Journey to the east

The ushitora journeyed to the rice field in an aim to reach a country where he has never been. Tanbogakure has been nothing but peaceful ever since he got here. Sakurai would wish he could stay more but his goals require him to move from the village. The crimson head would now head out to kumogakure, a village he had never been to before, the only thing guiding him in this journey are, his world map and compass. He had read about kumogakure in a book during his stay in tanbogakure. The adventurous boy would not stop until he had reach his destination.

The sun was smiling brightly as the boy’s feet walked across the field. The horned master was dressed in his usual attire; a red cloak, red pant and red shinobi sandal. The ushitora would carry a ninja bag across his body, in which he kept all his items and equipment. Sakurai has only travelled a few distance and has not really felt the heat pf the journey. Very soon, the poor boy is liking to feel strains and pain in some parts of his body due to prolong walking. Had he known level ninjutsu, he could have created a bird or something to help and ease his journey. The ushitora does not have a summoning contract either, and as result, is left all by himself. A summon animal could have helped him move faster in this case. His journey would not be without challenges, as there are bandits everywhere seeking whom to devour. The Ushitora would be keen about his environment, knowing fully well that he is all he has got. The crimson haired is not about to let some bandits steal from him. He has never had anything been stolen from him and he would not let anyone steal from him.

As he journeyed on, the crimson haired could hear some footsteps approaching in the amidst of the forest. His surrounding was a full blown forest with trees of varying heights. Out of nowhere appeared three giant muscular men, all taller than sakurai. The crimson head knew that the presence of these men spells trouble for him. As the men approached from the north of sakurai, two of the men would walk round sakurai, such that there would now be a man at the north, a man at the south, and a man at the east. The ushitora already an ambushed or some of that sort. The men would proceed to order sakurai to give them all the money in his hand or else he would be killed. Sakurai is not about to succumb to that threat. The men probably underrated the young lad, thinking he is just a usual civilian or a traveler. Well, appearances can be deceiving. The crimson head does not have a village head band on, as he is a wanderer. After ordering the boy to give his money, the young ushitora would clench his fist, remain silent, and would look straight into the eyes of the man standing north of sakurai, who seems to be the leader of this little gang, given his appearance. It would seem the quietness of sakurai angered the men, as the north man would order the remain two to attack the ushitora. The north man probably felt it was better to dispose of sakurai and get all his money than to ask him for money. Well, that would not be happening so easily, as they are up against a formidable opponent who had spent years in training and mastering his arts. Given the fact that he is outnumbered, the crimson head would not go easy on them.

The three men would pull out a pair of kunai and then would throw it at the crimson. Being taijutsu expert, dodging the flying blades were a piece of cake for sakurai. The crimson head would punch his fist forward and a wave, shaped like a tiger’s head would form in front of him. The jutsu was aimed at the men in such a way that the jutsu would hit all three of them at their current position, if they don’t somehow evade. The two men on either side direction of sakurai were in front of sakurai, but are in east and west of the crimson head, few meters away from the man in the north. It turns out that the technique would hit the muscular men and send all three flying across the field. The crimson head was even lenient with his jutsu usage. If he had used the at full power, the three wmen would have died the moment the jutsu hit them. they were only lucky because the jutsu was used at a reduced power, and this was simply because the crimson head shinobi was aware that these men were not actual shinobi and they possess probably little or no shinobi skills. The tiger head jutsu would hit the men and send them flying across the field several meters away from sakuragi. A smirk would appear only sakuragi’s face. Even though the crimson head was aware that they were no march for him, he at least expected more from them. Unfortunately, the three men did not live up to the boy’s expectation. As the ushitora stood and watched the helpless men crash to the ground, sakurai was stuck between killing these men and letting them go.  Finally, the crimson head would reach the conclusion to let the men go, as they were no threat to him. Within himself, the ushitora would believe they were just actual civilians who went the rogue way to feed themselves and / or their family. The crimson head would watch as the three men struggled to rise to their feet. The men, after several unsuccessful attempt to rise to their feet, would finally get a hold of themselves.  They would flee the scene like a mad man. The power of the jutsu that sakurai used to hit the attackers probably weaken them, hence, the unsuccessful attempts to rise to their feet. Despite being the one that was attacked the ushitora choose to do a good deed and let the men go. He had the power to kill them if he wanted to, but he chooses not to.

The ushitora would continue his journey to the kumo. the journey was really getting him weary. The uhsitora could feel his feet complaining of the long walk. Every part of him would beg to take a break or stop the journey, but the ushitora wanted to at least move further to a nearby village, so that when night falls, the young lad would have a place to lay his head. The young ushitora had planned to rest an inn overnight till the next day, but right now he is in the middle of the forest and would not want to stop here in the middle of nowhere. The ground was pretty hot. The sun had heated the poor boy that he was now sweating profusely. Tired, thirsty, and hungry, the young ushitora would continue his journey. Thankfully, he had a bottle of water in his bag. The crimson haired would reach for the water bottle in his ninja bag and drink from the bottle. The water would quickly quench some of his thirst, however, the crimson haired shinobi would reserve some water for the journey. The young lad was really thirsty, but if he drinks the entire water now, he would have nothing to drink later. 

After covering many distance, the ushitora would arrive at an inn. The inn was big and well decorated, so the ushitora thought it would be nice to lodge here for the night., as his legs could carry him no further.  The ocean blue eyed shinobi would enter the inn, however, something does not feel right here. The young ushitora could feel it the moment he entered into the inn, but what could that be...

TWC: 1326

Upon entering the inn, the young ushitora would notice a crowd of people in the first room he entered. These people’s action looks suspicious. The moment the young ushitora entered the room, the entrance door would automatically shut itself. Sakurai would look behind him to observe what just happened, before facing forward again. It was at this moment that the crimson head would notice blood splash on the walls of the room, some body part could be seen litter inn some part of the room. The ushitora could hear noise from upstairs. His ocean blue eyes would race through the stairs from the ground level to above in hope of observing his surroundings.

Three huge began to approach the crimson head, and as they approach, they would pull out a kunai each. The intent is now very clear to sakurai. It seems that this is some blood house where these men kill part and use their body part or something of that sort. Killing the taijustu expert would not come easy, as sakurai is not about to let some nobody kills him and have his body parts. sakurai now have one sole objective her, which is to kill every single person and free, if any, captives in the inn.  Being outnumbered by the killers, the ocean blue eyed shinobi knows quite well that he must not slack, as a single mistake in this inn can cost him his life. Every move has to be calculated carefully, every jutsu has to be used meticulously. As the men approached, the ushitora would question the attackers on why they are killing people and what they are using the body parts for, but the men would give the crimson head no response.  Realizing that they would not talk the ushitora dash at them with one goal, which is to eliminate them all. The ushitora would pull out of a pair of kunai from his ninja bag, the kunais already had explosive tags attached to them. The young sakurai would launch the pair at the coming attacker. The aim of the attack was not to actually kill them with the attack, perhaps that was the secondary goal, but the primary goal sakurai used the attack was to blind the attackers, and in the period of time that the explosive explodes into smoke, the crimson head can use that moment to launch and attack from a blind spot at the army. However, it seems that these men are skilled ninjas themselves too. As the pair of kunai made their way to the appraoching figures, one of the figures would shoot a power wind jutsu at sakurai direction. The wind jutsu was so strong that sakurai had to use an A rank jutsu to stop the attack, and despite using the A rank jutsu, the wind tech from the attacker still managed to send sakurai flying a few meters across the room. It turns out that the A rank taijutsu the young ushitora had used earlier, only managed to reduce the power of the attack.

Despite being sent flying and crashing to the ground by the wind release jutsu, sakurai was quick to get back to his feet, or else the enemy might take advantage of that slight moment. Thankfully, his own A rank taijutsu technique had reduced the power of the incoming wind release jutsu, hence, the ocean blue eyed did not suffer much damage. The young ushitora could see the shock expression on the face of the guy that had used the wind release jutsu, the ushitora could hear him telling his fellow men that the jutsu he had used was his signature jutsu, yet the crimson head had quickly gotten back to his feet like nothing had happened. These brutal killers must by now, have realized that they are up against a formidable opponent, or perhaps not. Their number probably put them in the illusion and gave them the confidence that they would surely defeat the crimson head ushitora. Well, sakurai must by now realized that he needs to get serious her if he wants to live to see the next day, if he wanted to really reach kumogakure , the land of lightning.

This really would not be an easy fight. Young sakurai had learn never to fear even in the face of danger. despite being outnumbered, the crimson head shinobi remain calm. So far, every of his attack has been nullified by the assassins, and the ocean blue eyed was now wondering how he could defeat these guys and get out of her alive.  One thing he must ascertain now is to survive this clash. earlier on, he had to fight like three bandits. Young sakurai knew he had no choice but to survive.

Now is the time for the crimson head to launch his own attack. The young lad would dash towards the figure that had recently used a wind jutsu. The crimson head would aim a kick at the figure, but the trained assassin was able to react quickly and block the attack. The assassin would aim his ow punch the crimson head’s torso. Sakaurai was just fast enough to react and dodge the punch. Upon successfully dodging the punch, the crimson head would launch his evening elephant taijutsu technique. At that range, the assassin would not expect the young lad to use such a power jutsu. The ocean blue eyed would see to it that he not only kills all the assassins in this building but also destroy the building itself completely, so there would be no traces of bodies. The young sakurai would launch the one his favorite jutsu at the assassins, the jutsu would hit them and completely obliterate the assassins, but just before the building collapsed the ushitora would find his way out of the building.

Fast forward, the ushitora killed them all and ended their mysteries.
