"Just let me down where no-one will notice us." Jago said.
He peered at the sky above them, then the water below. Seems like just last week that the young warrior was unwinding after the Ultratech deal, scented candles and aromatic herbs to help cleanse his mind, body, and spirit adorning the little alcove he built himself in order to isolate himself on those special days.
Then, flashes of the Tiger Spirit, as he knew it then...morphing into the twisted visage of Gargos. Even in death, the gargoyle-like tyrant mocked him to near infinity. His vessel had been destroyed in the last Killer Instinct tournament...but his soul permeated and implanted itself into Jago's self. He has to live every day, knowing that his greatest enemy is a part of him for so long as Jago draws breath in this world. Not even freaky time travel would have been able to escape Gargos's supernatural power.
Jago sighed to himself. So much on his shoulders at one time could kill those with less resolve, but perseverance...and faith in the greater good...will be a vital part of his life.

"Okay, Naruko- I mean Naruto!" She said trying to apologize as you left, and went to a nearby clothing store.
--------------------
"I found this." Silver Samurai says handing you a black kimono/gown hybrid with a blue obi, and blue butterfly pattern.
--------------------
Derpy sets you down in a nearby allyway before taking off back into the sky. You start to leave the allyway only to be cut off by three cyborg thugs in the allyway. "Yo, man, what you doin in Iron Tiger territory wearing that ninja getup." The leader a man with 4 spider legs says.

Naruto
-Oh... no, no, it's alright! You... don't have to apologize. After what just happened, it's only natural to be confused. I, I guess 'Naruto' does sounds a bit weird for a girl, does it?, Naruto said as they were walking towards Ramen Ichiraku. After a few seconds of thinking, she added:
-"Naruko"... I think I like it. Who knows... maybe that would have been my name if I had been a girl right from the start. Do... you think it suits me?
Before Hinata could answer, the blonde-haired girl looked on the side:
-Hey, check this out. This store sells clothes similar to mine. I wonder if there are some that might fit this body better... (She paused, looking back at Hinata) Oops, sorry... So, yeah, what do you think?

Right after the Pegasus lands Jago in a secluded area, trouble shows up. A cybernetic trio of hoods surround the Tibetan warrior, harboring ill will for supposedly having an uninvited guest in their "territory". Cyborgs...just like Fulgore....They also mentioned "Tiger"...this did not really sit well with Jago. It's as though his past experiences in Killer Instinct were coming to haunt him subliminally. He sighed.
"I apologize, for I had no idea this land belonged to your group." he said, then switching to a slight matter-of-fact tone. "Last time I checked, this was property of the country. Now, I do not want any violence to erupt. If you let me go, we can all leave content and hopefully never have a confrontation like this again. If you hear me out, I will be most appreciative."
================================= HEALTH: 3/3 ENERGY: 9/9 REGEN.: 3/3
ACTION 1: I'll use 2 stones of Social Skills, Good Will specialty, to diffuse the shaky situation.

(OOC: Meph, GA, understand I'm not ignoring you... I'm just gonna try and speed up Gig getting over to where you are.)
Naruto
"I... Guess a female version of what you wear would be nice." Hinata said. "Maybe with some short-shorts to show off your legs-" She cuts herself off realizing she had just said that out loud!
You manage to find some clothes very similar to what Hinata mentioned. Save for ninja-boots in your new size. "Sorry Miss, a bunch of Pink ponies swarmed into the store, and cleaned me out of all our women's size boots, said something about a mass ninja cosplay party." He says this with a completely serious face.

Naruto?
"I... Guess a female version of what you wear would be nice. Maybe with some short-shorts to show off your legs-"
Hinata's words, followed by her expression after realizing her own words, brought some red to Naruto's cheeks. What if Kurama was right? What if Hinata didn't mind that she was to be a girl from then on? Heck, what if she preferred her that way?
-Yeah... you're probably right, I think it'd suit me. And... I think I'll also change my name to what you said earlier. Naruko... I can totally see it. Especially since it's you who came up with it, she added with a warm smile.
After looking through the clothes, she eventually found what she was looking for. Practical, yet sexy, while still being a lot like her style. A bit like the Kunoichi, Mitarashi Anko, including the fishnet shirt. She also found a longcoat similar to the one she had before, but of her new size.
As they were looking for shoes to go with it, they were told a rather surprising revelation, regarding the fact none could be find in the store... due apparently to a bunch of pink ponies.
-Uhh... okay. Sure... it's no problem... I'll come back later, or look elsewhere.
She paid the man for her sets of clothes, and waved him good-bye as they left, whispering to Hinata:
"There are some pretty weird things going on around the village, lately, y'know?"
As they resumed walking towards Ishiraku, Naruto fell more silent, unless Hinata spoke to her; in fact, she was mentally getting ready to admitting her feelings for her.

OOC: Since I'm not sadistic, I'll make it so you changed into your new outfit in the store.
Hinata smiled. "I'm glad you think so, Naruko. Ummm anyway we should head to Ichi-"
You are cut off by a blinding pain in your eyes, far greater than any headache you have ever felt.
"Naruto, are you al-" Hinata is cut off as a hulking figure punches her hard in the stomach and heaves her over his shoulder. He's a large man, clearly european, dressed in leather with a greasy black ponytail, his teeth are horrible as if he never brushed or flossed his entire life, yet are all still there. The most telling feature is the series of crude staples covering a massive scar on his neck.
"Hmmm, so you're one of the Nine too... I was expecting someone more manly." He says in a deep brutish, and sadistic voice. "I could just kill you right here, but I think getting you, and the Horse will be far more fun." He laughs. "Want your friend, come and get me!" He yells before leaping off into the sky.
He's getting away, with your girl in hand!

(OOC: Alrighty then. ^_^ If we had made it to Ichiraku, I would have changed somewhere around there using a Genjutsu, but I'm fine with changing at the store.)
Naruko
The splitting headache stuns Naruko long enough for a mysterious, hulking man to punch Hinata hard in the stomach and take her away by leaping high. Gritting her teeth, she screamed in anger and fear for her friend!
-NooooOOOOOOO!!!! HINATAAAAAAA!!
"Be careful, Narut- Naruko... Hinata's rather tough. If he knocked her out in one punch, he must be strong", warned Kurama in her mind.
Nobody harmed her friends. Especially not Hinata. Especially not then, not now! She'd never allow that bastard, whoever he was, to take her away... Not if she had anything to say about that!
Not waiting for a second, she ran quickly, leapt, and crossed both hands' index and middle fingers with the others, the clone hand seal:
-Kage Bushin no Jutsu!
A pair of Naruko clones appeared in mid-air; the first grabbed Naruko and the other clone, and threw them with as much strength as she could muster towards the man. Immediately after, the thrown clone unleashed a powerful chakra-charged punch at the man, while Naruko herself did her best to force the man to let go of her and catch her as she'd fall, with her in her arms (if all went well)! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 6/6 P.L: 3/3 E: 30/30 P.L: 9/9
3 stones into Power Level to gain 2 additional actions;
9 stones (Efficient) into Acrobatics; 6 into defense, 3+2 from leaping to jump in the air, as I spend...
2 stones into Kage Bushin no Jutsu to create 2 clones;
Clone 1: 5 stones of Chakra + 13 stones (Efficient) into Ninja, split into 9 stones to throw Naruko and Clone #2 towards the man and Hinata;
Clone 2: 5 stones of Chakra + 13 stones (Efficient) into Ninja, all 18 stones into punching the man in the face;
(back to me) 7 stones into Chakra, combined with...
13 stones (Efficient) into Ninja, 15 to force the man to let go of Hinata, and 3 to catch her and hold her in my arms as I fall, 2 into defense.
End E: 12/30 P.L: 0/9 Defense: 20 (4 Ref.Dodge, 4 Toughness [No 2x damage], 1 Flexible skeleton, 1 Power Level, 2 Ninja Uniform, 8 into defense) Mental Defense +10 (4 Intelligence, 6 Mental Defense) Energy Defense +3 Genjutsu Defense +7

Your clone socks him hard, and you manage to catch Hinata... He slowly falls down then he... Starts flying, and you stop falling You feel yourself being pulled forward and following the man, he turns and looks at you, and you see a very ramiliar purple rippled pair of eyes.
"Come on! Let's have some fun!" He yells. "You're one of the nine with me right! Come on, why don't you dance with The Kurgan!" He says as you find yourself flying over the streets of tokyo.
(OOC: You are currently hundreds of feet over Tokyo in The Kurgan's telekinetic grip.)

ooc: It's ok, Since were not in the same area It doesn't really matter ^^
Haku
Haku took the cloth Silver samourai was handing her and put them on quickly, motionning for the man to turn around while she was dressing. He had already had his fill for the peek. Not that she really minded but still, she would keep her nudity to herself.
Putting on the cloth and once ready, she sighed.
-Fine...so you said that I was ressurected by some ninja organisation calling themselves the Hand...and that you found me before they could....brainwash me?...How did you find me in the first place and could you tell me where we are please?-
Haku asked, tiding up her hair in a long pony tail.

Naruko
-....!!!!
"His eyes...! Now... that is a surprise."
The... Rinnegan! The man had the Rinnegan! Naruko's surprise soon was replaced again by her anger, however; Rinnegan or not, the fact remained: nobody could hurt Hinata and get away with it.
-Tsk! Why is it that every last person who got the Rinnegan lately used it for the wrong reasons? Is the world so determined to be handed over to a megalomaniac bastard or another? Why can't any of you guys use their powers responsibly instead of harming others, for once?
"Now Kurama... it's time to be a bit more serious!" She was really not expecting to have a serious fight that day, but she sure as hell couldn't underestimate a man with the Rinnegan.
"Of course, let's", answered the fox in her mind, very interested by the situation. Immediately then, Naruko's chakra flared, visibly taking the shape of a fox around her body, in a powerful reddish-orange aura, as three tails of energy appeared behind her.
She had a plan. Maybe that "Kurgan" had the Rinnegan, but even the Rinnegan had its limits. He couldn't catch everything in his kinetic power... besides, he was too busy looking ahead, and while it was extremely powerful, the Rinnegan did not have a 360 degrees eyesight like the Byakkugan. He was probably a bit too sure of himself, though if he knew Naruko was one of the Jinchuriki (and he did, according to his words "one of the nine"), he was probably still keeping his guard up somehow. Still...
-Kage Bushin no Jutsu!
She suddenly created more clones. A lot more... one of which grabbed Hinata in her hands. Then all clones allowed themselves to fall down, hiding the one with Hinata in her arms among their ranks so he wouldn't catch her again. Depending on how many made it unscathed to the ground, Naruko instructed them to heal Hinata with their chakra and bring her back safely to the village while she dealt with this bastard.
Still, the two last clones stayed with her, holding onto her, as one gathered chakra in the form of a powerful ball... while Naruko herself and the second clone infused it with wind ninjutsu and stabilized it, allowing her first clone to throw it furiously at their opponent:
-Rasenshuriken!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 6/6 P.L: 3/3 E: 30/30 P.L: 6/9
6 stones to activate three Bijuu tails! (does not require an action)
2 stones into Power Level to gain 1 additional action;
15 stones into Kage Bushin no Jutsu, plus 1 from Inhuman Might, into creating 16 clones, 1 of which will take Hinata and make sure to land safely with her, 6 of which will create Genjutsu of lots of other Naruko clones to further mess with that guy's sight, and 7 of which will work hard to hide Hinata and shield her as they fall. If they make it, the "survivors" will heal her, and bring her back to the village, protecting her. One or a couple (if many made it) will then run around the village, informing Kakashi of the threat, just in case. I don't know how good this guy is with the Rinnegan and if he knows about the Six Paths of Pain technique. Finally, the last two clone remains with me by grabbing hold of me, the first with 4 stones into Agility, the other using 2 stones in Power Level to gain one more action, 4 stones into Agility to hold onto me, and 8 stones into Chakra combined with 15 stones (Efficient) into Ninja (Rasenshuriken), plus 2 from Targeting, plus 7 for the Rasengan, for a total of a 28 stones attack (3x damage, AP, Ignores 3 stones of Toughness even if No AP), with 4 stones into Control to avoid the vitals and just knock the guy out if possible, as the Rasengan is thrown at him with all my clones' might, with the other Clone helping stabilizing it...
...and so do I. (my second action)
Finally, 15 stones (Efficient) into Ninja (Taijutsu) plus 1 from Inhuman Might, all into defense.
End H: 7/7 P.L: 4/4 E: 11/36 P.L: 4/12 Defense: 30 (5 Ref.Dodge, 5 Toughness [No 2x damage], 1 Flexible skeleton, 1 Power Level, 2 Ninja Uniform, 16 into defense) Mental Defense +10 (4 Intelligence, 6 Mental Defense) Energy Defense +3 Genjutsu Defense +7 Bijuu (Three-tailed): +2 to Str, +2 to Agl, +1 Durability, +3 Chakra, +1 to Reflexive Dodge, +1 to Toughness, +1 Animal Senses, +2 Sense Chakra, +2 Deep Reserves, +1 Energy Battery, +1 Power Level, +1 Inhuman Might, +2 Disquieting, Healing Factor becomes Accelerated

Jago
The Cyborgs seem unwilling to listen at first, suddenly
*BOOM!!!*
Several explosions ring out in the air. CVausing them to be scared off. You look in the sky and see two metahumans duking it out. Just the distraction you could use to find these Hand ninjas.
--------------------------
Haku
"You're in a hidden lair underneath Tokyo Harbor." Silver Samurai said. "I was sent here on behalf of the government to investigate the Hand's activities here, and I found you amoung the other fallen supers in these coffins." He said.
"Over the last 3 months several superhumans, and costumed crimefighters around the world have either been killed, or gone missing, after investigation SHIELD tracked some of the clues down to this place, but Japan didn't want to have SHIELD agents operating on their soil, so I was sent by them to deal with the problem on my own." He says as you finish getting dressed and step out. The floor is unaturally cold under you suprsingly soft and sensitive (Apparently your gender shift had the alternate side effect of giving you a free pedicure lol.) bare feet. Almost like this entire place is built on death and dark powers.
(OOC: Since the Naruto ninja villages have been merged with the Marvel Universe, Haku should know who Silver Samurai, Japan, and SHIELD all are.)
---------------------------
Naruko
Using each other as human landing pads, your clone manages to hand with Hinata safely. You charge a Rasanshuriken only to be blinded by the same damn eye pain again... Only it's far worse this time.
You throw your Rasanshuriken, and it literally misses by a head width.
"Awww poor girl, you can barely hit anything now." Kurgan taunts. "You must still be manifesting your power. It hurts doesn't it... Like your eyes are trapped in a vice." He taunts as he slowly pulls out two weapons. A large greatsword he holds in one hand easily, and a strange giant gold key. "Let me show you the true power of those blessed such as us!" He says shooting a massive area effect blast of electricty from the key, that you barely managae to wiggle enough to fight off his telekinetic grip to move around and avoid.

"That cannot be right." Jago muttered, spotting at least 2 shining figures in the skies above the city. Now he realizes why the thugs had ran off so quickly.
No time to waste...

Naruko
Naruko pressed her hands on her eyes, the pain overcoming her senses.
-...AAAAARGH!! Wh-what have you done to me, you bastard?!
The girl silently cursed her bad luck. Could it be that the Rinnegan had other powers than what she had faced so far? Or maybe it was an unknown bloodline technique? Either way... he was right. She couldn't see well at all. Kurama said something in her mind, but she failed to hear it. She was too busy handling the pain, and focusing her mind on a specific thing... sensing the man's energy. "A ninja must be able to see without his eyes, hear without his ears, smell without his nose..." or something along those lines. She wasn't sure if those were Kakashi or Jiraiya's words. Either way, she attempted to use her enhanced ability to sense Chakra to support her aim even though she couldn't see well at all. Hoping for the best, she threw a kunai, allowing her own chakra to guide her aim to her foe.
-Don't compare me to the likes of you!, she yelled, her eyes still closed, as she immediately diverted her energy towards using Kurama's chakra arms in an attempt to protect herself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 7/7 P.L: 4/4 E: 36/36 P.L: 12/12
2 stones into Power Level to gain an additional action;
10 stones into Chakra, plus 1 from Inhuman Might; 5 of which I'll use with my Sense Chakra 5, total of 10 to sense the man's presence. The others 6 to combine with...
15 stones (Efficient) into Ninja (Taijutsu, Kunai) plus 2 from Targeting, plus 1 from Inhuman Might, plus 2 from Kunai; all into a 25 stones attack VS the Kurgan, but this time, I'm not holding back for his sake, lol.
11 stones (Efficient) into Chakra Arms, plus 1 from Inhuman Might, plus 2 from Claws, all into defense.
End H: 7/7 P.L: 4/4 E: 14/36 P.L: 4/12 Defense: 28 (5 Ref.Dodge, 5 Toughness [No 2x damage], 1 Flexible skeleton, 1 Power Level, 2 Ninja Uniform, 14 actions) Mental Defense +10 (4 Intelligence, 6 Mental Defense) Energy Defense +3 Genjutsu Defense +7 Bijuu (Three-tailed): +2 to Str, +2 to Agl, +1 Durability, +3 Chakra, +1 to Reflexive Dodge, +1 to Toughness, +1 Animal Senses, +2 Sense Chakra, +2 Deep Reserves, +1 Energy Battery, +1 Power Level, +1 Inhuman Might, +2 Disquieting, Healing Factor becomes Accelerated

Haku
Haku couldn't help but notice the cold under her bare feet. She would need to train herself a bit more. She had lost a bit of it she could only put it on the bender switch.
-So...others were also killed and ressurected in order to become puppets? We should free them if they are still alive...if not...at least give them a proper grave..-
Haku said, looking around her at the other coffins if other there was.
-I'm not really in touch with what's new...I've been dead for 3 years...I need to catch up on a few things...-
