| - Ikido and Taruto have been helping each other out for quite a long time. Taruto Uchiha, the leader of the PS Organization (Remade) did not just let Ikido join, however. In order to join the organization, one must not simply ask but prove their worth in front of the leader. What better than to have the leader himself battle the recruit. There are some certain qualities that Taruto looks for when testing his new recruits. What are those qualities? Taruto never reveals those qualities until the very end of the battle. So the question remains, how did Ikido join and how close was he to not being accepted? It was a sunny day in the fields. Taruto was able to lay down on the grass and look at the sky, admiring its perfection. He liked the smell of the grass, it was just so...natural. Taruto stood up and took out an apple from the lunch bag he brought with him. As he ate the apple, he admired its sourness. To him, green apples were probably the best fruit in the whole entire universe. When he finished eating the apple, he got a piece of paper from his bag and wrapped it around the apple. He did not want to throw it on the grass and ruin the environment. As he was about to put the apple back in his bag, a kunai suddenly pierced the bag and apple. Taruto ignored this sudden change of events and put the apple, paper, and kunai in his bag. He then looked at the direction from where the kunai came from and saw none other than Ikido. Ikido smiled at the sight of Taruto. "My, I didn't expect to find you here. I thought you'd be in some secret base with bats flying everywhere." Ikido said jokingly. He knew everything about Taruto, his personality, background and even some of his abilities. "So tell me, should I ruin the moment by damaging this environment that you care so deeply about? If I'm not mistaken, you are an enemy. Enemies must be destroyed, if you know what I mean?" Ikido asked in a calm yet wicked tone. Taruto sighed and said, "I would advise you not to just randomly attack me. The field here is unstable, as we are on a field formed by limestone. There is water deep under us, but all the land around here are formed by limestone. If you randomly attack, large sinkholes can start appearing. And you don't look like the type who can fly. Now then, tell me a good reason why you are here. If you say the wrong thing, I have no problem causing a disturbance and having a sinkhole appear. A water attack can be sufficient enough to cause a major sinkhole." Ikido had no chance of survival if he let a sink hole form. What is he going to do if a sinkhole was formed? He began sweating and then said, "I'm here for what I already said. I'm going to destroy you. That is my answer to your question." Ikido had hoped that this was a good enough answer, or to Hell he goes. Taruto sighed and said, "Wrong answer. I did not want to hear that. I wanted to hear that you will join my organization and leave all your friends behind. That is the only answer that I want to be given. If you do not answer this, not only will you die, but also your wife and everyone else you hold dear to your heart. I know a lot about you, and I know about everyone close to you. So, do we have a deal?" If Ikido said no, everyone would die, and if he said yes, then he'd have to leave everyone. He sighed and said, "Alright, but on one condition, you take me somewhere else and we battle. If you beat me, I join the organization officially. If I beat you, then you must come with me to prison. Do we have a deal?" Taruto smiled and agreed to his condition and they both left the area. They decided to battle it out in an area with nothing but rocks everywhere. There was cement as well, so there might have been a village here once.
