There were a few times that he actually had been wrong and had the clones look towards his area, but fortunately he had not been seen. Even though it was quite stressful, Emi enjoyed the challenge that he could learn a lot from. When they finally reached the spot were the clones turned around and walked back, Emi used the opportunity to move around quite a lot faster. There were however several times that he almost tripped on some unsuspected stone sticking up from the ground, but he managed to reach his tree. When he looked out however, he saw that one of the clones had stopped and were looking towards his location. The smile on the clones face revealed that he hadn't really seen or heard any proof that Emi was there, but he had heard something that gave him the reason to search there.

To the original it felt like it would be cheating if there were just some vague suspicious hints there were someone there, but the clone didn't appear to mind. It began to walk towards Emi's destination with some determined steps while allowing his eyes wander the area. The boy grinned and looked for possible hideouts close to him, but in vain as he was already behind the best one.

His mind tried to find a good way out as he just didn't want the exercise to end that early when he had barely even got half way. The clone was getting closer and closer, and even though it didn't appear to know where it needed to look, it kept on looking just to win. Despite that Emi thought that it was cheating at that point, he still accepted the challenge and wanted to defeat the clone. When it was just a few feet away, Emi came up with the idea of luring it away to another place by making it sound like he was there instead. So he picked up a hand-sized stone next to himself and launched it a hundred away from his spot where it landed on a pile of unstable stones. The effect was instant and the sound was obviously very attractive to the cheating clone which immediately turned in that direction and dashed away.

Emi sighed and picked up another stone to continue the faint by throwing it even further away, just as if he was getting away. When the first clone was far enough to hear him and the remaining clones had their backs turned, he sneaked away to the next tree. That one was far larger than the first one, giving him a very strong cover from the clones. He did however need to keep on moving as the first clone was about to figure out that it was fake sound signals, which would result in him walking back to the first spot, right behind the tree Emi was at.

[~Emi~]

So Emi dashed away from the hiding spot, and before the clones had been able to notice him he was by his marked destination. He had won. The boy smiled as he dismissed the clones, straightened the robe and removed the worst dust from himself. His journey was almost at and end, he just needed to head back home so he could start the real work with the security details. After a quick glance at the compass and map, Emi turned to the right direction and began to run towards his nation.

s he dashed through the lands of the rain, he came to realize that he actually still hadn't explored his actual past. He knew what his relatives had been living in the land of the snow, but they originated in the ocean. So he turned into the direction of the land of fire and took a deep breath before heading towards it. He was going to search for some relatives.

he travels through the fire country had been extremely uneventful, but he made sure to remain observant as he crossed the lands. When he finally reached the sands that crossed to the ocean, he stopped and just gazed out into the wide blue. He hadn't been there that many times, but it called him as it probably called for all of his kind. Emi took a good sniff in the air before he dashed down to the water and dived in. The boy intended to have one of the islands as a base to search from, so he looked at his map and compass to see where he could find them before he headed out.

he island hadn't helped him much in finding his lost clan, but it had proven to have granted him a few new people that possibly could turn into friends. Even though he hoped, he didn't allow himself to be too optimistic about it though, the ninja world was dark and he couldn't trust strangers too much. But as he reached the beach he sighed and hoped that it would get better soon and that hopefully the sword would form a friendship in between them. Then he dove into the water and swam towards the land of fire.

he travel had proved to be quite uneventful, which always made it all so much more dull. His feet were numb from the constant running and his head was starting to hurt from being focused on his surrounding all the time. So when he finally saw the border he increased his pace a little more and breathed out as the rain hit his face. As he just had hurried to get across the border, he was a little uncertain on exactly where he was, so he checked his map and compass before heading straight towards the village.

It didn't take him long until he had found his way and reached the areas which he had traveled so many times before. Then when he reached the area of the gate in which he knew the surveillance gear was set up, he calmed down until he approached it walking.

Tenkai (Heavenly Release)
Rank: "S" + "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A strong chakra barrier capable of defending against Chakra based techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: Only works on Chakra Techniques. Must learn multiple times.
Description: Picture Considered to be the "Ultimate" defense through Chakra Manipulation. User holds their hand out, gripping their wrist with the other hand. User slams the hand on the ground, releasing the built up Chakra in a 5 meter radius spread sphere barrier. When released it becomes self sustaining and will disperse depending on the user's Class Level (1 minute per Class Level starting "D" Class) or if the Barrier is destroyed. When first learned the Barrier is able to withstand 100 Points worth of Damage (see Armour System in Item Index). Performing takes the length of a "B" Rank technique in Handseals. User may learn this technique multiple times. Each time learned ("B" Rank Training) the Barrier gains strength of additional 60 Points. Chakra Techniques may not enter, nor may they not leave the Barrier. Only Chakra Techniques causes damage to the Barrier as Non Chakra Techniques pass through with no effort. This includes People, and basic Weapons. User may perform Techniques outside of the Barrier (Example: Sand Jutsu, Water Jutsu) as long as it may start outside of the Barrier. When releasing the sphere, any chakra within the range of the Sphere is pushed out.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique.

As he had heard the rumors of a temple for an active goddess in the land of tea, he felt like he really had to meet her. His entire life had gone towards such a meeting and all of his struggles to gather divine powers were to show how much of a point it had been. But as he hadn't really used his divine aura in quite some time, he felt like he needed to improve it further, just to make sure it was up to par with a goddess. So he closed his eyes and reached far down for the chakra necessary and eagerly changed its pattern to fit the shield he wanted to create. At first he only wanted to see how strong it still was, so when he released it he had it appear in front of him instead of surrounding him. The aura looked good and strong with only some flickering as he moved closer, which he assumed was just a way for his eyes to adjust to it.

Then Emi put his hand upon it and tried to break through the barrier with just his brute force, which he obviously couldn't do. But as he just couldn't get it to move at all, he wondered if that really was the best way to deal with it. If a strong enough force would be to hit the shield it couldn't absorb that much of it before breaking. But if he added in so it could be bend or at least that it bounced along the movement of what came to hit it with some inertia to make sure it didn't go too far. Emi nodded to himself and tried to analyze what he had done to make it so stationary and noticed that his chakra had been created in blocks. So he dispelled the aura and began to imagine another pattern of chakra that he was gonna have to look like a weave instead.

But as he still wanted some sturdiness to it, he would need to place some chakra bars that would go crisscross behind the weave to be able to stop things from having the barrier collapse. So he first created the bars that he placed around himself to make it easier to see how it was, the structure was stable and he could hit it with full force without having it bulge. Then he added on the sheet of the chakra weave on top of the bars, and even though it was not as sturdy as the bars, he still made sure that they were just as strong. The amount of chakra he had put in was approximately the same as he normally used for his divine aura, but it was a lot more structured. Emi then dug himself out to be able to see how it looked from the outside, which also was strikingly familiar to how it used to look. But also to see if what he had done actually was any stronger, so he launched a couple of hits towards it before doing some jutsus towards it.

The barrier held up surprisingly well, even in comparison to his previous aura, which he previously had been quite proud of. But in what other ways could he improve it further, he wondered as he began to analyze how the barrier had been affected by his attacks. The conclusion he came to was just divide the thick weave into two thinner weaves that went in opposite directions. That would make it harder to pierce with any jutsu that was design to do just that as the holes of the first one would still be covered with the weave of the second one. But that made him wonder, wouldn't it be simply better if he just made a dozen different weaves on top of each other instead? So he tried that out instead of just having two layers, but he quickly noticed that the weave just go too brittle from being so thin.

Anything that was sharp enough would just rip up the layers, making the whole strategy pointless. So he went back to the idea with only two layers, which he had to downsize a little to avoid for the weave to have too large holes in it. But when he was satisfied with how he looked, Emi grabbed the strongest piercing weapon he had and charge with all his might towards one point to see the result. It didn't stop immediately and he even noticed a small rip in the outer chakra weave, but it still maintained its shape and reflected the attack. He cursed a few times as he realized how far away from perfected the technique was, the goddess he hoped to meet would probably have ten times as strong barrier. But he didn't allow that to get him down, all progress had to be making him happy, so he thought of what the next step would be.

It was quite clear that the next difficult part would be to apply the same technique to the aura around him as it was a lot less space he could use to absorb the impacts. But he didn't fear and immediately disbanded the normal barrier and imagined in his head how he wanted the aura to be build. It was important that the inertia was a lot higher on the aura to avoid him getting hit any way, but he also suspected that the bars also would need to be tighter. That way they would be able to catch the weave quicker and strain the weave harder at its surface, which in a way made the inertia tougher as well. When he tried it out, he immediately felt more protected than he had done in the previous aura and as he tried it out he didn't even fear it breaking. But he still had to do some minor changes in it as he had done it a little too tight in the fear to get hit, he actually were able to allow it to bend a little more.

When he was satisfied with the result of the aura, Emi began to walk towards the land of fire. He wasn't perfected, but he hoped that he was strong enough with his divine powers to prove to be a valuable individual to the goddess, making him allowed to get closer to her. When he got close to the borders, he made sure to keep a good eye after any possible ninjas, but he was in luck, nobody was nearby.

Even though he had been in the fire country several times, many which he had been completely uninvited, he had yet to notice any scouting squads. So despite that he trusted his senses quite a lot, Emi just couldn't shake the eerie feeling of being followed. So he made sure to keep a close eye on every shadow as he passed the trees, listen for all the sounds around him and tried to smell if there were any strange smells in the air. There were a few times he heard some strange twigs breaking and leaves being crushed, but every time he looked in the direction it was nothing to be seen. He didn't like not being in control and even though he could easily search for the chakras in the surrounding, he wanted to be able to trust his own eyes. So he kept checking his back and as he got into an older part of the forest, he made sure to look upwards just as much.

The boy then breathed out as he walked out from the forest and into the open terrain made it a lot harder to hide for his possible stalkers. But even after a few kilometers out on the plains, he was unable to detect anyone. The weird sensation of being followed was however gone, but he could swear that there were still some unusual sounds in the area, or was that just animals? He thought as he finally saw the harbor village, finally he could leave the nervewrecking nation behind.

As he felt like he needed to head back to rain Emi walked over to the port to catch one of the boats there. When he finally found a ship that seemed to be ready to take off, Emi asked the captain where he would be heading. When the reply he got was that he'd head down a whirlpool and visit the mermaids, Emi immediately wondered if the man was drunk. But as it didn't seem like he was the boy got curious of what he didn't know, so he asked a few questions about the mermaids and how their city could be located at the bottom of the whirlpool. The man only laughed and explained that their houses where attached to the tentacles of a giant octopus, making them remain place and giving the mermaids a source of food. The explanation was odd and even thought it had some possible points, it still appeared too weird and lacking some information for the boy. So even though the man had a genuinely good guy face Emi began to doubt his word, which made him counter with some additional questions.

The point with the remaining questions was to have the man hesitate or just say something that was obviously a lie. But as the man just remained comfortable and kept on answer all the questions in an impressive confident and quick fashion, Emi couldn't figure out what to believe. But when the man assumed he was one of the mermaids and asked if he also needed the air pipes that he claimed they had, Emi knew he lied. If he couldn't see the different between himself and a mermaid, only the fantasy told him how they looked like. But EMi kept to play along as he wanted to learn how the man was hiding the truth so well, he really would need to find out how to tell lies from truths. The most obvious way was to search for information that was not accurate to what the user already knew, but as that could be difficult and not actually correct as the other one could've believed it, he had to look for other ways.

The captains appearance was as noted before very calm and Emi couldn't see any changes in his demeanor as he spoke, but as he never said anything else but falsihoods, Emi wanted to see how he looked when he said something true. The reply when the boy asked about the captains name was however with the exact same face, which then had him ask about the name of the boat. The reason for that was that the captain saw that Emi was directly watching the name of the boat, which forced him to actually tell the truth. That made Emi notice a few changes in his face which directly changed when he returned to tell lies about the mermaids. The boy then asked the captain if he could be taken to them with a very sarcastic tone and the captain appeared to start wondering how much the hoshigaki knew. Then he replied that he would need to head for the mainlands first, which Emi saw in his eyes was actually true. So Emi said that he could follow and take the trip to the mermaids next time.

Emi then went onto the boat and walked up to the front of it and grabbed some handles as he breathed in the fresh salty air. He was gonna miss the ocean once back on dry land, but he couldn't waste too much time out there, he was needed elsewhere.
