Rank: C-rank
IIC Length: 2 Days
Difficulty: Low-Moderate
Objective: Get rid of the bandits
Description: Sunagakure is not exactly a friendly nation, nor do they particularly care about the folks who live in the desert who do not pay taxes to the village, but when marauders and bandits come creeping into the territory of the village, the village gets a little territorial. Barking at the heels of merchants and traders who are trying to bring money and resources to the village means that the dogs that hunt are about to be turned into the prey. Many a man has been sent fleeing off to their death into the desert, and only a few have managed to make it back, but their conditions have been severe due to dehydration and wounds suffered at the hands of the bandits. Lionel Tross is one man who was attacked nearer the city and has warned the guards at the gates as he came screaming into the village.

Attire: Hitomi was wearing her usual orange tank top and green short shorts. Two blue streamers were entwined at the back of the top which allowed for them to sail behind her as she ran as if they were a cape fluttering in the wind.

Dashing through the gates of the village Hitomi was heading toward where she ’smelt’ the bandits, her keen sense of smell was godlike after all (no basis whatsoever). As she darted through the desert she noticed that Shun had come out to say hello as well and was running along beside her. ”Hey Shun!” she beamed as the two dashed through the sand, kicking it up behind them so they looked like a mini sand storm. As their feet flew like machines beneath them Hotomi of course decided to take the lead however Shun wanted to be the one in front which of course resulted in an impromptu race. Not one to not ever ever let something not go her way Hitomi ran faster. Shun of course was not a fan of this, she wanted to be out in front after all and so she herself ran faster. In response of course Hitomi ran faster to be in front of her to which end Shun sped up also. It was a constant back and forth for a while until someone took an open lead.

Being a naturally faster being, Shun was of course the one who pulled out ahead of Hitomi, Cheetahs could reach such fast speeds after all but Hitomi was not one to ever let things just stand as they were. She didn’t let her legs just stay slow, she used all her will power, all of it dammit!, to run faster and faster. Her natural limits were beginning to break but she didn’t care. She was a Kamyuja after all; going past her natural limits was natural. So, it wasn’t exactly going paster her natural limits in a sense. Her feet moved faster and faster as her thighs seared with blood and pulsated along. Boom, boom, boom, Hitomi could even feel her heart beat at this point. She ran and ran and ran. Boom, boom, boom. It was deafening though soothing in a way. Hitomi was only ever happy when she was pushing herself like this. Shun didn’t even think that Hitomi was behind her. She was beginning to tire at this point herself, Cheetah’s overheated rather quickly though with a quick look behind her she was scared straight to keep running!

Hitomi had a deranged look on her face as she tried to get ahead of Shun, a terrifyingly deranged look on her face. Shun began to run even faster with the increased adrenaline in her system because of the fear of Hitomi catching her. She began to pull away from the former Kazekage and in response Hitomi began to take in more and more air, taking deeper breaths. It was an unconscious effort to make her run faster, supplying her already highly oxygenated lungs with more oxygen and powering them up to the max. With a renewed vigour her legs began to speed up even further and she began to make distance on Shun. A quick look behind her and Shun could see her master catching up. She compelled herself to speed up as well, pushing her little cat feet to move more and more. It was all futile however as Hitomi had already gotten the boost to her system she needed and as time went on, she gained more and more distance and within an instance she leapt forward and landed bang smack on Shun. Tackling her to the ground and scrapping each other’s knees to the fullest.

After patching themselves the two companions were back on the road running through the desert without much of an effort now. They were over the whole who was faster thing but they were still moving quickly, this time on par with one another. The pair’s feet dashed and kicked up dust behind them, hell more than a small sand storm, they were a sand storm at this point. Each one was kicking up enough sand that when it was caught in the wind it hung there for more than a few seconds, combined it amounted to a natural weather phenomenon. Their muscles weren’t being strained at this point though as they approached a small caravan in the desert they passed by them so fast the people in the caravan had no idea what just hit them, sand covering them head to toe and ruining some of their wares for trade. Sorry. The two danced along with each other as they ran almost, taking turns who lead and moving about in circles at the lead. If one was able to see then they would see a fluid movement between two individuals that knew each other well.

Their breathing was somewhat laboured due to the efforts they were putting in though that was nothing for them to be concerned about. It was merely the results of their muscles needing some more oxygen in their activities. Both of their legs, Shun’s four and Hitomi’s two, were functioning at the highest of levels. The muscles were flicking through one another with precision, not a single fibre was wasted at this level of speed. Again another caravan was in their path, the route they were taking was a known trade route with a lot of caravans. This caravan was being pulled with horses, thoroughbreds to be more exact. Seeing a small sand storm behind them the drivers of the caravan flicked the reins and forced the horses to run faster to outrun the potentially deadly threat of the sand storm approaching them. Thoroughbreds, the speed stars of the horse world. Their legs picked up the dust as they ran, a vast amount of them pulling the caravan along, while it did slow them down they were still running as fast as your average horse running through the desert.

Not that it mattered as the drivers looked back they were able to see that the storm was getting larger, gaining on them. This was outlandish as sand storms weren’t known to travel that fast. Granted they could move faster than your average horse could but to catch up this quickly! Hitomi and Shun were not your average sand storm however and as their feet carried them closer and closer to the caravan the men became fearful. They ushered on their horses faster and faster though it was futile. Hitomi and Shun blasted past them in an instant, almost as if they were standing still. Again the caravan was hit with a destructive vat of sand, destroying some of their wares. The blast also caused the horses to startle and it was a big problem for a while. None of this even registered on Hitomi and Shun’s radar however as by the time they even reacted they were gone, their legs pushing them faster and faster. Your gold medal Olympian would be jealous of how fast these two were moving.

Coming to a halt the two decided to rest a moment and figure out jsut where they were. They tried to map out a location however they had absolutely no idea where they were however fate would smile on them as they were approached. By the bandits. "Well lookie here boys we got ourselves a little girl" one of the five bandits cooed though while the men began to chuckle Hitomi and Shun took off away from them. Thinking that they were running away the men gave chase though they found quickly just what was up. The bandits upon horseback found they weren't able to catch up to well. While if it were an ordinary person they would have overtaken and surrounded the two by now but they were struggling just to keep up. Now both Shun and Hitomi hadn't even registered these guys and if they were smart they should have gotten away but instead they tried to keep up with Hitomi's fast feet and Shun's graceful leaps. Like idiots.

They quickened their horses pace, whipping about like crazy. The sound of cracking rung out through the flat desert air but it was deafened by the sound of pounding footsteps. The horses as well as Shun's and Hitomi's feet stamping the ground, somewhat even louder as Hitomi's feet crushed into the sand causing a booming thud with each and every step. As if on cue they caught up and ran along side the two. They threw a whip at the two who at the moment weren't thinking of violence, for once. Instead they themselves dodged the whip with great ease and began to run even faster ahead of the group into the desert, no end goal in sight. They broke through the circling bandits without much trouble. Not one to be outdone by a little girl the bandit leader had his men whip up their horses and had them sprint out after them. They caught the two and began to shoot crossbow bolts at the two but the dancing movements they possessed allowed them to dodge every shot they fired.

Throwing in whips as well as crossbow bolts they tried to catch them slipping though as if they had some sort of clairvoyance they were simply avoiding them with swift dancing motions. Honestly it was quite majestic to behold. Hitomi's speed in particular was beyond fathoming. It was almost as if her motions were just a giant blur as she ducked to the left to avoid one crossbow bolt and then speeding forward to avoid the whip being lashed at her. There one second gone the next was the speed of Shun though Hitomi's swiftness topped the cats. In one instance to get a better layout of where she was Hitomi vanished from the view of the bandits, ducking into their blind spots, and jumped upon the back of one of the horses carrying a crossbow bandit. They screched to a halt upon realising their to which end she leapt off and alongside Shun, who had also stopped to stay with her master. It was only now that Hitomi took their forms in an realised they were bandits which in turn reminded her of the entire reason she was here. She had their scent!

All the bandits got off their horses and stamped toward Hitomi, still atop 'her' horse, with daggers drawn. They had had it and Hitomi was now atop their shit list. In an instant one of the bandits shot a crossbow at her though Hitomi simple dodged to the left by leaning slightly to the left. A few more shots were fired but none of them were even able to touch her, in the end they just gave up on the cross bows and started dashing at her with their blades. Leaping down from the horse she was joined by Shun as the stabs started. Using nothing but her left index finger however she deflected each and every stab. With each of the bandits’ trusts the tiny blonde girl deflected the shots without much effort though they kept it up for a good while, trying to stab at her from all directions, until they simply had no energy left and gave up one by one. Panting as they took a few steps back Hitomi decided this would be a perfect time to test out if these men were actually the bandits that she was looking for and rushed them to catch their ‘scent’.

She rushed at the leader by sheer coincidence who in turn tried to slash at her this time though in the end he didn’t even come anywhere close to striking her and Hitomi easily evaded his strike and liked his cheek. Comparing the scents she did indeed come to the conclusion that these were the drioids, er bandits, she was looking for. ”I know who you guys are!” she cried as the bandits finally came to the conclusion that there was a monster before them. Before they could figure out what to do next however Hitomi had decided for them and with her fist belted straight into the gut of the leader bandits, blowing out his stomach. One of his loyal henchmen tried to defend the leader bandit though in an instant he too was stuck down, this time with a foot to the face before he could even register what was happening. The leader would then try to shoot Hitomi with a crossbow bolt while her back was turned but he was to slow and she knocked it from his hands before he could pull the trigger. Shun would take down the injured bandits, biting into his neck as Hitomi killed the leader the same way.

The others took to their horses and began to ride away as these two monsters before them took to eating their friends, yes both Shun and Hitomi took to eating the two bandits. It was quite a while before she remembered there were more bandits to kill, by then Shun had eaten her fill and didn’t feel like running anymore. Not to mention that Hitomi had eaten a little bit as well, Shun’s mouth was bigger. Rather than just let it slide however as she darted off after the bandits she picked the big cat up and started after the bandits. It would take a while as well however Hitomi would eventually catch up, following their tracks in the sand, however it would take about an hour of running carrying the cat as she darted off through the sand as quick as her feet could take her. Pounding footprints into the sand Hitomi would find that her quarry’s were beginning to come into sight and tossed Shun toward them with a mighty thrust that lead the feline to approach the sound barrier. Shun would land square onto one of the remaining bandits and take him down, in the next instance as well Hitomi would diverge onto the bandit and his horse, and the two would tear into his flesh with their teeth…

So there were only three bandits left. Hitomi and Shun had been distracted by eating the bandit again and allowed the three to move off in another direction, this time they all split up however, leaving the others in the hopes that they would die and not them. Jokes on them though, she had their scent. They could run to the ends of the earth and she would still hunt them down and eat them. Justice! Deciding on one way while Shun continued to eat, piggy, she chased after the bandits. It didn’t take long, her feet pounding again and again over the sand carried her to the first bandit in no time at all. The bandtit tried to speed up his horse, whipping it over and over but it was no use. Hitomi’s quick feet lead her to the side of the horse so quickly the bandit had no idea where she went. It wouldn’t take him long to figure out where though as the horses leg was broken and before he could even hit the ground he was snagging midair by Hitomi and killed before any part of him could even touch the ground. Now there were only two left but if she wanted to catch them both she would have to be quick.

She raced back to where Shun was now eating the horse the two had killed, finished with the human, and decided on which bandit to chase next. She decided on the one closest to her for now and took off after them. One jump, another larger jump, and finally a third giant leap and she was off. This was a technique she taught herself in response to flying opponents. It was a really good one and it allowed her to move swiftly through the sky. She would land quickly and simply do the same thing again, jumping high into the sky and sailing for a few moments before returning to the earth with a thud. This allowed for an even speedier travel time though if she wasn’t careful she would overtake the bandit. Which she did. Sailing through the sky she found that she had jumped right over his head. How scared was he to find that he was riding right toward her. In his last moments he was sure that he really thought she was some sort of demon. Only one little ole’ bandit to deal with…

In the end the bandits weren’t really much of a threat or even a challenge. Only food. So now that they were dealt with Hitomi asked Mr. Biggles what she should do next. His response was get money so they decided to head back to the village after a short rest. Another race ensued as they headed back to the Sand Village, Shun starting with a brave dash to the gates to which end Hitomi took her pace up another notch. The blonde quickly gained on the Cheetah who sped up in turn so Hitomi had to push herself and her little legs to drive harder, push further and overall run faster than she had before. Her feet stomping into the sand she soon caught up to Shun. The big cat pushed herself on and the two were neck and neck as they approached the village gates. They both soon had the idea to Shunshin, using up the technique as much as they could but still they were neck and neck. They drove and drove and drove themselves, their legs burning, Hitomi beginning to give as Shun began to overheat. They both smashed through into the gates and collapsed into a heap on the ground, exhausted that they were still somewhat even.
