COMBINE! Team 3 and 4 Mission [Travel]

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

It felt like she had only been in Kirigakure for a day yet already she was leaving on it. Ready to set sail for adventure, the group would have to be departing. Since they were just a bit outside of the village, she'd sent advised a chuunin at the gate to alert Susi of the group's travel so that she could properly join them on the way for the event. No doubt they might be late, hopefully they wouldn't upset the client! "The only problem with us heading to River is that The Land of Fire is on the way, considering the current tension..." She looked away momentarily.

"We'll have to find a different course of action to arrive there or be quick in our travel through the fire country." She explained, hoping to gauge some ideas for the group so that they could quickly be on their way.

Kotaro arrived as the Mizukage waited to leave. She wondered of a different course to the River Country. Kotaro's intimate knowledge of the south sea was of great aid to this quandary. "Instead of going straight through Leaf we could go around to Tea Country and land on River's south shore." These observations flow easily when it's been eleven years of your life.

Minamoto thought for a moment. Given the current tension the only way to safe guard there travel would be to use him. The cursed one but even then he wouldnt know if he was still around. He thought it best not to mention it as he moved with Hinagiku. "Hinagiku we could travel via boat. It would take longer if the wind was against us but it would be much safer. The river country borders the ocean after all" He said for a moment as he moved closer to Hinagiku the tallest among the group his arms crossed for a moment as he pondered the situation his grey hair flowing within the wind. He wasn't quite sure what to do.

Hinagiku listen to both men, thinking the situation carefully. Going by boat didn't seem like a bad idea, a little pricey but overall not bad. Steam Boat's were fairly fast as well. Though travelling to Tea Country then ending up on River's south shores wasn't a bad idea either. "Well then, if it's possible to travel by Steam boat and arrive quicker let's do that. If not, then we'll head through Tea just as Kotaro-san mentioned." She pulled out some paper, writing down something. "Actually, I believe Kotaro's method will yield the quickest result." She had done some calcualtions considering the circumstances, this was for the best.

"Lead the way Kotaro-san."

Kotaro stepped onto the steamboat as the Mizukage suggested. His knowledge of the south sea was infallible. Kotaro had the boat running as he waited for everyone to get on. The sea breeze lifted Kotaro's hair from his back. As Kotaro zoned out, starting into the south sea. A short episode of his life falshed beofre his eyes and his travel which landed him back in the Water country.

OOC: With permission from Susi and Minamoto, Kotaro and I will be skipping them so we can get Mist to the event~!

Kotaro had already boarded the steamboat, no doubt he figured the boat would be safest after all. Looking to Minamoto who had suggested the use of the steamboat, she tried to smile but it only came off as a smirk as she followed the others onto the boat. This was going to be an interesting experience as it was the first time she mixed two of her teams together. Once all passengers were onboard, the steam boat would set sail. The long journey to riever or shorter journey if the wind was truly on their side would begin. Unwravelling a scroll, it would have the mission information.

The group had there own cabin, so it was safer to review the details of the mission as they travelled. "First things first, it can't be known on this mission or other missions that we do in the future that I'm the Mizukage... it's a significant threat to my life." She mentioned, her voice was rather nervous at that point but she regained her composure. "Next up, we're supposed to be teamed up with rain ninja, they're probably going to be irritated with our lateness. So I've prepared something that might ease their minds a little bit, it's not exactly a lot but... I think it should do. We're neutral with rain, so we should be on our best behaviour while still conscious of any backstabbing they might do. The goal is to protect the church in the river country from a group of rouges, they're from the Kaishin clan... one we should all be familiar with. I hope one of them is a Earth element user, if so we can put up some protection. We should also check our equipment to see if there's anything else we can do." Hinagiku had explained calmly the situation at hand, the steamboat occassionaly honking it's horn as the boat made it's move through the ocean.

The steamboat started to chug away from the pier. "I just came from here and this boat wasn't around... must be kage connections or something. The Mizkage and group went to a cabin inside the boat. But Kotaro could hear through the intercom. She asked that they all not refer to her as her "The Mizukage." The Mizukage explained the situation and another strategy. "Defense is our main priority but if we don't attack they'll wear us down to nothing." Kotaro added from the helm. He steered the boat as they were in the middle of the ocean.

[Nira]

Moved

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

"You're definitely right about that, I'm sure with your genjutsu to distract them we can then follow up with a strong counter." With Kotaro steering at the helm, in no time they seemed to make it to the river country. They had docked from the south side and the group proceeded to move on to the church. Hopefully there briefing would help them to catch up before speaking with their partners the rain ninja. "Kotaro, make sure the boat is properly anchored, it'd be hard to... make arrangements for another one eheh..." She laughed nervously considering how last minute she had to request one from the capital. Now it was time to show the world what mist could do.

Kotaro's predictions were true as Hingiku and crew stepped off of the boat. He pulled a lever that dropped a large anchor into the blue ocean stopping as it hit the bottom. Kotaro hopped off of the boat throwing a rope onto a sturdy rock. Kotaro felt his time to shine was near...
