“I’ve waited long enough.”

This was the thought that ran through the Sakurai’s mind as his feet kept him steadily progressing. He had become bored wandering the confines of Kawa No Kuni, and he felt that he had awaited Kiros’s return long enough. At first, Kira would begin to make u[p his mind and march back to the bridge even though Kiros told him he needed to this on his own, but he would quickly change his mind, deciding that travelling home alone would be best anyway, for him and his fellow Cloud shinobi. This way, Kouketsu would be able to move at his own pace – held back by none. Slowly – but surely – the boy would begin to pick up speed, transforming his slow, steady walk into a mini-sprint.

Before long though, his min-sprint would shift into that of a full. His eyes would begin to adjust to the speed he was running and he watched as he continued forward – the landscape began to change. As he continued forth, the rivers seemed to appear less and less and the formation of trees would once more be revived – like the first time he entered the country of Fire.

The single entities of trees would soon transform into massive forests, of which harbored one of the best vegetation in the world, merely coming second to Kusa No Kuni. Animals ran through the woods of their home, some clinging to the branches of trees while other proceeded on foot, but some of the more daring creatures travelled within the watery lakes. Fish,, frogs, birds, deer ect – all flew into Kouketsu’s view as he continued his run back home. His energy reserves still remained high and although he was running non-stop, it made no difference to him, for he was a shinobi – a warrior trained for these types of things.

Upon entering the country, the boy would remove his headband, for he was sure the Cloud and Leaf village were far from being allies. He would watch his surroundings as if an attack was to happen – a mere safety measure one could call it. But within enemy territory, one must keep their eyes open and constantly moving – for the one that sees all, is unstoppable.

Claw country was one of the smallest that existed within the world, making it rather easy for the Sakurai to remember how the terrain looked. Almost a barren wasteland with small mountains here and there, but nothing too drastic. Unfortunately, the boy had become tired running her from Kawa No Kuni. He had refused to stop, but he did not plan on walking any further. Bringing his right hand up to his mouth, his fangs would sink into the fleshly shelter of his thumb, drawing forth the crimson liquid that existed within most organic beings. The liquid would be the offering for the summoning of the Sakurai’s trusted family of serpents, one that he had grown to love and respect greatly.

His eyes would close as he began.

Weaving in and out of each other, the Sakurai’s two hands would create the intricate design of Zodiac Beasts, allowing their forms to fruition. Chakra would be thrown towards his palm seconds before he would slam it upon gaia, pulling forth a rather large serpent. Hopping aboard, Kouketsu would ride the snake back to Thunder while he caught some rest. Its size would allow it to cross a great distance quicker than he had if he continued on foot.

Tieren, wandering the countryside to make his way to the land of snow, would come across Kouketsu Sakurai, one of his teammates. As he was jumping through the trees, Tieren would land next to him, saying "So, returning home?" It was simple, but not much more was needed. Though he did feel that an introduction was in order. "My name is Tieren Drasani... And technically... Im the one who is in charge of your team. Its nice to finally meet one of my teammates." He said, then thinking about his mission and shrugging the rest off.

"Sorry, dont have much time to chat. We have to get to the land of snow. Apparently a distress call was sent by 2 cloud shinobi who got lost in the mountains. You are welcome to join us, if you would like. Ill be sure you are payed correctly if the mission is successful." He added on, ready to leave. No matter what the answer, Tieren would soon leave with Shinobu, and possibly Kouketsu. The longer they took, the less time the cloud shinobi will have.

Shinobu followed close behind his team leader, Tieren. They soon approached another Cloud nin who Shinobu was not familiar with. With the Tieren offering the shinobi an open invitation to join their team, Shinobu, Tieren, and possibly this other Cloud shinobi continued on to the land of snow in a fast pace.

The tension within his body slowed as he entered his home country. Although he came from Claw, there was still unnamed enemies out there, whether they belonged to a rival village or not. Even within his home lands of Kaminari No Kuni hidden threats covered the land but here, he was at peace, despite the threats. Although calm, his eyes would remain on full alert and through them, he would spot two other of his fellow Cloud kin running his way. He hadn’t met either one of them but when one of them informed him that he was the leader of his team, he would know his name without the need of formal introduction.

He listened as his team captain spoke of the urgency within Snow, their trapped companions within the mountains of Yuki No Kuni. His big trip to river was a disappointment to him and he though about refusing, but in the end he would answer with simple nod and turn his body around. With his back facing the two shinobi, he would begin to walk forward, speaking as he did so. He only hoped that this trip would be more worthwhile than the last.

“Which Way?”

[Tieren]

Tieren heard that Kouketsu was on board for the mission. "Follow me." Tieren said as he ran off towards the mountains of Kaminari no Kuni. It was time for his mission to begin. He would just hope that he would be able to find the snow shinobi who are also on this mission. It was time for a mission, and this would be Tieren's first mission as leader of a team. He couldnt mess this one up.

As he made it to the mountains, Tieren said "Watch your step, and keep up." before he started leaping up the mountains, watching his step, and looking at the right spot to touch on the mountains. He only hoped that the others would watch him as well and follow his exact step.

It seemed to be a hike that would last forever, as Kaminari no Kuni was a large country. But they would soon reach spots of snow here and there, as well as falling snow. He had a feeling that they were either close, or they had arrived, but he continued to go throughout the mountains, looking for any signs of life. And sure enough, he managed to find two people. 'The cloud shinobi? Or the snow shinobi?' He thought as he ran up to them, hoping that they wouldnt attack.
