Unintended Encounter. [Travel/Pr]

[Draven]

Eric wears red Cloak Type 3 (Overview) which he wraps around his face like a scarf. The cloak runs behind him like two tails that cover his back. There are some signs of tattering within the cloak, but this was cosmetically done by Eric because he thought it would look cool. The Cloak itself holds 6 slots of Tremor Stones, and 9 slots of Grenade: Fragmentation placed within the various pouches in the cloak. Eric's shirt and pants are of the same theme as his cloak, though the shirt is a lot more thicker because it is used more for utility reasons. The shirt or Tactical Vest Type 2 (Overview) is red in color and contains within its pockets a multitude of items, as listed; 1 slot worth of Lighters, 2 slots worth of Blood Clot Pills, 1 pair of Goggles which have a x3 zoom and a underwater vision function, a Lock Picking Kit, 2 rolls of Black Multi-functional Adhesive Tactical Strips (B.M.F.A.T.S, aka Ninja tape), 1 slot worth of Knifes (Overview), 3 slots worth of Makibishi (Overview), 1 slot worth of 8 inch Length Flashlight (Overview), and 3 slots of Aerosol Spray-Can - Type 5 (colors: Black, White, Red, Blue, Green, Brown). Over his Tactical Vest he wears a Chest Rig Type 1 (Overview), which has 12 Scroll (Small) within the pouches. He wears a pair of BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) Trousers (Overview) with 4 slots of Soldier pills. On his belt hangs a Single Speed Loader Pouch (Overview), which has an Electronic Compass inside. On his right ear is a Wireless Radio that is set to his village frequency channel.

Eric wears a pair of wire glasses which he had fashioned from Goggles. This pair of glasses has tinting glass which only protects his eyes from low UV light from the sun or in other words normal sunglasses, this being accomplished with Anti-Flash lenses. There is glass on the sides because of the nature of the glasses being created from goggles. A few buttons on the glasses are for multiple visions for the glasses them selves. These functions are as followed: Zoom vision x3, X-ray vision, and Underwater vision. Running the length of his forearms are Piston Gauntlets. These Gauntlets only cover his arms, leaving his bare palms free to preform his various Scorching fist techniques.

Eric would head right to Land of Grass. It was the first country in his way to meeting up with his teachers. He had some techniques that he really needed. Or rather he just wanted to reconnect with his sensei. Either way he would travel with a quickness.

[to land of Grass please]

Moving.

[Draven]

Eric would continue his journey. He would be on his way to Land of Fire this time. The road was long and he didn't slow a bit. He would be half jogging when he can. He was kind of in a hurry, he wanted to get started as soon as possible. He would take the main roads and have his compass out as he made his way.

[travel to Land of Fire please]

[Aoshi]

More intruders? Today was his lucky day, it seemed.

The Uchiha yet again carried himself across the gaia, sprinting for meters after he'd dropped the body of the unknown patron off near an open spot in the forestry. He just didn't have the time to deal with it, let alone hoisting unnecessary luggage around that wasn't exactly his. As for all else, however, he had safely tucked it away on his person. The unfortunate death of the patron he'd met before was only lingering for so long, and yet he'd discovered what appeared to be another shinobi crossing over from the wayside. "So they honestly think they can walk into our territory and not get questioned. Let's see if I can change that." Aoshi's feet landed accurately along a branch before he checked his weapons. Five kunai, fifteen shuriken, eight exploding tags, four smoke grenades, and fifteen feet of ninja wire all rest on his person.

The other objects were folded into the dead shinobi's shirt, Aoshi having torn it off him to neatly tuck the loot inside it before sealing it off with a bit of the ninja wire. He owed the wandering shinobi at least the chance to speak up for himself, and thus he'd use the shadows to conceal his presence.

"Iwa shinobi! Identify yourself and your purpose here in the Land of Fire!"

Both hands slipped a kunai along the index finger, his pinky fingers resting along the silver circlets along his waist.

[Draven]

Eric had his minds eye activated as soon as he seen the wanderers...Village of Leaf headband. In fact he was already forming a layer of bone underneath his skin. This all was just precautionary stuff. This all because the man started to make demands of him. And with a look of indifference to the request he would respond.

"What I do is the will of Zadkiel, which is none of your God damn business ya tree huggin Leafy...."

Eric would stand straight. His arms to his sides, fists balled up ready for action. He was still amped up from his last mission and figured a little beat down was in order. Perhaps he would show this Leaf up and send his village a message. Or perhaps he could take this one back to his village, and then they really could have fun. The schemes where already rolling in his mind. Either way he would take that headband back to the Tsuikage. That would be a nice feather in his cape. Though, he wondered if he would have to kill this man. It didn't seem like he would be any challenge anyway...

Mind's eye activated.

Bone Armor activated.

[Aoshi]

Iwa Shinobi. So quick to fight, and yet so ignorant to the concept of talking. A simple question had turned into a confrontation, Aoshi's eyes watching closely as the ninja seemed to arm his fists. Without another thought, the kunai were spun multiple times before he grasped them in either hand. Nimble digits continued with their pull of the small silver rings around his fingers, his location shifting as he jumped from the shadows and landed in a crouch afront his newfound opponent. At least fifteen meters separated him from his aggressor, narrowed eyes scanning over his form quickly to note any irregularity he could find. A soft breath escaped him, standing to full height.

"Tree hugging Leafie? C'mon, dude. If you're gonna be intimidating and badass, you could at least say something....I dunno, worthwhile? Gimme a break."

The Uchiha stared long and hard at the headband before him, the seething anger undeniable. He was definitely from Iwagakure. Those assholes had been causing trouble for Konoha, and stepping foot on their soil with his standoffish nature was far from acceptable. "You know you're not supposed to be on these grounds, anyway. And what the HELL is a Zad...Kill? Zod....whatever! You're not allowed around these parts. Either stand down and turn away, or I'll take care of you myself. Your choice." The determination in the face of adversity was clear. For the betterment of Konoha, Uchiha Aoshi would commit himself to the cause. To have propelled himself backward to attempt to reach the village's gates would have been suicide; his opponent would pick him off, and exposing your back to the enemy was never a good foreshadowing. It would have behooved the Konoha Genin to try his hand at victory. If all else failed, then he never had a place to begin with.

Shadows swayed to and fro as the sun beat down on the two of them, the forest's flora and fauna interrupting the silence with nature's call. Aoshi's breathing slowly became focused and more quiet, his left foot starting off to the side and kicking up a small bit of dirt in its footfall. "Answer quickly. I don't have all day."

[Draven]

"I said... ZAD'KEEL you heretic... And I go where I want. And no twerp from Leaf is going to stop me...."

But truthfully Eric was hiding his intentions. He would put the fear of Zadkiel in this one. Eric knew for a while where the man had been. His minds eye was like a blood hound toward anyone with a chakra system. Though he got a really good look of the man once he had dropped from that tree. Instead of just seeing a flash of the headband, he could put a face to the whole visage of this Leaf Ninja.

And this Leaf twerp didn't look like he knew what he was in for. So Eric would release the chakra bind on his hair with but a single handseal...His golden hair would fluff out to a distance of 30 meters. Perhaps this explosion of hair from behind Eric was intimidation enough. But he wanted to send a message to this man. Eric wanted to let him know he wasn't messing around. Eric was ready for a fight...

[Aoshi]

Hair extension. He had to be kidding.

The incredulous look upon Aoshi's countenance was far more than evident - it was arrogant, even. A small laughter escaped from between his lips as he stood straight up, his head tilted to the side for a slight degree . His arms draped at his sides, he struggled to find the appropriate words. "Hair. You're going to defeat me....with hair." The mixture of syllables and chuckling were abundant as the Uchiha began to amble forward, the extensions of hair yielding no thread but to be an intimidating fashion statement - a failed one, at that.

The Uchiha broke out into a dash as he reached at least eight meters away, his vigilant eyes watching the Stone Ninja with malevolent purpose. "I'm a heretic, you say!? Well then, prepare to be a martyr!" he exclaimed back to him. Aoshi allowed himself ample time to prepare the grenades as he pulled the pins. It would take a few seconds for the smoke to disperse from them, his initial toss leaving them at either Eric's right or left feet.

Phase One complete. Phase Two processing.

[Draven]

Eric would launch forward as well. He had no idea weather they were the kind of grenades that could kill so he would rather not risk it. He would run right at this leafy who decided to right head on with a Kaguya. Cause yeah that always works out. He would play chicken with this Leaf Ninja. He would aim his head right at this leafy. He would catch any attack with his hands if this man where to throw any. He was in an all out attempt to head butt the man. It puts a whole new meaning on the term going head to head....

A few senarios. First to address the smoke grenades. If those go off and Eric's plan does not pan out, he would activate his mind's eye. If the Tree Hugging leafy decideds to throw a punch he would find Eric's own arm intercepting the strike. But he would push on so that head would connect with head, aiming for a knockout. His Kaguya bone was far denser than his opponent. If his aim was not reached and the leafy only becomes stunned, then Eric would sport three very quick handseals. A wooden limb would grow from his chest and wrap around his opponent. The Wooden limb would have wrapped completely around this Leaf Ninja lot letting any part of this tree hugger's body exposed. This limbo would put the Ironing in tree hugging and Eric would have captured his quarry. If his plan comes to fruition.

[Aoshi]

His speed was far more than the Uchiha had bargained for.

"I don't have enough time to-!" he exclaimed to himself, every sense screaming at him to remove himself from the equation altogether. But no sooner than he'd dropped the smoke grenades and allowed them to roll forward into close proximity with the stranger with the elongated locks, Aoshi found himself in close quarters combat. He'd been down this road with Kazu so many times before, opting to flank or evade the opponent with little more than a evasive maneuver that would leave them reeling. But with the few steps between them, it was clear that the intended match was not to happen.

No. It was more like the realization that defeat was at hand.

The decrease in distance between them closed the gap far sooner than Aoshi had anticipated. His opponent was still capable of moving with all of those tresses flowing behind him. As his left fist came up to guard the side of his face, the right would no doubt find itself trying to plant directly into the jaw of his adversary. He planted his left foot upon the ground and lunged forward with a hook to the Stone Ninja's jaw - but much to his surprise, the damage would be counteracted by a force he had not met before.

!

His arm ricocheted in pain off of the Kaguya's countenance as he found a sudden pounding all along the front of his face. As if his entire skull had been rattled, the world around him was becoming more and more swathed in shadow as the feeling of excruciating pain threatened to take him. His body felt weightless....too heavy to maintain, even with the force of his will backing his reckless charge. "Urgh!! .....Wh....what...?" he managed, his feet leaving the ground as he soared backward. Through the air did he seem to hover for seconds, his back slamming harshly onto the gaia below before he'd skid backward and into the dirt.

His thoughts were beginning to slow. A feeling of forced melancholy pulsed through him as he struggled to stay awake. But maybe....just maybe...he was dreaming.

Yeah....that was it...

...Just.......dreaming.

[. Out Cold.]

[Draven]

Eric would grin. This was going to be a fine trophy to present to the Tsuchikage. He would indeed sport his three handseals and wrap the wood around this man. He would make sure to use enough wood to where this man would not escape so easily. It would be thick. A foot around this leafy. The wood would be solid and would not leave any gaps. It was a cocoon of wood... the chosen vessel that he had chose to take this leafy back to stone.

Eric would preform a few handseals and would control his hair to wrap around the wooden cocoon. He would lift it up and make a make shift sling aroun his shoulders. this would be a sled of sorts so that he could drag the wooden cocoon back to stone. And what a drag it was going to be. He is strong enough but it still took quite an effort to do so. Though some of his hair would be under the cocoon, so that the ground could easily slide underneath.

Thus Eric would set his destination back to stone. But first he would head toward the Land of Grass. The country in between these two monsters of the ninja world. He would have his compass out to assist his direction. But he was on the move with his trophy.

[Deleted]

Moving.

[Aoshi]

The world around him was dark...

His senses were still completely inaccessible to him, the only thing surfacing within his subconscious being the lands of Konoha and how distant he began to feel from them. He'd been away from the village for so long that even his headband had grown to be nothing but a symbol of stagnant feelings. And to have been beaten so easily - by their enemy, no doubt - death was going to accompany him before long. The forced slumber waxed heavily at the Uchiha's form as he remained in that cocoon of hair and wood. Bound so tightly, handseals weren't even possible with such strengthened bindings squeezing at his wrists. The bark was fortified by chakra, though the Uchiha's sleeping state would have been on the losing end no matter the equation and solution.

And so he would simply remain frozen, time ticking away at his mental capacities as he was transported across the lands. Whoever this stranger was, surely he had the worst intentions for the Genin. But regardless, one thing had remained as he fell into defeat, nestled between shame and loss.

He would make sure that none of Konoha suffered the same fate.

[Draven]

Eric would continue his journey. That headband on this persons head should give him another credit toward his goal. He was excited to get home, yet he had some reflection. This man in this wooden cocoon had, he outright attacked him. That, well that took a lot of spirit... It was rather admirable, and he felt a kinship to this. Though, with a shake of his head and he started to whistle he would make his way to his homeland with the assistance of his compass.

[Tieren]

Moved

[Draven]

Eric would continue to hull this trophy. A would eventually reach the village of Stone.

[exit with Aoshi]

[Aoshi]

Captive. Prisoner. Dead man. All of the names would eventually come to fit. Still unconscious and unmoving, the puppet would be pushed by the strings into even further territory. Death awaits.

- Exit Under the Captivity of Eric -
