Spring buds! [Private, NDE]

'Right. I think Yu no Kuni should be my best bet' decided the female. She put down her field pack so her animal companions could move.
Daiki immediately flied towards the skies while Shiori looked up at her owner. Marii looked into her field pack to see that everyhing was there.

Her field pack contained 6 kunais, a soldier pill, a gas mask with filter B, 2 dokas, a six inch flashlights, a world map, 2 bloodclot pills, 3 voice-recording marbles, a wireless radio, a motion sensor with handheld surveillance monitor, a gas mask filter “C”, a lensatic compass, a rebar splint, a torsion wrench, a half-diamond pick, five knives for herbs, a hook pick, 1 ball pick, a rake pick, a glass cutter and 5 exploding pouches.
Inside her hip pouch was 6 kunais, 15 hira shurikens, 2 smoke grenades, 2 hikari bombs, a multi-tool, 2 thermal capsules, 2 bloodclot pills, 11 exploding tags, 40 senbons, a pair of goggles with camera and a summoning scroll. The double kunai holster had 2 kunais while her wire reel had 45 meters with wire.

The young woman picked up the map as well a the compass. 'I'm pretty sure port Hoshi should be that way. We are here after all' concluded the Raikage after checking the postion.
She laid the map back into the field pack and started to jump from tree to tree. The sun was on the rise since it was nearly 10 AM now.

She could see a duo of Chuunins not too far away that were dressed in their uniform. It made the female smile a little since her village was doing great lately. The fake greenette then stopped a moment to check the terrain.
'Hey...I can see the quays over there! That must be the port!' thought the young woman with a huge smile.

The animal companion next to her was jumping with her like a chocolate brown flash. Both of them noticed that the vegetation was getting a little thicker while the trees were taller compared to the Kumogakure forest. This was a great sign since the southern forests were more dense.
A smell that resembled pine trees caught their noses as a small breeze blew through the forest. So far, everything seemed to be fine.

It did not take long until she had reached the port with her feline animal companion. "One to Yu no Kuni please" inquired Marii as she approached the small ferry with bright orange stripes on the side.
The ticket seller nodded before letting her on. It should not take long for them to reach Yu no Kuni.

Refrain from using a scrolling spoiler ever again. That thing was driving me completely insane.

Moved to Yu no Kuni

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: Sorry! I really have no idea how that happened))

It did not take long for the ferry to reach its destination. The female disembarked the ship with the other passengers when the vehicle had stopped completely. Her animal companions were happy to be allowed to move again as well.
'Let's see...I think we need to move a bit further west to reach the capital. I just hope we can get there fast' thought Marii.

She glanced around to see if there were anyone she could hitch hike with. The young woman then spotted a farmer who was about to step onto a large cart pulled by horses. The Raikage picked up her animals before she shunshined [1/13] towards the cart.
She climbed into the carriage as quiet as possible. Daiki was allowed to follow them from above while Shiori had to stay with her.

'Looks like we're going the right way for now at least' thought the female as she spotted a sign to the capital. It took about two hours until the carriage stopped. They were not too far away from the capital, so the fake greenette climbed out of the carriage.
'Looks like I need to do the rest by foot' thought the young woman while brushing some hay off her purple kimono. She was not in a hurry however since it was abut 2 PM now.

'Hm?' thought the female after they had visited the hot spring. Up in the sky was an Eurasian hobby with a Kaminari no Kuni symbol at the carrier. Her avian animal companion kept his red optics on the other bird. The hobby then landed in front of the trio.

Daiki gave her a nod after checking the newcomer. "Hey you...what's in your bag?" inquired Marii as she approached the bird. It gave her hand a small nudge when it saw the fish piece inside it.
The young woman opened the small bird carrier. What she read there made her eyes widen in shock.

'WHAT!? EMERGENCY MEETING WITH THE FARMERS TODAY WITHOUT INFORMING ME FIRST!? That's it - I've had enough!' thought the Raikage as her eyes got cold with anger.
"We need to get back to Kumogakure no Sato NOW! We got no time to lose!" stated the female after she had sent the bird back with a reply.

Her feline animal companion was hot on her heels as they went back to the harbour. Good thing that they were not too far away from the path they had originally stayed at. She stopped up twice in order to check the path they were on.
'So far so good' thought the fake greenette after consulting her compass. She then noticed a carriage driving below them.

The young woman hopped as quiet as possible onto the wagon. Shiori landed next to her just a moment later. It took about an hour until they saw the ferries lined up.
The trio hopped off the carriage and jogged towards the ferries. "One to Kaminari no Kuni please" inquired Marii after she found the right vehicle.

"That will be 100 ryo please" replied the ticket officer. She handed him the money before entering the ship. Her animal companions were both hidded inside her field pack just in case animals were not allowed.
'I better make a plan so I can face them without losing it. This isn't fun' thought the female as the ship moved across the blue sea.

Moved.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

'FINALLY!' shouted the female mentally as she stated on her trip back home to the village. The anger gave her extra energy that made her move like an amethyst purple blur through the woods. Both of her animal companions were able to keep up though due to their pent-up energy.
Marii glanced over her shoulder regularly to make sure nobody followed her. Daiki however surveillanced them from the skies above them.

She smiled when she spotted the familiar mountain chain where Kumogakure no Sato was located. 'This should be interesting' thought the young woman after landing on a birch branch. Shiori landed next to her just moments later.
"Stay close Shiori-chan...we're almost home" told the Raikage as they slowed down the speed. Her companion gave her a short nod when the duo approached the forest.

The female put on her goggles to see if there were anyone near them. Only a couple of pidgeons could be seen. 'Good' thought the fake greenette before she went into the forest.
It did not take long until the young woman had blended into her surroundings. The council were in for a nasty surprise once Marii arrived at the Raikage tower.
