squid only, my <3

Having departed the ward of Amegakure no Sato to explore the open lands for missions, Ryuuji set out with his comrade in the thick of night. He had been dressed as a wraith: in total black, and his naginata that was strapped to his back was nearly reminiscent to a scythe of a shinigami. The duo would forge their way on to the west,
towards Kusa kuni, to deliver a sword in that land; on the round about trip, they were then to patrol the border between the lands of Rain and Grass. Yet not knowing the flux between the two ninja nations, Ryuuji went on to tell Shinji to try to keep a low profile. He had went ahead and taken his Ame hitai-ate and stashed it inside of his poncho; Shinji, knowing the bastard, probably wouldn't care to remove it from his left bicep. "Fucking troop," Ryuu commented as they dashed through the wetlands, anxious to get their feet wet together in this installment of missions.

As they went, Ryuuji's katana rocked coolly at his side. They moved hastily and with utmost grace through the thickets of the country.

move to grass, please

matching his partner in alacrity, shinjiro moved through the leafage and perpetual rainfall of ame no kuni. he knew not of the depth or scope of the two nation's relations, yet he picked up on ryuuji's cue of hiding his hitai-ate; following suit, he tucked his armband within his shirt after wrapping its cloth around itself, so as to not make a noise against his previous hitai-ate which was also stationed there.

what was once verdure became nothing more than soddened vegetation under the rain clouds of the country; to this effect, their footfalls were accompanied with the displacement of water, all but masked by the overarching sound of rain. thick canopies belonging to similarly-sized trees provided momentary relief of the precipitation; under this shroud of greenery, still raindrops could be seen atop the flora, having found a spot to land by creeping through the cracks and crevices from the canopy above. shinjiro could see the faint reflection of ambient light from gazing at the dew as he whisked by, the sound of their passage sounding like a steady but brisk whoosh as they trodden on.

it would be a while before they would reach their destination, but his sight was set on the path ahead.

Shinjiro had been a shinobi quite similar to his comrade, Ryuuji. Given the innate bond between the two, that they had previously gathered in academic studies,
and in mission duty. Therefore, the silence that hang admist the company was not unsettling, but consoling. The dampening rains of the land quickly began to diminish as they pressed toward more viridian lands. Kusa no Kuni lay over a steep hill, which appeared to have a corona extending from its arching body.

Once the two managed to reach green and dry land, Ryuuji lowered his hood and adjusted his eyes.

"It's been some time since I've seen sunlight--" but he cut himself abrupt, having observed a peculiar sound to his right, at fifteen or so meters. Immediately, he would dart behind a tree of abnormal girth; he craned his head to scry the land in the direction of the noise, so as to see what had made the braying sound, from decent cover.

The Amenin turned his head, and to his dismay, Shinjiro had vanished into thin air.

-_-;

What the fuck am I supposed to do now... he wondered. He still had two missions to complete, and without his ally, they may prove difficult. But seeing how he had trekked this far into this foreign land, he chose to not turn tail and return to Amegakure no Sato with two failed missions on his hands.

He would have to deal with Shinji later, but for now, he removed himself from his hidden place and withdrew his katana. The braying had ceased a while ago, but it was best for a shinobi to always be at the ready. For now, Ryuuji would keep heading towards his primary objective to deliver the custom-made sword of Master Subeta. Once he found his way into a town, perhaps he could ask around for the whereabouts of this man's brother...
