Welcome
some intro,
Welcome to Unison Sign! We are a reimagined Naruto site taking place in an alternate world to the one from the canon. The continent we live on has greatly destabilized since the emergence of chakra. Bijuu now roam the earth and secrets from centuries ago are being discovered. To protect themselves and to better prepare for the road ahead, clans of shinobi have started to band together in groups and are setting up villages in which they can reside free of discrimination. Join us as we build this world from the ground up.

OUT OF CHARACTER! Unison Sign is officially open! We've completely overhauled the site giving it a new look, new backstory, and new role playing system. We're still rolling out information posts and making changes to the board but feel free to get started on your characters and jump into the role play whenever you're ready. Make sure you are familiar with all of our new threads before you do though!
IN CHARACTER With the release of the bijuu and chakra reappearing in humans, the world has become incredibly unstable. To protect themselves from discrimination and prepare for the trials ahead clans of shinobi have started to gather together to form villages. Two villages already exist and this has put pressure on other clans to start to come together under their own banners. Will you help create these villages or do everything you can to stop them?

As the two walked through the village of Amegakure, the white-haired salamander started to notice that the puppeteer was taking continuous glances back at Ryuza which he found quite weird due to the fact they hardly sparked any conversations up on their journey to the broken village and they hardly exchanged gazes but now it was happening every couple seconds. The young shinobi started to feel crept out by the man, he was wearing pajamas, he had no visible emotions on his face and he had skin as pale as a ghost. Ryuza did not know how the man survived without even a slight tan while living in the scorching hot desert of Sunagakure. A few seconds passed and then his assigned partner took a quick turn and headed into a shop, the shop was closed down and only one of its doors was in-tact. Ryuza was left by himself in the deserted, cold and silent street of Amegakure, all you could hear was the screaming of the winds as they danced. His partner only took around a mere minute or so to emerge from the store and once again he was reunited with Ryuza. He handed the salamander a stick of dumplings which was known more commonly as the name dangos.
While in the store the Sunagakure shinobi had also grabbed a notepad and a pen which was awkward and he started to write to himself, Ryuza did not know the words were targeted to him. As he wrote he began to say things that were related to an escape or assassination, Ryuza really didn’t understand the man and right about when he was going to tell Keiji to shut the hell up he saw that he wasn’t writing anything on the notepad and he was actually giving commands to him. From what the shinobi could make out was that Keiji was telling him that they’d spread out and somebody was following them. At the end of his boring list of commands he said they’ll meet at the gates. Ryuza felt really insecure in this village and didn’t like the idea of splitting up but when his Jonin partner sped away into one of the nearby alleyways he decided to do the same. Ryuza’s acceleration was almost superhuman and this ability came from years of toning his legs and body to the maximum. Instead of going nearby he headed for the gates at the other side and when they were within range of the naked eye he quickly turned and utilized his nimbleness to move into an alleyway.
As he slowed down and started to walk through the alleyway he studied it briefly, mice, rats and cats littered the hallway and there was even a whole family of maggots chilling with each other by rubbing all over them. Ryuza guessed that was their way of mating or socializing but the thought made him sick to his stomach. Once he had dodged all the disgusting insects and small rodents he found himself at a dead end and he started to hear footsteps, he quickly turned his head to his right and saw a slight shadow reflecting off the wall into Ryuza’s line of sight. He whipped around in a quick order but didn’t have a lot of time to react, the man came charging in with a sword aimed at Ryuza’s heart and Ryuza didn’t know what to do. Working on instinct, he quickly ducked and rolled to the side to avoid the blade. When the man came running back for him Ryuza’s kicked the blade out of his opponent’s hand but shortly after the opponent’s fist met Ryuza’s stomach and he was sent flying back into a brick wall. Pain surged throughout his body and especially his back but he got back up, thankfully he didn’t break anything. Now that he was running on anger, he ran arrogantly at the man, attempting to uppercut him but his opponent quickly did the same action that Ryuza performed earlier; sidestepping him and then he tripped Ryuza. The swordsman quickly took advantage of the situation and got on top of him, he threw a fist at Ryuza but the salamander cocked his head to the side and the man’s fist cracked, it seemed like he broke something. Now it was the shinobi’s turn, he turned the man around as he cried in pain and then delivered a knockout punch straight for his face. Yawning, he picked up his walkie talkie which fell out of his pocket earlier and heard Keiji speak into it, he didn’t respond on the walkie talkie and simply headed for his destination, the gates.

This was getting troublesome... "Damn, is there no clothes store around this damned village?" said the white-haired boy as he was nibbling on a fresh bought dango. He was getting colder by the second and a change of clothes started to be a first priority. Suddenly he stopped in his tracks and kept staring at a beggar about his age that was standing on a corner. "Hmmm..." he mused approaching him.
Later on he finally arrived at the gates and apparently Ryuza got there first since he wasn't busy looking for a new pair of pants. This time Keiji was wearing the same jounin vest but on top of some rags. Apparently he traded his pajamas with the beggar boy he met earlier. His face was priceless, bored as always but with a hint of annoyance. He approached Ryu and before he could open his mouth he raised his hand and pointed at him "I don't want to hear it...". Standing by him he looked up at the guards "We're the sunagakure ninjas, we have already made a request to pass through the village, we would like to leave using this way." he shouted loud enough for the gateguards to hear him. Within a second after, he glared at Ryu. "Our targets are hiding in a cave right at the border between Kusagakure and Takigakure. As far as i'm concerned it will be easy to find as it resides inside the mountains left to Amegakure, right to Takigakure depending on which way you're going." Swallowing the last dumpling and throwing the now empty stick on the ground he started to lick his fingers. "Whaw about yhou dharget?". He took the fingers out of his mouth "Did you take care of him?" he said waiting for an answer.
Even if Ryuza chose to answer or not, the gates in front of them opened leaving a clear way for the two. Keiji wasted no time and flew trough the gates, again, hoping that his partner will keep up with him. "Don't mind the haste of my actions please... but our actors may be in danger. If they were stupid enough to leave only two people behind to try and kill us they may be stupid enough to do something idiotic if panic raises between them. As far as we know they could've used those walkie talkies to keep in touch and confirm our assassination" He straightened his jacket and checked if anything was missing from it. He wouldn't want to lose anything in these parts after all. "There are three men left up in that cave that are guarding the hostages, one of them must be their boss, so before we get there i want your promise that you won't do anything rash and stupid. Our higher-ranks want the bastard alive for some reason that i can't come up with... Tsk". After that he stood silent for a while, staring only forward at his goal , the blackness around his eyes getting more obvious by the second in contrasts with his pale skin. The border with the Village hidden in the Grass was visible the moment they stepped out the gates due to Amegakure's small territory spread. It didn't take long for them to enter Kusagakure but once again the background changed drastically. From desert to a small pack of a forest and now to giant mushrooms and bamboo. The world is really a strange place. Keiji started to wonder if these borders were made having the environment in mind.
"We'll avoid going trough the village this time, Kusagakure is even smaller compared to Amegakure so even if we take a little detour we're going to be fine and fast enough." he stopped there for a second, his eyes narrowing as they checked for anything suspicious "Plus , if they don't know we went past their *deffenses* we shouldn't risk making it obvious now and announce that we are coming. That's the first rule of being a shinobi after all, subtetly" . There was something strange about these lands. It's easy for Keiji to get lost in a forest of trees even one as small as the one Amegakure has around but when it came to forests made of mushrooms he didn't seem to have any problems. "Speed up!" he said lastly raising the pace. |

Keiji underwent a clothing change and went from comfy pajamas toThey sped out of Amegakure and within mere minutes, Kusagakure, the land of tall mushrooms and bamboo was in sight. Now, Amegakure’s territorial size was nothing compared to Sunagakure but when you compared the size of Kusagakure to Amegakure it was even smaller which was quite a feat and that was one of the many reasons why Kusagakure was inhabited by shinobi, however, once long ago there were shinobi that resided in the small land. Wars had left their scars on almost every nation around the world but the shinobi of Kusagakure couldn’t handle it. At least thirty minutes passed until they actually reached Kusagakure and the young shinobi was amazed by the appearance of Kusagakure when you stood close to it, it differed from Amegakure greatly, there was not much light but way more than Amegakure and many flowers and grasses grew here but not many trees if any at all which was quite surprising, Ryuza thought they would have even more wildlife judging by its name but now he knew they didn’t. Kusagakure did not have any guards and it seemed like it was abandoned by shinobi a long time ago and thus there was so much peace.
The duo ran through Kusagakure without sparking anymore conflicts and Ryuza decided he was going to answer Keiji’s question that he posed to the salamander earlier asking him what his name was. The dragon had befriended the scary puppeteer now and Keiji had earned his trust. Even though he was from Sunagakure from when he first spoke to him the man looked suspicious but now his suspicions were gone and he opened his mouth to answer the man.
“You posed a question earlier, my bad for not answering, name’s Ryuza.” Ryu zadid not like to give people his last name because he believed that it was the way of the shinobi, the way of a warrior, the way of a dragon to let someone know their surname on the battlefield and not through small chit-chat. Therefore he did not give it out to Keiji because they hadn’t really fought something together other than that giant ass scorpion but Ryuza assured himself that he could take it down by himself at anytime, even while sleeping which was a pretty confident feat one must say. Ten minutes had passed and they had already exited Kusagakure and Takigakure was straight ahead. From the information that he had learned from Keiji, his opponent that he had taken on earlier stated that the actors were located in a cave just inside of Takigakure. The cave shouldn’t have been too far from the duo due to the fact Takigakure was in his line of vision.
Around another quarter of an hour passed and they reached Takigakure. Now the climate changed quite drastically in Takigakure, it was more of a mild climate with the sun shining down on the salamander who embraced it very much and a slight breeze moved his hair. Unlike Kusagakure, Takigakure had a gate and guards placed at them. The village lived up to its namesake since Ryuza could hear the flow of various rivers inside. As he walked up to the guards he noticed a huge tree that went way past the clouds. It was at least a good six thousand seven hundred feet and its diameter was the size of half of Sunagakure at least. He had heard of the tree before and it was of great significance to the people that resided in the small village of Takigakure. From legends that he had heard from various people they stated that the tree protected them at all times and that’s why they were such a peaceful nation and the only time Ryuza could recall that they sparked some type of conflict when the now deceased ex-shinobi Kakuza failed to assassinate one of the few Hokage at that time but those times had passed and everything was forgiven and forgotten.
One of the guards approached the duo and Ryuza almost knew what they were going to ask so instead he answered before the lady could even open her mouth a tiny bit.
“We’re shinobi from Sunagakure and we have been sent on a mission to trade various medicinal herbs with the village’s hospital.”
Now this was obviously a blatant lie but he did not want to accuse the village of Takigakure for anything that was untrue, for all they knew the group might have not been hiding out in Takigakure. After granting them permission the large gates of the village opened and all Ryuza saw for miles was farms, rivers and a big ass tree. This small village’s economy must have thrived off the various goods and supplies that were made here and delivered to other countries and that tree was pretty extraordinary too. About ten minutes of walking and the cave was finally in sight, Ryuza tapped Keiji on the shoulder and simply pointed towards the cave.
A fight was approaching.

And there it was, the so called "hidden" cave. You shouldn't call something hidden when it's right there for anyone's sight. What idiot would decide to go to a place as obvious as this to hide Keiji didn't know, but he was about to. Toshiro chose to take another route towards the entrance by going around and climbing the mountain therefor he managed to get right above the cave entrance that was guarded by two guys looking pretty equipped, at least one of them. He looked at Ryuza who was right in a straight line with the entrance waiting in a bush for the signal. Keiji noded at him and without further ado he started to make six handsigns before descending on the guards. He landed behind the better equipped and it's only then when they realized what was happening. Keiji looked as if he was keeping something in his mouth when he grabbed the nearest one by the collar of his clothes and in a circular motion he threw him toward Ryuza to be taken care of. As soon as he finished the motion he was facing the other one who came charging at him straight ahead... bad idea. Toshiro released a flame bullet at the man, which blew him away about three feet and set him in flames, letting him cry in agony on the ground.
He straightened himself up and gazed over in Ryu's direction "He's all yours" he stated before heading inside the cave. It wasn't a big cave and the actors including the bandit boss saw everything that happened. He was already on his feet pointing his sword at the hostages behind bars. "IF YOU COME ANY CLOSER I"LL KILL THEM ALL!" Keiji stood his ground staring him in the eye with a murderous intent "Are you sure? That would mean i'd have no obligation to keep you alive afterwards" That made the boss hesitate which was good because Keiji noticed it and started walking towards him with his guard seemingly down. As soon as he got right inside the bandit's face was covered into a wicked smile as he pressed with the point of his foot a floor tile that was higher then the others. A trap!. Keiji looked up to see a giant scythe swinging over from the side about to cut him in half. He took the scroll form his jacket which was really handy and a poof of smoke surrounded him. As soon as the scythe reached the smoke the sound of metal hitting metal could be heard. The white smoke dispersed and covering the boy's body was death in all it's glory, blocking the huge scythe with it's own, the blades being seconds away from Keiji's face. He stood with his eyes closed facing the ground disappointed but then he opened them slowly and glared furiously at the bandit boss "Will you cooperate?..." . The Grim Reaper seemed to do the same, raising his head with a few clanking sounds , it's human bright eyes fixed on the man.
He froze down, there was a hint of fear in him but compared to his underlings he kept his composure pretty well. Dropping his sword he got on his knees and raised his arms as if somebody was about to tie him down. "Alright, you won..." he said , the smile vanishing from his face. The hostages however were terrified by the show, they didn't realize that "death" was actually a puppet since they weren't all that familiar with ninjas and their arts. Keiji noticed it "Huh?.. Oh..." and then sealed the puppet back inside the scroll, tying it down with a red line and putting it back in his jacket. He walked over to the cage ignoring the bandit boss and opened it so that the hostages could come out. At the same time he checked for any more traps so that nobody's life was in danger anymore. No more traps it seemed , so he finally decided to give the bandit boss some attention. Walking over to him he crawled down to get at the same level with him. As he inspected the cave he also noticed they used the actor's caravan... how lucky huh? The road back won't be that tiresome "I just want you to know boss-sama that two..." he glared back at Ryu's direction for a second "... possibly four of your buddies are already dead because of your actions. If you do anything on the way back, like escaping or hurting someone you'll be the fifth. Please don't alright?" he said keeping a warm smile on his face. He proceeded to tie him down and while Ryu was busy taking care of the last guy he put the tied boss on one of the horse's backs and invited all the hostages to get into the caravan which he rode outside afterwards to check on his partner.

Ryuza sat in a bush, patiently waiting for the signal from his partner, usually the arrogant young shinobi of Sunagakure would go straight into battle but this is one of the reasons why he didn’t make Tokebetsu Jonin, he would have to gain more battle intelligence as a substitute for sheer strength and willpower. Shifting from his current train of thoughts to the very fabric of reality itself his partner had disappeared and as he turned his current line of vision to the two guards, it seemed he had already gotten behind one which proved he wasn’t that lazy and was rather quick. Ryuza thought he was going to crack the guard’s neck or something to temporarily incapacitate him but instead he used a rather odd tactic, he threw the opponent at Ryuza. Now, the shinobi in training was totally not expecting this and as a result he was hit square in the head by the airborne opponent’s arm. Dazed, he quickly stood up and did a backflip which moved him a good three meters away from his opponent. He then looked at his opponent who was struggling to get up from the floor and Ryuza didn’t blame him, he was just thrown a good five meters and you could say he was flying.
When he stood up he moved from side to side and that proved Ryuza’s suspicions of the man being dizzy more clear. The guard was a fairly stout and encompassing individual in terms of his phenotypic features. The man stood at roughly five foot seven inches and appeared as if he weighed a ton. The man sported brown eyes and very little body hair save for a goatee that is brown in color. He had no visible noticeable markings, piercings, tattoos, etc., to speak of. Slightly pale skin covers his frame though his bald head is a bit tanner in color.
In terms of clothing, the man wore loose yet layered articles. An all black under-suit that is tied at the wasit with a white band covers the majority of his body, though he had no sleeves for some odd reason. The leg portion extended down to around mid-shin before disappearing under a slew of white tape that covers the rest of his legs and leads into a pair of black shinobi sandals. The top of the under garment has a deep V-neck pattern that's large enough to show the grey mesh shirt --also sleeveless-- that the man wore. All of this was usually covered by a white, flowing robe (once again, sleeveless) that is a few inches shorter than the black under garments. Around the bottom edges are a repeating pattern of long, black slits and black circles.
On his back right side was a pouch containing various shinobi tools, while taped to his left leg is a kunai holster. After studying him very carefully it seemed like the man had come back to his senses, the man started running towards Ryuza with one of his kunai’s out and the salamander got into a simple Taijutsu stance but all of a sudden in the middle of his acceleration the man paused and threw the shuriken straight at Ryuza and it clipped one of his finger’s, blood started rushing out of the small cut, it didn’t hurt much but it stung. The man had stopped in his tracks and smiled and out of anger Ryuza prepared his most powerful attack that was surely going to seriously injure the man if it came into contact with any part of his skin.
After compressing a large amount of chakra built up inside his body he molded it to form a the head of a dragon-shaped fireball. After spitting it out at the man he skilfully manipulated the mass amount of fire and attacked his opponent. Ryuza was not sure if it hit but being that close, nobody could escape that unless they were extremely skilled at combat and the salamander doubted that, if you worked for people that paid you to capture small actors, you must have been useless. He started to walk away without reassuring if the man was dead or not. When he started to head for the cave he noticed the outside of it was burning and it seemed like he had caused it, he looked to where the man was hit and the fire had spread everywhere destroying everything in its path. He quickly dodged the fire and headed inside and saw that Keiji had cleaned the rest of the mess up. It seems there was a caravan and this was going to be an easy ride back him. He got back inside and waited for the caravan, once he got in he would go back to Sunagakure and rest for a couple days.
