description; It’s no secret Kumogakure no Sato is monumental. The travel from one end to another for a mere citizen takes hours. Because of the prolonged trip in traveling from one point towards another for a citizen. The Kumogakure no Sato inhabitants require the aid of the Kumogakure shinobi to quickly deliver objects with hastened speed. Usually what takes hours for the residents is cut in half for a Kumogakure shinobi. So go out and deliver whatever it is our natives need delivered.

Satsui arrived in plenty of time to begin his task, having woken up that morning determined to accomplish several things that needed doing for the citizenry of Kumogakure no Sato. It was still early enough in the morning for the sun to be dowsing the peaks of Mt. Gekitsuu in sunlight even from a distance, and the people of Kaminari no Kuni were just waking up and beginning to move about. Satsui stood outside the Employment Offices of the Qwik Kunai manufacturers, a company dedicated to the study and production of world-class weaponry, waiting for his contact, . . . to make contact. He was supposed to be delivery and satchel full of new design models to the Raikage Tower, across the village, for inspection and review. Perhaps they might even replace the standard edition currently being used by most all shinobi within the Land of Lightning, but no matter.

It didn't make one bit of difference to Satsui what the outcome would be; he was interested primarily in his mission log and the payment that would come with the completion of his assignment. When the lights finally came on inside the building and the sound of machinery began to emanate from within he breathed a hurried sigh and tried to look less bored. The door on the side of the building swung open and the manager, Satsui's contact within the company, emerged with a black duffel tucked underneath his arm. He looked to and fro until his eyes fell on Satsui and then he made a gesture meant to call the young lad over to where he stood. The Genin could tell the man was about to run through his spiel about the importance of the delivery and the sanctions that would be handed down if the package wasn't delivered unopened, and there was no way in hell Satsui was going to be subjected to such a melodramatic intro.

Just before he came into vocal range, Satsui would seem to disappear from view leaving the manager to wonder just what had happened but then he would feel a light tug from behind. Looking back, he would be too late to see Satsui scaling the wall but the Genin waiting long enough for the balding man to look up and see him perched atop the building's edge. He gave a quick gesture, less professional and entirely inappropriate, meant to tell the old geezer exactly what he thought of his time being wasted and he took off across the roof of the building.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Chakra: Low
Special: Flickering is near-instantaneous forward movement, meaning the user will rush almost instantly to wherever they are facing as chakra pushes their legs to inhumane levels. The user can flicker once per thread, plus once more each time retrained. One cannot attack or perform techniques during Shunshin.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique, it allows a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed - to an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. Such a feat is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds they would otherwise be unable to reproduce. In the end, the user will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly should they need it. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.
Domain: Shunshin - Universal Ninjutsu.

Streaking out across the rooftops and leaping over alleys was not something Satsui particularly enjoyed but he had to admit that it was nice to be home. A recent mission had taken him outside the village limits and his training often took place near his ancestral lands, so being back in Kumogakure was somewhat pleasant and a smile came to his face for the briefest moment. His feet moved with the trained swiftness that came from being a shinobi; the exact reason this mission existed was because the Genin could far outpace the normal delivery services one could fine as a civilian. But Satsui would rather be employing his craft in battle or at least something more substantial than being a damn delivery boy. He shook his head, focused on the money, and threw himself into the air before somersaulting gracefully and landing on a weather vane.

His forward momentum was allowed to carry him onward and his feet found tile once again as he dashed off into the light of the rising sun. As he ran, his vision skimmed the streets below him and he caught sight of several villagers. Some were non-ninja but many were his comrades and as they moved about, fulfilling whatever duties and responsibilities they might have had, Satsui found himself searching for someone special. It wasn't a friend or colleague- no, this was someone who had angered him and brought shame upon the hitai-ate they both wore. Some runaway Hyuga that had never been taught the most basic premise of life in Kumo. You never run from a fight. Be it a spar or a death match, in Kaminari no Kuni one never stopped fighting until the fight was done. When Satsui found his target again he would be sure to drive that point home no matter how much blood he had to spill to do so.

Satsui set aside his search, for the time being, and went back to focusing on the mission at hand for he was nearing his destination with each passing moment. There was a heatwave of sorts moving throughout the land which was extremely uncharacteristic for Kumo and his brow was developing a light sheen. He wiped his forehead with his hand and, for the first time, inspected the package he was carrying in the other. It was approximately one and one half feet by two feet, solid brown paper encasing it wholly, and the weight was somewhere between five and seven pounds. The outer markings read 'FOR THE RAIKAGE'S EYES ONLY!' which, for all intents and purposes, could just as easily been translated into 'PLEASE OPEN IMMEDIATELY!', but Satsui knew enough not to delve into matters that did not concern him and besides- he wanted to be on the Raikage's good side.

The young Genin hoped to find a way to convince his village's leader to take him under his wing and train him. He knew that he was not of the proper lineage to truly benefit from all the Raikage had to offer but he hoped that the man would be willing to pass down his experience in battle and, more importantly, the mental aspects associated with commanding a large of shinobi. It was Satsui's goal to one day become the most feared Shinobi-Gashira that Kumogakure no Sato had ever known and then expand upon that position and elevate the village even higher. He still had an extremely long way to climb so learning at the feet of the current Raikage would be nothing but a boon to his endeavors. In the distance, the Raikage Tower rose up to distinguish itself from the other buildings in the surrounding area and Satsui spurred himself onward to reach the location with all haste.

One final leap took him over the edge of the adjacent office building and he turned in midair to land on the first of several awnings and balconies that would bring him back to earth. His feet found the ground beneath after several seconds and he went directly through the doors, following the curvature of the lobby, to find himself standing on the opposite side of a receptionist's desk.

"Delivery of package complete", he said as the woman reached out took the satchel,"please see to it that the Raikage knows it's here."

With that he spun about and reversed his course in order to make his way back out and into the light of the morning sun once more. Perhaps he would continue his search for that Hyuga but that would have to wait until he'd found something to eat. He hated hunting on an empty stomach.
