It was no secret that there was conflict between the two Great Shinobi Nations, the Village Hidden in the Mist and the Village Hidden in the Leaves. While Baba himself could care less about the reason for the conflict, he did enjoy the flavor it added to the world. Stagnancy wasn't something he enjoyed and what better way to have the pot bubbling and boiling with vagrant aromas than to have the bodies of many shinobi littering the earth as fertilizer for flora? Baba liked the idea, even if it was his own body though he wished it wouldn't be, but regardless life was life. For the day Baba had been and would continue to be in the company of his old student and frequent mission partner Thebe Hozuki. A rather peculiar nin, but Baba didn't mind, he liked the Hozuki and the two had worked together many times before being a frequent pairing when it came to field missions. The two knew each other's tendencies and habits along with tactics, so it only made sense that they were a dynamic duo even with the lack of verbal communication at times.. With the status of the land's the two had been sent on a fun time scouting mission to make sure the land's weren't being compromised or anything of that nature. The area they were stationed in was the habitat encompassing the important village Miyako. Baba was familiar with the area, very familiar in fact, he was a map maker after all and had been a shinobi for more than half his life. -28 Years-. If one wasn't familiar with not only the landscape, but the people as a ninja with his number of years under their belt, what the hell were they doing? The plan between the two Jounin had been established prior to their deployment and both Jounin had the plan down in their heads and both had prepared for the task at hand. Once again, given the status of the land's it was crucial to arm yourself to the teeth even if you were going on a leisure walk. There was no telling who may be roving through villages and in people's homes undercover. Baba had grabbed his kunais that had their handles wrapped with explosive notes. These were placed in holsters on the outside of his right thigh. The rest of the explosive tags he had were in a holster on his left thigh. He had on his Deep Blue Battle Armor. The fit was just right, no mobility hindered, he wasn't weighed down, and he was properly protected given the armor was worn by him as it was intended. His single kukri with its handle projecting out on the back of his right hip. It was placed for optimal use, allowing for speedy safe drawing and within comfortable reach for his arm. He had his katana fastened to his left hip in such a way that use was most efficient, may it be for defense or offense. He had his handheld radio, ready in his ear for use on the correct frequency for communication between him and his ally. He had binoculars strapped tight and safely to his right hip, they were focused and all, ready to supply him with the full 50m of range they allotted him. His breath mask was smuggled in his garbs, but secured via slotting for immediate use at a moments notice. Then finally he had a fancy little thing known as a Hikari that was in a tool pouch that was on the back of the left side of his hip, not in the way of the kukri, but in a place that supplied him with the ability to retrieve the item quickly and safely. So now we begin.

Here they were out in Mizu no Kuni patrolling the land in search of not only people, but things that were out of place and could be a potential threat or were just suspicious to either of them. Such a task required not only full immersion into one's surroundings, but also exquisites levels of stealth. Baba would be sure to keep his partner in mind and not stray far from him, but within a close proximity as they moved through the lightly misted forest. Miyako was about 150m out and the two weren't even half way done with their route. As of yet, they had yet to be discovered by anyone or anything and likewise have yet to found anything out of place or a person at that. Such things didn't put Baba at ease however and only made him sustain his deathly level of focus. He had loyalty and actually even feelings of contentment for his village and the Land of Water and wouldn't want anyone to but these things safety at risk, nor any of its citizens. So silently and still undetected by anyone, Baba and his partner Thebe traversed high in the treetops on the outskirts of Miyako, but soon the Kirigakure Ninja had come to a halt. They were three in number positioned near the face of a cliff. With the Land of Water's Kirigakure being at war with the Land of Fire's Konohagakure, citizens had been told to only travel on the roads and not take to the wilderness. Ninja from the enemy nation could be lurking and the same warning was given to the children in their schools and things of that nature. It was no joke when it came to war after all.

Not sure if his ally Thebe had seen the three or not, regardless if he had, Baba who was leading by a single 3m gap in the two man formation, had raised a single hand silently through the air which stopped leveled to the side of his head. It was balled in a fist and had only moved through empty air, grazing no leaves or branches or any other anomalous obstructions. This signal was given immediately upon seeing the three and right after it was raised, three digits were released silently into the air to signify three bodies. "The Boogeyman creeps from the closet." Baba thought to himself as he gave a noiseless grin which revealed teeth. The two Kiri Nin had a decent view of the three, the only thing was that their backs were facing the two Kiri Ninja and there was a notable branch directly in front of the Baba as well. He was careful not to touch this branch or any of it's parts, leaves and all that. This branch was rich in healthy leaves which provided not only him, but his ally with cover too if one were looking from the perspective of the three near the cliff's edge. The way he had to look to see the three ninja's was through a small opening that only half his face could see through. This gave him vision of the suspicious people's full bodies. "Three males. Dark Brown hair one, White hair two, black hair three. All seem around average he-." These things were said in a low amount of decibels so only the nearby Thebe could hear them. Baba would also go on to log the apparel of each of the person's in his mind, an easy task for him. Being a mapmaker and artist his memory was photographic and nearly every feature of them he could see was safe in his mind.

Reasoning for his sentence being ended short however, was because the dark brown haired one began to talk. The two water ninja were at such a range where hearing them speak wasn't a challenge even with the drone of habitat carrying on. The range also was at a reasonable distance where incognito espionage was still able to be executable efficiently however. Baba couldn't believe what he was hearing. Talk of infiltration, cutting supply lines, fire, detailing of the village, the list went on, and instantly Baba knew they were enemies of the land. His mind was telling him so many things as they conversed, but yet he remained silent. He knew Thebe would be able to hear these things as well and would surely come to the same conclusion he had. The question for now was do they initiate attack now or wait? Baba would wait, he didn't know why he chose to do such a thing, but he did. Having heard they're plan, Baba began to devise one within his head and would whisper to Thebe again in a level of decibels only he would be able to perceive. "You take black. I'll be at bank with two." If either of the Kiri Nin were to finish off their assignment before the other, the whereabouts should be known considering the plan of the invaders was heard. And if either were to be defeated, the rendezvous point of the invaders was also heard, so the two Kiri Nin should be able to meet them there.

Just as he had finished speaking, again the invaders began to move. The dark brown haired one made a few movements, putting away binoculars and things to assumably rid him of traces of allegiance, then used one of the most practical jutsu there was for infiltration. The Transformation Jutsu. His guise was a woman whom Baba added to the mental file for the dark brown haired being. Ignoring the groping of oneself, Baba watched as the three moved from their positioning to begin their plan at their own pace and urgency. Having volunteered himself to manage two of the infiltrators, Baba would need to make a clone to keep track of them. His movements would be inaudible to them at their distance and since he was at their backside, he would be hidden from sight too, having waited for them to have descended the cliff to approach the village. Neither of the three's pathway consisted of backtracking into the Kiri Nin's vicinity, so the two would be safe from detection. "Best of luck to you Thebe." Though assumably in the clear, he kept his voice low, having left his perch in the tree that granted him visual immunity and having stopped at a place close to the previous positioning of the three. Needed seal(s) weaved and a perfect replica of himself was created next to him. Baba's eyes couldn't see his targets due to distance and obstructions, so it was a blessing the clone already knew the plan so they could both depart. It was also a blessing that they knew where the two targets were heading, so even then Baba would be able to meet them there, hopefully before the plan went down.

Safely he'd move to the Northern Entrance of the village. During his travel he noted that the evening would soon be transpiring to night, but amounts of sunlight were still present for those in the Land of Water to enjoy. His target was in sight in front of him now entering the village via the main road, he knew this for sure, cause he remembered not only what her rear looked like, but her breast in the clothing. With the healthy amount of traffic in the village, the fact he was shadowing from many meters away would be something that wasn't easily perceived. Then there was the fact the bank wasn't far from the entrance this one who was now a woman had chosen, so Baba had chance on his side. The walk being only five minutes and many others in the crowd seemed to branch off tot he bank when the target arrived. His eyes were looking at her chest as he followed, yes da breast, so even if she coined onto him he'd just be seen as a perv and what was the shame in that? The only slight road bump that was immediately smoothed out as it came was the fact the target stopped 10m away from the bank. But such things were easily addressed as he continued the direction he was walking without changing course and dipped into the Cafe the target had stopped near. A chair near a window was chosen and this window gave Baba view of the bank's full entrance and partial view -one side of the body- of the target. His eyes that were looking through the window were pinned on the rear-end that was facing his direction.

His clone was moving the direction the white haired one had gone. The movements of this little bugger were tracked in the grass he had traveled in, his immediate presence itself was unnoticed till he would eventually come to a halt. Undeniable footprints in the grass, it's blades folding and slowly rising up from the weight and pressure the infiltrator had pressed on them. The clone was careful to note the freshness of the footprints however, he'd hate for his cover to be blown. When he caught up with him, the clone was seeing the male scan the crowd from behind him, until he too performed the Henge Technique. If only this information could be given to the original Baba, but the clone couldn't afford dispelling itself, so it would shadow the male's movements from a fair distance many meters away. The guise the white haired male had taken was that of a man with round proportions, Baba had seen the original proceed inside the village prior to the male who stole his form's entrance. Luckily for Baba's clone who was camouflaged within the traffic of Miyako, the original had taken another route in an opposite direction of the bank. "Chaching." It thought to itself as it continued to follow.

Meanwhile the woman had moved inside the bank and Baba in the cafe would lose sight of the booty. He thought of what to do next, but within that time the second male infiltrator had moved inside the bank. Baba didn't know it was him of course, but Baba knew he was in there, because like others in the traffic of Miyako, his clone had entered a few people after. It was now up to his clone, but to be better prepared, Baba would move to a position outside the cafe in front of the bank entrance in a chair with a round table in front of him. He was of course focused on the bank that was ten meters away from him. One of the guards on duty spotting, but recognizing him. What through him off was the fact he had gave a smile to the clone when it entered the bank thinking it was him. When he also saw Baba on the outside, he knew something was up. Baba would beckon him over across the street and he would come. "What frequency are you guys on." Baba pointed to the radio piece in his ear and the man told him. "6." Baba nodded and adjusted his ear piece to be on the frequency the bank guards were on, but would first tell his clone to move to frequency six as well "Thank you." He simply said, sharing no details on the events unfolding. The guard would then return to the door and Baba's hand would again go to his radio. "Clone press your talk command as well, I need to know what's going on in there." He'd say this on both frequencies to ensure the message was received.

On the inside the clone had immediately and casually moved to take a seat among the other patrons of the bank, none of which being the guy the infiltrator was impersonating. The message from the Baba on the outside was heard during this movement to a seat. Hearing the commands of the original, the clone would move to "fix his hat". During this fixating, the clone changed his frequency and pressed his talk button so it stuck. This meant the happenings in the bank were being fed to Baba on the outside. These actions would look like the clone was digging in his ear, this ear wasn't int he direction of either targets, so it was fully concealed and should be believable. His hat also casted a shadow over his eyes making them hidden thanks to the lightning overhead in the bank. This also worked to hide the ear piece it had, not the shadow, but the hat itself. This shade on his face notified him of such a thing and would let him be able to safely look at his targets, both of which he recognized immediately and located immediately. The now fat one was loud and obnoxious and the woman had features that Baba's clone had an excuse to look at shamelessly. This one was at the side of the bank, assumably filling a piece of paper out. Baba wasn't sure what it was, because he doubted the character that spoke of infiltration had come all the way to Kirigakure to open an account at a bank. Maybe he had bad credit? Baba's clone would continue to watch and see faintly between the shuffle of bodies hand motion against the leg and upon clear sight again the paper being gone. It was pocketed, that much was deducible even without uninterrupted vision on the target's whole body. The end point was the receptionist desk, during the target's travel Baba was sure to keep a check on the other target as well, careful to not lose sight of him while putting most focus the target posed as a woman. It wasn't a good plan though, the clone needed to be able to clock both at once, so with that the entity stood nonchalantly and walked itself over to wherever the target who was now a fat guy was. Baba figured he'd play a game with him given he had chosen to make his disguise a copy of a preexisting being. The clone having knowledge of this, it could be exploited. "Heyyy Hey Jinchikiro!" He would say with a wave and smile as he walked over to him. Was this his name? Probably not, but did he know that that wasn't his disguises name? Of course not. "That one girl from the bar last night . . . the one with the big boobs. I know you're an assman, but geez." The target posed as a woman would have just begun saying her bit at the receptionist counter. The bank was fairly populated this evening right before closing, so there was a line. Unless she cut she would have had to wait. If she had cut then, she'd begin her bit at the counter when Baba first got within distance of Jinchikiro and said hello to him.

"I ran into her before I got in. She's at the cafe with this other girl with even bigger ones man." He used his hands to signify her significant breast size. "Come on!" The clone would move his hand towards the arm of Jinchikiro in attempt to grasp it in a friendly manner to lead him out the bank to meet the tig bitty vixens. As he would do so, if the other target whom he still had eyes on hadn't cut she'd be approaching to say her bit to Jinchikiro. The clone would be hoping to lead him outside however upon seeing her come. If she had cut, then Baba's clone would have cut out his last phrase and moved for the arm grab and actions that follow during the talk of breast. If the other target would say their words calling Jinchikiro "darling" and what not, Baba would reply. "Darling? Jinchi hasn't had a girl in years! He especially wouldn't like you, you only have the front, your back is eh, . . .default. Yeah Jinchi?" Baba's clone was trying to put on a good show and given the white haired infiltrator stole a preexisting appearance, Baba could write the story as he went. On the outside the real Baba was trying not to crack up, as were the guards.

Think I got it right
