The shinobi arrived to the scene in traditional garbs of the shinobi. There was nothing too open on him as he donned a pitch black kimono and tactical gloves on his fingers. His own tactical vest was above the kimono that held an assortment of items [Exploding Pouches, Mini gas mask, MPGs, Gas bombs, and soldier pills]. Beneath was a protective layer of mesh and under that he wore a plain white shirt. Above the typical ninja footwear he wore black pants with four pouches at his waist. Each pouch held different items that the shinobi had previously sorted out and organized. Between the four pouches they retained multiple items - kunai, hikari, senbon, exploding tags, mine tags, smoke grenades, binoculars, and contacts. Some items in higher stock than the other ones.

The present of the snake queen was rather disturbing to strangers, but Kaeor sought delight in her presence. She was the embodiment of fear itself in such a slithering yet hulking manner. With his animal companion he resided in the forest, biding his time and thinking of how he would approach. For any normal person this could have caused a great deal of trouble, yet for himself he believed himself able to handle this situation with ease.

Stealth was his forte. And he would surely rob his foes blind in the mask of light.

Stray digits would latch on to the binoculars in his vest before retrieving them out. The device firmly placed against his eyes before they granted him the ability to see in the likeness of a hawk. For now he wanted to get a view of where everything was and what his surroundings looked like.

Beginnings

The moonlight cast a dim, eerie glow over the lands as leaves danced and rustled within the heaving winds. Thick clouds covered the sky, rain plummeting to the grounds, tiny droplets of water intermingled with the soil to leisurely form thin layers of mud. One layer of mud built upon another, the substance growing thicker and thicker. Animals, hunters and prey alike have come to a rest in this rough weather, rather hungering than face the horrid conditions of this night. All was silent except for the rustling of the leaves, the falling of the raindrops, and the winds furious roar.

Harkun, a target of assassination, awaited some miles away, oblivious of the dangers that would soon befall. On the borders of Claw he awaits, a force of fine warriors at his command. Semila, yet another target, a woman of little danger, looks upon a fate far less grievous – abuction.

The path lied ahead, through these forested lands, each and every step approaching to danger, perhaps even death. What fate would meet Kaeor on this day? The story of this shinobi begins now...[/ul][/font]

[✗ Kaeor ✗]

In harmony the soldier stood without knowing his true fate. The binoculars would be lowered by the shinobi and placed back in their original position. He had never delighted in this type of work but slowly was becoming accustomed to it all. If he wanted to have hopes of progression and power, then it would be mandatory above all else. Slowly the mind of the male was adapting to the cold and bitterness that sealed the fate of this world. Without word he mounted the head of Tatsu, the queen flickering her forked tongue greedily.

"You'll have your revenge soon enough. This is only a stepping stone to push you in the right direction." he cooed to the reptile. In reaction she would slither forth and continue her voyage towards the country miles away.

The journey on the back of the fifty ton serpent was satisfying. For once Kaeor didn't have to use his own legs to get around but acquired services that were even faster than his own. Crimson eyes mocked the world in unison as the pair traveled throughout the dense woodlands. In seconds they would be in Claw nearby the home of the noble and his children. Sorrow began to become locked away even more as Kaeor continued to travel. The world that he knew began to become pushed further behind him as the foreign lands began to embrace the arrival of a king.

"]

The biting cold was no more as Tsume no Kuni was reached, the wretched weather replaced by a soothing warmth reverberating through the evergreen forests. A massive volcano stood in the distance at the center of these lands, thick, heavy stem rising into the air to intermingle with the damp air of the hot streams. The calls of wild beasts resumed as hunters of the night stalked for their meals, but countless creatures scurried into the distance at sight of Kaeor's massive serpent.

The targets of the escapade can be found in two different locations. Harkun awaited at the Camp Five Tails Pass close to the border between the Land of Fire and Land of Claw.

Smoke rose into the air three miles towards the west, the gleam of firelight brushed out by the greenery. This was the only source of fire in any viewable distance, and presumably due to the position must be the camp at which Harkun is located. From here, the exact position nor logistics could be determined.

He was not far away from the Semushi estate -but two miles- the massive towering above the trees atop flattened, raised grounds. Bright light shone into the surrounding darkness, illuminating the estate grounds with a bright glare, the approaching spotted easily when not affording a proper place to hide. From this distance, such a locale -one where to hide- was impossible to see, for that a closer approach was necessary. The estate, more than fourty meters wide and twenty meters high, appeared to be three stories high. The first held scores of windows, each leading to different rooms, their exact size difficult to determine from the outside. Considerably fewer rooms could be seen on the second floor with only two windows. The top floor appeared to have the least rooms, with only two rather large windows and no other.

Two choices await. Where will he go first, the Semushi Grand Estate or the Camp Five Tails Pass?

It began to seem as if the odds were truly stacked against him. Nonetheless, fear would never have her opportunity to seize his beating heart. There were plenty of ways to handle this situation as Tatsu began to slither backwards. The stench of blood and flesh too exciting for her. In her old life she was a justified leader but after her scales had been singed she no longer found life in heroics. Revenge burned her belly and became just as deadly as the poisons within the sacs of her mouth.

Digits would dance to create a mirror of himself through the Kage no Bunshin jutsu technique. There wasn't any viewable guards around the perimeter of the estate, so one could guess that others believed this place quite isolated from normal pathways. The clone would birth his own jutsu before changing his physical form to that of one of Harkun's men that Kaeor had seem before. The bunshin would then go forward out of the forest, newly clad in armor and with a sword at his waist and begin to approach the estate. If not stopped he would undeniably enter.

The clone wouldn't waver for long before completely changing his attitude. The expression of the clone looked like someone who was experienced at the field of war. It resembled someone experienced in combat in attempt to signify the difference between a soldier on the field and front lines and the soldiers who were pretty much safe and sound patrolling the house.

"Harkun has sent me here in beliefs that an intruder may be near by. I'm not the only one but several other men will be here on the same orders. He wants to supply his father's estate with more men on patrol. That way everyone receives more rest but if a intruder does show up then we'll have even more numbers. Everything is a simple precaution by the general to stop what could possibly happen. You don't have a problem with it do you?" he stated before sidestepping and moving forward. Hopefully everything he said would have the desired effect. If not he would be stopped once more and turn around. Yet if so then he would enter the house, closing the door behind him.

Droplets of rain begin to fall...

[/i][/b][/center][/color]

The weather had undertaken a sudden shift as a light rain plummeted from the skies. One by one the droplets fell, intensity heightening by the moment, the rain becoming heavier. Waters drenched the grounds and faces of the men standing outside, trails of liquid drenching the face. Winds blew only lightly, grass barely wavering.

The two guards exchanged worried glances; the shorter of the two sharply turned on his heel and opened the door, stepping through hastily. A quick glance within revealed a rather large entrance hall with a set of circling stairs leading upwards. At ten meters wide, movement within was quite simply. Three guards stood within, two by the stairs and one near a door leading to a left corridor. The guard that had entered before ran upwards, huffing as the armor clattered. For the moment, he had disappeared.

A door opened and closed before a muffled voice filled the hall, the sound drowned by the closed doors, barely echoing. This guard, the one that had walked upwards, appeared to be informing another of the newly gained information. Who? That was impossible to know at the moment. The larger guard who remained and grunted as he pulled the door shut and then turned to the bunshin.

”Go then, assume a position in the estate grounds, keep your eyes open.” the guard barked, drawing his blade and pointing it forward.

The sound of rushed steps echoed through the halls within. The deception of the Konohagakure shinobi so far seemed successful...
[/ul][/font]

[✗ Kaeor ✗]

How fortunate for now.

The bunshin would invade the home and watch the shorter man run up the flight of stairs. The expression on his face was more worried than before. Despite the successful intrusion the clone felt himself running on borrowed time. He needed to get in and figure out the girl's location ASAP. He would bark right back at the soldier who attempted to tell him to find a position upon the estate.

"I'm a native to battle on the front lines, not at some house." he responded pointing out the difference between the two. He would then give reason for him not to know the ultimate layout of the establishment. Further proof would be directed to the fact he would know the name of Harkun's sister which he would use in the next statement.

"Semila. Has she been checked on? If I can go see her now then I can send word to Harkun through a falcon at the post nearby. God knows what he would do to us if anything had happened to her." Hopefully the fear of Harkun's rage was enough to convince this soul that he should let the shinobi check.

[/size][/color][/i][/b][/center]

Within, the layout of the house became clearer. There was not only a door leading to the left, but another to the right, but strangely that path was unguarded. Another set of stairs, beyond the one near the entrance, seemed to lead further upwards, with a single guard standing at the bottom. The guard which had ran upwards earlier returned with a man following closely behind. This figure stood at one hundred and seventy-one centimeters with finely combed black hairs tied into a bun. The facial hairs have been shaved nearly into a goatee. A wide, hazel brown robe covered his body, tightened by a lenthy piece of white cloth. An azure blue coat rested over the robe, several tools strapped to it – kunai and grenades. A red-hilted katana was strapped to his left side.

”Wait here.” the man commanded, glaring downwards at the two guards by the stairs. With a quick glance backwards he barked yet another order to the guard which had alerted him. ”You, you go to the left door, where the other warrior is standing. Do not move.” The guard bowed before walking to the door rapidly.

With slow strides the man walked towards the door, gaze narrowed and breathing heavy. He seemed unfazed by this entire ordeal.
____________________________________________________

The guard outside remained silent for a moment at the bunshin's inquisition, and only replied after some seconds.

”Semushi is within. You will -not- have to see her. With him all will be safe, I can assure you. A- ” he was cut short by the door opening. ”There he is. Question him now, not me.”

The brown robed man stepped through, looking in-between the two and drew his blade, the metal ringing as it collided with the sheathe. Semushi pointed the blade at the bunshin and then towards the door, specifically the position which the other guard had left vacant with his scurrying inside.

”Take position. ” Semushi uttered sharply.

The outside guard stood at full attention, rather intimidated by the presence of the lord. This is one of Harkun's soldiers. He has asked to check if she is alright.” he spoke, voice low, the respect for Semushi apparent in the tone.

At that he glared yet once again. ”She will be safe. I am here. Tell him there is no need to worry.”

It seemed as if this attempt at deception was must less successful.
[/ul][/font]

[✗ Kaeor ✗]

...

It was obvious from the pictures that this was Semushi. And beneath the violent tinted contacts would the crimson hues come into place, tragically swirling unbeknown to those who stood. For the clone was essentially Kaeor and donned the same contacts beneath his lens that his creator had. Throughout the whole conversation eye sight had been made and established, forcefully placing the father over a powerful hypnosis.

It was about time these eyes came into use.

"Sir. I ask once more respectfully that you let me see her." he stated once more. But this time under the effects of such hypnosis he would now make the man willing to comply with his orders.

It seemed as if the guard standing to the right of the door was rather suspicious of this sudden change in behavior and bowed for a moment before opening the door with a rough push, walking inside at a rather speedy tempo to whisper into the ear of the rightmost warrior standing by the stairs, words barely audible from the distance. He looked towards the entrance for a moment before continuing with the hasty walk, moving upwards, and speaking to yet another guard.

None knew that the Lord had been hypnotized, but it heightened their level of alert -firs the forbid the bunshin from seeing Semilia, and then, abruptly, he changed his mind. Of this entire trickery, they were unaware. They knew not that the bunshin was an opponent, yet they grew much, much more suspicious of the matter.
[/ul][/font]

[✗ Kaeor ✗]

The trigger of doubt would cloud the room making some soldiers whisper. Through a mental connection he would tell the Lord to become angry at those around him, something that he was sure wasn't astray from his character.

"Yes m'lord!" The bunshin responded sticking to character. The two would ascend the flight of stairs and walk, their minds connected to one another or at least the clone connected with his mind. The two moved through the corridor before stepping near the room of his daughter.

'Give her reason to believe she is safe with you and I. Then tell her that her brother misses her so and you will take her to see Harkun.'

With the mental link established the orders would be given just before they would enter. The clone would speak to one of the nearby guards. "The Lord desires three steeds to be place in front of his estate. Preparations are to be made to take the young princess to see her brother before he goes off to war." If the soldier even though to back talk the Lord would simply confirm what the clone said to be the truth.

By the time the Lord had completed his new order, under effect of the Sharingan Hypnosis, the guard had already informed the first warrior by the stairs, but quickly turned on his heel to return to the door, standing fully erect, slightly shaking and frightened by the sudden outburst. Yet, the guards were still rather wary as he ascended the stairs, due to allowing a man they have never seen before to walk within, and upwards.

As the Uchiha and Semushi trotted upwards, three of the guards followed, despite the lords outburst before. Disrespecting and arousing the ire of Semushi must be a risk taken with this odd chance in behavior by leading the bunshin to Semalia. Four guards were within. One by a door directly to the left of the entrance, to by the first set of stair, and one by the second set The guard by the left door scurried outwards to prepare the horses with a nod.

The last of the guards, the fourth by the final stairs, appeared rather grizzled, with heavy hair growth on face and head. Two blades were strapped to his side, and a thick layer of black scale armor covered the five foot and ten inches figure. His green eyes rested on the Lord as the Uchiha and Semushi approached.

”My lord, I have heard that you will let this man see your daughter. Are you certain of that?” This man appeared quite less frightened by the lord, and appeared rather confident in his approach. This man, the most suspicious of the bunch, perhaps another means of trickery will be necessary for him to let them pass, but what exactly must be done, or even if a simple command will solve the situation, that is something rather difficult to determine at the current moment.

Semushi stood still, for a moment before barking out an answer. "Yes, now give me the key." Without another word the captain of the guard reached into a bag by his side and withdrew the key, handing it to Semushi, who snatched it out of his hand and continued to walk upwards.[/ul][/font]

[✗ Kaeor ✗]

It was utterly pathetic. Every guard in the presence of the bunshin smelled like filth. Oh how he wanted to return to the side of his master rather than go through this infiltration. Once Semushi received the key they would continue to the room of his daughter. The father would place his key inside the keyhole unlocking the door before stepping inside. A beautiful maiden remained inside cutting her hair.

'Hold this pouch of weapons for me sir in your robes.'

And the order was clear as the hypnosis would work wonders. There was a reason why the Uchiha and their bloodline were feared.

"M'lady! Harkun requests your company. He desires to spend time with his sister before he goes to war." the bunshin stated with his back turned the girl before turning around and looking at her. He would only give the mental order for her father to agree and compel/order her to go.

[Katsumaru]

[/url] awaited in the room, dark pink kimono, the lower half decorated with diagonal white stripes. A necklace in the shape of a butterfly, identical in color to the kimono, hung from her chest, extending down to shortly before her bosom. Lengthy ebony hairs extended past her shoulders and rested lightly upon her arms as she trimmed her hairs. A thin nose sat between two black eyes, fitting quite well with her rounded chin.

As the bunshin spoke, offering to take her to see Harkun, Semila's eyes widened and she stood quickly, quite excited, but that anticipation faded quickly at seeing her father, features slowly altering to a frown.

Semushi spoke rather calmly,”Yes, yes, you are allowed to leave.”

She was quite surprised at the permission, but not in the least suspicious. A wide smile crossed her face and she spoke, tone tingling with excitement.

”I have not left for years, thank you father! Thank you. I will pack some things.”

The daughter scurried through her room, grabbing a rather large bag, and walking through, different things packed. Her choices were rather odd, and included several supplies of food, a coat, several books, and even a blanket. Was she pleased at this temporary liberation, or did she have her own plans?

”You.” she said, pointing to the bunshin. ”You will carry my things.”

The first bag was nearly filled, and she walked to her bed, kneeling to grab a second beneath. It seemed as if she was quite worried for what to take. Curious.[/ul][/font]

[✗ Kaeor ✗]

Ugh. What the fuck. This girl was packing almost as if she was about to go on a roundtrip through the shinobi world. The bunshin would give orders to the subject informing him to tell his daughter to cease packing another bag. It would only slow their adventure down of course.

Hesitantly the bunshin raised and strapped the bag to his side listening to the young woman. Now with another command he would tell his daughter that it was time to go and would order those to await their return. It was then that they would head to the horses, anyone that tried to intervene would be sternly handled by Semushi verbally. If they made it to the three steeds he would order his daughter to ride ten meters in front of him. Before then he would give all men that even thought about riding with him and his escort a powerful no. That is, if they made it this far.
