Looking for Gale [M|P|Raikou and Aurelien]

[奥田 (Okuda)]

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota [ENTER!] It was when he left the village gates at first that Okuda always felt the most vulnerable. Wearing his usual white and blue Kimono’s with his white Hakama, Okuda would look almost normal. The large white Obi kept his Hakama held up, though the small drawstring that was hidden by the obi did so as well. On his left hip were his Katana and Wakizashi that had been custom made for him. On his feet were his blue toe socks with straw sandals. Okuda wasn’t a normal ninja, in fact you could say he was rather abnormal, whereas most ninja utilized ninjutsu and taijutsu or genjutsu or some other combination Okuda only used Taijutsu and even then he mainly used Burēdono Kenseijin – the sword art taught to him by his adopted mother – Okuda was on a mission given to him directly by the Raikage. He had a small manila envelope that had his orders in it. Opening it for the first and only time, Okuda would read the papers enclosed, apparently there was a small group of Gale Empire troops nearby, that had been reporting on the comings and goings of all ninja from Kumogakure that passed them in an attempt to try and learn anything they could about the village presumably for their next attack. Okuda’s mission was to find them, their location having been noted in the mission details, and then proceed to find out what they know. If they caught onto him he was to make sure no one lived to tell the tale of what they had seen. The mission details also noted that he was to have an ANBU captain observer as well as one other, the details were still unknown regarding that, however they would most likely have similar instructions as he did. Okuda, committing what he needed to know to his memory, walked over to a nearby tree and pulled two dry sticks from the tree as well as a dry rock. Then placing the papers and envelope on the ground, using the rock to weigh it down, Okuda started a fire utilizing the two sticks and burned all evidence of his mission should he fail and be killed or captured. Okuda then waited, near the gates for someone else with an envelope similar to his or who looked to be looking for him. He would keep his left hand on his Katana at all times however. SPOILER: Click to show Continuous tech's active: Jissenetoku (Combat Perception)(30)(80) Rank: "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: By analyzing and keeping an eye on the opponent's shoulder and foot work the user is able to predict movements and grab a feel of when attacks are going to come by making the Burêdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint a more proficient fighter. Special: --- Drawback: The user is only capable of predicting movements¡¯ one rank below then what they have learned. The user is only capable of predicting movements that are TaiJutsu Based. Any other type of movements cannot be predicted. Description: The way this technique works is that the user observes certain points of areas of the opponent's body such as the shoulders, thighs, and hips. Since attacks are focused on these points they are capable of making educational guesses towards points of contact that may occur within these certain points. This type of technique is a study where the user is capable of watching an opponent's movements for a brief moment of time predicting TaiJutsu techniques. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of predicting techniques of "D" Rank capability. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "C" Rank capability. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "B" Rank capability. When the user learns the "S" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "A" Rank capability.

This happens usually when the user becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked. Special: --- Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class. Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the User is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.

[Raikou!]

Two Anbu swiftly made their way towards Okuda's location. A female Owl unit lead the duo. She had long dark red hair that matched the red paint on her porcelain owl mask. She wore dark gray armor that covered her torso, shins, and forearms. On her left shoulder was the Anbu tattoo she received long ago when she first joined the Ops.

Not far behind her was a male Cat Anbu. He had short spiky black hair and matching armor to that of the Owl Anbu. They both carried a single Katana and a butt pack filled with assorted ninja tools.

They both landed ten meters in front of Okuda simultaneously. In an effort to not distress the Chuunin they raised their hands in the air. The Owl Anbu then slowly pulled out a matching manila folder with the same exact contents as Okuda received from the Raikage. Hopefully that would be proof enough to gain the young ninja's trust.

"This is your show Okuda. We are just here as back-up." said the Cat Anbu.

"Lead on."

[Aurelien Skyler]

Making haste as he headed toward the Gates of Kumogakure Aurelien had looked at the envelope that he himself had received. It has been quite awhile since going on a mission where he was need, currently he was one of the known healers that were of great usage within Kumogakure, but he wasn't if it was true or not. After many recents deaths and what not Aurelien could not just sit here and watch anymore die. As he made his way toward the Gates he would think on back of what the Raikage said when he was needed for this mission. It had been sometime since being outside of the Gates, but it was no matter for Aurelien was going to make this mission worth it all.

Donning a long black collared standing robe he with golden trims and long sleeves, a pair of black dark skn pants, and some knee-high lengthened heel boots. Upon his face from the nose to his mouth he has covered it up with a skin tight long sleeved black shirt. Having the neccessary ninja tools in his butt bug and a large fan on his back Aurelien was prepared for the mission he was going out on.

As Aurelien continued to move he had no true desire of fighting anyone as he just wanted to be there for support. Arriving on the scene now he would notice two anbu members and one man who seemed to be the one they're helping out. Revealing the envelop Aurelien did so to make sure he was allies alongside them.

Walking toward the three people Aurelien would begin to speak, "Good afternoon, I'm Aurelien Skyler! It's nice to meet you all." He said chuckling as he spoke to the group. He had to put on a good face so he could show them that he was here to not only work as a team but make long time friends as well. Aurelien hasn't had any friends since he's been here, but he is here to make friends no matter what. It'll be interesting to see what the rest of these guys can do, "I'll be the Medical Shinobi of this team. So if any of you get hurt, I can patch you up within ten seconds. So, please do not get hurt! Also! Do not fret about protecting me as I can protect myself, trust me." Aurelien would smash his fast together showing them that he was no ordinary shinobi. He was skilled in both Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, but Taijutsu was his best fit at the least. So perhaps they would not see him as a weak link? Perhaps...

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota Okuda would watch as the two ANBU suddenly appeared and began to introduce themselves, once they produced the manila envelope, the young red haired swordsman would take the envelope and open it. After a quick inspection to make sure that they were legitimate the redhead tossed the envelope on the still burning fire and watched as it went up in flames rather fast. “No evidence will be left in the form of mission information, first and foremost, in case we are caught or killed we don’t want them to know that the village knows the location of their information gathering place.” It was then that the small group was approached by a man dressed in black, before the man could finish speaking his Katana was unsheathed and pointed in the face of the man “Prove to me right now that you are firstly a ninja of this village and secondly that you are supposed to be with this group.” The crimson haired youth stared at the new arrival, he was taking no chances with this mission at all. ((OOC: Sorry Aurelien, but its how my character would react in this situation, you came up, no proof you SHOULD be with us let alone the village lol, also post order to keep us from fighting amongst ourselves OOCly shall be me, Raikou, Aurelien, and then GM if there is one.))

[Raikou!]

[[I'll be rping normally, as well as Gm'ing as we go on.]]

The mission was already getting exciting. The team's medic forgot to show proof of his allegiance and Okuda was now threatening his life. Of course the two Anbu knew of Aurelien's assignment on this mission. But the\e was no reason that Okuda would know, so it was only natural for him to be suspicious of the newcomer. Tensions were high. Especially since no one wore and identification connecting themselves to Kumo.

"Aurelien is with us Okuda." said the Cat Anbu. "However if you need further proof, I'm sure Aurelien brought the same manila folder we all received back at the tower."

The Anbu hardly seemed bothered at all. Their body language was still and calm. Nothing in their movements suggested anything. The Cat Anbu however was a bit annoyed. And the Owl Anbu was actually concerned for Aurelien's safety.

The group was not so far from the enemies camp. The location was located inside the mission info they all had received from the Raikage. It consisted of a single camouflaged tent with guards patrolling the area. Scouting reports said that eight Gale soldiers periodically surveyed the area. And overall Intel suggested that they would have high level technology at their disposal. Possibly for security purposes, or even booby trapping purposes. Orders were to move carefully and silently inside the camp's perimeter. They were not to be detected and no evidence of them being there could be left behind. Once inside Okuda would gather as much information on the enemy as possible.

[奥田 (Okuda)]

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota Trusting the word of the ANBU agent in this matter, Okuda would slowly place his Katana back within its scabbard. Okuda then looked at the two ANBU, pointing at the one wearing the mask in the shape of a cat “You guard the Medic and stay back, if any gale soldiers come slay them without mercy.” Okuda then pointed at the Owl ANBU and said “You come with me, I do not know much in the art of espionage and will guard you as you detail what you see for the Raikage.” Okuda then stealthy began to walk towards the location of the Gale Soldiers making sure that he made no sound as he walked. Okuda knew this would be a sign that the time to discuss things was long gone, and had his mind set on this plan, and knew that the ANBU would trust him as this is his Mission to lead as a test for him.

[Raikou!]

The Anbu ninja both nodded silently. The Cat Anbu made a few hand seals and slammed them on the ground just in front of the fire. Just as he did two small pieces of earth rose up and shut upon the fire, snuffing it out instantly. If Okuda and the Owl alerted Gale of their presence, the Cat and Aurelien would be safer within the darkness.

Okuda then lead the Owl towards the Gale camp. The Anbu followed close behind with a firm grip upon his katana. They both walked carefully and silently. The time for talk was now over.

The enemy camp was only forty meters ahead of them through the thick brush of the forest. Giant black trees towered over a small camouflaged tent with two guards standing in front of the entrance. They wore metal samurai like armor with green netting over there chests. The each had a katana on their left hip. The Intel report warned of eight enemies, however only these two would be visible upon entering the perimeter of the camp.

[Aurelien Skyler]

Well, that was kind of him. Aurelien would give a small laughter giving the sign he was weirded out by the man's seriousness, but at leas the AnBu were willing to take care of Aurelien since he was the Medical Ninja that had to be in top mint condition. The man known as Okuda was quite serious about this mission and Aurelien had to get serious to. Releasing a small sigh he would make sure his forehead was covered up by his hair, why? The young man had his reasons.

They had begun to maneuver toward the Camp, but coming to a halt they would do so. Turning to face the Cat AnBu this was Aurelien's guard for the time being, but Aurelien wasn't really in need of protection. Holding a pout like face it very well did suck being a Medical Ninja at the moment, but he had to stay serious.

Looking he would also notice two Samurai's guarding the entrance, but there were suppose to be eight correct? Could the other four had been in hiding? What he would give to be a Sensory Master at the moment, he would look at the Cat AnBu and wondered what the plan was at this very moment. Aurelien would begin to grip his fist.

[奥田 (Okuda)]

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota As they began to approach the camp, Okuda would look back and see not only the Cat ANBU but the idiot genin who decided to follow him, for what reasons he did so Okuda did not know. Okuda, inwardly, was angry at the youth for following as the groups only medic his staying back was imperative to the mission. But it was too late, as they were now at the camp. Okuda saw the two soldiers standing in armor with Katana’s on their hips. This was somewhat odd, as the Mission briefing said that there would be eight soldiers in this small encampment, where the other six were Okuda did not know. He gave the group a small signal to stay where they were, something they would notice easily but that those they stalked wouldn’t. Okuda then slowly moved, staying hidden in the brush, to have a better view of the camp, once he got there he would inspect as much of it as he could, making sure to memorize anything that seemed important. However he also had a desire to just kill the enemies of the village, he knew that he had orders to not do so if at all possible. Okuda sighed, barely audible that would simply be unheard through the sounds of the forest unless they knew they were being watched. Okuda kept his eyes and senses aware of his surroundings in case more Gale soldiers appeared. SPOILER: Click to show just restating, though it shouldn't be needed, Jissentoku and Kokoromanako are still active as they are always active with my character and they remain at B rank, check the first post for info.

[Raikou!]

The party moved slowly through the woods towards the camp. Only two guards could be seen at the moment which meant at least six were unaccounted for. The Cat Anbu and Aurelien hung back a few feet while the Owl Anbu and Okuda pushed closer to the enemy's location. Finally Okuda ordered the rest of the team to sit tight while he himself positioned himself even closer to their target.

A third solider walked out of the tent and relieved one of the previous guards on duty. They exchanged some joke about ninjas before switching positions. The one not being relieved however kept a close eye on the fauna surrounding his post.

From behind Aurelien and the Cat Anbu came a deep but quiet growl. Red eyes glowed through the darkness just ten meters behind them. The growl would be difficult to hear and the beast's approach would almost be silent. The Endless Forest had many dangerous animals roaming inside. The Gale soldiers were probably the least of their worries.

Within moments a giant Bengal tiger would be upon Aurelien and his Cat Anbu counterpart. The Anbu would not notice...

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota Okuda continued to watch the clearing, after some time had passed he would see a third soldier come out and relieve one of the first two. ” Must be a changing of the guard…” Thought the red haired swords man ”now would be the perfect time to attack if I wanted to wipe this camp out entirely, guard changes is when an enemy force is most vulnerable…” Okuda continued to watch the guards change shift, oblivious to the threat facing the other two members of his party. Okuda was still wondering where the remaining members of the enemy force was hiding, he was at the same time hoping that the Owl ANBU was either taking note of everything of importance or memorizing it so that they could report back to the Raikage… SPOILER: Click to show Jissentoku and Kokoromanako are still active.

Upon seeing the guards change post the Owl Anbu shifted a bit lower hiding his body more completely. He began to worry about the amount of time they were spending so close to the base exposed. They needed to make a move.

The Owl Anbu inched closer to Okuda and whispered so quietly that when the wind picked up and rustled the forest he became inaudible. "We need to cause an opening of some sort. You or I need to get in there." The Owl Anbu was aware of the fact that this mission was one of Okuda's requisite missions for Anbu status but more importantly this mission was to collect information to use against Gale. Failure was not an option. If need be the Owl Anbu would complete this mission himself.

[奥田 (Okuda)]

By Naota Okuda listened to the opinions of the ANBU agent; he knew that the soldiers ahead of them had outlived their usefulness, at least what they could bring whilst breathing. Okuda knew that it was time for them to go lest they do more damage to the village with what information they had already gathered. Okuda looked to the man from the corner of his eye and said in a quiet whisper that matched the ANBU’s own “Those men have outlived their usefulness, I’ll end their lives, we’ll gather information from their camp and we’ll head back to the village. Stay here.” Okuda then kept himself as hidden as he could, making sure to get as close as he could to the group, he then slowly and quietly pulled his Katana out and grabbed the man near the bush that he was in and dragged him out of site, quickly slitting the man’s throat and leaving him to bleed out in the bushes. The way the neck had been cut was so that the man would only be able to make small gurgling noises. Okuda then repositioned himself so that he could watch for the other members who would undoubtedly be able to hear the sound but not find Okuda leaving them more than open to attacks as well as a little bit on the panicked side of the emotional spectrum, just how Okuda wanted them. Panicking soldiers meant stupid soldiers.

[Raikou!]

Okuda made his move. He followed the guard step by step while staying hidden in the surrounding bush. Swiftly he reached out and cut the soldier's throat. The Own Anbu smiled grimly under his porcelain mask. The fun part was finally beginning.

One of the two soldiers standing guard at the base's entrance heard the muffled groan from Okuda's victim. He looked over at the olther soldier to see if he had heard anything but he just shrugged. The solider who heard the nose raised his pointer finger up to his lips and then pointed forward. Silently he crept forward looking for the source of the sound he had heard.

The Owl Anbu was tempted to take this one but he held back. He instead kept his eyes on the guard still in front of the entrance. It was important that they killed as many of enemy before completely alerting the camp of the presence. Just in case they decided to destroy their data. For now he would leave the second solider to Okuda. The idiot was practically walking to his death anyway. And if the other soilder decided to turn and warn the other's the Owl Anbu would but a kunai in his back.

[奥田 (Okuda)]

By Naota Okuda watched as the man’s comrade closed in on the bush containing the corpse, the plan didn’t work as well as he had hoped it would but it had succeeded to some extent. Okuda grasped the sheath of his Katana with his left hand and hovered his right just above the hilt. Okuda then quietly and from just out of the sights of the enemies rose from the bush he was in. He then took several steps forwards and unsheathed his blade. He was using one of his strongest Jutsu, the Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki, Okuda silently and suddenly lurched forward, using an extra step on his left foot to propel him faster than any living person, maybe even Uchiha’s with their Sharingan, could see. Okuda aimed right for the man’s neck to decapitate him in such a way that the corpse would fall into the bushes at the same time that Okuda would end up sliding into the bushes opposite him, near the ANBU again. Okuda then looked, his bloodied Katana completely hidden by the bushes, but held at the ready in case he had to strike again. He watched the movements of the group, ready to pounce again at a moment’s notice. SPOILER: Click to show Gosei Ryuu: Battōjutsu Ōgi - Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki (天翔龍閃, Ōgi - Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki) Rank: "S" Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: The Amakakeru Ryū No Hirameki must be faster than a regular battōjutsu in order to hit the opponent. Special: --- Drawback: User could cut off their own leg since they are stepping with their off foot. Description: The secret behind the technique lays in an additional step with the left (off) foot. This single step alone adds instantaneous acceleration and weight to the sword changing the god-like speed of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint to "Beyond god-like speed". However, this extra step is difficult to take as one of the fundamental teaching of battōjutsu states that one should step forward with the right foot as to avoid cutting their own foot with the attack. As such, the additional step forward with the left foot can spell certain death for the swordsman, as it takes precise timing to coordinate, as to not lose any momentum while drawing; it requires the utmost concentration that can only be obtained by one's desire to live. There is another secret to this technique. If the initial strike is avoided or blocked, the force of the unusually fast slashing motion displaces the air around it, generating a vacuum in its wake and sucking the opponent in. As this happens, the body is spun around for a second strike, the previous action adding force and momentum to the swing, making the subsequent strike far stronger. This is the true power of the Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki. This technique is so fast that its implementation can be successful even when the enemy's strike has actually reached the user's body. This technique may be learned multiple times. Each time learned it increases in power adding an extra "S" Rank of power.

[Raikou!]

Okuda made quick work of the second solider, decapitating him in one insanely quick and clean motion. This time the second solider still at the entrance of the base heard the sound of his comrade dropping to the ground and began to panic. He began to sweat and looked around a frantically. He was about to turn and alert those inside when the Owl Anbu took action.

The Owl flickered behind the man just as he turned around. With ninja wire already in his hands he wrapped it around the mans neck and pulled it tight. Immediately it began to draw blood. No air could flow from the mans lungs rendering him completely silent. Still it was only a matter of time until someone was supposed to check in. They needed to move fast.

Yanking the terrified solider back, the Owl Anbu motioned with his head to the base's entrance. According to the reports there were still at least five more enemies working within the camp. Whether all five were inside at the moment or some were out on patrol was an unknown. The only known was that they needed to work fast. At the end of the day the could kill everyone of these bastards, but communication between this base and their headquarters could not cease. No doubt that the Raikage would install a team here to pretend to be Gale soldiers and extract as much information, other than what was already here, as possible.

For now it was up to Okuda. The Owl would kill his hostage and wait outside as lookout.

[奥田 (Okuda)]

By Naota Okuda stood from the bushes, swinging his sword once to remove the blood on it, he began to walk towards the camp, he knew what he had to do. All he had to do was make short work of the remaining soldiers before they could destroy the evidence they needed. Okuda would first try to make some noise to draw them out, whether that succeeded or not he didn’t care. Okuda slowly pulled the sheath from his belt, and suddenly sheathed his sword. The speed at which he sheathed his sword would knock all people off balance for a while for a radius of twenty meters. He then dropped down low and charged at the group of five men in the tent. He ran almost as fast as he was before, but he could not allow the soldiers anymore time, his red hair was flying violently behind him. He then unsheathed his blade once he was right next to the first soldier, he was rather low near his midsection. Okuda then watched as his blade flew towards that man’s stomach, his sheathe following it soon thereafter. Whether he killed the man or not Okuda wouldn’t quite worry about as the man would be unable to do much if he lived. He suddenly turned towards the next man in the tent and thrust his Katana forwards, aiming for the man’s neck. If his attack was successful he’d pull the blade from the man’s neck as he spewed blood from the hole. Okuda would then quickly turn around and slash at the man several times in a rapid fashion, using his enhanced speed to do so, by this point Okuda’s blade would be coated in blood from his foe’s, though with each swing some would be sent flying around the area. The ANBU agent outside would only see shadows moving within the tent as well as the occasional blood splatter. If everything happened as Okuda wanted it to, there would be only two enemies left inside the tent and one being held prisoner outside the tent by the ANBU agent.

[Raikou!]

Okuda made his way into the tent and went to work. From the shadows and sounds coming from inside the tent the Owl Anbu decided against killing the solider he had in his grasp. It didn't sound like Okuda was going to take any prisoners.

The first solider was cut in two by the blow to his midsection. He would not survive. The next two didn't stand a better chance. They were both dead before they hit the ground. Blood was everywhere.

Two remaining soldiers scrambled in fear. They lacked the strict training of a Shinobi and were really no better than hired hands. One ran past Okuda and made a B line for the exit of the tent. His balance was knocked off completely causing him to slam into a machine on the way out, knocking over a bunch of papers and mechanical instruments. If Okuda decided to let him go surely the Owl Anbu would take care of him. The second actually had enough presence of mind to grab what looked like a detonator from the table next to him. He too was incredibly off balanced and fell in the process. He smashed through the table and scrambled on the ground backwards to the edge of the tent. In his hand was a small yellow device with a red button on top. He clutched it tightly in his right hand shaking it violently in fear. With his comrade's blood splattered all over him, the man had a hard time not breaking down completely from shock alone or puking from the sonic howl emitted from Okuda's blade. Miraculously he managed to open his mouth and speak.

"Don't! Don't.. come any c-c-closer. I'll blow us all up so help m-m-me."

[奥田 (Okuda)]

By Naota Noticing the item in the scared man’s hands Okuda quickly reacted, slicing his hands from his body before he had a chance to react to his movements. Okuda was one of the fastest people in cloud if not the fastest thanks to his fighting style, and as such he was able to quickly disarm, or rather unhand, the man as he spoke his threat. He then threw his Katana at the man who ran away, most likely impaling him through the back, right through his spinal cord. As he did that, he kicked the detonator away from the man, now without hands. He then unsheathed his Wakizashi and stabbed the man in his neck, slowly turned the blade and then dragged it out of his neck, leaving it barely hanging on. Okuda then shook the blood from the now dead man’s neck and sheathed his blade, walking out of the tent slowly, approaching the corpse of the final soldier. Okuda then grabbed the hilt of his Katana and slowly drew it from the dead man’s back, the blood and spinal fluid dripping from his blade as he did so. “Camp is clear, I think you should be the one to decide what we need and what we don’t need.”

[Raikou!]

The Owl Anbu could not help but look. He and the solider he had in his grasp took a look inside and got a glimpse of the bloodbath. The solider passed out immediately. Even the Owl Anbu had to look away. It was quite the scene.

"I am going to call a clean up crew. Back up should be here shortly and we will begin the extraction process... Your job is done here Okuda. Report back to the Raikage at once. I'll hang back here with our friend and brief the clean up and Intel extraction units. It was a pleasure working with you. Good luck on the rest of your qualification missions."

The Anbu removed the wire from the unconscious Gale solider and instead tied him up against a tree outside the tent. He then went inside and began to collect data. The Raikage would be please.
