The Master Of Chakra [T][T][Quest][P]

Sai watched as the large man he'd eyed from the docks made a grand entrance; a stairway of ice had risen up just as it seemed that the man would surely plummet to his death from stepping absent-mindedly off of the ship, but with a furtive glance at the heavily muscled frame marching confidently onto solid ground, the young Uchiha of Leaf doubted that the fall would have killed him anyway. These men were tough, he could just tell. Including the big guy who walked as if he were there leader, their were five altogether, and though that hadn't brandished that bizarre assortment of weapons they held in any threatening manner, something inside of Sai told him to be cautious. Something was just not right.

This was a simple shipping dock, why were they so heavily armed? What did the big man have to be protected from? And what was with the strange weapon that seemed to float to its owners hand? This man couldn't be the dignified master he was looking for...

Before he could be spotted, Sai would duck around the corner of the billing office off to the right side of the docks, about 50 meters from where the big guy and his comrades would be making their way off their enormous ship. Below his feet, the wooden boarding separating him from the ocean became a focal point, as water collected up around him, handseals moving in a blur, as five clones composed solely of water would spring up, each taking their own actions. He ignored them.

He climbed up the far side of the building, careful not to make any noise as his feet found purchase on bits of crumbling brick and mortar, and made his way onto the roof, his head down to avoid being spotted. He layed down on his back before taking a deep breath and preparing himself. The handseals he performed would rush by in blur that not even he could fully perceive, as one moment, a young boy had been uncomfortably perched near the billing offices chimney and the next...

a sea-gull not much different than any other flying around the docks had appeared. The boy was gone. Sai looked out with beady sea-gull eyes and cocked his head quizzically to one side as he would watch the group of men and see exactly what they were up to, and how they would handle his clones.

Soon after, a few more sea-gulls landed, helping him blend in even better.

Clone 1:

After being formed, would circle around the back of the billing office and approach the large group of men, whistling, with its hands in it's pockets, as if it had just nonchalantly exited the building. When it got within speaking range of the group of men, it would wave at them and speak quickly and excitedly, like a child;

"That's a pretty big boat you got there! How'd you do all that stuff with the weird spear? Are you guys.....up to something?

and await their answer, careful to watch for sudden movements.

Clone 2, Clone 3:

After being formed, would enter into the water near their spot of creation slowly and methodically, careful not to disturb the water too much or make any noise that would offset their attempts at secrecy. They would move a few feet deeper into the water, just so much so that they could not be easily seen beneath the dirty surface area of the docks, and circle around, to swim up just behind the now stationary cruiser. They would begin to climb the aft side of the ship, avoiding portholes and the occasional arm flung out of a square opening to dump waste into the sea, attempting to make their way unseen into the engine room.

They would of course, have to find it.

Clone 4, Clone 5:

Would each take off to opposite sides, ducking behind fish stalls and up and over smaller buildings as stealthily as they could manage, to position themselves on nearby roofs that would offer them a view of the large group of men. They're movements were incredibly slow. They were in no rush. They knew the most important part of their role was in not being seen, and getting into position. They would end on the roofs of buildings approximately 10 meters from the now Sea-Gull Uchiha, and roughly 60 meters from the approaching hooligans.
