From where to whom? [Travel]

[Runeska]

Aclime had traveled a pretty decent distance away from Tsukiko, the silver haired kunoichi. Their meeting was pretty brief, but he had to move on. Perhaps it was rude in retrospect. Considering the time he had wasted already, he could have spared another day... another moment, right? Then again, such a thought may have been rather irresponsible. In either case, once he was far out of site of anyone, he hid his presence again, and took to the trees in a series of leaps and bounds. Immediately, he opened all his senses, relying on warrior's mind, and mind's eye of kaguras sensor skills, weary of letting his guard down now that he was traveling again.

The first bound took him from the ground, to about 10 meters into the air. There, he landed on a tree branch of a very large and healthy tree, as he was following through the forest. The second jump had much more horizontal stride to it, reaching 20 meters forwards. Again, he carefully selected a strong tree to land on before springing up once more. This time,he leap reached it's full length, soaring him 200 meter forward. Twisting and turning through the air, he avoided dangers of hanging branches and jagged limbs by soaring over the canopy for a shot bit. Each series would continue this motion.

Over time, he checked his compass and peered into his map to make sure he was going the right direction. As he traveled further towards Hi no kuni, he breezed through his equipment, find that the most important of equipment, his main weapons, were properly secured, those being the Tenkyo Buryoku, the tokihage, and the peculiar sword which housed its own soul. He was sure to keep his leaps and bounds paced far apart, and high up in the trees. This way, they'd be harder to track, appearing as random foot print on a stray tree. However,he also changed the direction he was traveling periodically, going from westward to southward, and even approaching grass land's border. For him it more like jogging for some time, relying on his herculean strength. For a normal person however, these tracks would take hours of back tracking and careful investigating to track.

The travel in the forest stretched from waterfall into the land of fire. There, he was careful to continue his strides above the canopy deep within the semi tangled limbs of various trees. The travel took something along the line of ten hours to make. Ten hours of vicious constant travel. Needless to say, he was getting slightly tired of it. He could either take a madman's pace back, forsaking any rest and ability to recover stamina, or have a guard to watch him as he slept.

A guard it was. The simplest approach was to summon a shadow clone, then have a big snack,rest an hour or so with the clone keeping a look out, then proceed. After a few hours, he felt ready to move again, and dispersed the shadow clone. The snack he had was a collection of wild fruits and berries,that he collected earlier. These were edible and safe from poisons and toxins. It wouldh ave to sustain him until he was back somewhere slightly safer.

But, he was off once more at a pace that few could keep with for any length of time. He was heading back towards the hidden mist, so there would be seaward travel. Given his haul that he carried, he was already taking a rest traveling as he was. He paused once on a single landing overlooking most of the forest just so that he could check and assure himself that everything was still accounted for. Satisfied, he continued. He'd need a boat. That being the case, he would have to stop at a pier or dock and acquisition a ship. He'd go to wave, as it was a neutral nation. That meant less obvious risk. After night and day had passed once, Wave was all but there, and Aclime was quite fatigued. Not yet exhausted or impaired, but his body was less than energetic. Perhaps he could find an inn to catch a decent meal and rest in before he found a ride home.
