The great mapping journey! [Estilo, closed]

[Yuki-chan]

((OOC: Since Estilo have not replied to me in over a month, I'm continuing this mission on my own. I have talked to adero and the mission is now a "B"-ranked mission))

"I would like to have marinaded chicken with some grilled vegetables and some black tea please" requested the female as the waiter returned. "Right...And what would you like to have sir?" asked the male as he looked at the other guy. He gave his order and the waiter disappeared.
Yukiko folded out the map; they had covered about a third of the eastern coast. They would have to continue further up until they reached the mountain chain up north.

'We don't have the equipment that's needed for scaling them. I suppose it's enough if we just continue a bit further west until we travel through the forests further south' thought the young woman. If they worked well, they could be in Fuyuminato* before the night came.
"Here's your food miss" announced the male as he put what she had ordered at the table. "Thank you" replied the Chuunin with a polite smile at her face.

She started to eat the dinner right away. They could not afford to take it slow since it would only be six hours more of daylight. Not to mention that the northern parts of Kaminari no Kuni were more rural compared to the south.
"I suggest we take the route that goes up to the shrine of Chimata no Kami*. It's a long route that covers most of the area between Akaniwa and Fuyuminato" suggested the female.

Both of them left the restaurant right after they had paid their meals. 'We have to cross that hill first' thought the brunette as she checked the map. They started on their trek over the hill that was behind Akaniwa.
It was a bit steep, but it did not take long until they were at the top. "I just want to take a photo of this" said the young woman as she noticed how great the view was.

The shinobi duo would continue the next hour to go through a rather rural landscape. No houses or any sort of shrines could be seen since most people used the harbour in Akaniwa for transport. Yukiko felt a bit uncomfortable; there were not a lot of forestland either.
Atlas sensed her discomfort, so they started to speed up a little bit so they could get out of this area faster. A small frown appeared at her face when she could see a brand new bridge ahead of them.

Her hands unfolded the map to see if they were on the right track. 'I can't remember that there was a bridge or a river of some sort here' thought the female as she looked at the map. She walked a little closer to investigate what this could be.
It appeared that parts of the steep hill in front of them had collapsed since the map had been made. 'Better write this down' thought the Chuunin as she took out her notebook.

'A steep hill 5 km south of the Chimata no Kami has collapsed. New bridge has been built there' wrote the young woman before they crossed the bridge. They had one more hour to jog until they reached the Chimata no Kami shrine.
From there, they had about two more hours to walk until they reached Fuyuminato. But they had covered about a third of Kaminari already though.


Fuyuminato = fuyu means 'north' and minato means 'harbor'.

Chimata no Kami = Japanese god of crossroads and footpaths.

[Yuki-chan]

'Oh no' thought the female when the duo were not too far away from the Chimata no Kami shrine. She could hear some thunder in the distance plus that the sky had started to turn gray with clouds. The male started to speed up a bit and she tried to match her speed with his.
A wave of relief went through her body when she could see the shrine. It was less than half a kilometer away from where they was now, so they would get under a roof in time.

"Good we got here in time...let's wait here until the rain stops" suggested Yukiko as they entered the shrine ten minutes later. Raindrops hit the ground outside while the thunder boomed through the air. She took out her camera and took a couple snapshots inside the shrine as well as the gardens.
It took about a half hour until the rain had started to subside. Both of them jogged out of the shrine as they continued on their road to Fuyuminato...the weather had delayed them a bit already.

But at least the roads were a bit better now compared to what the young woman had hoped they would be. She picked up her notebook and wrote down the road improvement on her checklist. Things like this would be quite important when they had to give the mission report to the Raikage.
One hour later, the two shinobis were starting to feel quite tired after the long trip they have had. Not to mention the fact that they had not eaten much since they had left Akaniwa.

"Let's eat something. It feels like my body is about to collapse" muttered the Chuunin as they were walking up a semi-large hill west for their next destination. Her partner agreed and the duo sat down to eat some food.
'I better stock up tonight...I barely have anything left in my backpacker' thought the female as she ate the last edible items that were in there. The weather was a bit chilly despite that it was in the middle of April.

She got back up on her legs twenty minutes later when they had regained enough strength to continue to Fuyuminato. Despite that the sky had cleared up a bit, it was rather dark outside since it was nearly 6 PM by now. Good thing that they only had one more hour until they had reached some population.
The city revealed itself when they were at the top of the hill...it was a sight to behold. "One second please!" exclaimed the brunette as she took out her camera again.

The female bit her lip in slight anxiety as they jogged down the hill towards the city. Most of the northern part was a bit rural, so caution was the key tomorrow.
The young man fortunately knew about a nice place to stay as well as a large supermarket. Fuyuminato was quite a bit bigger than Wolfgang's Rock despite being further north. The city apparently had a lot of old Japanese buildings that no other city had plus a large fish industry.

Both of the shinobis booked into the simple hotel; they would have a single room each. Yukiko felt a bit excited when she opened the door to her room. It was in the same Western style as the hotel at the orphanage mission.
'I think we can get to Kiringawa* tomorrow if we take the morning or mid-morning train to Hokuyama*. I just hope there aren't a lot of bandits up north' thought the young woman.


Hokuyama = 'hoku' means north while 'yama' means mountain.

Kiringawa = pun of Asahigawa (Asahi and Kirin are both beer brands).

[Yuki-chan]

Day two.

A small 'ring-ring' noise could be heard in the room that was at the second floor. The female turned off the alarm clock; it was already 9 AM. 'Crap, I better hurry so I don't miss the breakfast!' thought Yukiko as she got out of bed.
She went down to the breakfast room after she had gotten dressed and taken a shower. Her male partner ran into her on the way down to the room where the food was.

'I better find a train route or something. Or perhaps I should ask the concierge when the first train to Hokuyama leaves' thought the Chuunin as she chewed on her rice. She went to see the concierge right after the breakfast.
"There is a train that leaves for Hokuyama at 11:15 AM. It will take two hours to get to the destination" informed the man behind the counter.

"Could you please order two tickets for that train?" requested the female. He called the train station and reserved two tickets in Atlas name since he was old enough. "Make sure to pick up your tickets before 11:00 AM miss" told the concierge. "I will; I was going to check out now" replied the brunette. She jogged up to her room right afterwards to pack her belongings.

Both of the shinobis were on their way to the train station thirty minutes later. 'Wait a second...why is that section closed?' thought the young woman as they passed a couple streets near the mountain that were closed. She then decided to ask a police officer that was walking past them.
"That section is closed due to the fact that the houses there are dangerous to live in. They will be moved to the southern district where they're building new houses" stated the man while he pointed towards an area where there were some large machines operating.

"Right...thank you sir" muttered Yukiko as she took up her notebook to notify the changes. 'Four streets in the eastern district are being renovated since the houses are dangerous to live in. The people are now moving to the southern districts where new buildings are currently under construction' wrote the female.
It only took five more minutes until the duo had reached the train station to pick up their tickets. The arms on the clock told them that the time was 10:45 AM.

A sigh of irritation escaped her lips when she noticed that there was a queue in front of the reserved ticket counter. But they had no choice but to line up in the queue like everybody else here. After nearly ten minutes, the shinobis were able to pick up their ticket.
'The train is going from number 5...just have to find it then' thought the Chuunin as she looked at her ticket. The young man then found out where their train was by asking one of the ticket controllers.

A smile formed at her face when they boarded the train. "Welcome at train Tsuki* that will take you to Hokuyama. The trip will take approximately two hours. Snack machines can be found in wagon number 11" informed a voice over the intercom. The train started to move...it had been a while since the young woman had taken a train.


Tsuki = moon.

[Yuki-chan]

Everything zoomed past the train as they traveled towards the inlands of Kaminari no Kuni. This part of the nation had a large mountain chain with some parts being covered in snow all the time. 'Better hope that nothing bad happens there' thought the female as they went into a tunnel.
She knew that Hokuyama had about 25 000 citizens according to what she had heard, but the rest of the region was relatively scarce. But the nature there was quite a sight to behold on the positive side.

'We should be in Hokuyama soon' thought Yukiko as she looked at the watch strapped onto her wrist. They would be in the said town in 15 minutes unless something unusual happened on the last part. "We will be at Hokuyama station in 15 minutes; please make sure to take your belongings with you"[/color] informed the intercom voice.
The male stood up in order to get their backpackers that laid on the shelf above them. Buildings started to come into view as the train had now reached the suburban area of Hokuyama.

Five minutes later, the duo had exited the train that had now comed to a complete standstill. "Aaaaah. Nothing's like fresh mountain air" muttered the Chuunin with a large smile at her face.
She exited the station with her partner; they only had five hours or so to get to their next pitstop. Which would perhaps be their most streneous so far since this region had worse roads than the previous one.

Not to mention the fact that the female was not THAT much into scaling insanely high mountains. "The best route is the one that goes by the Seven godesses waterfall. But we have to cross a 500 meter tall mountain on the way" informed the brunette as she looked at the map.
It did not appear that the young man disagree with her, so the two shinobis left the town after they had checked the weather forecast. A small rainstorm would enter their route later today...no time to waste then.

Mountains with snow at the top could be seen in the distance while the sky was light gray with clouds. 'PLEASE don't let it start raining while we're scaling the mountain!' prayed the young woman as they continued on the route. The lack of people did not make it much better; there could be bandits anywhere.
Kaminari's mountain region was a bit infamous for bandits who would try to ambush hikers or traders that were heading for the west. But not many of them were shinobis...or at least not very good ones.

"Have you turned on your kagura's vision senpai?" muttered Yukiko as she glanced at him for a second. A small grin formed at his face when he glanced back at her. This calmed down the female a little bit since it would make it harder for people to ambush them.
Suddenly, the male stopped when they were about to walk down a hill. "What's wrong?" muttered the Chuunin while she tried to find anything out of the ordinary.

Emerald green eyes moved towards a large bush that appeared to be in bloom. 'Hold on a second! I can see a pair of shoes there!' thought the young woman when she saw a pair of brown leather shoes.
Only thieves or spies would have a reason to conceal themselves like that. But would it be enough with two shinobis against what could potentially be an entire group?

[Yuki-chan]

"How many can you see?" muttered the female as she started to gather a moderate amount of chakra. She did not receive that answer since her male partner pushed her to the right. It appeared that the guy hidden behind the bush was a decoy.
"Looks what we got cha there!" screamed the brown-clad guy with green hair in the front. He appeared to be on the same age as herself.

"Redhead is mine, you take care of the chick" muttered an orange-haired guy who was a bit larger in size than the previous one. "Fine with me. She won't prove much of a challenge anyhow" laughed the guy.
Yukiko narrowed her eyes before she threw two shurikens towards the greenett's torso. He dodged the first one while the second one made a three inch long cut in his shirt...there was barely any blood there though.

Both of the shurikens had acted as a diversion since the young woman was now finished with a set of handseals. "Hyouton! Tsubame fubuki!" exclaimed the Chuunin as she sent thirty swallows made out of snow towards the culprit.
Ten of them went straight for the face as well as the shoulders. Another ten went for the torso while the last ones headed straight for the attackers knees.

She tried to make the birds attack from different angles so it would be harder for him to block all of them. "GYAAAH! STUPID BIRDS!" screamed the young man as he tried to slice them in two with his sword.
His counter proved to be futile and he screamed louder when one of the birds hit him almost dead on in his eyes. "Senpai, we better run!" yelled the female as she picked up her shurikens.

Atlas nodded before the duo run as fast as they could away from the scene. "That guy looked quite unable to move. Did you paralyze him with raiton again?" inquired the brunette as they jogged on the path.
He gave her a nod in reply before they reached a rather wide field. 'We should be able to see the mountain soon' thought the young woman as she looked ahead.

Her assumptions turned out to be right since the mountain came into view when they had walked a little further. 'Kami...that's the smallest mountain in the chain! Looks like we don't have much of a choice but to hurry' thought Yukiko.
She could see some gray clouds come into view from the north, which meant that bad weather was ahead. Both of them started to speed up a little as they continued on the path that went over the mountain.

Crystal blue eyes looked down at the wrist watch. It had been about an hour and a half since they had left the train station in Hokuyama. 'We will use at least one hour to cross that mountain plus another one to get to Kiringawa' thought the female.
Their path was steeper now compared to earlier; they were well on their way. But would the bad weather get here before they had managed to cross the mountain?

Jutsus used:

Tsubame fubuki (Snow storm swallows). Can make 40 swallows.
Rank: "C" Rank.
Type: Offensive/clan kekkei touta/hyouton ninjutsu.
Range: See special!
Special: Strength and range of swallows depends on user's highest "Yuki no Kami" rank. Up to 10 swallows may be formed when first learned, plus 10 more each time retrained. Swallows fly at speeds that of twice a well thrown kunai.
Description: Hyouton - Tsubame fubuki is a secret Yukina hyouton ninjutsu technique that, although basic, can be deadly with proper use. After a few brief seals, the clan member will create ice swallows which they can launch at their opponent at high speeds. As they fly through the air, these deadly birds can hone in on their target.
Domain: Yukina. Yuki no kami "C".

[Yuki-chan]

Both of the shinobis had finished 2/3 of the road up to the mountain top. 'I better take a photo when I get on the top. The view is quite nice' thought the female as she pushed away a branch.
One thing that concerned her was the gray clouds that were quite a bit closer now. Yukiko wondered if they could get down from the mountain before the rainclouds reached them.

"Do we have a lot left to go senpai?" called the young woman as she placed her left leg on a large stone. The young male shook his head in reply with the familiar wide smile on his face. His smile was infectious, which made the Chuunin giggle a little.
A smile formed at her face when she realized that the path only inclined slightly until it begun to decline. Light footsteps could be heard when the female started to speed up a little bit.

"Can we stop here for a moment? I want to take a picture since we're at the top now" informed the brunette as she took out the digital camera again. She made sure to take a picture of each side of the mountain just to make sure.
The mapmakers would probably want as much information as possible. After all, there had been some great changes to the nature since the previous shinobi war.

Atlas were in the front while the young woman was only 20 feet behind him on their way down from the mountain. The path here appeared to be a bit better than the one that lead them to the top...she wondered why. 'I better write this down when we get back down' thought Yukiko as they crossed a small bridge.
But when they had comed halfway down the mountain, she could feel a raindrop land at her nose. Her eyes looked up and saw that the gray clouds had now reached them.

"Let's wait under this tree until the downpour is done" suggested the female when the raindrop started to multiply. The duo hid themselves under a maple tree while they waited for the downpour to calm down.
It took about half an hour until the rain started to die down a bit. Both of them started to jog in order to make up for the time they had lost.

'At least we're closer to Kiringawa now!' thought the Chuunin as they jogged down the route that lead to the Seven godesses waterfall. But they would not have much time to stop since they still had to find out what had changed in Kiringawa. The city came into view as they went down the small hill.
Kiringawa was a town located close to the western coast of Kaminari no Kuni with the major income being sea products. The duo then headed for the tourist information office to get a map over the city.

The young woman decided to take a look at the photographs she had taken at the mountain while comparing it to the map she had bought at her 11th birthday. 'Hm...I can see there is a change here. It looks like the forest has shrunken a bit' thought the brunette as she looked at the first photo.
The forest used to reach the small lake that was inbetween two valleys, but it now barely reached one of the paths. She laid her camera away since the office was not too far away.

[Yuki-chan]

One of the first things that the female noticed about the new city was the rather big harbour. The size made sense since the most important income sources required a ship or a boat of some sort. 'Looks like they're expanding it' thought Yukiko as she saw some machines surrounding the harbour area. Some large blocks with different materials were there as well.

'Kiringawa's harbour is being expanded' wrote the young woman in her notebook before they went into the office. Her male companion spoke with the elderly woman who sat behind the counter. She appeared to be a native since she knew so much about the city.
"We're going to the hotel first to get a room. We can go sightseeing afterwards" informed Atlas as they exited the building a couple minutes later.

"Sounds good with me. Where is the hotel anyways?" inquired the Chuunin as they went towards a statue of a woman who looked towards the ocean. He nodded towards a gray stone building that laid a bit further up the street.
It was a Western style hotel and they would have one room each with a small bathroom. "Let's meet here in ten minutes" suggested the female, which her the young man agreed to.

The duo exited the hotel after they had dropped off their luggage. First thing on the list was a tour to see what had changed in the city since their map had been created. "Wonder what's going on over there" muttered the Jounin as they approached the city hall.
Cranes were lifting materials while the sound of electric saws cutting through wood rang through the air. It made the brunette cringe slightly since that particular sound grated a bit on her ears.

Both of the shinobis went over to one of the construction workers to hear what they were working at. "We demolished the old city hall last year since the building was in need of some serious renovation. The pipe system was getting old, some of the walls had started to crumble plus that there were fungi inside the walls" informed the man.
"Good thing that you got enough money to build a new one then. I'm sure the people who worked there are happy too" stated the young woman with a small smile on her face.

"You bet they are. They have waited for six years or something like that to get a new building" answered the worker with a large grin. The shinobi duo said good bye before they decided to go somewhere to eat.
Both of them were starving since they had traveled quite a long way. "We should be able to get down to Midorino* tomorrow...there is a really nice route that goes by the coast line" suggested Yukiko as she folded out her map.

She felt a little odd when she realized that they had covered 2/3 of Kaminari no Kuni in just two days. They had not covered very much of the mountain area, but they only had three days. Most of the mountain areas were quite deserted and did not have a proper route anyways.
Both of them decided to eat at a local Korean-style barbeque for dinner...they had deserved that. Tomorrow would be the last day of their mission before they had to go home to Kumogakure no Sato.

Midorino = compound word of 'green' and 'field'.

[Yuki-chan]

Day three.

A rather annoying beeping sound rang through the silent hotel room. 'Mmmh...is it 07:30 AM already!?' thought the female as she turned off the alarm. Her assumption was confirmed with one look at the watch.
She got down to the breakfast room after she had put on her uniform. But there was a difference; the sleeves on her shirt were shorter than the other ones.

Her male partner arrived five minutes later and greeted her with a quick 'good morning'. They would travel down the west coast today as well as covering some of the southern parts of the nation. Once that was done, they had to get back to Kumogakure no Sato as fast as they could.
Yukiko finished her breakfast before she went back to her room to pack down her luggage. The duo left the hotel at 10:05 AM; they had to be effective today since it was their last day.

Some sunlight peeked out between some clouds while a fresh breeze blew through the air. "Aaaaah....today is gonna be great! We have a nice route and the southern part left until we have to get back home" exclaimed the young woman as they left the suburban areas.
Atlas gave her his usual grin before they started to jump from tree to tree shinobi-style. That went a bit faster than just walking down the road that lead to the coastal area.

'I'm glad I bought some souvenirs when we were in Fuyuminato. But this has been a great mission despite the shortage of time we had' thought the Chuunin as she landed on a thick oak branch. "Can you see the coast senpai?" inquired the female while she looked forwards.
They should be able to see the sea area soon, so why could they only see trees ahead of them? Maybe the route had been changed a bit since the map had been created or something.

The duo would receive their answer five minutes later...it appeared that the route that was closest to the sea had been closed due to erosion. 'Coastal route from Kiringawa to Midorino has been closed down' wrote the brunette in her notebook. It was a bit sad, but they were able to see some of the sea from their current position.
"Are you hungry snow pea?" asked the young man one hour later. "A little bit, why do you ask?" replied the young woman as they jumped down at the ground.

He nodded his head towards something that looked like a small teahouse. But the style was a bit different; it reminded her of a Western coffee shop of some sort. 'Oh well, variety is the spice of life after all' thought Yukiko as they entered the shop.
There were not a lot of customers inside the coffee shop at the moment. Most of them appeared to be traders or craftsmen who were moving from city to city.

Both of them went towards the counter to order their food. A beige-blond woman dressed in a maid uniform stood right behind it. "Hello and welcome to the Cappucino house! What would you like to order?" greeted the female.
"Uhm...do you have cocoa or some coffee that does not have a lot of strong coffee flavour?" asked the female as she looked at the menu.

Maybe this could be her chance to get over her initial dislike for almost ANYTHING that contained some sort of coffee beans. "Maybe you should try caffe au lait. It does not have that much taste since it has milk in it" suggested the waitress.
"I'll give that one a go. I would like skimmed milk please" said the Chuunin with a semi-polite voice.

[Yuki-chan]

Both of them received their orders a couple minutes later. The female had ordered caffe au lait with two vegetarian sandwiches while the male had ordered macchiato with omelet. 'Here we go' thought Yukiko as she took a sip of the caffe au lait.
She pulled a grimace; it still tasted like coffee but it was bearable. "Sorry senpai, dont' think I'm going to change my mind about coffee" muttered the young woman.

Atlas responded with a grin as he started on his macchiato right away. It did not take long for the two shinobis to finish off their meal since they were starving. "Here you go...keep the change" told the Chuunin as she gave the waitress the money for the meal.
The duo then started to jump from tree to tree while the clouds started to thin out at the sky. Sunlight now made the sea next to them glitter, so the female decided to take a picture with her camera.

"Looks like the trees are starting to thin out snow pea" informed the young man after two more hours. The road that went through the forested scenery had grown in size while the forest had started to shrink. Both of them started to jog instead, passing some traders on their way.
"What the..." muttered the brunette as she saw a bridge ahead of them that was not marked at the map. It was a bridge that went straight across the small bay where she thought the road would take them.

'New bridge has been built at the bay north-east of Midorino' noted the young woman while she marked their current location at her map. The duo walked across the bridge as they tried to catch their breath. It would be about 1 1/2 hour until they would reach the next pitstop before they had to go back to Kumogakure.
'Kumogakure no Sato is only two hours away from Midorino, but the route is a bit deserted. We better be careful so nobody stalks us' thought Yukiko as they begun to tree-jump again.

"Hey...I think that's the start of the suburb little sis" muttered the Jounin with a smile on his face an hour later. Ice blue eyes brightened in happiness when the owner saw something that looked like a normal neighborhood. But it would probably spend another half hour to get to the city center.
It was clear that Midorino was a city of art; many of the older buildings had an art noveau design. Some of the newer houses had a sort of clean style with some artistic details on them.

They headed for the tourist information right away to see if there were any notable changes to the city. "Hello, what can I help you with?" greeted the turquoise-haired man behind the counter. "We would like to know if there has been any sort of changes to the city during the last seven years" replied the female.
"Well...the old theater was expanded a bit last year due to the increase in funding. Plus that two houses in this street have been demolished because of health risks" informed the male after he had laid a map over the city on the counter.

[Yuki-chan]

'Expansion of theater in Midorino plus that two houses in Amaterasu avenue has been demolished due to health risks' wrote the female. "Nothing else has happened in the city I'm afraid. There haven't been a lot of changes to the streets or buildings" stated the man.
"Thank you for letting us know" replied Yukiko with a smile before the shinobis left the information center. 'We should start on our way home' thought the young woman after she had looked at her wrist watch.

'2 PM ALREADY!? We better get moving if we want to report to the tower during the day hours!' thought the Chuunin while raising her eyebrows. The duo started to jump from roof to roof towards the east...which was where their village was.
Atlas had his sensor vision activated just in case while the female covered the rest with normal vision. "Hey, look down there!" exclaimed the brunette when she saw a gang of punks who had surrounded a young woman in a suit.

"Beating up a woman is not fair...I'll say we have to take some action" muttered Atlas. "Me too" replied the young woman before they started on the handseals. The female victim was 30 meters away, so they had to use long distance jutsus.
"Hyouton! Sensatsu suishou!" yelled Yukiko as she launched 200 needles towards the quartet who had no idea what would happen in a couple moments.

She had aimed 50 needles that attacked from different angles on each man. "GYAAAAAH!" screamed the culprits when they were hit by ice needles plus a set of lightning bullets. The woman as well as the Kumo shinobis ran away as fast as they could.
"We should be able to get back to Kumogakure in one and a half hour if we keep up the speed" muttered the female as they reached the eastern area. Both of them stayed alert in case someone tried to stalk them.

A wind blew through the air while some clouds started to gather on the sky. 'Kami...let it be drizzle or lightning! I cannot STAND getting wet when we're so close to home!' thought the Chuunin as they reached the forested area close to Kumogakure no Sato. It appeared that the forested area had expanded a bit as well, which was a good thing. Shinobis and their villages wanted to remain hidden after all.

Drops of drizzle arrived just a half hour later. Which was a good thing since it could erase their tracks to a certain degree. "Do you see anything suspicous Yuki?" asked the young man.
"Not really" answered the young woman while she jumped into the air. Her eyes looked to the right and left a couple times to see if there was anything out of the ordinary nearby.

Crystal spheres lightened up when they saw a familiar path ahead of them in the forest 45 minutes later. It was a path that would lead them up to the gates of their shinobi village! "Looks like we're almost home" stated the brunette with a smile as they continued on their path.
She could not wait to get to the Raikage tower and going home to her family. It had only been three days, but she missed Kumogakure no Sato a little bit already.

But traveling all across Kaminari no Kuni in just three days had been quite a nice journey though. The female had been to cities as well as traveling routes she had never visited or traveled before. 'Better get my ID ready' thought Yukiko as they walked up to the village gate area.
Priority number one was to give the notes with the changes, photos as well as the map to the Raikage. Second on the list was to get a decent meal plus some rest...they had been on their feet for quite some time.
