Voyages of a Leaf Ninja [Travel]

[Nisho]

    After exiting the wooden gate and moving to a location less conspicuous, Shiro would stop in his tracks and share his plans, "Hokage-sama, getting us there and back from Otafuku Gai will be your responsibility. If I were to travel there on my own, I would need a compass and a bottle of water but I only have 2,000 Ryo. Do whatever you need to get us there and make sure we have water. When we arrive at Otafuku Gai, it will be my role to search the city with my byakugan for the captured kunoichi. Once we've found her and seen what the situation looks like, we can plan accordingly. And, that's all I've got. Do you have any questions, concerns or objections? Anything you wish to share on the matter will be taken with the upmost value."

Hi no Kuni

Voyages of a Leaf Ninja
It had been a about half an hour since the duo had left Konoha. Following Shiro would be the Hokage who was in his usual attire of a sleeveless black shirt, with a black jacket over it and black pants leading to his black boots. The only difference was that instead of his usual red cloak, Kinzoku was wearing his Cloak of Hyūga, with the hood up making him invisible.

The invisibility cloaked the rest of his inventory. On his right index finger was Kinzoku's Gem of Insight ring, while his right ring finger was styling a skull of strength ring. His wrist sported his witch watch which held two Devil's Heart, one moderate Gem of Energy (orange), a Gem of Telekinesis and a Spirit Amber.

Kinzoku's butt sported his Type 1 Butt Bag which was loaded with an assortment of other items. Inside the butt bag was one Dancing Star Grenade, two Military Ration Pills, two kunai and ten Hira Shuriken. All items were neatly placed in the butt bag and positions were committed to Kinzoku's memory in order for him to quickly access them. Finally, was Kinzoku's Gem of Wise stud which was in his left ear.

After a short period of leaping from tree to tree, the two shinobi come to an abrupt stop, with the only life forms around them being nature an it's residents. As they stopped, Kinzoku figured Shiro wanted to talk, and therefore removed his hood. As he listened to the young genin, he smiled.

"Sounds like a good plan Shiro, but while this is a mission, I also want this to be a learning moment to inspire growth."

Kinzoku would pause and inhale through his nose. When doing so, his nose would be tickled with the slightest faint of salt.

"Do you smell that? Seems like there could be a water source nearby. There are small villages outside of Konoha that use sources such as rivers and wells to get water. Usually, they have irrigation and purifying systems in place to make sure their water is clean, but if not, I can teach you desalination as well."

Kinzoku then proceeded to put his hood up and become invisible again.

"As a shinobi, you have more tools than just your eyes. Utilize all of your senses to track down a source of water."

Kinzoku knew the water source was towards their destination, therefore there was no problem providing a teaching lesson along the way. But first, he wanted to teach Shiro how to survive outside of the village. First they would track down a source of water, and then they would focus on tracking down the Ame shinobi.

Gem of Insight Ring
Rank: "S"
Type: Secondary, 50 per Slot, Harnessed Gem
Effect: A harnessed Gem capable of giving the holder the ability to decide if an action is a right move or not.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Throughout the ages many people have tried to see into the future, to learn if a particular action or event will be for good or for ill. Diviners of all types, from palm readers to readers of chicken entrails have sought out future omens, but for many people the gem of insight is the most accurate method for divining the future. The gem of insight was discovered by accident. An unknown Alchemist had a small piece of mother of pearl, which was used as a worry stone. The Alchemist constantly rubbed the stone and produced a small oval depression. At some point the depression was worn to the right position where the gems natural Alchemical Properties was harnessed. The discovery and importance were not identified until many years later, but today skilled Alchemists are able to carve mother of pearl with the depression to release the Alchemical energy. To use the Gem of Insight a person must hold the gem in their hand and rub the stone with their thumb while thinking about the action or event for which they want to know the outcome. The Gem of Insight will not tell them the exact future, but it will tell the person if the action will be good or bad. If the action is good and bad the gem will tell the person this as well, and if the action is neither good nor bad it will tell the person nothing. The "telling" by the gem is a thought or feeling within the person and not an actual voice. The gem is not 100% accurate; it will give a meaningful response 90% of the time (A Game Master should roll secretly for the result). The Gem of Insight is only able to see about 30 minutes into the future. There is no limit to how many times a person can use the Gem of Insight.

Drawback: ---
Description: Jewelers are always after the perfect pearl, a flawless sphere that is the perfection of the oysters toil. While a perfect pearl may fetch a kingly sum, Alchemists and others who harness the natural Alchemical properties from gems and minerals will scoff at such a perfect specimen. For these people, the pearls true luster and Alchemy is only revealed in a seemingly flawed specimen. A pearl that has grown with 2 ovoid hemispheres that resembles a brain in shape allows the natural Alchemical properties to be harnessed. It is rare for a pearl to form naturally into this shape, and a highly specialized profession of culturing pearls to grow into this shape has cropped up. Even with growing cultured pearls, the chance of successfully growing a gem of the wise is slim. It requires a well-crafted seed to be prepared and then placed inside the oyster. After several years the oyster is opened and only then will the culture know if they were successful. The pearls natural Alchemical properties is released in a properly grown pearl. Holding or wearing the pearl improves the wearer’s intuition and strengthens their willpower.

    "Right..." Shiro said as he focused on all of his senses at once. He noticed several things, six new butterflies attracted to and feeding on the blood nectar of his blood genesis flowers on the back of his right hand, another posterior and four inches proximal to the first, and the anterior blood genesis flower located an inch distal to his elbow. They would add to the ten other butterflies that stuck around. He noticed the sound of running water and followed it until he came across an irrigation canal. The water in it was running Southeast and he figured that it lead to various nearby villages. Since finding a viable water source, all that was left to do was travel to their destination. He didn't have a map or a compass, which is why he gave the travel responsibility to the Shichidaime. He didn't trust the irrigation canal as it was likely to branch off to several places. "All that's left is for you to lead the way, Hokage-sama," he said.

Kinzoku was relieved to see that Shirt was eager to learn, but not only that, he was a very quick learner. Using his senses, Shiro was able to locate the water source. This would be extremely beneficial in everyday life and on future missions. After taking in the moment of helping the next generation grow, Kinzoku would respond.

"Very well. Otafuku Gai is this way. You can continue practicing tracking on the way by following a target you can't see. Remember to use all your senses. Listen for my movements. Look for imprints of my feet."

Kinzoku would then put his hood on and become invisible again. He would leap to a tree, where he made a landing sound purposely.

"Don't worry. I will remain close the entire way. I just don't want to waste this opportunity of learning and growth while on this mission."

With that, Kinzoku would start making his way to Otafuku Gai, stepping harder than usual to make sure Shiro could track him.

Training Tracking (0 SP) 0/10, 5 die rolls

 

     "Understood," Shiro replied as the Hokage put up his hood and became invisible. Shortly after vanishing into thin air, the genin heard a stomping sound coming from a thick tree branch that rustled some leaves. The sound came without a visual source and the sound was like a boot hitting the wood. Shiro was able to pinpoint the location from the sound and he looked at the branch for an imprint of some sort. Indeed there were small cracks in the branch where it had been stomped on. A brief moment later, the sound repeated but further Southeast.

   

    "The Shichidaime is on the move," Shiro thought. In order to track him more accurately, he jumped on to the first branch and immediately jumped to where he heard the second sound. He landed near the cracks of the yielded branch, watched, and listened for any clues where the Hokage could be. Upon hearing the sound of a heavy boot and the resulting crackling branch, Shiro immediately made it his destination. He landed just a meter beside the new track.

    Another resounding clash of boot and creaking wood and Shiro was becoming quicker at picking up the trail. The sound was a few more meters Southeast and it was easier to track where the Hokage had stepped. This was becoming more smooth for Shiro as he was able to determine the trail, even though he did not know where Otafuku Gai was. He would be able to keep tracking for the entirety of the journey, if that is what the Hokage wished. At this point, he was following the trail marked by the Hokage's tracks.

Pleased by the progress he was seeing in Shiro, Kinzoku took pride knowing that he was helping lead the next generation of shinobi into the future. It was exactly what the title of Hokage meant to him. Protecting his village and villagers as well as inciting growth in the future of Konoha.

"You're doing great so far Shiro. We are nearing Otafuku Gai. For the rest of the way, I will make it a bit more difficult to track me."

Kinzoku would then start taking lighter steps, making sure not to make as much noise. He had full faith that Shiro could still keep up but would still move slower, just to make sure, since his steps were so light. As he did so, Kinzoku began to smile as leading the future was becoming more and more fun.

Training Tracking 0\10 (0 SP) [Second post, 5 die rolls]

     Shiro landed beside the Shichidaime's last made tracks and listened with intent. There was a soft stepping sound where the Shichidaime's boot hit the branch. Shiro paused as another was made a few more meters Southeast and thought, "The Lord Hokage has disregarded his heavy steps for lighter ones. It's a little more difficult to track but not out of my range to do so." He leaped to the branch that the Hokage was previously and paused again to listen.

     The soft stepping sound, the leaves rustling with each landing and take off, and the general trail the target lead was enough for Shiro to begin to predict where the Hokage would be. It was enough to use his eyes and lock his vision in the Hokage's general vicinity and he could see the branch yield slightly to the Hokage's brawny, invisible figure. The branch shifting under his weight became the greatest tell as Shiro watched the trail. The soft sound of steps was the second indicator but he did well not to disregard it either. Shiro would be able to keep up despite the Hokage's stealth.

     After some distance tracking the Hokage, Shiro would become eager for an even greater challenge. It became obvious that Kinzoku had made tracking him easy and made it slightly more difficult over time. He was easily able to pinpoint the Hokage's location due to watching the slightly yielding branch, listening to the shifting leaves and the soft stepping sound of his boot. "I can tell you have been going easy on me, Hokage-sama, but would I still be able to track you if you were serious? I'd like to find out," Shiro said as he paused on the tree branch.

Shiro wanted to be tested and Kinzoku could see that, but to ask for the Hokage's best? Now that was a pretty bold move. One that Kinzoku loved. Not only did he like a challenge, but the fact that Shiro wanted to test his abilities showed that the will of fire was alive in this young shinobi.

"Alright Shiro. Would you be able to track me like this?"

Kinzoku would begin moving through the woods as fast as he could, utilizing shunshins in between movements when he felt necessary. While moving and having the tree rustling disguise his movements, he made the clone seal and create four shadow clones. Suddenly, all the clones began to move in different directions.

Now it was sure that Shiro would know there was more than one of him, but could he tell which one was the real one, especially since they were all invisible. After two Kinzoku's passed behind a tree, one emerged from the other side with two kunai in hand.

He threw both of them past Shiro, making sure not to hit him but trying to make try sound of cutting air throw him off. After the two kunai landed about 5 meters behind Shiro, three Kinzoku's would take off South, East and West, while one hid behind a tree, panting and out of breath. Now which one was the real one?

Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. (Cannot gain extra training points through training with Shadow clone.) User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a "B" Rank Jutsu. Shadow Clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique. Must be Chūnin or gain Village Scroll.

Despite this, a Demon Weapon is able to make full iterative attacks with their partial weapon form, and must follow the rules of the Weapon (e.g. User may transform into an oversized weapon.

Butterfly Tracking
Rank: "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows a user to track an opponent using butterflies.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: Can be washed off by water, only works within a certain distance.
Description: Male and female butterflies are able to detect each other from long distances due to their pheromones. It is through this ability that they are able to find mates. The user may have one of their butterflies land on the opponent, thus coating them with their pheromones. This allows the users other butterflies to sense the opponent and track them within a 50 meter radius.
Limit: Kitateha Clan. Must have Blood Genesis Ritual.

    Three more butterflies have appeared out of the bush, sensing the blood genesis flowers and falling under their spell after they began to feed from them. This allowed a control of a total fifteen butterflies in the vicinity. Shiro would rely on these few as Kinzoku accepted his challenge. He remembered his Aunt Mika's lesson when he had begun training shortly after the blood genesis ritual. She had begun teaching him about the butterflies and how they could be used as ninja tools. She taught him that male butterflies can locate females through pheromones, and that he could utilize this trait through ninjutsu.

    Shiro strung together hand seals to complete the butterfly tracking jutsu and held a unique hand seal while focusing chakra to his eyes. Veins channeling chakra appeared around his eyes and even in his irises. The female butterflies would attempt to land on Kinzoku the instant he had been found. To find him, Shiro would concentrate on his byakugan and activate the ability to see chakra. In this state, Shiro can see chakra being used, chakra auras, and lingering chakra while also being able to see through objects within twenty meters. He was surprised to find several figures, revealed by their chakra auras, moving quickly and erratically. The female butterflies would attempt to land on all of the figures that could be found, though the erratic movements made it difficult. They couldn't trace their movements and were merely waiting for the opportunity to execute the command.

    The genin noticed two Kinzoku figures pass behind the tree, and only one emerging from the other side. He had some form of chakra in his hands and Shiro was trying to determine what they were, but needed more time. Before he could determine what they were, they were thrown, but as he analyzed their flight trajectories he had determined that they were actually kunai. There was no need to move as they harmlessly flew past him, effecting the sound of slicing air and sticking into the ground five meters behind him. He kept his sights on his targets.

    He watched as three figures took off in different directions. Unfortunately, the female butterflies were unable to mark them with their pheromones before they were out of sight. However, Shiro noticed one figure remained within twenty meters behind a tree with his telescopic eye and noticed the figure's ragged breathing. The closest of his female butterflies merely two meters away had locked on and inconspicuously attempted to land on him and fly off before being noticed. Even if he noticed the butterfly and moved, seven other females would be on his tracks with the same intentions.

Before asking Shiro if he knew which one was the real one, Kinzoku decided to boost his morale a bit. In order to do so, the Kinzoku behind the tree would peek out a bit. He would then see the veins revealing themselves around the young genie's eyes. It had seemed that he activated his Byakugan. Clever.

Turning back, that Kinzoku would see the butterflies begin to land on him. At that moment, he knew his location had been revealed. Coming out from behind the tree with his hands up, after taking off his hood, the hidden Kinzoku would speak.

"So, you got me. Question is, do you know which one is the real me? Or which direction the real me went? I'll give you one guess."

The revealed Kinzoku paused, awaiting an answer, as his revelation should have given Shiro a bit of confidence to answer.

This allows the users other butterflies to sense the opponent and track them within a 50 meter radius.
Limit: Kitateha Clan. Must have Blood Genesis Ritual.

    Shiro observed at least one female butterfly landing on the invisible Kinzoku and flying away. All it took was a single touch and now Shiro was capable of using the male butterflies to track the pheromones left on the Tsuchidaime. The butterfly tracking wasn't as successful as he had hoped though, three shadow clones, and possibly the real person, had escaped. Kinzoku would step out from behind the tree, remove his hood and reveal himself in plain sight with his hands up. Shiro no longer needed to concentrate his byakugan to see him. 

    The genin took a breath as he began to ruminate on Kinzoku's question, it was a really tough call. He realized that he couldn't distinguish the real person from his clones with his byakugan because the chakra was evenly distributed between them. However, when two were behind the tree, Shiro was able to see something unusual between them and their chakra with his telescopic eye. One clone had disappeared and two kunai had appeared simultaneously. He presumed that one of them turned into kunai, and he turned slightly to observe the kunai five meters behind him. [Chakra Lore: 125]

    Two female butterflies fluttered down, marked the two kunai with their pheromones and fluttered away. He would do one last check of the area around him with his byakugan, activating the see chakra and see through chakra abilities as well as the telescopic eye that gave him x-ray vision for up to twenty meters. He would first peer through all the physical objects in a twenty meter diameter for any lingering shadow clones, then he would use the full scope of his vision and senses to determine what may be beyond [Observation: 125]. 

    After turning back to Kinzoku, he had no definite answer but he was allowed a guess. At this point Shiro relied on his wits and considered possibilities. What was Kinzoku's intention: to teach Shiro how to track. Three shadow clones had escaped in three different directions, fled and Shiro couldn't track them. Two shadow clones had remained behind, the one who revealed himself now and the one transformed into a kunai. He decided that since Kinzoku was teaching him a lesson, odds were that the real person had remained here, otherwise he was out of range in three different directions without a chance of tracking any of them. Between the Kinzoku who revealed himself now and the one who was disguised as a kunai, there was a way to increase his chances of guessing correctly. 

    Shiro assumed the jyuuken advanced stance and jumped at Kinzoku, aiming to strike ninety tenketsu points on his body. If Kinzoku allowed the attack to go through and was dismissed as a shadow clone, then Shiro would guess, "The real person is disguised as a kunai." If Kinzoku negated the attack, then Shiro would guess, "You are the real person," since he felt the need to defend himself even in this exercise.

Kinzoku watched as the young genin assumed the infamous Hyūga stance.

"So he was going to eliminate one of the options, huh? But which one?"

Kinzoku was wondering what would come next as with Shiro's eyes, he obviously had 360 degree vision and could see the chakra in the kunai behind him. Therefore, that meant he could either attack the kunai Kinzoku, or the one in front of him. Shiro then lunged at Kinzoku, attempting to strike him, but what Shiro would see, was sure to surprise him. The instant Shiro, jumped at Kinzoku the chakra would instantly leave the image of Kinzoku before him.

As Shiro struck the clone, his hand would go straight through him. The image of Kinzoku would then disappear. It would have looked like magic, but Shiro's 360 degree of vision would reveal to him that the instant he leaped, though an image of Kinzoku was in front of him, the Kinzoku with chakra would appear behind him, picking up the kunai. Once Shiro would guess that the Kinzoku that avoided the kunai was him, he would respond.

"Well Shiro. I'll give it to you. You are very smart. Tell me if I'm wrong but the fact that you attacked me shows that you figured it was either me or the kunai. You wanted to narrow your chance of failure from 50% to 0% and that is why you attacked me, for if you didn't know who it was out of the five of us, dropping your failure rate from 80% to 75% wouldn't make much of a difference and therefore attacking me would just be wasting energy."

Kinzoku paused to hear Shiro's response to see if he was right or not.

    Upon closing the distance of his target, Shiro's attack suddenly passed through the Tsuchidaime as if he were incorporeal and completely vanished. His byakugan was still undeveloped and he looked around confounded to find Kinzoku appearing next to the kunai and picking it up. The result of his attack had increased the odds that the body that had avoided the attack was the real person on the grounds that he needed to protect himself in a tracking exercise. He wasn't 100% positive, but by playing the odds he was more likely correct. With a natural stance, he listened to Kinzoku's assessment. 

    Shiro wasn't sure about the probabilities of 80% to 75% since he had concluded that in order to teach Shiro to track, he would have to teach according to Shiro's level. The shadow clones that fled were impossible to track by Shiro's capabilities, so what would he have to gain in the lesson? It defeated the purpose. However, everything else that Kinzoku mentioned was true, so he also took that information as truth. Shiro nodded in reply, acknowledging the Hokage's perspective. It would seem that Shiro, one of the most intellectual of the Hyuuga clan, had been bested even in his own arena. The Hokage was certainly earning his respect. However, Shiro's skeptical nature was more hard lined and his trust wouldn't be so easily won. 

    His thoughts drifted to the captured kunoichi in Otafuku Gai. He had learned some valuable skills; skills pertaining to the mission at hand. He wondered if he was truly meant to save her, it was further appearing as though he would. The universe was a macro organism as a whole, with checks and balances within each individual part and at constant war with itself. The goal was balance and who could truly comprehend the universe? In this case Shiro hoped that he was able to save the kunoichi for he detested thieves.

Lost and Found
Rank of mission: C
Danger: Medium-high
Posting Minimum: 4
Description of mission: A call of distress has been sent to the Hokage tower by a young female ninja who seems to be stranded in fire country after being attacked by a gang of thieves who stole all her money, leaving her communications device. She belonging to a small town in Ame no Kuni, the Hokage has requested for able shinobi to go rescue her and return her to her own country unharmed, and then return back for the reward.
Mission objectives:
• Find the female and take her back to her own country (Ame no Kuni)
• If the user is a medic ninja, heal her wounds.
Reward: 30,000 ryo

    Upon entering Otafuku Gai, the setting changed from that of a forest to a trail, to a clearing, and eventually to a city built upon the entertainment industry. The overall architecture was built around the many modern hotels and entertainment venues. Shiro turned to the Hokage and said, "I'm sure the best place to gather Intel would be speaking to the prostitutes of Kanrakugai. Since the kunoichi sent a distress call directly to Konohagakure, she may not want the police to be involved due to the nature of her mission." Shiro turned and made his way to the Fun Fun Street. 
    He entered a brothel named Honeydew and was approached by the Mistress. She wore a heavy fur coat, high end sunglasses with pink tints on the lower half of the lens, her hair was medium-long, raven black. She was in great shape and had a mole on the lower left corner of lip and a cigarette with a long metal filter. She inhaled the smoke and exhaled it off to the side while eyeing the ninja. Women in various stages of undress flocked to him and made themselves comfortable in his personal space, "How about Hitaru, she seems to take a liking to you," the mistress said. 
    "I am not here for pleasure, I am here on business. A kunoichi from Ame no Kuni has been kidnapped by a gang of thieves. If anyone here has any information, I need to know about it," Shiro said confidently. His tone seemed to inspire interest in some, aversion to others. Many women walked away at that point, but a couple stayed as if indifferent to the matter. 
    "I'm sorry, but we aren't in the business of information. If it is information you seek, you will have to look elsewhere," the mistress said, "In order to keep my girls safe, I have a closed lips policy."
    Shiro was a little disappointed, "Fine, but if you change your mind, I will be waiting outside." He turned away and exited the Honeydew. Outside in the street, he waited for some time, perhaps five minutes when a hand grabbed him and pulled him off to the side in an alleyway. It was an attractive brunette that had deep brown eyes, a round face and a beautiful smile. She was dressed in a way to display her assets.

    The Brunette came very close as if she were to kiss him, and Shiro though it was maybe a cover if someone happened upon them. She spoke very low, her voice was feminine and clear, "One of my clients told me that he and his gang had kidnapped a kunoichi. He was bragging that they overpowered her, stole all of her money, and locked her up. I'm not sure where exactly she is, but I have an idea. The thieves are part of the notorious Fokono crime mob, and they run a successful Hotel/Casino in Kanrakugai that was founded on their thievery. The Hotel's name is Shibushi, and if that kunoichi was anywhere, it would probably be there."
    "Why are you telling me all this?" Shiro asked, "Especially against your mistress's back."
    "Because, us women have to look out for each other. The kunoichi and I may be in different professions, but I would always help a sister in need," the brunette replied. "If that were me...well...it's an awful position to be in. So, go save her." She looked over her shoulder towards the street, "Shit, I"ve been out here too long. Somebody might start to notice." Then as suddenly as she appeared, she went away back the way she came. 
    "Wait," Shiro said in an urgent whisper and she stopped and faced him at the end of the alleyway. Shiro activated his byakugan with a unique hand seal and the chakra in his veins bulged around and in his irises. He concentrated and saw the path that the woman had taken to sneak out. It was a second door on the other side of the Honeydew. He observed the interior of the brothel, "There's someone there, don't go in yet." Shiro watched for a brief moment, and when the two women moved away from the backdoor, he informed the brunette, "Now."
    She nodded and took out a classic ring of keys that she most likely had stolen from the mistress and unlocked the door quickly. She slipped in, locked the door behind her, and moved to return the keys from the mistress's room, which she did successfully. The brunette appeared out of danger now and Shiro deactivated his byakugan.

Lost and Found Mission 3/4

    Shiro walked down the main street of Kanrakugai and briefly found the infamous Shibushi Hotel/Casino. He favored a stealth approach to this situation because he didn't want to bring out the heat. Indeed he had the Hokage with him, the most esteemed ninja of the Leaf village, but he didn't want to have to rely on him. It was a public place with a busy environment, so he would use that to his advantage. He activated the byakugan and used his enhanced sight to scope out to the architecture. Just as he had hoped, there was a flight of stairs that he could use to conduct his search. He deactivated the byakugan, removed his Konoha forehead protector and placed it in his pocket. He would also order his fifteen butterflies to remain outside. 
    He entered the Shibushi hotel and casually made his way towards the flight of stairs. As he expected, nothing exciting happened. He stepped up the steps one at a time until he was on the second floor out of fifteen. He activated his byakugan a second time and used the telescopic eye to peer into every room as he passed it. He made way down the long hallway that housed about ten rooms on each side.
    The first row of rooms yielded no success, all that he found were civilians. He made his way back down the hallway peering into the rooms on the other side inconspicuously with his byakugan and found the results the same. He made his way up the second flight of steps to the third floor and continued his search. The second floor yielded the same results. The kunoichi was still yet to be found.
