Koga Kusanagi's Story

Koga

Koga wiped his forehead free of sweat as he dipped a newly made katana into water. A hiss was produced when the hot metal entered the liquid, and he slowly took it out to examine his work. He observed it cautiously, until a large broad hand was randomly patting his green hair.

"Good job Otouto!" A loud voice praised.

Koga looked over his shoulder and grins. "Learned from the best!" He replied, while placing the katana on a shelf to display. "heh..." The man rubbed his nose sheepishly. Seeing that his brother got the wrong idea, Koga continued with his previous statement. "Not you Onee-san, i mean To-sa- ow!" A goose egg formed on his head, after a hard punch from his brother.
"Onee-san!!" Koga shouts rubbing the egg delicatly.

"Stupid brat, your shift is over take a break..." His brother mumbles embarrassed, causing Koga to grin. He nods and waved before running out of the shop.

'What is there to do...' He wonders stuffing his hands in his camo pants. People were crowding the misty roads but because of his well adapted eyes, he got past easily. 'Maybe the training groun-no what am i thinking...' Images of blood flashed through his mind, but he shook his head rapidly.
Koga sighs, and continues to weave himself through the crowd, only to bump into someone hard. His eyes widen and he fell onto his arms which supported his fall. His hands hit the cold and wet ground roughly causing him to wince, though he quickly got up to help the other victim. He swore under his breath at his clumsiness, hoping he or she was okay . "Are you alright!"

It only took the Kazekage and her escort a few hours to finally to arrive at the Leaf village. It must have been quite the sight for the Konoha guards when they suddenly saw a small group of people running at high speed towards the Konoha gates. But once that the group was near the gates the guards probably saw who the running people were. The Kazekage had arrived.

Before Izumi and her escorts entered the Leaf village, they first were stopped by one of the guards and they had to fill in their names on a small paper and identify themselves. This wasn’t a strange thing to do in a village like Konoha. In fact the Sand village also keeps track of who leaves and enters their village. The main reason to do this was obviously to keep a record for who entered and left the village and it was also often used when the local guards had to deal with a crime.

Everything went smoothly and after only a small delay Izumi was able to enter the village. The leaf village had always seemed a peaceful village to Izumi. The happy people just walking around talking with each other in this green nature. Yes it was defiantly a peaceful place when there was no war.

"Kazekage sama it seems like we arrived before schedule and have because of this a little more time left before the meeting will commence." One of the escorts said while they entered the village together with Izumi. "Good... Then I will take some time to enjoy this peaceful village once again... So you can dismiss for now." Izumi responded. "Very well Kazekage sama." The person said and a moment later every Sand ninja around Izumi disappeared leaving the Kazekage alone for the time being.



"Hanako, wake up honey." The gentle and nice voice of Hanako's mom echoed through Hanako's head. "If you don't get up now you will be late for your daily training with your brother." Hanako's mom said and a moment later Hanako opened her eyes. "Is it that late already?" Hanako asked her mom but before her mom could answer she already jumped out of bed and prepared herself for the day. Of course her mom left while she did so leaving Hanako alone. But right after Hanako was done with preparing herself she rushed downstairs, took something to eat and ran outside. There one of her brothers was waiting for her.

The brother that was waiting for Hanako was one of the people you could call a genius in the clan. Even though he was only 13 years old he already possesses a lot of skill and Jutsus which he can use in battle. This brother of Hanako was also one of the brothers Hanako trains a lot with and while Hanako only just left the house, he suddenly started to take some kunais with exploding notes attached to them out of his pocket.

"Think fast!" Hanako's brother shouted and a moment a bunch of kunais with exploding notes flew in the direction of Hanako. Before being able to think of anything else, Hanako started to form hand seals.
"Mizurappa!" (Violent Water Wave) She shouted and used this Jutsu to counter the kunais and she was able to do so just in time. If it was a moment later, then she would have been hit and the house would probably caught fire due to the explosion of the exploding notes.

"Brother why did you do that!?" Hanako asked a little upset.

"Nothing special. I was just testing you." her brother responded.

"Well don't do it again or something might go wrong." Hanako said.

"Well ok for this time then." Her brother said and after saying that he ran somewhere of to... And so did Hanako. She had to do some shopping first after all.

A few minutes passed before Hanako reached the shopping district in the city. When she arrived however she saw 2 boys, about the same age as her, helping each other get back up. "They must have bumped into each other." Hanako thought as she took a few steps closer to get a better look at the 2 guys and then realized that those 2 people were no one else then her teammates. "Hey you two, are you both alright?" Hanako asked them when she was only a few steps away from the 2 guys.

Yoru gazed at the spot Yugao was last standing before she body flickered away with the ANBU. He felt slightly disappointed; he hardly ever got to spend time with his cousin anymore. Whenever he saw her, it would be only briefly, usually when his team would get a mission and she was briefing them on it. Yoru was eager to finally be able to train with Yugao again and show her what he has learned over the past few months that he has been a genin.

He worked on trying to summon regular mist since the technique was taught to the students at the academy. Summoning mist was a staple and a basic technique that all ninja of the mist knew how to perform. Yoru felt pride in his chest when Yugao told him that their Kekkei Genkai was mist based. He felt even more pride when his teachers praised his chakra control, telling him that he nearly matched Yugao’s talent in chakra control when she first started out.

Without warning, someone suddenly crashed into Yoru, knocking him down to the ground. Yoru felt irritated. Whoever crashed into him was going to pay hell.

"Are you alright!"

Yoru’s irritation subsided at the sound of the familiar voice. It was his own teammate who crashed into him. Yoru would still get his revenge sooner or later though.

"Hey you two, are you both alright?" The voice belonged to Koga and Yoru’s third teammate, Hanako.

Yoru planted his hands on the ground, using the leverage to get himself back up. Once up, he brushed off the dirt that got on his clothes when he fell. He did not pay attention to Hanako or Koga and looked past the two of them, his face showing no emotion.

‘Water bombs? Nah, we’re Mist ninja getting wet isn’t something we mind. Ruining his weapons? Nah, too cruel,’ Yoru thought to himself as he thought of viable ways to get revenge. Deciding he would plot his revenge later, he acknowledged his teammates. He greeted Hanako first,
“Yo Hana, I’m fine, it takes more than full blown impact from this guy over here,” he nodded his head in Koga’s direction, “to bring me down.” He greeted Koga next.

“Hey Koga, watch out why don’t you? You’re pretty clumsy for a ninja,” he said, playfully smirking at his teammate.

Koga felt guilt hit the bottom of his stomach until he heard a familiar voice.

"Are you alright!"

"ah yea...hey Hanako-san..." He greets with a small smile, before flinching slightly at the feeling of Yoru's stare.

“Hey Koga, watch out why don’t you? You’re pretty clumsy for a ninja,”

Koga glanced at his playful smirk, before giving off a sheepish grin. "Heh sorry, haven't been focusing lately." He said as he rubs the back of his neck, but froze when a bloody image ran through her mind. Koga's green eyes were wide but he quickly resumed composer. 'Focus!' He urged himself, forcing the thought out of his head. He peers away casually. "Well, knowing you Yoru, revenge will be coming my way, so i guess ill have to watch my back ne?" He jokes, laughing nervously before looking back at the two. 'And my weapons' He quietly adds on with a small chuckle.

"Anyways." Koga forcefully coughs trying to change subject. "Where were you guys heading, training grounds maybe..?"

Pausing at his response, he began to run his hand through his green hair. 'Please be something interesting...' He begged though it didnt show on his face of course, he held a curious facade. He has been in the weaponry shop for what, maybe 2 days without leaving. He paused, maybe he was exaggerating but all he did was make swords or get the hot fire to continue. So at least, in his spare time, he can enjoy the cool air of the mist and do something interesting. As he thought, he stretched, side stepping instinctively for villagers to pass by.

“Yo Hana, I’m fine, it takes more than full blown impact from this guy over here, to bring me down.” Yoru, one of Hanako's teammates, said to her to greet her after he got up from that earlier fall.

"ah yea...hey Hanako-san..." Not much later koga said to greet Hanako. He smiled while doing so but the smile quickly faded away as he looked back to Yoru.

“Hey Koga, watch out why don’t you? You’re pretty clumsy for a ninja,” Yoru said playfully and he smiled into Koga's direction. It was oblivious that Yoru was planning something. And what he was planning, was something that soon would become clear to Hanako.

"Heh sorry, haven't been focusing lately." Koga said but not much later he froze and seemed to remember something...

"Well, knowing you Yoru, revenge will be coming my way, so I guess I’ll have to watch my back ne?" This was what Koga said jokingly a moment later while he laughed nervously. But Hanako already knew that this wasn't really a joke. Knowing Yoru, he would indeed plot his revenge for this sooner or later. This was also probably what Yoru was thinking about earlier. Sometimes Hanako thought that those 2 had a rather strange bond with each other. But even thought those 2 had a strange bond with each other, it was -most of the times- quite funny in Hanako's eyes.

"Anyways. Where were you guys heading, training grounds maybe..?" Koga said probably to change the subject. Which was a smart idea as he probably didn't want Yoru to get any ideas or plot his revenge sooner.

Hanako didn't really say much in this conversation between them. They just played a little with each other here and there was no reason to interrupt that. About the training grounds, Hanako didn't really know what to answer. She had just finished her shopping list and would love to go and train at the training grounds but she still had to bring everything home. If she didn't they would probably complain at home. "I am sorry but I still have to deliver everything at home." Hanako said as she showed her shopping bag to Yoru and Koga. "I will be there as soon as possible however." Hanako quickly added to what she said before. "But you don't have to wait on me... So I'll see you later." Hanako said before she turned around and started to walk in the direction of where her house was.



It had only been moments before she had reached the Leaf village and had made her way inside. To be honest, Izumi didn't like the meeting to be here. If things would end up bad, then she would be in the middle of enemy terrain and even though Izumi was strong, so were all the other Kage's and Izumi wasn't foolish enough to believe that she could match them all. Izumi had also developed a small hate in her past for the other villages. Still she knew that her job was more important than her own feelings. Besides the hate she had for the other villages wasn't big enough for her to act reckless around them. Izumi just hoped that this time, the meeting would end well and that Izumi didn't have to use the army she had built up in the sand village, this soon in her life.

A few minutes passed before Izumi had reached the Hokage mansion. It seemed like she was the first to arrive there as she saw no Jounins from other villages wandering around the Kage mansion yet. She did however spot a Cloud Jounin on her way here which meant that the Raikage must also have arrived in the Leaf village. Suddenly Izumi remembered that the host of the nine tails was in this village. This surely made her worry as she never before met the host of this monster called the nine tails. What if this person was actually a grown up adult? What if she was able to control the nine tails? What if the Leaf village would use her as a secret weapon or maybe try to kill everyone in the meeting? Those thought flashed though Izumi's head but they quickly faded away as she realized that these were only stupid thoughts. Even though they may have the nine tails, against all the Kage's they wouldn't have a chance. Maybe Izumi had to relax a little and just go inside of the building. If something would happen, then so be it. If not, so the better.

"No one come inside with me." Izumi ordered the Jounins of her village before she entered the Hokage mansion. "Let me go alone as a token of my trust in them." Izumi thought as she made her way inside.

"Well, knowing you Yoru, revenge will be coming my way, so I guess I’ll have to watch my back ne?”

Yoru’s smirk disappeared and he gave Koga an emotionless face.

“Oh I’ll get my revenge alright. So you better keep an eye on your kunai, shuriken, swords, even yourself. Because I guarantee you that I will have my comeuppance,” his voice was sinister and a sudden cold breeze blew through the village.

"Anyways." Koga forcefully coughed trying to change subject. "Where were you guys heading, training grounds maybe..?"

Yoru maintained his emotionless expression.

“I just came back from training ground 2, but I suppose I could go for another round of training,” he said with a flat voice. What he had in store for Koga was something he learned from Yugao. Then he looked over to Hanako to hear her response,

"I am sorry but I still have to deliver everything at home." Hanako said as she showed her shopping bag to Yoru and Koga. "I will be there as soon as possible however."

Yoru merely nodded.

Hanako quickly added to what she said before. "But you don't have to wait on me... So I'll see you later."

Yoru broke his emotionless face and grinned at her, “Alright, I’ll see you there Hana.”

When Hanako walked off to her house and was out of sight, Yoru turned back to Koga.

“Watch your back Koga. And your font. And your sides. And your face,” Yoru’s sinister voice and emotionless expression returned. After his warning however, he grinned at Koga seemingly genuinely and walked past him, coming in close as if to shoulder check him.

But before he could reach Koga’s shoulder, an ANBU had tapped him on the shoulder.

“Yoru Kenzaki, Lady Yugao has requested that you be her escort for the Kage Gathering. You along with Nagi Kasame will be accompanying her and serving as her body guards on the way there, the time spent there, and on the way back.”

Yoru blinked and turned to Koga, “while I’m gone you should still watch your back. Walls, windows, the mist itself that surrounds this village are my friends.” With that, the ANBU nodded and body flickered away; Yoru followed in suit.

Koga listened to the threats coming from Yoru, though, he wasn't scared at all, he seen worse, and heard worst. But he shuddered for Yoru's amusement. "Eh... thanks for the advice." Koga responds adding a pinch of fear into his tone, but he stops at the sound of Hanako's voice.

"I am sorry but I still have to deliver everything at home." Hanako said as she showed her shopping bag to Yoru and Koga. "I will be there as soon as possible however."

"Oh alright." He nods in unison with Yoru.

Hanako quickly added to what she said before. "But you don't have to wait on me... So I'll see you later."

Koga grins and waved at her. "Stay safe Hanako, later." As soon as she was gone from their sight, the emotionless voice of Yoru entered his ears.

“Watch your back Koga. And your font. And your sides. And your face,” Yoru’s sinister voice and emotionless expression returned. After his warning however, he grinned at Koga seemingly genuinely and walked past him, coming in close as if to shoulder check him.

He focused his vision towards Yoru,watching his every mood, wondering on his sudden emotion change. But he shrugs, he does that a lot as well. "Well I got my faced covered you can count on that." He grins playfully back at him, though it disappeared when an anbu suddenly appeared looking for Yoru.

“Yoru Kenzaki, Lady Yugao has requested that you be her escort for the Kage Gathering. You along with Nagi Kasame will be accompanying her and serving as her body guards on the way there, the time spent there, and on the way back.”

Yoru blinked and turned to Koga, “while I’m gone you should still watch your back. Walls, windows, the mist itself that surrounds this village are my friends.” With that, the ANBU nodded and body flickered away; Yoru followed in suit.

"Yes sir!" He salutes playfully with his wide grin plastered to his face. He admired Yoru for his status and power, but he knew he shouldn't be jealous. That would be a foolish thing to do especially because he didnt know what was happening in yoru's life. As Yoru leaves, he gave a small wave before standing in the middle of a crowd alone.
Koga suddenly realized something. 'I have nothing to do...' He sighs and fingered his dog tag. 'well i guess i get something to eat..' He walks into a food stall nearby and began to order some food, his excited looks gone.

Kashikoi Doragon

Kashikoi were standing on the training field with Kubikiribocho placed in the ground. He had been training for some time and was starting to put last hand on his Burning Ash jutsu.
After some time others started to arrive at the training field, so he thought that there soon would be crowded and decided to take Kubikiribocho and leave.
When he arrived back in the village, he placed some of his things at home and then went out to get something to eat.
By the time he arrived at the food stall, someone else had aparently thought the same thing as himself.
He placed Kubikiribocho in the ground next to himself and ordered some food.

As he sat there he started wondering about when it was time, for him to have some students.
Untill now he had just been going out on random missions, or on the training field.
When the food arrived, he didn't seem to notice it at first, but shortly after he started eating from it.

Koga sat there eating his ramen with his senses down and beaten. Lately, he has been out there, daydreaming and always bumping into people like Yoru. 'Whats wrong with me!' He sighs disappointed as he ate slowly, but peers towards the stall opening at the new comer.

Green eyes blinked in surprise. It was their sensei Koshikoi, Taijutsu master and a Swordman of the mist. It was quite a surprise to get him as a sensei, seeing how high ranked he was, and Kouga was very happy. Every since he was a child, he took great interest in the 7 men of the mist, the owners of great weapons in the past. To put it simply, Koshikoi was his idol, but he kept that at the down low.

'Hm maybe Sensei doesn't have any missions lately, I mean the village has been rather peaceful.' Koga thought before sitting up to properly greet his leader. Turning the stool towards his own sensei's stool, he curtly nodded showing respect gleaming within his eyes. "Hello Sensei!"


Misaki laid at the roof tops of the village buildings. She was currently asleep and very bored at the moment. There was nothing to do, other then training and she done that all yesterday. Relaxing her body, she focused on the sounds of the surrounding crowd. Rumors hit her ears, secrets and little conversations, but one voice was oddly familiar. Sitting up, Misaki eyed the crowd below her, pin pointing the location of the voice. Her black orbs stopped at an Uchiha boy who was standing near 2 others. Her eyes soften, Mana Uchiha, her distant cousin and an old friend. But that didn't matter now, he probably didn't even remember her.

Shrugging it off, she went on observing the others. As if she was a computer, information of the two genin girls came to mind quickly. The blue hair female was a hyuuga, rank genin. The other female which had black hair was easy to tell. She was Tsuki, the Ninetail holder and the one supposedly hated by all villagers and ninjas alike. But Misaki really didn't care at all of the demon within her, Tsuki was just a genin and a child of the leaf to protect with her own life. She smiles a bit before chuckling. 'Is this some genin party...?' She wonders, swiftly jumping into the crowd without notice.

Slipping past villagers, she neared the group of genin quietly and began to melt into the crowd with ease. Misaki listened into the conversation with slight interest, yet her face held no emotion other then boredom.

Kashikoi Doragon

Kashikoi were rather down. He felt bored as there hadn't been any interesting missions or anything in a while, so he decided to go and get something to eat.
when he arrived at the food stall and had ordered some food, he heard someone adress to him as sensei.
He turned around and noticed Koga.
"oh, hey." he simply said and then turned his attention to the food.

After eating some of it he stopped and leaned back to think.
If I'm smart, I might get something to do. he thought
"Hey Koga, have you seen Hanako ? Time for some training".
