Village of the cliff
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto but i do own the characters in this fic.
The story so far; Master Shu and a handful of his ninjas are half way through building their new village. Ryozo is still on a mission to recruit new ninjas to defend this village and villagers to keep it running; he has recently saved a ninja called Jimmy.
"You really don't need to follow me," said Ryozo as he jumped from tree branch to tree branch.
"I know, but I want to return the favour of you saving me, besides I know where there might be some villagers looking for somewhere to stay," said Jimmy who was quite far behind Ryozo, but trying his best to keep up.
"Thank you but if you told me where they were I could do it myself, plus if you go back now you can help out with the build, meaning you get to design your own place," said Ryozo trying to tempt his new found stalker, "You can return your favour that way, by helping out there."
"I know and don't worry I will help out as much as I can when I get there, but right now these people, well some of them are ninjas and they don't like new people and you said your after more ninja," replied Jimmy as if he wasn't listening completely to Ryozo.
"Ok, ok, so where are they then?" asked Ryozo suddenly realising that he wasn't going to win.
"In the village coming up, but be careful, it's full of dirty people," said Jimmy forgetting that he was talking to a ninja who knows how to look after himself.
"Haha, ok thanks for the heads up," laughed off Ryozo still able to duck out of every branch that came across his path.
20 minutes later.
"So this is the famous slime town?" asked Ryozo as he looked around the gloomy, dark, broken down place that shouldn't even be called anything but a dump yard. He stood there watching all the people walk past him; every single one of them was looking down on the floor and keeping the other eye on everyone around them, as their glances kill any bit of soul these depressive beings once had, he also saw a bunch of people with unusual weapons and headbands from villages he had never knew existed; this made him hungry for the knowledge of their secrets.
"So I'll go and get those people for you," said Jimmy and before anything could be replied he was gone.
"Hmm at least he keeps his word," whispered Ryozo to himself as he started walking down the busy main road.
"Hey you there, come back with my weapon" shouted a voice from far away. Next thing Ryozo knew a guy came running past him carrying what looked like three swords wrapped round each other.
"Get lost, this is my weapon, I designed it, you still aint paid for it," said the running man who was soon followed by a larger man wrapped up in a purple cloth that revealed a large spike on his right shoulder.
"Give it me back Usep, I told you I'll pay for it after I've done this mission which I can't do if you have my weapon," said the large man which caused the first running man to stop and turn, he looked like he was eighteen; wearing green trousers with scrolls going down both sides, a cream t-shirt, a dark green vest with more scrolls going down his torso, on his back was two larger scrolls; one green and the other blue, he also had spiked up black hair with a red feather sticking out and round his forehead was a village of the waterfall headband.
"Urm let me think........ hmmmmm................. NO, haha," laughed Usep, then without any warning the larger guy charged at the scroll wearing man while moving his hands into signals.
"Earth style: malice mace," shouted out the larger guy who soon became encased in a round rock shell that grew spikes out of random places; still charging to Usep who just stood in his place smiling until the ball was about two feet away then he pulled out the second green scroll on his right leg, pulling it open all the while doing two hand signals and then placing it back onto the scroll.
"Castor shield," whispered Usep still smirking, then in a puff of purple smoke nothing could be seen; as soon as it all cleared all that could be seen was the larger man on the floor and a huge metal beast face which soon disappeared; revealing Usep behind it laughing his head off.
"Haha people should know better," said a man from the gathered crowd.
"Come on man you know how great my weapons are," said Usep who just simply turned around and started walking off, Ryozo didn't know what just happened and didn't really care but he was interested in this Usep guy and wanted him on his side.
"So that was quite skilful, would you like to expand your skill by becoming a member of a new village that is forming quite close to here?" asked Ryozo who had suddenly caught up with Usep.
"HAHA, who are you? If you haven't noticed I don't need to expand I'm already fantastic," replied Usep who continued to walk on.
"Yes you are fantastic but this is a chance to design a complete uniform for an entire village, weapons for guards, you can let your imagination go wild and you will be in charge, now you have to say that is an impressive offer," stated Ryozo who continued to follow Usep and starting to feel alot like Jimmy from earlier.
"Yeah it is but I don't need to, here my skills can do whatever they want and go where ever I want," replied Usep who was still no paying much attention.
"Oh you mean like working for people who don't pay like you did just a minute ago? At least if you accept my offer you will be paid very highly and we will let you go anywhere you want; in reason especially if you call it research, I mean I'm interested in ninja weaponry too," said Ryozo as he showed his bracelet and revealing a tip of a hidden blade.
"Hmm ok I guess you have a point, so I can do whatever I want in designs? And I can design the whole village ninja outfit and weapons?" asked Usep who had now found himself stopping for once.
"Yes on both accounts," replied Ryozo smiling like he had just won a battle.
"Ok I guess it can't hurt, I'm in, I got kicked out of my old village anyway, haha," laughed off Usep.
