"Pfft." *He turns his back to Arashi, his hands once again moving to his pockets.* "Just completing this mission is reward enough for me, to service my land, which will pay me handsomely." *He turns his head slightly, to look Arashi out of the corner of his eye.* "I'm looking along the lines of insurance to improve my mission's results."

That may be possible if you tell me what land you are from and why you are looking to get to zaka

"Hn. I'm a Cloud ninja, the only white one. I've been chosen to hunt him for his Genjutsu abilities, because I'm a perfect person for the job. Also..." *He pauses in thought.* "No, we'll have to leave it at that."

*He pauses to consider this for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. In response, he turns around with his eyes closed, and continues walking the way he had previously been heading.* "On second thought, all this extra involvement would just get in my way. I work solo."

*As he continues walking off into the distance, he stops momentarily, looking back at Arashi, moving in the opposite direction, out of the corner of his eyes.* "..." *His thoughts are completely guarded, and he continues walking off once again.*

*As the young man continued walking, he would now and then glance out of the corner of his eye, getting the sensation that he was being tracked. Although, he had been doing this during his entire journey. Soon enough, he stops in his tracks for a moment.* "He's obviously not here. I've been through the village here already." *Without further pause, he seemingly vanishes, though it is really a high speed dash, as he is seen a second later, running up the length of a tall tree. As he nears the top, he leaps off backwards, performing a back flip while pulling a kunai out to slice his palm open.*
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" (Summoning Technique)
*As he finishes his flip, a large puff of smoke fills the air under him, and he seems to stop in mid-air within this smoke. From the smoke, a large-ish bird flies out, smoke trailing off of it with the man kneeling on its back. The bird's wings appear to be on fire, and every flap of them sends light flickering embers as it soars through the sky towards the Land of Wind.*

Arashi using his superior sensor abilities he continues to track him obviously not as fast as the bird but still at a very fast rate thought the ground*

*As he continues traveling by air, the young man leaned back and began to ponder about the things he had heard and felt before arriving to meet Arashi. He had felt the presence of two great chakras, but by the time it was over, could not tell which was which. Suddenly, and without warning, the bird that he was riding on does a spiraling dive toward the left, for seemingly no apparent reason. As it does this, a series of explosions rock the air, right where the bird had been a second ago. The man, staying attached to the bird by focusing chakra to his feet, looks down to the forest below.*
"I knew it. I was being trailed." *He continues to keep a lookout for his attackers. A second later, a golden egg falls from the bird he's riding, at the same time that one of the attacking ninja leaps up to intercept him. Upon coming within one meter of the attacker, the egg explodes into an intense eruption of heat. The man's scream dies in his throat prematurely as he's thoroughly cooked, but little time to celebrate as an arrow rockets through the air, coming out of the fire of the explosion and aiming for the bird's wing.*
*Before the arrow even became apparent to the young man, the bird is already changing its course to avoid it, but it's not enough to avoid the secondary trap. Attached to the arrow was a rather long string, and attached to the string is a long series of paper bombs wrapped around it, which explode close enough to cause the bird to spiral yet again, feathers flying everywhere. The young man is forced to change his course for the Land of Fire instead, to exit the sea of trees and make his attackers more visible to him, as he wishes not to expend too much chakra in the middle of his mission.*
"Some nerve you've all got. You'll make a nice roasted snack for my friend here." *He speaks while patting his summon on the head.*

*as the attack is occuring after the arrows are fired 3 of the attacking ninja would suddenly have the trees fom around their feet and slowly engulf their body in an agonizing way as roots begin to spread through their bodies ripping them apart*

*Caught off guard by the suddenness of the attack, the first of the three attackers fell prey to the Wood Release technique ensnaring them. The next two were more fortunate, as one quickly pulled out a chakra blade, cutting himself free before he jumps away and immediately sprays a Katon over the offending wood. The third seemed to have picked up one of Orochimaru's techniques, the Soft Body Modification, as his body merely contorted and elongated to slip through the attack. The screams of the first victim caught sending chills through the group at the level of pain he must be experiencing.*
*Distracted from the wood technique that the two just narrowly avoided, one of them couldn't help but get scratched across the cheek as a lone shuriken whizzed by him. Wincing in pain, he just barely had time to avoid an entire barrage of shuriken that followed the first one.*
*The ninja riding on top of the bird smirked, right before the ninja that had been scratched suddenly stops in mid-jump, falling to the ground below.*
"The shurien was poisoned. Watch out!" *Yells one of the other ninja, supposedly their commander. The ninja they are pursuing, however, continues to smirk for some reason.*

*the now burning wood begins to grow even more spreading roots in the area the men are in allowing the fire to overcome it but enough chakra being put into the technique to keep the wood there because it is re growing as fast as it is burning and now would be heating up the ground for some unknown reason*

*The men continue their pursuit, now at an even faster pace to avoid the now burning pile of wood that is attacking them. Suddenly, they are forced into a halt as they crash into something invisible. Close immediate inspection would reveal to them a series of very fine, yet strong-as-steel wiring has been woven around them... by the shuriken thrown by the ninja on the bird. Yes, they had wires attached, and were used to box them all in. Not for long, but at that very moment, the ninja strikes. Manipulating one of the strings, he causes one of the shuriken to alter its course, aiming for the center of the group. It misses everyone completely, instead aiming for a single string. Attached to this string is a flash bomb, and upon being cut, it falls into the middle of the group, exploding in a flurry of bright light, creating confusion and obscuring vision, which is the same moment a single metallic sphere is thrown into their little net, which opens up swiftly and begins spraying the group with a sea of nearly microscopic needles, all laced with poison.*

*A flurry of slashes see to it that the wood, along with the wire trap, is sliced through cleanly, allowing for 7 of the remaining pursuit members to escape alive, out of the 20 that had originally started the assault. As they exit, however, they walk right into another trap. two more shuriken fly past them, impacting into two organic-looking spheres right where they emerged from. A purple mist emanates from these capsules, filling the air around and beyond them.*
"More poison?!" *Exclaims one of the remaining ninja. As if by instinct, he pulls a special mask over his face, the others following suit.* "Make sure not to breathe any of it in and you'll be fine. Looks like that's all this kid knows how to do." *With that they begin the chase once again, 3 of them performing different hand seals to ready some kinds of attacks.*
*However, that wasn't poison.*
"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *Pained screams can be heard throughout the group as their skin begins to literally melt off of their bones. The mist surrounding them wasn't a poison at all. Sure, it would be poisonous to breathe, but this mist was a special type of acid, fast-acting and powerful. One by one, the ninja fall to the ground and gradually, yet swiftly, turn into a puddle of goo on the floor, until just one remained, who had been able to avoid the mist completely. The ninja on the bird... did nothing. He's no longer standing on the bird, which is still soaring through the sky en rout to its destination of the Hidden Leaf.*
"Looking for me?" *Upon hearing his voice, the ninja looked up, only to see a single falling feather near his face. As the wind blew the feather to the side, the part of his vision that it recently obscured now reveals the grey-haired ninja to be just overhead, bearing down on him from 2 meters above. Before the pursuing ninja can react, he receives a powerful roundhouse kick to his head, which actually takes his head clean off. The grey-haired ninja lands next to the now-headless ninja, his entire leg a furious crackling blue color, before leaping in the air and vanishing in a whirl of leaves, reappearing in the same manner on top of the bird once again, continuing toward his destination, though wary of where that wood, which he swear he saw and swore it was also on fire, came from.*
"Weaklings, all of them."
