The Docks [Post to Enter Mizu no Kuni]

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Welcome to the Docks of Mizu no Kuni. Below is just a brief snippet of the island's beauty, captured by citizen in the capital:



There's docks that cover the island's borders to allow safe entry into the country as well as to protect our borders. Around the four key cardinal directions are Lighthouse stations that serve to watch the ocean and look out for boats. Within the secondary cardinals (NW, NE, etc) are base stations that ANBU utilize to keep watch of the shores, as well as oridinary life guards, tourist resorts etc. The beaches of Mizu no Kuni are fabulous and many come to the country just to hit up the waters. In order to keep everyone safe, Kirigakure works with the Daimyo to ensure safe passage. Below is an example of the many docks:






As one gets passed the docks there is another lake to go around, going around this lake from the west side reveals the misty landscape of the country, approaching the core of the island:



Take heed to those of ye who enter and leave Mizu no Kuni. Upon the docks are always guards whom will ask for travel documents certifying permission from either a Hidden Village Kage or a Feudal Lord that you have been certified to travel. For those of Mist, should you enter the docks to leave the island, guards will question you as well. If you don't have the paperwork necessary you will be taken to a temporary cell until your name is cleared. As mentioned prior, ANBU are always watching the island borders, should you attempt to leave without permission and betray Kirigakure a Squad will be sent out to get you. A messenger system from each of the light houses and bases quickly gets word to the ANBU Office in Meikei and the Village.

Should an unidentified ship be approaching our shores, it will be ceased or shot down, you've been warned.

Welcome to Mizu no Kuni, please enjoy your stay!

*Please people, you *must* post here when entering and leaving the country, if you do not I'm voiding your post and I'm dead serious. I don't mean after I tell you to post either. If I have to tell you, I'm making you march back to your last point and let you do it all over again...tired of rules being broken -.-'

[Hakuturi]

Upon arrival at the docks, Hakuturi would nod his head towards those providing the boats for exiting the country. He was already known to them and this mission apparently had reached even here, they already had someone ready for them. That certainly made it easier. The boy stepped onto the boat and would wait for the girl to do the same, and then they would set off for the River.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

The two seemed to be swift, as experts always were. After leaving the base, they made haste to arrive at the docks. Ayame greeted the boatman, whom seemed knowledgeable about the current circumstances. ANBU sure work well eh? Haku had boarded the boat, awaiting the medic. She herself would follow suite, before their guide would set sail. Their destination? The River country, where the Mizukage and the others were wrapping up a challenging mission. Hopefully their temporary allies in rain complimented the mist shinobi so that the injuries wouldn't be so severe.

However only time would tell if this was the case.

Akiba's boat came in through the waves. He was to venture to the city capital. His motor boat came up onto the docks and he tied it down to the docks before leaving.

[Hana~Kyo]

Zuri continued to row and slowly approached the dock where he jumped up out of the boat and on to the wooden path that hung out over the water. He placed the oar back into the boat and pushed it away with his foot sending the boat back out to sea. It was foolish to hope it would end up back on the shore some where near where he took it from but it was all he could do given the circumstances. He had arrived in the Land of Water with no clue what his intentions were, all he knew is that he had to keep moving before some thing he would live to regret happens.

[Enter/Exit]

[zieg]

After handling his business here, the young boy would be off to venture into the depths of water, hoping to find himself in the land of fire, where he could finish his next half of business. He would find himself able to return here soon, keeping that interesting maze in mind, he would leave out on his boat.

[Itaru]

The Chuunin jumped onto the boat and looked towards the sea that lay before them. His smile made it obvious he was anxious to begin the travel. He turned his gaze to Toshizo, "It's been a while since leaving the Water Country." His light and kind voice, much unlike the average teenaged man's which was normally deep. A gust of wind pushed Ziro's black hair back and the sun revealed the natural navy blue high-lights in his fringes of hair. This mission was indeed going to be worthwhile.

[Exit]

[Hana~Kyo]

Toshi followed his ANBU partner on to the boat and held the hair back his long hair as to not let it blow in his face. The boat would take them all the way to river, that's quite a trip they had ahead of them and despite living in the water country Toshi had never been to fond of the water. He took a quick glance around and found a good spot near he center of the boat where he could sit and take a nap while pretending he wasn't actually on a boat.

[Exit]

[Itaru]

"It's doing a lot better, thanks." He would say with a smile to Toshi while they were still aboard the boat. Once the boat struck the docks, Ziro would jump from the boat and welcome the Land of Water with a wide smile. He turned around to wait for Toshi to get off the boat, since Ziro was obviously hyperactive and quickly to get off the boat. Next, they would head back to the ANBU office.

[Exit]

[Hana~Kyo]

Toshi jolted from his slumber when he felt the boat rock as it hit the docks, the shouts of the men working to tie it off could be heard nearby. He stood up, being sure to take the picture and teddy bear with him before jumping down off the boat and on to the wooden platform. It was no secret that he was glad to be home... and on dry land.

[Enter/Exit]

[Runesaka]

After awakeining from his sleep Akira noticed he was home. He enter The Docks and continued in to the water country. After 2 hours of walking Akira spoted his village he was home.






Exit

[Hana~Kyo]

Toshi walked up on to the docks, being sure to show his papers to the guards before moving past them and on to the steam boat that would take him across the sea to the fire nation. If his information was correct then he would be able to maybe get a lead when he reached the docks in the fire nation as to where his target had headed. It would be some what difficult though based on the fact that all Toshi knew was the man had a puppet.

[Exit]

[hirohideoki]

Headed down to the docks he knew what he had in store for him. Mist was in high alert and he had a feeling that it would all end here. Was he scared, no. Was he in suspence, yes. He entered quickly and he would run in search for the boat. He knew where it was.

No one knew where he was going. He used a jutsu and bought in the mist and continued on masking himself and walking out silently.

He had finally approached the shore of the lands of water. Took about an hour but it was well worth the travel, for the kid had no to find the Mizukage. Surely enough she would be back now, after the short wait within the Land of Fire. The boat pulled up to the shores of Water Country. There he would leave it at the docks, and tie it down like last time. Moving on he would find the Mizukage but first he had to find a way back.

[Exit/Enter]

[Hana~Kyo]

Finally after his long and somewhat troublesome leave of absence, he had arrived home. Not only that but the village could rest at ease knowing that the Mizukage was finally back safely in the country. One last stop he had to make before he could rest and go back to his training, the ANBU office, it wasn't a very comfortable feeling to have to go and report his first failure since joining the ANBU; but he still had to do it none the less. Toshi jumped out of the boat and said his good byes before leaving them on their own and heading to the village.

Kotaro was the first to step onto their home country and it felt great... Even the idea of loud students in the Kenjutsu dojo was better than any foreign country...

Kotaro dug his shoes into the dirt a little and took a deep breath... Lifting his head up to get an even deeper breath... Even Kotaro knew that all the others felt the same. For know it was back to business... As the others unloaded off of the boat. Kotaro turned back to Hina and said... "I'll be in your office in a while..." After sayng that he headed into the forest was away from the group...

[exit]

[Tozawa Tomotada]

Tozawa had just arrived in the land of waters. He had taken a boat and arrived at the docks. He tightened his headband as he said goodbye to the man who owned the boat that he rode over. He stepped onto the docks. Now all he had to do was fine the Mist village and find the kage of it and have him sign the treaty. Now if only Tozawa knew where to begain to get tot he village.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Moving through the docks from the west side, she'd run along carrying the giant in tow. Ayame wasn't in a good mood, considering the circumstances but she had something to do and the man's life couldn't afford to wait for the others.

{Enter/Exit Hinagiku after Hakuturi}
Arriving on the docks, for a moment she looked around and felt odd. Was the ANBU guard increased while she left? Either way she would shrug her shoulders, with her feet finally back on Mizu no Kuni's grounds, she felt a lot happier. Perhaps being away from home had made her home sick or the thought of how much work was left behind did a number on her. Oh well, back to the new life of Mizukage.

[Hakuturi]

Accompanying the Mizukage along with the medic and the unconcious Minamoto, Hakuturi would let out a brief sigh of relief, there wasn't much that was better than returning to your home after a mission - especially when he had barely had a break in several days. Worn out was the best way to describe the jounin. "Ah...good to be back."
