Blood Trackerz [Ziren] [C Rank Modded Mission]

[Keigo Oen]

Silence began to fill the air. An apparent thing that Ziren may not have been accustomed to. Hearing the sounds of blood rushing through another being was his specialty, and it wasnt something that many people would be able to control around the growing boy. However, at the moment he was locked in silence, for far off the culprit would be attempting to flee the scene of the killing. Why was this man or woman doing this? Maybe there was more than one? Who knew, but the young ANBU would be forced with a decision, in the forest of Death there were many rumors and theories, people died here all the time. Simply from just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and this was not a place that many Shinobi even liked coming to. ANBU were seen here often, they were the elite. They were the strong. Could this budding ANBU figure out this mystery?

If the boy would look around, he'd see tracks, some of animals, sandals, and other various things... broken branches.. blood dripping from a leaf, and a dead bird laying far off... its heart beating its last beat just moments before. 'Thudunk... thudunk' the faint swelling of blood coursing through something's veins would be picked up... could he follow up? What would Ziren do? The direction of the hear beating was towards the edge of the forest... but would there be any reason to think that it was the culprit?

Ziren stopped as he heard the blood flow stop. He was accustomed to being in the Forest, training. Hearing blood flow stop means that an animal has died. It was almost normal for him. But why was it that he paused here? Well for one, the blood flow was that of a human being. And for two. From the sound of the blood around him. There was another blood flow that seemed peculiar to him.

He ran forth, until he found the body. It was that of a woman. Just from looking, she died only a few minutes ago. Ziren wanted to bury her, but there was no time. He tapped his head piece as he ran towards the unknown blood flow.

"Calling a medical ninja to the Forest of Death. Coordinate fifty-three degrees east, ninety four degrees north.
Victim pronounced dead at 2331 time."

Ziren said this all with a normal voice, but not loud enough to bring unwanted attention to him.

He stopped for a moment to assess the situation. He was on the right path for sure. Footsteps were in the mud, they were made out in sandals. He listened for blood flow, but only heard blood of that of the dead, very different from that of the living. He looked over and seen the source. There was blood on a leaf. That of the same as the woman's. He listened intently and found that listening to the blood of the dead was helping out too.

Ziren changed the channel to something more secured. "Suspect unknown, wanted for murder. Still has victims blood on him or her. Still wearing sandals.
Last known location fifty-three degrees east,
ninety four degrees north. Now tracking, heading about four degrees north of last known location." Now if anyone caught wind of his saying through the head set, they could help out. But for right now he had to take this on alone. Ziren proceeded on with his mission, knowing that he was closing in on the target.

Darkness falls and the souls of man would rise from the ground. Spiritually these nights were unlike the others, and for poor Ziren there would be a depth of awanress embarked upon the blood hearing ANBU Trainee. Though his first call as an account of the time of death would go through, the second would be met with a loud electromagnetic pulse. EMP. Effectively stopping any calls for help in the area for the next minute or so. It was met with a slew of dark chuckles and giggles. They were all met with the lack of anything Ziren would see... but now there would be three individual pulses he could sense, and they all seemed to be picking up and getting closer. Anticipation was a damned thing....

The light from the sun on the horizon seemed to give hope of light in the area, there was just enough of it to give a showcasing of the area... Ziren would be able to see at least fifty feet ahead of him in all angles... though from what he would see... would be the visage of many different shadowy wisps... glowing eyes seemed to cover the area.

"So Blood Kin... It seems you've been brought here at the wrong time~ Hehe~ Its time... For your reckoning."

Ziren was kind of shocked about the fact that his head set was hacked. He heard the voices of dark laughter in his ears. He calmly took the head set out of his ears, not going to let whoever this was effect him one bit. He has met and dealt with Maru and his darkness enough to not be deterred by such evil.

He smiled. His eyes glowed red as he let his other self take control of the situation. Bloodlust Ziren heard the warnings that his weaker self has told him. A warning was a warning, so he will do exactly what his weaker self wants him to do. Evil Ziren made his hand signs, his eyes glowing an evil red. Soon, there were a total of four Zirens with blood red glowing eyes. They all spoke as one. "You really think you're the only evil being here? Not even your darkness can hide you from your own fear that runs in your blood flow."

But he didn't stop there. He made more hand seals and then everywhere was raining. Rain dance. He didn't let his chakra turn the rain to blood, because that would certainly make his weaker self complain.

"That is what you may think.
But the only reckoning that is going to come is your very own. I would kill you, but your blood would be wasted being spilt. I would personally see to it that you will be tortured so badly that you would be begging for death to come."

He was unimpressed with how many of other glowing eyes were before him. That weren't that if his own blood clones.

"You forget. A Chigokai doesn't need eyes to know where his enemies are." He laughed, not caring about how he was facing an enemy that killed the previous person before him.

It was simple. The Idea that Ziren would be able to take all of them was going to be absurd. However, he did have a point the anticipation was rising and the blood rolling through the veins of these... entities was beginning to pump faster waiting for the first move to be made. "Silly little boy... You wont be able to stop me... and your body will just continue the count of endless lives I'll take in the darkness....", the shadows would sift and shift. Moving from tree to tree... but not making any noise? Hm, and the pulse would seem to not move either sitting not close but somewhere near the back. The Shadows up front... eyes and all would move and shift back and forward, all having a physical presence but nothing natural... nothing human.

"Suddenly you feel that my words are true young Blood Bender... However, you will feel soon how true my abilities to kill are superior to save your own life. So... what are you waiting for young one? What will be the first move in this chess game...", suddenly leaves would shuffle but right now Ziren wasnt honing in on the sound of the leaves while listening to the blood flow. Which seemed to slow slightly, calming down and soothing itself, Maybe this was going to be the wrong day to play hero... Maybe this was going to be Ziren's last day on earth. Evil Ziren seemed to be taking over, which would make this more interesting. Who knew... but the shifting would settle a few feet west of Ziren but something was moving to the north of him was well, he was being closed in... What would he do?

Bloodlust Ziren looked around, focusing on the blood flow as it stayed where it was. But the shadows all around him were moving. He was already formulating some possible outcomes. Either this was all a Genjustu, this was just a shadow user, or maybe something else. And since he didn't have time for this stupid nonsense, he summoned up Crimson with his Hemonancers gift. The sinister glow matching his evil persona.

The other three blood clones went out to attack the shadows, knowing that their usefulness relies in numbers. But Bloodlust Ziren wasn't worried one bit. As his eyes glowed evil, he used the Vanishing slash technique with Crimson, not knowing if he hit the unknown blood source or not.

He instantly turned back around and did some one handed signs, a Chigokai justsu, Plasma bomb!

After the blood mist cleared from the plasma bomb, he noticed the leaves in the immediate area have been moving around. He wasn't aware at first, but now he was on guard. If tracking with Izumi didn't teach his weaker self one thing, it was that he needed to focus on every little detail.

Bloodlust Ziren flashed a smile, mocking whoever it was that was messing with him. "Such big talk for weak tricks.
By the time I'm done with you, you will know what a real killer looks like."

He then heard it speak again, it trying to make him have feelings that were non-existent to him. For the only feelings he has, is BLOODLUST.

He noticed that there were sounds all around him now. He decided to do yet another taijustsu slashing style, this time, depending on whatever sounds were most near him. Lunar steps.

He felt good. Just holding the sword re-energized as they held special augments. He laughed an evil laugh, waiting for his adversary's next move. Knowing that whatever they will do next will be futile. "You might as well just give up now. It'd be a lot easier for you rather than for me to kill you and have to fill out a lot of boring paperwork that comes in after that." Bloodlust Ziren snickered. None of what this thing was doing around him bothered him one bit. He was used to the demon human puppet hybrid with it's own darkness for this right here to not even effect him one bit.

"I do gotta say. Nice little kid magic tricks that you are pulling off." Bloodlust Ziren was liking the fact that his insulting this adversary actually didn't make his other self mad. In fact, it feels like his weaker self is egging him on. Bloodlust Ziren stood there, with a sly smile on his face.

It came as no surprise that Ziren would figure this out, but he was a smart cookie. Not smart enough to the villain in this story, but was he the correct in his assumptions that he would surmise in facts of the unbecoming. Safely Ziren would have a chance to pick the shadows apart, but to a being that moved swiftly around the battle field. His blood clones would serve to be something of a harp, but Ziren was already deeply under effects that might change that. Sure he could hear the blood flow... but how would he deal with being deaf?

"Hmmm~ HmmmMMmm" humming almost in a sing song form, one would be able to spot Ziren's ability that he was listening for something. The Crunch of the noises made on the ground distant now, but with every jutsu he would feel used... Would sink him deeper into nothing... Soon there was no noise. No sound. Not even at the listening in his own breathing. Ziren had gone completely deaf... he couldnt hear the blood flow aside from his own.

The Shadows continues to swirl around him and he would notice that a bit of his vision was becoming blurred...

What caused this? Who knew... but Crystals seemed to be hanging from the tree lining, moving around him stringing themselves and beginning to glisten in the night sky. Primed with chakra, they would glow... if he got too close they would concuss him with wind energy leaving him helpless... what would he do? He still had his clones, he could see but a bit blurred was his vision, and the shadows would return to their form... something funky was going on!

Bloodlust Ziren figured that he was in a Genjustu. He hated that his weaker self never really learned how to get out of a Genjustu. And now he was being punished for it.

Blood formed around him, and they formed into roses, with each petal being razor sharp. As he did that, he felt himself sink deeper into the ground, he cursed at himself for falling for a trick so easy to evade.

Just then, he was back inside of his own mind. He was looking at his weaker self. The only part of his mind in which everything was the way it should be. Ziren stood there, right in front of the evil persona. "It seems that we are kind of stuck here."

Bloodlust Ziren growled at him. "We wouldn't be in this situation if you didn't just do what was needed! An easy justsu to cancel out of a Genjustu!"

Ziren sighed. Suddenly, the blood roses that were by Bloodlust Ziren in the physical plane appeared by normal Ziren in the mind of the body. "Remember when you first appeared? You litteraly broke out of the Genjustu with pure rage. You even surprised Maru. Now, let me show you what someone with a calm and collected head can do."

He grabbed the blood roses that were floating next to him and gave his evil self a wink. "Don't worry. It won't be as bad as last time."

"Last time?" just then he seen his weaker self throw a rose, the petals parted and embedded themselves into Bloodlust Ziren. He let out a roar of anger as one hit his left knee, another hit his right arm, and one more went and sliced a par of his ear.

The image of his weaker self vanished and then he found himself back into reality. At least he thinks so. He was too focused to look around for any changes as he was assessing his wounds. But he did notice that his blood clones have disappeared. Whether it was from his weaker self hitting him with those stupid blood roses. Or if that was all just part of the Genjustu he was under.

Bloodlust Ziren did though was mad at how his weaker self had some kind of healing ability that he doesn't have. The blood rose petals that injured him in his mind was not there, but his injuries were. It reminded him of their first fight. They almost killed the body in which both of them reside in. He made a mental note that only he can know, to personally get rid of his weaker self before he finds out about what Bloodlust Ziren has been doing.

The blood that was pouring out of his wounds formed into a sword, Crimson. He got up and picked the blood sword up. Yeah, after he's done with this annoying killer, he will soon deal with his weaker self.

Bloodlust Ziren smiled at his goals. Seemed pretty easy and simple enough. He doubts that he would be beaten a second time by the Chigokai that refuses to kill. He let his evil eyes glow, along with the blood sword and the wounds he now has. Now. It was time.

It would seem that there would be impulses to be met with this ordeal. Ziren was obtaining skills by the moment that would change him. They would fuel him, and even with the Genjutsu he was under there was only a matter of time that the being of the night would have a direct opening to take the blood bender down. It was a matter of time before the Genjutsu would be broken and the tables would be turned on him... It... Them... Us... Whomever the shadows were would find that there was a being of blood and evident rage that wanted to solve this mystery, and he would have a side of him that would stop at nothing to destroy it...

Alas, amongst the commotion the apparent footsteps would leave. Leaping into the trees and breaking branches and twigs along the way of destroying everything in its path in order to throw Ziren off its trail. The Genjutsu was to get a chance to get away scott-free. So as Ziren would be loosened fromthe grips of the Genjutsu he would find that all of his strikes would fall on the deaf ears of pointless shadow clones. When his assault was over he would find that he was alone in the midst of broken twigs and branches left behind. A trail... but it led Two ways... One was a definitive dead-end... but Ziren would not know the difference at this point...

What would he choose? He only had a limited time... and if he chose wrong he might have a slight chance of catching up with the being before someone else lost their life. So... From here Ziren's choice was needed...

Bloodlust Ziren looked around. Everything looked pretty normal, for it being almost midnight. He looked at the carnage that he has made in a blind rage. All the bodies went poof! Smoke briefly filled the air. But that didn't matter much to him. All he had to do was listen for blood.

Just then, he felt his other, weaker self take back control. The wounds that were caused by mental weapons hitting his others body have now closed up. Ziren knew that in order to close in on the target, he would really need a level head for this. He was thankful enough to break out of the Genjustu. But it won't be easy after this. It can only get harder. As he realized that this was just to get away from him.

Right now, he couldn't trust his ears as much, for he knew how easily it was to mess with ones hearing with Genjustu. He looked around. It was evident that whoever this was, had a lot of chakra, to even make more than three clones. Heck. Ziren could only make three blood clones. So he knows that whoever this was, was obviously strong. And to use Genjustu to get away? Smart enough to know a losing fight when he sees one.

There wasn't really much to look at. Two paths really. He sighed. Maybe he should use his blood hearing. Tracking would be useless if you know only the basics and don't have much time. He listened, hearing for the blood of not an animal. That might have adrenaline running through their body. That is on the hunt. Ziren can't remember if he injured the person, for the Genjustu clouded his mind for most of this chase up until now. Hopefully he actually did. But for right now, he can't hear anything of the culprit, injury wise. Just know that he is out there. And getting farther and farther as Ziren just stands there.

He cursed to himself and ran through the path that he heard the blood flow. He brought his headset back out.

"Testing. Testing. I am still on the trail of the murderer. Seems like he is some sort of master Genjustu user."

He didn't know if that actually went through, but it was better to be safe than sorry to give an update to his higher ups on his mission to find this person. He knew that the longer it took for him to find this suspect, the higher the chances are of that person killing someone.
