To the Land of Grass! (Open Travel)

[zuka]

As he exited the Konoha gates, Iizuka smiled. Hopefully, he would be back one day. He had been told about the other Senbon Taitoku techniques so that he may train again in his own Village. One of the locals had informed him that the Land of Grass was bordering the Fire and Waterfall countries. So, he began heading in the direction that he thought was the Land of Grass. He was to continue training there, in the Kitateha Compound. Hopefully he would be able to make the next Chuunin Exams...

(( Move to Land of Grass please. ))

[Kinz]

give it a little more.

(( Sorry ^_^ ))

Darting through the forests of the Land of Fire, Iizuka took notice of how beautiful the landscape was. There were mountains to his right, more forest to his left. He could see a small lake ahead of him. Putting chakra into his legs, he leaped straight over it to the other side. It wasn't that big, so it wasn't hard for him to do so.

Anxious to reach the Grass Village, Iizuka kept the chakra in his legs so that he could sprint faster. He was supposed to be training in the Kitateha Compound, the home to the new bug clan. The clan that utilized butterflies for their techniques. It would be an interesting experience for all, and so he did not want to waste time here.

After running for an hour or so, Iizuka stopped by another small lake to take a break. He allowed almost all of the kikai in his body to roam around the area, searching for any food. Perhaps an apple or some other fruit. He kneeled down next to the lake in order to take a small drink. Telepathicly, his kikai alerted him of a small apple tree, and Iizuka walked over to it and plucked a few apples. As he ate them, some of his kikai in turn jumped to the rest of the apples and ate them rapidly. He chuckled slightly, then recalled his kikai. It was time to move again. He darted off in the direction he thought was the Grass country.

Passage of Time: 1 Day

A few hours after starting again from the lake, Iizuka stopped to sleep. Night had fallen and he was tired. So, after sleeping, he ate the rest of the plucked apples and began on his way. He knew he was drawing closer to the border of the Fire and Grass countries. With renewed vigor, he again put chakra into his legs and sprinted as fast as he could. He could feel that he was almost there...

[Kinz]

[Moved to Land of Grass]

When the lush forest ended in a seemingly endless field of beautiful flora, Iizuka knew he had arrived in the Grass country. But now a problem presented itself... He didn't know where the Hidden Grass Village was! Although the location of the Grass Village was known to the Waterfall Village, he didn't think he had time to go back to the Waterfall Village to ask for its location. Besides, he didn't want to bother the Takikage. So, he began his search for the Grass Village.

The land around Iizuka was full of hills and small mounds covered in plant life. There were no mountains or large obstructions that could seem to be a path to the Hidden Village. "I guess they don't call it a Hidden Village for nothing..." he thought. As he continued to look and run around, an idea came to him. Raising his arms into the air, Iizuka let out ten small groups of kikai. Then, he created a bug clone to further aid him.

Mushi Bunshin no Jutsu
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a clone made out of bugs.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Horse, Monkey, Dog
Drawback: Will dissipate after one solid hit.
Description: The user performs the handseals, creating a clone of bugs. This clone will dissipate after one solid hit. When the user first learns this jutsu, they are capable of only creating one Mushi Bunshin. However, with B ranked training, they may increase that number by one. This training may be performed a maximum of 9 times, allowing for a maximum ten bug clones.
Limit: Kikaichu no Jutsu

The ten groups of kikai and the bug clone all went in seperate directions to spread out and search for the entrance to the Hidden Grass Village. He too then began in his own direction to search for the Village. As he searched the area around him, Iizuka took notice that there was bug life around him as well. The butterflies were what he noticed most, and it gave him the thought that he may be close to the Hidden Grass Village, for he had been told that the Kitateha Compound was on the outskirts of the Village.

Passage of Time: 1 Day

Recalling the groups of kikaichu and his clone, Iizuka found a nice spot on top of a small hill to rest for the night. He dispersed the clone and allowed the kikaichu to return to his body. Now, it was time for rest. He lay down looking up at the starry sky. He smiled as he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Tomorrow would be another day of searching.

As he awoke, Iizuka thought he was wasting time here. It would be easier to travel back to the Waterfall Village and continue his training there. He would have a message delivered to the Kitateha's about his absence. Perhaps he would be back one day...
