Going north [mission, closed].

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu takes a deep breath in through his nose to see if he smelled anything off. He wasn't his cousin who was so good at pinpointing with his nose alone, nut He had trained his senses to tell the changing battlefield even when a sense gets cut off. He couldn't tell that anything was off by smell though he was getting in enough to be able to readily able to identify and track those nearest him. "It should be clean as far as I can tell but I am no expert." That have been said he had been dabbling in poisons of the natural sort and can identify a few by smell.

Ryutatsu then looked around some more, "I am going to eat from our supplies tonight to be on the safe side. Further I take it as a given until we are back home there is no safe." His paranoia was borderline too much but then again he spends most of his time training with AnBu as few others can keep up with his swordsmanship or skills anymore despite his rank of only Chunnin, which he was one of the youngest to get that rank.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

"Well, I'm not a poison expert, but it all seems safe. Besides, given the passengers, I think we can assume its all safe here tonight at least." replied the man. His voice was rather quiet. The male opposite to him took a deep breath through his nose. "It should be clean as far as I can tell...but I am no expert." admitted Ryutatsu.

"Same. Let's eat until we're 70% full. I don't want to have a full stomach in case the storm arrives early" muttered the female. "I am going to eat from our supplies tonight to be on the safe side. Further I take it as a given until we are back home there is no safe." informed the young man.

They ate their dinner in silence. Once they were done, Marii would leave the dining room with the men. "I would advice you to go to bed early. We should eat breakfast at 9 AM. That should give us enough time to relax before the ship arrives Yuki no Kuni" told the young woman.

"The ship would arrive at noon. I will check the map plus the necessary papers. The Yukikage is expecting us at the embassy. Do you have any questions?" finished Marii. Her unnatural green eyes looked at the duo in front of her.

(such as height, weight, hair texture and color, skin tone, etc.) User doesn't change their movements, nor handseals speed. In the new form user keeps all their normal abilities unless they use a limb or body part that doesn't exist within the current form. This means the user cannot use any technique unless the body form allows it. User may create equipment so the new form may carry so long as they are not complicated items, or use chakra (Master crafted items, gadgets, explosives, summoning scrolls, etc). User is not automatically proficient in them and their physical strength is not the same as the item.

Special: ---
Drawback: Cannot see out of natural line of sight, takes a negligible amount of chakra to maintain. Cannot pierce genjutsu.
Description: The second stage of the Kazeraikou doujutsu forces a temporary change of the user's eyes. The iris and pupil of the eye become one and change to a color decided at the first awakening depending on their mood. The color is like a cloud and swirls around the user's eye when looking around. Small lines of white will flash across the eyes like lightning bolts and continually do so as long as the eye is active. Also a slight glow of the eyes illuminate in the dark at this point. With the second stage of the ryuugan doujutsu unleashed, it allows the user to see the elements of lightning, air and water up to one's viewing parameters. One's natural sight is also enhanced giving the capability of 4 x zoom capabilities. The user sees the elements as three new, vibrant, and opaque colors that mesh perfectly with their normal vision, giving the user the ability to see the three elements without hindering their normal vision in the slightest. Of course normal vision can hinder this special sight, as the user cannot see through walls or other things as normal.

This allows them to see out of any screens, lenses or glass like material on them. If the device is turned off while the user is inhabiting the device the jutsu ends. An additional “C” rank is offered to learn how to hear with the device. This is mainly a tactic deployed by Kazeraikou to spy on people and listen in on their conversation without leaving a trace of themselves being there. The optimal range of this technique is 20 meters from the device.
Limit: Must be a Kazeraikou. Must have ryuugan.

[kininata]

While it was appropriate for the pair of them to be cautious on the trip, of poisoning, and other acts of devious intrigue, Kininata didn't have the same concerns. Maybe his age was starting to show, or his had become too complacent? Either way, he nodded in agreement to the comments made by both of them, and kept his eating of the meal very limited. He couldn't taste anything out of place with it, while at the same time it was better to be safer.

After they had their meal quietly, they returned back to their rooms. the Raikage stopped them before entering their rooms. 'I would advice you to go to bed early. We should eat breakfast at 9 AM. That should give us enough time to relax before the ship arrives Yuki no Kuni' told the young woman. 'The ship would arrive at noon. I will check the map plus the necessary papers. The Yukikage is expecting us at the embassy. Do you have any questions?'

Kininata shook his head. 'Just advice. This time of year, the weather can be cooler in the day, but there can be sudden bursts of cold in the evening, so be breaced for a sudden extreme shift at night. Other than that, sleep tight, see you in the morning.' He gave the Raikage a slight bow, and then would enter the cabin.

He placed his hidden gear back into their respective slots on his travel gear, and collapsed onto his bed. He hadn't travelled this long in a while, and he wasn't used to it anymore. It didn't take much for him to fall asleep.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu in his paranoid state took the night shift thus got not very much sleep but he had trained his body hard into only needing a little from meditation. Full sleep was not a requirement of his body no longer and that made him excellent for the current assignment. He didn't know if he was just being overly cautious or if it was a sign of his youth still that he was like this. Something in his time in a space without time has changed certain fundamentals of himself yet others just intensified. His clan as he knew it was Lightning personified but now he could feel the weight of earth even over the water combining with the storm that rages in his cells.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: Moved thread to Yuki no Kuni. You can decide when your character wakes up))

"Just advice. This time of year, the weather can be cooler in the day. But there can be sudden bursts of cold in the evening. So be braced for a sudden extreme shift at night. Other than that, sleep tight. See you in the morning." adviced the man.

He gave her a slight bow. It felt odd for the female that her husband was treating her this formally. Then again, this was an undercover mission. "Thank you for the advice Kininata-san. Sleep well gentlemen" replied Marii.

She entered her cabin after the men entered theirs. The young woman took a shower after she locked the door. Afterwards, the Raikage read through all the necessary papers. 'I have done what I could. Time for bed' decided the female.

The petite shinobi went to bed after she brushed her teeth. She fell asleep quite quickly. To her, the ship felt like a large cradle. The young woman hoped her body guards got some rest. Tomorrow would get busy.


08:00 AM next day!

A somewhat shrill ring woke her up. The brunette stretched out her hand to take the phone. "Good morning! This is wake-up service" greeted a friendly male voice. "Good morning to you too, thanks for waking me up" replied the female.

She hang up the phone afterwards. Marii packed her bag after she put on her clothes. Afterwards, she did the necessary ninjutsus. 'I got all the equipment I need. Time to get the boys up!' decided the young woman.

After exiting the room, she locked her door. The Raikage knocked on the door afterwards. "Hey boys! Are you awake!?" inquired the female. They should be up since it was 08:40 now.

[kininata]

...04.38...

Kininata stirred from his sleep. Not entirely restless, but not restful either. He opened his eyes, seeing Ryutatsu in the room. He was trying to meditate - doing a good job of it too - but the storm outside was casuing problems for both of them. He couldn't imagine what was causing him issues, for the Kininata it brought up bad memories. Snow drifts, swords clashing, blood of kindred dripping into white ground...

He got up from the bed, slowly, trying not to disturb his partner. He reached down to see his three swords. Shippijin and Jinyasho glared at him in their sheaths. He rarely drew either blade anymore, even more rarely had them together since that day. And now they were with him, heading back to where their reunion began. He could feel his sword hand shaking, memory kicking in...

... The sword struck down hard, the force of the impact throwing Kininata down to the ground, rolling him backwards. Tazuma Hyouketsu, his eyes bloodred with unfettered rage, stepped closer with a grin as wicked as they come. Kininata coughed a little blood, flipped backwards onto his feet, raising his sword to face him. His breathing had become heavy, his arms hurting from the pressure of the blows. Tazuma swung downwards again, fast and hard...

...Kininata grabbed his hand, steadying it. He went to lie back down again, closing his eyes, not really sleeping. Just remembering.

...07.48...

Kinianta gave up on sleeping entirely, got up from the bed and started getting dressed, packing up his gear for travel. THe memories had stopped flowing for now. He sat there, waiting for the signal it was time to move.

"Hey boys! Are you awake!?" He heard the familiar voice at the door. He rose up, opened the door and nodded. Without anything spoekn, he stpped out with his belongings, joining their third in the corridor in preparation for breakfast and the rest of their journey.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu had already been awake when the call happened. Time as it was meant he was soon on shift for guarding, and he had been using his time wisely mentally going through movements of his small blade expertise. He no longer relied solely on his Katana or longswords, Ryutatsu now use blades of any size but still that was his preferred distance of fighting. Meditation was one of those things he needed to do to center himself but always he used it as well to mentally prepare himself for whatever kind of fighting would be required and in the confines of a ship the larger blades sometimes get in the way. Quickly he got up himself and grabbed the rest of his gear to head out.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

The door opened just twenty seconds later. 'Oh shoot. Looks like his memories are already getting to him' noticed the female. His eyes were still green, but their expression was chilly. Marii gave him a comforting look when Ryutatsu emerged.

"Glad to see you're bright and awake. Let's get some breakfast" told Marii. She went up to the breakfast hall with the duo. The young woman showed their keys to the maitre'd. He checked their room number, and smiled.

"Good morning my lady. We have a breakfast buffet for today. There are no table reservations, but I recommend one near the windows. Enjoy your meal" told the man. "Thank you sir" answered the disguised Raikage.

She was glad there were no reservations. The woman selected a table close to where they sat earlier. "You can get your breakfast first Ryutatsu-kun. Kininata-san can stay here with me" suggested the fake greenette. Once he left, she would turn her attention to the young man.

"I know this won't be easy. However, don't forget that you're not alone. Those mean people are gone too" muttered the female. She would give his hand a squeeze under the table. Even something like hugging would be too risky due to their mission.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu glared at the window but indeed grabbed his food that he had stored for him. It was stuff that he knew was tamper free because it has been under guard the entire time by him. He returned quickly but did not seat, instead he stood by the table facing the window looking for any signs of a distance oriented assassin. He knew that there are those who are experts in crossbows and poisons who could use this as an opportunity. "Kinnata-kun, go ahead and get yours and hers food. But I suggest we don't linger to long in the open like this." He had a itch between his shoulders about the exposure of his charge, but he knew that was life when on a escort mission, one can only protect from so many scenarios, and at least he was confident even a sniper would have a challenge beating the speed of his blade.

[kininata]

As Ryutatsu left to grab some of the buffet food, he heard Marii speak to him with a lowered voice. "I know this won't be easy. However, don't forget that you're not alone. Those mean people are gone too" muttered the female. She would give his hand a squeeze under the table. He nodded to her, giving her hand a squeeze back. 'Just a bad moment... remembering my brother.' He said softly, his eyes closing for a second or two. 'We're going to walk past where I buried him.'

As he finished saying that, Ryutatsu came back to the table, carrying only a small portion of food for himself. He had been acting more and more paranoid as the trip was progressing, and he had been getting worried about him. "Kinnata-kun, go ahead and get yours and hers food. But I suggest we don't linger to long in the open like this."

He nodded in response, rose up, and headed over to grab a small selection of fruits and cheese on one plate, and sampleing of meats and bread on the other. He quickly glanced around on the return, placing the plates in front of himself and Marii, than grabbed a little for himself. 'Five, ten minutes here max, then we head back, pack, and make our way to near debarkation section of the ship. Try to be among the first to leave.'

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

'Jeezes. That kid is even worse than some of my ANBU captains' observed the female. The younger male was looking towards the windows. Sure, they could see some land in the distance. Said distance was at least 10 miles away however.

"Just a bad moment... remembering my brother. We're going to walk past where I buried him." clarified the young man. Marii blinked in surprise. She wondered where this could be. She was about to ask him when Ryutatsu returned.

"Kininata-kun, go ahead and get yours and hers food. But I suggest we don't linger to long in the open like this." told the young man. Kininata nodded as he got up from his chair. The young woman gave her body guard a sincere smile. She felt safe having two extra pair of eyes looking out for her.

Her husband returned a few minutes later with their food. "Five, ten minutes here max. Then we head back, pack, and make our way to near debarkation section of the ship. Try to be among the first to leave" told the man. "I agree" replied the disguised Raikage.

She ate her toast and vegetables after checking them for poison. 'Nothing out of the ordinary. Time to eat' decided the female. After breakfast, she would go back to her cabin. A small bell chimed on the intercom.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Our ship is approaching the destination. We will arrive in an hour. Please go to deck 1 for debarkation. Those at business class, families plus disabled passengers must line up in their own section" informed the voice.

"Guess that's our call. See you two here in 45 minutes" told the fake greenette. She went into her cabin to pack her luggage. It did not take long, but it was still important. The young woman checked her disguise one more time in the mirror.

'Not bad. Still does not look like me' mused Marii. She left the cabin two minutes later. Her enhanced senses did not pick up anything apart from voices buzzing. 'Any minute now!' thought the female as she looked at the guys' cabin.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Our ship is approaching the destination. We will arrive in an hour. Please go to deck 1 for debarkation. Those at business class, families plus disabled passengers must line up in their own section" informed the voice.

Marii informed the pair of them that they would neet ip in forty five minutes, and made her way back to the cabin. Kininata woulld make his own way back to his shared cabin, following Marii to hers first as per standard, then went into his own.

Duirng that time, Ryutatsu would be in there as well making his own preparations for the meet up and filing off the ship. 'Hey, Ryutatsu.' he started, picking up his travel pack. 'I don't know what's been eating at you during this trip, but I remember a different guy back on that team mission a while back. You seem anxious, nervous...'

He lifted the pack onto his back, and turned to face him. His own face was stern, his left eye shifting from the usual jade green to a bright icy blue sheen - his mind shifting focus. 'I'm not going to pry. Its not my business, but I need to know you are okay. Where we're going, there might be people who will come after her, and I know there are people who might come at me. I need to know that you are up to this. I need to trust you will be there if I can't be.'

After a moment, his demeanour shifted back, his left eye shifted back to its normal jade green.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu nodded to Kininata. "It's no secret, I have been trapped in a timeless tower full of alien life from dimensions not our own. I spent apparently four years in real time but much longer experienced in that space. It was constantly full of danger as I journeyed to return to this realms, and even then it seems I am merely in a parallel universe. So yea, I am nervous but more because I have become use to being on high alert all the time. I can handle this, thank you. My skills in defense have not atrophied but it may be awhile before I can relax."

As he spoke his eyes no longer reflected the lightning in which he was named but was a place of balance and danger. It seemed that Ryutatsu was struggling to become balance within himself but at the same time there was a strength of growth happening. Either way Ryutatsu once done with the conversation would be ready for their departure from the boat.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: I did not make this art. Credit goes to the artist/artists!))


The female would walk to deck 1 with her guards. Her weird green eyes looked for the business class area. It did not take long until she saw the 'business class' sign on the far left. 'Thank Kami for the space. Makes it harder for someone to sneak up on us' observed Marii.

After a short while, the sailors opened up a door on each side. The disabled people left first. Next was the families. 'We're up next' observed the young woman. She glanced at her fellow passengers.

The disguised Raikage did not see anything out of the ordinary. If nothing happened, the trio would leave the ship. The port town was quite cute. A cold breeze whipped her pistachio green hair a little. Her green eyes looked for a sign of some sort.

Suddenly, a male brunette approached them. He stopped when he was roughly five meters away. "Welcome to our city! May I offer you a cart out of town? Special price for the three of you" told the man.

'Great. Just what we need. A scam artist or someone who charges triple prices. Let's see how my dynamic duo will deal with him' decided the female. She made sure to position herself slightly behind the two men.

[kininata]

Getting off the boat was nice and simple, as planned. minimal hassle and crowding. And then came the view of the port.

Nostalgia came over him for a moment. He had been to this port many times over the years. Not all of them brining bad memories. He had vague memories of his mother and father bringing him here to meet family; a trip to visit his uncle before everything went wrong. The feeling passed over him, and his mind returned to the present.

It wasn't too long until the locals started circling around them to try and delve into their pockets. It started woth a male brunette approaching them, stopping his approach as he got about five meters away - he could see his eyes were focused on their charge rather than the sheathed weapons her guards bore. "Welcome to our city! May I offer you a cart out of town? Special price for the three of you" told the man.

Marii back up a couple of steps, letting Ryutatsu and Kininata take the lead in handling this. Kininata raised a welcoming hand, his other reaching for hidden kunai beside his money pouch. 'Hello there! Thanks for the warm welcome! I appreciate the offer, but there is a lovely old couple coming a few people behind us who could use that far more than us. And besides, we're just passing through. Could you please step aside, my friend?'

The young man before them, taking a step to the side. He glanced down at Kininata's hands, and then back up to his face, trying to galnce around to gain the gaze of their charge. 'Oh I understand, we all have busy days, but sure you wouldn't want to put undo harm n that lovely lady's feet from travelling all day would you?' He replied back to Kininata, a certain insistence in his voice.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu allowed Kininata take the lead in talking with the cart guy that had gotten too close for his comfort. As a precaution, Ryutatsu shifted his stance slightly as a small dagger formed in his hand. A single blade of grass from his pocket formed the small green blade that looks particularly flowery. His stance was one that was combat ready to stop anything from touching his charge even from this short of a distance.

With a quick glare at the insistent man that should give the hint that Ryutatsu was in no mood for him. Then proceeded to stretch his senses out to look for other threats besides that man who may well just be the distraction. Kininata had the man to the front of them well in hand at the moment but that just meant his vigil needed to be ever more broad as his partner and Kage had been focused.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

The oldest Chuunin was the first to respond."Hello there! Thanks for the warm welcome! I appreciate the offer, but there is a lovely old couple coming a few people behind us who could use that far more than us. And besides, we're just passing through. Could you please step aside, my friend?" inquired the man.

The male took a step to the side. He glanced down at the other guys hands, and then back up to his face. The female made sure to look away. Her ryuugan was not something civilians saw every day. Especially outside of Kumogakure no Sato.

"Oh I understand, we all have busy days. But sure you wouldn't want to put undo harm on that lovely lady's feet from travelling all day...would you?" told the man. She noticed the insistence in his voice. 'DO I LOOK LIKE I'M 100 YEARS OLD OR SOMETHING!?' screamed her inner.

The younger Chuunin had shifted his stance slightly as well. When the man saw the younger guy, he looked uncomfortable. "HEY! Get out of the way!" shouted a voice behind the brunett. A pair of sailors was coming in their direction with a cart between them.

"Let's go!" whispered Marii as the sailors approached. She would move parallel to the cart in order to stay hidden. The young woman knew the duo would have seen her change position. She would follow the cart until they reached one of the main streets. "Phew...that was close" muttered the disguised Raikage.

The streets were nearly empty since it was noon. It was a clear day with few clouds. Furthermore, there was only a slight breeze. Her unnatural green eyes looked for any signs. Her lips formed into a smile once she saw a sign across the street.

"That sign is pointing to the capital. I doubt it's a genjutsu since it's pointing south-east. Let's go" told the female. She would let the men form their formation before continuing their trip. So far, the mission was going according to plan.

[kininata]

At Ryutatsu's repositioning, the cart man took a more cautious look at the three of them. There was a look in his eyes-

"HEY! Get out of the way!" shouted a voice behind the brunett. A pair of sailors was coming in their direction with a cart between them. Kininata didn't break his gaze, but could hear the familiar feminine whisper from behind. "Let's go!"

The sailors approached with the cart quickly, and the cart man turned to look at them. Marii moved parallel with the cart, and Kininata made a quick flick action of his wrist when he saw the cart man was trying to join them on their side. The act made him bound the other way, leaving the cary between them. The trio would take advantage of the separation, following the cart until ther reached one of the main streets. The man was no longer in sight.

"Phew...that was close" muttered the disguised Raikage. Kininata nodded, his hand still on the hidden kunai by his pouch. The streets seemed to be empty - which had been fairly normal for this port town from his memory. He notcied that their ward smiled at the sign indicating the direction to their destination.

"That sign is pointing to the capital. I doubt it's a genjutsu since it's pointing south-east. Let's go" told the female.

He let his hand move from the kunai, and gave Rytutatu a nod to take the rear. He didn't doubt his skills - he had seen them first hand years ago, and aware he was likely far sharper. In comparison, Kininata had been here multiple times, he knew the terrain, and the likely threats. His left hand rested on his ice gourd, right hand on shipijin's grip. He felt a slight twinge in his rigt eye, knew his ind was focusing a little more than it should - feel the change in the colour, the emotions.

Pull yourself together Kini... he wasn't one of them. He was just an annoying sales man. You didn't miss anything. He brought his mind back under focus, the twinge in his eye fading, his eye returning to the normal jade green. Besides, Ryutatsu was there too. No need to worry.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Once un-entangled with the mess they had been mired with by the cart seller, Ryutatsu relaxed a hair. He quickly took the indicated spot to the rear as Kininata moved to the lead. Even though they had pulled away from the crowds and were finally heading to the Capital again, he seemed to be more tense than he was before they had boarded the ship. The explanation was simple though, before they had been in the Country of their homeland, and now they are in someone else's. To make matters worse for his nerves he did not know the conditions of the area other than reports since he had been gone for so many years, so as they walked forth he began numerating the reports he had accessed in preparation for this mission in his mind.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

The female smiled as they walked on the road towards Yozamu. She could not see anyone behind them or in front of them. It was not the best situation since they were easy to spot. On the positive, potential enemies would be easy to spot as well.

Little did they know that things were about to change. The trio was about to walk past a snowy beach when something made Marii anxious. Her ryuugan picked up something - or someone - moving among the waves. The person or item in question was 100 feet away from the shore.

'It looks too big to be a fish. However, it's too small to be a boat. Not to mention that the shape is more human than fish-like' observed the young woman. Her weird emerald eyes were looking straight at the humanoid in the sea. Her body guards would have picked up on it.

There was something off about the creature though. It did not make any sounds. Suddenly, the creature stopped dead in its tracks. It turned its head towards the trio on the beach. What would they do next?
