Wanizame Goes with the Crows: Heading for Iron Country

Age : 34 Posts : 591

Wanizame wasted no time in summoning Nigai, using a senbon to prick his thumb before performing the overly practiced hand signs and easily pulling the bird out of her home and to him.

“Good afternoon Madame Crow, I do believe we have a lot to talk about on our way towards my training grounds."

“Oh Good Wormchild, so your meeting with the Raikage went well? I am surprised you are not trying to ride me all the way to the rain…” came Nigai’s obviously joyful response. It wasn’t every day that an animal kingdome actually got what they wanted from the human world. This seemed quite the treat to her indeed.

“Well Madame Crow… I have permission to perform half of my training now and half at a later date. It’s called diplomacy and-“

“I know what Diplomacy is boy, and I’ll be sure to let the Elder Crow know about this ‘diplomatic’ decision of yours on my return trip. I’m sure he’ll accept it, but I imagine he’ll be awfully grouchy about it Wormchild.”

As if he hadn’t summoned her at all, she vanished into a puff of smoke as Wanizame continued his way down the mountains and towards the Land of Iron. The crows wouldn’t take too long to deliberate, they were efficient in that manner if a bit superfluous in their overly organized manner. Nigai would return and his teachers would make their way to the new training zone as specified by the Raikage’s orders. It might not end prettily for Wanizame’s training, but it would get the job done at his current level of training while expecting great things from him in the times between honoring his agreement with the crows. Fingertips fiddling with each other, he suddenly felt the need for haste rather than calmly stepping boulder by boulder down the side of the mountains.

Closing his eyes and focusing his senses for just a moment, Wanizame hurriedly began bolting down the side of the mountain at a breakneck pace, leaping from one foothold to the next so with a temporary grace given to him by adrenaline and nervousness. It is only at the last second he remembers to remove the lizard with the scroll on it from his shirt and drop it gingerly onto a nearby rock to skitter back towards Kumo.

Wanizame was ready to cross the border into Iron Country.
