Roil [Travel]

[james]

The gates of Kirigakure's Egress came to close as the Mizukage and his accomplices moved to the outer land of Mizu no Kuni. Hyobe's strong legs carried him from the ground towards the treeline of the foggy forests as he moved westward towards the coast; in pursuit of the Lord of Mist had been his wife, the Dragon Captain Itsuko and the genin Senshi. Their journey to the island of Whirlpool had been set, and soon they would meet the Hyuugan Grass Shadow of Kusagakure in the capital of Uzu.

Once the trio arrived to the coast, already ready for a seafaring venture had been a vessel filled with a single captain and several men to man the deck. Hyobe waved towards the Thales natives as he entered the ship and soon, they would be on their way to Uzu no Kuni...

Odayakama Senshi had followed her Kage with most silence as she would attempt to observe the various treeline for anything odd or out of the ordinary. It seems like nothing bad was going to happen. Traveling with the Mizukage and his wife was a privilege she was sure most gennin couldn't say most shinobi had. She had known they were heading for Uzu No Kuni, but for what reason was not known to her. Traveling through the cool mist, they had eventually reached the coast. There had been a ship filled with several workers upon it.

Allowing her Kage and his lady go on first, Odayakama Senshi would board last. She was excited and eager to reach this new land. She frankly didn't know much about Uzu and was happy she would get to go somewhere she had never been before. Leaning on the mast of the ship, the girl would await their departure and arrival of the land.

Misfortune strikes as it seems without a proper map and compass, the vessel has sailed north, to yuki no kuni, instead of west to the proper destination. I hope you two brought your coats.

Hyobe's wife had wandered into the innards of the ship to rest, yet he and Senshi remained on the deck and awaited their destination. It would seem that the ship's captain had accidentally ventured to the north in lieu of the west; for a cold wind nipped the exposed chest of the Mizukage, wherein he had expected a much tropical climate.

"Ship master... why have we sailed to the north? Where are we?" he inquired.

The old drake of the sea turned from the ship's helm and stared at the Kaguya for a moment with one eye: "My lord, forgive me.. I have brought us to our brother's land, that of Yuki no Kuni."

Had Hyobe not been on business, he would have liked to meet with Jorik again. But unfortunately, the man had other matters to tend to. "Please see that you guide this mighty ship to the west, to the Land of Whirlpool, ship master.."


The crew gave the ship a huge push off the glacier-laden waters surrounding Yuki kuni and then departed once more into the sea...

It was freezing. The girl may have been wearing two cloaks, but she had never been to the arctic lands before. They had somehow appeared in Yuki No Kuni apparently. The child had not voiced her complaint as she had looked out to the sea. Her breath would be visible in the chilled air, and she had been in thought. Eventually she had cared to ask the Mizukage a question that had been boggling her mind slightly.

"Mizukage-Sama? May I ask you why you have chosen me to come with you on your venture? I'm not a shinobi who's accomplished much. I'm also just a child. I'm awfully flattered, but I don't know why my lord would call on me rather than his very best Jonin." The young ten year old had wrapped her arms around her body as she looked to the horizon with a solemn loom in her eyes. They seemed glassy almost as she seemed empty. She didn't think the Mizukage chose her because he didn't have anyone better. However, this made her question why she was chosen though. Fresh out of the academy and only a gennin. What was he looking for in her?

[james]

His cerulean eyes gazed upon the glaciers surrounding the island of Snow, and matched even that of the deep depths of the sea wherein the ship sailed. Hyobe's gaze was far off, and despite the chilling atmosphere, his body shivered not; he was of a stalwart composition, and such a thing did not move him. The vessel that the shinobi of Kirigakure rested on rocked against the crashing waters beneath the hull, and from his left, Hyobe noticed the young kunoichi approach him. It would seem, still, that questions and perhaps even fears churned within Senshi---yet as a veteran shinobi, Hyobe could understand her mental displacements. After she would finish her spiel, and wrapped her arms around herself, the Lord of Mist would kneel down to match her glassy gaze, and place a solid and firm hand upon her shoulder.

"Senshi.. the ranking nor age of a shinobi matters not in this world. I myself still hold the title of Genin, despite being the Water Shadow. Having said that, know now that you were chosen for the experience alone, just as you were chosen to travel with our Snow Village allies to the Moon Isle." the Kaguya would then raise in stature, to return to his true height, so that now he could resume his "title" as the village's shadow; Hyobe blinked slowly as he did rise, but returned his gaze back to the child of Odayakama. "If me selecting a Jounin seems satisfactory to you, then I will have Kenji tailor but the simplest missions for you to carry out as a genin, if you so wish. You should never question the decision of your reigning Rokudaime, understand that I move with a purpose, and that even the students at the Sujiouki, too, are a part of that purpose." Now having finished his reasoning, he felt that he should not be questioned further, but would still go to great lengths to answer any inquiry had she any more to push upon him. 

After a while, he would turn his back to her and continue to gaze towards the western land forms, which seemed close on the horizon, but still far giving the misleading discrepancies of the seas. "We are almost to Whirlpool island...." As he mentioned this, the once nipping winds would turn to warm and tropical sensations. The shipmaster had done a fine job indeed in carrying these Hazian forces across the sea.

please move to whirlpool island

The Lord of Mists would take his leave of the now docked vessel, and so would his wife. They awaited the exit of the Genin, so that perhaps they might continue on with their assignment; and had that not been the case, then there was yet another reason why they had chosen to venture so far west of the land of Thales...

As a single-moving-unit, they would dash from the shoreline, with Hyobe at the helm of the trio.

[dandead10]

The young gennin had departed along side the Mizukage's right. She had been his vanguard ad she would make sure to stay swift and vigilant. She had looked at her new surroundings as the did as Senshi remained completely silent. She wouldn't speak unless spoken to as she didn't want to make the Mizukage upset with her. She hadn't known entirely why they were being sent to travel, but perhaps it was something very important to the village. She had stayed close to her leader as she made sure to keep an eye out for anything peculiar.
