((OOC sorry about the wait kouga))

It was noon when Zag reached his contact point, a small fort manned by a pair of chunnins and some other volunteers, he walked up to whom he was supposed to report too, a tall chunnin with a scar across his chin and a pair of swords, clearly this guy was thouroughly grizzled, he took one look at Zag and said "Gennin, follow this map and don't deviate from 'et." he thrust out a small folded map, it showed a few of the country paths (but not the hidden village) including one that had been highlighted.
"I'm part of a team, should i wait here for him?" Zag asked.
"I'll send 'im out if i see 'em." the chunnin said, his odd accent suggested his jaw may not have benn broken a few times.
With that Zag moved out following his assigned patrol route.

Things were going slow, Zag figured kouga was just delayed for a bit, the sky was its usual stormy grey but it had'nt rained so far, Zag followed his path, the dirt roads were over used and a constant traffic of cart bearing agricultural produce wheeled by every few minutes but nothing really exciting.

((OOC i'll leave it to kouga to make things intresting, free reign to make something crazy happen))

[enter.]

Even if he was the Kage himself, that did not truly put him above helping his team do missions. He wished for them to function just as any other team would within this village, so he would do just that. With several quick percise jumps, he would move through the trees quickly, the rain not even able to shake his footing as he went. Dark hair would be blown about by the winds as he headed towards the first patrol path. While he was the one it was reported to, this way it'd be quicker and pretty much cut out the middle man. The Kaeru scroll would bounce happily in it's holster upon his back, the long coat flapping softly behind him as he went. Todays events transpired within his mind, he was trying to figure out if he made the right choice or not with Koga. 'That man followed so loyally, perhaps I mis-judged it all..' he thought slowly, however as Kage he had to stand firm in his choices.

..with a dull thud, the feet would push off of the branch with an echo as he made his presence known to ZaG. The sounds of his approach were meant as a way to let him know someone was coming rather then appear out of nowhere and startle him. Kazuya was all about illusion usually, appearing much faster then he really was. With one powerful flex of his legs, he would be sent soaring through the air so high that those on the ground would need to look up and shield their eyes from the trace amounts of sunlight. All that could be heard was a loud flap as he splashed down into the puddle next to ZaG, a wide grin upon his face. "You didn't think I'd miss out on this, did ya?" he asked with a toothy smile as he looked from left to right. "Hm.. seems Kouga is late this time? Or is it still early?" he asked scratching his chin, it had been a rough day.

"From here we have another mission possibly, I am waiting on a personal response." he stated with a stern gaze suddenly, he was switching to Kage mode just from the thought of the task. "We may have to travel to Kusa no Kuni and contact the Kusakage. It's been a long time since we've followed up on the alliance, we could use the interaction." he said as his mood suddenly shifted back to his normal smiling self. "And besides, this way we'll get you boys out of Ame and you'll get to see a bit of the world." he said as he playfully swiped his thumb across the tip of his nose. "With the exams coming up, you're going to see alot more then you may wish anyway.."

Exiting and leaving the Amekage Tower, Kouga was slightly delayed because of the fact of him flirting with the beautiful, young lady in the front desk. Kouga couldnt help himself since he is a guy and its a habit to flirt with a cute girl around him. Knowing that he was going to be late for what is supposed to be his real first mission, patroling the outskirts of the Land of Fire. Taking large leaps from tree to tree in a rapid but also steady pace so he doesnt lose any of stamina in just traveling and searching for his team, Zag and Kazuya.

Leaping from tree to tree, he looked up at the dark, cloudy sky of the Rain village and noticed that it hasnt started to rain as of yet. But due to him being born in the village, he could tell and feel if its going to rain or just drizzle a bit minutes before it even starts or even before the clouds are formed and summoned. Long, spikey hair would be blowned back from the wind that was being blowned in Kouga's hair while he headed to meet his teammates.

Several things could be showned like his forehead protector flying from a ray of light reflecting off of it, while his hood from his jacket blew back with his Inuzuka clan fangs seemed brighter on his cheeks. Quickly reaching and nearing where Zag and Kazuya were to meet him at, Kouga used all the muscles in his legs in a quick flex, soaring through the very air above Zag and Kazuya with his partner Haimaru right by his side in the air along with him.

Deciding to make a flashy entrance, both Kouga and Haimaru landed and a loud flashing sound would echo through the forest as they landed on a small puddle directly in front of Zag and Kazuya. "Did I miss anything, I hope Im not late?" Said Kouga as Haimaru released a large bark that echoed through the forest and the Land of Rain, as both Kouga and Haimaru's fangs could be seened, while Kouga revealed to have a smile on his face.

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

((OOC i don't think kazuyas arrived just yet, oh well, his problem. also people who don't think censorship is funny don't read this, but you probobly will since i said don't, jerks))

Zag was walking along peacfully when all of a sudden a big hairy hoodie wearing ninja and his dog fell out of the sky and into a puddle infront of him, not only was Zag splashed but the sudden shock caused his basic reflex of shouting "What the f**k." to activate with almost equal volume to haimaru's giant bark, two seconds later when his eyes recovered from the sudden release and waste of adrenaline and he once again could see and notice it was only Kouga he could only repeat his last statement and his name "Kouga, What the f**k?"

When his breathing returned to normal he gathered the strength to answer Kouga's original question "You're a bit late, but you have'nt missed anything, apart from the odd horse drawn cart full of corn its been pretty boring." he pulled out the map of the patrols route "See we're just supposed to do the highlighted path, mostly hills and rivers with the odd farm." he handed the map the kouga so he could read it "C'mon lets keep going." and he led Kouga down the rest of the road.

((OOC act two: now something happens to cut the boredom.))

The team had been following the path for about an hour, quickly a storm had started to rage above them and a cold torrential rain fell everywhere, they plodded along their path, Zag had the squint in order to keep his eyes from the stinging rain, through his half vision he could see that they were walking parralel to a stream, when he dared to open his eyes once more he saw that hey were about to pass yet another unremarkable country farm, suddenly, his entire field of vision was filled with light and a deafening crack could be heard, his senses reeled before he realised what happened, lightning had arced down and hit the farm house, its roof had split open and was engulfed in flame "Hell, c'mon we need to help, i'll put out the fire." Zag ran down to the stream and made a series of handseals and said "Water clones.", five copies of Zag ran out of the stream, he made more seals, "mud field" he pressed his hands to the ground and the area around him turned into mud, the clones scooped down and picked up handfulls of wet mud and began throwing them into the fire.

The original Zag ran up to the house and got ready for a bid jutsu, he made a long series of handseals and said "water encampment wall" he took a deep breath in and blew out a long stream of water that solidified into a wall above the fire, he pushed this wall out into the house, smothering the flames, but there was still alot left of the house that was burning and he had to hope the others could save those in the house.

..blinking slowly Kazuya would watch as ZaG walked right past him. As far as he knew he wasn't invisible, Kazuya would give a soft shrug and move on as well. "Glad you could make it Kouga." he said with an encouraging smile as he gave him a nod. The fact that Kouga had also decided to go for more then a normal entrance made Kazuya laugh, at least he had spunk. With a twist, Kazuya made to follow along beside his students, his cloak flapping softly as he did so. "I suppose my words fell upon deaf ears then.." he said with a chuckle as he shook his head. Things went well for hours it seemed, all of them able to do what was suppose to be an easy mission in peace. None of them could forsee what would happen next, a tragedy.

A lightining bolt would strike down upon the nearby trees, setting all in the vicinity ablaze in a glorious flame. Watching the crimson flames dance within his eyes, Kazuya would act fast. Forming hand seals quickly, he would make use of his Suiton Jutsu to douse the flames, following along in conjunction with ZaG's attempts. Pressing his hands to his gullet, Kazuya would expell a large wave of water from his mouth, riding up on top of such a massive swell himself. Moving forth with an alarming amount of speed, it would smash against the flames about the home, dousing all in sight. For now it would be enough for ZaG to save anyone that might be inside. "ZaG, get everyone out. I'll keep working on the flames. Kouga, assist ZaG." Kazuya would state with a firm tone as he made another set of seals, his gullet swelling against as he expelled another huge wave of water.

..time was of the essence. Riding the wave towards a massive flame, he would watch as a shed burned to the ground. Inside he would hear screams for help, a desperate plea for someone to save them from the shack. Jumping from the wave, Kazuya would guide it down against the shack. While it would wash the thing away, the chances the person would burn were taken away by the fact they would be swept away with the water. Diving head first into the water, Kazuya would swim swiftly to save the small girl, wrapping an arm about her waist. Pulling to the surface, he would make his break from the cold waters, setting her among the branches of a tree. "Stay here, you'll be safe!" and with that he head towards the house again.

[Shikaku]

Arriving to Zag and Kazuya's location within the forest's path, they continued to travel in the road, as several hours would pass by. Meanwhile the entire time, Kouga and Haimaru was extremely bored and wanted something to happen, he didnt care what either at the time. Until something terrable happen, as a lightning bolt had struck upon nearby trees, setting everying in a blaze, resembling hell on earth. This was one of the few things he was hoping that wouldnt happen, but Kouga acted fast. Knowing that he doesnt have any type of water technique or anything that could put out a fire, Kouga had to use what he had learned in the past and use all his skills to their fullest.

Using his already powerful nose, Kouga knew he had to help get anyone within the farm house. Using his equipe nose, Kouga managed to find a scent of a male within the house. Acting quickly, Kouga performed several handseals, " Shikyaku no Jutsu!" Shouted Kouga as he became more beast-like, as his speed was increased slightly. Knowing that he had to be as fast as possible, Kouga ran and charged straight into the farm house, as he vanished while goinig and entering through the large doors of the farm house. Disappearing from the smoke, Kouga had to find them quick.

Having his powerful nose, Kouga followed the scent and ended up founding a man in his mid-thirties who seemed to be the father perhaps. Kouga then carried the man on his back, as he attempted to escape the blazing farm house. Nothing could be seen from the outside, as smoke took completely over the farm house. Waiting outside, Haimaru began to bark as he was worried since Kouga was taking slightly longer then had planned. Meanwhile within the blazing farm house, Kouga struggled to find an escape as the way he came in, the ceiling had collapes on itself due to the flames. Out far in the distance, Kouga spotted a window as he saw it through just a small crack opening within the smoke.

Charging a head, Kouga climbed over the window and managed to escape the house before more parts of the building began to slowly collapes on itself even more. Escaping through the window, Kouga ran out into the field of grass as far as possible to a safe distance and released the farmer before running back toward Haimaru. Canceling the Shikyaku no Jutsu, Kouga was out of breath, as he began to cough more due to the smoke entering his lungs while he fell to one knee.

Ikimono Kaori (Animal Scent)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: A Shinobi, or a warrior is capable of gaining the capability of that of the animal kind when it comes to the sudden sense of smell. The scent of smell is quite different as the user must be with the animal kind in question for a period amount of time before this is capable of occurring. The user concentrates their chakra along the tips of their nose, along the hair follicles of their nose to where the smell becomes quite acute. The smell becomes strong depending on the animal companion that they have. If they have a Canine, they are capable of smelling a drop of blood within five quarts of water.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of going into this depending on what type of animal helper they have. If the animal companion has a strong sense of smell, then that means that foul odors occur, their sense of smell reacts to a sudden action to where they may become incapacitated.
Description: ---

What this means is if the user has an animal Helper of the Canine breed, then they are capable of having the sense of smell in similar form towards that type.

Shikyaku no Jutsu, Žl‹r‚̏p, (Four Legs Technique)
Rank: "D", "C", "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Depending on the Ranking of the technique the user becomes faster, as well as slightly stronger then that of what they were as a human being. Depending on the Technique that the user knows the faster they are capable of going, the stronger they are, but the largest problem is that the more they stay within the technique the more severe the effects become. When the user learns the "D" Rank version of the technique the user is capable of attacking once more then usual within battle because of their speed. When the user learns the "C" Rank version of the technique the user is capable of attacking one and a half more times then normal in every round. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of the technique the user is capable of performing two more attacks then normal per round. When the user is "D" Class the user is capable of sustaining this form for an amount of five rounds. For every Class higher then D The amount of rounds the user can sustain this form is one round her giving a total of nine rounds. This however means that, if they use their speed then that is when the amount of rounds must be placed in. If the user does not use the speed, then the amount of techniques does not take place in.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Takes an amount of time for the user the capability of learning. This type of technique also makes the user tire quite easily. Depending on the rank is dependent on how much the user must rest after using the full strength of the speed style of the Four Legs Technique. For every round the user stays in this technique after the amount of rounds, the user's muscles begins to tear, for they can not stay in that form for very long. For every round they are in with the D Rank version the percentage of muscle tissue breaking is five percent and increases five percent each round. For the C Rank version the percentage of muscle tissue breaking is ten percent and increases ten percent each round. For the B Rank version the percentage of muscle tissue breaking is fifteen percent and increases fifteen percent each round. The moment their muscle tissue breaks they will be incapacitated, and will need medical treatment. Each time using this technique they must take a break of ten rounds for D Rank Version, Fifteen rounds for C Rank version and Twenty Rounds for B Rank Version, or within a time skip version where an amount of rest was created.
Description: The way this works is simple, the user's spine becomes more agile, and more curve like to accommodate the sudden sensation of walking and running on all fours. Their arms slowly extends forth a few inches to allow them to move along the ground easier. Their teeth extends into fang like creations as their nails grow into claws. As they do this, their muscle mass becomes more lean, as if contracting against one another in which gives them the agility and strength. Chakra can somewhat be seen as it oozes out of their body in a small way showing the strength and strain within this technique.
Limit: Must be part of the Inuzuka Clan in order to learn this technique.

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

Zag heard Kazuyas orders, he immediatly ended the water encampment wall jutsu, the water falling and extinguishing the flames around the door, he saw that Kouga had already saved one man, but who knew how many more were still inside, Zag ran over to the mud pit where the water clones were still trying to put out the fire, Zag brought his hands together and made a series of handseals "Mud clone.", the mud field churned and morphed into an army of five dopplegangers of Zag, as one they all made a bee line straight for the house.

The clones all ran thorugh the front door, Zag stayed outside to give them their orders, his mind shared with all of them, two made their way into a kitchen, they found a woman about the same age as the man Kouga found, a bloody patch on her head meant she'd been hit by a beam other debris, one clone scooped her up in its arms while the other cleared a path back outside, suddenly part of the roof gave way around the front door and destroyed one of the clones, the four remaining clones and the women were now trapped inside, Zag ran around the house looking for another way for them to escape, a lounge room near the back had been found by one of the clones still alive, the original had a look at it from the outside, it was close to braking point but its large window was the safest place, the two accompaning the woman weaved through the burning house trying to get the the exit as fast as possible, the rain pouring in through the gaping wounds of the houses roof made the ground slick and slippery, suddenly an explosion came up out of the shacks basement, the hot water system had combusted from the heat, the force was enough to destroy a hallway and kill two of the last clones, the only one left was the one carrying the woman and was now trapped in the burning wrecks center.

Horrified, Zag had to do something, the ran through the fiery window and into the smoke filled hell, he coughed as the burning remains of a family house filled his lungs and stung his eyes, he could see and feel what was happening around the last clone but only had a vague idea of where to find him, he wandered through the glowing house, now thinking about how stupid it was to jump into the house instead of making more clones, both he and the last clone cenverged to where they hoped the middle of the house was where the original could take the woman outside the house, falling bits roof tile constantly bombarded them both, Zag began to feel dizzy from the lack of oxegen in the air, he started walking blindly through the burning house, his sense of direction gone and eyes to hurting to keep open long, then, when he turned a random corner, he suddenly found himself staring into an equally exhasted mirror image of himself carrying a mid-thirties aged woman, immediatly Zag sobered up and realised how badly he needed to get himself and her out of the house, he took the woman in his arms and the clone took his dai shuriken and held it above them like an umbrella, then they immediatly started towards where he hoped the window still was.

They made it to the lounge room, but another collapse had destroyed the way out, desperate for a way out zag thought of a plan 'Do or die.' he thought, bringing his hands as close as possible while the clone used a free hand to pull out one of his d weapon scrolls, zag performed a series of rushed handseals as best he could while carrying a woman twice his age in his arms, in a raspy voice he said "Scroll grenade.", Zag transfered some charka into the scroll and the clone through it to the other side of the room before dissolving back into mud, Zag crouched behind the only intact piece of furniture and all the seals in the scroll activated at the same time and explosivly sent kunai everywhere, knowing that he had done enough damage to bring this part of the house down Zag made a run for it, the woman in his arms stirring as she started regaining conciousness, he heard the wooden beams that used to hold up the walls splinter and break and he ran through the burning room and out a gaping hole and into the cold fresh air, he carried the woman over to the other survivers and then looked around for his team, he could see Kouga but not Kazuya 'Oh hell.' he thought 'He's still in the house.'

Kazuya would come forth from his location quickly, having searched the house throughly and having pulled Kouga from his plight. How he had found Kouga would be explained at a later time, they had to get the wounded treated fast. With one loud shout he would scream over the flames as he made himself very clear. "I shall finish up here. Take the victims to the village and get them treated, then report to the forest outside the gates." he commanded with a smile as he turned, his cloak fluttering cooly as he did so. "I can handle this, you'll still get the mission on your record." and with that he would vanish from sight, they would not be able to find him amongst the flames of the next burning building.

[Shikaku]

After releasing the man on the field of grass, Kouga fell down to one knee and began to cough a lot, as some smoke had gotten into his lungs. After a brief moment of regaining and recovering his breath, Kouga got up with Haimaru by his side, he discovered that Kazuya had suddenly appeared next to him. Telling Kouga and Zag to take the wounded to get medical help as well as the fact that this mission will still get recored. Kazuya asked Kouga and Zag to go report to the forest outside the gate. Following his sensei's orders, Kouga carried the man on his back once again and ran back to the forest, headed to the outside of the gate with Haimari trailing him from behind. After a brief moment, Kouga and Haimaru left the gate and headed to the chuunin pre exams.
