Dotage Rainen [Akatsuki Member]

Name: Fuuton: Totupuu Tate (Wind Release: Gust Shield)
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu

Description: The user performs a quick string of handseals and unleashes a gust of wind in every direction, repelling projectiles standard projectiles and sweeping nearby enemies of their feet.

Name: Fuuton: Kiyouheikiko (Wind Release: Wind-Enhanced Arsenal)
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: This is simply said the ability to enhance standard ninja tools by breathing out wind chakra onto them. Danzo has displayed the ability to do this in his fight with Sasuke. If the user enhanced senbon with this jutsu, the needles will gain a white glow and will gain additional piercing potential, being now able to pierce a human body. In a kunai’s case, a veil of wind chakra will be formed around the knife increasing its sharpness and its reach to the point of a standard katana. Finally, if it is used on a shuriken, it will cause a veil of slicing wind to surround the spinning weapon. This makes it sharp enough to cut through trees, rock and armor, as well as extending its range. A very versatile jutsu.

Name: Fuuton: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: his is a relatively simple technique that creates a sudden gust of wind, but its scale varies greatly depending on the user. If used by a superior shinobi, it has enough destructive power to knock down a large tree. The wind from the squall can blow away all things in the user's line of sight.

Name: Fuuton: Shinkūyaiba (Wind Release: Vacuum Blade)
Rank: C
Type: Kenjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: This is one Rainen’s signature “Ninkenjutsu” abilities. A jutsu performed without handseals, Rainen channels wind chakra through his scythe and releases It during a slash. This causes a strong, slicing gust of wind in the scythe’s trajectory that will travel forward for 5 feet before diminishing. The fact that no handseals are required makes this jutsu ideal for close range combat.

Name: Fuuton: Uzumaki Tsurugi (Wind Release: Vortex Cutter)
Rank: B
Type: Kenjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: This is one Rainen’s signature “Ninkenjutsu” abilities. Rainen channels wind chakra through his scythe and performs a 360 degrees slash, spinning on one foot. This whips up a slicing gust of wind that entirely surrounds him like a tornado, leveling anything within 20 feet of him.

Name: Fuuton: Kamashiyarin (Wind Release: Scythe Wheel)
Rank: B
Type: Kenjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: This is one Rainen’s signature “Ninkenjutsu” abilities. Rainen channels wind chakra through his scythe and jumps into the air. In a split second he brings his body together pressing his knees against his stomach while pointing his scythe outward. He then rolls forward, gaining immense speed as he flashes through the air like a human shuriken. The speed is immense, but the user cannot stir or see, therefore Rainen usually cancels this jutsu as soon as he notices he has missed his target.

Name: Fuuton: Shinkūgyoku (Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere)
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: The user takes a deep breath and then exhales several small blasts of wind chakra in such a manner that they are dispersed over an expansive range, enough to make it difficult to avoid them entirely without taking any damage. Due to the properties of this technique, the expelled blasts are capable of piercing into and potentially through an opponent's flesh when they collide, in a similar manner to how bullets function.

Name: Fuuton: Shinkūha (Wind Release: Vacuum Wave)
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: The user takes a deep breath and exhales the wind chakra compressing the released air into a solitary blade of wind. The blade’s trajectory can be manipulated by moving the head while the wind is being exhaled.

Name: Fuuton: Daikamisoku (Wind Release: Great God’s Breath)
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: After making the required handseals, the user will take a deep breath and exhale a large blast of wind capable of slicing an area of up to twenty square meters in front of user.

Name: Fuuton: Harikēn Kama (Wind Release: Hurricane Sickle)
Rank: A
Type: Kenjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: This is one Rainen’s signature “Ninkenjutsu” abilities. Rainen further enhances his scythe with wind chakra. He will allow the chakra-absorbing metal to store wind chakra creating a visible layer of chakra around the scythe, even forming a second blade at the other end of the pole, pointing in the opposite direction of the real blade, allowing Rainen to throw it as a boomerang. The maximum range for this is fifteen meters. The scythe will become so sharp it can slice through solid rock, trees and metal. It also gains increased durability, enabling it to resist the Kiba blades and allowing him to block A-rank techniques or up to B-rank lightning techniques with it. With this jutsu active, the cutting power and range of Vacuum Blade is increased. The slash now travels ten meters forward and can easily slash a human body clad in armor in half. Lasts for five posts.

Name: Fuuton: Saikuron Odori (Wind Release: Cyclone Dance)
Rank: S
Type: Kenjutsu
Element: Fuuton
Description: This technique can only be used while Hurricane Sickle is active. Rainen will start spinning around while unleashing the stored wind energy, causing an actual cyclone, twenty meters thick and fourty meters high, to surround him. He can still move in this form, and the cyclone will travel with him, but because he is spinning and in the middle of a tornado, this technique leaves Rainen virtually blind. Lasts for about twenty seconds. The cyclone can destroy almost anything in its path save for other defensive S-rank techniques. It functions like a normal tornado in that it sucks people who come within ten meters into it. This can be avoided by focusing chakra on the feet to stick to the ground, although with the tornado's strong suction power it will cost the user alot of chakra to stay on the ground, virtually draining him/her if he stands within ten meters for the full duration, costing him/her 75% of his/her chakra. This is only for the full duration. If one manages to get out of range, the ammount of chakra lost is 3% per second. If a human body gets caught in the tornado it will be sliced into hundreds of pieces in a few seconds. S-rank techniques can break through the howling winds and reach Rainen, although their power will be slightly weakened. The cooldown is five posts after the technique is used.

Name: Doton: Doyari (Earth Release: Earth Style Lance)
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Doton
Description: After performing the needed handseals the user will summon a stone pike from the earth that can be used as a weapon.

Name: Doton: Mogura Giyorai (Earth Release: Mole Torpedo)
Rank: C

Name: Doton: Koku Bunshin (Earth Release: Rock Clone)
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Doton
Description: After the required handseals, the user creates a clone made of rock and earth. The clone has about one tenth of the user’s strength, and when destroyed it will crumble apart into a pile of rock.

Name: Doton: Koku Dangan (Earth Release: Rock Bullets)
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Doton
Description: After doing the required handseals, the user will spit small stone bullets from his/her mouth in a machinegun-like fashion. The bullets can pierce through flesh.. The stream of bullets will last for about two seconds, and a total of thirty bullets are shot.

Name: Doton: Doryuu Heki (Earth Release: Earth Style Wall)
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Doton
Description: After the required handseals, the user makes a wall of earth rise up in front of him or her. The big wall is useful for blocking attacks.

Name: Doton: Doryuu Maruyane (Earth Release: Earth Style Dome)
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Doton
Description: After the required handseals, earth rises around the user and forms a solid dome big enough for about three people to stand in. A solid jutsu that provides protection from all directions.

Name: Doton: Zou Gunjin (Earth Release: Statue Soldier)
Rank: S
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Doton
Description: A defensive technique, the user performs a number of handseals and slams the ground. This will make a large hollow statue rise around the user, about the size of a house. The statue looks like a soldier and the hard, chakra infused stone makes it able to resist up to S-rank jutsu. If the jutsu is of the lightning nature, earth’s weakness, the highest rank of jutsu the statue can withstand is A. The statue doesn’t break or disappear, thus trapping the user. Therefore this jutsu is perfect in unison with Underground Submarine Voyage since it allows the user to easily escape the stone prison. This techique consumes a large ammount of chakra.

Name: Uchimakasu (Overpower)
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: None
Description: A simple yet effective taijutsu attack. If the opponent attempts to punch the user anywhere, the user will ball his or her fist and counters the punch with a punch of his or her own. When the two fists meet, the person with the highest physical strength will break the other persons hand. This jutsu is best used when the user possesses great physical strength.

Name: Tobikomu (Dive)
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: None
Description: A simple yet effective taijutsu attack. This jutsu is used to counter an opponent’s attack by jumping. After jumping over the opponents taijutsu or kenjutsu strike, the user will make a back flip and plant his or her heel into the back of the recovering opponent’s neck.

Name: Urokeru (Sky Kick)
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: None
Description: A simple yet effective taijutsu attack. This jutsu is used to counter an opponent’s attack by dropping backward onto the ground. As the opponents attack passes over the user, the user catches himself with his arms and pushes himself upward while tilting his legs and feet diagonally upward. If successful, the user will plant his two feet in the opponents chest.

Name: Shindou (Tremor)
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: None
Description: A simple yet effective taijutsu attack that is only useable if the user possesses great physical strength. It is simply a full-powered punch to the earth causing stone and rubble to rise in a circle about ten meters surrounding the user. This will shape a small crater and cause enemies within the range to topple over if they are standing on the ground.

Name: Nibuiyaiba (Blunt Blade)
Rank: D
Type: Kenjutsu
Element: None
Description: Using his formidable strength, Rainen hits the opponent with the blunt side of his scythe’s blade. Because of Rainen’s strength and the hard materials of the scythe, a full-powered swing can break the bones of whatever body part it hits.

Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Description: Similar to the Clone Technique, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original.

Name: Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion)
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Description: The user blows up one of his shadow clones, causing an explosion at the clones location. The size of the explosion is considerable.

Name: Shuriken Kage Bunshin (Shuriken Shadow Clones)
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Description: The user creates a thousand shadow clones from one shuriken, striking down the enemy. This is a technique that combines ninja tools with ninjutsu. Compared to normal shadow clones, clones of material objects are said to be on a far higher level. There is no need for preparations beforehand, like stocking up on shuriken, yet since the shadow clones are real and not illusions, all the shadow blades that fly around are equally lethal. Because the clones form in just an instant, completely evading them is next to impossible.

Name: Rasengan (Spiral Sphere)
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Description: The Rasengan does not require any hand seals to use, relying only on the chakra control of the user. Once it is complete, it becomes self-sustaining, which does not give the Rasengan a definite limit like the Chidori. The compacted nature and moving speed of the chakra allows the Rasengan to grind into whatever it comes in contact with to inflict major damage. This tends to launch the target backward after being hit or, if the target is lying on the ground or being launched to the ground, the destructive force is enough to form a crater.

Birth and Academy Arc


Rainen had an interesting childhood. He was born as not just the eldest son of the leader of the Dotage clan, which was more of a revered family like the Uzumaki and the Sarutobi, but as the son of Dotage Zouen. Aside from his position as head of the big and influential Dotage clan, Zouen was an elder and advisor to the Kazekage. An elitist, Zouen held his clan in very high regard and had nothing but contempt for the “ordinary” people. Secretly, Zouen loathed the Kazekage for being a peaceful individual, often arguing with him about the way the village should be ruled. In Zouen’s vision, the village should be a strict and disciplined village with the “ordinary” shinobi’s only purpose being to protect and serve the higher branches of society. With their lives if they must. He also wasn’t satisfied with the military status of the village, being paranoia believing Suna should attack the other villages before they could attack Suna. To this end he even created an own organization of shinobi similar to Root, called Minamoto (the Source)

The Source’s main goal was to gain enough power for a coup d’etat. Their ranks consisted mostly of Dotage clan members, especially in the higher branches, but ordinary shinobi simply could also be found in the lower ranks. To this end they would carry out secret mission that would further their goals even If they went against the village’s policy or the village itself.


Zouen’s personality as a warmonger was also reflected in how he raised his eldest son. From the moment Rainen entered the ninja academy, not only did the boy receive training during class, but at home he was also viciously trained by his father. And whereas academy students generally start with theory, Zouen taught his son the ways of the ninja by having him fight other shinobi, mostly prisoners of war. At first Rainen, being a novice as he was, lost most of his battles against the captive shinobi being saved by his dad only seconds before he would actually die, allowing the opponent to beat him up. After every battle he lost, Rainen was forced to write a small essay about his mistakes and how he lost, to improve his strategic thinking and help him recognize and learn from his own mistakes. The mother did nothing to stop this, being afraid of her husband.


One thing that greatly affected Rainen and made him afraid of failing was when a shinobi came to report to his father about how he had failed a mission to hire a large band of missing-nin. This happened while the family was enjoying dinner. Much to the surprise of Rainen, the shinobi was beheaded on the spot by Zouen, who claimed that the shinobi world didn’t need those who failed to complete their missions.


Genin Arc


After a few years, his dad’s intense training showed their results as Rainen graduated from the academy with the best grades of his class. His father praised him and told him he was proud of the boy, but also warned him that the father’s training regiments were going to become more strict as Rainen needed to become a worthy Kazekage. See, Zouen was getting older, and his age started hampering his progress as a shinobi. He realized it was pointless to claim the throne himself on his age as his rule would be very short lived. Instrad, he focused completely on making Rainen a fit Kazekage. He would often tell Rainen that becoming Kazekage was his birthright.


By the age of thirteen, among his fellow genin Rainen had the reputation of a spoiled brat. This because even though his father was strict in training, he also allowed Rainen to freely abuse his position as the son of an influential elder to let him get used to being a leader and a lord. To this end, Rainen almost always got what he wanted, be it his final word in an argument or material wealth, one flick his father’s wrist and he would get it. This made him not very popular among his teammates, as during missions it became completely clear that Rainen held his own life in much higher regard than those of his teammates.

To this end, after one year as a genin Rainen’s entire team would be qualified for the chuunin exams save for Rainen himself, due to his total lack of teamwork. When Rainen told his father about this, the jounin was punished and Rainen was placed among the exams nonetheless, being promoted to chuunin due to his fighting abilities which were advanced for his age and his cunning battle intelligence.


Chuunin Arc

During his chuunin times, Rainen’s arrogant father became less and less popular with the normal crowd, and it wasn’t strange for the young man to hear people badmouth Zouen on the streets. Rainen, having become very loyal to his father, easily became very pissed about this and often got into fights with people who talked bad about his father in his presence. In this he didn’t care whether the person was a shinobi or not, he just angrily attacked. As a result, he got into lots of trouble with authority, with his dad usually there to get him out.

Now a chuunin, Zouen started pitting his son against himself rather than prisoners. But just as Rainen expected the man to go easy on him, he was surprised to find Zouen going all out on him, beating him to a life’s inch. Later, when the boy was being healed by the village’s medics, Zouen appeared by his bed and spoke to him the following words.


“Does it hurt? Good. Pain reminds one of one’s mistakes! I want you to concentrate on this pain and think about the mistakes you made during our battle. Even if you dislike it now, in the end it will make you stronger. Make you fit to hold the title that is your birthright with pride.”


After that, he left. Rainen started working harder and harder, rising above most other chuunin in power and holding a big grudge towards those that still overshadowed him. Nonetheless Rainen was promoted to the rank of jounin at the age of 17.

Jounin Arc

Rainen was a jounin and was beginning to get his father’s acknowledgement. His father trusted him enough to officially include him in Minamoto and give him special missions. These missions often went against the village’s policy and were more concerned with strengthening the organization rather than serving the Kage.

These missions only strengthened Rainen’s feeling of self-importance, as he was placed in a four-man squad with him as leader. The loyal members of Minamoto were willing to sacrifice themselves for Rainen’s life, seeing him as the future Kazekage, or for Zouen’s ideals in general. This even happened on one instance.

The squad was tasked with robbing the grave of the first Kazekage. Zouen wanted to implant this man’s cells into himself and eventually Rainen to use the man’s kekkei genkai. However the grave’s stone door was protected by Fuuinjutsu that simply alerted the village about the attempted grave robbery.

A jounin squad arrived quickly to deal with the grave robbers. Although Rainen’s squad was under the effects of Henge no Jutsu, prolonged fighting would dispel the jutsu. If the rest of the village would find out about Minamoto, Zouen’s plans would be foiled. The squad was quick to realize this. As soon as the enemy squad arrived, one of the Minamoto members sealed distracted the squad allowing the others to escape. Once Rainen and the other two got to safety, the Minamoto member performed a powerful self-destruct jutsu that killed the entire enemy squad.

Rainen reluctantly returned home to tell his father he had failed. For this, he received punishment. Although he wasn’t beheaded (Despite being ruthless and cold, Zouen still loved his son) he did receive a beating. The rest of the squad was less lucky, however.

Death of Zouen Arc

Suddenly, something drastic happened. When Rainen was seventeen, things weren’t going well with the clan. The Kazekage had discovered some of Minamoto’s secret missions, and this combined with Zouen’s harsh behavior led to a fierce argument between the two, ending with Zouen being expelled from the council. As punishment for Zouen’s secret projects, the Dotage clan lost all of its influences. The frustration about this caused Zouen’s plans for a coup d’etat to be hastened to only a few days after this occurred.


Thus Source raided the Kage building. For a day the battle raged, during which Rainen, fiercely loyal to his father, butchered anyone who opposed Zouen. If beating up anyone who badmouthed his father during his genin and chuunin times was enough to make him unpopular, the young man’s ruthless extermination against anyone on the people’s side, not just shinobi but civilians too, made him almost as hated as Zouen himself.


In the end, both Zouen and the Kage realized that the fighting had done enough damage to the village and its populations. So the two agreed to let their differences be decided in one single battle. Both of them faced each other on top of the kage building in a fight to the death. The battle that followed was spectacular, but in the end Zouen bit the dust to a superior opponent. In his dying breath, however, he ordered Rainen to finish off the weakened Kage. Rainen blindly obeyed, and threw himself at Kage from the Kage’s blind spot. However, due to Rainens surprised the strike was blocked by no one else but his own mother. It turned out the mother, fed up with Zouen’s ways, had secretly undermined him and was the one who told the Kage about Minamoto’s actions.

Rainen realized it was hopeless and that his one chance at getting a lucky strike at the kage was ruined. His mother tried to reason with him, but in Rainen’s eyes the woman was a traitor. So he fled the village with a few remaining Minamoto members. For his deeds during the coup d’etat and his attempted attack on the kage, Rainen was branded an S-ranked missing-nin and a dangerous criminal.

Missing-nin Arc

The leftover Minamoto group began plotting their revenge. Their simple plan was to accept missions from small, backwater countries that were low on military power and therefore didn’t mind hiring criminals to do their jobs. They would raise funds like this until they would be able to hire more forces to attack Suna. This went on for about a year.

In that year the group had gathered a great deal of money that they could use for their invasion, but it was not nearly enough. However, their great activity in the lower countries had also reached the ears of Suna, who dispatched a group of shinobi to deal with them. This particular group was led by Rainen’s mother, who volunteered for the job. Thus, while they were traveling through the outer reaches of the Wind Country in their way to another backwater village, they were attacked!

The battle was a big one, during which the surrounding landscape suffered a lot of damage and a local farm village was even torn to shreds. However in the end Minamoto was outnumbered. Near the end of the battle, the three remaining Minamoto members, including Rainen, were cornered. Rainen’s mother stepped forward, and once again offered the boy redemption, and promised to be a real mother from now on.

But the boy was already too much brainwashed. He honestly believed in Zouen’s vision of the village and had already promised the old man he would do anything to live up to his expectations. As a reply, he simply spat in his mother’s face and told her to go **** herself. However, ever since she finally stood up against Zouen’s ideals, she had changed into a stronger woman. She realized Rainen was a lost cause, and although it killed her from the inside, she realized this was a moment where she had to put aside her emotions for the good of the village.

So she ordered the shinobi to kill the remaining Minamoto members, leaving the site herself because she didn’t want to see her son die. However in that final moment, the remaining Minamoto members once again proved to be loyal enough to sacrifice them for their future Kazekage, jumping in front of one of the shinobi’s blades before telling Rainen with their last breath to “Flee and make Zouen-sama’s ideals come true”. This is exactly what Rainen did.

Nowadays Rainen still plots to take over the hidden sand, training his ass off and trying to find allies to finish what his dad had started.

Trouble was heading for Sunagakure no Sato. The village’s massive cliff walls could be seen rising from the desert from miles away. These walls provided the village with both protection and security. From these high walls, patrolling shinobi would be able to see anyone who was closing in on the village from miles away, making it nearly impossible to sneak up on it. Nearly, that is. Granted, on a clear, pleasant evening like this traveling above the surface would make one completely visible to anyone standing on Suna’s walls. Above the surface, that is. Unknown to the sentries patrolling the cliffs, a threat closed in on Suna, moving towards the village from under the dunes. It was Rainen. Using Doton to travel underground, he was closing in on the village quickly. This technique was one of Rainen’s favorites. It took surprisingly little chakra yet it could be used in more ways than can be counted on two hands.

Rainen had a plan. A plan to start a war between Oto and Suna. He had been plotting to destroy his former village for two years. To this end he had joined the Akatsuki, a powerful organization composed of some of the world’s most dangerous criminal shinobi. Deadly as this group was, however, S-ranked criminal named Rainen wasn’t satisfied. The organizations had other priorities than the destruction of Oto, and Rainen couldn’t wait for them to finish those. He was impatient. He would set in motion the engine of the Sound’s destruction himself! Otogakure no Sato was a mighty village nowadays, having defeated both Iwagakure and Kumogakure in its rise to power. Rainen knew that. He had contributed to those victories himself! He had been fighting on the front lines in the war versus Kumogakure no Sato. Yes, Oto was strong, therefore it needed a strong enemy. Sunagakure had recently opened its gates to missing-nin looking for a second chance. Even outside of Akatsuki, there were a lot of incredibly powerful missing-nin walking around in the shinobi world. Some of which indeed heeded the Kage’s call. These shinobi greatly added to Suna’s military power, making it the perfect enemy against Oto

In the meantime, Rainen had reached Suna and was now traveling underneath the walls. As soon as he popped up at the other side of it, standing behind a tall building, he instantly performed a quick, one handed seal. All that was required for the simple Transformation Technique. In an instant the young man in the Akatsuki cloak with his blue hair was transformed in an entirely other person. A man in his thirties with blonde, short hair and a scar on his chin. He wore the typical Otogakure outfit and an Otogakure headband. In this disguise, the plan was to damage the village and raise hell, then retreat before he would get caught. But he would make sure people would get a clear glimpse of his Otogakure headband. That would pit Suna against Otogakure. And with hints about an allegiance soon, so would Akatsuki…

He was going to use as little chakra as possible, however. There was a chance he might get into a fight against an equal opponent, maybe even the new Kage himself. In that case, he would need all his chakra. Luckily both Underground Submarine Voyage and Transformation were very chakra-efficient so Rainen’s chakra reserves were as good as full. And with that, Rainen dashed off. To the kage building he went. The best way to start a war was to attempt an assassination on the new Kazekage, or Dezatokage as he apparently changed the name of the rank. Of course all he would do was attempt assassination with one attack and retreat afterwards.

And so, after sneaking through the village trying to find the most abandoned route he could take, silencing the occasional lonely civilian by slitting their throat with a kunai before they could react, the disguised Rainen had reached the Kage building. He didn’t mind the trail of blood he had left behind. Someone would come across it soon enough, but that was fine. He WANTED to be discovered. Just not before he had staged his assassination-attempt on the Dezatokage.

Now came the moment. He had to be quick. He had to reach the kage building’s balcony, the one that leaded to the Dezatokage’s office. However going in from the inside would definitely get him spotted with the abundance of shinobi crawling around in there. So his best option was to scale the building’s wall using chakra to maintain his grip while walking vertically. However that, too, would leave him with a risk of getting caught. Just as Rainen was considering other idea’s, he heard a distant scream. A woman’s scream. Someone had discovered one of the corpses. Rainen smiled. He owed that woman a thanks. Now the attention of every shinobi in the village would be directed to the source of this scream. No one would watch the Kage building! So Rainen dashed. With speed typical to an S-rank melee specialist but insane for a normal human and impressive, though traceable, to a jounin’s trained eyes, Rainen dashed up the building. He didn’t waste a single second, gratefully using the woman’s diversion to its fullest.

And landed on the balcony to the Kage’s office. Now for the assassination attempt and he would be out of here in an instant. Rainen had barely landed or he opened op a summoning scroll making a swarm of kunai burst through the window that led to the Kage’s office. Some of the kunai had explosive tags attached to them, and the explosions would immediately alert the village, as well as increasing the killing potential of the attack. Of course Rainen didn’t expect someone powerful enough to hold the position of Kage to die that easily, but the added killing power made the assassination attempt look more believable, making it seem like the assassin really tried.
