1st Prayer Ω Voice/Action

Ahhhhh... [The sound of some sort of liquid relief can be heard, which probably doesn't make this entry all that pleasing to the ear. At least until the guy doing it starts to talk over it.] Let me get this straight.

I don't understand this fucking book, but there's a bunch of people talking through it. Unless this is some real crappy prank, guess I'm gonna have to do the same thing. How does this thing even work!? [Wait. He thinks he's got it.] One of you heathens answer this for me! What's the fucking deal with this place?

[There's a hesitant pause. It's enough of a pause to hear that he's finishing up his business.]

Y'know what? Forget that. Where's the nearest public bathroom? [That's where a bounty office might be, right?] Someone inside this book fucking spill it already! C'mon!

[Action]

[Later after his amazing attempt at gathering information, Hidan can be found wandering inside of the village in his New Feather pants doing one of two things.

1) When he's not moving around in an attempt to figure out where he is and why he doesn't really believe anyone else about this place, he's sitting on a bench with his hand on his neck. His fingers comb over his stitches softly.

It's not the stitches that bother him, or the fact that he was supposedly buried alive moments before awakening here. No, that was thanks to Jashin.

His necklace was missing, and that was bothering him.

2) If you don't run into him at any of these two times, feel free to run into him while he was artfully making his original journal entry. Surely he wasn't in an actual bathroom at the time. Might have been near your house or something. He's a crude guy.]

[And that's when Shikamaru only sidesteps, rooting his feet to the ground and hopefully throwing off Hidan's momentum. He extends his arm straight forward.]

Neither are you.

[Remember that tree he through his chakra blade into? It's exploding now, and shooting out fire and shrapnel straight for their path.]

[SURE ENOUGH. Shikamaru's used that explosion to put some distance between them. Before it's fully cleared, Hidan might catch sight of him since he seems to have switched to moving on the treetops.]

[He's definitely gaining as they get closer to the slope here. Shikamaru risks a look over his shoulder looking more than a little uncomfortable with how much Hidan is gaining on him.

In response, once they hit the slope he drops down into the lower branches in an obvious attempt to lose visibility.]

[LOOKS LIKE YOU LOST HIM ANYWAYS. He knows these trees like the back of his hand by now. But given he can't be too far, if Hidan stops wrecking with that scythe he'll probably be able to hear him.]
endgames: (Aha)

[Wow what makes you think that- oh hey there's some sound coming from over here; a thin disturbance of leaves like someone's otherwise trying to work quietly.]
endgames: (that's interesting)

[The next sequence of events happens almost instantaneously:

SNAP goes a trip wire. It won't be obvious what it was attached to at first, likely because when Hidan swings what his scythe meets will be the trunk of a tree which promptly caves in. The walls are still thick, but the center is oddly hollowed out to the bottom, though not naturally. If you were on the inside, it would be cramped.

Next, what that trip wire was attached to will be making itself known. There's a large branch that was bent back at a harsh angle. Released from the wire holding it, it will be turning 180 degrees on its way back to its original position: from behind Hidan.

If he's still standing there, it'll run into him with enough force to knock him through that hole he made with his scythe.]

[And that echoing shout means his plan worked. Shikamaru comes out of his hiding spot, which turns out to have not been far. He was on the backside of the same tree, where he'd teased the wire to rattle the branch and draw Hidan's attention.

Stepping back to where Hidan had been standing moments ago, Shikamaru peers into the hole.]


Too slow.

[Peers but not too close, in case Hidan didn't fall far, or isn't as stuck as he'd hoped. Just enough so his voice will carry down to him.]

[Ah, good and stuck. Shikamaru rests one hand against the tree and leans in closer, voice once again turning gravely serious as it echoes down to him.]

This is the only warning you'll get from me. Twice now you've fallen at my hand.

My teacher is avenged, but don't think you've been spared my judgement. If you do anything to provoke a third encounter, you'll get worse than what I've done unto you before.

[Shikamaru answers anyways, with the tone of someone who didn't care whether Hidan knew or not.]

They have many interesting techniques. [Shikamaru pats the trunk of the tree. It's not obvious yet, but the hole Hidan fell through is slowly repairing itself.] One was used to hollow out this tree, in fact.

Since the time that was done... I'd say it's been one year.

It'll keep you long enough.

[The hole continues to heal over. Ugh, using Faeren for something this big is a pain. Talking all this time has been a distraction for it, and it's making him feel slimy.]

If you still haven't gotten it afterwards, I have nothing to fear.

[...it's not too late to kill him, probably. He could burn down this tree. If his wings burn, he'd still die. He could even hold him with the Shadow Bind to make sure he couldn't run.

It wouldn't be difficult. Might even be smart.

Naruto would be ashamed of me.]

[Naruto would be ashamed. Not just of that, but of the other dozen plans running through his head.

Sometimes Shikamaru wishes he had the same capacity for forgiveness, but even if he did he knows it wouldn't matter. This isn't about Asuma anymore. It's about making sure that what happened to him doesn't happen to anyone else, and Shikamaru knows he will take every drastic measure to fulfill that. It's a sick feeling much like the one he felt the last time he buried Hidan, and it makes him smile.]


I hope I'm there when you realize how screwed you are.

[It makes him smile because he's not that better off.

He won't say anything else while the hole seals over.]
