Travel to Kaze no Kuni [O/Travel]

[// One]

[Enter]

Ichiro made his way down the path, his direction plain and easy. Leonard followed closely behind, his usual mood of boredom and distraction gone, his tone more serious and his eyes danced through the woods surrounding them. Traveling anywhere was dangerous, Ichiro had more than himself to worry about. Should the genin he was with come to harm, he would be held accountable. His worries were short lived though, he knew Leonard and himself would be able to fend off just about any threat that came near. Only a few would be close to stopping them.

"Keep an eye out, it's likely we'll be hit by something. I'll protect you, but when something happens, stay still and protect yourself. Don't do anything stupid, and don't be a hero."

Harsh? Perhaps, it had a point to it though and without that point, there could be death. Unnecessary death. Aside from Leonard, Ichiro carried the Ikebana seeds strapped in bags upon his back belt. A black coat covering his entire figure. Underneath he wore a dark blue shirt, matching long pants and black boots. On either side of his belt lay card holsters, in them a deck each. To many who observed the man, they wouldn't notice that his black coat was made of paper, overall 2000 sheets of paper made up it's composition. Each deck holding 55 black cards.

As they were walking, he looked towards the smaller genin, noting his lack of immediate protection. A quick wave of his hands pushed half the sheets from his coat to surround the youth, they too would form a coat.

"Protection, you'll likely need it. Don't panic if something comes at you, that coat will protect you from just about anything."

Masaaki looked around him as his lips formed a slight grin as he got covered in paper. Masaaki seriously thought that paper would not do too much to help, but he had heard much about paper masters and just how dangerous they can be so, Masaaki did not try and reject the paper as it covered his body like a coat.

"I am 17, though I might be a genin do not doubt my skills at my level because they are on par with a chuunin despite my age, and don't you forget it. For this mission I will be the fighter, since you are a paper jutsu user, you should be the controller and try and send all of the threats my way I will finish them off. No problem! Got it?"


As Masaaki looked up at this slightly taller ninja with a look of indifference and sheer boredom as he waited for his'Team Leader' response.

Ichiro listened to the words of the youth beside him, smirking at his arrogant confidence. He liked the kid, but he severely underestimated his own ability, and those who would gladly hunt the pair of them. Leonard had taken to the tree's above, jumping through the branches while scouting ahead and around for threats. Anything and he would warn the two shinobi below. Ichiro turned to Mushin while walking.

"I get it, you're brave and willing to fight. That's great. Given the chance, go nuts, I won't baby you. Just don't take these threats too lightly. There are thousands of shinobi out there would we be able to slaughter you given the chance. It would also do you wise to not underestimate myself. Show some damn respect. When you earn it, I'll show you some. Now let's get moving."

He turned back to the road ahead, slowly picking up his pace to cover the ground quicker.

[The Roar of the Falls]

Oh no!!

IT seems that in the travelers haste they both forgot their compasses, heading towards a direction they figured was Wind country but was actually....

Hot Springs. (Moving thread)

(When traveling you cannot skip the countries inbetween, you must rp travel through every country on your way tp Wind. Also. Compass)

[masaaki]

Masaaki felt extremely tired as they walked and walked for several hours as Masaaki final broke the silence between them and said.

Do you know where the hell we are going, 'Team Leader', because it seem like we are heading in the wrong direction and I do not see any sand yet." As Masaaki scoped out the landscape all he could see was numerous hot springs.

[// One]

Ichiro had lost his place, distracted by other thoughts. He'd been heading in the wrong direction for a while, he stopped for a moment when the young genin decided to open his mouth again. A quick glance at the genin, a look of disapproval upon his face, he took bearings on his location, figuring they were heading east instead of south towards Hi no Kuni.

"Don't get smart kid. Else I might decide to leave you out here. Be grateful I'm even doing this for you, or if you want I can turn around now, head back and you can go from here out alone?"

He then took off, without waiting for a response, his travels taking him towards Hi no Kuni.

[Nyu]

Moved to Hi no Kuni.

[masaaki]

"Well, well he thinks he can out run me foolish." as Masaaki frown turned into a slight grin as he quickly followed his team leader blindly though random hot springs and rocky terrain as Masaaki soon began to make out barely the image of a village, which was about 5-10 miles away.


"I think that is a ninja village. Do you think that they are friends of the Sound?" as Masaaki finally caught up to his team leader.

[// One]

“It’s not likely, it’s rare you’ll find a ninja village as easy as that kid.”

Ichiro smiled at his excitement, a little too eager to find something that could potentially destroy your life. It was rare to find an opposing village who would stay true to their allegiance given the chance to actually cause damage and not get caught. Leonard remained around, his searches ahead bringing up no real danger for either of them.

He was attempting to take them the quickest way, his shortcut forcing them through the northern parts of Hi no Kuni and towards Ame no Kuni. Hopefully they would pass through unseen, not wanting any further trouble for such a basic mission, but he wasn’t sure how things would turn out. Relations were always a risk through the countries. He wouldn’t mind the fight if some happened to stumble upon their travels though.

[Hidden villages can’t be found like that, you’ll need to do a proper search and they’re a bitch, not doing one right now for Leaf.]

[masaaki]

[Ok]

"Whatever, 'Team Leader'" as he closely followed behind his leader with a slight smile on his face. Masaaki continued to look towards the clouds with his hands in his pockets as he let out a light chuckle before his chuckle shaped a devilish look on his face as he could not wait to kill something. Ichiro started to talk and talk about the fastest way to get to their destination, with Masaaki just flashed a look of annoyance it the fact that they were so off course and decided to now change directions.

"The lets go!" as Masaaki started to leap from tree to tree closely following his leader movements with no questions asked. I hope he gets it right this time, thought Masaaki with a slight smile on his face.

Night time had taken across the landscape, shadows swallowing everything into a dull monochromatic scene. Ichiro trudged his way home, a hood now adorned atop his head with hands in his pockets. His lemur companion always atop the tree branches above scouting for anything useful, and using the height for security, naturally more adept in the wilderness than in any village or upon cobble footpath.

Occasionally checking through the brush above for location of the moon, the AnBu was using it as reference for his travels, onwards back to the village he had settled in, but doubts had crossed his mind as to his allegiance. Nothing had proven solid enough for him to put his faith in their survival, or capable of judging his. Neither was his to question at this moment however, so onwards he trudged.

[Thank you Kangaboi]

The cool night drove a sullen cloud to the ground creating a thick fog around the shinobi. His view of the moon above only just visible through the tree tops and fog combined. He had faith his companion would warn of their need to change direction. The surrounding environment had subtly changed with his travels however, the light treescape becoming a thick lush forest.

Still his mind traveled to his dilemma, his requirement to stay with his current village was wavering on need. He felt himself unwanted and unrequired, his talents useful on his own agenda or that of another who had real use of him. His last mission proving a waste of his skills with a younger useless genin. The only thing stopping him was his own right to honour the village that he had been with from the start, he had no desire to shed their secrets or wage war upon them, he just found himself in a useless position amongst their ranks, whether that be lack of availability or something else entirely he remained unsure. Hopefully his thoughts would be put to rest at sign of Oto no Kuni.
