After the Fourth Great Shinobi World War ended, the world was experiencing a time of peace. The villages for once were able to live in relative harmony with one another as they rebuilt, and for once, all seemed to be well. The kage were able to live peaceful lives and soon began retiring, passing on the baton to the next generations. That is until an unknown virus infects the northern coast. The first to fall is the once powerful Raikage, Ay. While many thought this virus was a simple mutation of what may have well been the flu, no one would ever think of the destruction it would cause. Especially when it infected a certain Uzumaki Naruto.
With his death came the malice; with the malice came the destruction; with the destruction came the shinobi' revolt; and with the revolt came the sacrifices. The Bijuu became filled with malice that they sought to destroy the world. Shinobi sought a way to fight them and once again capture each of the Bijuu. Time passed, and a plan was devised. The Jinchuuriki would be sacrificed for the greater good of the world, and with the deaths of nine individuals, an uneasy peace began.
As time continued, the villages began to truly restructure. In a peace that would last 80 years after the downfall of the Bijuu, the world would see the creation of a great many things. Technology was beginning to take root and before long the blossoms that grew from the tree of the advanced mind would bear fruit. A many great things came to be. A railroad between the vast many nations. Mechanical limbs to replace lost ones. Radios that could reach between villages. Everything seemed to be becoming less reliant on the shinobi. Only the need for them never truly vanished. As with the growth of time, also continued the growth of malice.

Talk about your series of unfortunate events. He thought that he was safe in the trees yet he forgot about the big cat that she had with her. As he saw it climb up the tree next to him he was about to jump to another for safety when he felt four hundred pounds of muscle and fur ram into him and cut deep into his shoulders with its claws and drive him out of the tree. The blonde cried in pain as he felt his back collide with the hard earth and felt electricity jolt through his entire body which was soon silenced by the sight of the inside of the lion's mouth around his head. Was this really the end? Wolf eaten by lion? Sort of ironic yet fitting in some weird law of the wild sort of way.
Closing his eyes he waited for the worst only to hear her voice tell the cat not to eat him. Instead she was going to...use him? Was she taunting him too? If only his skills were more polished and she didn't have a dang large animal with her he might be able to show her a thing or too. A boy can dream can't they? "Yeah... still like a statue. So what are ya gonna do now? Take me in...or try and interrogate me for knowledge?" the out of breath blonde questioned his captor, blue daggers pointed at her as he glared at the other shoton user.

"Yeah... still like a statue. So what are ya gonna do now? Take me in...or try and interrogate me for knowledge?"
Rin tapped her lip, then reached forward and pinched Okami's nose.
“I am the worst interrogator,” she said, not letting go. “I might make you teach me that nifty crystal dragon thingie. In exchange, how about Rasta doesn't crush your head like a rotten watermelon?” The large lion grunted, tongue scraping the blonde's head with the sound and certainly making his ears ring. “Maybe I'll teach you how to make little trinkets, too.” Pinching just a bit harder, Rin released his nose. Shifting around Rasta's large legs, Rin pulled the Iwa nin's hands behind him, encasing them from the wrist to the fingertips in dense, red crystal. He wouldn't be able to move a finger, let alone weave seals to escape.
“Drop 'im, Rasta.”
The lion parted his jaws, dropping Okami on the ground, spitting out the tuft of blonde hair that had been raked off by his tongue. The blonde's hair stuck out this way and that, saturated in saliva with pink little streaks mixing in with the saliva where Rasta's teeth had punctured his skin. Rin wrinkled her nose. Eww... Digging in her bag, she withdrew the hand towel she carried and rubbed it on Okami's head. With a huff, the lion reverted to his tiny form, visibly tired.
“I'm taking you in. Depending on what your answers are for the people who will interrogate you, you should get off after some detainment time. Answer nicely; I'd like to visit you again and swap some skills. Don't tell me no, now~ now get on your feet. I'm not a medic, and Rasta's claws probably did a lot of damage, so you might not wanna struggle, but just in case...”
Withdrawing a spool of wire from her pouch, Rin unreeled about ten feet of it, using a kunai to cut it. Fashioning a loop on the end, she slipped it over the blonde's head. It wasn't a tight noose, but he'd be smarter than to try taking off with razor wire around his neck and his hands bound in a block of crystal. Ensureing he was where she wanted him to be, she started moving back towards home, taking the puppy with her on the makeshift leash.

He didn't even say a word, although he wanted to when the lion's tongue pulled some hairs off of the boy's head, as she told him what she wanted from him and encased his hands in crystal, crystal harder than Okami's own. Soon the lion's teeth were off of his head and a towel was rubbed against it to clean off the saliva. Again he said no words and just glared at both of them as a leash was put around his neck and he was led into back towards the leaf village.
As he walked with them he decided he might as well use this time to make some small talk, if he didn't he'd probably go a bit insane with all this waiting. "So swap skills huh? That could be nice, learn a few new tricks, plus its all new tricks for each of us so everyone wins. But why should I after you nearly killed me hm? Why would I wanna help an enemy shinobi get stronger?" It was probably going to get him killed in the long run, but at least she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him if he did die.
i'll be anything you want BUT I WON'T BE YOUR GLASS FIGURINE
Rin tugged the male along by the wire. He certainly didn't seem so keen on that transaction.
“To be fair, you nearly killed me, too. Besides, I wouldn't ask you for something without offering somethin' in return. I want to learn your dragon. I showed you most of my skills; anything you want to learn? Call it a souvenir. Maybe you wanna learn how to have a big, bad wolf. Or a tiny one,” she tacked on with a smirk, looking back at him. It would be a couple hour walk back to the village, so may as well make the best of the traveling.

Well she wasn't wrong when she said he tried to kill her, of course in his defense it was...self defense after all. What was he supposed to do let himself be captured? No way he was letting that happen...despite it happening anyway. Oh well...might as well take her up on her offer, he had to admit that giant wolf was pretty cool.
"Okay you got me there. I guess I can teach you the dragon jutsu. In return you can teach me that large wolf jutsu or whatever it was, would be nice to have something like that, oh, do you know how to make weapons out of crystal? That might be a bit more handy in my case." he said as he imagined himself wielding a multitude of weapons made of crystal. Sure he practiced more ninjutsu than tai or kenjutsu but it couldn't hurt to have your own personal armory right? "So is that a deal? And how much longer do we gotta keep walking too, kinda hoping I don't spend too long in this country..."

“What's wrong big guy, gotta pee?” she asked with a grin at his reluctance to keep walking. “If you can hold it, there's a way-station 20 minutes from here. If not, I'll hold it for you~”
Hopefully he didn't; that would be irritating. Rasta bounded forward on his pudgy paws, jumping to cling onto Rin's clothes with his claws and scrambling up to flop around her small shoulders. He was tired of walking.
“You wanna know how to make big animals or weapons, kid? One or the other. Limited to your imagination, though. Animals are a lot harder to make and control but more powerful; weapons are more versatile and you can share them.”

"I'm fine, I can hold it in." the blonde replied, not like she would give him some privacy even if he did have to go, she'd probably have her lion keep an eye on him, so there went that plan of escaping via the bathroom window. Moving on from a failed plan B of escape he gave what she said some thought. Weapons or animals, as cool as animals were he already knew which one he would want to learn. "Weapons. Seems more handy than animals in my eyes."

"I'm fine, I can hold it in."
“Great,” she sniffed, keeping at the same pace, “Saves me the trouble of digging in your pants.”
"Weapons. Seems more handy than animals in my eyes."
“You'd be surprised,” she said, looking back at him with glittering eyes. The animal ones were her favorite, even if they were harder to control. Depending on what kind of animal made, the possibilities were endless. “But weapons it is. You can go home to your friends and show off your neat new tricks.”
The only reason Rin was so keen on sharing was that she felt a tiny kinship with this boy, having never met another crystal user. She'd make sure he didn't get roughed up too bad by the interrogators.

If she had went and dug into his pants he might actually liked it, mostly so that she would be close enough for him to deliver a headbutt right into her face. Although his eyebrow was slightly raised when she said he would be surprised, but he just decided to ignored it, at least he was probably learning a new jutsu if he was still alive after interrogations.
"And you can learn how to make a giant dragon if I'm still alive, which reminds me, if you have a jutsu that makes animals...why do you need to learn mine? Can't you just make a dragon all on your own? Seems kind of moot if you think about it you know."

“Your dragon is different than my animals. It could fly. My animals can't fly. I wanna know how to make a flying dragon. 'Sides, I wanna keep you for a little while. I'll make sure they don't kill you.”
She stuck her tongue out at him.
“We're almost at the waystation. I can get you a candy bar from the vending machine or something. I'm just doin' my job, doesn't mean I have to be a bad person while doing it. And the place is pretty secure, so don't go tryin' anything.”

Was the tongue thing really necessary? It made him feel like such a little kid. Still he was a bit hungry. "Chocolate bar please? Haven't had one in a long time." If you count three days a long time. He could still use the snack to calm his nerves, god forbid he be nervous during an interrogation and we all know how bad that is.
i'll be anything you want BUT I WON'T BE YOUR GLASS FIGURINE
"Chocolate bar please? Haven't had one in a long time.".
“Sure!” Rin chirped happily, nearly oblivious to the male's clear discomfort. The only thing she was interested in was the fact that she was going to learn a new jutsu, and that made her elated, because it was a crystal jutsu when she'd never met another user until now. She'd love another spar to exercise their skills together without them trying to kill one another, but that may be asking the boy too much. Rin didn't really care too much about the relations between villages; every person was different. She was only doing her job. Enemies were people with day jobs, too. She didn't need to harbor any kind of feelings for a group of people she'd never met.
After a while more of walking with limited chatter, they reached the waystation. Leading the male inside, she stopped him, standing on her toes to see the wire noose properly. Turning it so that the slipknot was on the back, she made a ball of crystal in two places on the wire: one where the knot was tied to prevent it from being untied, and one in front of the slip to prevent it from opening enough for him to get it off of his head. When that was done, Rin lifted the pudgy lion from her shoulder and set him on the floor, balling the other end of the wire and encasing that with a small block of crystal as well for Rasta to hold in her mouth. Satisfied, she moved around the male, disintegrating the crystal that bound his hands together.
“Bathroom's over there,” she pointed, “Rasta will go with you. Try anything, and he has permission to eat you.”
A wink at the lion told him, no, he couldn't actually eat him, and the feline pouted around the pink block of crystal in his teeth. However, since the Iwa shinobi had already been inside the lion's mouth, she doubted he'd have trouble believing her.
“I'll be out here with your chocolate bar, and then we can get going.”

Just as he figured even in a restroom he wasn't getting any sort of privacy. At least it was just her lion and not herself coming in to keep and eye on him. At least he had free use of his hands even if he couldn't do nothing with them lest he loose his head. Standing in the stall he lowered his pants a bit and did his business, his eyes trained on the lion keeping guard. "You know you don't have to watch me do this...You do have me on a leash." he said as he finished up and washed his hands before heading back outside. "There, I'm finished, can we go now?" He said as he took his chocolate bar she got for him from her hands and began eating it. "So...Lef's go." He said with a mouth full of chocolate as he waited for her to take him away.
i'll be anything you want BUT I WON'T BE YOUR GLASS FIGURINE
Rasta narrowed his eyes in irritation, accepting the bob of crystal into his jaws. It wasn't exactly tasteless, it was just... weird. Either way, he trotted alongside the human male as they headed towards the restroom, easily ignoring the stares of people as a miniature adult lion trotted through the station with a human on a leash of wire. Waiting for the push-swing-door to be opened, he followed the male onto the tile, soft paws making no sound as they walked. Once a stall was chosen, the lion sat, waited, and stared.
Humans, he scoffed to himself. Needlessly complicated creatures.. They needed their “privacy” and needed special “toilet” things and “paper.” It was just a load of nonsense. If you gotta go, then lift your tail, pop a squat, and let it flow. Kick the dirt over it and move on. Simple.
"You know you don't have to watch me do this...You do have me on a leash."
Rasta's electric-blue eyes narrowed to pinpoints. Did this human just have the audacity to tell him what to do? With a bit of an oh-so-scary miniature growl, the lion stood and backed away, pulling the wire noose that much tighter. Don't eat him, Rin had said. She said nothing about not killing him. But, at the same moment, the big male had finished his business and moved, the pulling pointless when the slack fell in the wire. Well, fine. You were lucky this time. Once the hands were washed, Rasta trotted back out the door with the shinobi to meet his partner.
Rin had been studying the vending machine while the boys were in the potty. She'd already selected a bar with caramel, nuts, and chocolate; she couldn't say she'd ever found a person who did not like these. Selecting a bag of miniature chocolate chip cookies for herself, she popped open the bag to nibble on one, waiting near the men's room with the chocolate in-hand.
"There, I'm finished, can we go now?"
“Yep,” she replied, handing the candy off.
"So...Lef's go."
Without much of a reply, she took the crystal from her pet's mouth, absently wiping the saliva on her skirt before tugging wolfy along like an obedient little Leaf Poodle. Stopping midstep, she turned to glance at her reluctant companion; the shoulders of his dark apparel were sticky with the blood from Rasta's claws, and she frowned. Oops, better do something about that. Tough guy could pretend all he wanted but he could drop from that. Wrapping the wire around the wrist of her glove, Rin took the cookie bag into her teeth and put her hands on the boy's shoulders.
“Hang on kid,” she said through her teeth, “We don't do somethin' about this you may bleed out or somethin'.” Rin considered closing the wounds off with crystal, it worked in a pinch, but they still had a while to go. She frowned, then led him over to an area that had medical supplies. She wasn't a medic but as a taijutsu user she got into her fair share of medical mishaps and knew her way around a first aid kit.
Without giving Okami much of a choice, she sat him down on a bench, breaking the proximity barrer to weave the wire leash through the straps of his gear and disrobe his torso, smacking any hands that stopped her, cookie bag hanging freely from her teeth all the while. The lion hopped onto the bench next to the male to admire his paw-diwork before curling to relax. When she got the vest and shirt peeled off, the frown deepened. How was he not dizzy by now? Cracking open the kit, she took apart some things to wipe away the blood and smothered cotton with antibacterial to stuff in the actual holes, taping gauze overhead to keep everything in place. It was a pretty shoddy job, but it helped control the bleeding. Peeling open pill packets, Rin withdrew acetaminophen and a blood pill (that cost extra, but hey, she wanted this guy alive) and pushed them passed his lips, handing him the water bottle in her bag that, miraculously, actually contained water!
Stepping back, she admired her handiwork, looking the boy over. Man, if he wasn't one hot mess. His hair was getting crusty from Rasta's saliva and dried blood, his shoulders were torn up, and he was beat up. See, kid, if you'd just come with me, you could have been right as rain. But nooo you wanted to do it the hard way.
“It'll take a while yet to get there, but you'll get a comfy place to sleep tonight. After my report I might stop by tonight if they're done with you to discuss the details of our little training session. It'll be fun, Wolfy-kun, so look forward to it.”
Discarding the tank top (It was soaked in blood and filled with holes anyway), she returned to him his shinobi vest and cleaned up the soiled things from the kit, tossing them and rinsing her fingers in a drinking fountain like the trained professional that she was. Taking another mini-cookie to nibble on, she ensured the Iwa shinobi was ready to go and they set off for Konoha.
