Ninpocho Chronicles

Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.

Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.

Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.

The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.

This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

Current Ninpocho Time:

Helter Skelter - Down the Rabbit Hole [Open!]

Tama felt Okibi bury her face into his hair and couldn’t help but shiver a little to feel her muscular body so closely pressed against his own. His small arms wrapped around the male torso of his girlfriend, (that is such a weird sentence to write), and gladly snuggled in without a single thought to the dangers around him. For some reason all his rationality went to the wind and intuition just told him that everything was gonna be o-kay.

Touch me.

The words had barely half a second to register what she meant in his head before his lips were suddenly being invaded with lovins’. Somewhere in the way, way back of Tama’s skull there was his little voice of rationality that was just screaming ‘WTF MAN!? HOW IS MAKING OUT GOING TO HELP?!’ but it was so easily to ignore with her scent and touch catching ninety-nine percent of his attention. In all honesty Tama didn’t really get to do much as he was just so overwhelmed by the pleasure pulsating through his frame that all he could do was bump back and try not to moan.
It was embarrassing enough that he was completely paralyzed by her actions.
Then the jutsu clicked into place and everything was coolbeans. Their decent suddenly stopped and the gravity technique lowered them down to land on the wafer ever so gently. When his dainty weight returned and they dropped down he too dropped down to his knees but only because his legs were shaky as hell from their previous actions. Never before in the history of anything ninja had making out ever been the solution to saving one’s life while falling down a pit…but apparently Tama and Okibi were history makers.

As riled up as Tama was they were also about the first couple to make it on a vanilla wafer floating on a river of molten chocolate. Seriously this so sounded like a chick’s wet dream.

With only a growl to respond to Okibi’s cheeky remark the blonde carefully crawled up to his mate and kissed her passionately without a single moment’s of hesitation. His hand clawed at her muscular pectorals and began to search down for something lower. It was his turn to show her some buttons…

[Censored for Maji’s and the Warlock’s sake]

The sudden lift of the vanilla wafer almost didn’t faze the blonde so lost was he in what they were doing. However once he realized that his body being lifted up wasn’t Okibi trying to position him better a sudden pang of fury rushed through him.
Now?! AGAIN?!
The scientist pulled himself away from Okibi reluctantly to roll onto his rear and watch the birth of the next thing trying to cockblock him. A grim look overtook his face as he stood up and fixed up his robes so that once again they were hiding anything explicit.

Okibi,<i></i>” Tama said with his higher pitch voice in a tone that was as low and as serious as it could get, “Lets say we destroy the absolute hell out of this stupid monster, climb back up there, and sock the hell out of that freaking warlock. I am so tired of being interrupted in a body that I’m not passing out in.<i></i>”

Girl Tama was also brutally honest Tama.

Pushing a little chakra into his feet the trained killer lifted himself off of the wafer without making it so much as bounce before landing on a closer wafer and repeating the process until he got right up on the chocolate bar monster. He stood straight up with a deadly glint in his eye as he slapped his hands together and began to rotate through multiple sets of seals rather rapidly. His hand motions were a continuous blur that began to make the air around the creature condense into two gigantic invisible blades that launched themselves at the creature. With a single motion of his hand the two blades split themselves up into four more on each side.
The highly condensed air ate through the chocolate beast like nothing but it reformed itself rather easily by absorbing the contents from which it was birthed from. In seconds the beast had been reduced to ruble and reformed to launch a sudden counter attack.
Tama was barely able to dodge away in time but that ever constant glare was still hard in his eyes. New calculations were being made.

Okibi, can you use your gravity jutsu to cause all of the molten chocolate around him to move away? I have an idea.<i></i>”

As soon as she would use her ninjutsu technique the scientist would then recreate his windstorm again but then follow up with a barrier that he landed on top of and crafted a seven part jutsu locking seal to which keep the energy from dispersing once the molten chocolate was released back.

Now all they had to do was find a way out should his plan go flawlessly.

[mft]
 
Tama's reaction to their monstrous interruption was very amusing. Okibi laughed when he suggested destroying the chocolate beast and finding the warlock guy so they could hit him in the face. On one hand, she agreed, but on the other she kind of wanted to thank the guy. Although he had done some pretty annoying things, he did put Tama in that body that kept him from passing out on her . . . While they hadnt been able to really do anything, it was still a good learning experience.

Okibi watched, hanging back, as Tama set the molten river ablaze with his fury. He hopped from wafer to wafer like a giant, blond haired frog, and somehow managed to get on top of the monster without being swatted by its swinging arms. Blades made of nothing materialized in the air above the monster, and came down with a great slicing force. For a second, Okibi thought she wasnt going to have to do anything, but then the giant chocolate bar fused itself back together using the liquid of the river. Well, that was annoying. Shaking her head, Okibi dashed across the wafers to join her beau. As she leapt through the air she slashed at its arms when they got too close. One fell away from the monsters body, rending a scream from it.

She landed on top of the monster next to Tama, dusting her hands of the chocolate dust thatd built up with her slashes. Her eyebrows raised into her hairline when she heard what he wanted her to do. Use her gravity jutsu on the river? That was a lot of gravity to manipulate . . . "I've never tried to do something like that before . . . but you got it!"

Her face contorted with a grimace as she splayed her feet, getting into a steady, ready stance. If she was going to try to move that much mass, she was going to have to have a firm foothold. She flashed through some seals, and knifed her hands out in front of her at the waist. Sweat started to bead on her forehead as the strain of trying to handle so much substance weighed down on her. Slowly, she was able to work her technique under the entire rivers flow, and with a throaty roar lifted the molten liquid up and over their heads, letting it land back in the ravine on the other side of them.

With her thick arms raised her over head, Okibi's hair, neck and chest were quickly becoming slick with sweat as the effort of holding up all that weight started to take its toll. Her arms started to shake, and when the monster growled and took a swatt at them, she almost lost her hold, bringing the river down on their heads. Somehow, she was able to dodge the blow and still keep the river aloft as Tama did what he did.

The moment she was told to, she let the weight of the chocolate drop, and watched as it flowed up and around them over a shield Tama had erected. Ah, the things they could achieve together.

And then something strange happened when the barrier went up and the chocolate let down. The monster squealed and started swinging its solitary arm around, dancing about like it was trying to get away from a roach. Okibi's eyes widened and she hunkered down, digging her claws into the monsters chocolate head so she didnt fall off.

"Stop hurting me! Please stop hurting me!" The monster screeched in a surprisingly high pitched voice. Okibi blinked with confusion. What?

------------------------------

The warlock frowned at the mirror. Those blasted two had somehow managed to block themselves from his view. How was he supposed to be entertained now?

The fairy boys words were like an annoying buzz in his ears. After he'd returned to his normal state of mind, the warlock had completely lost any interest in him. Goodiegoodies were so boring. Until the boy started inquiring about his abilities, anyway. If he'd had pointed ears like the boy, they would have perked up at the question. The warlock slowly turned in the air and away from his mirror, giving the boy a scrutinizing look.

"What else can I do? My boy, I can do things that you could not ever hope to do even in your wildest dreams."

Before the boy could even blink, the magic user would vanish and then reappear right in front of his face. Held in his hands below his chin was a stack of cards, splayed out in a nice fan. "Pick a card. Any card." He said, with a very . . . straight . . . face.

While this was going on, the gerbil pups were facing a little situation of their own.

The toxic mist was wearing off.

"Augh! Why are you hugging me!? Get off you nasty!" Zen barked, pushing away from Seven. Seven landed on his back, blinking as his mind cleared. He didnt seem as put out about their having been hugging each other so tightly. He rolled over and bounced to his little feet.

"That was so very strange." he squeaked absentmindedly as Peaches wandered by, looking like she'd somehow become lost. He grabbed hold of her tail so she didnt go wandering too far. "Where are we?" She asked airily. Seven shook his head and dodged the swipe that Zen sent his way for touching his precious Peaches.


(EDIT! Chocolate monsters voice! 8D)
 
Maji began to feel as the sorcerer was ignoring him, but after asking about his talents, the man appeared to have finally taken an interest. The warlock instantly transported in front of the white-haired boy and drew out a deck of cards. The pink-eyed elf boy floated a couple of inches back, but then was instantly consumed by amusement.

“Any card?”<i></i> he echoed with uncertainty. His gut told him that this could be a trick, but he was a child that was itching to be intrigued. He went along with it. Maji picked a card and examined it; he made sure he didn't allow room for the magician to peak. It was the Ace of Hearts. He glanced up at the man as if what to do next.

He could hear the dog-gerbils rambling on in the background below. Well, they were back to normal.
 
The day started out rather normally...which in hindsight was somewhat unusual given the last few weeks for the Sunan artist. After the fated dinner party which he attended to with Sousuke, he was left quite a rather huge bout of inspiration for some artist work... so he locked himself in his workshop, working on reimagining all the scenes of combat, the might of the unusual creatures, the mechanical precision of their Kage...the horrifying visage of the insect-like attackers. One painting led to another...and then he tried to reimagine the combat with the Djinn...then some other memories of his father training combat when he was younger... And suddenly, Harupia found himself waking up in the bed suddenly, as if coming out of a comatose. Yawning loudly he rubbed his chin gently...and he felt quite a resistance between the his fingers. Well now... he had to really go of on an artistic venture, as the male's face was covered in a beard. Most of his cheeks and chin covered in the light brown hair, forming a medium goatee at the end of his chin. Heh...he took in something quite closely after his father after all.

He groaned a bit, wondering just how long his break from reality took...he probably would be getting in trouble from someone...but he had the means to deal with it. Some double timing on missions, classes, trying to meet up with the people he still saw around...it would be all good. And he would have to find some people to show off his work now, didn’t he? Still, he needed to get himself something to eat...He considered a few options as he washed and dressed himself, deciding against shaving for the time being (he guessed the reactions would be somewhat amusing)., but couldn’t really decide on anything...though he could go with some chocolate to get his energy going. With the mind in thought, Haru went out to meet a new day in Suna... and even though her was underground already, he would learn that one could fall even lower.

He had no idea where the hole came from, when did it appear, nor just how damn long it was. All he knew was the freefall and the. Strange feeling. As if he shrunk in the face of an imminent demise, which he wasn’t quite sure he could avoid... Though he was trying his best to focus on finding some sand to cushion his fall...next thing he knew, he bounced of something soft, and right to the ground. Dusting himself gently he looked up to see what saved him... and it was a marshmallow...a large, poofy white marshmallow, which grew up to his eye-level... but it really seemed kind of small for that... only then Haru looked down at his hands and feet...and it was evident that the distance between the two was much too small. IN panic he moved his forehead protector from his belt to look at it as in a makeshift mirror....and it was then he considered weather in his artist stupor he reached for less the legal substances. As far as he could see he was a chibified version of himself, like a little gnome in a child’s story...or perhaps dwarf, seeing his beard was looking quite magnificent in his new, smaller body. His hair also was shorter, though long enough to reach past his back...and he was starting at a huge marshmallow. And as he looked around a bit, he saw other giant sweets.

Not sure what quite to make of all this, he wandered through the area, which looked like a giant canyon, observing the soundings, the various sweets of magnificent size adorning the area…first thing he did earlier was try to dispel any genjutsu cast upon him, but that proved impossible. Either this was a technique far beyond his powers, or…well, either way it was something he probably couldn’t understand. Perhaps another Djinn…though this time with a sweet tooth. Of course he was somewhat distressed by what was going on, but he tried not to panic…that usually didn’t help with anything. All things considered, the surreal atmosphere of the place had him somewhat enthralled… and all the sweets made his now smaller stomach grumble a bit. There was even a chocolate river flowing down rather rapidly. After a rather long walk, Haru grew a bit tired from his frantic stride forward. Deciding to rest, he sat down upon one of the large marshmallows, enjoying the comfy feeling… though the rumbling he felt was somewhat disturbing.

That’s all fine, but how does it tie to the story of our heroes. Well, as Okibi was wondering about the words of the Giant chocolate bar, another query would come to capture his…erm, her attention. A growing, rather high scream of someone. If anyone would bother to look up they would see a large marshmallow, and a small looking man clinging for dear life as it fell down. Apparently there were chocolate gazers around this place to… he was lunched for forward at least. And it seemed the view further on were even more interesting… a huge chocolate bar was shouting out, its booming voce calling out for someone to stop hurting it, while a chocolate cascade was dripping over him…perhaps he was still dreaming and this was all his hungry stomach? Regardless, he braced himself for the incoming impact, and as the marshmallow was near the ground he jumped to the site, using his own chakra and agility to stumble down safely on the ground.

He did so, though he tumbled a bit like a small balls, his cloths now covered in chocolate of various state of matter. Rising up, the gnomefied Sunaku looked up, seeing the flailing chocolate bar… honestly, this was either some elaborate illusion he was under, or… was that people on top of the chocolate being?

Mft, Wc = 975

Small OCC note:
I know I’m very late to the party, sorry for that x.x Hopefully I won’t be to much of a bother xP As for the change Haru underwent, imagine him becoming small and stout, basically a dwarf. With a voice like after a good dose of helium.
 
The scientist eyed the strange chocolate creature they were upon. Curiously he reached out and poked the thing as it begged them to stop hurting it Honestly it wouldn’t be much harder to start hacking away at it now would it?. A wicked grin came over the feminine blonde’s face,
Then maybe…</B><i></i>” he began to fuel chakra into his hands and placed it against the…head he guessed, and made small threatening waves with them, “You should tell us how to beat that warlock guy up there? If you don’t I’ll slowly melt you…bit…by…bit…<i></i>” A rather evil look had come over Tama’s face and it was hard to tell if he was bluffing or not; he was a mad scientist after all.

His terrible face was interrupted by the sight of a strange gnome like creature falling down into the parted river and outside of his barrier. Lifting a hand up towards the little guy he placed another barrier over him and extended his own shield until the two overlapped and connected with each other.
You there!” his higher toned voice called out to the small man who had just entered the craziness of this world, “<B>Be you friend or do I need to lay the smack down on you too!?<i></i>”

Girl Tama was cocky Tama.

Simply assuming that the little bearded guy could be another nuisance he wanted to make sure he drove the point home by patting the chocolate critter where he was sitting. He had already countered just about everything the warlock had sent at him. It was going to take more than a cute gnome to get him off his guard now.
 
The chocolate monster cowered in the face of Tama's vengeful smart assery, it's eyes turny buggy when he felt the heat of Tama's chakra start to melt the top of his head. "No! No, no! Please don't melt me! I'll help you! I'll help you!" He screeched pathetically, flailing his single arm around in the air. Okibi pulled her claws out of the monsters head, since it seemed like it wasnt going to jump around anymore.

Just then, Tama spotted something outside the barrier, and after stretching it out to cover the new comer too, hopped down off the chocolate bar to go take a look - or so Okibi presumed. Her face went flat when she saw him conjure up a stick out of the chocolate river bed and start poking at the . . . munchkin? Lawn gnome? She shook her head slightly, sighing. Normally, she would have been right down there with him poking at the creature, but right now she had more important things to see to.

"How can you help us?" She asked the monster as she laid out on her stomach and hung over the side of the chocolate monsters forehead so she could look it in the eye. Her long hair tickled at it's nose - wait, he had one of those? - making him sneeze. The great gust sent her sailing off the monsters head and she tumbled end over end through the air before she landed on her feet next to Tama and the gnome thing, covered in oozy melted chocoate. Although it looked and smelled like regular chocolate, the fact that it came out of the monster after he sneezed . . . made her shudder.

"Sorry." The monster mumbled as it wiped its 'nose'. Okibi just growled in response as she worked on scraping the goop from her person. "I can show you how to get out of here. The warlock who made me showed hmself to you in his projected form right? He does that to me sometimes too just to mess with me. But sometimes he'll come down here in his real body to test some sort of new magic on me. That's how I ended up like this. I wasnt always this big you know."

"Well, that'd be nice." Okibi mumbled as she scraped chocolate off her face. "Can you tell us how to beat him?"

The chocolate monster snorted, crossing his arms . . . arm . . . "If he was projecting himself at you when he sent you down here, beating him should be easy. His body will be left unprotected. If you follow the path I show you, you should be able to find him easily enough."

Okibi was just getting the last of the chocolate boogers off her, growling with pleasure at the monsters information, when she accidentally flung some of the yuck at the gnome thing. "Ah, sorry." She said as she hunkered down next to Tama and smacked the stick out of his hands. "Stop that." She rumbled at him, her new deep voice layered with both reprimand and amusement. Just then, the scent of the gnome tickled her nose, making her snort. "H-Hadoo?" She sputtered. It'd been years since she'd seen the young man with the dark skin and long hair, but she hadnt forgotten his scent, or his 'name'. But how did he end up down there with them? Did he fall down the mysterious hole too!? That would have explained his new . . . appearance at least.

------------------------

The warlock gave Maji enough time to memorize his card - a whole two seconds! - before snatching it back and slipping it into the deck without looking at it. He then fanned the deck out in front of Maji, showing him the numbered sides of the cars, so that he could see that there was nothing weird about it. He then started to shuffle the deck in quite the fantastical fashion. Flipping them through the air, behind his back, over his shoulders from one hand and into the other.

During all this, the gerbils snuck around the pair and ventured over to the mirror. They looked at it, pinching their beady eyes. They turned around and motioned at Maji from behind the warlocks back, trying to signal him to "Keep the guy busy." as they watched the mirror for anything new with Okibi and Tama's predicament.

Suddenly, the warlock crumpled the deck of cards up in his hands, making it shrink. His face twisted up, like he was concentrating, as he crumpled and smashed and smooshed, before suddenly opening his hands once more. Sitting in his opened palms was a small folded paper butterfly, lightly fluttering its wings. It lifted off his palms and fluttered through the air, trailing a line of sparkly dust in the air behind it. It fluttered by and around Maji's head, then up into the air above their heads, where it abruptly exploded into a shower of lights and sparks. Some of the sparks coalesced, forming Hearts and capital A's. They were being rained with the Ace of Hearts. "Was this your card?" The warlock asked, though he looked like he already knew the answer, if the smug smile on his face were any indication.
 
The magician was fast. Before Maji could blink, he sucked the card right back into the deck and started to exhibit his magic. The elf boy “oo'd” and “ahh'd” as the warlock shuffled the deck in a variety of ways. He was good, too good! In the back of his mind, Maji secretly wished he was able to mimic such a feat.

As the man busied himself with flashy card tricks, Maji spotted the gerbil pups from the corner of his eye. They were motioning something... did they want him to distract the guy? He wasn't too sure, but he'd stick to that initial interpretation. Before Maji could lose focus, the magic-man shrank and crushed the cards. With an open palm, the result of these cards was a small, origami butterfly. It was pretty. It fluttered innocently around the boy as if it were orbiting his head. It suddenly exploded in flashy lights, causing Maji to flinch in surprise. A's and heart's fell down from the explosion... it was unbelievable!

“That's awesome!”</B><i></i> he exclaimed with a huge smile as he clapped. “And yes, that was my card!”<i></i> He chuckled a bit from the sheer entertainment he had just received. <B>“Do another one! What else can you do?!” he requested and asked with his child-like enthusiasm. In the pups' eyes, it may seem that he was being a skilled diversion. That probably would have been the case if not for the fact that he wasn't trying to be. Maji was consumed by the warlock's showiness; he had almost completely forgotten his situation. Oh well.
 
Haru would look up in the sky, seeing all the chocolate raining down, and covered his body with his arm in a feeble moment of defense…for some reason, he couldn’t force the soil around him to his defense…who would have though chocolate would act differently then sand? However, before he could be hit by the chocolate rain, something seemed to form a bubble around him, blocking him away from the outside world. Soon enough he had the answers to some questions. Indeed, there were people on top of the chocolate construct, and someone did shield him from the rain. A rather nice looking Blondie even... though to be fair, he wasn’t in the best shape to be meeting ladies now.

Regardless of whatever ideas Haru had in his head, they all went away as he was questioned by the busty blonde, as well as being poked at by his savior from a few moments ago. He gasped a bit, which in his current form sounded more like an eep of startled animal as he said “Hey! Stop! I’m a friend dang it! Smackdown is not necessary!” flailing his arms a bit to block the poke’s, still not being able to quite use his natural talents… it stopped for a moment as another person dropped down, covered in what seem to be melted chocolate…but it then continued as the giant spoke, not really hurting or anything, but becoming increasingly frustrating… and him being a short squeaky gnome didn’t help.

The cycle of trying to push away the stick continued until he felt the sticky chocolate land from the girl on his face, which startled him a bit more than it should, but he was already on edge from being harassed. What was important was that the sudden jolt of adrenaline seemed to push his chakra just where it needed to go, and suddenly a fair bit of chunks from the ground flew up, in an attempt to pelt the blonde girl with it. Wasn’t quite like his sand…but he at least didn’t feel totally helpless. Whatever effect the chocolate chip attack , the strong looking male with a very unusual arm stepped into his defense. He blinked several times as the male spoke to him, before saying in the squeaky voice while grinning wide from under his beard “Thanks for the help, hehe. Though I was getting close to being able to defend myself… and you were close, but my name isn’t…wait…”

He was confused how the male could use some random word and be so close to his name…but then he remembered…it was a long time ago, far too long then he’d like to admit…but this was a guy…but he was a gnome…but she had purple hair…and she certainly didn’t have a weird arm. Yet, he knew where the name come from…so in a hesitant voice (made unnecessarily ridiculous by the helium tone he currently had) he simple asked “Okibi? Is that you? In that case…are you a Sunan too?” he asked turning his head towards the blonde. He couldn’t really recall who this could be… even taking into account any possible body changes he could undergo. Now he was starting to get a bit worried…was their village under attack again? And was a giant chocolate thing their only way out of this mess? That boded well for sure.

Mft, Wc= 559
 
The scientist was completely amused just poking the hell out of the little gnome without any chance of letting up, or so it seemed. The creature did managed to respond to the ‘attacks’ by making the chocolate come up and pelt the blonde in his face which only cause him to poke Haru harder despite his pleas that smack downs were not necessary. In Tama’s mind, if it could control chocolate, it was a potential enemy.

However he was stopped by the white haired stud that swatted his poking hand. Tama pouted at Okibi for making him stop poking the gnome like thing, which was fun dammit, but he relented and stopped the harassing. To sit back and watch the exchange and answer his question when it came up,
I’m Ryuu Tama! Super Scientist extraordinaire! You’ve probably heard of me but no doubt that you wouldn’t be able to recognize me in this state as I am…it is a bit of a fright. I mean, me of all people a woman…but the short answer to your question is yes, I am a Sunan.<i></i>”

Bored now that there was obviously nothing too evil about the gnome he stood back up and looked up at the chocolate monster. It had so far agreed to lead them to where the warlock who was doing all this madness was but he still had his doubts – obviously. Still if there was a chance for them to at least knock out this idiot long enough to enjoy the thrills of being a woman for day he was going to have to just have faith.

That’s right, he was accepting it. No one had no idea how frustrating it was not to show the one you love how much you love them like Tama did.

So, you’ll lead us up to your boss? You sure he’s going to let you get away with that? How do we know you’re not trying to set us up for a trap? I have you know that I am a vindictive person to start with and I am now in the body of the most vindictive gender in the world. If you were to betray my trust I can’t promise I won’t do something terrible…<i></i>”
 
Okibi smiled when Haru quickly caught on to who she was. It was rather amazing, actually; it'd been so long since they'd seen each other, and back then she looked a hell of a lot different, not to mention she was female. Being in a male body had it perks (hehheh), but the longer they were in this situation, the more she was starting to feel . . . an itch. Like she really wanted to get out of her own skin. She missed being a girl, dammit!

Shaking off those thoughts, Okibi swooped in on Haru and hoisted the gnome up into her bulky arms. She grinned at him and gave him a squeeze. Tama introduced himself in a grandiose fashion, making Okibi shake her head. Silly boys. "It's been too long Hadoo. Too bad our circumstances are . . . strange, to say the least."

Holding the chibi-fied Haru in her arms like a toy, Okibi turned to the chocolate monster as Tama addressed it. She glanced at the blond when he called himself vindictive, and had to bite back a laugh. That was funny, because whenever she was with him, he seemed the very opposite of that. All she had to do was tease him a little and he lit up like a Christmas tree. Did vindictive men have those kind of tendencies? She didnt think so.

The chocolate monster fidgeted in the face of Tama's threat, and glanced at the right side of the barrier. "There's a secret passage in the wall over there. If you open the barrier up right around it, I can help you all up there." With that said, the monster lowered his one arm and held his hand against the ground, waiting for the group to climb on. Once they did, he woud lift them into the air and hold them out towards the barrier. Once Tama successfully opened up the barrier, the monster would reach out with his upturned hand and shave away some of the chocolate wall of the ravine, revealing a hidden door. He held his hand out, allowing the group to step onto the small ledge and open the door.

"Just keep going straight and you should find the magician no problem. Now, if you wouldnt mind taking down this thing completely? I would like to regenerate my arm and take a nap now."

Okibi laughed and turned away as Tama did his thing and opened up the door. Thankfully it wasnt locked; what was the point when it was hidden all the time right? She peered inside, holding onto Haru tightly as she did so. The passage was dark, barely lit by sparsely placed sconces, but nothing they couldnt traverse. "Let's go get that jackass." Okibi growled before ducking into the doorway and leaving it open for Tama.

They walked for some time, taking no turns, and going straight like the monster told them to. There were a number of other turns, and a few of them were admittedly tempting for Okibi. The scents she could make out; baked goods in one direction, grilled meats down another, and dance music down another! It reminded her of her birthday, although to be honest she couldnt remember a whole lot about that night. She did remember the dancing though! Her hips started bopping from side to side as she walked, barely containing the urge to break out in jazz hands as the music slowly faded behind them.

"This warlock guy has some strange tastes." She whispered, skipping with the last beat of the song. "Stuffed animals, desserts, monsters . . . what a weirdo."

Not too long later, Okibi came to a stop and held up her hand as another scent tickled her nose. It smelled human, with a hint of eye makeup. That had to be the guy and it was coming from the door straight ahead. When they reached it, Okibi cracked it open and peeked inside. She grinned when she spotted the wizards form seated on the ground in front of an array of mirrors. He seemed to be meditating. Like the monster said, he was helpless.

Turning around, Okibi looked at Tama and gestured at the door with a flourish. "Would you like to do the honors my dear?" She asked, bouncing Haru in her arms so she could get a better hold on him. She blinked, and then looked down at him. "Did you want a go at him too Hadoo?"

(Have at him!)

-------------------------------

The warlocks image grinned with satisfaction when Maji acknowledged that the sparkles were indeed his card. Of course it was; he was never wrong. When the boy asked what else he could do, the magician scoffed and snapped his fingers. Out of thin air popped a rectangular box that was exactly Maji's side. It floated through the air towards the warlock, and with a flick of the wrist he opened it up. "Step inside." He said, leaving no room for argument. Once the boy did as he said, the magician would snap the box shut and give it a spin in the air. While Maji spinned, he produced two large, flat sheet blades.

"Now, try not to wiggle, or you might actually feel this." And with that, he shoved the blade into the box and split them up into three pieces. Maji went floating through the air, still spinning, and would see the box with his feet sticking out of the end floating away, while the one with his torso in it spun up into the air. It might have been just a little worrying. But the warlock found it quite amusing as he floated backwards and held his gut, laughing his socks off.
 
The now-elven boy watched in amazement as the man made a large box appear out of thin air. How did he create stuff with just a snap of a finger? His sorcery was exceptional which, to the ten-year old Maji, was incredibly intriguing to him.

Even though he'd usually process or feel hesitant about entering a container that an evil warlock set up, he was too excited to even think about rejecting the man's order. The man was performing tricks – there was no room for ill will within this. Plus, it seemed like the magician was having fun, too. Maji unwittingly stepped inside and grinned exitedly. It closed shut. The rectangular box began to spin with him in it. It made him dizzy. After it was done, and with swirls in his eyes, two large, flat sheet blade appeared out of thin air. “Feel what?” he answered rhetorically. He knew what was coming next. For some reason, this trick felt a tad familiar.

Maji was sawed in half.

Although he was tempted to wiggle about out of anxiety, the warlock's warning caused his body to tense up. Soon, different parts of a dismembered and contained Maji floated about aimlessly. The wizard laughed out loud like it was no one's business. The white-haired boy would normally have shared a chuckle with hum, but he was too distracted. What kind of magic allowed you to destroy someone's body without pain or death? It was a miracle!

“How did you do this?”<i></i> he asked curiously with his mouth forming an “o” throughout. “Is this an illusion?” he asked. He believed in his heart-of-hearts that it wasn't, but if it was, it meant he could try to emulate this and attempt it someday. This would be a neat trick to get a party going if that was the case.
 
Well, it was true that the leap of judgment he had to make was a rather large one. The last time he saw Okibi she was but a child...now she was all grown up... and of course there was the issue of the gender not quite adding up, but he usually didn’t spend his days as a garden gnome, so that was understandable. Still, he remember the child in the Stewards care and how she called him, so it was the first thing to come to his mind. He was more expecting to be wrong really. Heh, funny...after so long, she was all big while he was tiny. A strange twist of fate indeed. With a chuckle he said "Far too long my dear. You’ve grown so much... Well, I think so. I’d be nice if we weren’t in this twisted place for our meeting..."

Haru let out a yelp, flailing a bit as she picked him up, but she seemed to lift him with relative ease. And to be honest, walking so long on the tiny legs he had was a bit exhausting. And while being held like a toy was a bit...well, strange, he guessed he just needed to take it as it goes. He did feel like being a bit to reclusive lately, preferring to shy away from everything rather than just go out there, and sometimes accept that the world was out there to make you feel bad. While this started out as bad as it could, it was looking up. Turning his head to the blonde self-introduced scientist, he scratched his beard (Bah, itchy thing...he needed a shave) before saying "III...have a feint recollection of the name. I think we saw each other in the library once... but you were somewhat younger back then as well..." Time did fly so fast it scared him sometimes. As the tree raised them to the hidden door, he would turn to the strange being and say "Have a good rest. and hopefully your hand will heal up soon..." before they vanished in the hidden corridor.

As they moved forward, somewhat distracted by the scents of food and sweets and the sounds of good fun, Haru looked around a bit while saying "Whoever this "Warlock" is, he seems to be quite good in doing in preforming acts not harmful to others... How did you two get stuck here anyways? Is this someone you had trouble with before? I don’t think I have...though really, I don’t know why he would make me fall into a land like this for no reason..." trying to ply catch up, though they seemed to be well on the way to wrapping up this adventure. He was just realizing how much he missed actually talking with people. As Okibi commented on the men’s mental state he couldn’t help but say " I guess ending to much time alone makes you act weird...Eeep!" he groaned finally as Okibi hoped, making him bounce around as well.

Sooner than later, they came up to the room, in which a single figure was meditating. Okibi presented the door to Tama, who seemed rather ready to take out he guy. As she asked him, he would think for a bit before saying "I think you two have a bigger bone to pick with him then me. But If you’ll need my help, I’ll be sure to forcefully stuff any sweets I can move into his stupid face" he said with a grin.
 
The scientist tightened the string on his robes and covered the bosom that kept threatening to pop out at what seemed like any second; seriously how did women deal with these things in battle?! Also deciding that bravado was an ill thing to announce before going down a dark tunnel towards what was possibly the mastermind behind this insane fantasy, the scientist kept his mouth closed even as the little gnome looking man spoke recognizing him; all he got was a knowing nod.

As for the matter of the door, it didn't really matter if it was locked, sealed, or really just even a door, in the presence of a chakra master. The blonde raised up a dainty hand and placed it gently against the surface before suddenly pulsing a large amount of nature chakra into the very atomic structure of whatever the entrance was sealed with.
Instead of explosions and flashy entrances the door just simply disintegrated into a compound powder of its material; once again his paranoia about bad luck bravado. Still without speaking the scientist gestured for the duo to make their way in before following in behind his mate.

Smells and strange sounds assaulted his senses as he traversed down the dark tunnel towards a dim light somewhere at the end. The smell of meat in particular tickled his fancy as a sudden remembrance of having not eaten since being awake struck his gut. A loud growl echoed off the caves causing the scientist to turn suddenly red and cover his stomach with both hands as if doing so would keep the sounds from announcing their presence. Tama tried to take his mind off the foods he kept smelling and just held his breath for the time being until they could get to whatever was at the end.

The scientist continued to stay silent despite wanting to say at least something about the effect Okibi's swaying hips were suddenly having on him; talk about an awkward moment. The holding of his breath wasn't doing too well for his strangely easily distracted brain as it was and he almost missed his que to finally be bad-ass by walking into the person who was going to let him take the first swing.

Tama's breath came out suddenly and he quickly jumped down from the entrance towards the warlock, realizing that his cover had probably been blown. The scientist's hands came together to start flying through a flurry of seals until his entire arms were covered in strange blue runic seals.
It was an advanced use of his sealing tag technique that had worked against the Djinn spawn back in the Battle Craft Exam, but instead of using tags, (which he didn't have), he placed the runes on his hands so that a single strong punch against the opponent's chakra would slip the seal onto them.

The blue colored fist came crashing down towards the warlock sitting there only to strike at thin air. His bi-colored eyes instantly switched to green and took their dojutsu form as they quickly scanned the area for the man responsible for giving them all so much strange hell. The caught onto their target rather quickly using the flow of the nature chakra in the room to fight against any illusion the warlock was capable of casting to keep them from doing any immediate harm. The guy was still right there in front of Tama, having moved over to the side just enough to dodge his attack but with a look of 'oh shit' skittered across his features.

A wicked grin spread across the blonde's face as he struck out with the other fist to knock the warlock hard on the noggin and making him reappear out of thin air. The seal on his arm rushed across his face to instantly paralyze any of his crazy powers as Tama tackled him. Getting on his back he wrapped his legs around the man's waist, pushed his arms up under the warlock's and rolled over so that Tama was on his back holding the wicked man there in a body lock. His small hands reached into the man's mouth and pulled it open as he grinned at Haru and said,
"Alright! Now stuff him with sweets until he spills the beans about how to get the hell out of here and get back to normal! <i></i>"
 
Okibi walked in and closed the door to the Magicians room after Tama snuck his way in. She shut it behind her, as though it were just any other day. When she turned away from the door, with Haru in her arms still, she deadpanned when she saw the state that girl!Tama and the warlock were in. Leave it to her mate to think of the silliest way to get the jerk to talk. She looked up at the rotating mirrors and noticed that the one trained on the room they were in previously was nor empty; well, of the warlock. Breaking his concentrating must have caused his projection to vanish.

Wandering into the room, Okibi set Haru down on his little feet and made for the body locked magician. "I have a better idea." She said, after Tama's 'suggestion' to Haru. Before any sweets could be stuffed anywhere, she stepped right up in front of the dark haired man, and without any warning, clocked him right in the nose. There was the sound of a very satisfying crunch, to which Okibi grinned before stepping back.

"Okay Hadoo, now you can do your thing." She said, fisting her hands on her hips and not giving a flying monkey's bananas about the pained noises the warlock made as blood dripped down his face.

After some time of Haru doing his 'thing', eventually the warlock would give in. "Okay okay! I give!" He cried. "I was just bored, thats all. I wasnt gonna hurt anyone!" Then, as best as he could, he snapped with his right hand.

Immediately, a black hole appeared below them, sucking them into the ground. Okibi looked up quickly again, and saw that another black hole had appeared in the room with Maji and the pups; it was sucking them in too. Or, in Maji's case, all of him.

They fell and fell and fell until eventually the rabit hole opened up again, dumping them on the side of one of Sunagakure's many streets. Okibi yelped when Tama landed square on her back, knocking the wind out of her. He felt a lot heavier than he had not too minutes ago. Groaning, and tried to turn on her side and shove him off, only to squeak again when more bodies nearly squashed her. She rolled out of the way just in time.

Getting to her feet, she grimaced and twisted her body around, trying to work out the kinks. She wondered if that was from Tama falling on her, or from being changed around gender wise all willy nilly. Her eyes widened when she realized her line of vision wasnt as far from the ground as before, and looked down at her chest. Grinning, she grabbed her chest and squeezed it, thankful to see her boobies back in place. Being a guy had been interesting, but she really did prefer being one of the fairer sex.

Looking up, she saw that everyone else was back to normal too. "You guys ok?" She asked them, silently cheering when her voice came out normal, and not as low in pitch.


(Sorry to start bringing this to a close to suddenly guys, but I was starting to lose drive for it since its been dragging on. Lets wrap this up shall we?)
 
Tama seemed to be focused on getting back at the Warlock rather than talking about the good old times...though he had to say, he was quite impressed with how the scientist commanded his chakra and abilities...as well as his quite...unusual technique of holding down the opponent. Still, it seemed to be quite effective. He was quite eager to start inducing some punishment on the magician...but then Okibi stepped in with some punishment of his own. The Sunaku cringed ever so slightly as she clocked him in the face. He could appreciate the raw physical strength of a body...but at the same time, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy as how flesh and muscle could damage another man. And seeing Okibi's grin... she did grow indeed. And he was grateful he didn’t cause her grief in the past. And he couldn’t help but just slightly worry what the blonde scientist got himself into.

Still, he didn’t let those dark thoughts distract him in candy land, as he began to stuff any sweets he had around down the men's throat. Though he guessed such methods of persuasion were a bit more pleasant than a broken nose. It didn’t take the men to long to give in, but before Haru could try and press the wizard for a bit more information, there was blackness forming under them... And the falling began anew.

Haru landed behind the two, this time having quite enough sand to cushion his fall...somewhat. he still groaned sitting up, his body aching...though he was pleased to see the ache was over a large area...well, sort of pleased. He was back to normal, that's what counted...though he still had the gratuitous facial hair. Gratuitous an Itchy...as Okibi spoke in a slightly more familiar voice, he turned to her with a smile saying "I’m fine, thank you. And I see you two are good as well...it’s nice to see how the two of you actually look all grown up" he said with a grin, though he averted his gaze for a second as Okibi was making sure her...assets were in order. Heh, to think he was slowly becoming the older generation guy now...he really needed to shave. After being so small, he felt weird being so big.
