((not sure if this is the place, or even the type of RP we are having here... but i figured i would post it, and if it wasn't somebody would get around to telling me sooner or later))
OOC: Anywho, the basic stuff to know: Time: 3rd Great War Place: Where the rift dropped them off People: Anyone currently in this time
IC: Dante sat up slowly, his hand reaching for his aching head as he tried to get a feel for his surroundings. It was times like this he was acutely aware of his own lack of sight, but it was times like these that he remember the reactions his accident has caused in people... he was determined to get along without that kind of babying. As his head slowly stopped spinning he stretched out his hands, sweeping them in a wide arc around him... a pointless motion for most this simple act was all Dante needed to get to know where he was. The breeze that spiraled around him like a soft sigh told him that he was in much the same place he had left... but the trees seemed younger, not quite as tall... Confused now, as well as lost, Dante struggled to his feet, "Kai, Rei... Zen!" he shouted out, searching desperately for his team... but when no answering call could be heard he concluded that whatever had happened to him had not infact happened to them.
"What now," He murmured to himself has he sank back to his knees, "Food, food and shelter are the first priority." Standing slowly he felt the air temperature, he needed to know how much time he had until night. Finally satisfied that he had anywhere from 5 to 6 hours he set off towards a low cluster of trees that seemed to be by running water, or at least the sound of running water. As he walked Dante found his steps unsure, his balance off... but with the unexplained change in scenery he figured that was to be expected. Moving slowly, to avoid any unneeded tumbles he crossed the grassy clearing to the little crop of trees... and then without pausing he bent low to the ground feeling for any fallen berries or animal tracks. From the smells in the air he was able to find a small blue berry bush near a gap in the roots of one of the larger trees.
But as he was just about to satisfy his growing hunger he heard a noise from outside the clearing. Feet approaching... but how many he was unable to determine due to the distortions made by the trees. Scrambling as quickly and quietly as he could he made for the gap in the roots... only the trip over a loose rock and tumble head first into the tree. This however he did not let slow him done, chances were high that he had been heard, he needed to hide now, and get an idea of who or what had found him. With those thoughts running through his mind he slide into the gap and spread his hands to feel the vibrations in the air that would help him pinpoint the new arrival or was it arrivals...
((and cue who ever else wants to show up from another time))

(( I plan on having a 'Main RP Thread' where the main plotline will be RP'd in, but the minor ones/sidequests are always good )) Kiba stopped at the command of his Chuunin teamleader's hand being raised into the air. "Movement, stay on your guard. Squad 3 take the left side, 4, take right." The Chuunin whispered over the radio. Kiba, being the leader of Squad 3, immediately moved in the forward right position, ready for an ambush and waiting for new orders. After surveying the area and finding only a rock, Kiba motioned 'OK' back to the leader. A second later, there was a deafening scream over the com device. Kiba moved to the right side, assuming something had happened to Team 4.

Dante could have hit himself for that little slip, he had misjudged the trap, the group that had moved in to his area had gone down right but they had radios... and now his location was compromised. He had to act fast if he was going to keep what few remaining advantages he had left, with a series of quick grabbing gestures he set what little of the wind he could to work, leaves rustling in one area, movement in another... if he could give the illusion of an entire squad then he might still have a chance, or at least that is what he told himself. Quickly taking the momentary confusion to scramble over to the unconscious forms of the squad his trap had caught. His wandering hands quickly found their way to one of the headbands, his fingers sliding along the smooth metal until they found the engraved symbol... Hoshi... an ally (i would assume.... at least for the time Dante is from....), or a trap. Dante had been told about tricks like this from the time of Orochimaru... a headband could only be trusted so far.
Just then he heard more movement behind him, there where more he knew... but this seemed like an awful lot of Hoshi ninja to be out and about. Quickly scratching a few words in the dirt he scrambled back into his hiding place willing the breeze to cover any tracks he might have left in the dirt. The message had been a simple one, and the writing should have been legible, he had practiced long hours after the accident to learn how to write without his sight. It read quite simply "Where... When are we... Who are you" And while he knew that the chances of an honest answer where low he hoped at least to hear the voice of how ever it was that found him... with any luck they would not think of disguise their accent, and from that he could confirm the village on the headband.

Kiba arrives in the general location of the scream and finds his teammates. He hapharzardly throws a Kunai at a rustle of leaves, then rushes to hsi teammates sides.
Just unconcious...
His breathing slows, and he begins speaking over the com. "Something hit them, but whatever it was it wasn't fatal."
"Right. Secure a perimeter I'll bring the medic." The Chuunin said. "Affirmative." Kiba responded, standing up and beginning to walk away, when he sees a message in the dirt. Without saying another word, he chucks another Kunai into the leaves, and follows up with a punch itno them, finding only his Kunai. Taking both, one in each hand, and standing ready.
"Who's there?" He shouted out. After a moment of silence, he spoke again. "It is the year 2030" (( idk what timeline Naruto is set in, 20 years after Shippuuden = this time )) "You're inside Hoshigakure territory, and I am Mitsukai Kiba."

Dante let out a low sign, 2030, that would explain the change in the age of the trees... but how did he get here, or when... he thought to himself only to find that his headache grew the more time he spent on the subject, and he couldn't take much more headache. Quickly forming a short series of seals for Shiryou, one of his unique jutsu, and a few extra not seemingly for anything. Motioning with his right hand he willed the air to press the button on the radio. Quickly bringing his hands together once more he completed the earlier change of signs for a second of his unusual gifts, Kaiden, with which he threw his next few words to the mouth piece of the radio. "I am coming out now, I am from konoha... but it was not 2030 when I left my village... it was 2010," he murmured doing his best to clam his unnerved thoughts as he came to terms with the idea that he was twenty years ahead of his time... in a more literal sense then he would have preferred. "My name is Dante..." he finally concluded before breaking off both jutsu.
With quiet steps he rose to his feet, forming one last seal before his head broke clear of the cover his berry bush had provided. "Youki" he whispered as the blurred image he could collect from the world around him came into sharp focus. Quickly he noted the kunai in the hands of Kiba, reaching down to his own leg pouch to loosen a weapon of his own. "Sorry for the trap.... I am a little disoriented right now...." He said as he stepped out of his cover... "You did say it was 2030... right..."

{name:Kiba#|#picture:0}"Wh-What?" Kiba stuttered. He had heard many strange things, but this was something very new. He shooks his head violently, and threw one of his Kunai at Dante.
"What do you think I am, stupid?!" He shouted at Dante, advancing on him.

{name:Dante#|#picture:0}This had been what Dante had been afraid of, a fight... and against some very unpleasant odds. But that was not something he had time for, shifting his hands to form each of the familiar seals. "Shiryou!" The boy said as he shifted his left hand up in a grabbing motion. At the same time he wiped his other hand around releasing his own kunai at this kiba. Then things started to happen that defied most laws of movement, the kunai the hoshi genin had thrown froze in place just in front of Dante, the second kunai, the one thrown by the blind boy, turned through the air to slice through the hair of its intended target. All the while each of Dante's hands followed the paths of the two closely -- directing their movements through the air.
"Look, my squad is gone, everyone I have ever known is twenty years older," he growled still trying to accept any of this himself, "and you are having a hard time believing any of this.... would you take a minute to think this through." To be honest he as getting angry, where was his squad... shouldn't they have been effected the same way. Dante had always been good at dealing with change... often he found that he enjoyed the new more then he had the old... but if what he had just been told was true then, well maybe he had had a bit too much change for once. "I don't want a fight," he finally managed to say, once he had calmed his own nerves a bit more.

Kiba scoffs, but lowers his other kunai.
"You said you knew people 20 years ago?" He asked, sceptical. Any second the rest of his squad would arrive. "Then you would know Hoshi's Kage from 20 years ago, yes?"
Kiba wanted to believe this man. He had been taught on all sorts of ways to detect lies, and this man was showing none. And from his skills it seemed he had the ability to kill Kiba right now, so why didn't he?
Kiba walked up to Dante and waited for an answer.

Slowly motioning with the hand that he had used to stop the kunai Dante pulled the blade closer as he took a moment to think. He had never been one for names and histories, more often then not he skipped such lessons to go on one of his many walks through the countryside. "I mean no disrespect... but the Hoshi I remember does not have a Kage... at least that the great villages recognize..." He said floundering for a more suitable answer... "But if i recall correctly it was a man, or boy rather, by the name of Sumaru who desired to take over the title of Hoshikage." He couldn't have been happier with his previously hated instructor at the academy. Those long hours of finding pointless and otherwise useless information in any one of his numerous detentions had finally paid off, or so he hoped.
Moving slowly Dante did his best to position his tree at his back with the other genin at his front. He could hear the rest of the squad nearing and he wanted options should things not improve anytime soon. As he moved he flicked his wrist to pull the kunai he had thrown earlier back to him. With the two weapons floating lightly near his hands he was able to feel a little more relaxed.... should things go south he would take a few of them with him at least.

Kiba moves instantly and ducks under Dante's arm to behind him, holding the kunai at his neck. A second later, the rest of his team jumped through a nearby bush.
"I've captured a prisoner." Kiba states, "I'm taking him to the Hoshikage for questioning."
Kiba begins to move forward, but the Chuunin stops him "I'll take hi-"
"No, continue on the mission." Kiba says quickly, moving again. This time nobody stopped him.
