He said as he saw that the other samurai had jumped to avoid the attack and backflipped to a roof. Hitoribocchi then picked up his kasa hat and made it hang on his back with a string of rope that was on his neck. He then followed his opponent but Hitoribocchi dissapeared. And after a second, he was above his opponent slashing downwards at him with full force. [/B]
Nobutomo struggled to block the attack, if he had seen the entire length of his opponent's jump, he would've blocked his attack with relative ease, but here, he fell to the ground as he blocked the attack, and slid off the rooftop, onto a lower canvas. Now, his opponent's back was to him and he jumped back up to the rooftop, thrusting his sword at his back.
" Hmph... you dodged my Hiten Mitsurugi ryus ryu tsuisen attack... impressive... "
Hitoribocchi said as then seeing another person coming and talking about that they should not fight. He then sees his opponent sheating his sword as another person comes up. Hitoribocchi turns around to him and tells him straightly that its foolishness to point a sword at a person while telling him to stand down, of course Hitoribocchi sheated his black odachi on his back as simply putting on his kasa hat and a string of straw on his mouth. if nobody said anything or did anything, he would just have gone away now but he stood and awaited for something.
" Humph... you dont get it huh... well well, ill tell you exactly what i told that baka! My name is not inportant, and neither is yours, if we just play oure part in this, we could all go safely on the street, i mean, im just a simpel rounin that's walking past this peacefully sity... i just want a place to spend the night in... thats all... " He said with a voice that sounded calm as he saw a woman looking at them from a window, he then started to walk away realy slowly, heading towards an inn...

"You will find it hard to find an inn..." now turning to Akiyama "why did you attack him Akiyama?" he said as he watched Hitoribocchi begin to turn and walk away.
"I did not attack him, I simply drew my swords when I noticed him, as a precaution." Nobutomo said, turning to Jiang.
(I think that sounds fine Ryuushi, no one seems to be playing outside the Shinzi village atm...)

Umi nodded. She looked at Unoku and smiled. "I got a long day ahead of me tomorrow,"She said following Unoku.
Unoku raised a slightly less manicured brow, "What, if you do not mind me asking...do you have planned? Perhaps I could help?"

Tomoko finished eating and looked out the window. A series of flashes of the battles she had been before with the Utenzaki and all the lashes she endured for not killing her opponents when unarmed.- "More war" - she whispered to herself in a sad tone.
Kuro-u was troubled with the sounds coming from the streets, there where terse voises and the sounds of swords. Standing she glanced back at Tomoko and exited her home, sword in hand to rectify the problems at hand.
(ok cool, thanks)
It had been a while now since Sasuke and his father set out to the capital form the fort they were posted in, and they arrived in battle formation.
They were informed of the attack by the Utenzaki clan by a messenger sent during the initial raid, just after the cease fire was made. After theat a messenger was sent to every Inuzaki general outside the capital to defent the homeland.
They had finally arrived at the capital. It was surrounded and the Utenzaki armies wouldhave noticed their arrival. The army was marching in battle formation, 800 soldiers total, with 300 yarimen in the front, 200 horsemen on the left flank, 100 archers in the rear, and 200 swordsmen in the right flank.
out of the mounted soldiers, 50 were equipped with bow, 70 with naginata, and 80 with yari. The horsebowmen were in the front, with mounted naginata men on the left, and mounted spearmen on the right, inbetween the naginata horsemen and the rest of the army.
The army then halted its march, in plain site, and about 200 meters from the utenzaki army, or of what was on that side of the wall. Tanachi's horse then galloped to the front of his army, whare he began his speech.
"As you all know, the cowards of Utenzaki have attacked us without warning, without respect, and without a single understanding of Bushido!!! Prepair yourselves, for such vermin must be eradicated from this earth. We cannot lose to such cowards, and victory will be ours!!!"
This was applauded from the army, and all were prepaired for combat.
[I am going to place myself in a neutral location. Would someone kindly fill me in on the other clans, so far I've only read one name and it seems to be the central focus of the role-play so far. I have been trying to keep up with the posts, but its quite confusing at points. Thank you.]
Kien rested peacefully on his knees. His feet were tucked beneath his posterior in a manner that suggested repetition, and dedication. No sword lie tucked between his obi nor by his side. He had come here for another purpose-solitude, purification. The Takeshi family was a gifted family with the sword. Takeshi, having earned the title of Kensai, was bestowed with great fame of his exploits across Japan. But a growing disillusionment, he fought less and less and faded into history.
An older man of twenty-seven, Kien still brandished a handsome quality. A dark goatee had formed neatly around his mouth, and his raven colored hair had grown wildly, having to be tied up and back; now it fell in a long, flowing cascade behind his head in the form of a ponytail. Shadows crept along the walls adjacent, the flicking flames betraying their dark intentions.
Drawing in a deep breath, he waited. Soon, there came a rough tug to Kien's gi and a hand, as if magically appearing, now gripped the deep v-shape neckline. The other hand of his assailent gripped his thick mane, pulling his head backwards. Kien acknowledged his situation, and allowed his head to slowly tilt. A cool blade, a ninjato, pressed against his smooth skin. The blade razor sharp. Without warning, Kien latched a hold of the attackers hand that gripped his gi. Leaning back, he slipped behind his assailant's limb- locking the joint straight as he did. Pressing a foot to the floor, he rose to one knee and broke the hold the shinobi had on his hair.
Pivoting on his knee, came to face the assassin and placed a hand upon his shoulder blade firmly and lowered him to the hard wooden floor using simple dynamics of gravity and body weight. Still clutching the mans wrist, he jerked it sharply towards the foe's shoulder- snapping the joint. Upon the release of the sword, Kien plunged the steel tip through the shinobi's shoulder blade, pinning him to the surface of the floor.
The few moments it took to subdue one opponent, the second approached him. Still unarmed, Kien stood and turned to face his enemy. The shinobi was as tall as he was. Clad in dark but light material, his face was encompassed by a cloth; all but the eyes were seen. The opponent rose his sword high- a vertical slash downwards. The blade cut the air, but not gracefully. Instantly, Kien grabbed a hold of the ninjato embedded in the first opponent. Thrusting it down and piercing the mans lung he then tore it downwards vertically. The blade cut through flesh and bone with impunity, before simply carving the man in two and letting the blade flow natrually upwards with the momentum.
As the ninja brought his sword down, Kien had already lifted his sword up. The blade connected with what would be the shinobi's cleft of the chin. Flesh parted, giving way to the superiority of the unrelenting blade. Bone was simply no match for the momentum and a clean cut was made straight through. Kien's arm proceed to shift upwards even after he knew the battle had ended. The ninja's sword fell, escaping their master's hands. Torrential rain poured outwards from the ninja's wound. His head cut clean in two.
"It seems no matter where I go, I will always find war." Kien thought to himself. Blood forged rivulets down the heft of the blade where it continued to drizzle to the floor. Letting the sword clatter to the floor of the temple, he stepped past the fallen bodies and towards the entrence. "Somebody sent these assailents to spot me. I shall have to find out who."

Masashige could not bare being a Yari anymore. Now was the time for action. If he was to ever be a Daisho he would have to use this opportunity. Stepping out in front of the army he exclaimed a challenge.
"I am Hasekure Masashige of the Utenzaki. If any Man think himself brave enough to take me on then do so now! I challenge any Samurai to present my head to his Daimyo." Masashige stood waiting for a Samurai to take him up on his provocation. Knowing he could die this day made him proud of his Heritage. He would be Victorious or Die like a Samurai.
