Silent Homicide [T]

[☆ F ☆]

Kaminari's blue skies met our figures as we furthered ourselves away more and more from our homeland, the familair gates no longer within eye's view. I said nothing as I observed the firmament momentarily, sending off a silent prayer to the gods of death so that my passage to and fro would be done without requiring their audience. Nami, to my right, would now see me produce several items from my satchel - two sets of plain, worn robes, and a pair of radios. The cloths were donned instantly, and as the radio's secret frequency was established, I'd let a few words escape my pursed lips.

"We travel light and we travel quiet. Keep a sharp eye out..."

In the eyes of a passerby, being under the guise of the dirt-brown ponchos meant we'd be shinobi no more. We instead appeared like nothing more than disheveled travelers - perhaps merchants? - with little to hide. The road taken towards our destination - Hi no Kuni - was taken along a public route, where open, expansiveness plains would prepare our duo for the transition. In a few hours, Fire would greet our souls.

Oh the irony...

[/color][/font] beloved gates of our home fading away from our backs as we moved into the countryside. There was a moment where, both warriors would simply stop. Kamui stood to my left as we began our voyage to the great world and beyond. Faust, simply knew the terrain a bit more than me from his experience out in the fields. That granting him the true position of upholding the Jounin rank. I sought to savor in that glory that was bathed amongst this being's very aura about him. The robe would be handed towards my being and without hesitation there was the radio as well. Grasping these products that were freshly purchased after our pit stop within Kaminari's item shop. Taking a moment to no longer be dressed as shinobi, but merely merchants. My mask would for the first time be removed from it's home in years revealing my delicate features.

“Understood....”

That was all I murmured as I began tightening up the robes amongst my figure. The ideas of us even resembling shinobi were not out of the question. For we sought to be seen as nothing more than travelers and with that being done. Time was of the essence, as we began to notice the change in terrain from our very own. It seemed as though the lands known as Hi no Kuni were about to be greeting us fairly soon. Thus, the Fire country would be on the horizon and we'll continue to carve our path towards our objective. These eyes of mine seeking the world for what it was and a breeze caressing my hair. Smile would erupt over my face it seemed that I was at peace with the world or was it just me brimming with excitement.

[DAVID BOWE]

Moved.

[☆ F ☆]

We arrived a lot sooner than predicted, though I suspected my hurried stride and overall fast pace had been responsible for the early attendance - it seemed even I could not contain the excitement that sudden surged from within. A survivor of the great war, my ambition towards colonialism had not faltered despite our nation's recent setbacks - or the world's, for that matter. No...if anything, it grew. And as a direct result of that, I awoke into a new world hungrier than ever. Thirsty for power and knowing no other means of satiation other than that very power in its most absolute state, I could not contain myself any longer.

"Though our ultimate goals reside in Earth, we're taking a small detour Nami..."

"...I've unfinished business - Kage business."

My rank had afforded me village information many of my kinsmen simply were not privy to, so when I caught wind of our newest leader elect and the naivety behind his ascension, I knew Kumo's salvation lie only in the hands of one. Where many a superhero (or villain?) chose to appear before many and flaunt their power, I'd be the one in the shadows. The bringer of darkness; Alpha, Omega, and the rest of that good shit. The only dark knight Cloud would ever need. And it'd all be done without them knowing...

"..."

I had adopted a murderous silence now, my eyes suddenly fixating on a blemish in the nearby horizon. If the Kaguya hadn't caught wind by now, I'd soon let him know via this first encounter that I had intentions beyond that which my Kage wished upon me. Without looking his way, I'd usher Nami my way, a single gloved hand emerging from under the folds of my robe. Open and still, they swiftly motioned towards north; once, twice, and a third. Finally, as I slowly trotted towards the figure more than 50 meters away, my hand would point in one more direction - Gaia.

"Our exercise begins....now"

"Prepare yourself."

Exit!

[/color][/font] eyes would meet the horizons some more as our travels garnished us with the fruits of success. Though to me that success wasn't in my honor nor was it in the Uchiha's armor, but that of Kumogakure. With the mood of the entire group switching from casual strolls to the bone gritting intensity of a mission's objective at hand. Alas, we were in Hi no Kuni far from what our mission staple was supposed to be. There was no need to interject for this would be great opportunity to see things across the globe. He would point forward and then his sights fell upon me. It seemed he was asking of me to utilize the earth to our advantage no matter the situation. Thus, it seemed the main attraction was definitely about to be underway.

It was time. Upon the setting of the sun, when I had predicted Team Silent Homicide would be done, would their knowledge return to me, a devilish smile worn as the now-decimated Kage Bunshin's chakra experiences became mine. This entire time I had chosen to rest 'pon a hidden perch within Hi no Kuni, my Lightning Clones still existent below keeping watch as I rested and recovered my chakra. Now, with the location secured, it was only a matter of time before the Nami and Kimi arrived. I'd be ready when they would.

Mizu, Suna or Tsuchi...

...hmm.

As I awaited their return, I pondered on our next location. We were running out of time, but int he process, we had gained a wealth of information, both expected and unexpected. A glance at the dead Suna nin in the arms of my clone reminded me we were still deep in enemy territory, and although this had been a minor victory, things would only get worse. Therefor, i would not let my guard down.

I supposed it doesn't matter anyways...

Now, to wait for their arrival. Each clone, littered around the clearing more than 10 meters away acting as my lookouts, would be ready and alert - as was I...

[/color][/font] the sun losing its light slowly as it'll begin to go down, hiding within the shadows of the forests itself. My being would be on it's way back towards the rendezvous point that we agreed on beforehand. This team had accomplished the first goal with relatively good time, but now it seemed that we possibly earned the respects of our Jounin-sempai. Well rather I gained his respects, but this was a different time to handle the situation. Once I would come into the horizon I saw three similar people, but when I got a better look. It was none other than Faust and his clones.

We'll rendezvous and I began to take note of the body that was still within his clutches. That was when I would speak,”Are you planning on just walking with a corpse in the open?” That was all I asked for now, but where was Kimidori at. She seemed to have it out for me since my ruse was being pulled on her during our missions. She should have known I would have taken full advantage of such a moment, but the love was still there for her as a friend. There relationship was quite intriguing started out as a rivalry, but it doesn't matter. We were ready for it and this was the beginning of the show.

“So whats our next step?”

Keeping to Namitsuki's right side, I too would arrive at the chosen location. "If you're looking to gain intel on all our rivals, Mizu no Kuni is closer to us now that we're in Hi no Kuni." I added to Namitsuki's question. My eyes took note of the clones, as well as the dead body of the suna shinobi. I wouldn't say much, instead I kept a straight face. The Uchiha seemed to be deep within thought, so no doubt he was determining our next move. There was also the fact that the elders would probably send out a squad to find us if we stayed away too long.

"Let's not forget our village needs us in the country, we won't get much grace from the elders if we stay away too long." knowing those elders, they'd be quick to announce us as Missing Ninja. Something I wasn't too keen on.

[☆ F ☆]

Their words, though heard, almost fell on deaf ears. Drunk with power, I knew we couldn't turn back now - we must finish our conquest! With a wary but quiet expression, I simply pointed towards the fading horizon - the destiny we'd soon be walking off to.

"Home? Soon..."

"...for now, however? Tsuchi no Kuni..."

I said nothing however - for now, it was time to move.

[DAVID BOWE]

Moved.

[☆ F ☆]

Though arid, dry and uneventful, Tsuchi no Kuni would nonetheless greet us with opportunity - one I'd cease without hesitation. Having found a new day 'pon the leave of the previous during our travels, we were well rested and glad to be received in this new country with a full, noon sun.

"We've arrived..."

Now, to search.

So, we were headed to Tsuchi no Kuni. It seemed we really were gathering intel on our rivals, then heading home. Quite a noble mission Uchiha Faust decided to take upon himself. Would the elders be pleased by our little detour or would they scold us for putting Kumogakure at risk? Well, we certainly left no traces of our presence...Alas, I wouldn't need to entertain that line of thought for long. Our route to Tsuchi no Kuni was, long but short at the same time. However, my home sickness was growing ever stronger...

[/color][/font] my comrade I'll make way behind him as we'll make our way into the stone. My being carried with a sense of duty unbeknownst to any who dared to defy Kumogakure. This was the will of Kumo and I was the reaper of all those that stood against us. The beginning of our searches were at hand, and thus the next stop of our mission to Tsuchi no Kuni would begin on this day. The deity of the Kaguya clan was now ready to continue and hopefully his comrades were ready as well, but obviously our Jounin leader, Faust was all too ready.

AWAITING

[/color][/font] my comrade's long absence as me and Kimidori would surely be awaiting where we begun. Her Byakugan was on the lookout for any enemies that were on their way. While I remained relaxed and poised to strike at the shadows, not from the shadows at any moment. One could say I was dedicated to the mission to the point of placing my very window of life in it. This was the true power of the Kaguya was about. Ensuring the success of the mission at all costs while basking in the very scarlet liquid that would leave their bodies that day, via our own dirty hands. My clan had its tales and it had its moments where the uprising was unlike none other, but now it was time to move forth in life, but at the same time I had a comrade still locked in battle. Those preparations I had made were now ready and I could enter at a moment's notice, due to my affiliation with the Doton Release. After all we did get past the patrols and had the village very well within our sights. All thanks to those cursed eyes Kimidori possessed, but without them who would she be just a normal shinobi. There I would await for my partner's arrival and soon he would be here. It would be time for us to move. My preparation was ready for anything that would transpire around us during our wait. I was prepared for anything that came our way.

Broken, tattered and torn I arrived to their side, my crimson shodai's maimed appearance and lack of luster screaming volumes as to the many levels of hell I had just passed through. And to think, it only took a few seconds!!! Cold metal hugged at my hands as the gauntlets sought to try and cover the location of my wound, created by the now-dead samurai's chakra. A 'tch' escaped by mouth as I regretted ever spilling even a drop of blood to someone so inferior, but as my Shadow Clone entered the scene with two unconscious Stone nin and placed them down next to the slain Suna nin (bound, of course!), my morale would raise up once more.

"...you have NO idea. Let's just get out of here for now though..."

"Kimi, could you be a dear and be so kind as to "take care" of our guests...?"

My politeness was fake - anyone with enough astuteness could tell my true concern lie in the blood originating from my eyes. From Sharingan.
