Following the Stars

Thirty years after the war...

Not everyone deserves to be held in a cell. Some people are just at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Some people are blamed for others' doings. Then some, are just flat out blamed. These wouldn't even be the case for some prisoners, but for a particular one, it followed something that this man had to offer. An ability, that the people of Yoshigakure couldn't wait to get their hands on. He would be Shikimi, that's his name. But his name wouldn't be what had gotten the village's attention, but instead, it would be his special, unique, never before seen ability.

Prison Break
The square area, was maybe a ten by ten area, with literally no door, and only a small window with iron bars in it. It was clear this was a prison, and sitting in a corner of the prison cell, Shikimi, a thirty-two year old man barely held onto his life. His clothing was torn, his arms and legs, held together by shackles. In through the cell came a small bug, and it landed directly on his nose. Using what little movement he had over his own arms and hands, he swung at his nose, causing the bug to fly off. The bug came back again, and Shikimi would repeat his previous action. Shikimi became annoyed, but his facial action hadn't shown no difference.

While it was true he was annoyed, in all honesty Shikimi didn't have the energy, and especially not the chakra to continuously fend off the bug. In all honesty it was hard for the man to even breath, in short, he couldn't do anything. Well, if you count sitting in a hell hole. Then of course that something. It had been nearly seventeen hours since he'd gotten his last meal, which basically was his energy. Thoughts ran through Shikimi's head, but even those were hard to connect with. And still, through all of this, the bug sat on his nose. It was all confusing, with one last attempted, Shikimi swatted at the bug, but this time it didn't move at all. It didn't budge at all. Shikimi just couldn't put his finger on it. What? Why?

One of the four guards that watched the cell, peeped through the small window and the bug flew off of him. Shikimi watch him, he never felt so helpless in his life. The man moved away, and the bug returned to Shikimi's nose. Shikimi's eye brow lifted. The guards looked every thirty minutes, so he'd take a gamble. Scurrying over to the middle of the cell, he sat criss-cross. He sat perfectly still, and suddenly the bug began to glow, then dissolve into Shikimi's body. Shikimi's once dull self, was no more. In that split second it would all be different, everything would change, and what was first...those wretched shackles. By literally pulling his arms away from each other, Shikimi brother the shackles on his wrist, and the ones on his legs. Standing at the front of the cell, he simply kicked the wall, causing it to just fall.

As the guards looked into the cell opening Shikimi stood in a unique stance. His arms out, and his legs set firmly. That white snowy hair, was at this moment, on the head of a demon. The guard that looked in from earlier spoke out. "How'd you?!" Shikimi cut him off, and if anyone else had something to say, they'd be cut off as well. "I'll kill you all!" Shikimi shouts, lunging outwards at the man. Using a simple knee, he knocked the first one out. Then basic punches on the rest, would easily knock them out. This was his arhat style of fighting. Completely monstrous, and with a shinobi like Shikimi practicing it, it was nothing short of perfecting.

Shikimi look to his left, one of the men he'd just taken down had blades on his back. The blades were too familiar, and he knew exactly what they were. Reaching to the man's back Shikimi picked up his blades, and placed them on his own back. Also taking the man's shoes. A woman who'd been running over towards Shikimi at the time, found herself knocked out by another guard who had also been on the way. Shikimi was completely angered. The man smiled slowly, a demonic smirk indeed.

"Shikimi, just go ahead and come slowly. But to be honest, after hearing of your capabilities, I mourned the day to face you. And now I have my chance. The Yoshikage won't make it here for some time, so what would men I have a little play time." The man lifted his hands, then from the ground blue sand arose. The sand and everything sparked a plug in his head.

"You're Hyaku of the Diamond Dust. What exactly would your father want from you?" Shikimi questions then jumped back a little.

Hyaku quick swung his hand, "Diamond Dust Tsunami!" In the same instance Hyaku's sand vanished. "Damn, didn't expect him to be so quick." Hyaku states, jumping back awaiting something.
