| A few days later after their squad formed Team Kazuki was handed their first mission and a hefty one it was. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Escorts are fun but not this kind. ____________________________ Mission Type: Escort Village: Iwagakure + Konohagakure Specific Request: SP Reward: 120sp Bonus SP Reward: ??? Difficulty: A-Rank Normal (++) __________________________ Objective: Escort the Iwagakuran nobleman from Konoha to the earth border. A simple task were it not for the fact a bounty is on the mans head so caution is advised as ninja activity is expected. __________________________ NPC Control: Haissem Participants: Havoc (Haissem), Kensei (Psynergi) __________________________________________________________________ They team members were to meet at Konoha's main gate and wait for the arrival of the nobleman's carriage so that they can start the escort. Both Havoc and Kensei had been notified in their briefing that this was a promotion mission for both of them. Havoc to Jounin and Kensei to Special Jounin. Not wanting to screw it up Havoc had arrived early so as not to be late but only arriving just in time to beat Kazuki there by a hair. "Early morning I see Havoc, that's unusual" Havoc glared at Kazuki, despite being an important mission mornings were still not Havoc's thing. |

| It would be another hour before Kensei showed up. Fully knowing the time, there was something he had to finish first. When he finally showed, he was filthy from working the workshop and his hair was a mess. A closer look would reveal he had even left home forgetting to put a sock on his healthy foot. Apart from this however, little seemed different as he approached. "Sorry about the wait, i lost track of time" He said apologetically, and turned his gaze towards the gate itself. "Been a while since i was outside the village, not since.. Well, its a story for another time.." He said, clutching the base of his leg-brace. It was clear he would not further into it at this point, but something had happened on his last trip outside the village. |

| Kensei had barely been there a minute when a carriage pulled by two very large wombat; dire wombats lets say. As the carriage rolled to a stop the door creaked open in front of the party to reveal their client sitting within. ???: "I trust you will protect me well, I payed enough coin for you." Not even waiting a response the door creaked closed again leaving an eerie feeling in the air, doors don't creak like that ...... twice. Kuzuki is the first to regain his composure, not that it needed composing as it barely slipped, and speaks up. "Ok move out, lets get this thing rolling." He slaps the side of the carriage to get it rolling and the group set off to leave Konoha. The carriage rolls at a steady walking past, the dire womabt showing no signs of tiring as they already advance a half day into their journey. Havoc getting sick of walking all this time turns and makes a joke to Kensei, though he makes sure to speak loud enough so Kuzuki can here. "So do we get lunch or do we walk non-stop the entire mission?" |

| Kenseis mind was still reeling from the mere existance of Dire Wombats. It made his head spin until the mention of food triggered Kenseis priorities. "Food, mm, yes~" He muffled, almost drooling already. From his vantage point, sitting atop the carriage at the very back facing backwards, he dangled his legs from the edge. There was something oddly fulfilling about simply swinging his legs back and forth in this suspended pendulum-like state, and especially pleasing for his broken leg which seemed to gently stretch a bit with each swing like a slow internal massage of his sore bones. "Ill eat just about anything, as long as it isnt green" He noted after wiping the drool from the corners of his mouth. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| Kuzuki throws a small pouch to each of them which Havoc catches easily. K: "There eat and be quiet, we're guarding remember." Havoc grumbles and opens the pouch revealing a small assortment of nuts. If this was lunch he was glad he hadn't asked for morning tea and by that logic afternoon snacks were also out of the question. By this time of day they were still traveling through the lush forests of Konoha but shortly they would be entering another country where the forests disappear to be replaced with rolling hills and valleys, there it would be much harder to be ambushed so until then everyone was on high alert. |
"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| Kensei nearly tipped himself off of the side of the cart catching the pouch, but narrowingly saved himself from falling off. The nuts actually made him smile, it was something he loved from childhood and which he hadnt had a chance to enjoy in quite a lot of years. After munching up the entire pounch in a manner of minutes, his face however showed a depression rolling in. He let out a heavy sigh and mumbled. "I guess tastes change.." He leaned back in a relaxed manner to gaze at the clouds, perhaps a bit too relaxed considering they were on a mission. But amongst friends, Kensei lowered his guard and felt natural in doing so. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| Everyone was completely unaware to what was going on, all bar one .... Kensei. His relaxing lay on his back is actually what gave him the best view of the incoming ambush to which everyone else was completely unaware. It was not what he saw but rather what was interrupting his view of the clouds. Every time the sky was visible through the trees it blurred as if an invisible shape was moving from tree to tree but not fast, almost as if it were moving with the carriage or rather ... stalking the carriage. Kensei had only seen this occurrence directly above him but he could notice leaves ruffling in no wind further across the canopy though could not even try to guess at how many other things could be in the trees. judging by how comfortable this shape felt moving slowly with the carriage Kensei could determine it had been following them for quite some time. |
"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| He sat up a bit and squinted to make sure he wasnt seeing things. When he had, he tossed the empty nut-pouch at the back of Havocs head. As he turned, Kensei would point up without actually saying a word. After allowing Havoc a second to spot the anomaly himself, Kensei pointed at Kuzuki indicating that they should notify him. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| As the pouch hits Havoc he whirls around ready to hurl his right back but stops when he sees Kensei pointing upwards. It takes a while, Havoc almost tripping over tree roots as he is no longer looking where he is walking, but he finally notices the glimmer of the 'invisible' shape. Havoc sees Kensei pointing to Kuzuki and Havoc thinks for a second before crouching low and yelling, "Kuzuki!!!" As he launches up into the air timing a perfect uppercut with the shapes movement. He felt the punch connect as the air rippled abd colour appeared where there had been none before, a ninja clad entirely in skin-tight black clothing was sent flying into the air before falling back down with a hefty thump, Havoc landing on the ground next to him. "Now mr sneaky, why were you following us?" K: "Havoc you idiot" Havoc oblivious to the situation looked up to see the carriage had come to a halt and they were now surrounded by 20 of the same looking ninja. K: "surely you knew there were more than one?" H: "....... maybe?" The enemy ninja had dropped out of the trees like a swarm of locust as Havoc was performing his uppercut. Kensei was in the most advantageous position being above and way from the circle of ninja though against there numbers a squad of three can't be expected to do much can they? |
"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| "Who invited these guys!?" Kensei blurted in an effort to steel his own nerves. The thrill of battle always had his blood boiling inside, and as he saw the encirclement of the enemy he realized any action he took would have to be swift and without any downtime. Attack one, another might strike him in the back, or so he thought. He rolled out one of his scrolls and with a poof of smoke, Igor leapt onto the edge of the carriage like some sort of ape staring down at enemy ninjas. He had gotten a much better handle on Igors movements, and could now control him with only his left hand, leaving his right hand free for whatever he might need. For the moment, a Kunai sufficed to make use of the free hand, but he had grander plans for it later down the road. With Igor defending one side of the carriage, and himself facing the other with the Kunai ready, he tried to steel himself for the impending assault. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| After seeing Kensei summon Igor Havoc smiled as he knew just what to do; be a distraction. A nice big spiky distraction. Havoc flung his cloak wide to reveal he was not wearing a shirt underneath and slapped a hand against his tattoo and smiled widely as he bellowed. "Razor Armor!" Like the many times before earth slipped around Havoc as crystal grew from it to become his favored razor armour. He turned and leapt at the ninja that Kensei was facing planning to just plain old barrel into them and see what happens. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kuzuki slapped his face as Havoc leapt blindly into battle but after quickly assessing the situation took a back seat on the fight and decided to stay out of it for now. The enemy ninja reacted quickly as if they had done this a thousand times easily revealing their experience. They split into two squads, 10 on each side of the carriage as they recovered their comrade; havoc and kensei staring down one side with Igor on the other. Surprisingly though they did not overwhelm them with numbers but 5 on each side jumped back and began to weave hand signs in unison. The reaming front lines on both side charged forward. Two were knocked flat by Havoc in his razor armour, their clothes being shredded as they came into contact with his armour. The remaining three thinking quickly and pulling Kunai to block Havoc's wild swings. On Igor's side the enemy front line wasnt sure what to make of the strange puppet but charged anyway, taking a V formation as the leader leapt forward drawing a long blade obviously aiming to cut the puppet in two.

| The blade of the leader ninja charging igor never found its mark, rather its mark found it. Finally, after wagging retardedly around on his short feet for weeks, being tossed in battle, and generally being useless, Igor strength became appearent. His powerful arms grabbed and redirected the blade with great speed and force for a puppet, who lifted off the ground and swung around beneath the blade like a monkey in the blink of an eye. Using this momentum, a twitch of Kenseis index finger had Igor slam its boxing-glove sized fist into the poor mans lower jaw from below. The man couldnt possibly have much teeth, or conciousness after such a blow, and Kensei pulled Igor back to the cart in time for the arrival of the remaining 4. Igors arms were spread out wide, their full length almost as long as the rest of his body combined, ready to repeat the move on any of the approaching ninja. Kenseis main attention was set on the ones who had pulled back. He was a rear-line fighter himself and knew to watch out for them. He couldnt weave any series of handsigns while still controlling Igor, so he settled for a single one. The strings connecting Igor to Kenseis hand thickened to the point where they were visible to the naked eye, and in his other hand, the 5 strings coming from each of his fingers were spinning wildly around eachother. Weaving themselves into a thick rope of 5 interwoven chakra strings, Kensei completed the technique by raising his hand and sending the strings out from him like a whip. At the end of the strike, the strings tightened their weave, and the chakra-whip was complete. (Whiptail Technique - 10cp Remaining = 30cp= |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| The wind stirs as the back line ninjas finish their hand signs as they announce in unison. "Wind Release: Wind Wall" A tornado like gust of wind whips up out of nowhere and encircles the entire area surrounding the carriage trapping everyone inside the swirling wall of wind. The back line ninjas dont move however as they keep the last hand sign held as if holding the wall in place. The four remaining ninja on Igor's side continue their charge and attack as one as they fan out and tackle Igor at the same time aiming to use two nin on each arm to pin him down before they would systematically ripping the puppet apart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Havoc leaps forward reaching his arms out on each side aiming to grab a nin in each hand however they moved out of the way easily but not as quick as they would have liked as Havoc grabs the kunais they had used to block as he smiles and his mask cracks open to revealing his tongue lolling out of his mouth as the rune glows red with fire nature chakra. "Fire Release: Great Fireball" The fireball explodes from Havoc's mouth towards the center nin who tries to block it with the kunai and is thrown backwards into the wind wall where he is sucked into the vortex never to be seen again.

| The movement from the four nin behind him spurred Kensei to turn around and divert his attention there for a moment. Igor was strong but not 4 grown men-strong, And Kensei aimed to even the score a bit as he slapped the business end of his whiptail technique around the nexk of the nin furthest to the right out of the 4. He tried to weave handsigns for some technique but it was of little use, the Whiptail string was pumping his body full of Kenseis own chakra, which was creating an internal conflict in his chakra system. Like stacks of cars entering a roadcross at the same time, no matter how much chakra he tried to push through his system, Kenseis was there interfering. Kensei could see the look on his eyes saying "impossible" as he couldnt speak with words, and Kenseis immediate thought was "Oh its possible alright, in fact its quite simple~" But the purpose of this move was neither really to stop the nins movements or stop him from weaving, it was to provide Igor with a battle-arena, or a shred of one. Immediately the puppet grabbed the string and used it to swing and build momentum. The approaching nin tried to get in a few strikes, but Igors agility when swinging from his arms was something only the animal kingdom wouldve been able to replicate. With each swing a strike came back at them in return aswell, while the final nin struggled against the string. It took only a couple of seconds to pound the remaining three into submission, Igor had the upper hand massively with this setup after all. But as the last of the free nin hit the ground behind the cart, the fourth one broke free from his bindings. Immediately the puppet jumped him, and latched its powerful arms around his chest like a monstrous backpack. The nin once again struggled to get it off, but the struggle only lasted a moment. If there was a sensory nin amongst them, the sensation of electrical chakra being molded filled the air. The strings connecting Kensei to Igor started to spark up. "Lightening Style: Wave of Inspiration" He said with a cocky smile, the thrill of battle having gone pretty much to his head at this point, and lit up the strings with arcing electricity which torched the nin alive. Kensei kept the charge going for several seconds, demonstrating a better control and a stronger voltage then during his and havocs battle. From being slightly annoying and a little bit disturbing for havoc, this nin was now completely unable to move and losing his life by the second. But surprisingly, or perhaps luckily, Kensei didnt have the "oomph" to finish the job. The charge died out before the nin drew his last breath, however his conciousness was all but fried. When Igor let go, the unconcous nin was left standing stiff like a pole from locked muscles, and it would be several seconds before he started toppling over on the ground. Kensei looked briefly on the remaining nin on his side, all of them still weaving the windwall sign, before turning to see if havoc needed help. What he saw however made him smile, and a slight chuckle exploded from his mouth before he got a hold of himself. He figured the concept of havoc needing help was something he shouldnt entertain, being the weakest of the duo he figured he should look after himself more. He did however proceed to hive Havoc two thumbs up, like an idiot, in the middle of battle. (Wave of inspiration - 5cp Whiptail Chakra Flooding - 10cp x1 post Remaining = 15cp) |

| Miu stood in the sky above the road, over a kilometer away from the fighting. All senses turned outward to the wind to glean information from the approaching troop and it's attackers. (Miu time skip appearance update) Her eyesight was not bad, but it failed her when compared with the range of her weapon. She opened the locket around her neck and the feather inside fell down into her outstretched hand where it morphed into a bow, covered in glossy black feathers. The original intention had been to wait until the convoy passed directly below her before firing for the best chance of success, but the attackers had ruined that. Though they did distract the guards. She took her stance, left foot going forward, pointed at her target, right foot back, anchoring her weight, and she drew the bow until the string rested on her cheek where she held it. The battle around the carriage raged on. A wind wall was put up by one of the ninja defending, and although this would negate any kind of normal projectile attack, it simply made her smile. Wind could not stop her. Breathe in A deep breath, and one last gleam of wind to guide her aim. Eyes never leaving the target, never blinking, looking for the kill. The chakra arrow swirled restlessly trapped in stasis between her fingers. She opened up a jet stream in front of the bow to fire through and held her form. Breathe out Miu sighed and let the string drop from her fingers and the shot left with a whistle and small ripple of wind. - Kensei/Havoc - Over the sound of battle and the raging wind wall you can hear a faint whistling sound - just before the carriage is hit by something. The front half explodes torn asunder by a sphere of compressed air that blinks out of existence as quickly as it appeared. (Starting - 95cp Jet Stream - 10cp Whispering Veil -5cp Remaining = 80cp) |

| A shrill whistle could be heard over the roar of the wind and battle and Havoc lifted his head as the front half and most of the roof of the carriage exploded in sphere of wind sending debris flying. Debris smacked him in the back and knocking him forward into the two remaining front line nin on his side. He quickly grabs each ones shirt and with a mighty step forwards hurls them into the wind wall and snaps his head to look at the back line casters. "What the hell did you's do?! I know you are wind ninja so don't deny it!" __________________________________________________________________ Kuzuki seemed to be the only member on point as he leapt into the wreckage and pulled out the screaming nobleman.

| The sound gave Kensei only a moment of advance notice, but it was enough for him to tip himself over the edge of the cart before everything went boom. The flying splinters of wood severed Kenseis chakra strings, and Igor fell limp to the ground a distance away. "What the hell are you transporting in there, explosive tags??" He blurted, before rolling beneath the remains of the cart for protection, extending his strings towards Igor to regain his combat potential. His blood was boiling for real now, his very skin itching with the thrill of battle. |

| Miu scolded herself when the first shot failed. Though it did expose the target as one of his henchmen pulled him out of the carriage. There was still time to strike, before the confusion wore off, before she had to move. Raising the bow again to fire at her now exposed mark she plucked the string three times in quick succession. Needing to change her position now that she had definately given it away Miu began to circle around to the left, dropping lower to the horizon to lessen the chance of someone spotting her movement. The three arrows arrived without warning this time, each shot barely charged but still with enough force to engulf a man's head if shot between the eyes. That same spherical annihilation that tore the carriage open. (Upkeep -5cp Remaining - 75cp) |

| "Havoc! Guard me!" Kuzuki's voice rang loud over the battle as if he had amplified his voice somehow. Without thinking or questioning Kuzuki Havoc activated his earth grip runes as he arms grew into massive mud arms rapidly and encased Kuzuki and the nobleman in solid earth grip; the mud setting instantly as soon as they were covered. This first arrow had almost made its target but was caught as the mud set with the arrow tip mere inches away from the noblemans face. The following two arrows impacted upon the earth grip, the spherical explosions of wind removing chunks of earth from the defense but not breaking through. Havoc had seen it this time; it wasn't the ninja but an outside force. "Kensei! Archer!" With all the melee ninja now down and out, only the wind wall ninja were left standing. Havoc broke off the earth arms leaving Kuzuki and the nobleman encased in earth as he turned to face the 5 nin on his side maintaining the wind wall. "Guess its time to tear down this wall."

| "On it!" Kensei rolled out from under the remains of the cart, summoning scroll already out. As he exited, it was almost like he used his own roll to whip the scroll open, and the Twins popped into existance hovering in the air above him. A large gesture with both hands sent the puppet-hummingbirds buzzing towards the skies, as they did, their strings became visible as Kensei ran electricity through them. They spun upwards opposite of eachother in a double-helix spiral until they reached Kenseis maximum string-range, and locked in place as Kensei performed a series of 7 handseals and steeled himself. "This is gonna hurt, for both of us.." He said, as the electric charge built to the point where his muscles tensed up in his body. "Lightening style: Electromagnetic Induction Technique!" As he called out, the charge left his body and lit the strings and the twin humminbirds up like christmas lights. A low electric hum filled the air, and the airborne nin would feel anything metal on them start pulling them towards ground with considerable force. Kensei nearly bit his own tongue off in an effort to stave the pain of sustaining such a large charge, but this was the first time anyone had given him any sort of responsibility. As such, he was utterly unwilling to fail, and kept up the charge despite the tips of his hair beginning to melt and curl back. (EMI-Technique -15cp Remaining = 0cp) |

| It was no use. The guards were not as incompetent as she had hoped. After the first shot missed, it seemed there would not be another opening. Yet. Miu finally recognized a puppet master, right before his technique finished. A little intel would have been nice brother... I am running your errands for you... She had left her headband at home, out of concerns for anonymity since she was not on village business. But her necklace was made of silver. Her body took a hard jerk down at her neck, forcing her to land and regain balance. Even on the ground it was too hard to stand, so she dropped onto one knee. Forced to land, there was no longer any clear shot at the mark, or at anyone on the ground. She scrambled to undo her necklace, it fell to the earth and dug into the ground, compelled. It was enough to let her breath again, but her clothes we laced with precious metals and still felt heavy. Too heavy to stand. Stupid Saito and his avarice! The puppets were causing this. She had to deal with them first It took a moment to lift her head up to the sky and take aim at the hummingbirds. A single shot was fired, slow and precise. (Upkeep -5cp Remaining -70cp) |

| As Kensei activated his technique kunais shuddered in their holders on the pants of the ninja's maintaining the wind wall. The rustling kunais kept building until suddenly the magnetism pulled them to the ground pulling all 10 of the ninjas pants with them. As if instinctual all the ninja cancelled their technique and reached for their pants that were down around their ankles before they could even react. Havoc smiled, Kensei's technique sure was interesting. Not wanting to pass up the moment Havoc leapt into action and side stepped and lined the 5 ninja up on his side so they were standing in a nice neat row. "Iwagakure Dust Devil!" Havoc leapt high into the air as if beginning a dynamic entry but started to rapidly spin becoming a mass of spinning, razor sharp crystal as he hurtled down the line of ninja knocking them all aside with cuts and lacerations covering their now bare bodies as their clothes were ruined; sadly most were male. Havoc lands with a slide almost as if he is striking a pose and turns to see how the rest of the group is going. Mysteriously the 5 ninja on the other side had disappeared their pants left on the ground locked in place by the kunai with bushes rustling in the distance. |

| Kensei was about to reach his limit on the EMI-technique when one of the twins burst apart. The arrow had struck it while Kensei was pre-occupied, and came fast enough that even had he spotted it he wouldve been hard pressed to get the puppet out of the way. The enemy did probably did not realize the gravity of what he/she had done, but this was the greatest risk with this technique and the absolute worst case scenario. With the puppet gone, the Coil was incomplete and the circuit broken. Like the spark-gap in his workshop, the charge built up in the remaining humminbird until it became so violent that the charge jumped from the functional bird to the remains of the ruined one falling towards the ground. The resulting feedback hit Kenseis body like a natural lightening bolt. His vision went black and he couldnt even scream, or breathe. The zap was over in just a blink of an eye, but the effects of it took considerably longer. The muscles in kenseis body was twitching and yerking as his brain scrambled to regain the electrical equilibrium in his body. His eyes saw nothing but stars as he slowly came back to conciousness, and started drawing breath again with a brutal gasp like someone brought back from the brink of death with CPR. "GHA-GODFUCK THAT HURTS!!!" He roared out like a beast in a death-struggle, which was the first time Kensei had cursed for real around any other human. As his vision slowly came back and his muscular control returning bit by bit, he pulled his arm to his chest and grasped an Orange scroll with a wooden seal on it as opposed to paper. While trying to find his way back to conciousness fully, he clutched the scroll like his life depended on it. (EMI-feedback renders Kensei unable to charge chakra for 2 posts Remaining cp =0) |

| Miu was relieved when the puppet was hit and she was able to stand up straight again. Seeing the rather spectacular aftermath was satisfying, one of her first real victories in battle, however minor. Though it looked as if the puppet master was having a poor time. He fell to the ground as if struck by lightning and did not stir. This caused Miu a twinge of guilt, he was just a guard, nothing to do with her mission. Sorry... That looked really painful No longer at vantage in the air Miu decided that since the distractions had run away without their pants, covert tactics were over. It was time to finish the job, properly, and that meant getting close enough to see things. The jet stream that had been hovering in front of her bow expanded into a portal of howling wind. She aimed her bow into the space above the remnants of the carriage and the portal tilted with it. She detached the jet stream from her bow and took a deep breath while it hovered in the air, she took a step back to get a running start and then leaped through the threshold. The wind inside forcing her body to match it's velocity and sending her soaring into the distance. --- Miu appeared above the carriage with a loud 'pop' and a buffet of wind. She drew her bow, aimed at the earthen "cover" but stopped short of firing. "Havoc?" (Upkeep -5 Jet Stream Ended* Remaining - 65) |

| A 'pop' alerted Havoc as he turned and looked to the top of the broken carriage and saw Miu floating in the air. "Havoc? "Miu? What are you doing here?" It took him a second or two but he slowly pieced it together. Wind explosions, arrows so fast they could barely be heard due to a jet stream and finally Miu herself. "Your the sniper? Why? We're on an official mission to protect this man." He could barely believe it but surely Miu had her reasons. ___________________________________________________ Kuzuki and nobleman still huddling under the rock covering. |

| "Ugh.." Kensei groaned as he rolled over on his stomach, propping himself up with his elbows still heaving for air. "That was.. way worse then the first time, good god.." The experimental EMI-technique had some potential for sure, but Kensei lacked two things to make it practical. For one, the voltage to produce some serious magnetic forces. And secondly, the finecontrol to cut the charge if the circuit is broken like this time. He descided to shelf the technique for now, figuring it was one best mastered at a later time. He looked over at Havoc who seemed to know the sniper. And with a closer look, surely she looked familiar indeed. He didnt know what came next, and havoc seemed pretty spent himself. With an uncertain outcome, he descided to try and charge his chakra. Not just for potential jutsu, but also simply to combat the fatigue of battle. To his surprise, it seemed to work.

| Miu? What are you doing here?" It really is him "Your the sniper? Why? We're on an official mission to protect this man." "Unofficial mission. Top secret. Hush hush," she put a finger to her lips and made a 'shooshing' sound at him, "I think the real question here is, why are you protecting him?" Miu leaned forward to aim down at the rock covering her mark and readied a shot. "We can talk later, just let me finish this up first," she told Havoc. A halo of air appeared in front of the bow to fire through, followed by another and then three more in succession. Each a different size and a different speed. The arrow was launched, piercing through all five gates and multiplying it's power as it broke each halo and absorbed it's velocity. A streaking white line fired from the bow, the shot travelling so fast it blurred into a single stream and thundering a sonic boom from the origin point of Miu that rippled out above the battleground. Instead of the visceral explosion into a sphere from earlier, a vortex rose in the shape of a pillar when the shot landed, that lanced into the sky and engulfed Miu completely.

When we were together you were against killing and now this?" Havoc jumps to the only conclusion that makes sense to him. "It's Raki isn't it? Are you on a job for him?" Havoc's voice was rising in volume clearly becoming agitated. He clenches his fists in an effort to calm down via charging his chakra. "Miu, is it Raki?" Havoc repeats the one question he wants to know the answer to most. (+5cp charge chakra Remaining cp = 40cp) |

| Kensei had no idea what was going on. Their sensei was gone, as was their mission. He looked at Havoc and the sniper for answers to why this brutality was nescesary, why after finally a sensei had taken him in he had to be taken away, but he didnt understand what they were talking about. Clearly there was some history here that he was unaware of. At the moment he figured his best option was keep charging his chakra and look for an opening. Someone would pay for Kuzukis demise, so Kensei vowed in silence. |

| The wind from her strike faded away, leaving Miu standing in the sky as if nothing had happened. "Miu how could you? When we were together you were against killing and now this?" "What are you babbling about? I was never against killing, just pointless fighting. Besides, I am not here to kill anyone." "It's raki isn't it? Are you on a job for him?" The tactless declaration from havoc caused Miu to break her battle form and nearly double over laughing. A sweet tinkling sound permeated the air. The seriousness of the situation broke down on her side, but not for Havoc. "Miu, is it Raki?" "Of course not," she assured him, "What makes you think Raki has any control over me? I am here as a messenger. You don't think it strange for a sniper to miss the first shot? Then continue fighting? To come here, right next to the enemy?" Miu sighed. She dropped her bow to her side and stood unafraid talking down to them. "Kuzuki is fine and so is your mission, be grateful for that much. Oh, sorry about that puppetperson, I didn't think your technique would have such a dangerous flaw, you should really re-think that..." It seemed that any immediate hostility was over. |

| Havoc wasn't sure what to think as Miu responded to his barrage of questions only gaining one real piece of information out of it all. Kuzuki fine? How? Where? As he was having this though the dirt behind him began to slightly rumble and shift as if an extremely large mole was about to break the surface. Behind Havoc Kuzuki emerges from the ground as the earth parts for him as he pulls out the unconscious nobleman. "So what is your message then messenger?" |

| The sight of Kuzuki alive gave Kensei the remaining strength he needed to get back on his feet. Through a scroll he kept around his waistband he summoned another cane to lean on while his chakra recovered. He wanted to say something, but kept silent for now as the two of them were still talking. He did however hobble closer to better hear the conversation, and moved to Havocs side. (Chakra charge continues every post until other notice appears) |

| When the guard emerged with his charge from underground Miu knew her guess had been right. Earth element, how I hate you "So what is your message then messenger?" "Well, it was for him..." she looked at the unconscious nobleman and shrugged, "But you will have to do. Tell him when he wakes, tell him Saito sends his regards and that Mirrormere awaits." Without stopping to explain her cryptic message she opened a full-body jet stream in front of her. "Good to see you Havoc. Puppetboy. Moleman." And Miu stepped inside the portal to be sent flying into the distance with a dull 'whoosh' and a few ribbons of wind. (Jet stream - 10cp Remaining 50cp) Miu has left the thread |

| "IT'S AZAZEL!" Kuzuki cried out but Miu was already gone. She had hit him where it hurts; right in the name coolness. He looks down deflated for abit. Meanwhiole Havoc was still lost in thought. Saito? Mirrormere? What has Miu gotten tangled up in. Moping done Kuzuki raises his head and speaks up. "Now who wants to carry this guy to the border with me?" Havoc takes one look at Kensei and forcibly dissolves his armour, walks over and helps Kuzuki carry the nobleman between them. "But only until he wakes up." The remainder of the escort was uneventful with the nobleman waking up halfway through their walk only to begin protesting too loudly about he should not have to walk like a commoner. So Kuzuki quickly knocked him out again to carry him all the way to the Iwa border. Upon handing him over, conscious, to the iwagakure escort he told the nobleman the message where he quickly went pale and ordered the escort to move out. Team Kuzuki stayed a single night before returning, much faster this time, to Konoha. Upon their arrival at Konoha they were greeted by an ANBU Who asked if the mission was a success and upon finding it was he officially promoted them to special jounin and jounin. Kuzuki then took them out for food, his shout. THREAD END |
