The cold, lonely eyes of the foreigner dressed in black lit up as he saw the purple and blue box emerge suddenly from the small plume of smoke. He focused his gaze to better see the box in the blond boy's hands and a soft grin fell over his lips behind his white mask. His expression though plain, was one of contentment as he had finally worked out a way to get the box. Now, it was just a matter of putting the plan into action. He had followed the pair all the way to this small village in what initially was a pursuit of answers to his long-sought after questions. However upon laying eyes on the colorful box with the red bow, he became fixated on it and couldn't get it out of his mind.

Having seen what these two were capable of, Wysal knew he had to do this just right in order for it to work. Bringing his hands slowly together to form the ram hand seal, he closed his eyes and set the wheel in motion.

As he exhaled, he lifted himself away from the ground and stepped free from the shade, into the light of the shining sun. He was once again transformed into the little boy he had been disguised as before and wasted no time in his actions. Running toward the pretty girl and the blond boy, the little kid did his best to appear out of breath and exhausted as he finally reached them.

"Water...Ple...Please...I need....Wa--Water!" gasped the little tyke, slouching over and putting his hands on his knees.

He continued to pant, just hoping one of them had some water he could drink.

Meanwhile, the dark garbed shinobi in the white mask moved slowly through the village. His pace was casual and he walked within a group of residents who were laughing and telling jokes. Since neither the blond boy nor pretty girl had seen him before, he maintained his steady stride among the group who was passing through, moving more and more near to the pair's location.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo smiled as he held the box and Aiko placed her had on his shoulder and told him that even though they were close he shouldn't let his guard down and he gave her a look nodding he remembered the time in the cave when the wall had been rigged and Aiko had been hurt if he hadn't of stumbled he could have pulled her out of the way easily but no the ground had been damaged during the fight and he had lost his footing thus slowing him down. He had only been glad that he had a med kit on him and was able to give it to Kari so she could help Aiko. Rikuo shook his head of these thoughts now wasn't the time he had to stay in the game and dilever the package to Dan's daughter.

Rikuo turned to Aiko with his normaly grin on his face and spoke to her. "Not far now Ko just a few houses to go till were their then we can get something to eat and be on our way home to get paid and you can see Zephy and you can tell him all the cool stuff he missed" Rikuo said this and turned to move when he heard a voice and turned to see the boy from the village gate's standing their asking for water now most people would have given him water and ignored this but Rikuo wasn't most people their was no way this kid had followed them and had caught up by now even with Acadamy level training. Rikuo was on alert the second he saw the kid he didn't belive for a second he was who he said he was and put Chakra to his ears and feet so he could hear better and feel Vibrations around him.

Rikuo felt someone comeing up behind him and Aiko and put the gift closer to him so that it would be harder to grab as he slowly made a Half ram sign readying a jutsu incase as he tossed his bottle of water to the kid he figured he had better not let them know he was onto this little Ploy. Rikuo turned and shot a smiled to Aiko and nodded behind him to tell her with out words that their was something wrong and someone behind him as he spoke to keep the ruse alive. "Look Aiko your stalker followed us." Rikuo said this ready to launch an attack to who evers plan this was to defend the Package from them.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko raised an eyebrow as her eyes weren't really believing what was infront of her. This kid..either he had potential or something wasn't right at all. When mentioning he needed water Aiko saw the water bottle tossed into the air and caught it seeing as she was inbetween the two.

"Well Rikuo, hurry to deliver the present to his daughter. As in..use that speed of yours."

She'd nod back at his nod smiling happily knowing this was about to get exciting very quickly. Aiko bursted out into laughter when Rikuo stated that her stalker had followed them all this way. Her eyes descended upon the little boy and grinned mischievelously.

"You know if I didn't know better you came with someone right?"

Aiko would kneel down eye level with him but keep her guard up, now wasn't a time to let it down. Especially with something as fishy as this going on.

[Wysal Acim X]

Still panting and pretending to be at the point of exhaustion, the little boy wheezed and coughed as he begged for the clear liquid to hydrate his parched existence.

"You know if I didn't know better you came with someone right?" said the pretty girl before kneeling down to the boy's level.

With no time to waste, the little boy's arm rocketed forward and he snatched the bottle of water right out of the girl's hand, pulling it quickly back to his chest, unscrewing the cap and taking a long drink of the cool elixir.

As he lowered the mouth of the bottle from his lips, he licked them feverishly, trying not to waste a single drop of the h20 that he had so longed for. Allowing the feeling of the cool liquid to travel down his throat and through his chest, the little boy closed his eyes and smiled softly at the sensation.

"Ah! now that's some good stuff! Thank you!" spoke the boy at last as he opened his eyes and smiled wide at the pretty girl in front of him.

Meanwhile, the shinobi dressed in black with the white mask covering his face continued walking along with the group of villagers; moving quietly and inconspicuously along the pathway with all the other travelers and passing by the little kid and the other two without a second glance.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo couldn't help but smile to Aiko and the kid and when she told him to hurry he nodded and gave her a salut before speaking in a slight military tone to Aiko. [color=Teal]"Yes mam Namikaze Delivery service on the case speeding to destination at top speed" Rikuo said this before grining before he left to deliver the package to Dan's daughter "I'll be back in a second Aiko don't do anything I wouldn't" Rikuo said this with a chuckle before he Shunshined away in a swirl of leaves heading to Dan's Daughter to give her here gift. As Rikuo left he noticed the guy in black with the mask but he knew that he could easily get back in time to help Aiko should she need it he knew that she could handle almost anything that was throwen at her and knew she could hold her own in a fight allowing Rikuo to move to finish the mission.

Rikuo appered outside of the house were she lived in another swirl of leave looking around and seeing the address and grinning. Rikuo walked up to the door and knocked takeing a step back so she wouldn't be startled as he held the gift up to give to her when she opened it. Rikuo didn't have to wait long as the door was opened by Dan's daughter She looked at the young ninja and for a moment was distracted by the bright hair before shakeing it off and asking the question "Yes how can I help you Ninja=San

Rikuo smiled "Hi i'm Rikuo and your dad sent you this present for your birthday because he couldn't make it himself Because he's sick and the Doctors are really over protective and won't let him leave so he hired me and my friend to bring you this gift so here ya go and Happy Birthday" Rikuo handed her the gift and she nodded and took it with a thank you and a giggle from Rikuo's big goffy grin and she opened the box Rikuo watched he wanted to know what was in it it was nagging him and he didn't like that the box was opend reveling a small glass figuerin and Rikuo smiled he was glad that he had placed it in a scroll to keep it safe and she signed the Mission form so Rikuo and Aiko could turn it in and get paid. Rikuo waved good by before Shunshining again to get back to Aiko so they could eat as Rikuo had planned before leaveing.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko laughed a how excited and comfortable the little boy seemed now. The boy following them still had perplexed her a bit. So the you Uchiha turned her back to the boy for a brief moment to see where Rikuo, her partner in this mission was. The Uchiha sign on the back of her shirt stood out boldly as Aiko put her hair up incase she needed to fight.

"Whats you name? It's funny I have never seen you around before."

Seeing Rikuo come back made her smile, looks like this mission was over and done with now. So the only thing left was...to eat! Aiko looked up at her brotherly figure and patted his back.

"Did she notice the hair first?"

A playful smile along with a giggle could be heard as she turned back to the boy and grabbed his hand. The same funny feeling started appearing and her face went straight while looking around. Nothing appeared out of the ordinary..so what could it have been?

[Wysal Acim X]

Still holding the bottle of water, and taking the occasional swig of the clear liquid, the little boy stood quietly, a smile pinned on his face and his eyes pinned on the pretty girl.

As she turned around, his eyes grew even wider as he spotted the symbol on the back of her shirt. In his mind, Wysal tried to follow the pieces to try and remember where he had seen it before. As the flashbacks begun to lead him deeper into the past and the flames from that night in the Hidden Mist began to rise, he exhaled sharply and blinked his eyes several times. Though he did not know what that symbol meant, he knew he had seen it that night amidst the fog and chaos...

Suddenly, his ears perked up when he heard the girl speaking to him.

"My name? Uhh, it's... Narut--- o.. I mean... Oturan!, ya Oturan!"

With a playful laugh and a big smile, the boy scratched the back of his head and took another drink of the water. The little boy's eyes shifted to the side as he spotted the blond kid returning, with no blue and purple box in his hands. A terrible sensation fell over the little boy and the expression on his face turned slightly sour. He had followed them all the way out here and now he had missed his chance to get his hands on that colorful box!

...Or had he?

As the pretty girl grabbed his hand, the little boy snapped out of it and he looked up at her in question.

Meanwhile, the shinobi dressed in all black with the white mask covering his face continued to move. Only this time, it was with great speed and agility through the shadows of the small village. He had taken the opportunity to follow the blond kid down the street to the residence where he had delivered the box. The blond kid was incredibly fast, and the task of following him had not been easy; especially while remaining hidden in the shadows. Fortunately, the black garbed shinobi had refined his Shunshin no Jutsu technique and was able to keep up.

As he watched quietly and waited for several minutes, he saw the blond kid deliver the box to a little girl who answered the door and had listened to what he said;

"Hi i'm Rikuo and your dad sent you this present for your birthday because he couldn't make it himself Because he's sick and the Doctors are really over protective and won't let him leave so he hired me and my friend to bring you this gift so here ya go and Happy Birthday"

The shadowed shinboi had learned several things from this conversation and he watched the blond kid wave and then take off quickly back down the street, disappearing into the distance behind a trail of scattering leaves and dust. Just as Dan's daughter had waved in return and then closed her door behind her, another knock came softly. With a twinkle in her eye she spun around excitedly and opened the door back up thinking perhaps more presents had arrived!

Her joyful expression dropped suddenly to one of discomfort and fear as she saw a man dressed all in black standing there; with a creepy white mask covering his face.

Several moments later, an elderly woman's scream was heard as she spotted a shinobi dressed in black, holding Dan's daughter hostage with a kunai to her throat. The crowd of villagers that were passing through the area all turned their attention and looked in horror at the scene that had developed.

"Nobody move," said the masked shinobi; walking his hostage deeper into the crowd of onlookers.

There were terrified yelps all around and villagers shouting for him to "Let her go!" and "Please don't hurt her!"

Stopping as he reached the middle of the crowd with everyone gathered around them; the man in the white mask seemed to be looking at only a certain group of people. The blond kid who had delivered the present, the pretty girl with her hair up and the little boy with the water bottle holding her hand. Dan's daughter stood quietly in front of the man, sniffling and scared with her back to him and her face full of tears.

"I want my daddy..." she sniffled sadly.

• OOC Notes:
  
  • The man in black who has kidnapped Dan's daughter is the product of Wysal's Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Jutsu) technique.
    
  • After creating the clone, Wysal used his Henge no Jutsu (Transformation) technique and emerged as the little boy that is currently holding hands with Aiko.
    
  • Wysal's clone has brought his hostage (Dan's daughter) to the middle of the village where Rikuo, Aiko and the 'Transformed Wysal' are gathered.
    
  • Though he already has the blue and purple box in his possession, the clone has become infatuated with the idea that the blond-kid must have more presents on him; hiding in his scrolls, and has taken the girl hostage in order to make an exchange.
    
  • With the large crowd of villagers gathered all around them, Rikuo is discouraged from using his wind techniques as they would prove to be catastrophic in terms of innocent lives lost.

*None of the above are 'common knowledge' and have only been listed to fill you guys in OOC so we can make this a really cool scene. As such, the absence of any meta-gaming would be greatly appreciated!

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo couldn't help but smile as he appered in the swirl of leaves and gave Aiko a slight wave as he arrived to see her still talking to the kid that had followed them from the village was still their talking with Aiko. Rikuo still gave the kid a look still not sure if he should belive the whole little kid kept up with two D-Rank genin sure it could happen if he were older but at his age it wasn't possable. Rikuo thought over ways this could make sense before both the Namikaze and Sarutobi in him screamed Henge Jutsu and Rikuo's eyes widened slightly at this thought but he let his face remain with it's normal grin to not alert them. Rikuo chuckled softly when Aiko noticed if the first thing she saw was his hair and he couldn't help it it was true the first thing she had noticed was his golden hair. "Yep you know me Aiko the hair just draws your gaze" Rikuo shook his head slightly to let his hair sway as if to proove his point when he heard the scream.

Rikuo turned on a dime and saw the sceen his eyes narrowing at the sight of Dan's daughter begin held by a ninja in black with a white mask their was a Kunai to her neck which limited attack choice's and with the crowd Rikuo's wind Jutsu were limted to a few that could be aimed. Rikuo narrowed his eyes at this before asking the question. "What do you want with the Girl?" Rikuo said this his smile gone and his eyes cold and focused on the threat as he looked over to the little girl and gave her a grin to try and tell her everything would be all right. He didn't see what could be gained by takeing her hostage and Rikuo aimed to find out after they got Dan's daughter away from this guy safetly. Rikuo had to think of what to do and was pretty Sure Aiko was in the same boat as he was with this little battle Genjutsu could work but if he sensed it he could kill the girl not that he would live very long after that.

Rikuo began to go over combat stratagys in his mind to see the best option in dealing with this and figured that it would have to be when they found out what he wanted so Rikuo ad to see what the was. "Just let her go and we can talk about this no one needs to get hurt."


(OOC:Well since the package got delivered the mission is Techancly done so 20 RTP gained for all of us.)

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko would giggle but her gaze would turn into a serious one hearing screams and people shouting. Upon getting to the scene her hand let go of the little boys knowing he was going to stay put besides either her or Rikuo. Not saying anything to the two she slipped off onto a rooftop to asses the ways for him to go.

The man only had three outlets, left, right, or behind him. Aiko had to think quick, this wasn't the time to panic. Her eyes would lock onto the man in the white mask and black coat. It was obvious he didn't belong here at all. His attire didn't seemed to fit in.

Without saying much using her clans stealth ablities she would find conceal herself in the crowd and create a clone. Who stood beside Rikuo taking the boys hand again.

Her real seal would rush over behind the man who was in the middle of the crowd, her clone would let out a ear piercing screech while Aiko snatched the Dan's daughter away from him and held onto her tight. The puff of smoke would subside from Rikuo.

"Its okay, I have you now, you're fine. He won't hurt you anymore.."
