 You have been asked to look into a bizarre set of circumstances, there have been reports of a figuring lurking in the shadows of the decimated village and in the edge of the forest as the villagers and shinobi alike work to rebuild what remains. Although none of the other shinobi have witnessed this personally, reports from the villagers continually grows more numerous. -They will have to conduct a search, both retracing the steps of their jounin and confirming the stories of the villagers, or by simply seeking clues. Hints: *Raz I totally got this idea from you and I love it* Post your word count, it may affect your outcomes.

Location: Senju Compound ~~~~"Every failure is a chance to improve yourself...
~~~I'll never give up until I'm the best that I can be!"~~~~~~~Uani Theme: Kiseki Hajimari
As Uani arrived at the decimated section of the village, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. Normally people would be upset at someone for seeming so cheerful amidst such destruction, but this was Uani after all, people had pretty much gotten used to the Aramori clan head's eternally cheerful attitude by now. However this time Uani was beaming for a reason other than it was just her natural state of being. Now she had a mission, one that would make use of her natural abilities.
"Alright guys! Are you ready for an awesome, Aramori-style mission!?"
Uani stretched out her arms and legs, loosening herself up. Even though Uani had greatly improved her combat skills, she still took the greatest pride in her stealth and evasion abilities. Back at its strongest the Aramori clan were some of the best spies in the world, at least Uani liked to think that. And now she was out to show that that detail hadn't changed. As she looked over to Yuko however she realized the Hyuga probably didn't know about it.
"So Yuko, you've probably never heard of our clan before you met us, right? Well, the Aramori aren't big or strong, but we're masters of stealth, evasion, and intelligence gathering! And this...is definitely intelligence gathering! Inari, we've got the honor of the Aramori clan to think about, so we've got to do our best, okay? Don't go slacking off...remember, your clan head is watching!"
Inari would easily be able to tell that Uani was only joking with him. Despite technically being the clan head, she wasn't one to throw around her authority ever... It wasn't like she had much authority to begin with after all... However, after Uani did something that even Inari would find strange. Despite all her energy, she seemed to calm down, lower her head, and close her eyes. It was like she was concentrating, focusing deeply on something. It didn't seem...'Uani-like'... Most people knew she didn't have any techniques that would take such a deep amount of focus.

Inari
Aramori  Inari arrived next looking around at the destruction of what once had been a portion of the village. The broken timbers and shattered boards of ones way of life, scattered about a barren field that was once lush with grass. Families uprooted, livelihoods destroyed. Inari seemed more docile now, the gravity of the situation finally reaching him. Looking over to Uani as she spoke he smiled. "Yeah, yeah I get it already." he said running his hand through his bright pink hair. "Kinda funny to think of us as super stealthy with such bright hair." he chuckled. Uani may have been young but she was definitely worthy of her position. She was always so upbeat and positive. It was hard to act down or sad around her. She just kept moving forward. "Steady heart, Steady strides, steady progress." he mumbled before placing his hands in his pockets. Seeing uani close her eyes and focus he couldn't help but be intrigued. This had been the longest he had seen her stay still all day. She had to of been serious about this mission. He would have to put forth some effort as well. Ugh... work... oh well can't be helped. he thought bitterly. Silently he began weaving hand signs focusing his own chakra. "Underground projection fish technique." He whispered. Silently Inari began to fade into the ground at his feet. The ground didn't change at all and it was a quick change as he sank to his waist. It was as if he was in water instead of dirt and rock. Stopping himself he waited for the others to be ready... that and he wanted to see what Uani was up to. ((281)) Don't take everything so seriously
If you ignore the fun in life it slips away
and you miss out on your chance to truly live.

Location: Senju Compound Crimson Shadow ~~~~"In the hour before morning's light...
~~~The Crimson Shadow rules the night..."~~~~~~~Crimson Shadow Theme: Kusabikatabira☆Shita Katsu Ue!
As Uani stood there seemingly deep in thought, it would be hard for anyone to know what was going on in her head. Uani was a lot different than she was when she was first in the academy, she had a lot more skills now. However sometimes the task she needed to accomplish didn't require all of her skills... For now she wasn't looking to fight anyone, she needed to focus on stealth and intelligence gathering. She needed to change her mentality for the situation... Though truthfully it wasn't as much necessary as she found it fun...
Once Uani was mentally prepared, the others would see her use what seemed like a simple henge. There was a puff of smoke, and when the smoke cleared, her form had changed into a much more...mature one. The black haired beauty with the blood red garb seemed to have a completely different disposition from Uani, she seemed a lot more cool, calm, and collected as opposed to the overabundance of energy that Uani typically had. Even her voice sounded drastically different.
"Crimson Shadow, at your service. Well then, lets get started, shall we?"
Uani, or rather, Crimson, looked at her surroundings, letting no detail escape her eye. It wasn't often that she was out in the daylight, so it took a little bit of adjusting, but she was still easily able to make not of everyone and everything around her.
"If this person hasn't been spotted by any ninja yet then they must be keeping themselves concealed whenever there are ninja about. So our best chance at spotting them ourselves is if they don't know we're here. We'll search while staying out of sight."
Crimson was already looking about for possible places where she could remain hidden, it would be much harder with the sun out of course but she was, of course, the crimson shadow. It didn't matter what time of day it was, the only time she was ever seen was when she allowed herself to be seen.

Inari
Aramori Inari nearly lost his chakra control and popped out of the ground as Uani suddenly transformed. "Woah! jeeze head squirt you gotta warn me before you suddenly go from squirt to bust. You know thats what I'll call this form. Bust... like busting bad guys and stuff." he said eyeing her new body up and down. Suddenly his face went pale and he jumped the rest of the way out of the ground walking over to stand right next to her. He looked her over again seeming to focus at her head. "Thats cheating..." Then as suddenly as he was on her he fell backwards onto the ground his hands over his face. "Thats cheating! Your taller then me now! How can you be the head pipsqueak if I'm the pipsqueak now and not you!" Quickly popping back up to his feet he grabbed a strand of her hair and a strand of his. "And you see here? Thats cheating too, mines still pink why isn't yours!" he whined. As he heard her speak though he stopped seeming to return to normal. A bit sore on her being taller then him... but normal enough for, well inari. Crossing his arms over his chest he began to slowly sink back into the ground. "Wish i was taller too... stupid smoke...Uani gets smoke and hits puberty mr cigar had smoke too... maybe i need smoke somewhere..." he mumbled as he vanished beneath the dirt. After a few second his head popped back up, "If he moves I'll be able to feel him. We're far enough away that most of the towns people are too far off to feel. So besides us anything else moving is likely an enemy. I'll signal you if I find something." he said before vanishing beneath the dirt once more. ((303)) Don't take everything so seriously

~~~The Crimson Shadow rules the night..."~~~~~~~Crimson Shadow Theme: Kusabikatabira☆Shita Katsu Ue!
Crimson rolled her eyes as she saw Inari's reaction to the fact that she was taller and had black hair. She wasn't the keenest when it came to ninjutsu, but it shouldn't be hard for the boy to perform a simple henge himself instead of whining. Truthfully she was expecting a nosebleed or something from him, not that. Right now it wasn't important though, they had a mission to focus on.
"Alright, stay out of sight and keep your eyes open. If we see something signal eachother. Don't try to act on your own, we don't know exactly who we're dealing with after all."
Crimson jumped up to what remained of the rooftops, the area was hard for an average person to traverse in its current state but it was also the place where people's eyes were least likely to go and also gave her a good view of everything on the ground. Crimson started to make her way through the village, only moving from hiding spot to hiding spot when she was sure she wouldn't be seen. It was easy to see she was a master at this, anyone short of a sensor would have problems sensing her presence, let alone spotting her.

 As the Crimson shadow sailed through the air, she would notice a girl was looking up to her and her expression brightened a great deal. However, she was looking into the area she had moved from since she couldn't actually see which hiding spot she was in before or currently. She continued to stand there staring, not waving but she looked eager to speak with her. Did this girl know something? It was obvious that she had taken damage from the villages destruction. Several others could be seen around her grumbling among themselves; upon a closer inspection she seemed to be somewhat secluded from the rest of them.

Location: Senju CompoundCrimson Shadow ~~~~"In the hour before morning's light...
~~~The Crimson Shadow rules the night..."~~~~~~~Crimson Shadow Theme: Kusabikatabira☆Shita Katsu Ue! As Crimson continued to look around the area, she still couldn't find anything. Having circled the area twice she couldn't find any sign of anything strange. It was possible that they had been spotted when they first entered the area, or that the person they were searching for simply wasn't around or was in hiding at the moment. It was becoming clear that they were going to get nowhere if they were relying on just what they could spot. They would most likely need to do something else...find and follow leads that could put them on the trail of this person.
As Crimson stopped to search again, trying to find something or someone that might have information, she spotted someone. It was a girl, from how she looked it seemed like she had something to say. She appeared to be somewhat separated from the others in the area. Crimson figured that it couldn't hurt to speak to her, 'Crimson Shadow' wasn't one of the Senju's ninja after all, if this person that they were searching for was familiar with the Senju's ninja then there was a good chance he wouldn't suspect her, he might even think her an outsider and possible ally. Crimson jumped down to where the girl was standing.
"Hello there, I'm Crimson. I'm looking into the reports of someone or something strange lurking around the area. Do you know anything about it?"
Asking people at random probably wasn't the most efficient of ways to find this person, but she hoped she got some results nonetheless...

Inari
Aramori Everything looked so much the same, dark brown, brown or black. Then again there was some yellow mixed in here and there. Well To inari everything wasn't just black brown and dirt. He could feel others moving about above. Villagers that had perhaps wandered into the area after they began their search. As well as Uani, or crimson shadow, whatever Inari didn't care what she called herself. Suddenly her direction changed and she headed toward a group of people. Immediately he took out a kunai expecting the worst. Ready to strike at a moments notice... but then again she was approaching whoever it was head on, it must not have been someone she believed to be an enemy. More importantly the other villagers seemed to be avoiding this girl. The real question was why. Moving a bit further away he slowly shifted out of the ground behind the crowd where no one would see him. Making sure to keep uani and the girl in sight. Immediately he noticed something... she had red hair. Branch family perhaps? No impossible the villagers wouldn't be secluding her like this if she was one of ours. he thought calmly. If uani looked over she would see his head sticking out of the ground at about eye level. However his gaze seemed different then his usual lazy cheerfulness. They were cold, focused, and more importantly wary of the girl before her. Raising his hand above ground he showed he held a kunai before vanishing beneath one more to prepare for trouble should it arise.. ((261)) Don't take everything so seriously

The girl was eagerly anticipating the girl's approach. She stood in the shadow of a building's awning, her feet remained in the shadow. As excited as she was she did not move away from where she was. "Wow, that was so coool~ how did you do that Neechan? I wish I could do that, maybe I could train one day if I wasn't so weak. Um, I am sorry; Crimson you said your name Crimon? My name is Yuei, er so you looking for someone lurking about? Well hmmmm..."She began to look around tapping her chin as if she was thinking hard, and she ducked about as if she was looking under the houses, patios, and up to roof tops. Yet, her feet never moved, it seemed as if this girl had either incredible balance or something else was up. Yuei didn't show the least amount of concern as she looked back to them. That was when Inari came up from the ground. Fear took the girls features, and she backed up remaining in the shadow of the building. Pointing at the ground and guarding herself, "Wh-wh-who is that? That's c-certaintly lurking and sus-spicious! Hey you get out of here, what are you doing pointing kunai at people. You petty thug! It's mentatlity like that that led to the downfall of our clan, you vagrant; go away!!!"Any progress made that Crimson may have made, looks like it was just destroyed by Inari's attempt to back her up with lethal force. Now the poor girl was terrified, and warding herself against all persons including Crimson.

Inari
Aramori As the girl spotted him inari cursed to himself. She was on gaurd now, it was unlikely uani would be able to learn anything from him now that she was wary. He had been counter productive. He was going to hate himself for it after though. He would have to opose Crimson and look like a bad guy. He would have to be a bully. But uani was never a very good fighter... he would need to be careful about how he did it. Placing his hands together chakra began to circulate around them. Slowly covering them to his wrists. Reaching up he slowly removed his head band. "Not for this... definitely not for smething so shameful... man this is such a pain. I better be getting extra nap time for this..." he grumbled. Taking a deep breath he threw himself out of the ground and high into the air. As he left the ground he spun his body in the air tossing the kunai at first and then as he spun he dug his hand into the ground digging out a long thin peice of rock. Then as he continued to spin he launched the shard of dirt and rock at them as well. Without enough time to do anything else he fell to the ground fazing back into it sense his underground fish projection was still active. Once below he waited to see what would happen next. He could feel the tremors of the people above. He just had to hope his plan worked. Uani was a bit of a clutz but she wasn't stupid. Hopefully she would know what he was doing and not think he was betraying her... he also had to hope she would be alright. He aimed the kunai above them but the shard was likely dead on. The spinning made it hard to miss because he relied on instinct. The kunai had been fired before the spin from his right hand so he had more time to aim. ((335)) Don't take everything so seriously

Location: Senju CompoundCrimson Shadow ~~~~"In the hour before morning's light...
~~~The Crimson Shadow rules the night..."~~~~~~~Crimson Shadow Theme: Kusabikatabira☆Shita Katsu Ue! As Crimson observed the girl, the first thing she noticed was the fact that the girl's feet never seemed to leave the shadow. It was definitely something strange, it was easy to tell that there was something off about this girl. Crimson didn't let her body language betray her thoughts.
"How I did that? Well just because I don't have ninja training doesn't mean that I can't be just as skilled. It just takes practice... Anyway, Yuei, I'm guessing you haven't seen anyone wandering around that seemed not to belong?"
As the girl seemed to look around in an attempt to spot someone, Inari happened to pop up from the ground in a manner that the girl felt threatening. Crimson at first felt like facepalming, now it would be hard to get anything out of Yuei. However it did give Crimson a bit of an idea.
"That...isn't the guy I'm looking for...but he's definitely a suspicious character..."
Crimson went on her guard. She was hoping that Inari would be able to tell what she was thinking, luckily it seemed they both had the same thought. Inari threw an attack, throwing a kunai off target while throwing a rock that was on target. It gave Crimson the chance to play the hero, but it also gave a bit of an excuse to force Yuei to move from the spot she had been standing. Crimson felt something was strange about how she was standing in shadow and how her feet had yet to move from the spot they were in.
"Yuei! Watch out!"
Crimson jumped to the side, directly towards Yuei. She tried to grab the girl to push her out of the way of the incoming attack, and at the same time she would make sure the girl also ended up outside of the shadow she had been standing in. If she was wrong and there was nothing strange going on, then it wouldn't seem like she had done anything but try to save Yuei. However if there was something strange going on hopefully this would help reveal it.

It seemed this girl was a terrible person in a past life it seemed. For Karma was not kind to her, first was that bizarre kid with the pink hair all threatening and coming out of the ground. Who does that? Then this girl says she isn't a ninja and that she isn't looking for this Olympic rock swimmer, only to have him throw a kunai at them and then a rock at her. Well this certainly was problematic not only for her but her situation. Her eyes widened to the oncoming projectile, but like a deer caught in a set of headlights she was frozen there. As Crimson collided with her, she fell backwards into the patio section of the house, sprawled on her back with her legs dangling over the edge. She was looking dizzy, and out of it but otherwise she was unharmed. The way that Crimson had intended to hit her, and how the girl fell unfortunately were two entirely different things. She was still in the shadows of the awning, though her feet had indeed moved. Perhaps Crimson was over analyzing the situation?

Inari
Aramori Inari sat "listening" for the tremors of what transpired above. It was hard to tell if uani actually knew what he was doing but she was able to get herself and the girl out of trouble. As good as that was though there was a major issue. They had fallen into the patio of a house. He could no longer "Hear" them. So effectively he was blind now. He would have to sit back and wait. Which wasn't what he wanted at all. No he had a good idea. Moving a ways off from the two he found a pile of rubble and began to appear from beneath it. Because he was still mostly in the ground he could hide under just about anything. And with the area still a giant pile of proverbial pick up sticks there were many places he could hide out and still be able to see the two girls. ((154)) Don't take everything so seriously

The captain yelled, heave ho, heave ho, and tied me down with sheets,
A storm is brewing in the south, its time to go to sleep.
His Berth, it rocks, heave ho, heave ho,
The ocean gnashed and moaned
Like Jona will be swallowed whole
and spat back teeth and bones.Yuko HyugaYuko had parted ways slightly form the rest of the group, why they tried to gather information from the locals, she decided to go and see if she could find some physical clues to what was going on. She went to roughly were the location of the figure had been seen and stood there for a moment, she closed her eyes and channeled her chakra into her eyes. She clapped her hands together and made her hand sign. She calmed her mind and became tranquil. The veins around her eyes bulged, her eyes snapping open with enhancement that she pulled from her chakra pool. Her vision expanded and wrapped around the area in three hundred and sixty degrees of vision. She concentrated hard and looked around the best that she could, trying to find any sort of footprints that material that was left behind by someone who might have been fleeing in haste or perhaps even to catch up to someone or something. She would also look for footprints from animals and the like, if there was another explanation to what the strange shadow was, that should be explored too. Admittedly she was a little out of her element when it came to something like this, she wasn’t sure what to do or what would be a good or bad thing to do in this situation. Being only a genin, she didn’t have the knowledge of a detective or anything like that. She scanned the ground with her Byakugan to see if she could see anything, looked at every inch she was able to before she raised the level of her concentrated sight and searched there as well. She slowly made her way up, inch by inch as she searched for something –anything- that was out of place that could lead them to cracking this case so that she would be able to go back to helping the rest of the clan with houses or medical attentions… you know, something she was at least competent with.
As her gaze crawled up the tree she finally spotted something that was not native to the tree tops, at least not to her clan’s territory. She looked up to the foreign object in the tree and her brow bent with worry. She would have to get that down before it was too late, she slid off her shoes before starting to work her way up towards where the thing one. One branch at a time and one careful foot after another until she was at arm’s length with it. It took some stretching, and some gentle coaxing before she was able to grab it and slowly work her way back down the tree again, a bit more slowly than when she went up though. After sliding on her sandals once more she quickly made her way to the Aramori clan girl.
”I may have found a clue to the identity of the culprit in the shadows… behold!” Yuko held out her hands to present the clue that she found high in the tree.
“Meeww~ heart “
Yuko noticed the action that was going on and raised an eyebrow. "W-what'd I miss?" It was obvious that Yuko was a little out of the loop... Yuko Theme Hush love, hush love,
Here's your gown,
There's the bed, lanterns down
But I don't want to go to sleep,
In all in my dreams I drown. Word Count: 512
