The Mighty Jungle (P,NK)

Sura entered the territory that was known as the waterfall country. He would pass through the jungle first before he went to the gate. He was hoping that he would be able to track down miyu quite easily. He entered the jungle and noticed right away that it was thick in foliage. He felt a little uncomfortable as he entered the jungle for it might be a good place for thieves or bandits to jump him. He was not too concerned, but he decided to call upon the Spirit of the Guardian to his side just in case something were to attack him. The spirit presented itself as a blue glowing sphere that hovered around Sura. The sphere would follow Sura and keep up with his pace of speed floating around him constantly. The spirit spoke to Sura asking "You summoned me?" Sura responded "Yes I did, and this time for good reason. We are in a thick forest and possibility of a chance of a attack." The spirit responded "Understood." He continued walking through the forest for what seemed like an eternity since it was the same scenery all the time.

Sura kept a close eye at his surroundings and his adrenaline was at a controllable rate. This meant not too much but not too little. He was about to loop around a corner when he saw a bright light and then a man screaming. Sura darted toward the loop as another light showed and another man screamed. He looped around the corner just in time to see a old man throwing a kunai at another man. The kunai penetrated the man's back and killed him instantly. Sura realizing quickly that the old man saved the girl that seemed unconscious on the ground. Sura quickly realized it was Miyu that was the girl on the ground. Sura ran toward Miyu to check on her with the spirit sphere following. He noted the cuts on her arms and torso but they were not fatal wounds as he turned her over. Sura looked up noticing a horse drawn cart asked if they would not mind helping transport Miyu to a safer place. If they said yes then Sura would pick up the unconscious Miyu and put her in the cart.

The leader of Takigakure No Sato walks through the villages jungle, garbed in a black hooded jacket, along with white pants, and boots, as-well as his gourd filled with Osmium dust, resting on his shoulders through straps. As usual, he patrols the jungle himself, since he lacks the proper ninja to do so for him.

It is while walking that Saiga sees something odd, a boy walking through the jungle, and apparently talking to himself. Immediately classifying the boys behavior as suspicious, Saiga begins to follow him from behind, five meters to his right, taking extra caution as to not step on any twigs, and such, that would reveal his location. While following the boy, a poisonous snake hanging from a twig directly in front of Saiga, takes his attention away.

 It is during this short moment of distraction that a scream can be heard from in front of him, towards the location where the boy was last seen headed towards. Lifting his hand over his shoulder, Saiga removes the cork on his gourd, placing it in his right pocket. After this, he runs towards the location where the scream came from at full speed, arriving there in shorter than a second.

Upon arriving, this is the scene presented before him. There are three apparently deceased men, along with five civilians, though he is currently unaware of which village they come from. Instead of attacking the remaining people while unaware of the situation, he decides to promptly get to the bottom of whatever it is that is going on in his village. Walking into the open, Saiga stands ten meters away from both Miyu, and the Sura. "What's going on here?" This is said with much concern, and interest.

All the way from Shimagakure, the infamous peaceful man, Shingetsu, had tracked his lovingly diplomatic leader whom rivaled the generosity of Kim Jong Un. He was good at tracking; he did it all the time from his hunting in the jungles of his village.. Ah, Takigakure, a lovely place with few people. It truly was paradise. When he entered the village, not much seemed off which was pleasant, it was clear that Shimagakure were not yet aware of the brutality of Shingetsu's spinebusters, and that was good! Treaties were nice! He continued to follow the lovely leader into the jungle, seeing a new person not too long in, and his leader stalking him too, he followed both of them carefully, minding not to cause any disturbance in the nature that would alert them to his presence. He enjoyed being the big bulky guy that can punch people relatively hard. However, when the murders were commited with the screams being his guidance, he still remained stalking as he followed the leader and observed his leader being diplomatic, allowing himself to exit cover himself now as he looked down at the dead bodies that were around. "This certainly looks fun."

Really sorry about the misunderstanding, this thread is going to be a continuation from here and Sura didn't include some of the details of what would be seen in his post (because we didn't think anyone would invade, and I already knew what happened because I wrote it lol).

Basically, there are 3 dead bandits. One with a kunai in the head, two with strange burn wounds. There are also 5 'civilans'. The father (who just threw the kunai and is standing much closer to the body than Sura), his son (who is wounded and I guess laying on the ground) and the cart which has the mother, 16 year old daughter, and an infant inside of it (so there isn't anyone driving the cart when you enter the scene.

If anyone else had been there before, they were gone now, and this was all that currently remained.

These five people are still here, Sura asks them for help, and I never mentioned any of them running away in my topic. So they don't just randomly disappear for no reason O.o

Miyu remained unconscious as these events unfolded, having just passed out form chakra fatigue.

The old man had been a bit startled when another person appeared after the girl, wodnering if he would have to fight yet another group of people who meant harm to him and his family. But this boy seemed to be concerned with the health of his families savior, so he figured the boy was her friend and hopefully that meant he wasn't going to hurt anyone.

Yet another group of newcomers came though, little did the man know it was the leader of the country they were in alongside one of his Jounin.

When asked what happened, the man pointed to the bodies, and the girl, "Those men attacked us.... I'm guessing they assumed we had valuables they could steal. Me and my son," he now pointed to the young man bleeding on the ground, whose mother had gotten out of the cart to tend his wounds, "attempted to fight them, but it wasn't going well until that girl arrived to save us. She used some of ninja abilities I guess to defeat them, then that boy arrived."

Sura did not hear a answer from the man but noticed the horse drawn cart. He figured either way Miyu's unconscious body needed to be off of the ground. Once he picked up her body and started walking he had heard a mans voice from behind him. Sura turned his head slightly to see who it was, and about ten meters away stood a man with a gourd on his back. Sura figured by what the man was asking that he did not mean them any harm at this time. He also noticed as another stepped out of the jungle. Sura ignored the question as the old man explained the situation. It was best since Sura himself did not know exactly what had happened.

He laid Miyu's unconscious body on the cart and looked at her wounds more carefully just in case he had missed something. The spirit sphere still remained with him at all times following Sura around as he walked. He turned away from the cart facing towards the two strangers. He was leaning more to the thought that they were the village's ninja, but he did not know rank or anything. Sura had opted to let the old man finish his story, and wait to see what questions, comments, or concerns there were. He stayed silent until spoken to.

Saiga listens to the alleged story of the incident. Writing the situation off as minor, Saiga decides that his intervention is not needed. Looking back towards Shingetsu, Saiga decides to have him deal with this petty quarrel. Turning around, the man silently walks away. He had better things to do than this, as he passes Shingetsu, he speaks. "Settle this for me. I'll be inside the chambers if you need me." As he says this, he continues to walk past the man, casually placing the gourds cork back on top of it. It seems the young leader had gotten all riled up over nothing, well one would have to admit. It is not everyday you see a person talking to theirself. Unless interrupted, the man would continue out of the jungle, and arrive in his office once more.

[Exit.]

Welp, the jounin didn't say shit to the group of NPCs... I mean weary travelers. So they just left with the girl that saved them in the cart, and if the other guy that apparently knew her followed they'd be more than happy to have him along. The son would be put in the back with Miyu and the 3 woman, with the man sitting on the front with his hand son the reins and enough room for Sura to sit should he want to take a break from walking. The man was heading west, out of the waterfall Country.
