Another night of scheming~Req Shiro

[Miroku Akkuma]

[col]

Akkuma sat at the end of a large oak table awaiting the shinobi he had sent for. Though their encounter had been brief the demon had not forgotten the youth. In fact he intended to get to know the young shinobi, what better way to do that than over food and a few drinks. Along with talk of plots that were in motion, the sage intended to see what type of being this Shiro was. What motivated him? Which way did his moral compass point? These were just a few of the things he intended to find out.

The demon sage had sent Mai, she was beautiful and charming. A true temptress her weapon was her body, in more ways then one considering she was an Aburame. She wore red tinted glasses in order to conceal the depth of her kikaichu and just how much of her body they used. Even her eyes had been eaten away to make room for the hive, instead of two eyeballs she had a kikaichu sitting in each optical nerve. She saw what they saw, Mai was truly a fascinating creature. She stood at five feet and nine inches with a hourglass figure. Long black hair fell down her shoulders and her surprisingly pale complexion was almost unseen in this desert area.

'Hopefully they won't be much longer...' he thought to himself downing a huge mug of Toraono ale. A particularly beautiful drop of liquor that he had grown quite fond of. At a massive height of 7'4ft, weighing in at a massive 184kgs and clad in his Ancient Toraono armour. Akkuma was a sight to behold even when seated, those huge demonic hands and their clawed fingers tapped the table. His wolf ears twitched waiting for a sign that they were coming, his demonic presence ready to feel anyone approach. That long weapon-like tail lay at his feet on the ground unmoving, a sign he was calm. That crimson orb and its diamond-like counterpart stared at the hallways entrance. Sitting there he looked like some of of demonic Warlord plucked out of a story from the Old Era's.

'I wonder if I'll find out what GoT is this time..." he thought to himself wondering what it could be. For the likes of him he couldn't figure it out then again these mortals were peculiar.

When Mai found the young shinobi she would bow deeply "Excuse me sir but my Lord Akkuma requests your presence...if it's of no inconvenience to you. I'm sure you'll find what he has to say very interesting, but formalities are formalities. You understand..." she'd say in that sweet voice of hers, as a kikaichu crawled down her wrist. Standing upright her black silk dress clung to her body, her bright blue eyes were fixed on the youth. If he agreed to follow her she would lead him through the dojo to the Demon Sage.

Shiromaru was making his way back from a rather eventful evening of scavenging. He'd managed to run into a damsel in distress but as it turned out she didn't have any money to pay for his protection so Shiromaru did what any self respecting merc would do.

He left her high and dry where she was.

At this point he was a bit drowsy from a lack of sleep but he'd managed to liberate a bag of Sauna chips. Munching away Shiromaru clad in some Toraono guest gi, sporting his white hair and soft brown skin Shiro's red eyes came upon a strangered who he intended to walk past but the woman apparently was looking for him. Munching on chips woke she spoke, Shiro's expression blank as ever he responded with chips still in his mouth.

"M'kay"

He followed the woman with her bugs to meet this stranger. When he got to the location he was mildly surprised that he had seen the man before.

"Oh. You... *munch munch* sup?"

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

It didn't take long for Mai to return with the youth, giving a deep bow she retreated from the room. Never having heard the slang 'sup' before he assumed it was some kind of greeting. "Greetings my young friend. Please join me for a drink and some food. I have a few things I'd like to discuss with you. But first...what is this GoT you mentioned when we last met?" he would ask with that shark-like grin upon his face wondering what it was. Sliding a giant mug of ale across the table to the shinobi.

"Tell me Shiro...do you like adventure? I've got a plan to make things a bit more...exciting around here. Would you like to help?" he asked in that curious tone of his, that crimson orb and its diamond-like counterpart focused on the youth as he downed a drink. "To new friends..." he make the toast before downing the whole mug of ale. Grabbing one of the massive legs of meat before him he would begin tearing into it, truly he was like some kind of Warlord plucked from the stories of old.

Nonchalant as ever, Shiromaru continued to munch on his chips while his new acquaintance. Everything about the man screamed "evil mischief planner" but he would play along for now. The offer for food and drink would not go to waste either. It was going well up until the moment Akkuma asked about Shiro's earlier 4th wall break. With a sigh, Shiro decided it was best to keep things IC for now and offer an answer someone of this universe was more readily to handle or maybe in Shiro's continuity he'd actually passed by a traveling troupe of actors performing a show called Game of Thrones during his travels..

GoT means game of thrones. Essentially *much munch* its the race slash battle for the crown which *munch munch* I have a feeling you're playing. Pretty good show actually. *crunch crunch* If you're ever in Water country, maybe you'll come across them. *munch munch* Winters are long there and the night is dark and full of terrors.

Feeling like he gave enough of an explanation, Shiromaru began to partake in some of the food that was so pleasantly arranged.

I don't care much *bite/chew* for politics. But if your gold is worth anything *chew chew* then I'm up for most things. Clearly he wasn't ashamed to talk with his mouth filled.

Shiromaru gazed up on his field of sexual acts and he saw that it was bare.

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

Akkuma smiled at the youths words how perceptive he was being. Smiling that shark-like grin revealing his razor sharp teeth. "Hahaha it sounds most intriguing...well that feeling of your is well founded. I originated from water country long ago now..." he thought to himself thinking about those eldrich horrors and that deadly cold. "Winter Is Coming..." a phrase he had taken to saying ever since the demise of his village.

Shiromaru began to partake of the food from the table now he had finished his chips, Akkuma liked the fact that the youth had the same table manners as himself. The youths words made the demon chuckle "I appreciate values such as yours. My gold is worth quite a lot in this regard. I believe we can do business together. Just remember one thing should anyone offer you gold to betray me..." he said in a warm tone pausing and sparking up a cigarette before continuing. "I'll pay double whatever they offer, I enjoy living." he would say in that charming voice of his, taking another deep breath of nicotine filled smoke.

Shiromaru continued to eat his fill as the strange man spoke. He wanted to build an alliance and in doing that, he intended to buy Shiromaru's allegiance. That was all fine and dandy for the young shinobi so long as the the man didn't pass any boundaries Shiro didn't like and Shiro thought it best to tell him so.

"Well thats all fine and dandy my ninja. I'll play ball so long as you don't cross any lines. Those lines being killing small children or women with small children. And you betta talk to me like you got sum sense too. I aint no underling. I'll do jobs for you but respect is as respect does.

Get me?"

Those were his only conditions along with getting paid. If that was all, Shiromaru was reaching his limit as far as food went. He was unsure of what would happen from this point, so he sat waiting to find out. There was no doubt in his mind that Akkuma would lead them into the next phase of this story arc.

[ooc: Sorry for late post. Almost died the other day.]

OOC: Damn hope you're alright ninja!
"Perfect then we are in agreement." he would say with that small shark-like grin. 'How surprising it is I seem to be building a decent little force & they possess a moral compass. This shall be interesting.' he thought to himself standing he would raise his massive mug of ale.

"To the Winds of Change." he would say with that devilish grin as he raised his mug for downing its contents, refilling his mug he would take a seat once more. "You see the Wind Daimyo has actively made moves against my family. Systematically trying to remove us. I intend to put an end to this, my allies are of the same intent. Although I fear they will lack the conviction required for what we intend to do." he would say calmly that crimson orb and its diamond-like counterpart focused on Shiro.

"First we must launch recon missions for intel purposes. Our targets for recon are the Wind Daimyo, his son, the princess, key military figures & merchant lords. Once we have obtained the necessary Intel the assault will begin. We shall co-ordinate a mass Genjutsu to put all of the civilians and weaker shinobi to sleep. Those remaining awake will be dealt with accordingly, death should be only for our targets or military members. Everyone shall maintain Kuro's appearance so that it helps throw them into disarray and confuse any reports they get during the attack. While the Daimyo, his son, merchant lords and military are being hunted and put down. A small team will escort Suru to the princesses location, there he will make a grand entrance. Rescuing her & securing our next phase. Once the dust has settled and our foes have been dealt with their shall be a wedding. Between Suru and the princess, this will ensure a new Daimyo." he would say smiling that shark-like grin and revealing his razor sharp teeth. It was quite the battle plan, after all he was a demon.

"Oh should it be required I will open up various portals in this world allow demons to spill out, providing a sufficient distraction should we require it." he would say in that devilishly charming voice of his before tilting his head. "What do you think about the plan Shiro?" he would ask his new co-conspirator perhaps he would have fresh insight to add to the plan.

[Sekuro]

There was a lot of talking going on and honestly Shiromaru should have been listening. But it all just came across as terribly complicated so he toned most of it out. He wasn't much of a tactician when it came to things like this. Combat wise, he was a prodigy. He knew several ways to kill a man with little more then his bare hands but overall he wasn't one for grand plans and schemes. Unlike his new employer, Shiromaru wasn't playing a Game of Thrones. So he took one last sip of his drink before looking back up to Akkuma.

Sounds complicated, convuluted, and has so many moving parts that something is bound to go wrong. But you're not paying me to think. You're paying me to do violent things to people so in that aspect, I'm like a cannon. Aim and shoot. I"m sure I'll some fun with whatever I do. His tone was notably serious and lacking in his previous dialect. This was the business side of Shiromaru. He knew full well that allying himself with this man would make his life fairly more complicated from this point on, but what was life without some excitement? He'd learned everything he learned so that he would no longer be weak. And for a child his age, he was far from weak.

So whats first?

Nodding the demon listened to the young shinobi's words, glad to see he had noticed the flaws in the plan. "Haha I'm glad your in agreement with me. I'm of the same opinion that things need to be simpler, but unfortunately I'm not the only player in this game. I merely intend to take advantage of the chaos my kins plans shall create." he would smile that shark-like grin, before deciding to answer Shiro's question.

"That my friend new friend is simple. You are to be the ace up my sleeve, if you don't object I would prefer you begin recon. I need the locations of the Merchant Lords of Sora. Along with the location of the Daimyo, I want to deal with him personally." he would say to his new comrade, deciding to elaborate why he had chosen Shiro. Not that he would be the only intel gatherer he intended to send. But as a Mercenary the youth was perfect for the job, he had no affiliation with Sunagakure.

"Being a Mercenary who has no affiliation with Sunagakure makes you a good candidate, you should be safe from close scrutinisation. I will send two other Agents into Sora to collect data as well, once we have the information required we can begin the assault. Also it is not a priority but any Military locations or supply holds should be documented as well. Though your priority will be the Merchant Lords and Daimyo. If you object I'm sure I can find you a task more suitable to your talents." he would say with that warm grin once more. After all not everyone was equipped for recon, if Shiro felt he didn't fit the current task he had been given the demon would find another for him.

A War like the one he intended to wage had many roles that required filling, if Akkuma could of had his way. They would have made the Assault already they had enough assets, though his allies wanted to do recon and thorough planning. Didn't they realise things rarely went to plan, with the forces he had amassed the chance of failure was slim. While the main shinobi force would deal with the military of Sora. Three squads would be sent after their targets, one after the Merchant Lord, one after the Daimyo and the last would be escorting Suru to the princess. He just needed everyone to know their roles and play them perfectly.

The boy had his fill of food and drink and they had long since gotten into brass tax of this war talk. Shiro had yet to feel the actual gravity of the situation. For him, this was still a game. It was almost as if his life was insignificant due to the fact that he and everyone in this world were fictitious and he wasn't actually in control of himself but some omniscient being typing on a laptop. That said, Shrio wasn't afraid to die. Looking at Akkuma who clearly was vested in this plan, he spoke:

Well I aint the bes' when it comes to spyin'. Its aint like I'mma Inuzuka or a Hyuuga but I was trained by both so I guess I could keep an eye on whoever this person is. You got a location fuh me to start or whatever? Truthfully the boy was in the mood to fight someone. His fight with the sennin Kuro left him feeling underwhelmed mainly because it had to 'conclude' off screen since the actual thread died so Shiro wasn't exactly satisfied.

But lemme know when you got someone that needs deez hands put to em'. If this were a Sim's game, Shiro's desire for violence would be about at 76.54% mainly out of dissatisfaction from his last two threads that ended due to inactivity. But who knows, maybe Shiro would finally find something that wasn't boring that would re-spark his fire for this game.

"Brilliant. Do not worry all I ask is your best that is all. I do the location is Sora, home to the Daimyo and Merchant Lords." he would say with a shark-like grin. "So Shiro tell me a bit about your skills as a shinobi so I can decide which task to give you in this war. Then we'll have a little spar to test your abilities along with my own. There are some new techniques I wish to try in battle." he would say downing another mug of ale, how enjoyed the taste of liquor but he rarely got to feel it's true effects.

"For example what Jutsu are in your arsenal, what techniques do you dislike encountering?" he would ask his new ally, how he disliked the business side of war. But he did so enjoy battles, in his opinion they were the best way to truly get to know someone.

OOC: So sorry on the wait a huge storm had all the road closed and couldn't get back into the community. But I'm back now, so things will be back to normal.​

[Sekuro]

Ooc:bad post, on phone.

"All you really need to know is that I'm gayer than- shit... pause. I mean faster than you. Damn auto correct." Shiro got up from the table at the mention of a sparring match.

"I think I do a gif job covering my bases so no real weaknesses to speak of. I mean I DID just fight the sannin of this place an' I'm straight.

So what you wanna do yo? You wanna catch deez hands? " Shiromaru was a free spirit that just liked to test his fighting skill. If he could get paid doing it, that just made it all the better.

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

"Why don't you follow me outside the dojo and we'll have a quick battle." said the demon with a shark-like smile. To pass the time by as they walked down the hall Akkuma would talk once more "Fight with the intent to kill, we'll stop only once one of us is unconscious agreed?." he said cracking his shoulders it had been too long since he had been in a serious battle he needed to prepare and take note of what he needed to improve on. Knowing what target to give Shiro should they find themselves in a group fight would come in handy too.

Once they had reached a sufficient enough distance from the dojo Akkuma would remove the the armour he wore that thudded heavily to the ground. Runic glyphs and curse seals covered the demons body he stood before the young shinobi. "Let me know when you want to begin." he'd say ready to start this battle, once his new ally was prepared. 'Auto correct what on earth is that? Atleast he's enthusiastic for a battle.'

 

[Sekuro]

The demon finally spoke again after what seemed like well over the 5 day limit. Shiromaru was actually beginning to think he'd be better off leaving this topic but held out hope that Akkuma would break free of his silence and they would continue. The young shinobi's wish was granted and the two warriors made their way out of the dojo.

"Sure thing. But don't complain when you wake up with a splitting headache. I'm faster than Barry Allan on a good day homie." Once they made it out doors Shiro took a fighting stance similar to that of an alien warrior who came to earth to destroy it but bumped his head and became its greatest hero. Then he would say one last thing before beginning. Yelling at the top of his lungs into the night sky of the desert:

"RNG GODS! BLESS THIS BATTLE WITH A FAIR AND JUST MODERATOR AND GRANT ME THE STRENGTH TO DEFEAT MY OPPONENT SWIFTLY IN 10 SECOND INCREMENTS!" With that, Shiro took a serious look at Akkuma and prepared himself mentally to be standing in the same position for several days until he was allowed to move again.

[Sekuro]

At long last by what seemed like at least 3 months, the fight between Shiromaru and Akkuma began. Shiromaru, in top form, unleashed a furry of blows upon Akkuma which surprisingly enough, struck home each time. Shiromaru had assumed that Akkuma was taken by surprise by the boy's sudden burst of speed causing Akkuma to be hit off guard. By the end of the flurry, Shiro could tell he'd done a rather large number on Akkuma's legs. He even had enough time to add in a bit of spice to his attacks. If things were to continue this way, Shiro would win this battle very easily. He was hoping that his battle and as a result, his new employer would be more of a challenge.

Perhaps he was underestimating Akkuma though. Perhaps his new employer was toying or Shiromaru was trapped in a Genjutsu. But this all seemed a too easy for the boy.

Ha ha... you're too slo-ow He said after finishing his onslaught. The leg attacks must have gotten to Akkuma because as he tried to attack Shiromaru, the boy very easily stepped out of the way.

You're moving so slow its like you're standing still yo. I'm not outclassin' you by that much am I? He said as he avoided yet another attack from Akkuma.

Well... guess we'll see what happens in the next ten seconds of fighting. The boy took a stance and prepared for the next round of combat with a confident smirk on his face.

[ooc:]
The only issue I have is my conditional didn't set off as it should have. It wouldn't have changed the mod at all, but for the sake of fairness, I feel like it should have been triggered.

Edit: Also my healing CP/HP was not added to the mod.[/ooc]

 

[Miroku Akkuma]

Akkuma chuckled at Shiro's words the damage to his legs already starting to repair, though the speed that the boy moved with was phenomenal. Even in his demonic form he had still failed to catch the youth. Then again he knew all he would have to do was outlast the boy, shinobi of his skill could only fight so long before the toll became to great for their body. "Well played..." he would admit to the youth, he knew his legs were broken. Smiling that bloodthirsty grin he would chuckle "We have only begun..." he would say before preparing for the next barrage.
