Into the Flames.. [Travel]

[Itaru]

Head turning from left to right, Itaru sought a missing face. Not literally the face of a missing ninja, but for Kotetsu, who Itaru hadn’t seen for quite a while now. Could he have left them behind in Tea? To send a party out after them; to betray them even? Itaru’s eyes squinted and he gazed to the land that was the only way out of Tea, and that was through Fire, unless of course Kotetsu decided to travel through boat, but the one thing that made Itaru think that this wasn’t accurate was because the boat he took here with Koharu was still here.

He began an instant spirit towards the land of Fire, confident that Kotetsu had went that way. His feet swept through the rough terrain, but his sandals protected the soles of his feet quite well. While running he would pump chakra into his feet continuously, but he started to slow down and stop with the wasting chakra bit. He knew that if he would need to fight Kotetsu in the end, that he needed to have as much of his energy as possible. If he arrived exhausted, the missing-ninja would surely overpower him, and that left him to fight Nole on his own…

[Itaru]

Was it true that Kotetsu found no other way out of it? Why would the Sound Shinobi go all the way to Fire to simply kill himself before two other ninja? Could those ninja have been those from the Stone village? He couldn’t begin to understand the situation quite yet, but he needed to avoid all contact for a long while yet. Nobody was trusted, and Itaru wasn’t going to allow himself to be made a fool out of. Should he have stayed and fought those two ninja back there? But for what reason…? Perhaps, if there was a search after Itaru and Koharu, they would assume him to be dead.

Walking through the tall grass, Itaru was now far off from where the others were, he wouldn’t be detected where he was at this current point in time, but still he would remain invisible. Hopefully those who came by would assume the moving grass to be nothing but a rodent of some sort, but this technique was making him fatigued, and he couldn’t approach Waterfall while he was tired, so he lowered himself into the grass. After creating a few hand signs, Itaru would expel his chakra to activate a GenJutsu, also deactivating the Hidden Camouflage Technique.

Tsumisugi no Jutsu (Overload)
Rank: B
Type: Genjutsu
Effect: (in description)
Special: Snake, Rat, Rabbit, Ox, Snake
Drawback: Does not work when used in deserts or in snow, only taijutsu can be used once this is in effect.
Description: This technique allows the user to make all the colors of everything in the area around him more vibrant through a steady stream of Chakra exiting the body, effectively overloading his enemy's senses. What this allows for is the user to hide out in the open, and not be noticed due to the fact that his target(s) are more distracted by the extremely vibrant colors in the area rather than the dull look of the user. While attaining an effect similar to the Kiseisaku, this technique tends to work better in certain situations, but worse in others. Due to the constant emission of chakra, this technique can only be held for a maximum of five consecutive posts, and cannot be used for another five after that.
Limit: Only the Tenjigoku no Metsuki can teach.

Those who approached him would be affected by this GenJutsu, and Itaru would remain well hidden until he could get into Waterfall at long last. He usually found himself traveling with a companion at his side, and this would be the first time he traveled alone. Not even Kokkan, the massive wolf who followed him was around. Even her he had to leave behind in Tea. It mattered little to him now. She was nothing of an asset to him, and if those other ninja found the group of missing Shinobi in Tea, then they were on their own…
