Entry # 1: Bitter as Snow

The forest province of the Fire country held an unending beauty, seemingly magnified in the recognition of its own brilliance. The subtle, almost foremost resonations formed through the relaxed chirping from the overhead birds rejoiced the ears. The creaks, ponds, and small river systems that were scattered through the afforest landscape would bathe and quench the thirst of hundreds of animals—some now, while others intended to enjoy the bliss of a relaxing drink later in the day.

Daybreak—the fabled transition from a darkened night, to a stunning day as the skies were lit with a incandescent orange hue, batted in streaks of monotonous grey and mauve. The clouds drifted with ease, and unperturbed motion would carry them east. It was beautiful, truly breathtaking and deserved only the finest painter to capture its splendor and mount it for all eyes to see. A moment filled with euphony, only the continuation of time would understand the eternal opulence of such a sight. It was the only dynamic that could truly appreciate art.

Stepping through the forest, Ryūsuke moved with a calm, steady pace. After receiving a third mission from the Receptionist back home, his mind was presently fixated on one goal; finding foreign intrusion. Konohagakure, currently being in a state of panic caused for paranoia of the most obscene levels, and as such, the elites were posted for combat. Leaving the inferior ranking members to handling the assignment of scouting. A bore really, nonetheless it couldn’t be helped and with official documentation posted on the bulletin boards, who was the Uchiha to deny such an proffer?

Senses astute and his eyes meticulously scanning around, the Genin quickly made progress as he skillfully maneuvered around the jungle terrain with ease. Not taking to top, he instead motioned on the ground; careful not to alert any nearby parties with shrill steps as he moved with an unanticipated silence. His Hitai-Ate embroidered into the textile of his sash, the Leaf Shinobi continued on, vigilant with each step. Nothing out of the ordinary ensued, until suddenly, a thin chill rushed towards his frame, colliding with his shirt.

“During this time of year?” He inquired to himself, quietly speaking rhetorically as the breeze continued. Soon, his face was pelted with a drizzle of snow? This was truly something odd as he focused on the direction the windswept the white delicacy and soon he would precede that way. However not before placing his arms together, skillfully dancing his fingers along one another, allowing the amalgamation of bodily prowess and spiritual fortitude to formulate.

Activating his Katon Bunshin no jutsu, the Shinobi was accompanied by two distinct copies of himself One occupying both sides of his frame, and soon the three motioned forward. Stepping closer towards the imminent battlefield, the chill of the snow deepened its effect, more so affecting the original, though not by much as he simply could endure with his attire. A long-sleeved kosode, navy bull while his body half was concealed with white hakuma pants. The clones being direct products of fire were apparently immune to the ill chilling effects.

Stopping several meters off from the battle, the commotion of conflict lingered in the air, and while visible difficult to intercept from the trees, the three could make out vague impressions of the two. The original signaling one clone to scout on ahead, the other was assigned to watch the Uchiha’s blind spots while they rested in the background, slowly easing their way forward.

Rushing through the forest, staying on a steady even path devoid of shrubs and other obstructions that could give away his location, the clone progressed quickly towards the field. Reaching the entrance into the snow covered battle zone, the clone looked on, noticing a Hyūga from the Hidden leaf, or so he assumed combating with an unidentified assailant. Knowing if he intruded, nothing would harm Ryūsuke, the clone rushed into the middle of the battlefield, some yards (9ft) off from initiator of the snow technique. He began waving his hands in a warning manner, hopefully he would draw attention and cease conflict for the interim.

She watched as the Hyuuga tactifully tried to use shunpo to gain momentum on the swallows. She watched with amusement as her opponent began to avoid them. There were ten of them and it would take some time to dodge and devoid all of them. While she was still eyeing the movements of her opponent, she was already one step ahead of her opponent. It was interesting how movement was; so fluid and yet can be so deadly. She saw that the Hyuuga was gaining his own momentum. If she was correct in the assumption, she figured that he was using shunpo, one of the movement techniques used by Taijutsu masters.

Tch--shuriken, she muttered. She loved the metal plates to death and realized that they could be deadly but was that all this person could give her? Two shuriken would come whizzing at her and she almost laughed out loud. The fact that the shuriken were coming to either side of her and moving an inch to either side would cause her to be caught in one of them, she merely didn't move She was now closing in distance with the Hyuuga. That's not a very good thing because she knew that Taijutsu specialists were skilled in close range. If she didn't lengthen the distance further, she wasn't going to be able to keep this spar up. And the worst part was because she had been trained in close range attacks for such a long time that she failed now in long rage. She searched in her mind for any possible jutsus that she could use. And her mind was completely blank at that moment.

Did she seriously not have a single jutsu in her repertoire that she could use? She was going to have to use another one of her jutsus again. She hated having to use a jutsu that she'd used in the battle before. And her chakra was running low--that was never a good thing! But she would have end this fast. Her movement was swift because she was so used to the effects of Yuki no Kami that she actually felt comfortable against the extreme cold. She would draw her distance even nearer still stopping at about eight meters away from her opponent and then pivot to her left. If she knew correctly, all opponents would find it harder to deal with attacks that were not aimed at their dominant side, whichever side they held weapons. She formed the handseals and poured out more chakra. Swallows time again!

"What the FUCK?!" Now she was a little irked at having someone just stand there in the middle of the battle. Who the hell did he think he was? And he was waving his arms around like some kind of idiot! She glared at the man. The battle was probably going to have to stop then and there, if this man's intrusion was indeed genuine. But there was something strange about him--something she just couldn't pinpoint--

Things went just as planned for the young Hyuuga. The twin metal stars distracted the girl for a moment, as well as keeping her in place. The distance was closing... and the girl helped it as well! She stopped just shy, apparently only wanting a small amount of distance, but Shinobu's movement was simultaneous, bring the Konoha-nin closer than those eight meters in no time at all. The girl stopped moving before creating her hand seals... odd.

It was then that another billowing collection of chakra appeared. Shinobu noted it, but paid it no heed, since it wasn't quite close enough to prove threatening. There just simply wasn't enough time to sit there and think about it! The Hyuuga had already entered close quarters range. One more attempt at this, making Shinobu feel like a one-trick-pony...

The Hyuuga's form moved at incredible speeds, despite the snow. This snow using girl, clearly having a battle style more focused on the ninja arts, likely couldn't keep up in melee combat. Why she had decided to move forward, Shinobu neither knew, nor cared. Sleeve-covered arms struck out, the first strikes aiming at the girl's exposed arms. At the very least, if she was going to try moving, her technique would likely find itself interrupted. If she stayed put, well... she wasn't going to have any more chakra to perform addition jutsu anytime soon.

Entry # 0: Taking Flight

The clone looked on with a monotone expressing as the seemingly amusing exhilaration before him hadn’t settled in his bowels. It wasn’t amusing, and nothing about the dispute intrigued his interest. The Hyūga was seemingly holding his own against the Ice manipulator. And without much of a tussle, she was falling into some form of ensnare he was setting. The Haze of frozen water was ubiquitous, and couldn’t be obsolete for meters on end. Nonetheless, with Ryūsuke effectively out of its range, and the mission transmitted through shared psychological cognizant, the clone had accomplished his mission.

Turning around, and soon entering into a deep sprint back towards his castor, the clone left the two Shinobi alone. His presence most likely felt, granted t was assured on the Hyūga’s end, this fight was not his own. The mission was to simply relay back an intruder’s location to the Hokage’s manner. Not to directly become involved. Anbu were meant for such a task, and if he rejoined the group and Shunshin guided him, the translation of the message would be done swiftly.

After a moment, the clone returned to Ryūsuke and his other identical counterpart. From there, the three motioned back towards the Village, where the clone instantaneously began explaining what he saw, followed by its instant cancelation to marmalade chakra. So there was indeed another assistant in Hi No Kuni, and relatively close to the Village. This was perfect.

Executing a Shunshin no jutsu, the Uchiha swiftly made it back to the village with ease, passing through the gates, ignoring the scanning, but more so informing the gate’s patrol of what was happening as he sprinted towards the Hokage’s Tower. Anbu would arrive soon enough. All he had to do was relay the information and claim his prize. Mission success.

The moment she saw her opponent venture towards her and closing the distance, she realized that she would have to be on her guard. The Hyuuga was coming at her with incredible speed. Her chakra was running low and definitely wasn't enough to put up much of a fight anymore. So now she had to find an escape. Her mind was working as she saw her opponent come in closer. Even the snow wasn't much of a diversion anymore. She powered her feet with chakra and then threw another shuriken at him just as he was about to launch an attack. The next few seconds were crucial.

She had noted with interest the man who had been waving ridiculously was gone. Why didn't he join in on the fight? From the looks of things he too was a Konoha shinobi and under normal circumstances should have fought along this he/she. But he left almost immediately. It didn't make sense. As she broke into a chakra powered run to carry her ten meters to the direction of the forest exit, it dawned on her that he may have been a spy. Shit! Hi no Kuni definitely wasn't a good place to stay! She would holler back at her opponent "We'll meet again one day! Remember my name, Sayaka Ayase." And with that she fled out of the forest into the country of Hi no Kuni, onto the docks and together with her boatman, fled Hi no Kuni.

The girl seemed hesitant, now, apparently her mind overtaking her natural instincts. She had made hand seals, but done nothing with them... odd. As of such, Shinobu had closed the gap between them. The Hyuuga's opponent had reached into her pouch, seemingly reaching for more weaponry, but it was already too late for her. The lack of opposition to Shinobu's technique left her with two solid strikes to her arms, sealing off her chakra.

However, Shinobu felt a twinge of pain after just the very first two strikes, and a grunt issued from the Hyuuga. One eye squeezed shut, although that didn't matter much to the Byakugan. Shinobu could only go this far when it came to battle? The Hyuuga felt rather pathetic, knowing that even though they were victorious, their limits had been pushed.

"You'd better run while you can... We need to fight again someday..." Shinobu muttered to the girl, voice steady, though the Hyuuga felt winded. The girl had her chakra sealed, sure, but she was still going to be able to move... maybe not properly, but enough to at least walk, or run away. With Byakugan left active to make sure the girl didn't make a cheap attack to the back, Shinobu made an escape, hoping that there was enough energy left in the teenage body to get back to Konoha...
