Mission: Criminal formal!

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

Marii had manage to hide herself next to a river near the capital. 'OK.....According to this guy, the formal is supposed to take place in the capital in a black building. The password is aoi sora. I have to dress up as a missing-nin, get the names and get out' thought the girl.
This was quite serious stuff: prisoners and missing-nins on the run were not to be underestimated. Which might be why this mission had been a "B"-ranked one. But getting the names was easier said than done. The criminals that would attend were ninjas from "D" to "C"-rank, some of them ex-ANBU's. Others were thieves, raptists, pirates and robbers from a lot of different countries.
'First, I have to change my appearance' thought the Kazeraikou and took up some temporary brown hair colour and brown contact lenses. 'Missing-nins probably want to blend in as much as possible...both my eyes and hair are lighter than average and would attract attention. Also, I have to change clothes as well. I can't go around in a Kumogakure attire if I'm going to pretend that I'm a missing-nin from Kiri' thought the girl and took up her disguise.
It was pretty simple really: it was a dark blue, nice shirt and black, comfortable trousers. Her main weapon would be her chisakatana, but the sheath would be more plain than her usual one.
'It would be more common for a Kiri shinobi to have a sword instead of an umbrella. After all, the 7 swordsmen had their origin in Kiri' mused the brunette and applied the haircolour in her hair. After 10 minutes, she cleaned it and applied her contacts. 'Kami, this is strange...might as well get used to it' thought the female.
A little later, her hair was dry as well.
Her hair was darker than it used to be: it had gone from light, cool brown to an intense ashbrown shade. The Cloud nin took up a tube of hairgel with strong hold, and made her hair a lot more spiky than it originally was. It had grown longer: most of it was between her chin and shoulders. But ninjas with silky-soft hair wasn't a common sight.
She knitted the missing-nin headband around her neck and tried to get into the capital unnoticed. Which went fairly well: there was a fair going on. The Chuunin snuck into a dark alley, knowing that missing-nins didn't wanted to attract attention and would probably blend into the background instead. At least she would have done that if she was a missing-nin, no matter how strong or weak she was. 'Now, I have to find some other missing-ninjas who can show me where this stupid formal is...' thought the girl and looked around to see if there was anyone else there.
Then, it struck her: it was in the late afternoon. The other missing-nins would probably not get out before later. 'I guess I just have to wait then...' thought Marii before she sat down between two large garbage containers and begun reading in a book she had brought with her. The girl made sure that nobody could see her from the main street. If they did, they would call the police, her cover would be blown and her mission would have been a failure. But again, the Kazeraikou was rather small, and hiding between some large things was a good idea. Now, she just had to wait for the sun to set, an the mission could start.

TWO HOURS LATER.

The sun was setting in the horizon. It was a really nice sunset: the sky was now in a mix of orange and yellow. The clouds were pink, and the shadows were longer than ever. Marii looked at her watch. It was 07:30 PM. 'Time to move...I hope I will find some other missing-nins here' thought the girl before she sat up and begun moving around in the allies. The Kazeraikou felt her stomach turn into ice: she hated to walk around in dark places, despite that she was strong enough to defend herself.
Suddenly, she picked up a small noise. 'Ryuu..no wait! If I activate my kekkei genkai, my chances are ruined!' thought the girl, trying to locate the sound. Now, she heard another sound, like clothes that were flipping in the wind. 'It's something above me!' thought the brunette before she gripped her chisakatana and turned around as fast as her reaction training allowed her.

Reaction training.
Rank: Somewhat stronger than “D” (for those who are in the clan. 15 TP’s).
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Trains up your reflexes.
Drawback: None.
Description: The reaction training makes your reflexes faster. Since those in the clan already has somewhat faster reaction than average (without an activated bloodlimit), they will pick it up faster.
The training is basically that weapons are aimed on you in your vision range in order to make you dodge quicker. Those who are in the clan, has to train without their bloodlimit activated in half of their training.
Limit: Can only be learned from Takeshi, Hoshiko, Masao or Marii Kazeraikou.

CLAANG! Two swords collided. and the girl found herself face to face with a guy that looked to be in his early twenties. He had brown, spiky hair in layers that looked to be between 2 and 3 inches long. His skin was rather pale, but his eyes were bright blue. He was dressed in a red hoodie jacket that looked to be one size too large, a white undershirt and somewhat loose, dark blue jeans.
The disguised Cloud nin looked after a hitai-ate. His was around his right arm, and had the same symbol as hers. The male landed, snickering. "He he....it's nothing wrong with your reactions at least. Looks like I managed to finally find someone from my own village. What's your name?" asked the young man, his eyes scanning her. The girls mind raced for a few seconds, trying to come up with a reasonable name. Then, her paranoid side kicked in. "How can I trust you're not going to tell it to an ANBU or the police?" said the Chuunin, a scowl on her face.
"Hey, no need to be hostile here..." chuckled the brunett, his voice sounding calm. The girl gave him a deathglare to show that she was serious. It was no way that this guy was getting her name by flirting with her. "He he, very funny. Those flirting tricks won't work on me your charmer" said Marii, making sure the last word sound as sarcastic as possible. "Huh, for being so small, you sure have an attitude. I guess I should give my name first then....I'm Masaki Kirishima" said the missing-nin and held out his hand. The girl looked on him in a sceptic manner.
"Hey, I don't bite" snickered Masaki. "I'm Keiko Kurosawa" said the Kazeraikou and shook his hand firmly. "OK then...you know that it's going to be a formal tonight?" said the boy. "That's why I'm here. Do you know where it is? I have only been in the capital once or twice" said the girl shortly. "I've been here only a few times, but I barely know were it is. Maybe we should ask someone" said the Kirishima.
"Wait a second...you know that we can be caught, right!?" said the brunette. "Don't worry....I know what to do. I'm just going to find a non-shinobi to ask. You can keep an eye on the street to check if it's any ANBU or other shinobis nearby, 'kay?" said the young man before he tiptoed towards a girl that looked to be on their own age. In a blink of the eye, the brunett had laid a hand over the girls mouth and dragged her into the alley. "Sssh, don't scream. I just have something to ask you. I'm not going to kill or rob you. Do you promise to not scream if I remove my hand?" muttered the male.
The girl nodded, and the missing-nin removed his hand a little so she could talk. The kuinochi wanted to attack the young man as hard as she could, but she had to keep herself calm. It was needed for the mission. "All right miss. Can you please tell me where I can find the Uxinta building?" whispered Masaki. "Walk 300 meters towards the Shinto shrine from this house. Then, turn to the left and you will find the building in the end of the second road to the right" whispered the girl. "Thank you. And if you tell this to the police, I will kill you tonight" muttered the young man. The female nodded, and walked back into the crowded street.
"You really took a big chance there Masaki-san" said the girl, trying to sound strict. "Hey, how do you orient yourself in a new town?" said the Kirishima, shrugging. "Get a map and sneak around..." said the Chuunin, like it was an obvious answer. "Pft, takes to much time. Hey, we better get to the formal Keiko-chan" said the male. The girl nodded, and the two hid their forehead protectors before they begun to walk towards the Shinto shrine.
The two snuck trough the shadows, and tried to not get seen. Suddenly, a garbage can felt behind them. Both of the shinobis turned around, and instinctively threw a kunai towards it. "MEEEAOW!" hissed a black cat, looking at the duo. "Phew, it was just a cat...I thought it was an ANBU" chuckled Marii nervously. The other ninja nodded in agreement before they continued a little further. "OK, there is the shrine. I suppose we should follow the road to the left then" muttered the brunett. The girl gave him a small nod before they continued on the road.
The street was nearly empty, but both of them were alert. 'I'm wondering why I haven't seen any other missing-ninjas around here....no, wait a second' thought the Kazeraikou and squinted. Almost right in front of them were two other shinobis, both of them having hitai-ates with no scratches. The symbol looked like a vase of some sort. 'SUNA!!!' thought the girl, her eyes widening a little. "Uhm, Masaki-san....those two are from Sunagakure. Shouldn't we hide or something!?" whispered the brunette.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

"Nah, don't worry, I've seen those two before. Both of them are from Suna, but they are missing-ninjas. They just haven't stratched their headbands out so they can walk around a little more freely...but they should probably have checked their affiliation with Kumo first" snickered the brunett. "What do you mean? The only Kumo nin I knew is dead" said the girl, her voice blank.
"Kumo and Suna are on somewhat bad terms with eachother...you haven't been a missing-nin for a long time, have you Keiko-chan?" asked the young man, looking at her. 'Only for four hours or so....' thought the Cloud nin. "Nah, I've been it for about 6 months. But I've only been in Ame and Kusa lately" shrugged the girl, hoping that he wouldn't figure out her lie. Luckily, he only shrugged. "Oh well....can't say I blame you then..." said Masaki.
Then, both of them joined the Suna nins. "Nice to see you again Masaki-kun" grinned a man with sandy blonde hair, lightly tanned skin and brown eyes. He was wearing beige BDU's, black shoes and a black shirt. "Yeah. And who's that little girl?" said a woman with dishwater blond hair, lightly tanned skin and emerald green eyes. She was clad in a khaki-green hakama and a martial art looking white jacket. "This is a ninja from the same village as me. Keiko, this is Aoi and Asamidori (aoi=blue, asamidori=lightgreen). They have been missing-nins for so long that they have to use code names" explained the young man.
"Under the party, we will ONLY use code names. I just hope that nobody will tell on us..." muttered Aoi. "Wait a sec....you look like someone I've seen Keiko-chan" said Asamidori, and bent a little forwards. Her face was now only a few inches away from the girls. 'OH NO....She has founded out who I am!!!! I'm DEAD MEAT!!!!' screamed her inner, while her host tried to look calm.
"You're right...she looks a little like that kid that used to be in Kirigakure. What was his name again....? Oh, now I know! His name was Kasai!" said the Kirishima. 'Now, we're DEFINITELY dead!!!' said Mariis inner. "Yeah, I know. We're cousins. His father and my father are siblings" said the girl, trying to sound blank. "Hm" said the young man, not sounding completely convinced. "We're pretty much an average shinobi family...no kekkei genkai, no outstanding shinobis...you get it" said the Kazeraikou. She hoped that this sounded more convincing: after all, there weren't many famous clans or families around in Kirigakure.
"Well, let's get inside! I haven't eaten anything in two days!" growled Aoi. "You're right. Let's get inside. What will be your code name during the party Keiko-chan?" asked the blonde. "Errr....I think it will be Tori" said the brunette. "Bird? Sounds fine with me" said the blond and walked into the building, followed by the other three.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

The quartet entered the building, and walked down a dark corridor. "Are we there soon? Places like this goes on my nerves...I have no night vision what so ever" muttered Marii. 'Heh...they don't know that my nightvision is probably better than theirs' thought the girl. "Don't worry Tori, we'll be there soon" said the blonde, before she opened a door. They entered a really big room. 'All right...so far so good. Now, I have to get as many names as possible. But it would look suspicious if walked around and kept asking for names. I guess I have to keep my ears open' thought the Kazeraikou.
There were quite many people in the room: probably around 35-40 people. "Ah, this sucks...we're the only missing-nins from Kirigakure except from Hasu (hasu=lotus), and I despise her" muttered Masaki, and lolled his head towards a woman that was flirting with a man. She looked beautiful: she was not very tall, but had a really shapely figure. Her hair was long and in a gorgeous shade of carnation pink. The womans skin was ivory, while her eyes were in a shining royal blue. Hasu was dressed in a black dress that reached to the floor, but had a long slit on the side: it reached to her hips. A missing-nin head band was tied around her waist.
"She looks like a very *friendly* person to me" muttered the girl. "She is. She seduces men before she robs them and Kami-knows what. She's a cheapskate, but she is rumored to be a genius with poisons" muttered Asamidori. 'OK, I have to add this person. Hasu from Kiri...seduces men before robbing them. She might as well have done other things to them as well. Sounds like a classic femme fatale' thought the brunette and looked around. "Uhm...who are those people? I think I've seen them once before" said the girl lowly, before pointing on a brunett and a gingerhead that looked quite familiar. They were talking with eachother, both of them looking quite concentrated.
"Oh, that's two of the Taijutsu 5. They used to be a group of 5 taijutsu users that kidnapped people and made people pay large sums of money to get them back. But they got a rather nasty hit in January...the sons of their hostage attacked them. One got killed and another got imprisoned" said Aoi. The girl felt her stomach turn into an icecube. 'HOLD ON....those two were one of Tatsuo-senseis kidnappers! Kami, this isn't possible!!!!' thought the Cloud nin.
"Uhm, Tori...you look kinda pale...everything all right?" asked the blonde. "No...it's just that I mistook them for being some nins that almost caught me in Ame for not a long time ago. But hopefully, I'm wrong" said the girl and laughed nervously. The older female furrowed her brows a bit. The younger female hoped that her 'colleague' haven't found out about her true identity. 'Two more people to add...at least I know their village' thought the kuinochi.
"Let's get something to eat. I'm starving" said the boy. Thankfully, the Suna nins nodded. They walked towards a buffet table. It was a lot of tasty stuff there: wok, chicken, sushi, dango, ramen, rice curry, tofu....they even had sake! "Hoy, Tori! Want some?" asked the older man. "Sure, but not too much" smiled the girl, a plan forming in her head.
'Sake is pretty strong stuff...it only takes a little to make you drunk. I'm just going to take this antidote pill, and the alcohol won't have any effect, since the body consider it as a toxic. And when the others are drunk, I'm going to ask them out about the others. So far, I only have....6-7 names, which isn't good enough. The kage probably want 25, at least. But I have to play drunk to...this won't be easy' thought Marii and walked towards the table, and laid the pill in her rice. It was only a little larger than the other rice grains, but nobody would see a difference at first glance. "Itadikimasu" muttered the girl and begun to eat the rice along with the wok.
"Man...to bad that only 37 could attend this year. Looks like the shinobi hunters and the ANBU's are getting better each year" snarled the woman before she drunk some sake. "Yeah, did you heard what happened to Sora and Hoshi? Both of them nearly got caught in Yukigakure when they were going to visit their mother for almost three months ago. They were THIS close from getting behind bars" said the missing-nin from Kiri before he begun to chew on some tofu.
'Sora and Hoshi....OK...since they were going to visit their mum, they do at least have some connection with Yukigakure no sato. I better write down the names quickly' thought the teen "Excuse me...nature calls" smiled the girl and left the table. She walked into the ladies bathroom. Luckily, only two girls were standing there, chattering. The chocolate-haired girl locked herself into a toilet room and begun to write the names on a list.

Names.
* Misaki Kirishima. Missing-nin from Kiri. Looks to be in early twenties. Spiky brown hair and blue eyes. Has a katana with him. Crimes unknown.
* Two missing nins from Suna that goes under the codenames Aoi and Asamidori.
Both of them look to be in their early twenties. Aoi has sandy blonde hair and brown eyes, Asamidori has dishwater blond hair and emerald eyes. Both of them have been missing for a while.
* A missing nin from Kiri that calls herself Hasu. Has pink hair and royal blue eyes. Is said to seduce men before stealing from them and other stuff.
* Two members from the socalled 'Taijutsu 5' that kidnaps people and releases them for large sums of money. One is from Tsuchi, the other is from Ame.
* Two ninjas that goes under the codenames Hoshi and Sora. They nearly got caught when they visited Yukigakure for three months ago. Their mother lives there, so they probably have connetions there.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

'Only eight names....! Kami, I need a more rapid way to get their names' thought Marii and walked out of the toilet after flushing. She hid the list in her front pocket: after all, there were pickpockets here as well, so she couldn't take a chance.
The Kazeraikou walked towards the sinks and begun to wash her hands. 'I better come up with a plan FAST....I only have 1 1/2 hour to get at least 20 names' thought the female and dried her hands before walking back to her table. She suddenly noticed something: their sake glasses were empty. And to be honest, both Aoi and Misaki looked quite drunk. "Hey Asamidori-san...what's going on here?" asked the hazel-eyed female. "Those two idiots are having a drinking contests...I bet Misaki-kun will lose" said the older woman, her voice slightly slurred.
The brunette giggled. "I think I just saw a friend of mine. I'll be right back, OK?" said the girl. "Sure...and make sure you get to know some nice guys...if you know what I mean" snickered the blonde. "Yeah...sure" smiled the disguised shinobi back before she drunk a little of her sake.
Since she had taken that antidote pill, she didn't had to worry about getting drunk... but if she drunk really large amounts, the pill would stop working. 'Let's see...I have to get names...the smart thing to do is to start with the big crowds. But I'm not very social though...I just hope people are too intoxicated to notice' thought Marii, her eyes searching for a crowd to start with.
The girl found one that consisted of both male and females. It sounded like they were discussing genjutsus. "To be honest, I think the hakike is the best to use in one-to-one fight. I used it last time I robbed someone in Hi no Kuni" said a man with dark green hair and brown eyes. The kuinochi looked closer on his forehead protector. It had the Konoha symbol. "True, true. But what do you do if it's several enemies? When I was going to knock down that shinobi in Oto, I had to escape because of her stupid teammates" said a black-haired woman with purple eyes, who appeared to be a missing nin from Yuki. "Use the narakumi" said the brunette.
"Well well, look here! Finally someone smart! What's your codename kid?" said the woman before she let out a small 'hic' and wrapped an arm around the girls shoulder. The ex-Yuki nin was clearly intoxicated. "Tori. And yours?" asked the teen."I'm Koori (koori=ice)" smiled the female.
"Is that your real codename?" said the girl, raising an eyebrow. Even if the people were drunk, they were still capable of lying. But it might be easier to discover. "Yup" said the purple-eyed adult. "OK then....what's your codename?" asked the Cloud nin, looking at the greenett. "My codename is....Wood! Just kidding...it's Hatake (hatake=field)" said the man. "Cool. I'm Tori" said the girl, smiling a sincere smile. She also got the names of the other people in the group, and walked towards a group that were discussing best methods to survive in the forest. "I'm serious guys. I hate sleeping in the forest. Last time I did that, a racoon stole my food that was supposed to last for 3 days. 3 FRICKIN' DAYS!" said an angry shinobi with ginger hair and emerald eyes. He had the Amegakure hitai-ate tied around his neck.
"Look on the good side....there are plenty of places to hide on" said a female shinobi with light purple hair and dark blue eyes. She had the Tsuchigakure forehead protector tied around her head. "What do you think about sleeping in forests? I heard from Aoi that you have been staying in Ame and Kusa most of your time" said the man, looking at her.
'OK Marii. think fast!' thought the hazel-eyed girl. "It's less comfortable that sleeping in a house, but hey: in the summer, you can get a lot of excotic fresh fruit and such if you're in Ame. And Kusa has a lot of berries and nuts as well, so at least it's healthy to a certain degree. But one night, I woke up soaked because it had been a small monsoon. I took me hours to dry my clothes" said the girl, rolling her eyes in an attempt to look convincing. "You're right! Thanks for the tip....what's your codename again?" said the woman, raising a brow.
"Call me Tori" said the kuinochi, trying to stop her antisocial tendencies to kick in. It was easier said than done. "Please call me Neko. This anti-forest guy is Hebi (neko=cat, hebi=snake)" said the violet-haired woman, lolling her head towards the gingerhead. "Hey, I'm not totally against forests! After all, it's better to exchange stuff in a forest where it's barely any people around" said the man. "Eeerr....I didn't quite catched that" said the girl. "Of course, we forgot to explain. Me and Hebi are business partners. We buy stuff from thieves and sell them. So if you want to sell some goods, you should ask us. We're pros" said Neko. "You're sure? I got the same line from two other people here" said the girl, wanting some more information.
Stealing goods were, after all, a very serious crime. "You mean Kaze and Hisame (kaze=wind, hisame=hail)? Eh, they only sell jewels, things of gold and such. We take basically everything" said the green-eyed man. "Thanks for the tip, I'll remember next time I'm stealing something. Who are you two?" asked the teen, looking on two girls. They seemed to be siblings: both of them had the same auburn hair and deep blue eyes. The girl to the left had her hair in a ponytail that reached her shoulders, while the other had it partly up in a ponytail that stopped an inch or two below her shoulders.
"This is Ichi and I'm Ni (ichi=one, ni=two). We're working for those two" said the girl to the left, who looked to be the youngest. "I'm Tori. I'm not employed at the moment" said Marii. "Too bad. At least we get a steady amount of money instead of going without food for days" said the one at the right, and took a sip of her sake. "Gotta go back to my table. Ja ne" said Marii before she walked back to her table. As expected, Masaki was sleeping while the Suna nins had walked off somewhere.
'It would look WAY to suspicious if I go back at the toilet again...and nobody can sneak at me from behind, since this chair is placed next to a wall. But I better be careful anyways....' thought the brunette and poked the sleeping male. He was snoring. 'I guess I can begin writing then....' thought the girl and begun to add new names on her list.

'19 out of 37...I only need a few more, and I can go back to the village' smiled Marii.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

Marii laid the list in her pocket, and saw Misaki wake up. "Oh Kami, my head hurts....did I won the contest?" asked the young man, his voice sounding a bit hopeful. "Nope. You lost just barely" said the girl and looked towards Aoi, who was taking something that looked like a painkiller. "Oh man...this is NOT fair..." groaned the brunett and laid his head on the table.
'I've got 22 names now....I need 5 more before I can head home' thought Marii.
"Get well. Should I go and get some ice for you?" asked the hazel-eyed girl. The male nodded. The female stood up, and tried to find an icebag to lay on his head. But that was harder than she thought. Then, the brunett found some icecubes in an empty bucket on a table with some chattering people. "Hey, can I borrow this please? My friend has a hangover and he needs some ice or painkillers" said the girl.
"Hey, give him one of these and he'll be back in no time. Hey Ryuu, do you have an icebag?" said a man with golden-blond hair and warm, chocolate eyes. He looked to be a little older than her. His forehead protector had Takigakures symbol on it. "Here ya go" said another man with turqoise hair, hazel eyes and pale, pink skin. He was probably in the end of his twenties. "Thanks....what was your codename again?" asked the teen. "My codename is Mizu. Don't ask why...the medics always get stupid names" muttered the ex Taki-nin.
The girl walked back with the icebag and the pill she had got from Mizu. "Hey Misaki-san...take this" said the disguised Chuunin and gave him the pill and laid the icebag on his head. "Ah, thanks. Hey, who do you got this one from?" asked Misaki. "From a medic called Mizu. Do you know him?" asked the girl. "Yeah. Him, Ryuu and Shika are medics that sell medicines without license. If you need medicine, those are the guys you should speak to" said the young man before he drunk up a small glass with soda pop.
'22 of 37....I think I should try to get a few more before I leave' thought Marii, trying to ignore her anti-social tendencies welling up. "I'm right back OK? I'm trying to find someone who I can discuss ninjutsu with" said the girl before she left the table. She tried to eavesdrop on people around her, so she could snap up something interesting. After 10 minutes, the Cloud nin had only got a new name on a girl named Kisaki, who was going to lead something in Yuki next month. "Hey kid...you look kinda lost" said a female voice. The girl turned, and saw a woman with white hair, playing with a knife.
"Yeah, I looked after someone to discuss ninjutsu with. I have someone to get a revenge on you see..." said the teen, laughing nervously. "Revenge huh? Do you have a lot of money or jewellries?" said the woman, her red eyes on hers. "Some...why?" said the girl. "I'm Sumomo. I'm a hitman...or hitwoman. If you pay me a decent amount of money, I can kill someone. But I'm not a shinobi I'm afraid...my country didn't had a hidden village, so I use old-school, classical methods" said the female. "Thanks. I'll remember that. By the way, my name is Tori" said the brunette and tried to find someone else to talk with. Sumomo was downright creepy.
It looked to be normal to mingle with other people here: most people probably tried to get bodyguards for themselves, get employed or something else. Which was great: in that way, her task wouldn't be too suspicious. Suddenly, a boy came running in, looking shit-scared. "THERE IS SOME ANBUS OUTSIDE HEADING IN THIS DIRECTION! GET OUT FAST!!!" yelled the teen. 'OH NO!' thought the girl. People begun to go underground, camouflage themselves, run out a backdoor or other things.
'I never calculated this, but here goes nothing! HENGE NO JUTSU!' thought Marii and transformed into a cat. She walked out of the building, and was nearly stomped on by other people who tried to escape. The girl managed to get a bit away from the building, but sadly, the ANBU's only catched some of the people that were non-shinobis. She ran into an alley when she was sure the ANBU was gone. Then, the Kazeraikou re-transformed. 'Oh Kami...I didn't thought that the ANBU would find us...I better calm myself down....' thought the girl and wrote down the last names on her list.

'24 of 37...I think the Raikage will be glad' thought the teen. She removed her contact lenses and changed her clothes. Marii took up a bag that contained her shinobi clothing that she had hidden her earlier. The girl took off her missing-nin headband and laid it in her weapon pouch. She removed the simple sheath and replaced it with the more decorative one and removed her make-up. The girl did a few handseals and muttered: "Senro Ue Fuku no jutsu!".

Senro Ue Fuku no Jutsu (Track Covering Technique).
Rank: "C" Rank.
Skill: GenJutsu.
Effect: A technique that most genjutsu warriors learn in order to help out an escape, or help out a situation at hand that may prove dangerous when it comes to finding their location. What the user does with this technique is it allows the user to become more diverse and secure of where they step and run off to. This technique allows the user to allow their tracks to be covered for a lengthy amount of time, depending on how far they have moved out, and how long it has taken. Special: Dragon, horse and snake.
Drawback: This technique somewhat increases along with the user's strength, as well as the Speciality that the user may be.
Description: What happens is that within a path as the user steps down onto the very ground the user pushes a small amount of chakra that is used for all those that come by. What occurs is that with every step the user takes upon the floor they push down a piece of chakra onto the very ground. The amount of chakra is pushed off in all directions as well as is used to mess with the very system within those who approach in which creates an illusion that steps never have occured along the ground. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of pushing this technique in a ten yard radius around them, but the maximum distance from the moment they start the technique can reach far past a hundred yards.
If the user is a GenJutsu specialist, the very technique is increased by five yards in radius, while the technique's length is increased by ten yards, and the amount of time is increased to a total of two hours and thirty minutes. For a Specialist the distance increases by ten meters as the time increases by fifteen minutes.
Limit: None.

She was now sure that nobody would know that she had been here. The 19-year old snuck out of the alley and tried to not raise any suspicion. Since it was not that many people in the street, it was a little hard. The girls eyes darted, and tried to look out for ANBU's or other that might create a hassle. But amazingly enough, she got out of the capital with very few problems. The brunette had almost ran into an ANBU on her way, but turned just in time.
Daiki would have been great to have in a situation like this, but she couldn't bring her pet with her since this was an undercover mission. But hey: the mission was at least accomplished, no? That was good enough for her.
