Be warned as their have been bandits sighted in the area so Dan ask's that who ever takes this mission takes care to avoid them as the Package is important and he dosen't want to risk it getting broken.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo smiled slightly as he made his way towards the front gate the Hokage had recived a request from one of the local merchants for a delivery to his daughter who lived outside of the village. The man was a nice Merchant named Dan and normaly made the Trip himself every year for her birthday but he had fallen ill and the doctors wouldn't let him go no matter how much he begged and instead settled for sending ninja to deliver it to his daughter for him. Rikuo had been given the package and was currently carrying it while looking at the wrapped box.

He woundered what was inside of it but knew better then to open it but damn was it tempting him with it's blue and purple wrapping and red bow. Rikuo sighed as he waited at the gate he had been informed by the Hokage that he would be joined by two other ninja's but hadn't been told who with the Hokage saying it was a surprise and then laughing. Rikuo had grabed his bag and then go to get the gift before heading out to meet his team at the gate. "Ahh Damn you Box you will not Tempt me". Rikuo said this with a slight glare at the box.

Finally having recovered his clothing, ninja tools and weapons from the Konoha Hospital, Wysal cracked his neck and slipped his white mask into place over his face. He took several moments to crack his knuckles, stretch his limbs and ready himself for any more unexpected threats or strange environments he may encounter in this alien land. Thoughts of the Village Hidden in the Mist still plagued his mind and with every memory, he felt the loom of the dark storm clouds on the horizon, moving in to shroud him in darkness once more.

Opening his eyes to the lush, green world around him, his arms shot up suddenly over his head and he let out a deep seeded yawn, stretching his limbs to their fullest extents. The resounding of audible pops echoed against his ear drums as the joints of his shoulders and elbows released deep groans of approval. His body thanked him for the moment of rest and finally feeling ready to carry on, he allowed his recently trained Chakra Control to subside momentarily, allowing him to fall head first from the tree branch.

Wysal had been hanging upside down, focusing his chakra into the soles of his feet in order to hold him against the tree branch's bark-covered surface. Upon relaxing his mind and loosening his concentration, the pull of gravity took hold of his body and he dropped toward the ground, kicking his legs hard and flipping head over heels before landing with a soft thud on the ground.

Now that the madness of the hospital was behind him, there was but yet a new, and far greater obstacle in his path; finding out how he had ended up here, in the Hidden Leaf.

OOC Notes:

• Wysal has gathered his gear and gotten out of the hospital in one piece.
  
• This post leads into the Spar with Shaunic Inuzuka, leading back into this Mission afterwords.
  
• Unaware of any mission from the Hokage, he will bump into Rikuo and Aiko coincidentally and decide to join them in their endeavors in hopes of finding some answers.

[Aiko Uchiha]

The sound of feet running couldn't be heard this time since the compound seemed to be hustling and bustling more so than normal. Her head would duck and body would twist and turn in the crowd to get through the crowd. Whoever told her that it wasn't exhausting getting through a crowd was dead wrong. These people were stubborn about moving for anyone in fear they'd lose their spots in line. Aiko looked back swearing she heard someone yelling her name but looked back infront of her to see furniture beind moved outside. She'd slide under it before getting back up and smiling happily at avoiding a huge problem.

Finally reaching the gates of her compound Aiko caught her breath before heading over to the entrance of the village. This time around the Hokage wouldn't mention who was going with her but that didn't matter. Making friends came as easy as breathing to Aiko. The more friends, the more techniques that could be learned. Aiko would jog at a nice pace all the way to the gates before seeing a shining blonde bush of hair and couldn't help but burst into a small laughter. So Rikuo was going to accompany her on this mission, by the looks of it this guy seemed to be talking to the box as well.

"Would you like me to hold it? Or do you want to keep talking to it?"

Aiko would smile happily his way before gigling at her own little joke. At the same time though she'd be looking around to see if there was suppose to be anyone else that was coming to join the mission as well. It couldn't just be Rikuo and her. Then again the young Kunoichi could be wrong.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo kept his battle of will's going with the gift he wanted to know what was in it and it was really tempting but then a thought came to Rikuo once he delivered it the daughter would open it and Rikky could know what he was carrying and that seemed to help him gain control over his need to open the box and he was able to to reach into his backpack and pulled out a scroll so that he could store the box he sat near the entrance and pulled his Fuinjutsu kit out of his bag to make the seal he needed to store the box when he heard a voice and smiled as he looked over at Aiko with his normal grin on his face. Rikuo was happy that he wouldat least know one of the people he would be traveling with and that helped him feel slightly at ease as he knew what Aiko could do in a fight but this also meant that he'd have to keep an eye on here as he didn't want Zephyr to kill him if anything happend to her or Kari for that matter as he knew the two were close.

Rikuo smiled and chuckled at what she said about the box "Ahh don't worry Aiko-chan I got it just gonna put it in this scroll here and we can get under way oh I also have something for you" Rikuo said this as he put the last stroke with his ink brush on the scroll and made a Ram hand seal and with a cry of 'Seal' and a poof of smoke the Box vanished into the scroll before Rikuo reached into his bag and pulled out some leg training weights and showed them to Aiko. "Ohh I grabed these for you they'll help you with your speed training their Namikaze gravity weights and use a Fuin jutsu seal on the side to effect the weight of your own body to help give you ressitance when you train to help you get faster. try em when we get back their only set to 1x so it'll only double your weight and to turn them off you only channle a small amount of chakra into the seals on em and say Release and BOOM super speedy Aiko" Rikuo said this with a grin as he waited.

[Wysal Acim X]

Watching from within a shadowed collection of dense foliage near the Leaf Village's main gate, Wysal's eyes narrowed as he watched the figures move. He could hear them talking, but from his distance he could not make out just what was being said.

Rolling his shoulders back and lowering further into his crouched stance, he relaxed his body weight on his legs slightly and continued to observe the pair.

The larger of the two figures had been in possession of a blue and purple box, topped off with a red bow. Seeming rather strange in design, Wysal's eyes must have been deceiving him as he looked again and did not see the box in the man's hands, but only a scroll. Rather interested now in the contents of the box, Wysal closed his eyes and pondered a way to go about tailing the couple.

As he continued to observe, he couldn't help but feel like the two were waiting for someone else and he made sure to keep his eye out for a third party coming to join them. Maintaining his cover in the shadows of the shrubbery, Wysal took the time to catch his breath and rest his body from the intense encounter he had just had in the forest with a young man and his small, purple dog.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Watching Rikuo use the scroll to conceal the present was a bit entertaining. Aiko was thinking that with his help and a little practice maybe she would be able to do the same. Right now it seemed to be making the mission all the more easier seeing as it didn't look like there were carrying anything important. Then Aiko heard him state that he had a gift for her and wondered what could it have possibly been. "You do? What is it?"

There they were, the weights that Aiko had been requesting from him ever since she had helped him with a Genjutsu a day or two ago. Her hands happily took them from his before putting them in her bag and hugging Rikuo as a thank you. Her smile was wide as her eyes sparkled a bit being happy, "You're awesome Rikuo, thanks. Lets get going, it doesn't look like anyone is coming to join us." With the last words formed and out of her mouth herlegs began walking out of the village gate.

Her head however shifted from side to side slowing down a little before raising an eyebrow. Aiko was feeling as if something, or someone was hiding from them. At the moment the girl would shrug it off, but if the feeling was still persistent and weighed heavily on her mind then that was when Aiko would find out what it was.

Aiko started speeding up back to her normal pace before looking behind her one last time at the scenery around them.

[Wysal Acim X]

Having finally caught his breath and given his tired bones a chance to relax, Wysal focused his eyes once again as the pair began to move. He watched closely as the smaller of the two accepted some sort of item from the other. Despite still being a good distance away and not being able to make out the words they were saying; Wysal could clearly tell that whatever the item was, had made the girl happy. Her tone was light and carefree; something Wysal longed to experience himself.

For now, he was just thankful he had gotten the chance to rest and recuperate after all the hardships of the past few hours. As the girl placed the items into her bag and began walking to exit through the village gates, Wysal turned his gaze toward the clear sky above, admiring the vast blue-hued expanse. The sun was still beating down on the very green, lush environment and for the moment it felt more than good within the cool embrace of the shade; especially since his heavy black clothes were already making him hot.

As he lowered his eyes back to look upon the pair, he noticed the girl had already passed through the gate and he could only imagine the other would begin to follow her soon enough. Wysal would need to make his move soon if he wanted to keep up with them. He could only hope, that they would lead him to some answers and maybe even a little something to eat.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo smiled when Aiko took the weights and when she hugged him he patted her on the head with his normal smile on his face. He was happy that she liked the weights he was happy as he had done the seals on them himself and they were like the one that he himself wore just not at the level he chose as she would have to get use to them at first before she could increes the weight that was used by them. Rikuo figured that he should warn her about that as he didn't want her hurting her self by accident. "Just take it slow with those at first Ko I don't want you hurting your self and when you think your ready for more weight i'll incress it for you. Rikuo said this while he placed the scroll and his Fuinjutsu kit into his bag.

Rikuo nodded to Ko but before he stood back up he placed his hand on the ground he had the feeling that someone had been watching him for a bit but when Aiko had appered he thought that maybe it had been her and had pushed the thought to the back of his mind. But now that she was ahead of him the feeling had returned and Rikky wanted to figure out why he placed the plam of his hand on the ground and sent out a Chakra pulse acting llike a radar and he began to sense around him. It didn't take long for Rikuo to detect the Chakra signature in the tree and he turned to face it reaching for his weapon pouch. "You can stop hideing now and come out now or I can make you? Rikuo said this stareing at the spot in the tree were he could sense the signature.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko would stop once hearing Rikuo talk upward towards a tree. Was this really happening? They had just walked out the village and already someone or something was watching them. Her feet twisted and started jogging back over to him putting his hand out of his weapon pouch. They were right infront of the village, Shinobi constantly going in and out. Assistance was everywhere, so as of right now no real threat was visible.

"Don't, there isn't a need for that at the moment.." Her eyes would look up where he was watching as well before setting her bag down and stretching. Without much warning Aiko burst into a run sending a bit of Chakra to her feet so she was able to run up the trunk of it. Maybe whatever was in the tree would jump down out of fear of her willingness to get a closer look. Her eyes narrowed when getting closer to the top and seemed to notice a dark figure as if it was waiting for her.

Aiko showed no fear however, this wasn't going to stop her one bit. She may have been tiny but the Uchiha had a larger fighting spirit than anyone else.

[Wysal Acim X]

It was all happening so fast, Wysal barely had time to comprehend everything before it was time to react.

"You can stop hiding now and come out now or I can make you?" called out the larger of the two that he had been watching for some time now.

It would appear that they had not only discovered his location in the shadows, but as his eyes shifted to the girl at the man's side, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of urgency to come up with a plan before they found him. Since this was only his first day in the Hidden Leaf Village, he did not want to encounter any unwanted trouble, especially from any men in white lab coats.

Knowing that he may very well end up back in the hospital, or worse, Wysal thought hard as he kept his eyes pinned on the pair who were looking in his direction.

Suddenly, the girl burst into a full-on run and came charging in his direction, right toward the tree he was resting in. Wysal's eyes widened behind his white mask and he inhaled sharply, knowing his time was running out, he needed to make a move, now.

That's it! he thought, as the answer finally came to him.

As he looked again, the girl was almost to the base of the tree and he knew she wasn't going to stop until he was discovered and brought out into the light.

Henge no Jutsu! he thought within his mind, his hands moving together quickly.

Just as she was reaching his location, the newly transformed Wysal sprang from the shadows of the tree and dove right over Aiko's head, sailing out into the air momentarily like a beautiful bird, before tucking his chin into his chest, flipping forward and landing gracefully in a kneeling position on the ground below.

As he rose to his feet, the transformed Wysal dusted himself off and turned his head to look back up at the girl in the tree. As he spotted her, he cracked a soft smile and put a hand on his head. His transformation jutsu had allowed him to take on the appearance of a young boy that he had seen at the public park earlier. Knowing that young little boys had a tendency to spy on pretty girls, he decided this would be the perfect excuse.

"Sorry, I....I didn't mean to spy on you guys, it's just... "

The little boy paused for several seconds as a bead of sweat rolled down his face; Wysal trying to play off the mischievous little boy roll as best he could.

"it's just... well, You're such a pretty girl and I just couldn't help it!! I had to get a closer look!"

Wysal grinned wide and then turned to look at the man who was with her, still standing by the gate.

"Is this your boyfriend?"

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo waited for what ever was in the tree to come out when Aiko came back and was standing beside him so both could look into the tree and wait. Rikuo was about to move in to check it out when Aiko took off from beside him rushing towards the tree and Rikuo quickly moved to back her up incase it was something that would attack he didn't doubt Aiko's skill in a fight but figured against the unknow numbers were better then alone. Rikuo apporced the tree as a figure jumped out of the tree and passed over her head Rikuo took a few jumps backwards so the Figure would be between himself and Aiko and they could both attack from a diffrent side if they had to fight.

Rikuo blinked at what he saw land infront of him it was a little kid that was following them and he guess they were probaly going to the acadamy as he had been able to spy on them and not really make a sound Namikaze's just had good sensor abiltys when they had too. Rikuo shook his head at what the kid said and when he asked if Rikuo was Aiko's boyfriend he couldn't help but laugh slightly before he looked at the kid seeing no harm done. "Don't worry about it kid and no i'm not her boyfriend just a Friend but you should know better then to spy on a ninja some won't like it" Rikuo said this with a stern tone before takeing his hand away from his weapon pouch and makeing ready to head out the gate to make the delivery."You should go and play with the kids your own age we need to get going on a mission" Rikuo said this and motioned with his hand for Aiko and him to get underway as they had to travle and Rikuo didn't want to have to at night as their were bandits along the route they had to take and Rikuo didn't want to get ambushed.


Rikuo waved to the kid as he made his was towards the gate Aiko in tow as the two got ready to begin their trip to give Dan's daughter her birthday gift.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko looked at the little boy blinking, it was a bit weird seeing as the figure to her in the trees looked much more bigger than the little boy. Her eyes watched him carefully before blushing at his complements about her being pretty. He was so nice, adorable even.

Hearing Rikuo sternly scold him for following them and putting himself in danger Aiko couldn't help but nod in agreement. What he was saying was right after all, if she didn't hold back Aiko could have seriously hurt him. That was something that couldn't be on her conscious. It'd tear her apart inside knowing she had hurt a little kid because of her mind overreacting.

Her eyes would watch Rikuo walk away but before Aiko would leave she'd grab her bag slipping it back onto her back and pat the little boys head lightly.

"Be a good kid and go home."

With that Aiko's lips would plant a soft kiss on his cheek before smiling sweetly and rushing to catch up to Rikuo.

[Wysal Acim X]

The little boy listened to the words of the blond haired man and nodded respectfully, knowing he shouldn't have been so reckless.

It was almost enough to make Wysal puke on the inside, but he kept up the act; knowing that soon enough they would disband and get on with their 'mission' as the man had said. Wysal wondered just what this mission was, and concluded that it most likely had to do with that purple and blue box he had seen before; the one with the bright red bow on top.

Turning his attention away from the blond man and toward the girl, the disappointed, scolded-look on his face quickly evolved into a joyous smile. Even though he was playing the part of the rambunctious kid trying to spy on the pretty girl, Wysal himself could not help but deny that this girl was indeed, very attractive.

"Be a good kid and go home." she said after patting his head lightly.

The little boy nodded in agreement to her orders and was about to turn away when he felt her soft lips on his cheek. Feeling more than a little flustered, the little boy's face grew bright red and his jaw dropped.

Trying to pull himself together enough to see them off, he lifted his little arm and waved at the pair as they traveled through the gate and left the village.

Finally, thought Wysal as he lowered his little transformed arm and ran off out of sight.

Now he could make another try at this.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo smiled as he began to move away from the village with Aiko and as they got close he jumped up to the trees so that they could travle faster and reach their destination faster then if they took the road they could also avoid Bandits and the like by moveing above them. Rikuo kept him self at a speed that Aiko could match easily and not push her self as the two of them moved his blue eyes scaning the path ahead of them for anysign of an attack or ambush while they moved. Rikuo looked over his shoulder giveing Aiko a grin as the two of them moved "Alright back there Ko or do ya need me to slow down" Rikuo said this jokeingly as they moved just trying to pass the time.


It didn't take long before they came apon a clearing near were they had to deliver and Rikuo stoped spying a group of armed men who seemed to be blocking the road. Rikuo noticed them and gave the area a look their seemed to be 8 of them all armed with weapons from swords to knives to clubs. Rikuo stopped on a branch and crouched looking down at the group and looked over to Aiko true they didn't need to face the bandits that wasn't part of the mission but they could deal with them and open up the road so no one got hurt by them later. "What do you think Ko we can go around or see if we can deal with them i'll go Either way but this isn't part of the mission" Rikuo waited for her answer as this was as much her call as his.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko caught up to Rikuo with ease and started walking beside him as the made there way towards their destination. Rikuo seemed to want to use the trees as an advantage seeing as he jumped into one and started making his way towards the clearing ahead. Aiko shook her head a bit before following suit and staying right beside him, this caused her to go a bit ahead however. Even though Rikuo was pretty fast Aiko was quick on her feet as well.

"I need you to use some of that Namikaze speed, I can keep up. I'll let you know when I need you to slow down."

When he stopped looking at a road block Aiko narrowed her eyes at the group of bandits. This wasn't going to be easy that much she already knew. Then a idea formed into her head...

"I say we take out this road block, they are just robbing people for money anyway. I'll stay in the shadows, when I use a Genjutsu of mine and they all fall to the floor you go to work and finish them off."

Aiko would smile pleasantly at the idea, it seemed like this mission was going smoothly, these were low lifes so she doubted that any of them knew that they were there otherwise they would've been on the offensive right now. Her leg would push off the tree branch they were on and onto the tree besides them with a good open area for her to hit them with. She'd wait for him to give her the signal and state he was ready.

[Wysal Acim X]

As Wysal moved quickly within the confines of the Hidden Leaf Village's walls, he darted around the backside of a small residence, hopped up onto some wooden boxes and miscellaneous garbage that were stacked there and climbed up until his hands could almost reach the top of the wall.

However, due to his current transformed-state as a little kid, his little fingers could just not reach and fell short of the edge. With a heavy sigh, Wysal knew he no longer needed the disguise and that if he wanted to make it over this wall, he would have to let the jutsu go.

Tilting his head to the side and popping the stiff muscles in his neck, a cloud of smoke suddenly emitted from the boy's figure and as it gradually dissipated into the air around him, Wysal's true form was once again realized. Turning his eyes back to the wall, he now found himself not only able to reach the ledge, but able to look right over it. With a slight smirk beneath his white mask, he planted one hand on the ledge and thrust himself up and over the wall. As he landed, he paused for several seconds, waiting to see if anyone had noticed his departure from the village, via a not-so-normal route. When no sounds of disturbance or alarm came, Wysal nodded slightly, rose from his crouched position and darted forward into the thicket.

Upon reaching a hefty branch, he paused and peered out through the foliage toward the pathway that left the village's main gate. He scanned the trail but did not see any sign of the blond man nor the girl who had kissed him. Inhaling softly through flailing nostrils, he turned his head further, deciding the pair must have sped up and were already farther ahead.

Damn they're fast.. he thought as he looked off into the distance.

Dropping from the trees and landing softly on the soft dirt below, he readied himself before dashing off once again through the shadows. He needed to remain quiet, but also keep up a good pace if he wanted any hope of catching up to them.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo nodded when Aiko said that it would be better for them to take out the Bandits and he liked her plan of using a Genjutsu to weaken them while he took them out. Rikuo patted her shoulder before he lept out of the tree that the two of them had stopped in and made his way around so that he could see them all from another angle. Rikuo got to the postion he chose he could see Aiko and the Bandits Rikuo gave the area a once over the were to spread out for up close fighting but Rikuo had a B-Rank jutsu that could take them out after Aiko hit them with the Genjutsu and he began to gather his chakra so that he could use the Jutsu.

Rikuo looked over at Aiko and nodded to her so that she would know that it was time for them to attack Rikuo would wait for Aiko to use her Genjutsu before he relased his own jutsu but he couldn't wait to start the hand seals as the Jutsu needed a large amount of handseals to be used. Rikuo flew through the long list of Handseals and as the last guy fell from the Genjutsu Rikuo released his jutsu with a cry of it's name "Fuuton:Kami Oroshi (Godly Wind from the Mountains)" with that the Jutsu flew through the clearing grabing and lifting all of the Bandits and hurling them off into the woods causeing them to hit everything in their path and the Jutsu lifting Trees and small rocks forceing them to collided with the Bodies as Rikuo lept from the tree landing in the clearing looking around at the Damage that the B-Rank Jutsu did and waved Aiko over to him.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko would see his nod and smile happily before peforming her simple handseal, which happened to be the horse handseal. Feeling her Genjutsu Chakra flowing her eyes looked at the targets before releasing her jutsu towards them all. What they saw was something they probably weren't even prepared to see.

Her body was still in the tree but to them her body had dispersed into red and yellow petals and started flowing around them causing them to group together. As they all looked down at their bodies little bubbles of their skin started to evaporate in the air. While this was happening the men began to scream while trying their best to attempt to wipe off whatever was causing them to evaporate into the air.

Smiling proudly at her Genjutsu working her hands went beside her while Rikuo performed his jutsu. Watching his however made her jaw drop while jumping over to him assessing the damage done. Rikuo was no light weight that was for sure. Wind was a powerful thing and Aiko clearly understood that saying now while looking around. When finally reaching him Aiko would high five him giggling before they walked at a slower pace a bit heading up the clearing.

"That was pretty good team work I think."

[Wysal Acim X]

Just as he was beginning to lose his breath and his hope of catching up to the two he had been following, the sounds of screams in the distance caught his attention.

Wasting no time in pursuing the source of the terrified yelps, Wysal darted swiftly through the branches, bushes, slender tree trunks and leaves that obscured his path toward the noise. He could tell that whomever was screaming was in sheer agony and disbelief, for he had heard screams of this nature before.

Images of the Village Hidden in the Mist flashed within his mind as he continued to rush forward through the dark foliage. The memories attempted to flood his mind, but he shook them away as quickly as they came, trying to focus on the situation at hand and find out just what was going on up ahead.

As he finally caught sight of a large group of people on the trail, he paused and looked on in disgust as they clawed fiendishly at their own skin in an attempt to rid themselves of some unseen, skin-eating virus that washed over them. It only took a moment of witnessing the intense display for Wysal to understand what was going on.

Genjutsu! he concluded within his mind, turning his head to look deeper into the trees to try and spot who was responsible.

Suddenly, he heard a terrible roar come tearing through the still-air from up ahead and it shook him to his very core.

"Fuuton: Kami Oroshi!!!!!" bellowed the voice, as the one it belonged to activated his Jutsu.

Wysal barely had time to grab onto a nearby tree trunk as the savage winds that tore through the men in the clearing almost ripped him from the very spot he stood. Digging his finger nails hard into the bark, he grit his teeth and held on for dear life until the tremendous gust finally subsided and he fell to one knee.

What was that!? questioned Wysal within his mind, his heart beat racing.

Having only seen things like that in his nightmares, Wysal had to figure out who was responsible for such an impressive technique and without further delay, he moved onward through the trees. He took great care in his movements; remaining as quiet as he could so whomever had taken out that large group of men, would not discover him and mistake him for a survivor...

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo smiled as he landed outside of the tree and returned Aiko's High five as she came over to him he couldn't help but look around the area at the Damage that the two of them had done and he had to admit that Jutsu was handy. Rikuo also looked at the Path his Jutsu had made and whistled slightly at the damage he had to admit it was a deadly jutsu it just took a really long time to be used wtih the amount of hand seals he needed for the jutsu was a magor draw back but Rikuo had to admit when it was released it was very devastating if you got it done in time to be of use.

Rikuo smiled and Gave Aiko a smile when she said that it was good teamwork "Yes it was Aiko that was a really cool idea to use your Genjutsu like that they didn't stand a chance against team Aikky were the best" Rikuo said this with a grin as he got ready to keep moveing so that the two of them could deliver the gift and make it back to the village. "Well I guess we better get going Aiko don't want to have to travle at night" Rikuo said this with a smile before he jumped into a tree on the other side of the clearing waiting for Aiko before he kept moveing towards their destination.

[Aiko Uchiha]

Aiko would nod laughing at his little reference about no one being able to mess with the two. As he hopped back into the trees she followed suit once more going at a slower pace. They were close now so why rush and not enjoy the little scenery Rikuo had left intact. It wasn't easy performing a jutsu like that and for some reason Aiko had a feeling that it took a bit out of him.

"Next time we do something like that warn me so I won't be as surprised."

She giggled a little bit looking back at the scene as they were leaving it. Rikuo had the potential to be a very powerful Shinobi. That didn't mean that Aiko would be left behind though. Her dream was going to turn into reality.

[Wysal Acim X]

"Well I guess we better get going Aiko don't want to have to travel at night," said the voice of a young man up ahead.

"Next time we do something like that warn me so I won't be as surprised," responded a girl after a short pause.

Wysal was close enough now that he could hear the two speaking and he swallowed hard, recognizing their voices as the ones he had encountered in the village earlier. Though he had been transformed at the time and playing the part of a young, peeping-tom of a rug-rat; he had taken the opportunity to examine the pair as much as possible and try to remember the details.

He knew it would come in handy later on when he made a move for the purple and blue box. Now however, after seeing the intense power of the Genjutsu, the incredible wind technique that followed it, and discovered that the originators of the attacks were none other than the blond man and pretty girl; Wysal began to think twice about his plan.

However, since he had already followed them this far and was still undetected for now, he decided he would continue to trail them quietly and watch for an opening. Perhaps he would get his chance after all.

[Rikuo Namikaze]

Rikuo smiled as he and Aiko kept moveing at a slightly slower pace as they could take their time while they moved and he chuckled when Aiko told him to warn her the next time he did something like that and he couldn't help but smile as he looked at her. "Got it Ko next time i'll say warn you before I send a Hurricane at someone" Rikuo said this and kept moveing with Aiko through the trees and it wasn't long before they arrived at the small town that they were suppose to be heading to and Rikuo landed at the Entrance to the village and finaly pulled the scroll from his bag as well as two bottles of water and handed one to Aiko so she could have a drink.

Rikuo took a drink from his own bottle before he opened the scroll and went through some hand seals so that he could get the gift out of the scroll due to him putting a secuirty seal on the scroll to make it harder in case someone stoll the scroll when Rikuo was done their was a poof of smoke and the gift was back Which Rikuo picked up and looked at hit. "Why hello my Boxy freind time to find out what's in you" Rikuo said this looking at Aiko with a smile as the two walked through the town towards Dan's Daughters house to deliver the gift.

When arriving at the village Dan's daughter was at Aiko set a hand on his shoulder as he bent down to take the scroll out and release to seal to get the gift. Something wasn't right...that little voice in her head was nagging her again.

"Don't let your guard down Rikuo, someone might take you getting her and being relaxed for granted..."

Aiko would look around once more before drinking a bit of her water before taking a few minutes to crack her knuckles. It wasn't everyday that ninja seemed to come in this village so while they were looking for Dan's Daughter they would get stares from every person that walked passed them. Aiko smiled sweetly at them and when seeing her and Rikuo as no threat most of the smiled back seeming more calm about them being there.

"Are we almost there?"
