Naruto (IrritatedMind and H0lderOfH0pe)

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi sighed as he listened to the trader complain about the heat. He had been assigned to lead a mission, where they escorted a trader from Wind's border to Waterfall. They would move north to the border of Rain, and then go into Fire Country, before heading to Taki. Son was quite, but Kiba was way to loud. On top of that the trader, Tosu Mimoku, wasn't used to the desert heat. Silently Satoshi wished Shikamaru was there instead of the Inuzuka heir.


Popping his knuckles the boy ran his head through his black hair, making it spike a little higher. "Son, how much longer until we get to the border of Rain Country's border?"

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son glares at Kiba who wont shut up. he's about ready to hit him when Satoshi asks him when they'll make it to Rain Country " It'll be about a day and a half if we hurry maybe a- Oh My God Kiba Shut the hell UP before I wipe you from the face of the Planet!" Son responds to Satoshi and yelling at Kiba who stands stock still and whispers and I'm sorry, while Son has a raised fist that's glowing with red energy "Now keep quite dog boy!" he says with a glare towards Kiba. "Maybe a Day if we hurry Satoshi" he adds.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi sighed as Son yelled at Kiba. It was amazing that Akamaru was calmer then his partner, probably smarter too. Looking towards the sweat that was forming on the merchant's head, Satoshi shook his head. "No we will keep this speed. We will also take a break here in twenty minutes. We are getting close enough to the border for it to cool down enough for a break to be beneficial."


Looking at the dog he sent it a sympathetic smile. The dog couldn't even sweat to regulate his body temperature. "Kiba keep your nose open. As we move west along the Rain Country border there is a higher chance of bandits."

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son wipes his brow and keeps going along at his current speed, he wants to go faster just to get out of the blasted heat. "god I wish Anko was here....at least she'd keep things entertaining" Son says to himself. He takes a look around the team keeping an eye out for trouble.


" So run the attack plan by me again if we encounter bandits" Son asks as he takes a look behind the group hearing something.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi looked around and focused on the terrain. "Our main goal is to protect the client at all cost. That means that the moment they appear we take them down. No hesitation, and no talking. We kill first and ask questions later." Satoshi noticed the client looking a little nervous, and frowned. "However it we have no other choice we take the client and flee. His wares can be replaced, his life cannot."


Looking around Satoshi reached up and rubbed the blood red gem attached to his necklace. It was given to him, but he couldn't remember by who. It was the one connection to his past that he kept, but he didn't know anything about it, other then the fact that he couldn't throw it away. No matter how many times he tried to leave it behind, or throw it in the trash, he couldn't let the necklace go. Letting it go, Satoshi's pressed his hands together. He would be ready if they were attacked that was for sure.

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son nods his head at Satoshi and continues looking out for trouble. He does a few hands signs and whispers "Hidden In sight." "there that should keep us hidden" He thinks after he applied a genjutsu to the party so there invisible for as long as their with in a three yard radius of son.


"Hopefully Dog Boy can be quite for a day or two" He thinks as he glances at Kiba.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi noticed the genjutsu take over and shivered as the layer of chakra covered him. His sensory skills had a downside. Yawning he saw shrubs start forming, and then trees. As they walked he saw a shaded clearing that he signaled to. "That is a good place for us to rest. Afterwards I have decided that we will start moving towards Fire Country. This is close enough to Rain Country, they aren't on good terms with us anyway."


As he sat down Satoshi noticed that the merchant was sweating a little harder. Signaling to his team he made sure their client didn't see his hands. 'He was obiously planning on having someone rob him in order to get Konoha to pay for his lost wares. I will inform Tsunade-sama when we get back.'

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son See's Satoshi's signal and hops in to his battle stance. "Something's wrong why is he signaling us" He thinks as he prepares hand signs for his favorite jutsu.


"Kiba better keep his mouth shut so they don't hear us" Son thinks as Kiba shouts something and his dog Barks with him. "That's it he's dead" Son thinks as he inches over to Kiba ready to wipe him off the planet.

 

[IrritatedMind]

'RELAX!' Satoshi signaled. 'We are safe, but that is why we are heading towards Fire Country now. We will get him to Taki, and then we will tell Lady Tsunade. I will explain what is going on later.'


As he finished signaling Satoshi stood up and hoped his team would calm down. 'Why did I have to get put in charge of these two, they are both so quick to anger?'

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son Nods to Satoshi before he hits Kiba upside his head and whispers "Shut Up Dog Boy you're too Loud got it?" Kiba nods yes and jumps infront of Son but behind and to the right of Satoshi.


"My God One of these days Kiba will be wiped off the face of the Planet." He thinks as he steps in line behind Satoshi but to his Left with the trader in the middle between all three of the guys.

Satoshi shook his head at his team. 'I am going to have to separate those two by the time this mission is over. It seems that they just can't get along.' Looking towards the client Satoshi stood. "That is a long enough break. We are going to be moving a little fast now that we are out of the hotter parts of the border. We will head directly west towards Fire country before heading directly north to Taki. Akamaru take the lead."


As the group prepared to leave, Kiba moving closer to Satoshi and Son, the teen spoke again. "We had a secondary objective on this mission. There have been rumors of a merchant getting attacked by bandits while being guarded, 'losing' his wares and then demanding that the village he hired to pay for the supplies with extra thrown in. He is most likely working with those bandits, getting his supplies back, and sharing his payoff with them. We complete our mission, report to Tsunade and the trader will disappear soon. That means KEEPING your heads on straight. No distractions understood?"

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son Nods and Keeps and eye on the Trader. "well this little slime ball isn't getting away from my sights." Son looks at Kiba and nods his head saying I'll get along with you. Kiba does the same thing before we start moving along.


"I'm not going to waist more Charka on putting a tracker on this slime ball, I'll just scare him into staying with us" Son does a few hand signs and whispers "Plasma paw no justu" With that being said his hands glow red as he slams his right fist into his left hand as a sign to the trader to stay in the middle where it's safe.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi shook his head at his team's antics once again. He understood what Son was doing, but the slightly younger male didn't realize that the trader didn't know that they knew. What could be taken as a sign of preparedness, in case of a bandit attack, could also be seen for what it truly was. That means that the longer Son kept the jutsu activated, the higher the chance of the trader figuring things out.


Moving to the front of the group with Akamaru, Satoshi decided that the dog was most likely wanting to be next to his partner. With a single signal, Akamaru jumped to Kiba's side again. 'We will still be traveling for a couple of days at this speed.'


(I am changing it to where my thoughts are darker and my signals are lighter.)

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son looks at the trader through his peripheral seeing how freaked out he is, he releases his plasma paw jutsu. " Satoshi we should set up camp soon the sun is starting to go down." Son says as he looks at the darkening sky.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi examined the area before shaking his head. "No we will keep moving for now. If the client gets too tired you will carry him. At the moment we have to get to Fire Country. Tanigakure has been having a few problems with the other hidden villages here lately. We will rest once we get to Fire Country, it will only take a solid day at our current speed."

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son nods his head a little annoyed that he wont be able to get to sleep this night but doesn't speak anymore about setting up camp. "Well I'm going to have to deactivate my genjutsu for a while so I can keep my charka from drying up"


Son puts his hands together with the index fingers pointing up"Release!" he whispers as the genjutsu disappears and they can now be seen.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi could feel the glare from Kiba at what he had said, and then felt Son's chakra lift from the area. It would take twenty six hours of travel to get to Hi no Kuni, and when they crossed the border Satoshi stopped the group. "Now we can set up camp."

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son sits down on a tree branch so quick. "Good, I'll set up the camp fire. Kiba set up the tents please" Son jumps down from his branch and starts looking for fire wood. "Starting a fire will be so fun" Son thinks as he picks up so branches.


About ten minutes later Son gets back to the camp with enough fire wood. He makes the camp fire "time for my favorite part, fire style mini fire ball jutsu." He says as the camp fire comes to life.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi watched Kiba grumble as he sat up the tents, and Son run around like a child at the aspect of starting a fire. 'I am surrounded by children.' He thinks to himself as he starts writing a message. Moving far enough away from his team and client he preforms a single hand-sign. "Crystal Release: Jade Sparrow" As a dark green crystal bird forms in front of him, Satoshi gives it the note and has it fly off.


The Hokage would know of what was going on and Anko would be at Waterfall to assassinate the trader the moment their mission was done.

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son sits next to the fire letting the heat wash over him "The fire is nice and hot, lets cook some meat!" Son says with a stomach growl backing up the point that food is needed.





"Hey, Satoshi do we have any fish to cook?" Son ask's wanting to fill his stomach.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Moving back towards the group Satoshi shakes his head. "You already ate the fish remember. I only have some grilled salmon onigiri sealed in a scroll, and it is mine."


Looking at the fire for a moment, Satoshi flexed his fingers, popping the knuckles. "We are also a ways away from a river, so you will have to go without."

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son frowns at that "Is there anything I can cook or would you like me to eat Akamaru?" Son Asks looking at The dog while drooling. "that dog is big enough to feed me for two days!" Son thinks as he inches closer to the Dog only for the Dog and Kiba to growl at him to keep him away.


Kiba asks if Satoshi could share a bit of his food with Son so Kiba and Son dont fight over Akamaru.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi sighed for what seemed like the 1000 time over the course of this mission. 'Children indeed.' He thought as he unsealed a few rolled omlettes that he kept on him. "Here now be quiet. Just because we are in Hi no Kuni, doesn't mean there isn't any danger."


As he said that Satoshi looked towards Taki. 'I have a bad feeling in the pit of my gut.'

 

[H0lderOfH0pe]

Son Greedly eats the rolled omllettes after Satoshi hands them to him "Thanks Satoshi!" Son says with his mouth full.


Son looks at Kiba and and takes his last rolled from him and eats it. "Thanks Kiba" Son says after he swallowed the rolled omelette. causing Akamaru to jump at Son.

 

[IrritatedMind]

Satoshi shook his head as he watched his team. After his team settled the teen spoke again. "Alright, Kiba you will be taking the first watch. You watch will last for two hours, then wake Son up for his two hour long watch. Afterwards I will take the last four, and if either of you want to complain you can take the four hour watch."
