Turning back [travel]

[Haru Nenji]

From the Mist Village, all the way up to Waterfall country, now back down to Wind country. This had been a long trip and it wasn't over yet. Mist village didn't suit Haru, and Waterfall was to damn hard to find. Sand, however, was a desert full of sand and warm temperature, perfect for Harus liking. The only problem would be first getting to the country, not exactly a short walk, longer still seeing as he would be alone for most of it, and then wandering the desert until he stumbled upon the village, the hidden village. One advantage however, would be that once in the desert he would no longer have to carry around his heavy gourd, as he would be surrounded by sand at all times. His first stop would be Grass country, then Rain, then finally Wind and he would start now.

Little did he know, he had been right near the entrance to the Waterfall village only a few short minutes earlier but he was now on his way South-West to the Country of Grass where he wouldn't stop no matter what. A large forest stood in his way but didn't deter him as he bounded gracefully in the branches. It became quite obvious he had reached the country of Grass when the trees suddenly stopped, replaced by knee-high grass, and Haru crashed onto the ground where he rolled for a few feet. Upon grabbing his head and examining his injuries Haru found that nothing had really happened except got a few grass blades caught in his ears. This was definitely the Grass country, either that or he had instantaneously grew incredibly large and these were the trees he was below earlier. Yeah, right. Grass country it was.

[Itaru]

Moved to Grass

[Haru Nenji]

The grass country was small so it wouldn't take long to run to the border if he really hightailed it. Unfortunately, this damned high grass prevented him from making any kind of forward progress, it was like trudging through knee-high snow. It left a trail like knee-high snow as well, looking back he could see precisely where he had been minutes earlier, which was decidedly a problem. There seemed no tactical way to fix it, though. So he did the only thing he could do, he kept walking, kept walking until the grass gave way to solid ground and it began to rain, this would mark his passage into the Rain country.

[Masakuni]

Moved.

[eiji]

"Yo."

The voice would come from behind the boy. About 5 meters behind him, perched upon the branch of a tree about 10 feet off the ground would stand Sachi. All 6 arms would be folded into his chest, almost in an arrogant manner. Sachi had never seen this one before, and the fact he had a mist headband made matters worse. The two lower arms would reach down to his waist now, each one grabbing the hilt of either blade.

"The hell you think you're doing around here?"

His tone was that of an angry one, it had a slight growl to it. After that one run-in with the missing shinobi from Leaf it left him somewhat annoyed towards foreign shinobi in Ame. After the meeting he just had Sachi was pumped up, maybe this kid felt like making a donation?

[Haru Nenji]

The sound of a not-so happy ninja growling from behind him was a cause for great annoyance for Haru, it had been a long trip and the last thing he needed was to be stopped in the middle of it. "Just passing through on my way to the Wind country, you're welcome to escort me to the border if you feel I am a threat to your village." Haru wasn't worried, he posed no threat to Amegakure and had no desire to treated as a threat. People were predictable, this guy wouldn't have batted an eye had they both been in a different country but since Haru was in the country of his opponents birth hostility would ensue. By making it perfectly clear that he was not going to do anything except pass idly through he hoped to cut delay time down.

Six arms, Haru couldn't handle that. Hell, Haru could barely handle a Leaf genin, so kissing ass would be the best way to get out of this. He didn't wear his headband on his body, it was kept in his pouch so he could identify himself as a Mist ninja to other Mist ninja, and since it wasn't scratched out he would have no reason to believe Haru was actually missing. The six-armed mans hostilities were justified, however, by the fact that Haru was indeed foreign to this country and therefore unpredictable. The newcomer would hopefully simply guide him to the border of the Wind country and leave it at that, no hassle, no fuss.

[eiji]

[Sorry it took me a while to post, was paintballing all day]

"Just passing through on my way to the Wind country, you're welcome to escort me to the border if you feel I am a threat to your village."

The mention of an escort had Sachi interested, his right brow would raise to show this. This boy didn't know Sachi, but at the same time, he did not know him, he wasn't entirely sure how to approach this foreign warrior. Still, a light sigh would emerge from the Kumomusha as he once more began to speak.

"Fair enough..But how much will I be paid?"

The words would come out in calm, almost cold manner.

"All escort are paid for their duties.."

He continued, still an icy sting to his words.

"How about..You give me all your Ryo, and you may pass in peace?"

From the tone in his voice, it was quite clear he was serious.

[Haru Nenji]

"One would think . . . that the guarantee of your villages security would be payment enough" This new guy was demanding that Haru pay the Ame nin to ensure safety of the Rain village, a little out of whack this one was. Haru requested to be escorted not for his gain, but to give the other ninja the peace of mind that he was not going to harm his precious village, so one would think that that would be payment enough. There was no chance in hell Haru was going to give up his Ryo to be escorted out of somebody else's country, that was just absurd.


{fux the shortness}

[eiji]

"One would think . . . that the guarantee of your villages security would be payment enough"

A sigh came from the Kumomusha, with this said he knew he would have to move and forcefully take the money, first step of action would be to incapacitate him. Sachi stared at the boy coldly, he didn't feel like causing too much harm, just enough to get the job done. In the blink of an eye Sachi had vanished[1/3], his image would appear behind the stranger, 5 meters on another tree behind, about the same height off the ground. No noises were made, not even the rustle of leaves or the sound of nearby animals frightened.

Handsigns were made with his highest set of arms, simultaneously he would open his mouth and take a deep breath, although he remained dead slient throughout this entire process.

Handsigns were complete, a quiet exhale would signal the end of the jutsu. 1000 needles would soon rain in every direction around the boy, being 5 meters away the cone shape would fan out and cover a large distance; giving him almost no escape.

With one-thousand needles coming in your direction, it was a safe bet if one were to get caught in this they would be left in severe pain, this boy would likely have no idea this was coming-- until it was too late of course.

Dogou hari no jutsu (Roar of Needles)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: This attack is a cone area affect type attack. The user inhales air while forming the three seals. (It basically looks like they are going to preform Sauskes Katon no jutsu.) The user then exhales by roaring aloud in the direction they wish to attack in, damaging that area with a thousand or more needles.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Multiple uses (such as 3-6 times of use) of this jutsu could cause the user to pass out from an irregular breathing pattern.
Description: The jutsu looks almost like Temari's gust of wind done with her fan, only its done with the users mouth. A huge blast of air shoots out of the users mouth with a thousand or less chakra needles flying within it and fans out in a cone-like shape.
Limit: Must have Wind Release.

[Haru Nenji]

Force, this guy was no crusader or defender, he was a highwayman. Robbing travelers for their Ryo, this became obvious when he appeared behind Haru and fired needles at him. Haru was no fool, however, as soon as his enemy disappeared he pulled out all of his sand and covered his body in it. The needles embedded themselves in his shield and Haru got an idea, he made a miniscule hole in the rear of his shield, out of view of his opponent, and Shunshined [1/3] out of sight. From there he shunshined yet again to get him to the edge of the Wind country [2/3], and the third shunshin wouldn't happen unless Harus opponent decided to follow him.

Suna Hogo Sochi no Jutsu (Sand Shield)
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user slams his hands down on the ground, bringing up a large amount of sand around him into the air to block attacks. This technique is as strong as the user and is strong against those who are equal or lower in class then the user themselvs. This technique lasts for three rounds but the user is capable of gaining more time with this technique if the user keeps training into the technique. The more the user learns the longer it is capable of lasting.
Special: "Handseals" Slams their hands to the ground.
Drawback: This technique only lasts as long as the user trains into the technique. This technique also has a very large drawback which is that the user can not be within five feet away from the technique. If the user does so the technique will then fall apart.
Description: The sand Shield looks like a massive dome. As the user performs their seals and slams their hand down to the ground the sand rises up and covers the user in a massive dome of sand. The user is unable to see outside of the sand and would need the technique of the third eye in order to help the user. The massive dome condenses with the sand as the sand hardens greatly allowing a number amount of protection against the opponents who wish to do harm. This attack however is quite weak against Lightning attacks.
Limit: Must have the Sand Release, Must know Sand Control C Rank

[eiji]

Well, it appear his opponent was quicker than he had originally thought, too bad though that he would be headed right towards Sachi. You see, the boy was heading in the direction of Wind, and Sachi had approached from behind, the boy would turn to see Sachi. When Sachi had made his attack he placed himself behind to boy once more, therefore in the direction of Wind, where he was originally heading. The shunshin the warrior used would have only placed him closer to the Kumomusha, not too bright.

Seeing as he was already 5 meters away, the 20 foot range of shunshin was shortened to only a few feet it seemed, the second shunshin would be the only one to gain any real distance.

A Body flicker[2/3] and Sachi was hot on his tail, being a taijutsu specialist he was faster then this guy, it would only be a few moments before he would be right behind him, not to mention that heavy gourd weighing him down.

[You never posted using your 3rd shunshin, so I'd be gaining on you]

Sachi would be getting closer and closer, and as he was just feet behind the boy a string of web would launch itself from the Kumomusha's mouth, aimed at the back of his left kneecap. A violent tug would be made with four of his arms (Middle and top set). This was sure to yank him back harshly, possibly even breaking or dislocating something, besides the pain of falling on your face of course. One thing was for sure, four arms from a taijutsu specialist was greater then the left leg of a ninjutsu master; he had best think of something to avoid this, seeing as he was in the middle of running, unaware of the web capabilities Sachi had.

Kumo Nento (Spider Sticking Spit)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Spits spiderweb at opponent, once hit he can pull or swing them in any direction he wants, as long as he is strong enough to.
Special:---
Drawback: If opponent is stronger in rank, they can pull against him and hurl him, if even nothing happens, if weaker they are thrown.
Description: Emitting a stream of spider web from his mouth, Kidōmaru will grab onto a nearby opponent. The thread will run from his mouth directly to his foe. If the opponent is in the air, he can move his head and body to swing them wherever he wants.
Limit: Must be of the Kumomusha Clan

[Haru Nenji]

A violent tug on the back of Harus knees brought him back to the harsh reality that it would be hard to escape. Fighting wasn't an option, he couldn't win, so he would do everything he could to escape. The gourd on his back would easily weigh him down enough to not be tossed by anybody except a ninjutsu specialist of a higher rank and because of his slow running speed the stop wouldn't be as abrupt.

He came up with a quick strategy as best he could. First, because of his ninjutsu mastery he would cause his sand to rise up to their level from behind them both and pepper his opponent with Sand shuriken, thirty of them. While he was distracted Haru would form a ball of sand around a Hikari bomb and send it at his assailants face where it would detonate. The light flash combined with sand in his eyes would be devastating to his visibility and the Sand shuriken were just as sharp as regular shuriken, the only difference is that they would dissolve on impact, allowing the blood to flow out and filling the gaping wound with rough sand. All those things together should open him up for what would hopefully be a more deadly strike.

Suna Shuriken no Jutsu (Sand Shuriken Technique)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of creating numerous amounts of sharp like shurikens by using the sand particles found around them when using sand.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: A Simple technique that contracts the sand using the user's chakra to the point where it solidifies to a hard steal like state. Doing so the user is then capable of hurling the very objects towards the target. When learned the user is capable of creating an abundance amount of shuriken.
Limit: Must have the Sand Release, Must know Sand Control D Rank. Fifteen Shuriken per five meters is permitted within this technique.

Suna Bakuhatsu no Jutsu (Sand Explosion Technique)
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique that allows the user to take a small amount of sand to form the size of a ball that fits the palm of their hand. The user is capable of using the sand and allow the sand to move in the air. The explosion is mostly used for a distraction but is strong enough to distract opponents.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Does not create a strong explosion, just strong enough to harm an opponent someone to stop them.
Description: The sand spreads out exploding outwards in all directions. The sand pushes forth being confined with the very chakra to where when it explodes outwards the sand is strong like glass. This technique cuts and slashes opponents if they are to close. In better terms the technique is more like a small grenade to where shrapnel spreads out in all directions.
Limit: Must have the Sand Release, must know Sand Control.

Fool..

It was quite simple really, Sachi had succeeded in yanking the boy quickly back to the earth, it was a harsh reminder that Sachi was not to be taken lightly. But, yet from the ground he would lay, he was beginning to perform handsigns, that was more like it. Soon sand would rise from the boy's gourd, it was interesting, Sachi had never seen a shinobi that used sand, oh well, tomato, tomato.

He would begin to shape the sand into shuriken, a crafty little jutsu it was. As they would fly towards Sachi he simply stood with a rather bored expression on his facade. Auburn orbs would stare at the sand-wielding shinobi. Sighing, his hands would come together(upper). The shuriken would seemingly collide with his body, but in a plume of thick smoke his body would vanish, leaving but a small log in his place. Kawarimi at its finest.

In the midst of this a light bomb had also been set off in his previous position, lucky for him he was not looking where he was once standing, what was the point in that. Instead he was right beside the warrior, on his left side, his eyes were focused on him. But, before he would even be able to realize this his golden webbed katana was thrusted towards his stomach(Non-fatal), whilst his steel katana slashed down in order to take off his left hand.

This would all take place in a matter of seconds, and with his attention on where Sachi was(most likely) as well as the detonation of the light bomb he was sure to be distracted. No matter how fast he was with his hands though, he wouldn't be able to out-maneuver Sachi up close.

[Haru Nenji]

[I'm a ninjutsu master, the hand signs were formed in the blink of an eye, WITHOUT getting up. I never even bothered stating that I stood.]

[eiji]

[Fair enough, but blink of an eye..No. *Will edit*]

[Haru Nenji]

A puff of smoke, and only a log remained. Because of the blasted rain his sand hadn't been able to move as fast as he needed it to so the attack had failed. He only had enough time to look up and watch as the two blades entered his flesh, through his stomach and off with his hand. He cried out in pain and tried to move but he was pinned to the tree. His left hand, or where it used to be, was a fountain of blood which he desperately used to try to blind his opponent. He would not give up, he would not quit, never, never. Even with one hand missing he was still forming strategies, still trying to get out alive, and he would continue as long as his body would respond.

[eiji]

Sachi looked down upon the boy, he didn't feel bad, he kind of enjoy it really. Sachi would move back slightly(to avoid the blood), he didn't exactly trust this one. A string of web would be shot forward, it would latch onto his pouch of Ryo, and with a yank of his head would come flying towards Sachi. Catching it in his hand it would be placed into his pocket. Still, Sachi wanted that gourd, it would catch a reasonable price.

"Sorry it had to be this way.."

"But you kinda pissed me off, this could have been a whole lot different.."

Sachi would be talking rather mercilessly to the boy, he knew he was going to die soon without help, but he still kept aware of his surroundings, he wasn't going to be fooled.

Sticky web would be shot from Sachi's mouth, it would spew out to cover the wound in his stomach, as well as the stump that was left of his left hand. This would prevent him from bleeding to death.

"Good night.."

With that said, Sachi moved quickly to remove the gourd from his body, although he would keep a foot pressed against the warrior's chest just in case. Once this had been done, he would place it over his own back. Another string of web was shot, this time sticking right into the warrior's chest, He would tug greatly on the string, as the shinobi would lurch forward he would aim to deliver a powerful kick to his forehead; easily knocking him out for the time being.

With the extent of his injuries, there was nearly no chance he could hope to resist, losing a hand and being stabbed in the gut would cause extreme amounts of pain. After he would knock him unconscious the Kumomusha would throw the boy over his own shoulder. Taking off into the trees he would leave the scene.
