Sword hunting

Yakate kept walking around the vilalge, clueless on where to start searching. Tsumi hadn't given them any specifics on where to search. So... he had to start from scratch.. or something. He kept searching around until he came to a place with nothing but a huge bunch of rubble, beside a huge, abandoned building.

The blade was apparently destroyed so...

"We start searching in here. Me and neko start digging, while Umi stands guard. Tell us if someone, or somehting,show up..."

Sighing heavilly, he heaved himself over to the massive pile of rubble and dust and began digging...

"Hey, I think I remember something from those history scrolls of the Hidden Mist Village.... Wasn't Zabuza buried with his sword stuck to his grave? I think that if we are ever going to find his sword, we better look for his burial grounds...." she smiled and turned around to keep watch, waiting to see if they would like her idea. "Oh, and that's Mizutra to you, Yakate... I'm an Xzeno in training..."

"I think mizutra is right yakate......wow she's smarter than you"

"Of course she is, that's why we're a team, remember?" He said annoyingly at Neko. If he was so great, why not let him be the leader?

Turning to Mizu, he said, "Perhaps... I never read history anyway. So... where do we go know? Be our compass." Getting up, Yakate dusted his arms and yawned. Even in a mission, he felt tired, but still serious. He waited for Mizu to lead them to their next destination...

"I think we should take a break and rest" Looks at both of them"What do you say?"

"You two can take a rest, I'll go and look for Zabuza's burial ground...." she walked away, looking around cautiously and then dashing away to look for the possible location of the sword.

"Hey Miz wait for me"he dashed after Mizutra leaving yakate behind

"I'm not gonna leave a team-mate alone... I'm not even tired yet." Saying that, Yakate dashed after Mizu, easily catching up to her.

"We'll search together... with Neko, if he wants to join us."

Mizutra stopped and thought for a while. "Wait a minute...." she was in deep thought and then she sighed. "Zabuza's sword was stolen from his grave... it's not there anymore...."

Yakate slid himself to a stop, and sighed. Once again, they were clueless as to where to find the sword. Unless Mizu had more of her knowledge to share. This excavation mission would be harder than he thought...

A short man with long brown hair and a single eye patch over his right eye walks up to the group with a huge sword on his back that looks exactly like the sword your looking for.

"Hey, that's the sword!" she smiled and walked towards the man. "Excuse me, mister.... but we're on an excavation mission and we need that sword back... It used to belong to Zabuza Momochi, I believe?"

"I think he won't give us the sword so easy" Neko puts his gauntlets on"You better leave him to me"Neko grins

Yakate put a hand on Neko's shoulders, gesturing him to stop.

"Avoid violence unless absolutely necessary... we don't want any one of us to die."

...

"Even if you have no chance of dying, Neko."

He looked at the strange man standing there, and said, "Answer us, will you co-operate, or must we use force? Nothing will keep us from taking the broken sword..."

The man grinned and grabbed the sword by the hilt and swung it at Yakate. "Does this sword look broken to you?" he asked in a agitated voice.

"Oh, so he's asking for a fight...." she smiled and reached into her pouch. "Please, mister... we don't want unecessary violence..."

Yakate ducked and side-flipped to dodge the slash, and the brushed his hair with his hands, sighing.

"We didn't want a fight..."

This was their new objective; kill the man and steal the sword... maybe not kill, but... meh.

Yakate looked at both his allies; they were eager for a fight, even though he wanted to avoid it. Unnecessary violence...

... Actually, the long journey tired out his chakra supply, so he had to recharge himself. So Neko and Mizu had to take the lead while fighting, which he didn't want... He failed as a leader.

He dashed over to somewhere behind a house, in a dark shadow, and began draining out it's shadow, slowly...

"Neko, Mizu, defend yourself as well as you can, don't attack him!"

The man smiled and dashed at neko the giant sword in hand "are you ready to die boy!?"

Neko grins "So you want to fight me" Neko concentrated wind chakra in his feet then dodged the attack. After that he appeared behind the man and aimed with his gauntlets at his back

"I got him!" she took out three exploding tags from her pouch and hid it behind her hand as she dashed towards the man with her dagger on her other hand.

"I told you to defend yourselves..."

Yakate knew they were fighting after the sounds he heard, from behind the house. His chakra reserves were almost full, soon he would be able to help them out. He just hoped they didn't do anything stupid...

The man smiled as he brought the sword to has back blocking Neko's attack. "looks like the girl wants to die first!" he said as he swung the sword in Miz's direction.

"Die? You must be kidding me, your attacks are two forward!" she jumped up, flipped a few times in the air and landed with her two feet on the sword. "I'm sorry, but this might hurt a bit..." she stuch an exploding tag on the man's forehead and jumped up, landing behind him and sticking another one on his back.

The man smiled as his body exploded but only turned into water, his body then quickly reformed it self. The man grinned as water began dripping from his hand and forming a whip he snapped it at neko's face sending a small amount of electricity through the water as well
