Mare would be seen moving through the trees with utmost stealth. He had to gaurd the borders of Ame and Kusa, and stop any activity that he might think that is out of the norm. "I need to hurry up... The Chuunin Preperation test is today" he said with a sigh. He would jump from branch to branch as his hazle eyes were scanning the landscape... he was looking for anything that could be out of place... anything that seems like some criminal acitivity was going on.

An old man could be seen traveling up the road ahead... and he was carrying some logs. "Hmm... he souldn't be out here alone... or carrying that weight" Mare said to himself with a sigh. He then jumped down infront of the man, and said with a smile "Hey there... I'm a shinobi from Ame and I'll be more than happy to carry those logs for you...". The face of the old man lit up in excitement "Thank you youngnin'... I wish more kids were as kind and thought as you are" he said with a smile as he handed over the logs to Mare.

Mare then took the logs from the old man and started to walk down the road with him. "Soo... what are these logs are for... and where are you going" the boy said with a smile to the old man. "Oh... those logs you are carrying there are for firewood... and I'm going to my hut right down the road here... it is not a far trip boy" he said with a smile on his face. Mare was doing something for his mission... protecting a noble citizen of Ame.

Then up ahead a small shack could be seen. "So... this is your house" the boy said. "Yup... it sure is kiddo" the old man said with a smile. Mare then ran up towards the shack and placed the logs in a big pile by the old man's house. "Here you go..." he said with a smile as he ran off into the distance. "Thank you" Mare can here behind him... it was the old man giving his thanks to the boy for all of his hard work.

Then a large sound could be heard above in the sky. "Damnit..." the boy whispered... he knew that it was about to pour soon. Then he felt the gentle raindrops hit his face... and pretty soon the rest of his body. "I need to finish this mission fast, and if I don't than I'll be soaked and miss the preperation exams" he said with a sigh. He would then pull out a kunai from his belt... he was getting closer to Kusa territory... he wouldn't be in his home turf.

Then he could smell the fresh auroma of flowers and freshly cut grass. "I guess I'm getting closer... closer to Kusa no Kuni" he said with a smile, it would be only a matter of time until he sees the borders himself. He then decided to stop for a moment... and jumped up to the canapies of the trees to see the fields of Kusa, and how far he was from the fields. It was a lot colder up here... and he knew that some giant birds might think he is a tasty treat.

He would then toss his brown hair out of his eyes... and his hazle eyes would peer off into the distance. It seemed that he was not too far off from the fields of Kusa... maybe another mile or so, a pretty easy run for a shinobi like himself. "I'm almost there... and no criminal activity so far..." he said with a smile as he descended down to the lower branches. He would then start hopping from branch to branch, getting closer and closer to his destination.

Then his hazle eyes would blink... there was an opening in the trees up ahead. He swiftly ran through them... and infront of him were these beatiful fields of flowers and grass. Then he could feel something else... the rain... it was beging to stop. "I guess this is were Kusa starts... in this drastic change of the ecosystem" he said with a feint smile. This was an exotic county to him, but he soon realized that he wasn't here to relax... he was here on a mission, and he needed to finish this one quickly.

Mare's eyes would scan the fields of flowers and various grass'. He was looking for any rouge ninja activity... or any signs that Ame's allies were planning to stab them in the back. He would take some small breaths... and then close his eyes. His ears would be a better help on this mission. He would than feel the chakra build up in his chest... and he would send it up towards his ears. They would tingle with the sensation of the chakra within them.

He then slowly raised his hands to his sides... and extended them forward. He would then start to form a string of handseals in almost a second... and then finish them up with the boar handseal. He could feel the chakra then sending out of his ears... and then he could hear anyting around him. Then a picture was placed in his closed ears do to the super ears he now had. It was so vivid, and clear... he could see everything around him.

His ears would tingle abit... and a few objects would be picked up by his jutsu, but they were nothing special. Most of the time it was just some foxes or coyotes hunting mice in the grass, or a few deer here and there. He then released the handseal... and took a deep sigh. He was kinda dissapointed that nothing exciting happened during this mission. This was nothing like the good ol'days when he fought the Resistance... but I guess he could wait until Syoara was in power.

He then turned around and ran back to the village. He needed to get his reward quickly if he wanted to get to the event in time. "Come on Mare... you need to hurry" he whispered to himself as he ran faster and faster. He could feel the rain drops beat on his head... with every stride he took in Ame Country... the rain was getting harder and harder. Pretty soon he would sport the gates of the village... he had finish his mission and he knew that he compleated it in pretty good time too.
