"Stop right there!" A gruff voice yelled out from just outside of the bamboo forest's edge. The target of said command seemed to be a young man who just moments earlier proceeded to stumble clumsily into the dense forest of bamboo carrying a large amount of food he had nicked from a small village only about a mile or so away. All that could be heard as the messy haired brunette disappeared from initial sight was a sort of muffled giggle that came from trying to laugh with a mouth stuffed with food, which he had already begun to eat not moments after absconding with it. The small group of people that had given chase consisted of three burly villagers and a smaller older man who looked to be in his late twenties with long black hair and rather sullen look who seemed to be a ninja from the grass country who had been in the area on patrol. Needless to say he took command of the small group rather quickly as he began to coordinate a plan to capture the food thief. "Om nom nom nom!" Saru called out in a rather joyous tone as he buried his face in the abundance of food he was still carrying as he dashed randomly through the forest occasionally tripping over his own feet but surprisingly managed to miss every bamboo shoot albeit in a clumsy manner. The was the young man was carrying on you would think he didn't have a clue that he currently had pursuers but that couldn't be further from the truth. At this particular moment Saru simply fancied himself a game of tag and this seemed like a very fun location to carry out such a game, and that brought a wide grin to the young nukenin's currently full mouth.

"There he is!" the same voice that had tried to impede he progress only minute earlier cried out, and within moments two of the villagers who had given chase where now on both his right and left side keeping a fairly decent pace with the food poacher. Without warning they both threw a fist towards the scrawny man that now ran between them, mouth still stuffed with food although the pile he had in his arms had diminished significantly. The attacks were dodged rather effortlessly as Saru considered their arms no more than horizontal shoots of bamboo and avoided them by pausing for a split second before stumbling from side to side haphazardly seemingly on the verge of falling on his ass with every tipsy movement. After dipping and dodging through the barrage of fists Saru merely belched at one of his pursuers before giving a goofy grin and speeding off once more in the opposite direction only to be met by a volley of shuriken which he seemingly only managed to avoid by tripping over himself once more, only this time he actually fell to the ground where the villager who had group up with the grass shinobi was already in the process of trying to kick the criminal while he was down. This however was not acceptable as Saru was not quite ready to end this game yet. A split second after introducing his face to the ground Saru had already began to spaz out erratically narrowly avoiding the kick aimed to his ribs before quickly springing upwards forming a single hand seal coating his hands in a weird amber haze and before the brawny villager has time to react Saru had already thrust both of his fists into his chest casing a small explosion of the thick amber mist that a second earlier had covered his hands.

The impact of his double punch itself wasn't all that powerful to be honest as Saru wasn't exactly a beefy guy however physical damage wasn't the point of the attack which became apparent by his target's current state of mind which seemed to be familiar. As the mist cleared the villager's silhouette appeared momentarily before he made an actual appearance stumbling out of the dissipating haze quickly tripping up and falling flat on his face trying in vain to get up. In the confusion Saru had already made his exit from the area, stupidly stumbling through the bamboo forest once more all the while getting better at it from the looks of it. While the two villagers who weren't in a toxic induced stupor had decided to give up on chasing him after seeing the rouge's weird jutsu the Kusa ninja had decided to continue his pursuit considering it was his job to do so. This being said he was hot on Saru's heels by only a few meters. After about 5 minutes of having to deal with this criminal's stupid antics the shinobi had finally lost his patience as he drew a few exploding tags from his pouch and began to attach them to his kunai. With all his targets before he could predict their movements to at least some degree which always made them at the very least an easy target in a situation like this but this baka didn't seem to know what he was going to do next so who could somebody else hope to predict his movements accurately if he wasn't capable of doing it himself. With that thought he would just have to try hoping the blast radius from the explosion would at least wing him and stop his movements.

"Gahhhhhh!" Saru called out before diving forward effectively belly flopping the forest floor as the explosive kunai went off only a few feet behind him. While throwing him off slightly Saru wasted no time in scrambling to his feet and quickly jumping high into the air just as his pursuer had tossed another little exploding present at his feet. Saru while dodging the explosion could feel the heat from it on his ass which only motivated him to spaz out even more so than he had been doing as he grabbed onto one of the large shoots of bamboo and began to jump from one to the other like a monkey trying his damnedest not to get exploded. This went on for a few minutes until at last most of the area was reduced to nothing and the bamboo shoot he had chosen to jump from next snapped upon his landing causing him to fall a small distance an opportunity which the Kusa shinobi took advantage of without hesitation as he manged to peg the left leg of Saru's pants in midair. Much to his dismay however upon landing the idiot hopped out of his loose fitting pants much like a frog on a skillet leaving them to explode behind him as he laughed madly running off in his blue cloud patterned boxers, literally escaping by the seat of his pants. After a few moments of running the silly bastard had come to a large clearing where he immediately laid eyes on a gigantically large black and white rock and without pause for thought jumped on it thinking it would make for a superb hiding spot. As he laid down he noticed this was perhaps the softest and fuzziest rock he had ever had the pleasure of laying on before and began to roll about it happily taking in the fuzzy euphoria.

The Kusa ninja was for the most part was unable to comprehend his current situation as he rushed through the bamboo still in pursuit of the strange thief. He had fought many skilled opponent in his career and had come out on top most of the time but this idiot without even trying attack in defense was giving him such a difficult time and was able to do so all the while stumbling like a moron. While at this point it was obvious the kid had some understanding of chakra the way he acted and carried himself during a conflict was completely unbecoming of any shinobi he had ever seen. As these thoughts went through his head all the while making him angrier and angrier he finally reached his destination to find his target riding around on a gigantic enraged panda which was at this very moment trying very hard to toss the intruder off it's back to little effect from the looks of it. "Weeeeeee!" Saru cried out gleefully as his hands grasped tightly around the giant panda's fur as he was whipped back and forth in the panda's attempt to relieve itself of the glorified flea on it's back. Finally having enough of this human's shenanigans the panda quickly rolled over entirely not only squishing the human into the soft dirt beneath it but also getting him to release his grip. Wasting no time Saru quickly bounced up before coughing up a bit of dirt he had ingested and wiping of the remainder of his clothing all the while ignoring the current situation of the angry mammal behind him.

Oh hai! Saru said with a large smile as he waved to the man who had been trying to kill him minutes earlier. As he approached his new acquaintance he could feel a large vibration under his feet slowly turning in the vibration's general direction only just now realize the giant fuzzy rock was actually a giant panda like creature that now seemed to be baring it's teeth aggressively for some reason. Taking that cue Kasu began to back away slowly, nervously laughing in the process as the panda viciously rushed him taking a powerful swipe at him which he manged to dodge be quickly stumbling back and falling on his ass. The Kusa ninja was not so lucky however as he was batted away like a small toy. Luckily a group of bamboo halted his progress and broke his fall although he would still be out cold for a while. This of course all mattered very little to the young man as he was already well on his way out of the area as even being the goober he was he knew danger when he saw it. "Nuuuuuuuuuuu!" Saru pronounced loudly as the giant panada smashed through the thicket of bamboo behind him not having to worry about running in between the tall stalks as if got ever closer to it's prey. A sign of relief could be heard from Saru as he finally managed to make his way out of the bamboo forest and into a field of medium length grass that came up to about waist level. Pausing to catch his breath he soon realized that leaving the bamboo laden forest did not mean safety as he was swatted like a fly across the field bouncing along the ground like a rock across the water.

The pain this young man felt at that moment was to a much lesser extent than most others would be but that could be a blessing or a curse depending on the situation. In any case Saru managed to pick himself up and stand up with a little difficulty. He could only stand there motionless as the large panda made it's way ever closer some of it's rage having diminished after getting in good hit but it was clear that Kasu's new fuzzy friend wasn't through. Without missing a beat Saru went on the offense for the first time that day zig zagging from side to side narrowly dodging the panda's heavy swipes either by hopping of them or bending his body just out of it's reach. At this point the the drunken fool had already whipped his sleeves back and was now in the process of preparing a jutsu which was done in a matter of seconds as he held his right hand out just after dodging a powerful vertical swipe that shook the ground by twirling out of the way. A small baseball sized orb of liquid had formed in his palm and without wasting another moment he had sent it flying rapidly into the panda's face detonating it, effectively covering the bear in a dense haze of the strange toxin. In seconds the furry beast was out cold sleeping soundly. With that Kasu stood in triumph, well wobbled in triumph anyways as he about faced and sauntered off onto his next adventure. If there was every a way to push one's limit on their ability to run it was getting chased by a giant panda whose intent is to eat you.
