The glory road ahead of them. [travel]

[Ryu]

Seika neared the tree with his head held high. His mind was still rushing after his thoughts. He took in a deep breath as he leaned against the tree. He needed to just clear his mind, hopefully this short travel will help him. Lucky for the two the weather chose to be on there side. The sun was high with nothing but blue skies, and a nice cool breeze to cancel out the heat the sun produced. "I hope he would hurry... He said to himself as he watched two dear graze in the distance.

[Kvasir]

"Hey! *Arf!* Sorry I took so long." I ran up to Seika, Katio still following behind me. It was a great day for traveling and if we found a boat today we'd make great time. Seika looked ready to go. "Alright! *Arf!* let's get going." I'd begin to run toward the beach, if I remembered right the Raikage had already arranged ships for each of the teams.

[Ryu]

"Alright sounds good!" Seika said as he pushed off the tree, and started following his partner. He really never left the village much so he had no idea where the beach was. So he just kind of jogged following behind his partner. Not much talking was going on between the two, but the talking could wait till the got on the boat. Right now Seika still had full focus on the exams. He heard a lot of people die in these exams, so he was thinking of some ways to survive. Hopefully he would survive, but only time will tell.

[Kvasir]

It felt weird being in front... I'd never done it before... I'd always followed other people out of the village and this was my first time leading other people; Seika was lucky I didn't get us lost... But luckily, after a good length of running through the mountainous paths of the Land of Thunder and down the mountains to a flatter land, the water could be seen in the distance.

Ports could be seen down along the water with boats docked at nearly every dock. I had no idea which boat it was... and I couldn't check due to the fact that I'd left my letter from the Raikage at home... I hoped that Seika still had his. As we got closer to the boat docks I slowed down and asked him. "So Seika... eh... do you have any idea which boat is ours?"

For being a leader, I wasn't doing very well...

[Ryu]

Finally the two reached the beach, and now Seika knew where to locate it. He made sure he had the path to follow carved in his mind. "Erm are boat is. Um that one! Seika saidas he pointed toward a boat closest to boat house. "Ya it's that one" He said as he approached the boat, and saw a three painted on the right hand side. He leaped up onto the deck of the bot, and shouted over to Kiyoshi. "Lets do this! He finally was in his normal state of mind. For some reason stepping on the boat got him hype for the exams, and now his blood was really flowing.

Hendrix had been hurrying to get to the sea country. He had been told that there were two other ninja that left for the land of sea not to long ago. So he wouldn't have to travel alone he spirited in the direction the ANBU said they went in. He got to port and still no sign until he heard a guy say, "So Seika... eh... do you have any idea which boat is ours?"

They were heading to the boat that said three on the side. His teammate left him so he had to catch a ride with someone. "Lets do this!" One of the guys shouted so he had to hurry. He would run to the end of the boat and ask, "Are you two going to sea if so mind if i catch a ride my teammate left me." In a tired voice.

(No minds, only jutsu XP)

"Erm are boat is. Um that one! Ya it's that one" Seika pointed to the boat closet to the boat house, now all we had to do was get on and get going! Seika would run forward onto the boat and I'd run after him. "Lets do this!" My blood was running as reasonably fast as it could through my veins, the anticipation built up inside of me. Someone would speak up from the shore. "Are you two going to sea if so mind if i catch a ride my teammate left me."

"I don't mind, you can come as long as Seika doesn't mind." I'd get onto the boat and look around, an old fisherman would come out of the boat house and start yelling at the two of us.

"I'd been a'waitin for yeh to get here. Yous three 'd better be ready to get cuz I'm suppos'd to be gone already." I'd simply smile and welcome the old man, I really didn't need to deal with him if he was all ready to leave. "Yeah, we're ready to go, let's head off." Once Seika got onto the ship (If Seika didn't mind) the man would untie the boat and the sail from the mast and it'd send the small sailboat into the water toward the Land of Sea.

OCC: Hey guy sorry I have to go a basketball game, but I give you permission to take control of my charecter so we dont have to stall in the travel.

[Runesaka]

"I don't mind, you can come as long as Seika doesn't mind." Kiyoshi would say.

Seika looked at Hendrix and said,"Sure were all cloud nin here." then got on the boat.

"I'd been a'waitin for yeh to get here. Yous three 'd better be ready to get cuz I'm suppos'd to be gone already." An old fisherman said as Hendrix got on the boat.

"Yeah, we're ready to go, let's head off." Kiyoshi said. as they sailed off.

"Well i guess i should introduce myself I'm Hendrix Oda obviously I'm a cloud nin. So not to sound rude i know he's Seika but who are you. " He said pointing to his headband. The band left the land of thunder for sea at a decent speed they should be there in no time.

[ Move to land of Sea]

[Okami]

Moved.

[Kvasir]

"Well I guess I should introduce myself I'm Hendrix Oda obviously I'm a cloud nin. So not to sound rude i know he's Seika but who are you." Hendrix Oda... Hendrix was a rather long name and usually with name like that I abbreviated them... but calling the ninja Hen would be sure to get a fight started.

"Oh yeah, I nearly forgot to introduce myself. My name's Kiyoshi! *Arf!* And as you can most likely tell I'm a Cloud ninja too." *Yam!* Kaito would remind me that I'd forgotten about him, he jumped onto my shoulders in order to make his presence known. "Oh, and this is Kaito."

I'd never been on a ship before, I enjoyed the wind that the movement of the boat caused. Half of me wanted to talk to Seika and Oda, but I was more curious as to the boat more so than talking to the two. "I think I'll go check some stuff and whatnot..." I'd quickly slip away to go look at/play with whatever I found on the boat that was interesting.

I'd spend the next while playing with the instruments, messing with whatever I found, nearly falling into the water while putting my hand into the water, and overall pestering the captain of the ship altogether. I kept Kaito with me, I knew if I let the twerp out of my sights he'd get his paws on someone else's stuff and take it.

[Runesaka]

"Oh yeah, I nearly forgot to introduce myself. My name's Kiyoshi! *Arf!* And as you can most likely tell I'm a Cloud ninja too.....Oh, and this is Kaito." He said. "I think I'll go check some stuff and whatnot..." He said a little later.

Hendrix wasn't one of those who liked to move while he was on a boat or something over water. Not that he was scared of being over water just that he was a heavy sand user and not having his earth to use was a weakness for him. So he just sat on the bus and looked at the land that was moving closer each and every second. He was read for this exam and looked forward to the challenges he had ahead of him. So once the land was reach able he got off the boat. "Seika Kiyoshi I'll see at the exams i have to find my teammate so we can meet." He said leaving the dock.

"Later!" Seika would say to the boy leaving. "We should head over to the registration. Seika told Kiyoshi as he walked off in the direction

[/exit]

[Kvasir]

Once we reached the shore the other two ran off. "We should head over to the registration." Oh yeah! Chuunin here I come! "Alright! Let's go! *Arf!*" The old boatman would come from behind me. "Geht ur damn rat away from meh!" Yipe! I turned around, Kaito had stolen the captain's shoe and had chewed through the material. "Ur gunna hafta find some other 'ay off deh 'sland too, yeah damned kid."

With that I'd step off the boat and the boatsman would sail away... Chuunin exams here I come! "Come on Kaito! *Arf!*" *Yam!*
