Mission:

The Summit had concluded and it was time for the Jugo and his comrade to make their way back to the Land of Lightning. Having just departed the city centre of the Tea Country, the duo quickly found themselves in an open area of natural earth that spanned 500 meters in every direction. There were scuff marks along the ground and signs of struggles which indicate an element of activity in this area. The Jugos eyes wondered as he muttered, “Keep close.” to the Deputy Kage. As it stood, both Satoru and Ichigo were in the centre of the 500 meter field and there wasn’t a single obstruction in sight. Both were clad in the Darkened Skies armor but they had their wits about them.

To the north, past the 500 meter point there was a large body of water. To the east and west, past the 500 meter point were large forests while 500 meters to the south there laid a decent sized mountain. As he stood, Satoru faced north, in an effort to spot the cause of the scuff marks but there wasn’t anything in sight. “You see anything?” he muttered to Ichigo.

A lilac eye hidden underneath the Darkened Skies Mk II armor scanned the area, a desolate place where both men found themselves surrounded by nothing more than natural earth. Ichigo and Satoru, at the center of it all with 500m around them in every direction. Past each point, north, east, west and south would be a large body of water, forests and a mountain respectively. With one of his dojutsu activated the Drunk remained on guard in case an unpleasant surprise decided to show up. "Nothing so far, the moment someone enters the 100m mark around us they won't be able to hide from us". Unless using something that concealed themselves from even the Byakugan of course.

Slowly moving a couple of meters to his left Ichigo created a safe distance of 5m between Satoru and himself in case a situation arose where both men had to act, avoiding to get in each other's way. "Even though we seem to be alone it won't hurt preparing as if we are to engage in battle", his distorted voice underneath the mask would suggest. Considering they were in an area unbeknownst to them it was better to be safe than sorry. While the Jugo faced north, Ichigo would be facing west, not that it mattered much since his lilac eye granted him 360-degree vision within 100m of their position. Perhaps the Deputy was mistaken but for some reason he had quite the ominous feeling, as if he expected something to happen. In which case he would react immediately.

Spoiler:

Ifour had been tracking Ichigo Sato for days now, and still had not found an opportunity to strike which was frustrating to say the least. Ifour was a hitman for hire and his target was the Deputy Kage of Kumogakure. Another shinobi within the village had sought out Ifour’s help in order to take out Ichigo so that they may have an opportunity to backfill his position upon the deputy departing from the world of the living. Ifour coughed. “How pathetic. To think a shinobi would pay me to kill someone from their own village is the reason why I do this job. But its been 4 days and I still havn’t had a chance to catch him alone… he’s been accompanied by some brat.” Ifour mulled over his options.
 
“I’ve already accepted the payment… I could run. No, I can’t do that- my reputation is on the line… I’ll never be able to get another job again if I don’t follow through. Alright, looks like I am going to have to face this one head on, but it doesn’t mean I should run in there guns blazing… I’ll devise a plan.”
 
Shaded by the thick forest 500M to the east of the duo was where Ifour was hiding. He ripped his shirt and made small cuts on his arms to recreate a scene as if he had been attacked. Ifour planned to catch Ichigo off guard so that he could initiate a surprise attack during the moment of vulnerability. This wasn’t the first time that this tactic had worked for Ifour, and he hoped that it wouldn’t be his last.
 
Now that the proper preparations had been made, it was time for Ifour to follow through with his plan. Ifour exited the tree line and did his best impression to limp in the direction of where the two were last scene. If his information was correct, the two would be traveling this route back to their homes and Ifour was sure to run into them.
 
Ifour came within 50M of the two and began to yelp for help. “H-help me! I’ve been attacked! Help!” Ifour called out to them. Ifour was approximately 5 foot 11 inches tall and about 40 years old. He was wearing normal commoners clothing which made it easy for him to fit in- nothing of which gave off the idea that he was a rouge ninja or a shinobi. “P-please help! I’ve been attacked!” Ifour would yell out once more, continuing to limp towards the shinobi. Ifour was careful to study their movements in the case that they attacked him without reason- for all he knew, these two could be rouge ninja themselves and not his respectable deputy marker.

The ominous feeling Ichigo felt during their walk got confirmed as he noticed an individual suddenly made his appearance coming from the eastern side of the area. The Drunk's lilac eye, safely hidden underneath his mask, had no trouble picking up on the presence the moment they showed up in his 360-degree vision. So far a distance of 50m separated the two groups, the Drunk waiting on the cry for help before slowly turning into the stranger's direction. Seconds ago his Jugo companion signaled him through a simple motion, both men agreeing not to immediately react in order to not raise any suspicion.

Now that the stranger had entered the 35m range, 30m from Satoru considering Ichigo was currently standing exactly 5m behind the Jugo, perfectly hidden behind the bodyguard's impressive stature, the moment for the Drunk arrived to carefully observe both the individual as well as their surroundings in case others were lurking around the area. As he did, lilac eye still a secret from the newcomer, a couple of things caught his attention, all which only raised the suspicions he already had. The cuts on his arms were shallow, perfectly placed almost as if they were caused with a purpose. Ichigo's first thought was "these were inflicted on himself", however the Deputy remained silent as he continued his observation.

Going by the stranger's story, that of being attacked, a few other points came to mind. The man was dressed as a commoner, why would a group of bandits attack a commoner and if so, why did they do such a poor man's job? Given his profession, that being the head of the medical institute, the Doctor realized all of it had to be an act. Supposedly a limb, but still able to close the distance at double Ichigo's speed? Higly unlikely. Although not a detective it wouldn't exactly be rocket science to figure out something was amiss, even more so taking into account a Kage summit was just finished, a gathering of high ranked shinobi who may or may not have ended up as a target for assassination.

Still at the same position, exactly 5m behind Satoru and 35m away from the stranger, Ichigo noticed how his companion had started striking up a conversation, in case the man replied he would then be put to a test which would decide the Kumogakure delegation's next course of action. Of course, Ichigo prepared to react to anything at anytime.

The brat that had been tailing Ichigo commanded Ifour to hault once he came within 30M, which he did. “M-my name is Ifour! Please you need to help me! M-my wife! She’s hurt bad in the woods!” Ifour pointed behind him while maintaining an exhausted and injured posture. “T-they ambushed us! Please! You’ve got to help us!”
 
The bray then asked Ifour which leg of his was injured and instructed him to jump on the opposite leg as high and as hard as he could. “Fucking kid.. what is this a circus?” Ifour thought to himself. “A-alright! It’s my left leg! I think it’s fractured!” Ifour called out to the duo, and then doing his best impression, would begin to balance on the opposite leg as hard as he could. Upon jumping, Ifour would let out a shriek “Ahh fuck!” and then plant his injured leg once more and begin to grab his shin with his opposite hand. “You see! Please we don’t have much time, they may still be in the forest!” Ifour would shout out.
 
If the two shinobi before him were honorable, they would rush to Ifour’s aid and once they turned their backs to him is when he would strike.

It appeared the stranger planned to keep up his act a little longer, the man agreeing to comply with Satoru's request of performing a jump. The Kumogakure delegation's suspicions were confirmed the second they witnessed the opposing individual's movement, the so called commoner jumping up into the air to an impressive height of 26.25 meters, a distance only trained martial artists were capable of reaching. A feat no ordinary people could achieve. Now that both men were certain they were dealing with a hostile threat there would be no reason to hold back, something the Jugo bodyguard realized all too well. 

As the old man reached the maximum height of 26.25 meters, the Storm Operative hands flew into action, forming a set of hand seals before some sort of aura manifested around the Jugo's body. The Drunk noticed the kunai within 3m of his current position to the west, knowing it had been thrown there for a reason. Ichigo watched how Satoru, after doing the necessary signs, selected the ground below the descending 40 year old, exactly 30 meters away. Having selected the centre point for his technique the Jugo would expand the forming swamp up to a range of 22 meters.

By the time the male finished descending the swamp would have fully expanded, if the stranger was unable to evade he would find himself stuck in the swamp and dragged below the surface. The Deputy kept watch, remaining on guard the entire time in case he needed to react to anything requiring him to do so, noticing his companion activated yet another technique. Through his Byakugan, the lilac eye still hidden underneath the mask, Ichigo saw how Satoru released a wave as the aura surrounded the pair, expanding up to a radius of 15 meters around the Jugo. The Drunk remained cautious the entire time, ready to react if necessary.

Ifour had made a grave mistake. Of course, this exertion of shinobi strength which propelled him to a height of approximately 26M into the air, would be a dead giveaway that he was not actually injured. Ifour reached the pinnacle of his ascension and as his momentum began to shift, Ifour would observe the brat that had accompanied Ichigo begin to motion his hands to perform a hand seal. A nasty trick to say the least, but Ifour would expect nothing less from a village shinobi- always playing the hero when they were just as grimy as him. Ifour’s sharingan would manifest at the completion of Satoru’s first hand seal. As Satoru completed the remained of his handseals, Ifour would be pointing his feet and his body would become slightly angeled at 45 degrees and his decent back towards the earth would begin to change from a straight drop to an angled path back towards the Earth. Below Ifour, a change in the ground surface would occur and Ifour knew it must have been due to the brats jutsu. Ifours trajectory would now place him 5M closer to the duo from where his ascent original began and when he reached the 21M mark from the ground and 25M away from the duo, Ifour’s sharingan would begin to glow, and his chakra and speed would become enhanced. With his keen eyesight, Ifour would select a location in front of him, 20M’s from his current position, on the ground. In a flash of light, Ifour would disappear from his current location and reappear once more on the ground, approximately 10M away from the duo and 3M from the perimeter of the swamp that Satoru had created.
 
Upon appearing at this new location, Ifour select a point between the duo and himself, 3 meters in front of where Satoru was standing and 5 meters above the ground, and at this point of origin, a black sphere would spawn and begin to expand with intentions of devouring his targets.
 
As the sphere expanded, Ifour would begin to backpedal for 2M backwards, putting him 12M away from Satoru, and 9M from where the sphere originated.
