[M] Wild Crocodile

[Hermit]

"With little time to spare I began my quest for this crocodile"

I'd just left from the Kirigakure gates prior to its opening, and I, the Sasanagi prodigy trotted into the countryside with precipitant speeds. Soft foot-falls carried me gracefully into the horizon, silken-ebony tresses cast down from above, groomed to perfection. I looked onward as he proceeded, pools of onyx taking note of all in the room. Sprinting at level best speeds I looked onward as I proceeded, ocular pools of a scarlet-red imbibed any and all details about the lay of the physical land. I knew these parts well, this much was for certain.

"This mission will be quite easy"

I spoke out loud to myself as my words had been released, continuing my hasty trek along the lovely mountain roads of Mizu no Kuni. Suddenly the road seemed to slope downwards curving like an 'S'. My speed picked up, adding to my already mighty tread, I was making good time. With only on pair of arms at work I whipped out my missions slip to recap upon the location of my target. "It should be just up ahead over this hill.

[Hermit]

"As I pressed forward, somehow, thoughts of my pass crept into my mind."

Visions of the past entered my Sasanagi mind, back to when I had first decided to become a shinobi, merely a child. I had noted all the previous Sasanagi before me and this new generation. It was for them, and for them only, that I had chosen to take this path as a ninja. Their strength, loyalty, and dedication to protecting those of their own had inspired me to be what I had become. Sure, I had taken a different path from those before me, but regardless of that I arrived at the same position.

My mind crossed back over into reality in a moments notice as I reached the very bottom of a brief declivity. There was an upward bound hill that acted as my enemy, and a worth enemy it had been for me. Trees and jagged rocks dotted the sides of the road and the road itself, my body sway left and right at all times to prevent my feet from being cut up. Eventually I had reached the apex of that hill, I halted for a moment to cast an annoyed glaze over my shoulders, for some reason hills were always my bane, despite my powerful legs.

The earthen floor seeped through the crevices of my toes as I proceeded to my destination, I made good time, I knew this by how the trees, moist earth, and insects grew heavier in population the more I had advanced. Decreasing my speed I began to walk as my left foot struck a puddle of water, disturbing any and all life within it. One of my knees sunk down into the earthen floor as I had begun to gently pick up the raft spider that I'd accidentally disturbed.

"Sorry there little friend, I was in a rush. Hey have you happened to see a crocodile anywhere?"

As a Sasanagi my communication with spiders knew no bounds, none at all. Having forgiven my actions the raft spider leapt from the palm of my hands, landing to my right before making its way past a succession of bushes.

And there that were, the tracks of my enemy, the proof of its existence.There was definitely a body of water around some where I just knew it, I merely needed to follow it now to find my way.

[Sayomi]

Your six legged friend had pointed your query in the right direction, if you followed the fresh tracks you'd arrive at a small pond, an obscuring mist would linger atop the surface of it as its waves slowly waned, ripples forming and fading out. All would be silent save for the chirping of the insects that roamed around. They knew what lurked within the ponds depths, what stalked and prowled. Upon your approach you'd feel the omniscient gaze of your predator, no longer were you the hunter once you dared to enter his domain. You were being watched young shinobi so what is it that you'll do?

[Hermit]

My pace was fast, but my ebony oculars were faster as they danced in every direction. My eyes darted, following the path of the tracks as they led to a small pond; keen, ebony oculars relayed the slightest movement to my mind as the search was on. My pace was keen for I was unaware of the rate of travel the crocodile could take should it have lunged for me in any way, shape, or form. I'd been unable to clearly see my target through the misty area and waters, the creature was clearly the one who held the advantage at the time. Being the trained shinobi that I was, I took refuge into a 10 meter high tree with a backwards flips, landing upon the thick boughs.

For a man of my nature it would have been suicide to plunge myself into the croc's domain, so I played it safe, successfully concocting a plan to lure the beast from its liquid defense. I palmed one shuriken with all six of my appendages, two carried with them a blinding surprise. Not a second behind from arming myself had I sent forth the two flashy shuriken into the depths of the waters both opposite in direction from one another. It was ironic how crocodiles had impressive night vision, yet, their vision beneath their watery domain was relatively poor, sadly enough, these flashy shurikens would add insult to injury. I simply waited to see if the Croc would actually emerge and once it had (if

[/i] it does) I would have been bound to the earthen floor by my mighty webs.[/blockquote]

Description: An advancement to Kumonendo, the Sasanagi is now able to project their sticky web in short projectile bursts rather than in a long stream, creating a new type of offense. After gathering chakra and their spider webbing into their mouth, the user will spit it out of their mouth into a wide cobweb pattern. This wide pattern can envelop their foes and tie them down to a nearby surface., as this stickiness is caused by mixing his chakra with the body fluid. Finally, to ensure their prey does not escape, the Sasanagi's chakra will remain in the web even after it has left their body.

The shurikens darted into the depths of the pond, a surprise as well as a light engulfed an expanded below the surface; almost immediately rippled upon rippled touch the surface erratically as splashes were made sending water flying about. The reptilians great jaws snapped in open as it thrashed about making its way to land. However the beast would find it's sight still obscured by that light, and so in anger it's eyes sightless it fell victim to you trap, pinned t the earthen floor. As the sticky fluids met its body it rolled around repeatedly as its defensive nature dictated, but to no avail would its actions be rewarded for your fluids successfully bound it to where it lay. Upon its back, and exasperated it was at your mercy.

SUCCESS IT WAS!

My plan of attack worked wonders, well, at least in my favor. Blinded and disoriented the Croc fell haplessly into the my trap, a true spider I was, my ancestors had probably been showering my soul with extolment and applause as the Sasanagi prowess had been demonstrated skillfully despite the lack of mastery I had with the art. In a flash left digits withdrew my ninjato, now ready to claim what was rightfully mind as I leapt from the bough to descent down to the earth. I landed upon the alligators back, driving the tip of my blade into the summit of its head, it at least deserved a quick painless death. I felt my blade rive through bone and scaly flesh as it was sent asunder.

I'd removed my ninjato from its now lifeless vessel and began to dig out two fangs from its mouth, a souvenir for my victory, and evidence for my mission. Collected all that I needed I made my way back to Mizu no Kuni, ready to file in my report and grab my well deserved reward. It would not have taken long to get back at all for I felt vibrant and robust, causing my to twice as fast to get back home.
