When Lightning Strikes A Tree

Mon Apr 23, 2018 3:20 pm

Mission Assignment:

All of his ninja tools were intact. His shinobi headband was tied tightly to hold up his dreadlocks in a ponytail, and his headphones were secured on top of his head playing a motivational song. He was in the mood to get pumped up for one of his hardest mission assignments, yet. He felt a sense of anxiety in his stomach. Could he handle such a mission without Kinzoku sensei? Or comrades that he knew he could trust with his life, like Higuto kun or Jason kun? He felt guilty for a moment; he remembered feeling surprised and uneasy when he heard the details of the mission and who he would be assigned along with. Allegro stood dutifully and silent as usual as the message was delivered to him. The task was to be the bodyguards to a Fire Nation VIP. The Feudal Lord is traveling to the Hidden Cloud village to determine if there can be a peace treaty established between their respective shinobi villages. There were strict orders not to cause a scene that might insight a war between nations. The secretary from the assignment office seemed to be especially stern as she explained this part to Allegro, who had earned somewhat of a reputation for going to the extreme to accomplish his objectives. The ninja chucked nervously as he bowed to acknowledged that he understood. The smile would soon fade as the gravity of his mission sobered his thoughts. He raised a half tiger seal, and a gust of wind blurred his figure out of view while scattering a mess of leaves. The Uzumaki had vanished.

The boy would reappear at the gates of the Leaf village, the agreed meeting location before the start of the mission. Allegro would crank up his music if he was the first to arrive. While he waited for the rest to gather, he would open a scroll that detailed the jutsu he was currently working on. He had lifted the scroll from a certain office somewhere in the village, and certainly had some sensitive information regarding the village’s hidden jutsu. The boy had a passion for fuinjutsu, and he also knew that he would have to improve his skills in order to shine in the Chuunin exams. As he read, he wondered how many would gather to see the exams. He fantasized about his very first large audience. It would be the opportune time to deliver a marvelous performance that would captivate the masses. He was going to become a star, whether he became a chuunin or not. Unlike his performances in the five star restaurant out in Tanzaku town, where he usually set the mood with his jazzy songs and scatting, he would finally be able to rock out as loud as he wanted. The ninja did not speak very often, in fact most people who don’t know him well assume him to be completely mute. However, the truth is, the Uzumaki likes to save his precious voice for moments when it is truly needed. Singing and rocking out was pretty high on his priority list for his voice.

Before he got too carried away with his fantasy, he refocused his attention to looking out for Yensung Aburame, his team captain. He was happy to be paired with the dwarf of a man. Every time he encounters Yensung sensei within the village walls, he is impressed by the man’s skill with genjutsu and his unmatched durability. It was no wonder why he was chosen to lead an important mission for protecting a VIP. Even Allegro’s strongest techniques barely put a scratch on his smallish figure. The Uzumaki was a budding fuinjutsu specialist, which involved barrier arts. He naturally enjoyed missions that involved protecting a client, as it gave him an opportunity to excel as a barrier user. He took a deep breathe and mentally prepared himself to be mentally sharp on this mission. Finally, he turned his head after his sensitive ears picked up a sound in the distance. Someone was approaching...

Akane was in the process of getting her hair done after having taken a shower and having herself a bowl of cereal. Today was yet another mission day for her as she had been told that it was going to be a hard one, one of the same difficulty and rank that she had taken on a while ago, as she would also be working with a familiar face of that mission along with two faces she had yet to meet. This excited her as meeting new ninja on the field always brought a bit of pep in her step. From what she had learned they were supposed to both be of the same clan though she hadn't been made aware of which clan they were from. She finished her hair quickly before making certain that there weren't any deficiencies with her weapon setup or clothing as she grabbed her equipment, backpack containing her fuma shurikens, as she hefted it over her shoulders and made her way out the door of her home. She locked it behind her and gave a look towards the village gates which were a good trek away from her position as she took a deep breath and began to hop along the rooftops of the nearby houses and buildings towards the gates.

Upon making it to the village gates she noticed Allegro was already there as she hopped off of the rooftop she had noticed this from and walked over to where he was standing. In all honesty she didn't know much of Allegro apart from what she was able to deduce from the one mission she had from him but she had the feeling he was trustworthy and a nice guy at heart. She would give a small wave as she stopped a few meters short and took off her backpack in order to give her shoulders a rest from how heavy the shurikens were. "Hi! Sorry to keep you waiting. I thought I'd pack up some things for the trip like snacks and such." She would fumble in her pack while pulling out plastic wrapped sandwiches which she proudly presented to Allegro. "Enough ham sandwiches to last us the trip as well as enough to get us through any breaks we may get to have. If you aren't particularly fond of ham I have PB&J as well as cooked salmon." She didn't know what her teammates would like but she made certain she brought food to be able to satisfy any taste.

Cho was leaving the village on an important mission with her mentor, Yensung Aburame. The old man was finally fulfilling his promise to her to take her under his wing and groom her to be the next heir to the clan, as was destined for her upon her birth. She had only gone on a few lower ranked missions and almost immediately became bored. She demanded that she be recruited for higher caliber missions that would help her grow richer and stronger. The incredibly persuasive kunoichi had even managed to convince the Leaf Shinobi council to recommend her for the Chuunin exams, when she only just recently graduated from the ninja academy. Strength and Wealth were two of her core ideals thats drove her forward as a shinobi. In fact, for the most part, this was all that concerned her. The trouble with this was, she lacked experience. She was in such a hurry to become a higher ranked shinobi, that she often cut shortcuts on her missions and other tasks as a ninja. She was in need of guidance. Someone would have to set her on the right path and teach her what it means to be a shinobi, and the right way to go about accomplishing her ideals. Otherwise, who knows what dark path would lie ahead for the Aburame…

For this mission, which would be located outside the village gates, Cho wore a black cloak and hood over her slim fitting jumpsuit with the cropped top. She enjoyed the maneuverability in her regular attire, however she knew that she was carrying the pride and joy of the Aburame clan within her, her kekkei genkai. She was taught to protect the secrets of the clan when outside the village. Leaking the hidden jutsu of her chain could mean danger for the entire Leaf village. If put into the wrong hands, her insects could be used to kill thousands of people in a short amount of time. Cho passed her reflection in the water as she headed towards the gate of the Leaf village. Her face was just barely visible under the shade of her cloak. She hated that she had to resort to this. Hiding the very body that she worked so hard to keep healthy and in shape. But, she also had respect for the tradition. Her kekkei genkai was what would one day make her the strongest in her clan. Her meal ticket.

As she approached, she recognized Allegro Uzumaki and the other genin whom she had never met. Her first mission was carried out alongside Allegro as her senior, and the two made quick work of it. She thought he was rather mysterious, as he almost never talked. Though, the kunoichi later learned why that is. His voice was literally explosive. When he adds chakra to his voice, it can be heard from miles away, as if he had some kind of microphone system built in his vocal chords. On the other hand, Akane Uchiha, Cho recalled her name to be, seemed to be unfazed by the assignment to an A ranked mission as a genin. She had only been mildly familiar with the other Leaf native clan that was said to posses the most potent hidden jutsu in the village. Rarely any of the Uchiha actually ever reached that power, however, and so the name struck no fear in her heart when she was assigned. Perhaps throughout the course of this mission, Cho would learn that the Uchiha were to be at least respected. By the time Cho entered the scene, Akane was presenting snacks that she had prepared for the journey. A thoughtful gesture, one that Cho would never have considered herself.

“Hey. I’m Chō Aburame, I don’t think we’ve officially met yet, Akane. Come to think of it, I never knew we had this many kunoichi in the village. You must be strong if you’ve been assigned to this mission…”

Cho would look up into the eyes of the Uchiha to gauge her nerve. There was a grin on her face, curious to see how she would answer. She did not bother speaking to Allegro directly, because he most likely would not reply. She was starting to get used to him just being there.

(yen wearing red tie. passive +25 damage reduction)

His single eye had a hint of red to them. He was once again on some sleep. About 7 hours. The night before he spent his time at the graves of his late wife and two children. The limitless possibilities were now merely lost possibilities. He had dreamed the late son surpassed him and he was proud with a grey beard. Sal was there the grey mane long hair would with control with his werewolf form turning to a grey wolf. It was a dream worth millions. Till he sighed and awoke in the house alone.

The ghosts of his dreams but mere whisps of his memory. locked away for the moment being. There is something subtle about the peace that ensures the world that everything goes right. Some say it was the air and the sunlight. others would say that it was merely the joy that a person holds. Yet to yen this was gone. The stability he once held was slipping like the icy slopes that hung above. Where there was the triumphed smile now was a lost gaze determined to let the duty of a shinobi take and keep himself busy. All hidden behind the dark cloak on his body. The trademark eye patch, and his jouninn jacket hidden behind a black shirt the simple sandles, the chakra charm resting under his jouninn jacket thus behind the charm was a sleek red tie. Finally a pair of black slacks. A black hat of a solid rim simply rested on his dark hair yet his single eye swam with mere determination.

He had simply glanced at the mission at hand as it was an escort. The job was simple and as much good as done. The foes that would even dare attempt to try to stop him. from his job or endanger the occupants of the mission would simply be the subject of his displeasure and ultimately. His wrath.

In silence he headed out the village. the slight red gone from his eyes as his black cloak slipped like darkness across the ground till he spotted the geninn and nodded quietly towards them. a mission required a slightly diffrent mindset so there was not much to worry over. the most predominate chakra signature was allegro which he quietly walked passed.

"you three have a simple job. protect this host. I will need you each to take turns scouting out ahead. in the mean time anyone by the host will be taking a stand of keeping eye's ears and instincts on the look out. A head like this will have people seeking them. So you best know your training thus far has prepared you for doing whatever it takes to ensure the safety of the team and host. but then making sure that if anything occurs. You will leave me on my orders and complete the mission. Am i understood? no if's, no but's."

yen stated with a finality in his voice to not be questioned. softening up he smiled and glanced at the geninn.

"each of you will now extend a hand to me and i will mark you with one of my insects. the bite has an ordorless scent to normal humans, but my insects it's predominate. If caught or lost i will be able to find you. Am i understood? now extend hands."

it was not the complete truth yen would admit but should the genin extend their hand yen would send one kilshiku out to bite each hand of the genin. then the kilshiku would return. The bite would itch but he explained it to the escort whom had 3 bites on their body the same lie. Thus the bites would cause the at the moment unnoticeable chakra bleeding effect. Which his kilshiku could follow for about two miles. yet yen would not state this openly why should he. with each individuals distinct chakra scent yen would know where they would be headed as he would make it a point to play decoy if anything.

but for safety yen was cleaver as he looked up at allegro and motioned him to lend an ear.

"think you have a way to place something around the escorts traveling compartment. this may ensure that even should we fall the induvidual is safe and secured."

The Uzumaki had finished his reading by the time the other genin assigned to this mission began to arrive. First after him was Akane, a kunoichi that Allegro was unacquainted with. She was fair in appearance, and seemed gentle in nature. Her hair was fashioned in a way that accented her beauty, which of course the boy could appreciate. He only hoped she knew that beauty and style was not a factor that would help the team complete the mission. Something told him that they all would need to be especially focused on this mission, given its nature. Nonetheless, Allegro would smile, giving her a warm, silent welcome. The gravity of today’s mission was no excuse to be rude to a fellow Leaf ninja. Akane did not formally introduce herself, but it was not necessary. Allegro read about her briefly in the mission debriefing scroll. A kunoichi from the Uchiha clan. He had never encountered the abilities of the notorious clan with his own eyes, save for Kenjiro who he was tasked on a mission alongside. What he did know however, was their tendency to be overconfident. Upon witnessing the thoughtful gesture of preparing snacks and nourishment for their journey, Allegro was overjoyed to see that this was apparently not the case with Akane. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply in appreciation to her kind gesture. When he returned to his upright position, Cho Aburame had arrived on the scene, reporting to duty.

Unlike Akane, Cho seemed to be especially serious today. Was she perhaps nervous about her first mission of this rank? It would certainly be understandable, as Allegro himself was experiencing something similar. He raised an eyebrow at her choice in attire for the mission. Unlike her typical getup, she was dressed in all black, and wore a hood that covered her face from the light. It was almost the polar opposite to her outfit which revealed her toned arms, abdomen and legs. She did, however, look a lot more like the other Aburame he had encountered so far, who seemed to always be swaddled up in conservative clothing like a cocoon. Even his own teammate Higuto could only rarely be seen without his hood on. Allegro would greet Cho in the same manner with a smile. The look in his eyes would test Cho’s spirit. He could tell she was ready to put their hard training from the other day to good use on today’s mission assignment. They had both grown substantially. The exchange was brief however, as Cho focused her attention quickly on Akane. Girls will be girls, he supposed.

Finally, the team leader, Yensung sensei was last to arrive on the scene. The man of short stature seemed especially somber today, as if something was haunting his very soul. Allegro was not quite used to seeing him like this, and naturally wondered if something was bothering him. Allegro had only seen Yensung while tending to his garden, which he loved, or testing his strength. Perhaps the preliminary assessment Yensung sensei gave him, Cho, Higuto, Shinoskay, and Feza was a means to determine if they were truly worth taking the Chuunin exams that were quickly approaching in less than a month. His words were brief and to the point. He was especially clear that the genin were to follow his every order to the tee. Allegro had a serious look on his face and nodded his head in compliance. He extended his arm to receive a tracking beetle from the Aburame. He was already quite familiar with this tactic thanks to Higuto. During the interaction, Allegro would secretly place a Mark Seal of Yensung, so that the tracking could work both ways. One could never be too careful on a mission of this caliber. Moments later, Allegro could hear their client approaching the gates in the distance from within Konohagakure. He could hear the sound of two people arguing. Just as Allegro turned to face their client, Yensung gestured for Allegro to lower himself so that he was within earshot of Yensung’s whisper.

"think you have a way to place something around the escorts traveling compartment. this may ensure that even should we fall the induvidual is safe and secured.”

Allegro nodded his head and assured him that he would take care of it. This type of mission, which involved guarding and protecting someone, was something of a specialty for Allegro. This was without a doubt the reason Allegro was selected for the mission. Fuinjutsu and the barrier arts were an integral part of the Leaf Village, and Allegro dreamed of one day being the master fuinjutsu specialist that oversees the barrier that protects the entire village. However, before he could protect the entire village, he would have to prove himself by protecting one man. The man who was approaching the squad of ninja as we speak. Allegro would observe their client carefully, learning all he could about the person he was tasked with guarding with his very life.

===========================================

Our Client:
When Lightning Strikes A Tree 782d6510

Ayame approached the Village gates from within a small litter vehicle, with four burly men carrying the rectangular cart from each of its four corners. The litter was big enough hold two people from the looks of it, and as they drew closer, it would be revealed that there were indeed two people inside. The daimyo wore expensive clothing, including the traditional headdress worn by the daimyo of every nation. The woman directly across from him in the tiny coop of a carriage was his sister, Shiori. She was dripping from head to toe in jewels and was fanning herself as if she could not be bothered. The two of them had been bickering senselessly as they made their way towards the gate. Upon arriving at the gates beside Yensung and the genin, Ayame would slide open the small door compartment and address Yensung, who was clearly the leader of the pack with his flak jacket on.

“There you are. We must make hast towards the Land of Lightning immediately! I cannot bear to spend another second cooped up with this dreadful wench any longer! I do not know why the Fire Nation council insisted that she attend in the first place. I am fully capable of bringing this nation to peace with the Cloud village BY MYSELF! There is no need for an alternative, and such a poor alternative at that.”

The man had a clearly competitive nature, especially when it came to his sister. The two were close in age, with Ayame being just a year older. While Ayame was logically the heir to Lordship because of his seniority, it was well known in the Fire Nation that Shiori was a better leader and politician. She was something of a celebrity in the Fire Nation, and most people would recognize her before Ayame, the man who actually held the prestigious title. Nothing infuriated Ayame more. This would make for an interesting dynamic on this mission. Whomever had the gall to attack this caravan heading to the Hidden Cloud village; was their target the actual Feudal Lord? Or was it his more popular, younger sister?

Unless Yensung had something to say in response, Ayame would shut the sliding door of the caravan to return to his senseless bickering with his sister at the top of his lungs. This would cue the henchmen pulling the litter along to proceed through the village gates and towards the Land of Lightning. Mission Start!

Akane put all the snacks that she had shown Cho, Allegro, and Yen back in her pack as she picked it up and placed it over her shoulders again while Cho seemed to take an interest in the Uchiha by getting close and giving her a compliment over her strength. Akane didn't know whether or not it was possibly a test to see how she, the Uchiha stranger, would react or if it was a genuine assessment. Regardless Akane shrugged and scratched her head. "I certainly would love to think so. Though this is my first A rank mission so of course I have some nerves going through. But I promise you won't be disappointed, sir." She would address Yen upon saying this with a bow as she adjusted the straps of her backpack in order to make certain it wouldn't slip off. She had read the report of their mission and also who she would be travelling with: Two Aburame and one Uzumaki. She knew not a one of them which made her question how they'd be able to function best as a team. If ever they were in trouble of an ambush she could most certainly be the target to go after in that regard.

Yen told them what their mission was with authority as she listened to what he had to say with nods and quiet attention... That was until he asked them all to hold out their hands for one of his insects to bite them. "Um... Wait, what? Why does your insect need to bite me? I know an Aburame who once showed me that, with his kikaichu, he could just place a... female, I believe? Anyway he said he could put a female kikaichu on me and that would allow him to keep track of her. Bite free... Not that I'm questioning your methods. Just... I kinda really hate bugs that bite." It was one of her fears, insects in general, and finding out that one of the ways Yen was going to be able to keep track of her was going to be through biting her didn't please her at all. She would keep her hand away from Yen for the time being as to rely on whatever Allegro's method that Yen questioned him about as a way of keeping on track.

It was here that she took notice of a group of four people carrying someone approaching them as she watched them walk up to them so that she could get a better look. She never really understood these types of vehicles. She always viewed anyone who used them as narcissists of some kind that always thought a BIT too highly of themselves. Upon arriving she saw the four stop in front of them as the door of their vehicle slid open and she saw a man and a woman inside. She watched as the... curious looking man started barking insults at the girl beside him and her group leader as she put a small smile on to cover up the rage she felt from hearing him say such things. This was the one they were supposed to be guarding, after all, which meant she needed to keep her cool so as not to upset him. She was, however, hoping that the mission would be a quick one: get him to his destination, say goodbyes and farewells, and get out of there. More than likely it wouldn't be but she would buck up and continue nonetheless. Upon him finishing speaking to Yensung and, whether or not Yensung had anything to say afterwards, she saw him close his door and made the men carrying him continue where they left off. She would wait for someone to say anything before she followed in order to begin her mission.

(WC 1,061/2,000)

Wed May 02, 2018 1:09 pm

Cho found Akane's response intriguing. The girl seemed to be soft natured, and friendly unlike other kunoichi she had encountered in the village. She eased up on Akane and expressed her satisfaction with her answer. "This is my first A ranked mission too. Lets make it a good one!" She directed her attention to Yensung Aburame soon after Akane began to address him. Almost reflexively, Cho crossed her arms and pouted her lip once Yensung began giving directions on how today's mission would run under his leadership. She was already quite used to the old man's strict rules, due to being his adoptive daughter. The man was overprotective, and that was an understatement. She figured it must be the side effect of losing someone or multiple people that he held dear to his heart. The man suffered from his loss and it was taking a toll on him with each day. 'How weak...' she thought to herself. 'A real ninja does not dwell on the past or on the fallen. Shinobi die every day...'

Next, Yensung began to explain how his insects worked so that he could tract each of their whereabouts in the event that the group got split up. Akane, who had an apparent distaste for insect bites, quickly interjected. Cho would allow Yensung to further explain, since he was the elder Aburame. Allegro seemed to understand the situation completely, and seemed to have some insight on how her clan's hidden jutsu worked. Cho was not surprised, Allegro was quite skilled in combat and strategy, so he could probably deduce how most jutsu worked in a matter of moments. There was no need for Yensung to mark Cho with an insect, largely because she was an Aburame herself. The females that lived within her released the same pheromone that can be tracked by other Aburame trained insects. Moreover, if a foreign insect attempted to find shelter in her nest, the other insects would surely kill it immediately. There was no room for foreigners in her insect hive.

So, instead, Cho took a few steps away from the group, and looked off into the distance within the village. She could hear the sound of arguing approaching, just like Allegro had. As the vehicle carrying the Feudal Lord drew closer, Cho's hand raised to her face so that she could close her own mouth. The muscular men hauling the cart in unison seemed to distract her for just a second. This would be short-lived, however. The sound of the bickering from inside the cart would raise one her eyebrows in curiosity. When the occupants within the cart revealed themselves to be her clients for the day, Cho was quite surprised. The daimyo was someone she had never met before a day in her life, and after hearing his disgusting remarks, she did not care to. However, when she saw Shiori sitting across from him, she had instantly become star struck. Shiori was a positive role model for all women in the village. She was a great leader, beautiful both physically and mentally, and she was the image of style here in the Fire Country.

After the words the daimyo spoke sunk into Cho's mind, a vein formed on her forehead while rage swelled inside her. She used one hand to roll up the sleeve of the other hand as she took a few large stomps forward. "You pig! I'll kill you if you ever speak of Shiori sama like that again!!" If someone was not quick to hold Cho back, the team would fail the mission of protecting the Feudal Lord before they even left the village. If it was not already quite clear, Cho had already developed a distaste for their client. I mean, what kind of compassionate leader rides around on the backs of servants? It was disgusting to say the least. The thought of risking her own life to save the life of a man like this made Cho sick to her stomach. All the ryo in the world was not worth it. Assuming that someone did successfully hold her back from mauling the man they were tasked to protect, Cho would eventually snatch her arm back from whomever was holding her back and recompose herself. She took a deep breathe and turned around so that she was facing the village gates. She would fold her arms and say.

"Can we get going already?"

So the mission looked lively per say. The first girl akane seemed to get a bit squeamish at his request. Fear of bugs much greater then the fear of the fate of the village? Not on his watch. Now that yen felt the drive of a mission he merely smiled at the girl and spoke plainly as the cartridge approached. yet still out of earshot for the majority of the geninn as it was notable for the jouninn to keep in mind the distance of everyone. For everyone’s sake. The grunting of the men were well in his experienced honed sense of hearing, as were the squabbling of the girl by the sounds of it still he sighed mentally.

mission madness the complaining and woes. great. At least everyone is here and accounted for.

yen thought as he addressed the girl who was in protest to being tracked.

"you fear bugs more then what happens to the village. Prioritize our clients, village, yourself and your allies. The bugs mean nothing to fear, and will assure upon the dangers of capture or worse, i will find and save you. Your mind should be ready to do what it6 takes now and henceforth... "

yen stated sternly yet his face softened to a glance of understanding and he warmed up slightly.

"I understand your fear. But if anything be glad i am being straight forward. This is my job as leader to make sure we all are safe and our client. For this we must be willing to go past our fears, and enhance our sacrifices. One less death and one less squad lost. It is my motto each mission. To make sure we return home. Understand that."

(To thoes who accepted you get 1 kilshiku bite)

the cartridge would arrive as yen would simply bow to the clients. The status of those in the high court meant6 very little to yen personally. Simply because while they still bled the same as himself and any other individual. They were as mortal as he was. The very idea was the reason why yen would hold his toungh. Knowing that to cause an uproar would simply lead to much harsher consequences to the village. So as the man spoke he made sure that all of the geninn were listening. Then he noted that cho was already getting the act of getting nearly out of line. He face seemed to betray her emotion. Then here was the fact that she was rolling up her sleeves. All noted way before the self-righteous man would notice. As he was full of himself.

" Ah! I am glad you are willing to roll up your sleeves for the hard work cho. First patrol will be you. Keep me informed. The first leg of our trip is important. You must not let any details slip. I will be positioned by the cartridge and stay nearby. We will make sure to keep this nice and smooth. For safety allegro take the rear and watch the flanks and the back. Akane you will take the top of the carridge with myself."

yen would say interrupting cho verbally and the man would by the time he was done setting everything up be inside the traveling compartment. With a lift of his finger to the men to wait a second yen would then preform the clone handsign and hence create 2 shadow clones. Each one one appear around yen and knowing the mission at hand they were ready. The greater of the techniques as they knew they were mere coy’s and the manner of informing yen of the dangers at hand. So they would play as the deterent for an attackers and ambushes. Clone #2 would be on top of the carridge and take a seat behind the men the four men acting like a stage coach driver tilting his hat forward but like clone one their chakra sensory will be on high alert., Clone #1 would head to the back. (shadow clones: health stat: 50 a piece, rest of stats, and items/ armor the same, each clone has 459 ap in total.)
As Clone #1 being in the back with allegro. The clone would then weave a simple handseal for the transformation jutsu. Assuming the appearance of a figure in a black loose garb. The flak jacket was apparent as his eye patch was now hidden under a nice familiar straw hat. (clone #1 uses transformation technique)

“I will be around as you can see,”

so as yen stated this. He would begin sinking under the ground thanks to the hiding like mole technique. With this way he could monitor the geninn and thanks to chakra sensory, his kilshiku ability to smell chakra, and the technique it’s self he would position himself 20 meters under the carridge. The clones were his eyes and ears as were the geninn. This making certain should danger arrive yen would have adequate time to prepare, and strike back. (hiding like mole: power 50 (chakra scaling +10 from the advance infusion skil) speed:40)

With the clones set up and yen now under ground and traveling through the earth he would be able to keep up and accurately act. The question as of now. What dangers would lurk ahead? This would be a large crufix of yens idea for a mission as the same as he normally did. Even when he left suna with love he kept the shadow clones for look out. With the geninn it was that much easier. Thanks to the clones being there for

It was not before long that a caravan arrived carrying their client. Allegro raised an eyebrow at the sight of the servants carrying the carriage with great strength, and at the sound of the arguing happening inside the vehicle. Allegro sighed, knowing that drama was about to unfold. He was starting to realize that Hokage sama was assigning him to more and more missions with complicated logistics in them. A new challenge for a new day, he supposed. As the feudal lord made his dramatic opening introduction, Allegro decided he did not care to dig too deep into the social dynamic between he and his sister. Allegro could clearly see that the two liked to argue, but as long as it did not interfere with the mission, he could just drown out the noise with the music from his headphones.

To make matters worse, it seemed that his comrade, Cho was doing the exact opposite of him. Instead of voided herself of emotion as per the shinobi rules and code, she was getting quite stirred up. The kunoichi was rolling up her sleeves in disgust at the Feudal lord’s disposition towards his own sister. The pure misogyny in his words was enough to make Cho want to kill the client before the mission even started. As she raced forward, Allegro placed one hand on a scroll tucked in a horizontal holster on his backside. He stood at the ready, though he would soon see that Yensung sensei would handle it. He began to detail the security strategy and the formations they would take. Allegro had a smile on his face after realizing he had been trusted with guarding the rear flank. Yensung had given him the specific task of supporting him in being a defensive force against any enemy. He also respected his decision to make Cho the scout. Clearly she needed to be distanced from the client for a while, and moreover, Allegro had the opportunity to witness her kekkei genkai, and knew it would be perfect for sentry and reconnaissance. The Uzumaki removed his scroll from its holster and held it in between his hands as he formed the tiger seal and began to peel the scroll open. He would twirl it about overhead until a plume of white smoke appeared and a cool looking guitar appeared from thin air. Allegro returned the scroll to its pouch with one hand while the other hand grabbed the guitar by its next. His role in this mission was established, and everyone was ready to depart, including the pallbearers. Allegro gave a mighty strum to his guitar as he spoke with conviction, and for the first time today.

“Let’s Rock And Rollll~ ♫”

When the caravan finally set out on their path, Allegro would play an uplifting traveling tune that would soothe even the likes of the irritable Feudal Lord and his sister. He played while Yensung set up his traps in case they encounter any enemies along the way. Unknown to the inexperienced, Allegro was already doing much of the same. In fact, an amateur would be right to think that playing music like that while on an important mission would do nothing except attract enemies. However, the same musical notes he plucked in ripples and riffs were coated in chakra. The sound would cast an illusion on every not in the caravan so that no matter who followed the sound of the music, they would only arrive to discover more trees and an empty road. Any assailants would be on an endless quest to find the source of Allegro’s captivating melodies. This illusionary ballad was exactly what made Allegro interested in genjutsu and compelled him to seek out Yensung as a mentor.

The genin would play patiently like a spider that had just finished spinning a masterpiece of a web. He observed his surroundings carefully and trusted that his teammates were doing the same.

Akane felt more than a little guilty to Yen's words about her fear of being bitten by his insect. However, in truth, she was being cautious. He had made no mention of whether or not the effects of the bite would be permanent and, therefore, if he would be able to keep track of where she was forever. She didn't even know what a Kilshiku was as the only Aburame she knew about used something called a Kikaichu insect. Was it a possibility that all Aburame didn't operate on the same insect? She would bow before Yen before standing straight.

"I'm sorry, sir. I can promise you I'm not wanting to put the village in any kind of danger and I have no plans of disobeying any orders you hash out in our mission. I'm just incredibly squeamish on something you're presenting to me that I don't know anything about and, frankly, you're not giving much in detail about either. I don't know if this bite will heal over time or... if it's going to affect my chakra and get in the way of my performance in some way or... I don't know."

She would leave that response in the air as the meeting with Ayame. She was... quite surprised by the reaction Cho gave to Ayame as she gave a nervous laugh and quickly grabbed her arms while trying to calm her down.

"Cho, this man is our escort. We shouldn't be getting in his face and threatening to hurt him when that's the opposite of what we're supposed to be doing."

She would grab Cho at her top speed and keep a hold of her with enough strength to restrain her while not hurting her. If she calmed down Akane would then let her go, one hand on her shoulder to make certain she didn't do anything drastic, as she offered Ayame a bow as well.

"Allow me to offer both me and my partner's apologies, sir. We'll be certain you get to where you need to quickly and safely."

She would keep her hand on Cho until the cart began to move again before taking her hand off Cho's shoulder and beginning her travels with her team to protect the cart. Being her first very difficult mission she wanted to take extra precautions in their journey as, while walking, she closed her eyes for a few moments before opening them to reveal her Sharingan. Allegro had started to play a tune from his guitar during this time as her eyes kept track of the Genjutsu coming from the strings. She found this interesting as it was the first time she'd ever seen a Genjutsu done in such a bizarre fashion. Nevertheless it was a welcome kind of interesting and would better serve to help them along while she kept a watchful eye with her special crimson eyes.

She would wait a few minutes while walking before looking at everyone and smiling, Sharingan activated the entire time, as she brought her backpack around that carried the snacks she had made.

"Don't forget, guys! I made sandwiches so if you're hungry let me know!"
