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?

Ryuunosuke pulled himself upward, his hands, one flesh and one metal, gripping the bar above his head tightly. A slight grunt and a show of force pulled his chin up and over the bar before he lowered himself back to the ground. A few more pull-ups and he was finished, landing on his feet without an issue. Grabbing a towel from a chair next to his workout space, he wiped the sweat from his neck and shoulders. Living in the Underworld was hot as it was, adding in the various training that went down underground, and you had quite a few sweaty ninja. The young jounin took his time to wash himself up, pulling his long hair into a long ponytail. He dressed himself in his surface clothing, intending to go up to the surface for the day. He knew that as soon as that outside air hit his skin, he'd be freezing. Pulling on the last piece of his ensemble, he buttoned up all the buttons on his coat except for the three close to his neck. The red leather reached almost down to his ankles, and the sleeves were long enough to cover both his arms and hide the edges of his gloves. The last thing that he needed was for someone to figure out that he had two fake limbs. It was his biggest secret and he intended to keep it that way. Pulling his black gloves on, he then leaned up, stretching slowly. 'Time to go,' he told himself, stepping out his front door and locking it behind him. He went about his normal routine, greeting the cats in the Suoh streets as he made his way into the tunnel up to the surface. He waved at a few smiling faces before he was completely blocked out by the darkness of the tunnel, his eyes adjusting to the light quickly. Ryuu soon found himself on the surface, breathing in the sweet surface air. He had to admit, it was a nice treat to come up to from time to time, though it was nothing like his home. Resting his hands on the back of his head, he walked through the streets of Iwagakure, his mind wandering as he observed the different merchant stalls that scattered the main streets. He did this quite often, to be honest. He enjoyed wandering around the village, if not for enjoyment, but to simply warm himself up. The air was cold to him, but that was because his home was nestled right above a massive lava lake. One of the stalls caught his eye, however, and he paused to browse. It was a weapons stall. Observing the wears, he picked up one of the blades, observing its craftsmanship. The merchant at the stall, who'd been helping another customer, turned to face him. "Nice isn't it?" the old man asked. "No," Ryuunosuke answered indignantly. "Suoh steel is better. This looks like it was made in a rush," the master blacksmith inside of Ryuunosuke started to show as he put the blade back down, looking up to note the furious expression on the merchants face. Putting his hands up, he gave an apologetic smile. "Hey, hey. I'm sorry. I'm a blacksmith. I can tell when someone hasn't put time into their metal work. I've had to reprimand a few of my apprentices from time to time," he admitted, trying his best to apologize for insulting the stall owner. The man seemed to settle down a bit, observing his wares with a quite consideration. In an instant the man looked back up at Ryuunosuke and gave a sheepish smile, scratching the back of his head, "I've been trying to get my hands on Suoh steel for a while. It'd make a great difference in my business if I could sell a little bit of it. Your clans steel goes for a hefty price, you know!""Well, the compound opens on Wednesdays. They always sell a good amount of weaponry and armor to the surface merchants. Try tomorrow," Ryuu said with a grin, bowing slightly and then turning away from the stall. He turned a little too fast, bumping into someone almost as soon as he had. He place his hands on the person shoulders, trying to steady them both. "I'm so sorry!" he exclaimed, blushing intensely, starting to stutter. Oh god. He'd run into a woman. He was doomed. WORDS 735 TAGS Hara KinNOTES Woot! And the fun begins! =D LAIKA OF GS! |

Some stronghold this was, a certain trickster mused quietly with a healthy dose of sarcasm. Hara Kin had arrived to Iwa to test the rumors about the famous defenses. They... hadn’t exactly been what she had expected. Sure, this place would’ve been difficult to attack during a war, but infiltration was a whole different story. After seeing the security wasn’t any different from home, or any other ninja village, she had just walked in through the front gate. No tricks, no disguise, just the usual outfit of a dark, sleeveless jumpsuit. So far no one had even stopped her to ask what a kunoichi from Konoha was doing so far from home. It was kind of funny actually.
Since the rumors had turned out to be just fluff, Hara had settled for the next best thing: sightseeing. She did enjoy diving into the local culture, even when the running theme seemed to be stones, pebbles and rocks. Really. These people couldn’t seem to get enough of the stuff. Streets, buildings, pretty much everything was made from it. Even the villagers had turned out to be bit... heh... stone-faced. She hadn’t managed to get anyone crack a smile, much less laugh. In the end, the Kitsune had just saved her jokes and gotten a snack from a random stand, some local dango. Yummy! For little dough balls on a stick, these things sure were tasty. Munching happily, she strolled down the street.
Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end.
Out of the blue, someone bumped right into the relaxed kunoichi. Her fingers slipped and the tasty treat was flung twirling into the air. Up it went, right between their heads and down it came the exact same route. Hara had no chance to even try catching it as the stranger grabbed her by the shoulders. She could only watch as the poor snack hit the dirt, rolling right into her toes. It was still warm too... The trickster sighed and her smile made way for a childish pout. "Aww... I guess the snack time is over..." The deep disappointment in her voice was meant to cut deep.
For once, she had someone to blame...
When the man apologized, Hara lifted her gaze and opened her eyes just enough to reveal the gleaming pupils. For a moment, she didn’t say anything and only stared. Gold met gold as she seemed to glare right into his soul. "No... Not yet..." She shook her head with an ominous whisper. Slowly, her eyes widened and lips spread into an outright psychotic grin. Within a heartbeat, her pupils shrank and entire body tensed. "But you will be." To underline the dark tone, her fingers started twitching erratically, as if they had a mind of their own and were trying to decide whether to slap the man or strangle him.
After what felt like a small eternity, the manic look melted away in a burst of genuine laughter. "Pffhthahaha~ You should see the look on your face~" Calming down, slightly at least, the Kitsune regained her usual, foxy expression and stuck out her tongue playfully. "I’m just messing with you~" All traces of disappointment were already swept away by her cheerful nature. Needless to say, she didn’t hold the loss of her treat against the man. Accidents happened. Besides, she could always get a new one. Taking advantage of the moment of hilarity, she lifted a finger and gently tapped the man on the nose. "Boop." Why? Because she could. |

Ryuunosuke stared blankly at the woman in front of him, his mind racing to a million thoughts at once. His first observation was her forehead protector, which was tied around her waist, not that he was trying to look there. His bashfulness had kicked in and he was grasping at straws for something to say to her. Lifting his head, he scratched the back of his head, a nervous smile on his features, pausing when her own expression turned dark and a little threatening. 'No, no, no. I don't want her fight her right here,' he told himself, taking a small step back, just barely bumping into another person. His shoulders sunk and he avoided the angry stares he was getting. What did he just get himself into? "L-Look. I'll buy you another one. I'll by you five if you want me to!" he said, putting his hands out in front of him out of nervousness. "I'm sorry for bumping into you, I really am. I'm usually a lot more graceful than this," he started to ramble, looking at everyone but Hara. God, why did he have his reaction with women? If he was speaking to his comrades or his clan mates, he was fine, but civilians or anyone he didn't know turned him into a sloppy, stuttering mess. Ryuunosuke stuffed his hands into his pockets, swallowing hard before he jumped, feeling the woman's finger on his nose as she made fun of the expression on his face. Golden eyes grew wide and he followed the path that her hand took, frowning to himself. The Iwagakure jounin blushed intensely, looking at his feet again. "I didn't catch your name," he muttered toward the ground, refusing to look at her now. He was curious and did want to know what this woman was doing here, but custom called for pleasantries first. He didn't know how he was going to do that when he could hardly talk to a woman in the first place, but he was sure as hell going to try. "I'm Ryuunosuke. You can just call me Ryuu, if you'd like. Don't get me confused with all of the other Ryuu's around here. There's a lot of them," he was starting to ramble again, hardly keeping track of his words. "Please, may I buy you another snack? It's my fault that this one is in the dirt," he noted, lightly kicking at the dirtied snack that lay lonely where Hara had dropped it. WORDS 414 TAGS Hara KinNOTES Woot!

While enjoying the flustered reaction, Hara also took in the details. The height, the thick clothing, the good looks and the hopelessly awkward behavior... Oh yes, this young man would be so much fun! He clearly wasn’t very good around girls, yet he kept struggling on. How very fascinating. There weren’t people like this in her home village. She would absolutely enjoy every moment of playing with this nervous stranger. Mean? Maybe... But it amused her.
Upon being asked a name, the secretive trickster wagged her finger. "Hee, my name is very elusive~ If you aren’t sharp, you’ll never catch it~" Of course she wouldn’t reveal her identity all that easily. ...Despite the little fact that most people here probably wouldn’t recognize her by the real name. Still, she liked to keep certain pieces of information to herself. Only the people she liked deserved the truth, while the rest would get... smaller truths. With a mysterious smile, the playful woman took a step backward and gave a little bow, much like theater performer. "For now, you may call me... Kitsune." She preferred nicknames anyway.
Speaking of which...
Hara nodded, approving the nickname offered. It was short, sweet and rolled off the tongue nicely. "Alright then, Ryuu. I’ll be sure to keep you separate from any wannabe Ryuu’s running around." She naturally couldn’t resist joking around. Much to the trickster’s glee, Ryuu also happened to confirm that his fearful promise for compensation was still good. Or maybe he was just such a gentleman. Either way, he really didn’t need to offer twice. "Hm, deal! Come on, let’s go!" In a heartbeat, she grabbed the man by the long sleeve and dragged him off, just like an excited child. There was a surprising amount of power in that small frame.
Dashing through the streets, the blonde duo arrived to the dango stand in no time. A delicious aroma circled in the air. An older gentleman was busy working his magic when the trickster chimed in to interrupt. "Hello again, mister! I’ll take two this time." Smiling mischievously, she suddenly leaned up to the young man near her and lovingly wrapped her arms around him. "My new boyfriend is paying~" To really sell the lovey-dovey impression, she held her head against him and giggled. In reality, it was nothing more than a joke, a jab to see how the stranger would react. And her instinct was certain it would be hilarious. |

"Kitsune?" he started, watching the little trickster with a surprised expression. What kind of name was that? Kitsune? Oh well. He guessed it wasn't that uncommon for someone to want to go by their nickname. It just bothered Ryuunosuke when he couldn't really know a person. Having questions deflected and little half truths given to him sometimes threw the jounin off. He could tell that she was observing her for his reaction, but he only smile and nodded. "It's very nice to meet you, Kitsune!" he greeted, the nervousness starting to dissipate a little bit. Women made him flustered. Well, most women. There were some that he was actually able to function around, at least when it came to his personal life. When he was on business, he had no issues conversing with those of the opposite gender. Ryuunosuke observed his new partner in crime, scratching the back of his blonde head with a light chuckle. "Well, thanks. I don't think I'm too worried about the other Ryuu's. It's not that confusing, after all," he said with a smile that could light up the world. Running his hand along his long ponytail, he absently picked out a piece of rock that must have fallen from the top of the tunnels on his way out of the Underworld. He flicked it toward the ground without another thought before he let out a surprised squall, being dragged by his jacket sleeve toward the dango stand. 'She's pushy,' he noted to himself, his eyes wide as he stumbled behind her, the height difference between them making him have to bend over as she lead him along. When they reached the stand, he stood up straight once more, brushing himself off in an attempt to compose himself from the surprise. The nervousness returned when Kitsune put her arms around him, curling against his body as she told the shop keeper that her new- wait what?! New boyfriend?! His golden eyes grew wide and he stared incredulously down at his little leech, not even getting a chance to protested before the shop keeper threw out his hand for the money. Untangling his arms from under Kitsune's grasp, he grabbed his wallet from inside of his red leather jacket, taking out the money that was owed plus a little tip before tucking it away and taking the food. "Thank you for your service! Good luck with your new boyfriend!" the shop keeper called as he turned back toward his kitchen. Ryuunosuke shook his head. She was not his girlfriend. He had his eye on someone else and he would be damned if he betrayed her like that. Shaking Kitsune off, he handed her the food, his expression remaining friendly as he said the words "I'm not your boyfriend." He even took a step back for good measure, wondering where she had gotten the idea that they were anything but acquaintances. He'd simply been nice enough to replace his foreign shinobi's food that he'd so ungracefully knocked from her grasp. WORDS 503 TAGS Hara KinNOTES Woot! And the fun begins! =D LAIKA OF GS! |

While Ryuu escaped the grasp, Hara swiftly snatched the snacks. She stuck out her tongue, playfully mocking the blonde man for stating the obvious. "Correct. Well done, Detective Ryuu." If her hands hadn’t been full, she would’ve even given the fellow a patronizing pat. Taking a bite, she happily skipped down the street to find the next interesting sight. "But! It’s too late to say that now." She stopped ahead of the man and twirled around to face him with a cheeky smile. "I already got my free stuff and started a nice little rumor." As always, it was all just a game she played.
Hara was about to continue skipping along when a tiny realization snuck up to her. She had no idea where to head next. Better yet, she didn’t need to know, because her new source of amusement was standing right there. A local with money, a good sense of humor and no idea what he had gotten himself into... As she stared at the man, a sly grin took over her features. Her eyes opened just enough to reveal a little, mischievous glint. For a fleeting moment, the expression was nothing short of sinister, though the thoughts behind it were merely playful. This was absolutely perfect. Oh yes, they were going to have so much fun together~
...Whether he wanted it or not.
The Kitsune took another bite and snuck very close to the man, circling around him slowly. "So, what case are you going to solve next, detective?" Yup, that was the teasing nickname she had chosen. She quickly devoured the first serving of tastiness and twirled the stick between her fingers. "Maybe the mystery of disappearing dango?" Giving the fellow some personal space again, she turned her gaze towards the streets and buildings. So far she couldn’t spot anything outstanding, but hopefully her new buddy would know better. "Or perhaps you could reveal the secrets of the best sightseeing spots, hm?" She emphasized the disguised request with a pleading look, like a little sister asking a favor from the big brother.
Waiting for the reaction, Hara continued to snack on her dango. ...Well, what little there was left anymore. She was admittedly a little hungry after the long trip, so the quick treat really hit the spot. After the last crumbs vanished, she idly wiped her mouth and smiled. "Yummeh~!" Now she was ready to follow the man wherever he wanted to go. Most people might’ve been at least slightly careful about going anywhere with a total stranger, but the Kitsune didn’t worry one bit. This guy seemed nice. And if he tried to trick the trickster... Hee, the poor thing would just end up embarrassing himself~ |

Ryuunosuke remained where he was, his gaze trailing over the market place and the various shops and stalls, taking note of the places that he wanted to look. He always observed others wears, especially if they were made of steel or metal. It was great to see what kind of competition there would be in the quality of steel. The Suoh's had never been beaten, but it was always a fun treat to find someone who came close. "Rumors mean nothing if the people around you know the truth, Kitsune," Ryuu noted as he brought his gaze back toward the Konoha jounin. That goofy grin still settled on his features, and it wasn't likely to leave for quite some time. The Suoh clan was so laid back that sometimes they were underestimated. Then, when you weren't expecting it, you would find yourself flat on your back with something steel and sharp pointing right at you, or, even worse, an automaton heading right toward you. The Iwa jounin pulled his coat up tighter around his shoulders, shivering slightly as a slight breeze blew through the city. This was the only thing he hated about the overworld. It was so cold up here. Though, maybe if he got himself moving around again, and not dumbly struck still by the Kitsune, maybe he'd warm up a bit. Debating her question of him showing her the different sights around Iwagakure, he lifted a blonde eyebrow. It couldn't hurt. Unless, of course, she was here to spy. Then he would promptly pull her to the gates of Iwagakure and throw her right out on her ass. He hated people who tried to snoop too much, and when you were messing with his village, you'd crossed the line. Toy with him and play around as much as you want, but when you started to do the same to the people of his village or his friends, the dragon came out. "I guess I could show you around. Though there's not much that's interesting in the village. Outside the village theres more to see. Let me think," he noted, tapping his chin lightly as he debated where he should take the Kitsune to pass the time. He had a few hours anyway, and he could spare some time. "There's an Iwagakure museum. The old mines are really cool to go and look through. A lot of these stalls have some really amazing things in them, so they're worth looking at. But the best part is that," Ryuunosuke noted, pointing up toward the top of a mountain that overlooked the village. "Climbing that is one of the most amazing experiences in the world. Then again, we all like rocks here," he chuckled playfully. Tucking his hands into his pockets, Ryuunosuke stared at the Kitsune, "So what do you say, Kitsune. Want to climb a mountain and see the entire village of Iwagakure in one go? The view is quite amazing, though it's quite cold up there," he admitted. "Though you're talking to a man who lives deep underground and only sets foot on the surface when he absolutely has to."WORDS 522 TAGS Hara KinNOTES Woot! And the fun begins! =D LAIKA OF GS! |

The Kitsune could hardly contain her excitement when her new buddy agreed to show her around. She was getting all giddy just thinking what she could discover. Some good restaurants, secret shortcuts, ooh, maybe even a playground... Unfortunately, the sensation didn’t last. When the fellow started listing, ahem, less than interesting locations, Hara almost complimented him on the joke. Some boring museum, random mines, these stalls... Really? The creeping realization he was actually serious resulted in an utterly flat stare, shortly followed by a small yawn just drive the point home. Perhaps they had just slightly differing views on what counted as entertaining.
However, at the mention of the mountain, Hara stopped to stroke her chin. It sounded kind of like an adventure and she did like breathtaking landscapes. Distance and time were tiny details that could be sorted out later anyway. Before she could make up her mind though, she simply had to take a sarcastic jab at the rock joke. "Oh really? I had no idea." Admittedly the mere mention of cold made Hara’s toes curl as her vivid imagination gave her shivers, but she had already decided it was too late to back down now. There were ways to stay warm after all... "Sure, I’m up for a little hike. Lead the way~" She even gave her guide a shove of encouragement.
...Into an entirely wrong direction.
After that, the Kitsune settled for following along. Whether it came to walking down the streets or dashing over the rooftops, she always stayed exactly four steps behind the man. It was an old habit. Soon, she jumped back to an earlier mention, tactfully as usual. "...So, you are a mole man then. Fascinating." While there were countless sensible ways to discern what the man had actually meant by living underground, the nonsensical one amused her far more. "Do you stay underground for the cool atmosphere or the tasty worms?" And of course she was sticking with the joke, pretending to be all serious with the question. It was a rare treat to meet a stranger with a sense of humor after all.
As one idea led to another, Hara’s gaze wandered onto the man’s clothing, especially the hidden hands. Though the whole thing had started off as a joke, now it was tickling her curiosity. "Heeey... Is that why you are all covered up?" Dressing warm was one thing, but most people didn’t go that far... Unless they had something to hide. Suddenly the trickster lunged at his arm, her eyes gleaming with the keen intent to peel off the sleeve. "Are you hiding your diggy claws there, hm? Come ooon~ Show meee~" The playful assault wasn’t exactly violent, not yet at least, just stubborn. Until her thirst for secrets was sated, she wouldn’t let the guy squirm away. |
