Sand Trek [T:Private]

[¤ SFS ¤]

It was time to depart. A vacation of sand was still a vacation. He'd had to sneak around the convoy of Iwa-nin while the Tsuchikage gave his speech, filling the village with new hopes and new ambitions. There was something to be said about the way he spoke his smiles never portrayed the way he felt on the inside. Although he could only guess at how the Tsuchikage felt on the inside. He just knew that the young man had a way of masking himself. He had personally delivered both exceedingly good and bad news to him without so much as an eyebrow twitch. It didn't take a good pokerface to tell that someone else had a good one.

He was moving ahead on his own. He still had no sure location of where the meeting place was for Suna and Iwa shinobi. The Uchiha said something about the desert outside of the village but he gave no specifics if he moved fast enough he could get to Sunagakure no Sato get directions to the festival's meeting place and meet the others back on the outskirts of Wind Country.

He blazed a trail that started with rocky peaks, traversed through and over mountainous pathways and eventually a plateau that overlooked the massive enveloping desert that was Sunagakure no Sato. He needed to get to that tournament location fast, before someone else snatched up all the Suna chicks.

He moved as if his life depended on it. He'd never made a sand trail so big in his wake. With every step he took he gave his feet no time to sink into the grainy ocean. He had to return to Iwa and return now. He could have been wrong and he could have been paranoid but all things considered, those were traits that would keep him alive. Many saw the Kazekage at the festival and just as many saw him leave but then if he were back at the village of Hidden Sand why were the Suna guards so standoffish? Why were they so tense at the village gates if there was to be a celebration? Had the Uchiha Kazekage planned on betraying them or worse yet had he gone missing in the desert? The latter was unlikely as in his mind a Suna-nin getting lost in the desert as was next to impossible let alone the kage of people. So that settled it he wasn't lost.

There were only three options. One he was simply traveling between Suna and the festival for some unknown reason but still genuinely sought to ally with Iwa. Two, he was planning on betraying them and he was waiting on the Tsuchikage to arrive to spring his trap. Three, he was dead. As unlikely as option three was it was still well within the realm of possibilities.

No option enticed him enough to remain within Wind Country so he ran. It didn't take long for those familiar paths to make themselves out. Sands to paths, grains to pebbles, deserts to mountains, Kaze to Tsuchi, Wind to Earth. With all the duress from traveling back and forth so soon his chest felt like it would explode outward from the force of his beating heart. With any luck the Tsuchikage would be still just outside the gates rallying the others to make the voyage to Kaze no Kuni. He hoped they hadn't departed yet, because if they had... Iwa was screwed.
