Test Drive

Okay everyone, it's time to test some people out! The rules of the game are simple. You have a character you would like to try out as a native to the setting of this game. You want to see if this is the right setting to play said character in, right? Well, then all you have to do is drop them into this post as a top level comment with this as the header: Character name | Series (OC's just put Original here) | Planned Village Affiliation Then you comment around and play with everyone else! If you need some ideas on how to get started, you can drop your character in during the middle of a mission, have them at an eatery around their village, or maybe even just doing weapons practice. It's up to you how you want to set out, so feel free to put your characters in this version of the Naruto universe however it most seems appropriate. Just be sure to say where you put them somewhere in your post though, otherwise two people might not even be threading in the same country. One last thing! Remember that your character was born in this universe, so whatever else you decide, your character is a world native, even if they might be a tourist in the village you decided to test them out on. And that's it. Just be good to each other and have fun! Threads you do here can count toward future activity checks, so long as the person you're threading with gets in too. These threads can also be used for samples on your application.

So much for this recon mission, not exactly what he had in mind. But if she wanted a fight, then who was he to stop her? If she really didn't know who he was, then he was quite fine with dispatching of her as quick as possible. Or he could have a little fun, that was certainly an option as well.

A light smirk played on his lips as he kept watch on the area around him, still remaining where he was.

"If you are so intent on fighting me, then why not do so out in the open? You cannot hide and neither can I, an even match." The amusement in his tone was far too easy to pick up on, the whole recon thing having been boring for him in the first place. May as well see what kind of shinobi Konoha was breeding this time.

[abileunaspada]

Careful to keep moving, she kept trying to search for anything out of place in the foliage as she spoke, "I don't want to fight you. I said I'd have no choice if you're going to be a threat."

Even if a part of her was starting to become more curious, she knew that part was dangerous and shouldn't be heeded at the moment. Not when she was dealing with an unknown threat. Retreating wasn't an option then and there though, not when she was unsure of a secure route... She had to figure out just what she was going to do about this.

[broken_tool]

With a soft sigh he merely leans back against the tree, one hand holding tight to a senbon just in case she tried to do something brash and stupid. He didn't want to end up in a life or death fight if he could help it, there was no point to it and would only end with Kiri or Konoha at the other's throat.

"It was a recon mission, but those can be so boring, do you not think? I would much rather be testing my skills against someone else than doing recon on an area we already know."

Which was the pure and simple truth of the matter, though whether she believed him or not was still to be seen.

[abileunaspada]

It was strange to listen to the other person like this, with them both hidden in the trees and waiting for the opponent to make a move. She was holding tight to the hilt of her katana, frowning thoughtfully as she absorbed the words and watched for him. At last she stilled in the trees, sparing her reflection in the metal a brief glance before she answered.

"It's good to test against someone you've never fought before, but there's no way of knowing that I won't just go through with the kill given the chance, or that you'll do the same to me."

[broken_tool]

Strange, but certainly not unheard of. Haku couldn't help himself but roll his eyes at her presumptions, removing himself from the tree finally with no more than a soft sound as he landed. He was used to moving like this, to being as quiet as possible. The senbon was placed back into its holding spot before he raised both hands, showing nothing in them.

"That is merely a chance that has to be taken, no? But I certainly have no reason to kill you in that situation, it would start an international incident that I would rather not be the instigator of."

[abileunaspada]

"You're thinking too much if you seriously think that it would cause an international incident," She sighed, shaking her head before she let go of her sword at the sound, glancing at Haku as she revealed herself and did the same. Wait, was this a kid? A girl?

... She was really pretty... But that was a Kiri headband, and what little knowledge she had told her that the 'girl's' appearance shouldn't be something that factored into how strong they were.

"There's a clearing about a hundred yards north of here, if you're serious about this."

[broken_tool]

"Konoha has done sillier things," he replied as she made herself seen, looking her over as thoroughly as he could. Curious, this one seemed rather young, probably not any older than himself, if that much.

With a light smile he nodded, demeanor changing from the attitude he'd put up earlier. Kiri may have been one of the more bloodthirsty villages, but it didn't mean he had to be at every moment of the day.

"Absolutely serious. Lead the way, if you will?" Even if that probably came across as a bad idea, all weaponry was stowed away, just to try and make things seem a little safer. This was far more amusing than his mission and would test his mettle.

[abileunaspada]

If she wasn't careful, she was going to end up jealous of how this ninja looked... But she shook it off, pausing at the dubious offer before she nodded, "All right."

Even if this person tried to attack her back, she'd be ready for it. Whoever it was wouldn't get past her shield that easily, definitely not from a sneak attack.

[broken_tool]

Lucky for her that he wasn't planning on attacking her from behind, wanting this fight to be as even as possible. Or, well, as even as things could be around him, he didn't tend to find many people on his level when it came to his kekkei genkai abilities.

Following behind her he couldn't help but take up humming a soft song, hands hidden in the sleeves of his undershirt. For whatever reason, he was happy to have something else to do, even if it was a Konoha shinobi and he was pretty sure there wouldn't be much of a match to be seen.

[abileunaspada]

It didn't take long for them to reach the clearing she was speaking off, and the instant she reached the other side she turned to face Haku, looking over him appraisingly as she relaxed into stance, "Ready?"

Whoever this girl was... She probably wasn't expecting someone from Konoha to have that particular bloodline. Maybe it'd be a surprise she'd bring out, depending on how hard the Kiri nin pushed her. It was weird, but she didn't feel particularly threatened. Her opponent was strong, but at the same time it felt like she could believe that her life wasn't in danger.

Believing in instinct like that was stupid, though. She'd have to be careful if she valued her skin, and she'd have to assume that her opponent felt the same.

[broken_tool]

A slow smirk pulled at his lips as she moved into stance, his own posture relaxing from the stiff and straight posture he'd had previously. One hand slid into one of his sleeves, grasping at something as he took in what he could tell of the girl. She seemed simple enough to read, simple enough to figure out the moves of. She didn't seem too terribly special to him, nothing that he was particularly threatened by.

"Ready." The word passed his lips quickly as he moved from his standing spot towards her with quite incredible speed for most shinobi, hand moving from his sleeve to throw a couple of senbon in her direction, aiming for the spot nearest her navel, wanting to disrupt that chakra point and therefore the path of the chakra entirely.

He wasn't even using his abilities to their fullest yet, wanting to feel out just how much to use against this girl. She could prove to be a challenge if he wasn't careful, who knew how Konoha was, it could all depend on the particular person.

[abileunaspada]

She could feel the wooden projectiles breathing past her skin as she narrowly dodged them, unsure of whether or not to smile or frown at the expertise. Either this person was trying to disable or kill her, though she hadn't thought Senbon would be the weapon to do so with. This just got even more interesting.

She was quick to whip out several shuriken to throw towards him, attempting to keep him moving as she worked on unsheathing her sword entirely. From the type of weapon they used, it seemed like the other wouldn't be good for close-range weapons. That would be her chance for ending it, but part of her doubted that it would be as simple as that.

[broken_tool]

Lucky for her that it was the truth, taijutsu was never his forte but he knew enough to get by with. As long as he kept his opponent at a distance, then everything would be perfectly fine. He couldn't help a small smile as she dodged his senbon, figuring that this girl was going to be more of a fight than he'd first thought. Good, that meant this fight wouldn't end up being boring and a waste of his time.

Backing away from her he decided that he may as well try and see what he could get away with. Keeping his distance he watched her carefully, ready to get a hand seal out there if she decided to provoke up at a close distance. It wouldn't be the first and simply not the last time he'd dealt with a close-range opponent.

[abileunaspada]

She was intent on not letting him get away, stopping with the projectiles and instead darting forward. And, while her sword was held firm in her right hand, she started forming seals with her left - something Haku was likely to recognize as a danger. In fact, it would be his only warning before an earth pillar shot up from the ground directly behind him with the intent of stopping his retreat in its tracks.

She wasn't going to let him get away, not when she wanted to test close range against him. It might be risky to do a one handed seal like that, considering that she didn't know if her opponent would recognize it for what it was or not. She'd find out in a couple of seconds...
