm to drink as well, some tea perhaps?” Raijin said, the woman looked at Raijin and nodded with a smile on her face, “Very well sir, what kind of tea would you like?” she asked, Raijin shrugged, “your favorite kind will do.” Raijin replied.

As he sat there drinking the tea, he looked around and wondered where Grave ran off too, he was rather curious as to where he disappeared off too.

Listening to the voice of Raijin talk about the rain not letting up Grave did not really care for the rain it was nice weather for him instead of dealing with the heat of the sun beating down or the wind gusting heavily. Grave turned his attention over to Raijin dusting himself off a bit saying, "Its just rain…if anything it would not be called the Rain Country if it didn't stop raining brother." Grave heard the light whisper coming from Raijin before nodding his head, "I'm not too worried about them but its best to stay on guard either way." Walking towards the village with Raijin the villagers began watching not just Raijin for his gear but paying close attention to Grave's gear. Feeling uneasy about this Grave was unsure as to why they were keeping close watch.

First the weird chakra that Grave was sensing then the people staring at him. It seemed off for a bit but Grave just let it go allowing it to pass. As Raijin walked into the restaurant Grave stayed outside awaiting for Raijin to finish up. Grave leaned against the wall outside listening to the rain drops just hit the ground. But was still feeling unease with the citizens just watching it was like they had hate in their eyes. 'I will not lie about it I would give them the same look if I was a stranger in my village as well. Yet I wonder why we are being watched not just by the citizens.' Sighing lightly Grave awaited for Raijin to finish even though he summoned him to the location it was more of why he didn't grab anything to eat from the house. Grave still thought about how Inshitsu was doing for his mission. Thinking for a moment shaking the negative thoughts from his head, "That boy better not fucking die…" Grave mumbled lightly under his breath.

The woman that was serving Raijin walked over with a bill and he shook his head, “take some tea and maybe some dumplings out to my brother that’s standing outside and I’ll pay for it all, if that’s okay.” Raijin said, the woman nodded and disappeared before she came back and Raijin nodded giving her a nicely sized tip on top of the meal itself. Before long Raijin walked outside with the dumplings and the tea for Grave and he tapped him on the shoulder with the container of dumplings, “for you brother.” Raijin said as he did.

“I thought about what you said and there has to be a reason for it to never let up, anyways that aside, I wonder where else we should head, this village is giving me a bit of a bad vibe as if something big is happening nearby.” Raijin said as he popped his helmet back on before he gave it a quick nod before he turned to look over at Grave now with his helmet on. “So while we didn’t see each other for that long while, how was your “special” training coming?” Raijin asked as he patted his brother on the shoulder now while he looked around at all the villagers still staring at them and he just chuckled a bit to himself.

“I have this uneasy feeling that we’re not wanted within this area, either that or their being a little overly cautious.” Raijin said, before he leaned forward and looked around a little bit, “well, where should we head to now?” Raijin asked looking at Grave, “Anywhere within the country or village you want to check out at all?” he added.

While Raijin stood there awaiting what Grave was to say, there was a heavy and uneasy feeling in the back of his mind, he was very, very unsure about what drew them here, and why they were being watched, but yet it was better to not allow them to see any type or form of weakness at all, hell, Raijin didn’t have many.

Paying no attention and finally having his mind calm relaxing state. Grave turned his attention over slightly from the tap on his shoulder. Noticing it was Raijin with some tea and dumplings. Raising an eyebrow for it all Grave sighed lightly taking it to start eating slowly while drinking the tea. "Thank you." Continuing to finish up the meal Grave heard about what Raijin said for the rain never letting up. Yet to Grave the rain still was a nice touch to it all. But hearing about what Raijin said about getting a bad vibe he was not the only one getting it. Saying with a low tone voice, "Simple…we get somewhere open and we welcome the ones that's been watching us. Seems easy enough if they wanted us dead they would have already attacked us now or before we even entered the village for that matter." Closing his eyes thinking about the training and how things turned out for him, he gave a light blush poking at his chin for a bit. "Um…well the training was good it was the end results that mattered. I mean I did not bring Yin and Yang cause of that reason honestly." Thinking about it even more he had a flash of memory with him and Sakura laying in the bed. Shaking his head for a moment he also had the vision of the Nibi fighting against him for a moment before the seal was about to break.

Grave sighed lightly before making his attention to his brother as he patted his shoulder. With the words echoing into his mind Grave felt the same way nodding to Raijin. As he repeated for where they should go now Grave stepped into the walkway pointing over to the area where hardly anyone was at. "I rather get some answers if anything…It seems off that shinobi are going so…"easy" on us if you get what I'm saying." Grave took his staff from behind him having the latch pop open for the staff to slip into his hands. Grave made sure to keep his hands tightly around the staff just in case. Taking a light step the rings of the staff began to jingle with the movement. IT was his nature to be a priest first but be a shinobi second. 'Sealing demons, sealing spirits what else is there for me to do besides give good fortune.' Shaking his head to the reasons behind it all he just kept walking awaiting for his brother to follow. Though the voice in the back of Grave's head was yelling out to him to stay on guard for those watching. It was off yet Grave did not care about it really as he continued walking.

Looking at his brother he smiled and nodded, “no problem, I knew you needed some grub.” Raijin said as he shrugged his shoulders shaking the water drops off his gear before he nodded, “I agree, let’s go get some answers, it’s about time we figured out what is all going on, I don’t like this ominous feeling, it’s a heavy almost choking feeling, and I want answers as to why about it.” He replied to Grave. Raijin couldn’t help but chuckle at his response about if they wanted them dead they could have, “my trainings paid off well, I wasn’t just sitting around you know.” Raijin added before he looked off into the rain and walked out into the rain behind his brother, “True, but still, why watch us? We’re just travellers, if asked you’re a priest cause you are and I’m a samurai, it should seem like we go along with each other as most priests aren’t trained to fight sometimes, rare as that may be.” He said.

He walked with Grave for a bit before he stopped and looked around before he placed his left hand on the hilt of one of his three swords he carried, his kusinagi replica, was somehow his weapon of choice and he looked at Grave before he looked back out into the rain, “Come, we have some questions and I assume you have some questions for us as well, shinobi of Ame.” Raijin said, his voice calm and relaxed, “let us have a peaceful conversation, hostile intents are not of our visit.” He quickly added looking at where he now sensed the chakra to be.

Raijin stood and noticed their chakra flutter before he smirked as he knew they were surrounded but he fully sheathed his katana back in before he looked at them all, turning his head from the left to the right quickly he glanced at them both before he noticed the captain step forward kneeling, this confused Raijin a bit but it didn’t bother him too much. He then bowed to which Raijin bowed back just shortly before he stood back up at his full height again, “my name is Raijin.” He replied after Hiken finished talking, before he looked over to Grave before he looked back to Hiken, “I noticed most of your men as soon as you guys neared us, but after you started watching I lost your locations so I just figured we were being watched, and I was hungry on top of it all so I decided on getting some grub.” Raijin replied before he looked back to Grave, “Well, shall we find out what we can do to help, and what’s going on?” Raijin said avoiding giving his brother’s name out in case Grave would rather use a different name.

Raijin had a bit of an uneasy feeling about what was to start happening but that didn’t bother Raijin overly too much, but the fact that they were worried about enemies and allies was something that Raijin picked up on something wasn’t going right around the location, “it seems to me… that something bigger is going on.” Raijin said looking over at Grave, starting to walk with the shinobi’s just shortly behind the captain keeping his guard up, at all times, it was a samurai’s moral, the way they were trained, a lot forgot this when they got tougher and failed in the end of their lives from surprise attacks at not paying attention to the finer details.

Keeping a hand on his sword he made sure that at a moment’s notice he could draw it and deal some damage when it came down to it, something was off and Raijin could feel it in his very being, but what it was they were on their way to find out about sooner or later but that he didn’t know and it bothered him a bit just thinking about it. “What do you suppose we’re getting ourselves into this time?” Raijin said looking back at Grave again, wondering what his brother was thinking about.

Standing with his eyes closed with the staff calm within his right hand. The rings rested as he was soon surrounded by the shinobi at that moment. Grave was waiting only to hear the shinobi that were around him finally decide to show themselves hearing the entire story as to why they where watching every second. Grave watched as Raijin had sheathed the katana back in before he glanced at them all, with a slight turn of his head from the left to the right. Grave was carefully watching Raijin as he was confused a bit but not seem to bother him. Watching the shinobi bow before them Grave was shocked for a moment as the person stood back up. Greeting them with their name Grave raised an eye brow. "Hiken…interesting name to call someone, well my name is Grave." With that noted Grave paid more attention to everyone showing up. There wasn't that many people than what Grave thought to himself. Soon after which though the person had explained that they were requested to meet the village leader. Grave lifted and eyebrow curious but worried about this for a moment only to watch two shinobi vanish heading somewhere. Watching carefully Grave noticed he was being scanned of his items though it did not seem like it bothered it.

Grave followed heading towards the administration building as well walking behind the captain of the shinobi. Hearing Raijin say he felt something bigger was going on. Thinking about it with the staff's rings shaking Grave nodded to this as each step was calm. As time passed though Grave's eyes were closed thinking about it for sure but what could it be that made them both worried so much. Sighing as they were coming to the building now Grave took a look at everything but felt something was off as he could sense something was off completely. "Raijin… Its more or less something spiritual is actually bugging me." With that moment Grave looked around for a moment until he was stopped to hear Raijin saying what they had gotten themselves into this time. Thinking about it Grave smiled saying, "Please we get into a lot of shit every time we are hanging around one another. I mean look at it first the creation of the fake suna scroll. Its all messed up if you look at it that way. But hell for once I get to meet another leader which leads me to come up with an idea. If you just play along with me got it?"

Smiling at this Grave nodded at his brother and awaited to meet the leader patient. The one thing that was going on in Grave's mind is how long it would take for this little meeting to end. But it was the fact Grave told his brother that they would not need to fight anymore wars at the same time Grave sought and idea to obtaining more land to help with controlling the nations a bit but if it did not play right it could just be the fact they were walking into a trap. But an offer must be given or at least tried to avoid anymore conflict with one another. Tightly holding on to the staff Grave placed it next to his side with the rings shaking lightly as he stood straight up keeping calm. 'This will be interesting to see how things will turn out for all of us…'

Raijin couldn’t help but laugh at Grave’s response about how they managed to get into shit all the time together, he looked at him and patted him on the shoulder, “yes… yes we do, I just hope this is one of those that I can pull our ass out of.” Raijin said as he looked at him now with a serious look on his face after he heard the fact another leader was mentioned, “you know I’ll back you up brother, when I have I not?” he asked a gain as he sighed.

While they continued to walk for a bit Raijin couldn’t help but feel uneasy about this meeting, there were things that continued to pull at him from every direction that caught his attention, he glanced around and picked up on the gear certain shinobi we’re wearing around them as they made their way towards administration building before he sighed again, “it’s just your imagination…” Raijin thought to himself before he looked back to his brother again, “so much rain.” Raijin murmured to himself as he wondered about why it never stopped, there was a legend behind it, but he didn’t care for the legends, his name was a legend already all in its own.

After a bit Raijin looked over to Hiken, “mind telling me how much further? I’m getting a bit antsy about what’s going on around here.” Raijin asked before he looked to Grave again.
