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?

"Katon: Fire Release Stream!" the large ram howled before a very large stream of flames exited his mouth. His head turned to follow his partner with the flames, watching as Amaterasu easily out ran them. The young jounin suddenly launched herself up into the air as soon as her feet hit her target. A large boulder. Twisting in mid air, she performed a few hand seals, returning just the jutsu to counter her partners attack.
"Suiton: Mizurappa!" she let out her own little battle cry, suddenly letting the large stream of water expel from her lips, putting out all of Ares's flames and soaking him down with water. While Ares shook himself off and spat out large amounts of water, Amaterasu landed, one knee on the ground, her hands already working through another set of hand seals. "Temporary Paralysis Technique," she said with an evil grin, launching herself forward and pressing her hand to the medium horse-sized rams neck, watching him suddenly go stiff and then fall over. He lay prone on the ground, staring at Amaterasu with an amused expression.
Unfortunately, he could still talk. "You got me, Ama-chan~" he said with a loud howl and a laugh. "Always that jutsu, though!" he exclaimed, staring at her with wide eyes. "Are you afraid to hurt me that much?"
Amaterasu smiled, sitting down across from him, her legs crossed, "Can you blame me? You may be bigger than me, but you're still able to be hurt," she said with a soft smile. "I think we're done for now. At least until you can get back on your feet," she said with a playful grin. Running a hand through her blue-green hair, she yawned, and stretched upward, looking back toward the entrance of their chosen training area. Outside the line of trees, one could hear the other animals wandering and chattering with one another, but that wasn't what had caught her attention. They seemed to have a spy.
Giving a warm smile, Ama waved her arm in the small shinobi's direction. "Heyo~ Wanna come and join us?!" she called in a sing-song voice.
"Yeah!" a still paralyzed Ares called from where he lay, still stiff as a board, "Come and join us, LITTLE LADY!"

FRAGILE BIRD When she sleeps there is a fever dream, yeah. It brings a night terror to harm this fragile bird. She speaks in tongues. her words they come undone, yeah. And with a wayward mind she struggles through the night. | H itomi watched the sparring duo with wide eyes. She hadn’t expected to see anyone else today, not for any specific reason, of course, she just figured today would be one of those quiet days. It had started off as a quick fly over the town, practicing her dives and attacks in the air (well, if you could call attacking normal mice, rodents, and snakes attacking) as Hitomi enjoyed herself. The heiress had been circling the training grounds when she heard the commotion, shifting her flight’s trajectory as she hung lazily above them, watching. Curious as she was, Hitomi decided to land by the trees near the gate, transforming back into her human self.The genin recognized the players right away: Amaterasu Tachibana, sister to the Raikage and sensei to Hitomi’s own younger brother. She was also a Beast Tamer and seeing her practice with her pet made her think of how the Hane handled their pets. The Hane birds were kept in their nesting grounds till they bred, raised a clutch of young, and then bonded to a human, melding avian chakra with its master. The bird ceased to exist as a physical entity but it did surive inside of the Hane, allowing for Clan members to transform into their ‘pet’. Hane could, after that, communicate with any bird and perhaps they gained much when abandoning the traditional ways a Beast Tamer kept their pet.She hadn’t been hiding long when Amaterasu-sama and her goat noticed Hitomi. The girl blushed as the older woman waved, calling Hitomi down. Nervously, Hitomi waved back, looked around as if to ask her own sensei for permission (Shido-sensei was off training with Kenta, of course) before the genin ran over to the pair.“H-hi,” the young Hane chirped, looking at the beautiful shinobi and her pet. “I didn’t mean to intrude, Amaterasu-sama, I’m sorry.” Hitomi bowed lowly, her rigorous training with class and customs drilled into her head from her father.

"Nonsense!" Amaterasu said with a joyful smile. "You aren't intruding into anything, darling. You're perfectly fine. Don't you worry," she finished, running a hand through her blue-green hair as she observed the girl. Ares's eyes followed Hitomi with a playful light in them, "When I can move again, I can greet you properly, little lady. My name is Ares, though," he said with a laugh and then went back to be silent, focusing on his limbs and trying to get them to move once again. Amaterasu just chuckled at the sight before bringing her gaze back to Hitomi.
"Would you like to train with us? I'm sure your sensei must be busy with other students, and I only have one of my own. Are you prepared for the chuunin exams, Hitomi?" she asked with a small smile. "I know that beast tamers like the Hane Clan sometimes need a little boost and... exclusive training. It's hard to train when your other teammates don't have to work with pets, right?" the Kumo jounin asked softly, slowly pressing herself to her feet and brushing herself off. She wanted someone to train with, after all. It might give Hitomi a good idea what she would be up against if she came into contact with other genin who also specialized in beast taming. However, a lot of times it was harder to fight two entities rather than one. Everyone needed that sort of practice, and Amaterasu was sure that she could give Hitomi that.
Slowly, Ares's limbs started to move once more, and soon the large ram was on his feet once more, shaking off the numb feeling. He stretched each limb one by one and then moved to stand at Amaterasu's side, titling his head slightly when the familiar hand of Amaterasu wrapped around one of his long horns. He instinctively pressed his side into her, looking just as playful and hopeful as his partner did, hoping that the young Hane genin would join them in their training. "Pleaseeee?" Ares said with a bubbly and playful laugh. | ◀ MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS Hitomi HaneRemember. Rapid fire. 250 word min, 400 word max. |

FRAGILE BIRD When she sleeps there is a fever dream, yeah. It brings a night terror to harm this fragile bird. She speaks in tongues, her words they come undone, yeah. And with a wayward mind she struggles through the night. | H itomi blinked up at Amaterasu-sama, smiling softly as the older woman welcomed the small the genin. “Thank you,” the Hane replied again, bowing once more before straightening her posture and turning her attention to Amaterasu’s pet who surprised her when it spoke human. Many summoned animals and the sage animals knew the human language but it was still a rare treat when a Beast Tamer’s pet could communicate like that. But because of that and with what Ares' said, even the ram managed to make Hitomi flush. “A pleasure, Ares. I’ve heard,” Hitomi paused for a moment before giggling softly, “stories about you.” It was well known to the Beast Tamer community that Ares had a spitfire (fire being the key word) personality sometimes. When both Amaterasu and Ares asked Hitomi to join them in training the frail genin turned back once more to check the entrance to the training grounds. No Shido-sensei, he would be busy for a while- she knew that. And it would do Hitomi good to train with a different Beast Tamer other than her own Clan, especially since most Tamers were like Amaterasu-sama and her pet: side by side battlers. “I-ah, I’m,” Hitomi stuttered when asked about the Chuunin Exams. Truthfully the teenager felt she was not even close to being prepared for the event. She’d only practiced with her father and Shikai, only gone on a handful of missions, and very much doubted that she was ready. Amaterasu asking about it only became an unpleasant reminder of just how far behind in training Hitomi was. “It is hard being the only Tamer,” she finally agreed.“Okay, I would be honored.” A small smile peeked out from under the girl’s mask. |

Ares was the first to react to Hitomi's agreement, suddenly jumping back and trotting around Amaterasu and the young genin. "Yesssssss! Yippie! We have a training buddy~" he purposely made his words rhyme, jumping and running all over the clearing in his excitement. Amaterasu couldn't help but stare at him with a mildly dumbfounded expression before starting to giggle uncontrollably. She shook her head, smiling down at Hitomi with a tender expression.
"Someone's really excited for you to train with us. He's secretly wanted to find a Hane to train with, and since our own little birdie seems to busy, you're probably the next best thing to him," Amaterasu admitted softly, running a hand through her hair with a contemplative expression on her features. "What exactly do you feel that you need the most training in, Hitomi? I've only ever trained a few select skills, so I may not be too much help other than being a sparring partner in the end. I'm not a jack of all trades like some of the other jounin around," she said with a nervous grin.
But she would try and help the girl nonetheless. Hitomi clearly needed and wanted the training, and Amaterasu was going to do her best to help as much as she can. Ares finally came to a stop next to his master, resting his large head on her shoulder, though it was clear he was bursting with excitement by the way his hooves continued to stamp on the ground lightly, showing that he was ready and rearing to go whenever their new little student was ready. Amaterasu just gave the same tender smile that'd been on her features from the start. | ◀ MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS Hitomi HaneRemember. Rapid fire. 250 word min, 400 word max. |

FRAGILE BIRD When she sleeps there is a fever dream, yeah. It brings a night terror to harm this fragile bird. She speaks in tongues, her words they come undone, yeah. And with a wayward mind she struggles through the night. | T he girl’s smile grew as she watched Ares jump around, as enthused and energetic as a young kid. In a way the ram reminded her of her teammate Shikai who was equally eager to train and practice whenever something came up. And then, very quietly, Hitomi joined in with the older kunoichi’s giggles- a rush of little melodies echoing from the genin’s thin frame. “It is an honor, Ares-sama.” The honorific seemed to fit the battle pet, Hitomi thought to herself as she smiled at the ram.But that smile of Hitomi’s quickly faded when the B-ranked shinobi brought up talk of Kiyoshi. Hitomi wondered what her brother would think if he had heard his sensei’s statement. It wasn’t often that Kiyoshi was ranked before his older sister and for her to be ‘the next best thing’ meant Ares wanted to train with Kiyoshi more than any other Hane; more than Hitomi. Kiyoshi needed to hear that. Too often it was Hitomi before Kiyoshi…and the older Hane thought it was sweet that his sensei and her pet cared about him. But she was too shy to actually tell Amaterasu this.“An-anything with Ninjutsu or Sensory techniques would be something I’d like to train in, Amaterasu-sama,” Hitomi finally settled on. Her personal goal, after all, was to become a great sensory shinobi as many in her Clan had. “I never really thought about becoming a Beast Tamer since, well, I am my own pet but there are summons, right? And I can talk to birds.”The girl flushed at her statement. It sounded a little lame and perhaps just a bit showoff-y to her own ears. “Just no Taijutsu please,” Hitomi quickly added, smiling weakly. |

Amaterasu smiled and then stretched upwards, nodding to herself. "Aright then. Ninjutsu it is because I have absolutely no skill in sensory," she admitted with a chuckle. At least she was honest. Most people wouldn't outright announce their shortcomings or the things that they had no skill in. Sometimes it was dangerous to do so. However, in the presence of the sweet little Hane woman, there wasn't much that she would hold back. She was here to train and be honest, and that meant telling where her faults were. Hitomi would be learning no sensory skill from Amaterasu. It was as simple as that.
"First things first, what's your chakra nature, Hitomi?" she asked with a smile before glancing toward Ares who was still prancing around happily. "Ares's is katon. Mine are doton, suiton, and mokuton," she noted, nodding slowly to herself. She didn't know if Hitomi knew what mokuton was, but if she didn't she would be more than happy to explain herself to the young genin. A combination of katon and mokuton was always a deadly treat, and Ares and Amaterasu worked very well together when it came to using their ninjutsu.
Ama crossed her arms over her chest, watching her student excitedly. "We'll try to tailor our attacks to what you can use against us, that way you end up getting a good amount of practice in whether you can use elemental chakra or not," she finished, clearly running all of this through her head as she planned everything out for them. She hoped that she could help Hitomi enough to give her a good chance at the chuunin exams. She wanted to see as many of the genin pass this year as was possible. It would make her happy to see some fresh talent in the village. | ◀ MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS Hitomi HaneRemember. Rapid fire. 250 word min, 400 word max. |

FRAGILE BIRD When she sleeps there is a fever dream, yeah. It brings a night terror to harm this fragile bird. She speaks in tongues, her words they come undone, yeah. And with a wayward mind she struggles through the night. | N injutsu worked perfectly with Hitomi and she didn’t mind at all that Amaterasu-sama couldn’t help her with sensory skills. That’s why she had her father and other Clan members or even another sensei to assist with those skills. Worse came to worse, Hitomi could always practice her sensory jutsu by herself- it would be a long struggle but well worth it if she succeeded. For now, however, Hitomi wouldn’t mind a good Ninjutsu session.“Fuuton, Amaterasu-sama,” Hitomi answered, giving Ares an almost wary look. Katon jutsu was not a wind based shinobi’s best friend. As the Tokubetsu Jounin continued to explain her own skills, Hitomi’s eyes widened behind her eye covering. “Woah,” she whispered, amazed that someone at Amaterasu’s level had three elements, though Hitomi was pretty sure that the third was a combination of water and earth, but she wasn’t positive. It was still very impressive though! “Mokuton? That’s an advance element release, right?”“With all those combinations I bet you two can defend against a lot of different techniques on the field,” Hitomi compliment, half thinking out loud, a touch of envy in her voice. “That would be another benefit to being a Beast Tamer.” Hitomi knew if she trained enough she might uncover another element and would be able to master both of them, but if she had a companion with her she could cover the weakness of her own element through her pet…er, summon. The girl would have a lot to think about after this session with Amaterasu, she was certain of that.“I’m ready to begin when you are!” |

"Fuuton, eh? We'll let Ares fight, then, but I'll be on standby with suiton jutsu to diffuse any situations," Amaterasu noted softly, smiling at Hitomi with a kind expression. Ares finally stopped trotting around, standing at Ama's shoulder, closing his eyes as he focused, silent for once. His horns and hooves burst into flames suddenly and he opened his eyes again, watching Hitomi with a small smile. The playful demeanor was gone now, and there was only thought of the oncoming sparring session.
Deciding that it would be best to make herself clear to Hitomi, Ama scratched the back of her head, "Yeah. Mokuton is an advanced release. It's wood release, actually. It's why Ares and I make such a great team," she said with a small laugh, slowly sliding into a combative position. Ares followed suit, bowing his head very slightly, keeping his eyes on the young genin in front of him. They would go easy on her, of course. There would be no learning if Amaterasu and Ares just beat her before they really even got started.
"You can make the first move, little bird. Plan your moves carefully, because you aren't facing just one opponent," Ares said calmly, starting to take a few steps backwards, preparing for anything. Amaterasu stood in a position that would allow her to create hand seals as well as execute any jutsu that she needed to in the most efficient manner. She wouldn't let the girl so easily out of her sights, and needed to be ready for anything. If there was one thing that Amaterasu knew for sure, it was the fact that beast masters could be absolutely unpredictable. As skilled as she and Ares were, they needed to give Hitomi a chance to get hits in and outsmart the both of them. This certainly would not be a one sided fight, but it also wasn't going to be easy for the Hane genin. | ◀ MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS Hitomi HaneRemember. Rapid fire. 250 word min, 400 word max. |

FRAGILE BIRD When she sleeps there is a fever dream, yeah. It brings a night terror to harm this fragile bird. She speaks in tongues, her words they come undone, yeah. And with a wayward mind she struggles through the night. | "O h, okay,” Hitomi squeaked as she looked at the fire ram, knowing that a shinobi was brave and didn’t fear a fight. She had to get stronger and if getting stronger meant training with her element’s weakness then so be it. “I’m, I’m sure Ares-sama can control himself,” she flashed a wary smile at the ram. “Right?”Well, she didn’t have any time to waste with asking if her opponent was going to go easy on her or not- the real world didn’t act like that- and if Hitomi’s father ever saw her acting so skittish he wouldn’t be proud at all. Squaring her shoulders, Hitomi nodded to herself, mustering her courage as she planned her strategy. She wanted to keep Ares as far away from her as possible, knowing that Taijutsu was a Hane’s nightmare and that she would rather not return back to her home with burns.She wasn’t listening to what Ares was saying, not really, instead the girl was starting to back up, allowing for more space without getting too far. General sparring rules were always in Hitomi’s mind unless they allowed for the whole grounds like her and Shikai’s fight had. Still looking a little nervous but knowing she couldn’t waste any more time, Hitomi sprang into action. Running to the left of Ares, she started forming hand signs, aiming for the ram’s legs and hooves so it would force him further back. “Fuuton: Hari (Wind Release: Needles)!” she cried, watching as a handful of wind shaped senbons sliced their way to the beast. Maybe they would pain him enough he would be slower. 270 She's a little slow at first, sorry! |
