Mission: Bandits in The Fang Country

[ren]

Ren shook her head, "Not really. Your plan sounds fine to me," she said smiling. She had definitely made a bad impression already to her teammates for being late, now no ideas? Wow, bad day....

[Takumi]

Takumi noticed something in Ren's expression. He had known this woman for three years now, he could tell when something was off. He checked to see if anyone was watching and slipped a hand to her back. "I'm glad you made it." He whispered to her, before starting to check his equipment. Ten shuriken, and five kunai, five more stored in a kunai holster attached to his hip, were his special chakra channeling kunai. He slipped a brown jacket over his shoulders and was ready to go.

"heh defensive postition, come on these are BANDITS were talking about. Why should WE, NINJA, be on the defensive."

Kajou really didn't feel like being a little chicken and waiting to ambush the bandits or whatever this guy was suggesting. If he knew the Genious Hyuuga Neji and his even smarter genious friend Nara Shikamaru, they could take them all out in five minutes by themselves.

"Why don't we break their spirits and make them become frightened by everything we do. This is an easy mission so we should have fun with it, and besides, they deserve a good scare"

Kajou had a little sadistically evil plan concocted in his head. It involved scaring them to death, freaking them out, making them go insane, and beating them to a bloody pulp. Some may say its a little strange but he really felt like hurting someone.

[Takumi]

Takumi looked up from his weapons check. "Do you know the terrain? Or the location of their camp? If we were to be ambushed, it would be devastating even if they are just bandits. But if you don't feel like waiting, while we set up we could start scouting, and organize into a more aggressive team."

[Cloudsofstrife]

Kajou was totally shocked, he had forgotten about all the other stuff, how could something like that have slipped his mind. Atleast he could scout the area, get a good idea of the terrain, and he might still be able to do the things that seemed best to him.

"Well, maybe we could take a day or so to memorize the terrain and the location of the camp, THEN totally make them feel the pain of which they so surely deserve..."

No Kajou was not insane, or so he thought

[Takumi]

Takumi nodded, satisfied that they had a good start. He pushed open the gate to Konoha, and gave his teammates one last look, before starting out towards their destination.

((If anyone still wants to strategize thats fine, I didn't mean to rush out of there ))

[ren]

Ren followed quietly behind, surveying the environment. She didn't really need to do this, she knew the terrain well, but you never know if there could be any traps nearby. She looked ahead to her teammates and smiled. Hopefully the mission would go well. They all looked like nice guys.

[Takumi]

Takumi was walking near the middle of the group, his eyes unfocused. He turned to Ren and smiled, slowing down to walk next to her. He shifted his attention between the mission and Ren. It probably wasn't a good idea, but Takumi thought the mission was too boring, and that Ren was much more interesting.

[ren]

Ren smiled as Takumi slowed to walk with her. She looked at his expression, and he seemed like he was thinking about something. She leaned over and breathed into his ear, sending chills through him.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked innocently.

[Cloudsofstrife]

"What are you two love birds up to eh?"

Kajou rudely jumped inbetween Takumi and Ren and gave a wary glance to both of them.

"Do I have to separate you two?"

[Takumi]

Takumi laughed, before reaching out and putting the kid in a headlock. "Do you know what a buzz kill is kid?" Takumi sighed and let the kid go. He looked about him taking in the scenery for the first time in a while, noticing the subtle shift, the terrain becoming bumpier, and the looming mountains off in the distance. That was it, the Fang Country, and somewhere in there was the village that was being assaulted. His mind drifted back to the mission. Forty lives. And however many villagers have already been killed. Was it justified to kill these bandits?

[ren]

Ren laughed, smiling at the boy. She thought he was sweet. Hopefully he wouldn't get hurt during the mission. She hoped no one did. But it wasn't possible. She looked away from her teammates and looked to the sky, her face serious again. The number of bandits was overwhelming, but she believed in Takumi and the others. She knew they would get through this.

[Takumi]

By the time they entered the mountains night had fallen. The shinobi were walking along a path between two mountains, right in the perfect spot to be hit with that d**n cold wind. Takumi felt pretty tired. The terrain was rough, it was dark, and they were still vulnerable. It might be best to make camp... He pulled out a map and checked the distance to the village. They still had a while before they reached the village, and if they showed up as tired as he thought they were, it wouldn't help much. "I guess we should stop here and rest for the night." He said out loud for everyone to hear.

[ren]

Ren nodded, setting down her things. She looked around the area and looked back to Takumi.

"Do you want me to scan the area? Set up chakra fields or something?" she asked him. Her chakra skills had improved in the past years, and she was proud of them. She could send a small amount of chakra the size of a thread around the area and at a slightest misplacement of her chakra, she could sense the movement and warn her teammates. Finally something useful...

[Takumi]

Takumi looked at her with an expression that said, Wow isn't she great? "That'd be perfect." He smiled and went to check out the sleep arrangments. He hoped Ren didn't have to stay up to keep the Chakra field running. He would feel bad if she didn't get any rest, while everyone else did.
