The Great Charade~! (Travel)

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Self Deafening
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user temporarily deafens their ears.
Special: Dragon
Drawback: Cannot be undone until time has expired. Cannot be used on others.
Description: In performing the said hand seal, the user focuses charka to their own eardrums and creates a thick layer over them. In doing so, the user becomes temporarily deaf and incapable of hearing sounds what so ever. This layer of charka however may not be canceled by will, and the user must wait for the duration of the jutsu for it to end. The effects of such a jutsu last only two posts due to the weak strength of it, however it is completely effective at making the user deaf.
Limit: Must have Sound Release

Literally running out the entrance of Moyoushi, the President-Elect was garbed within a black kimono. Performing the Dragon handseal she'd begin to focus her chakra on a necessary jutsu. Her circulatory system was ablaze; the moulding necessary for the sound chakra was present. It began with her focusing on the vibration of her chakra. Ringing quickly and crawling to a slow. The effect started at the center of her body and then began to seep through her system.

Her eyes summoned the Scarlet gaze allowing her to observing her surroundings in clear clarity, though it wasn't used in order to learn this simple jutsu. Moving through the land, she'd follow a dirt road that lead to the countryside. With each step she could feel her cerebral pounding. The vibrations of the chakra began to emit a loud piercing sound. Essentially her inner ear was acting as a tuning fork. Rining back and forth as other vibrations amongst the ear were clashing.

It started with louder sounds being muffled. Splashes of water were becoming faint drops. The sound of her footsteps were already muted entirely as she ran along the shoreline. Her goal was simply to move along the western fornt so that she could proceed to the Land of Wind. Mikuru wasn't the type to wait up. Her try-out participants needed to act with skill and grace. Essentially keeping track of her running to Bear was apart of the test.

Soon the chilling wind that moved along this part of the land was lost. Her ears were vibrating with sound chakra, blocking out any vibrations from sounds present. It was a good thing the crimson eyes were coursing through her sockets. She was able to determine the closeness of the port. Though no sooner would be it become visible. Making a well executed feint, she'd proceed to dock at a different area.

The boatsman was comissioned to move on the double. Soon it'd be sailing towards the Land of Wind and all it's sandy dunes.

Furattohitofushi no Jutsu (Flat Note Art)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Whilst playing a musical instrument, a flat note is played when the musician is struck, producing an affect akin to the "Substitution Jutsu".
Special: A flat (b) note must be played in an already begun song.
Drawback: A song must be in progress for the use of this Jutsu. It also forces the song to be erred, meaning that concentration is needed to hold any affects (though it may be broken if this is used to escape). It also uses about twice as much Chakra as the normal "Substitution Jutsu" does.
Description: While playing a song, in order to avoid an oncoming attack, a flat note can be played and this Jutsu activated, leaving behind a usually inanimate object and a puff of smoke.
Limit: Sound Release, Another Song Art

In order to get into the mind of a musician, one needed to better understand the tools they had at their disposal. Though she chalked this one up to luck, a musician had recently taught her the skills needed to defend oneself with music. She had used this "power" in order to defend herself from a derranged boy in River country after all. Thus she withdrew her Mateki and began to play a simple tune. Her eyes looked ahead as she took note of the sandy dunes. This country had a landscape carved out by the very sands. No matter where she looked this was the case.

Was Heero Kazume really a citizen of this nation? If so, just what sort of village did he live in. He did mention that it was hidden within the land of wind. It made her think about the renown Shinobi nation that was present here. "Sunagakure..." She had received a gift from Takeda last year from just such a ninja. As she pondered more onto the situation she accidentally hit a flat note. Her chakra disrupting the song entirely. She questioned this mistake, though her body didn't feel the same way. At the time, she was so lost in thought that no specific area came to mind.

She began to play her music once more, this time eyeing a particularly large dune to her right. The song was War of Evil Men. The tune caused many to become serene as it began to trap them within their inner world. Just as she was about to reach the climax of the song, she pretended someone was attacking her from behind. She hit a flate note and no sooner did her chakra project her towards the dune in question. It would seem that she had discovered a very useful accident. Her quest as a muscian had only just begun but even now she could feel herself understanding the case better.

Thinking about the new jutsu, she began to practice the song once more. The tune required immense concentration and likewise she had to carefully play each note. Anticipation was certainly heightened in this state of awareness. It resulted in her chakra consistently molding itself to the sound element. Clashing vibrations moved through her tenketsu, ready to propel her to a destination for an otherwise quick escape. Could they have used this very jutsu to escape from Tonka's guard?

The possibility was certainly clear, yet there was so much more to this than met the eye. It was these thoughts that allowed the adolescent Akumu to approach the land of Bears. The dunes became smaller and smaller. The landscape became barren...lacking the rich sands of previously. Up ahead she could see some lush terrain. This was her sign of crossing the border, soon she'd be within Bear Country.

On scene! Well almost, Mikuru had a goal now...she needed to investigate "The Five" and see what was happening. For the purposes of this mission, she'd be heading towards the capital of bear country.

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

On the road! The adventures of the Great Charade were finally over and now the President-Elect had to return home. The City needed their new president in order to continue their growth into the new era. An era she wanted to behold with her own eyes. With all her possesions set and even a little extra carried in tow, the young Uchiha would travel homeward bound. The first goal was to cross into the dunes of Kaze no Kuni. Th heat alone would be the real test in this travel as once the ocean was found; it'd be a simple boat ride back to Kawa no Kuni.

Moving through the lush terrain of the Land of Bears, Mikuru became cautious. The creature whom this land had as a namesake was indeed plentiful in numbers. Surely one such creature could be lurking within the forests of this land? In these situations it was best to take the high road. Springing from branch to branch, once a suitable height was achieved she'd proceed to rush towards the sandy region. The safe haven of the borders between these nations would be a small blessing in fear of having to encounter any bears. Not because she couldn't defeat a bear but because carrying a hostage and all the items on her person was indeed enough of a toll.

Just in the nick of time, perhaps it was just fatigue or a play on th eye but Mikuru was almost sure she saw a Bear! Well, it didn't matter now; her soles pressed against the grains of sand indicating the wretched landscape of wind. Wether it was the heat or the extremely humid breeze being sent across her visage, this place was just not worth her time. Sticking to the off-roads, she'd be moving along the outskirts of this vast nation. The heat itself wasn't so bad towards the coast thankfully.

"Alright, I just need to find the docks which had routes moving to River...where was it?" she mused as she glanced back and forth. Veering right she proceeded to move up an escalated terrain. The weight of the diva she was carrying was taking some effect on her, but through will power alone she gritted her teeth and prevailed on the journey. Oh if she could kill this hostage right here and now...but that would ruin the fun. No, instead Mikuru would tightly grasp onto the songstress' form as she climbed to the top. Catching a glimpse into the horizon, she took note of the ocean.

"Finally..." she muttered aloud as she proceeded to skidd down the dune.

Once she made her way to the docks, she'd comission a boatsman. "Let's make this swift shall we?" she'd ask the young man, flaunting a quick wink despite the grave tone in her voice.

At long last the President-Elect was finally in the country. Inhaling the fresh air of this mysterious land, she now proceeded to walk the road of many citizens, the path towards Moyoushi City. Yes with each step she took, she felt herself shedding off the skin of an elect President...to a President which was ready to take office.
