Eda stumbled along the forest with his hands tucked away in his pockets keeping his eyes forward. With his usual attire on he had a buttbag on to his right filled with hira shuriken, and kunai. In his sleeve however was a kunai attacked to a 15m bundle of wire which he could use for many different reasons and was raring to go.His mission was simple, protect some merchants and kill any and all bandits that came through and tried to hurt his people. He mental note to make sure to check all angles and think of all possible attacks being a user of all 3 of the shinobi arts. Genjutsu, Ninjutsu hell even poison or explosives were all very possible situations. It would be difficult however since he had to protect other people and not just himself. He had to be careful of who he caught in his jutsu not to mention since he might accidentally kill the ones he was to protect. Sighing Eda looked up in to the distance hearing the sound of voices figuring he was nearing the merchants. Cracking his knuckles he smirked ready for a good challenge.

As the Konoha ninja neared the outskirts of what appeared to be a foreign caravan, one of the merchants noticed him. "Oy.. look at that little lad, is he who the Hokage sent to protect me?!" the hefty sized man seemed to be in disbelief, having personally requested the finest of shinobi to escort him to Otafuku Gai; the Castor man immediately turned back to his fellow merchant men and started to talk in light whispers before the teen ever truly approached them. There would be a total of three merchant men and two guards, not counting the third---which would be the Leaf genin. He alone would have access to chakra techniques, as the rest were specialized in taijutsu specifically.

"Well, my boy," the head merchant began, "My name's Kephalos." he pointed a meaty thumb to his chest; "and these louts right here..." Kephalos sluggishly waved and arm to the lot at his back, "Are Aelous and Erebos... and the two guards you can call them your henchmen." He snickered as he moved towards a mount that carried most of his merchant inventory. The two other merchants simply nodded towards the genin and went to their steeds as well; the henchmen would follow on foot at Daisuke's command.

"Shall we be off, then?"

---

Miles away from the escort posse, would be a band of thieves. Three men led by a female warrior. She seemed to be hellbent on either killing these Fang merchant men or taking their wares; it would seem that Castor apparel had been popular amongst this den of foxes. She would led her men into the forest outlying Otafuku-Gai....

"Get ready..."

[quino]

Having walked close enough to spot the caravan Eda trudged closer hands kept in his pocket as he eyed all of the people there."Salutations traveling merchants." Eda would say with a nod before hearing the man introduce himself and the others. He couldn't but laugh himself as the head merchant referred to his two henchman before started to get settled. Eda would walk to the side of the caravan turning around to look at the two other guards. "Alright lackies I want one of you stationed at the rear, and the other  up front. If anything does happen stay alive and i'll have ample time to save you easily." He would say turning and waiting for them to get in position before giving the thumbs up to the head merchant.He was having a bit too much fun ordering around his pawns for now.

"We're ready to go." Eda would snicker and would start moving along with the group at the left side of the caravan. Eda would seem calm but internally he was excited. Curious for the taste of battle and the chance to show off his skills as a shinobi. Maybe after this mission he would do border patrol or something of the likes to get some more time alone and not having to worry about people to take care of. Hell as long as he gets to stretch out his shadow's limbs he'll be quite alright.

OOC: I apologize for how long it has taken me, had finals IRL to deal with.

[acids]

As instructed, the two goonies moved to the position that the Genin had ordered them in to. The weakest one took the lead, seeing that a Leaf Village ninja was there to aid in; the stronger too the caboose in case some naughty person decided to sneak up on them--he would be better to fend them off while the Genin rushed to his side.

The party moved at an unwilling pace, and the head merchant kept complaining; that, coupled with the weather, made the venture a tad more tedious than it all had to be... but at least Daisuke was getting paid for something seemingly simple so far. If he had earplugs, now would be a fine time to shove them into his ears.

"It's so cold out; I'm hungry, can we stop for food?" Kephalos kept on, "Are you paying any attention to me? Are you one of those sensing type ninjas? What if you can't stop the bandits who I KNOW are after me???..." worry consumed the man, but they would not stop to do the same to food.


However, unknown to the moving caravan, the four thieves would be quickly approaching. At almost thirty meters away now, they would be upon them soon.

"Since this leads to the main road, we will intercept them here. Hopefully they are alone and this operation is swift and easy. I wouldn't want any blood staining these Castor wares.. kufufufufu~~" the feline-like eyes of the woman flickered in the diminishing light.

[quino]

Eda was simply annoyed at the persistent chatter of the head merchant during the entire time they had been traveling. How could such a man be a annoying punk, it was confusing and made him regret taking the mission."I don't care if your cold and we'll stop for food in a short while.No I am not a sensor. And if I prove unable to protect you, you will most likely die." He would state  bluntly  with a growl turning his head towards the trees. Keeping his head on the swivel to notice anything out of place as they continued down the seemingly endless road."So enough of your strife. Despite my age I am a master of illusions and lightning. So shut up, sit back, and enjoy the ride." Eda finally let out with all of his built up frustration.

It was hard enough to focus with his constant whining so he would hope for him to shut up.Eda pondered how he even survived this long or got in to the business worrying like that. In his defense  the man did get attacked before but still. he  grinned to himself wondering if it would be ok if he let him die and only him but then he probably wouldn't be paid and that was a problem in itself. Sighing Eda started to get more serious and focus on his surroundings. He was still itching for a fight to show the merchant just how capable he was and to not look down on his talent. Not to mention it was always fun to make people suffer with genjutsu the screams never got old.

you can hear all of the woman's hidden conversations

In spite of all of the bickering going on in the moving caravan, which ultimately would give away their position, the Leaf Ninja had been able to hear the voice of the leading woman over the howling cold winds.

"Hey, I see them straight ahead of us!" she hissed through clenched teeth; this would be now 10 meters to her and her men's front, which was to the right of the caravan; however, given the open expanse of Hi no Kuni, Eda was not able to pinpoint the voice's exact location, but to only hear it. "You two, go out and get them... don't make me and your brother have to come out there.....!" The brothers looked at one another and gulped---she was a strict woman, and they would have their swords unsheathed as they jumped out onto the snowy road, teeth grit and faces menacing.

"C'mere, Kephalos... we only wanna skin you alive!!" one said smiling wickedly; his brother would already be trying to circle to the front of the caravan, to ensure that it stopped and went no further. Upon hearing this form of intimidation, the head merchant squealed. He scurried to the back of the shinobi that had been elected to defend his traveling shop of wares, and now it was time to put his money where his mouth was.

[quino]

Eda picked up on the sound of the voices but sadly was not able to pinpoint their location. Non the less he was on his guard and ready for action. When he heard from his right the voice and saw the head merchant scampering towards him he started to form seals jumping on top of the caravan.  With the justu completed anyone who saw Eda would see the dark portal looming in front him as a giant skeletal creature  wearing a robe of darkness sprouted with a bone scythe as it shrieked with the voices of the damned. Eda focusing on his illusion would  continue his show."Insolent fools , HOW DARE YOU ATTACK US!!! " It roared in a raspy and withered voice swinging it's scythe for emphasis. Eda would have reached in his back pocket to draw a kunai while he had made the skeleton talk.

It was about time he would get some action. He had to spend so much time hearing the merchant worry it was time to shut him up once in for all. He could mess with him a bit more but he rather not risk the life of his client. However those other two guards were expendable and hopefully they didn't run off with fear and their pants sullied. He took note of the two out  by the caravan but he heard the voice of someone else earlier meaning they might be in hiding. If it came down to it he might take them with some taijutsu considering his lightning style wouldn't be effective in the current situation. Took to much of a charge time to be of any use. But for now he was interested in how his adversaries would respond to his technique.

Jutsu Used

Manifestation of the Deity
Rank: "C"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A towering, spectral image of a god appears above the user, turning its wrath upon their foes.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: A Fear, Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects anyone who sees the user. The user is able to perform this technique on themselves. The duration of this technique lasts for 2 rounds per class level. This technique may be negated. You summon a looming illusion of the deity the user may worship, overlaid on their form. The divine manifestation appears ghostly and fearsome, with its favored weapon drawn, and makes threatening overtures (roaring, spouting scripture, making dreadful threats, and the like). The image is transparent enough that the user receives no concealment. Any enemy who can see the effect becomes shaken for 1 round. A successful save negates the effect, and that creature can no longer be affected by this Jutsu for the remainder of the round. Does not need to know the opponent's Deity.
Limit: Must know the Pattern Perception.

[acids]

Only one of the men seemed to have been affected by the shinobi's genjutsu... it would seem that he had been taken over by the mere surprise of it being a ninja on the merchant's escort team; he shrieked as the manifestation arose, and dropped his blade. His kin that had moved to circle the caravan, however, remained unaffected it appeared.

As his brother yelled from having his mind tormented, this one grit his teeth and hissed. "You will pay, ninja!" as if on command, a thick coil of wires erupted from his arm and shot out towards the guard stationed at the front. He would be overtaken by the constricting and piercing material; his flesh would rend and he yelled in pain. Effortlessly, the man tossed the wounded guard aside. He slowly walked towards the Leaf nin and Kephalos, a sinister look taking over his visage.

"What the-- what is he?!" the merchant squealed. His remaining guard, though stricken with fear, moved to protect the man. His sword shivered in his loose grasp.



From afar, the woman smiled. "So it seems that he's gotten serious pretty fast. Goro doesn't play about his younger brother, Kuro~~" She thought it would take no time for the man to finish the job off and collect what was hers; she licked her lips in satisfaction.

Limit: Bringer of the Ckathulu, Advanced Tendril Control

if no knowledge of the wire ritual is known in character, then you do not realize that he is immune to genjutsu [for this mission anyway]

[quino]

Eda grinned seeing fear in the one in front of him.  Aiming with the kunai in his hand he would swiftly throw it towards the bandit's throat before the skeleton would disappear in a swirling  cloud of darkness as it faded away with a dark flash. Turning he heard another call out that he would pay. Performing a string a seals Eda channeled his chakra in to his finger applying a steady flow. He was gonna bust a bullet through the other bandit as he watched the guard run up from the rear and run in front of the merchant."Try not to shit your pants henchman!" Eda yelled out to the guard.Standing  Eda's arm left arm was locked with the electricity sparkling at his finger tip he kept it flowing as the intensity slowly increased. Just a few more moments and his jutsu would be complete and he would take care of the man swiftly.

Charging an incredible amount of Raiton chakra into a single shot, the user extends their arm outwards towards the target and must keep it locked in this position until the shot is released. When the shot is released however, it moves at a phenominal speed of eight meters per second, and can carry the shot up to a distance of eighty meters before it disappitates. Capable of punching through any defence below B rank, it can also shoot straight through unguarded human flesh. To compensate for the speed and the length of travel however, the projectile becomes more concentrated and refined, smaller in shape and use. The Raiton shot when released is no larger than a thimble. The charge time is significant as well, taking seven movements to charge a single shot.

The remaining thief laughed loudly over the howling wind. Even if he did somehow manage to be defeated here, there were still two others laying in wait within the forest.. but this man did not think that the ninja child could overwhelm him. The one known as Kuro would find himself stricken by the thrown blade, but having had its trajectory thrown off, it would miss the mark of his neck and land in the center of his chest, which was still considered lethal enough to render him defeated.

As his jutsu was being primed, the thief Goro lunged towards the merchant, having felt that he would deal with the ninja personally after settling things with Kephalos. The squealing man ran away from the cover of this shinobi guard and went to his remaining own personal guard. Whatever the boy had been preparing, he had better act quickly...

[quino]

He counted down because all he needed was two more moments later and his jutsu would be finished.He would waste no time firing the shot as it was aimed to fire at both the guard and the bandit when the bandit neared the guard and or attacked. Being on top of the caravan would given him the angle to safely kill both of them letting the shot go through their chest and in to the ground if he had been able to hit him. Regardless whether the lightning bullet had hit or not his left hand would go numb as he would reach in to his butt bag and grab a kunai with his right.He had hoped to be successful in sacrificing the other guard. It was always good to make use of your pawns. Not to mention with his hand numb from the jutsu it would take  a couple seconds for the feeling to return. Unbelievable situation he had himself in however it would somehow turn out alright. Eda enjoyed a good challenge and this one was simply perfect. However if things did go south the least he could do is slaughter all the bandits. The option of running was still there to save his own hide if need be.

The lightning bullet pierced through the chest of the man sending him smashing in to the ground Eda feeling happy as hell. In response he moved to the forest as fast as possible. He quickly appeared behind the woman's voice he had heard earlier. She turned in shock as he immediately stabbed her through the chest. Returning to the convoy he gathered up the living and were once again on their way to the city. Reaching there destination Eda gave a wave to the men as he headed off back to the village." If need me to keep you alive some other time just ring up Eda."
