Hunted <Private>

Enter from the tower

T

he image of the guards had barely left him as he appeared at his seal behind the wall in his hometown. It was far enough from it that he wouldn't be discovered, but to make sure he wouldn't be tracked he immediately removed his entire chakra trace while making two shadow clones. Even though he was hunted, he didn't want to leave without learning what had happened. So he ordered the first clone to head over to the tower and learn what was going on, while the other one was to scout the town for information. The original himself was going to make sure he was safe and sound, away from the watchful eyes of the ANBU's, which he did by merging with the ground and swim deep down into the bedrock. In combination with the almost non-existing chakra aura, he knew nobody would be able to trace him there.

When the original had vanished into the ground, the two clones just looked at each others and sighed from the task at hand, what had gone wrong this time? They both vanished into the crowds with chakra signatures that was smaller than the people around them had while exploiting the shadows around them. It would be almost impossible to locate them as they divided themselves up to go for their different objectives. The one that would seek information in town disguised himself using the full body corset, while the one going for the tower only used the shadows.

The signal

I

t took quite a long time without any sign or information reaching the original which was slowly making him get nervous. Even though he had a good idea on what was going on up on the surface, he couldn't help but know that there were things he couldn't anticipate. But as he had full control over his own situation, he tried to calm down and trust his clones. When he almost had given up and thought about another possibility, Emi felt a sudden new marker that appeared in the center of the village. It was totally not what he had expected, but he immediately understood that there were only one reason why it would come up, it was a signal to move over there. After a brief moment of hesitation, he did. With the knowledge that he could escape a possible trap the same way he did the first time, he had to trust himself enough to approach the epicenter.
