Usually he won't start a fight with his Nara techniques. Wearing the subjects down until they are to tired and would have no chance to break free from his grasp. It even makes finishing them off or capturing them completely, much easier. Also when fighting four and one person up top, that fifth person could really make things go bad. 'The best way to win something like this would be to, take down the chunin first. Hurting one from away would make the medical genin tend to his wounds. So with one hit, I can take two out, the second genin would then need to take place of the hurt chunin. ' He made a picture perfect plan within seconds. Wearing his Izanmi, which would prove very helpful. Doing a hand seal, " Kumogakure no Jutsu." A thick heavy cloud came over the four and with Shikari barely inside it. He knew where everyone was within the cloud and could even sense them outside of the cloud, the reason for this cloud was to distract and hide the incoming attack coming toward the unaware shinobi. Within the second that the cloud appeared, the chunin and Shikari were quick to act. The puppet user flung his left arm towards the left chunin, he who was performing hand seals. Seemingly a suitor user, since water outside the body was started to shape. Before he could launch the attack, a chained kunai would meet him in the chest. The kunai would stab deep into the sternal region of the chunin, as he quickly dropped with a shout for help. The right chunin would start to charge towards Shikari with a sword. Not knowing he had a sword, but knowing he was good in close combat, the young genius could infer a weapon of some sort.

Both of the chunin were wearing traditional chunin outfit. They both had their headbands and seemed relatively young.

Meanwhile, the medical genin would rush to the screaming chunin. With pain in his chest, the medic tried to help, but he knew he wasn't going to make it. Even touching the kunai itself was painful for the chunin. He couldn't started to heal it without the kunai in it, so Shikari would do him the favor. As the medic was over the hurt chunin, the boy pulled on his chain, painfully retracting the kunai out of the chest. With the kunai coming back, it slashed the throat of the medic. A cut that made him, stop to put a bandage and sit down crying tears for help. The closet to death, which was understandable. While all this happened, Shikari was charging towards the running opponent. Shikari was sure he killed someone, since he didn't see it, it didn't really effect him. He might drop the ball later...if he makes it to later.

The second genin would perform a couple hand seals and cast upon gale wind to clear the cloud away. Unfortunately for the chunin it was to late. Taking a leap Shikari jumped in the air. "Dainamikku • Entorii!" There was no time for the chunin to react as a foot of metal and wooded plated armor pushed his face away. Flipping back towards the group, Shikari was sure that he heard a couple bones crack.

The captain up top looked in a shock and angered. "Finish him you slim!" As he looked down to the genins. At this time, the chain was retracted and the cloud was gone to show the damage. The medical genin stood up with a bloody bandage on his neck and his hand applying pressure. The other genin stood next to him, with both chunin on the ground. One dead with a wound to the chest and the other blooding from his face. Shikari motioned his hand for the medic to save the chunin. The medic hesitated them rushed to his aid. "Your so much of a coward, you'll send a genin to fight me?" He yelled and pointed towards Captain Fao.

The bloody faced chunin got run and started to charge at Shikari once more. Fao chuckled in the sky, watching his men fail. Both genins could only stop and stare. The chunin at this point was about 10 yards from Shikari. Noticing a giant stream of water coming from the side of the boat, he flung his chain whip once more. The chunin not having clear visibility, was stabbed in his stomach. The chunin coughed up blood and was quickly retracted towards Shikari. In the moment of panic, this time he was truly fearful.

The giant waterfall crashed down towards the two shinobi. The water initially hit the stabbed chunin, as it dragged them both off the boat. suit of puppet took a lot of the damage as some broke off. Flipping through the water, they surely have gotten overboard. The captain chuckled as he watched the boy look death in the eyes. The waterfall would stream them further and further. Yet Shikari's hasty moment saved him. The chain attached to the chunin yanked and reach 20 feet. So at this point the two shinobi were tumbling in the water at a 20 foot diameter. Shikari wasn't dead but the other one was and he wasn't planning on dying here. Shikari was able to get breathes because when the water would tumble them, one would go up and the other would go down. The water was spinning them in a wheel, which when ever time Shikari would go up, he would get air for when he goes down. The tumbling stopped, but they were being pushed to shore. Not after long, the two bodies made it to shore, one facing down and Shikari facing up.

It must have been hours before the boy awoke. He surely must have gulped plenty of water, maybe even to get him sick. The sun was down and it must have been hours that the two bodies were laying on the shores. The water must have knocked him out, barely able to breathe and barely able to get up. Shifting to his elbows, he was surprised that he didn't freeze to death and not even frostbite was present. Somewhat shocking, het certainly was chilly though. His body was dry including his clothing, his puppet that he wore was shredded into pieces and bits and piece fell with every movement he made. His chain whip was broken and it was pointless to carry the rest of it. Slowly taking the pieces off, he felt relieved as some weight was taken off of his body. He looked over to notice the dead body. Slowly exhaling, he ran over to it. He flipped the body over, it looked frail and still was moist to the touch. Lividity set in on its frontal region and the body was stiff. His face was washed of blood, and it revealed that there were some teeth missing. His forehead protector still shined bright though, for something so dead, it still showed he died for a reason. Shikari quickly untied it from his head and wrapped it around his own. Looking over the rest of the body, he would disrobe it. While disrobing he would look through each pocket and take everything of value. Some basic stuff like a map, rations, and some other various small items. He even managed to pull out a yukigakure military I.D. "Shima Shinto."

That was going to be his new identity. At least for now, until he was able to each his way back to the village hidden in the clouds.

Most of it was weapons and he didn't need to bring 20 kunai. Snatching the canteen, he swallowed the full bottle. The fine water would help his body regain much that he has lost.The bottle was then kept by the boy and he looked in the inner pocket of the chunin jacket and pulled out a picture. He took a good look at it and slowly set it down. His heart filled with empathy and he was truly saddened. It was a picture of the two chunin, and their parents at their graduation. He flipped the photo over.

'Don't let anyone bring you down! And look out for your younger brother!
I'll always be proud of you. Your father will give you strength, even if you don't think he is around.

Love Mom.'

Tears came down the boys eyes as to what he realized he had done. Such pain for that mother, he would never want to do that again. Thinking about his own family. "Mothers must feel the worst kind of pain." He said as the tears wouldn't stop. He wasn't pouring tears but he surely had a good flow going. It would take him awhile until he could take his mind off of it. Slowly scavenging the rest of the uniform, he would keep the photo. The worst part, was that the father was gone also.

Quickly putting on the outfit, it did fit a bit small but it almost looked like a fashion trend. Straight legs with a tight top wear and jacket. Looking at himself in the sea water, he branded himself a killer. Thinking about Hisako, he wondered what she did the first time when she killed someone and what she was doing now. He also thought of her naked body, quite a scene. Quickly getting his mind in where he was at, he looked around. He knew where he was and he knew it wasn't good.There was going to be a long walk back to Kumogakure, but that is what he was trained to do. He had a different sense to him, he has already changed. Seeming more mature, and dressed in a chunin outfit. This trip truly changed him, much more than he would ever think. Looking at the map just to make sure where he was, he traveled north. Sticking close to the sea, one day we would make it into friendly territory . Moving only about a quarter mile north from the dead body, he knew he wouldn't be able to move much further. Finding a bundle of rocks which over lapped each other. Knowing he could hide underground, but he was to tired. Finding a bundle of trees to climb in and hide. He would take a nap but it would soon prove to be much longer than that.

He seemed to have slept for almost 18 hours. He rest was much needed as he felt much better. Climbing up to the top of the tree, he could still see the body that he had slain the night prior. Shaking his head in disappointment, he grabbed a pear and then slowly chewed it as he thought about the mother. Pulling out the yukigakure shinobi's ninja pouch, he filled it with as many pears as he could. Leaping down from the tree, he slowly started to move inland. Knowing he wasn't near the village and that he was incognito, he would be fine. Walking hours upon hours to finally reach a small village inland. The hotel was the first place he went to. Tired again from walking so long, he figured his feet needed a rest and so did the rest of his body. Paying with the money that he took from the dead chunin, he would find something asleep within minutes of lying down. He used his new alias to rent the hotel room. Shima Shinto.

Maybe that wasn't a bad idea, maybe it wouldn't matter.

The boy was awoken by a thud on the door. Someone wanted to get his attention and it must have be important by the numerous knocking. Voices could be heard from the other side of the door. The young shinobi was quick to his feet and sensed that there were two people outside the door. They didn't seem angry, but they also seemed strong. The boy quickly ran to open the door, not bringing any weapons with him though. He didn't feel the need for it, which might have been a bad thing. He was still tired though and he wanted to dismiss the two as quick as he could. Walking to the door and opening it, two Yukigakure shinobi were present. Shikari's eyes widened and fear certainly could be noticed on his face. Maybe it was the worst mistake he would ever made in his life. Standing there, in fear, he couldn't move. "Shinto, we are here to recover the body of the dead Kumogakure ninja." The one on the left spoke aloud. He seemed to be a medical shinobi who had a giant scroll and also several red crosses on his uniform. The other seemed to be a courier who had a courier service badge on his right shoulder.

The young genius took a deep exhale as he closed his eyes. Relieved, he thought he was about to die. In the back of his head, he felt like he would never go down so easily. If he did, it would seem to unreal for him. "We will wait outside in the lobby, while you collect your belongings." The courier ninja said as they both bowed down to him. The incognito adult now bowed back, in respect. Closing the door, he could feel the charka of the two leaving. Grabbing all of his belongings, he quickly started to stuff all of his Kumogakure equipment into the bottom of his bag. He stopped at looked at his two headbands, and then quickly stuffed them into the bag. Not having much other equipment, he was ready quickly. Putting on his new chunin uniform and making sure everything was secure and tight. Tying all of his bags around his waist and making sure he was ready to go, he slowly walked outside the door. 'I better get used to the name...Shinto.'

Meeting the two in the lobby they quickly gathered up. Having the plan on retrieving the body and then heading back to Yukigakure. Shikari was leading the way to the dead body and at one point grabbed some a pear from his bag. Opening it wide enough for the courier to see the Kumogakure headband within. Shikari looked up and noticed that the shinobi noticed it. "I like to take the headbands to the ones that I have killed. It's a family tradition." The courier nodded and agreed because it would make sense. "Did you take anything else?"

Smirking, "I took everything."

They finally reached the shore and it was much quicker this time around. Walking up to the smelly dead body, which could have been smelt from a distance. "This is him." Pointing towards the dead body. "He was using some Nara techniques, and he told me his name was Shikari." The two shinobi looked at each other and were not suspicious at all, luckily they never saw Shima Shinto and didn't get a good description of him. Shikari still wasn't sure how they even found him. Nara Shikari was now dead. The medical shinobi would do some rather quick handseals and sealed the body away in the giant scroll. The navigator would then take over and lead them into Yukigakure from a backway, being a genius and a navigator himself, Shikari made sure to know the route. They easily made their way into the village and then Shinto was summoned by the Yukikage himself.

Shintos feet were trembling. His body was sweating and his palms were clammy. His throat was dry and his knees were weak. He was going to have a conversation with the leader of his enemy, all without him every knowing...possibly. Maybe this was all an entire trap and he was just being played a fool? Of course Shikari would not let himself meet his own demise! Being a shinobi of The Great Village Hidden in the Clouds, he had a reputation as a shinobi to maintain. Ever to give up! Which has been one thing he has learned so far. He has already done so much and he has stolen lives. He would never let those lives to go waste, as his own would waste away. Building up some confidence, most of it quickly faded away as he meet the massive snow doors of The Yukikage office. Slowly knocking, he was granted permission to enter by the voice that laid inside. Shikari couldn't sense any other people inside and the emotion he got from the leader was pride. He also seemed excited , maybe he had him played as a fool?

"Yes Sama?" The adult stood up, strong, even though he still looked tired and something about him seemed mature. His eyes were that of bloodshed and he knew some pain. The leader of the village looked him up and down and looked at him from his folder that he had on his name. "What happened to your katana...and why is your hair blue?" The adult was shocked by the questions, but he was going to be shocked by whatever the leader of the village dead. "Sama, my katana broke during our battle. The enemy was a puppet user and we both managed to break each others equipment. As for my hair, he pulled a sticky suiton jutsu and it just won't come out of my hair!" He said with a bow. The leader laughed and then stood up. "I would like to congratulate you. You have proven yourself worthy time and time again, and you are so young and passionate." Shinto nodded his head and he truly did seem strong and brave.

"I would like to give you some time off, so you can spend it with your family. I am not sure if you know what happened to your brot..." The leader was interrupted by the adult as he easily could be seen with tears in his eyes. Sniffling loudly, the leader understood his feelings. Yet he really didn't. Shikari was still upset about the truth of the situation, the mother thinking her son is alive and a hero, but is dead along with his younger brother. A sad story that even the strongest can be broken. "I want to go back to the fleet sir." His master plan was going to become executed, being out in the field was the best way he was going to be able to get home. "One last mission, before I rest." He bowed his head and looked at his leader in his eyes.

"Very well, I see in your file that you are strong and I will give you a chance. You are to lead a small cell team to see how close you can get to the Kumogakure village without being spotted. Your mother has told me that you have always wanted to join our assassination squad, this is your chance. The other members will also be chunin, I expect you to make a map of where you went and how easy it was to get there. Be back with as much information as you can without getting yourself killed. Understood...Shinto?" The boys response was very relaxed, as he knew he wasn't going to die going to his own village. Already thinking of some ways to be able to capture the cell, he felt confident. The Yukikage pulled out a scroll from his desk and handed it to Shinto. 'Trail mission for Assassination Sqaud Leader.'

"You won't be disappointed Yukikage-Sama!." The boy smiled with joy, knowing he was going to be able to go home soon. The leader only smiled as he saw the adult run out of his office.
