Crossing Sutomu Sea

The Sun had already begun setting; Blue sky had turned to Red. Walking through the Swamps wasn't as hard as before now that Yahiko and his men accompanied Raijin, Shimo, and the other stranger who recently tagged along. Exiting the Swamp introduced everyone present to a new setting, one that was much more appealing than those unsanitary Swamps. Here, grassy shrubs and marine plants flourished. Beautiful flowers effloresced, releasing a sweet aroma. Gentile breezes swept across the area and the sounds of waves reaching the shore entered each ear. This was such an unbelievable change!

A few steps over the small dunes of white Sand would allow the viewer to see the Cyan colored water of the beach that sparkled with such a beauty (Bahama and Caribbean water), and a small ship house several meters from the shore. A couple of well built ships laid there in the sand, along with some that were obsolete. What incredible sight it was!

OOC: This shall be the topic that we'll be using to travel to the Rokubi's island. Posting order: Yahiko, me, Shimo, and then Ryo.

Yahiko and his comrade walked for miles on end through the fast land with beauty and praise. yahiko pondered about this so called suicide mission he was on with his friends " hey raijin i didnt think you would even help me since our clan's have fought for ages" he looked at the uchiha and waited for his answer. his head raced with with many questions as to why he was even helping him. maybe he had alternitive motive or just he wanted something out of this trip "Its not like i dont trust you i just wana know your motive young uchiha"

Raijin continued walking beside Shimo, wondering how she was going to react shortly. The soles of his sandals sunk into the hot sand with every step he took. "I know Senju, I didn't think I'd do such a thing. But certain things must be done to obtain power..." Deep inside his hatred for the Senju built up, however, he had so much respect for this man. "You don't need to know my motives Senju. Do not question me any further. And remember that we are both destined enemies, when the time comes we will battle..." The coldest glare had fallen upon Yahiko. At this moment Raijin's hatred had overcome him.

Shimo had been walking behind her traveling party for just about the entire travel. That is until she heard Yahiko and Raijin begin talking. Once that happened she quickly body flickered to Raijin's side placing her hand softly on top of his right shoulder.

"Stay calm Raijin, I understand the hatred between your two clans is strong...but during this mission you two must both remember the need to keep a calm head, one wrong move caused by one of you could end up getting this entire group killed. And i can promise you that if i end up on my way to death i will personally spend my entire afterlife causing you both as much pain as i possibly can." She said, then anger that was always hidden deep within her personality.

Shinji who is known for his great speed was quickly approaching the group of people where Yahiko was and the more he went nearer to them he realized that he was leaving the marsh country to one of the seas that bordered the country. Using body flickers so he could not waste any more time or simply be unable to catch them before they left or at least assuming that they would leave. Seriously, Shinji had never thought of shinobi taking vacations.

The Hattori jumped off a cliff and below he could see on the sand the group he was looking for. Shinji spread his arms wide so they would not consider him a threat but just in case the chuunin was prepared to unsheathe his blade and retract weaponry sent at him. Albeit Shinji landed safely on the sand and looked straight at Yahiko.

"Long time no see, Yahiko." Shinji smirked a bit intimidating. "I am not here to assassinate you though."
The chuunin knew he was talking with an S-rank jounin of his village but now was the time to motivate this Senju and call him to duty.
"I've heard of your exploits lately. You seem to dislike our Kage." Shinji spoke with the same smirk on his face. " But you have a call of duty to answer to. Not by the Kage, not by the Swamp's council but by the people."
"It is your duty, Yahiko Senju to fight the invaders that are threatening the safety of our village." Shinji continued." Remember your oath - it was to the village - and it meant that the village's safety came before your own personal interests."

The lecture wasn't long as it looked like but it was pretty motivating as Shinji knew well that Yahiko and possibly the people around him would be great assets to repel the threat over Swamp. The persuadive chuunin had no other option but to go back to Swamp with Yahiko and the group or just Yahiko.


{{OOC: Kai, time has come. }}

yahiko listen to both Ryo and Shinji and placed his hand on the ground and closed his eyes. for a moment he became one with the wilderness and sense the destruction and torment in his village "We will postpone this mission, for now we must help the swamp" he looked at the Uchiha and Hozuki " my friends i know this isnt what you signed up for but plz help me with this problem and let us take victory. then and only then we will resume our quest for the powerwe seek and save the people one more" he waited for all their responces

Shimo's hand dropped onto Raijin's shoulder; she had asked him to calm down. He had no other choice, after all, her words were very true. Allowing emotions to get the best of him during a mission as dangerous as this would get his comrades killed without a doubt. Right now it was best to cooperate with the Senju and carry out the mission, although, it was going to be something difficult to cope with. "You're right Shimo, I shouldn't waste my time expressing my hatred towards the Senju.

He slowed down his pace when he heard the voice of the stranger who decided to join earlier. Seemed like he something to say about the mission. Raijin gave Ryo his attention and noticed that he instantly felt something and by the looks of it he was overwhelmed. Ryo mentioned powerful chakra signatures coming from the village. And just when things were beginning to get more interesting a shinobi bearing the Swamp symbol on his headband landed before the group.

"Just what exactly is going on here? We have a Bijuu to capture!" The shinobi, Shinji, right there and then gave Yahiko a speech. Information that Raijin gathered from the lecture had put the icing on the cake! A battle was going commence! He smirked and watched Yahiko touch the ground and sense the things around the village using the land itself, this was a remarkable ability. "Senju, although I despise you...I will help you fight these Sand ninja. My eyes hunger for battle..." With that being said, Raijin turned around and darted off towards the village.

Shimo's eyes twitched slightly, her loyalty at the moment may lie with Raijin and Yahiko but she didn't care that much of the saftey of the village at them moment. In her view she would have left the village to be attacked, that way when they came in to take over the village would be in a weakened state. But because her allies where going, she too would go aid in the defeat of the sand ninja, if anything it would allow her to get some training in with her blades.

"Well then my friends....If Swamp is under attack why are we just standing here?" She asked calmly, even if she could care less she was ready for battle and would give it her all.

Ryo's eyes shot open and up to see a man falling form the cliff to land before them and speak to Yahiko. Wow, how could he have been so careless! I guess in the midst of the extremely powerful chakra coming from that direction he blended in. He would have to watch himself and control that more carefully next time. That could have been bad had he been an assassin or something. He spoke directly to Yahiko who then responded with promise to aid the village.

Interesting. They had barely begun and already he was going back to the village. Looks like the Swamp was bringing him back. This place was just full of surprises. Now he'd get to see some Swamp shinobi in action. Along with this blue skinned girl and the infamous Raijin Uchiha. Above all he was interested int eh last one. He might be on a mission to learn about the swamp, but he had his personal interest of becoming stronger, and Raijin was certainly someone to be respected for his skill and power. If he was in so was Ryo!

Recovering himself he smiled wide and yelled after Raijin as he dashed back in the direction of the village,
"Hey wait up! You can't have all the fun!"

Ryo was soon at his heels having to move at a very swift pace. Already he was being challenged just by being around this man. This would be interesting for sure. Smiling as he ran, Ryo considered the challenge accepted.
