He's supposed to be dead! Oni's clown arrives.

(I am making this to promote activity since it seems were gathering moss...)

He steps from the boat, a girl following him down the ramp. The boat wore sails of an unknown origin. He stepped off the wooden dock the that was located outside the forest that housed the village Shrouded in Poison. He looked around the area; familiar lands. It had been so long. His eyes were a bright sapphire, that showed his Uchiha lineage.

The sky was rather cloudless that day, an odd occurrence geologically. The shores were covered in a black sand and emitted heat back up at the sky above.

The man's trademark purple hair glared as the sun reflected off of his hair. The female behind him held a map in her hands and continuously looked from the map to the area they had entered, "Judging by the map.... and these bamboo trees..." She said. "Were near The Continent of Dark and Light's Poison Village..." The male finished. She looked up at him, seeing the symbol on the back of his shirt that read 'Yondaime Onikage'. "Correct, Onikage-Sama" She said confirming his statement. He nodded, another trademark of his on his face; a wide grin that expressed his genuine happy persona.

He spoke in his calm voice, "Were almost home..." He said, a sense of confidence present in his voice. He continued talking, "Onigakure was on neutral terms with Onigakure before the islands... we should go there. Supplies, and perhaps contact Onigakure." He paused, "Son... Big brother.... Sensei... I'm coming..." He said, unaware of the events that had happened in his absence. So Uchiha Mazuku stepped forward, one step closer to his home, to the war he had been taken from. He could see the Poison village's chakra field. After passing it the village would know someone was approaching. He turned and looked at the girl, the field right in front of him, "Chiri... Stay with the boat... if 'they' come contact me via radio." The girl nodded and turned back towards the boat.

Mazuku stepped forward, entering the field.

[Rinko]

Ryuu sat quietly, perched atop a small hut, the wind slightly ruffling her hair. Her grey eyes stared dully at the ground below, as she was waiting for Onikaru-san. She sighed, not upset, just content at her solitary state. The birds chirped happily from the trees, providing some mild discomfort for Ryuu. She wasn't in the cheery mood.

Rinko lie in a grassy field, the sun shining pleasantly on her face. She'd been wandering for hours and was now able to relax. Her only source of discomfort was her waits-length braid of navy blue hair beneath her. She was simply too lazy to move it. She opened her eyes to hear the birds chirping about a newcomer who had the smell of this place. She sat up and arched her back.

[Moongem]

The young boy's foot landed gently on a tree branch, he looked up, something was wrong. Out of place. He looked around, what was it? He suddenly felt a deep anger in the bottom of his stomach. He grinned, feeding on this anger he felt, he could tell it was a person, a familiar one at that. His ebony black hair feel in front of his face as he stood straight. He moved his hand up to his radio collar, he pressed the button, "Everyone... we have company. Sensei... I think its someone rather strong." He said slowly, in his hollow voice.

The purple haired man ran on the jungle floor, he moved with a kind of clumsy grace that was once again a kind of trademark for him. He could see multiple chakra formations in and near poison village, one a deep black, "O-Onikaru?" He muttered as he leaped over a log. It sure seemed to be his sons chakra, but deeper, stronger, and frighteningly darker. It had Akuma's taint as well as Katsmaru's. He looked puzzled as he dashes towards the village as he noticed, although there were multiple chakra's. there were hardly enough for a village. He looked back at his sensei, Tenchu of Onigakure's, old katana which was strapped around his waist. He then looked ahead, wondering what had happened.

[Rinko]

Ryuu jumped a little when she heard his voice on the collar. Her heart was pounding-- it was so quiet until that point. She pressed the button, and said, "Roger that." She decided it would be best to hold her current position until she was needed. That and she had no idea where the others were. She didn't want to call in and bother them, due to her slight inferiority complex. She sighed, and stood up, scanning the horizon, her eyes settling on the powerful stream of chakra that Onikaru must have been talking about.

Rinko noticed something pretty powerful coming near her, and rather quickly. She sat up, hoping it wasn't an enemy. The birds, at least the older ones, were chirping about.. an old leader? Rinko shook her head. "Ah, baka-birds. He's dead." She looked forlornly towards the specific direction, sighing a little. She moved her navy blue hair out of her bright purple eyes to see better. She hated her hair in her face, but it had to be there.

[seltor]

After his brief encounter with Mazuku, the former Onikage that he had followed him, like a dog, tight to his heels, by orders of Hebimaru, learning, acquiring knowledge about Onikaru's father, to know everything possible and stay as much as humanly possible in the shadows. Mazuku couldn't know he was being watched, because Hebimaru couldn't afford to have his plans found out by the worst enemy he could gain.

Hence, Kazuki had landed on the Continent of Dark and Light just as his new companion did, his powerful muscular body and uncontrolled chakra would quickly denounce him to either Mazuki and the distant village's occupants, inhabitants he very well knew, even if the opposite were false. He sped up to reach Mazuku before he could enter the Hidden Poison Village, finding him on top of a log. "Mazuku-sama, I am here, don't enter this village without me" he greeted him, as his Sharakugan scanned the city, seeing more chakra sources than before he had left.

Someone new was there, someone he didn't knew but possibly wouldn't provide any danger to his cover. "Onikaru, unfortunately I cannot show up to meet whoever is coming, my sleeper agent is with him, and I cannot destroy his cover by showing up. Try to control the situation and don't reveal you know Kazuki, if things go out of hand, I'll show up to grant you my powers. Good luck" Onikaru heard from his headset, whispered by his sensei, Hebimaru himself, hoping that his student would understand his reasons.

[Moongem]

Onikaru nodded his head, understanding perfectly. He leaped from the tree branch, anxious to find the source of this familiar presence. He landed on the forest floor, his feet padding softly on the dirt below. He began forward, his overall dark character bustling forwards as he approached the presence. His hands became clammy, his skin paler, and his head having a loose sweat on it. Who could it be? To make him react this way before even seeing him? It must have been a ghost, the image of his former friend danced through his head and hatred set in. He burst into a clearing, seeing two people, one was obviously Kazuki, his large body hard to mistake. Suddenly that light sweat turned to a flop sweat. His eyes widened as his eyes locked onto the familiar purple hair and the words written down the back of the man's shirt, "Yondaime.... Onikage?" He said with plenty of studders.

Mazuku lifted his head as Kazuki approached him, his trademark smile present still. He tucked his arms behind his head and tilted his head, "Feel free Kazuki. I cou-" He stopped as he heard a familiar voice mutter his village title. He turned around quickly, that voice was unmistakeably his sons, it was a parents job to know. He stared at the being in front of him, ignoring the dark core of their chakra and looking simply at them, "O-Onikaru?" He said lifting his hands and stepping towards him, "Son?" He said again as he moved faster towards him. He reached his child and nearly became overcome as he touched his child's face, "It is you... I found you...." He smiled, his wide grin holding back what would undoubtedly be tears of joy as he was reunited with his son.

Onikaru held still as his cheek was touched by the man who called him 'son'. What kind of joke was this? Akuma killed him! How was he here? Its Impossible! He stood in a kind of shook as the purple haired one talked.

[Rinko]

Ryuu was being driven mad, so she hopped off of the building and sprinted towards the stream of chakra, that was now joined my Onikaru's. "What's going on? Why are they just standing there?" She thought lightly, ans she made her way to the forest. The trees were now thinning ,and she noticed three figures, but felt a third nearby (which was Rinko). Ryuu stopped, and noted that the man was touching Onikaru's cheek. He also had... Could it be?! She stopped about ten feet from the two, staring at Mazuku in shock. She didn't dare approach the two.

The birds and other creatures were making such a loud ruckus that Rinko was getting a headache. Irritated, she sat up, but froze. Through the trees she saw... Three? No, four. Four figures. She quietly moved closer, making sure to have her bangs in her face. One she was close enough, and fully ignoring the flurry of animal voices, she saw for herself. The purple hair! She stumbled forwards, making herself know, but she quickly sank to her knees. Despite being from very far away, she knew who that man was. She bowed her head as a means to show she wasn't a threat. The birds were now quieter.

[seltor]

Kazuki's first stage of approach had been a success again, Mazuku allowed his company still unsuspecting that he was working for the enemy, he had played his cards well fortunately. Mazuku was about to what apparently was a greeting when he suddenly stopped. Both men heard a whispered sentence and as Mazuku turned to see who had spoken he saw his son, and so did Kazuki as his eyes spotted Hebimaru's-sama pupil, Uchiha Onikaru, the darkest Uchiha to ever live.

His reactions were none to this appearance, he had a cover to protect so he reacted as if he didn't knew him at all. "Who are you?..." he would start to ask until Mazuku ran in the direction of his child and touched him. Onikaru reacted with surprise and shock and even Kazuki was a bit puzzled, he didn't knew Onikaru's background, that information was barred from him and he would have to watch as the situation progressed.

[Moongem]

Mazuku stared at his son, who seemed to be in a state of shock and disbelief, Mazuku say this as a normal action to his sudden return and grinned his symbolic grin, "Surprised? To see me son?" His purple hair moved as he placed his hand Onikaru's head, matting his silky black hair. Mazuku's look of pure joy shifted as he tilted his head, "But... why aren't you in Onigakure? By right of transit... you should be the next Onikage." He smiled and shut his eyes, "After all, your uncle wouldn't be caught dead as Onikage." He moved his head quickly, a suddenly intense look on his face as he sensed movement. A girl had fallen to her knees behind them and had proceeded to bowing her head. Mazuku stood straight, taking his hand off his son and looking at the girl, "Who... are you?" He asked looking at her questioningly. His Sharakugan had seen her a while ago, but he was still curious, even more about the girl who hadn't shown herself yet.

Onikaru's eyes locked on his father's Sharakugan, that was him! Uchiha Mazuku! His hand trembled with a hate he held for his father, even though he didn't know the origins of this hate, he had never questioned it. Perhaps it was his always happy attitude paired with that idiotic way of thinking. He wanted to summon his scythe and dig into the being who truly appeared to be his father. He thought to his teachings from Hebimaru, this was a brilliant opportunity. He hadn't known what Onikaru did or what had happened back in Onigakure. His father could easily be persuaded to their side. Onikaru flashed an dark grin, as long as Mazuku didn't met his brother... he could be a puppet. He thought, 'Hebimaru-sensei will love this, he will be a great and rather powerful pawn! He even seems to have allies.' He said looking at Kazuki, who was drenched in Hebimaru's chakra, 'has Sensei planned this? What is he doing with him?' He broke his trail of thought as Mazuku spoke to him, he was about to answer when Mazuku turned abruptly. Onikaru looked past him. A girl? How had he missed her? Had Mazuku's arrival distracted him that much? He looked at her, ignoring Kazuki and waiting for her to answer Mazuku's question.

[Rinko]

Rinko froze. All eyes were on her, or at least she felt that way. She lifted her head, her eyes shielded by her bangs. "Yamochi Rinko, sir. I was just.. passing through, and.." She didn't know how to go on. there was too many people. Instead of speaking, she just sat in silence. Awkwardly, she reached up and scratches her head.

Ryuu stood still, her thoughts racing. She felt such powerful hate coming from Onikaru.. Why? She stood and stared at everyone. The girl, Onikaru, Mazuku's follower.. everyone. 'What should I do!?' she thought rather violently. 'Should I just stand here!?' She shook her head, and emerged from the trees, and stood behind Onikaru, still looking at everyone nervously.

[seltor]

People kept coming from every direction, two girls emerged from the woods, one announced herself as Yamochi Rinko, just to sat down on the grass and scratch her head with an absent look on her face, the other stood beneath Onikaru, a sign of her allegiance. But Kazuki didn't knew her, perhaps a late addition to Hebimaru's team or someone of Onikaru's past that finally found him.

He stared at this one, piercing her with his Sharakugan, as if he was trying to read her thoughts and memories, something he couldn't, but he wished he could. He shrugged his massive shoulders as he waited, as he pondered on what was going to happen. The forest was weirdly silent, as if it was anticipating an huge turn of events, as if something really important was about to happen, and even the trees were eager to know it, to watch if unfold.

[Moongem]

Onikaru smiled with a look of utmost sincerity and innocence, "F-father" He said roughly, "I need to introduce you to someone, the one who saved me from..." He stopped and looked down, He was grinning on the inside, acting so weak to turn his father into a puppet was a joy he never thought he would be able to feel, "Well, I can explain once were in his presence..." Onikaru was oddly very convincing in this ploy, this show of fake of emotions, "You probably won't believe me at first..." Onikaru laughed hysterically inside his head, this was all so convenient, maybe destiny did exist. The darkness in Onikaru began to feel restless, feeling the other half of its power so close. Mazuku.

Mazuku nodded quickly as she recited her name and focused on his son again, his fatherly instincts grasping over him, "If you were saved then you were in danger... and the fact that your no longer in Onigakure... could it have been a traitor?" He asked his child he didn't answer but only turned around. Mazuku was confused and had slight glimpse of worry present on him, Onikaru was the only thing that would show worry on his face.

Onikaru grinned as he turned around, no longer able to hold it back. It seemed 'father' hadn't noticed it. He spoke after inhaling, "All of you..." He looked to where Ryuu had concealed herself, "This isn't a place for something like this to happen. Lets go back to the village, Father, father's muscle. Please come with me. I'll introduce you to Hebimaru-sama." He began to walk towards the large chakra pool north of them.

[Rinko]

Rinko sighed, well aware of the tension. This obviously wasn't a good place to be. Something was going to go down, she was sure of it. A huge battle, be it with words, or fighting. She rose off of her knees, and bowed respectfully to the 4th Onikage, and mumbled, "I must take my leave," and quickly took off, into the trees, the deeper forest. she had to get away from the tension; it was so thick it was almost visible. ((EXIT RINKO))

Ryuu glanced at the big man standing beside Mazaku. He was.. examining her. But why? She was beginning to feel a little uneasy. The other girl had left. 'Seems as though she knows what's going to happen.. Either way, her idea was probably the best,' Ryuu thought. Her gray eyes scanned the clearing once again., passing over Kazuki, feeling that similar uneasiness. She heard Onikaru's voice, the one thing that brought her to the present. He was telling them to head back. She could have kicked herself for not paying attention, and followed Onikaru with a resigned sigh.

[seltor]

Was Onikaru playing with Mazuku, or was his emotions genuine? Even Kazuki began to wonder about this questions, while at the same time he observed the girl that still remained with them. Again, it seemed she was tied with Onikaru, but to what extent? A servant? A Companion? Was Hebimaru aware of their presence? Lots of questions that had no answer to the massive man known with the codename Kazuki. The Might of God could simply wait and comply, his cover couldn't blown, he was still needed for the time being, Mazuku was still oblivious to Hebimaru's presence and how he was playing chess, they were the pieces and the board, the entire world.

For the time being, he would simply follow Uchiha Mazuku and act as his bodyguard.
