((Much, now my Leaf-nins don't look so stupid.))
---
This wasn’t going to work, Ryo had been sitting in the office for sometime now, but she had nothing else for him to do but help with the reconstruction. At the moment, any and all missions from other clients were either A or B ranked, and she needed to get as much money as she could to help this village.
“I don’t know what I can tell you, Ryo-san. There’s nothing else to do, but clean.” She said off-handedly, not bothering to look up from the mission papers that she was delivered, Shizune was off to the side; her right, quickly filing said papers as they were handed to her. TonTon lay curled comfortably in Tsunade’s lap.
Seconds later, a rapid knocking was at the door. Annoyed, Tsunade barked out for the person to enter. Surprised she was to see one of the ANBU squad come through her door. Instantly on her guard, Tsunade nodded her head in show for the guard to speak. Bowing the guard kneeled before her desk and took a breath.
“Lady Hokage, there’s an intruder.” The guard exhaled.
A frown covered her face, “From where? And whom?”
“He approached us at the Gates, said he was looking for a missing-nin from Rain.” The ANBU answered softly. Tsunade’s frown deepened as she leaned forward and rested her elbow on her desk.
“Fuyu Ishi. He’s the latest one from Rain in the Bingo Book.” She said, more to herself than the guard. The guard nodded his head in understanding, still keeping his kneeling position before her. Tsunade leaned back in her chair.
“Then what?”
The guard continued, “He thanked us, and began to walk away before sending two clones as a distraction and making his way in.” Tsunade’s honey-eyes flared angrily.
“He made his way in?! Track him down, and if he resists, make him useless.” Tsunade ordered with a growl. The ANBU nodded his head and disappeared with a gust of air. Roughly, Tsunade turned to Ryo.
“I have a job for you, go find Kaji and tell him his assignment is canceled. He is now to track and retain Fuyu Ishi of Rain, the missing-nin. He should know who he is.” Tsunade growled out. She turned to Shizune with a wicked and angry glint in her expression.
“These missing-nin are really starting to piss me off!”

[It made my post longer to.]
(Yo)
He had been daydreaming a bit. When he heard someone talking to him, he looked back at Tsunade. "I understand Tsunade-sama." There wasn't really much that could be done right now except clean. "I am willing to con--" Before he could finish the sentence, there was rapid knocking on the door.
His attention when to the door. He was surprised to see an ANBU member there. What was going on? He listened carefully since he was certain that it couldn't be good. He noticed that Tsunade had gone on her guard. Ryo had done the same.
An intruder? From Rain? What would they be doing here? He had gotten into the village? When Tsunade turned to address him, he looked at her. He knew that she was angry. It was very easy to see. He listened as carefully as he had been a moment ago. He nodded as he stood up. "I understand." He bowed in respect before turning and heading towards the door.
He had caught the last comment before closing the door but didn't comment. Once the door was shut, he ran down the stairs. He had to find Kaji quickly. Where would he be?
---
(Fuyu)
"Hm. Let's see if I can find a ramen stand." He said as he looked around as he walked. He hadn't eaten since last night and he needed food. As he was walking, he saw a booth that read: Ichiraku Ramen Shop. Good. He began making his way towards it.
Once he got to it, he ordered a takeout of miso ramen. He waited for the food and then payed the man. He nodded his head in thanks before walking away. So far it had been easy. "Surely they should know that I am here by now." He said to himself; quietly.
After he had walked a good ways away from the ramen stand, he saw two people walking together. He stopped walking and looked at them. One of them seemed like he was just a little boy. Had to be around eleven or twelve. The other was obviously much older than that.
A little kid huh? This ought to be fun. He had already finished his ramen and had thrown it away when he had come across a trash can. Now, he was following the two and being silent as he did so. He lowered his chakra level so it would seem like he was just a Genin or an Academy student.
Ishi kept to the shadows so that he wouldn't be seen. The closer he got, the more there seemed to be to the boy. This really should be interesting. Occasionally he would jump onto a roof and follow them that way, but he mostly stuck to the shadows on the ground.
---
(Yo)
As he moved through the village, he spotted a couple people on the air walk of the village. He moved towards it hoping that one of them was Kaji. The closer he got, the more he was able to pick out who it was. Thank goodness. "Kaji!" He shouted as he jumped onto a roof and over to where he was.
He landed a ways in front of him hoping that doing that would be the best thing to do. He wasn't sure if he had heard him or not. At least this way, he could be sure that he would stop. "Tsunade-sama sent me to tell you that you have a change in mission."

((I don't hate much in this world, but after two years of service. I've decided that I hate comcast's internet service. I hate it so much that words can't even begin to possibly describe the depth of my hatred.))
Jeiden swore while barely soaring over Azuri, having overdone the power on his kick. He landed uneasily on the dirt ground, not quite getting his footing at first and skidding several feet before coming to a sound halt. Feeling slightly wary of Kero possibly attacking or making a diversion, He mainly focused on Azuri while keeping Kero in his peripheral vision. "Yeah...I'm liking this!" He called in a half-crazed voice, he hadn't lost himself in a fight since he was an Academy student.
The two shuriken flew towards the boy, then struck him solidly in the chest. BAMF! In a poof of smoke, Jeiden disappeared and one of the straw dummies from before took his place.
The boy silently dashed towards Azuri's back from a new position, his fists beginning to glow with red chakra. Feeling his adrenaline spike in anticipation for the strike. He drew back a glowing fist, and sent it flying at Azuri's back.

Looking back a small bit towards the continuing match between the two younger ninjas, Kyoji's eyes caught a figure following them, the Chakra readings were...Rather low.
However, from what he could see from the breif glance that had been made, this person, despite the appearance of low Chakra, had the physical prowess of a skilled Ninja.
Kyoji hadn't resisted the slightest when Moscow had begun to drag him to find food. Infact, even now there was a grin on his face, he was truly starving, well...He wouldn't die anytime soon if he didn't eat, but his stomach was trying to convince him otherwise.
"...Hey...Moscow." Kyoji now lowered his voice considerably, "...You don't happen to have a bodyguard who focuses on taijutsu following you?" Despite realizing the two of them were being followed, he reamained completely calm. It was certainly not the first time he had been stalked...
---
"Ryo? A change in the mission, eh? So what is it?" Kaji placed his right palm on the shoulder of Aisu, signalling, if he hadn't already, for him to halt. His shadow clone, however, continued it's patrol in the opposite direction. The Jounin sighed a bit, a change in mission was never a good sign unless it meant new allies.
However, that was surely not the case. Itachi and Kisame would never exactly go to the Hokage and say 'Lets be friends.'
He realized that there was a new problem if she had decided to halt the search for Itachi and Kisame. The wind blew lightly, strands of his hair were caught by the breeze and blown into his face, for a moment covering the wounded eye.

Moscow slowed his walk to gently pace beside Kyoji. He had noticed the figure following them some time now, and had instantly gone on guard, as always. For a few minutes, Moscow tried to ignore the presence, but after a while, he was starting to become annoyed. Only when Kyoji asked his question did Moscow decide it was time to lose the stranger.
“No, Toshiue-sama. The man is not with me. He is too noticeable, jumping from building to street, hiding like no one can see him, and the fact that he lowered his chakra to that of a Genin’s level is extremely suspicious to me.” Moscow answered softly, his tone making him sound like the ninja he was. Moscow’s eyes narrowed and it seemed to everyone else that he was angered.
“He’s annoying me. There’s the ramen stand, we’ll eat and if he continues to follow us, then I’ll deal with him once we assure your presence will not be noticed.” Moscow explained, he didn’t want to start anything, especially if it meant risking Kyoji’s low-profile visit. But at the moment, it couldn’t be help, and his stomach was already calling for attention.
Taking a seat at the booth, Moscow released Kyoji’s hand and called to the owner, “One bowl of Miso, please!” Moscow called before turning to Kyoji, “What will you have, Toshiue-sama?”

He nodded. "Apparently a missing-nin from Rain has gotten into the village. Tsunade-sama wants you to track him down and retain him. His name is Fuyu Ishi. She said that you should know him."
The small breeze caused his hair to shift slightly as he waited for Kaji's response. He nodded to Aisu before turning his full attention back to Kaji. He could be anywhere in the village at this point.
---
(Fuyu)
He stopped walking for a moment as he watched them carefully. The other guy didn't seem to be a tracker-nin so he didn't have to worry. After a moment, he started following them again. He still managed to keep to the shadows even if he had to go around some people.
A small breeze just barely moved his tattered cloth and hair. The loose cloth from his hetai-ate moved slightly more than the cloth and his hair. He saw them stop at the ramen stand and waited in the shadows.

"Despite the fact I can tell you're skilled Moscow...It appears you are, combat-wise, you're outmatched. If he poses a threat I'll deal with him." For a moment Kyoji was distracted, then he heard the mention of food. Despite the little annoyance of being followed.
Kyoji's stomach was now in control, "A bowl of chicken ramen, whatever size you would like to order Moscow. You are buying afterall." The smell of spices and noodles only made the wanting of his empty stomach complain more.
The last time he'd been treated to a meal was in the Thunder Country, only it wasn't for any past exploit...And he'd gained the attention of hunter-nin, so he was forced to leave.
---
"Fuyu Ishi?" Kaji's face contorted a bit, it was obvious that this bit of information had been stored deep within his mind, he knew the name, but at the time...It hadn't been as important as the wolf cub he was playing with. Curse my short attention span...
Finally the ninja's face lit up, he had remembered the little info given. Fuyu Ishi, Missing-Nin of the Rain, Genjutsu Specialist...A dangerous one.
"Alright. Ryu, watch over Aisu, take him back to the Hokage I suppose. I'll search for Ishi. I know what he looks like. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" At that, the skywalk became a living mass of clones. "Alright. We are going to scour every inch of Konoha for this Missing-Nin. Once you find him release yourself."
A small circle was formed around the original Kaji, Ryu, and Aisu. "See you guys soon." A warm smile and a two finger wave of a salute were all that were seen before the Kaji's vanished from sight, with the side effect of a rather large gust in the general area.
Within seconds, atleast fifty copies of Kaji were scouring the streets, alleys, and a few, the training areas of Konoha.

So he does know him. A little at least. From what he had gathered when the ANBU member and Tsunade had talked, this missing-nin could be dangerous. How dangerous though? Any other time he would want to find out, but from what he was guessing, he didn't want to find out this time.
"I'll get him back to the Hokage. Good luck Kaji." He nodded to him before they disappeared. The gust caused his hair to move more and the cloth from the hetai-ate that hung down to hit his legs. After that was done, he turned to Aisu. "Let's get back to Tsunade-sama."
---
(Fuyu)
He saw some people looking around as though they were trying to find someone. A smirk came over his face. He didn't hide his chakra level anymore. He did hand seals quickly. "Abura Bunshin no Jutsu (Oil Clone Technique)" He created about twenty to thirty clones and sent them off throughout the village. He himself, however, did not move from his spot.
The other clones were scattered throughout the village just waiting in a certain spot for someone who was looking for him to come to them. When they were found, they would take off running on a chase. The fun has begun. He thought to himself as he kept his eyes on the ramen stand while keeping himself alert.

Moscow didn’t hesitate to wait when his bowl of food arrived, and quickly dug in, listening to Kyoji as he tried to politely jump around the fact that he was, indeed, an eleven-year-old incapable of doing certain things. Grinning after inhaling his food, Moscow turned to Kyoji with a smirk.
“Tch, I know size-wise, I’m waaay out classed, but it’s not size that matters when you’re from the Sable Clan.” Moscow explained, slipping the money to the owner as he passed by. Just as soon as the money was taken, an electric shrill shot up Moscow’s spine, sparking his sensitive nerves like fireworks, and momentarily making his hair stand on end.
“He’s not hiding anymore.” Moscow growled, turning in his chair to fully face where he had felt the source of the chakra. His ruby red eyes darkened angrily and were now a nasty blood red, but his smirk remained planted smugly on his lips.
“The fool. He didn’t even bother to move from his spot.” Moscow whispered to Kyoji, “Leaf-nins are not so stupid. They’ll find the clones and trace their chakra signal that they had so imprudently failed to cover up.” Moscow murmured to Kyoji, “He released it without bothering to move or cover up – stupid.” The little flaxen haired boy spat.
“Will you be handling him, Toshiue-sama?”

"Hah!" The army of clones had this exact reaction once the chakra began to flair. This meant new plan....And they were all thinking the same thing. Seek and destroy the clones, while attempting to find the original.
"Kaen Genkotsu!" Intense flames surrounded a good twenty of the clones, the Jutsu took the manipulated Chakra and used it in two seperate ways, a shielding Chakra to protect the user from the flames, and flame chakra to...Well burn things.
All the while the real Kaji focused on the unmoving Chakra signiature. "...Heh. There you are." He smiled in the direction of the Ramen Shop, he would need to get the fight out of the streets...
Konoha Shunshin!" A veil of leaves engulfed the body of the ninja, and the remaining clones. If he could not persuade him to leave, he was sure that thirty copies of himself could help.
Kaji began to prepare his mind to find any oddities and get ready to dispell any Genjutsu that may be cast on him. This was a fight he planned to be completely prepared for.
---
"Indeed. He is endangering the innocent villagers. You've probably noticed that most of the Ninja are away on missions..." Kyoji's chakra was now no longer subdued to make him look like a simple traveller.
He began to ready his body for a fight, reaching out and rolling his shoulders to get out any knots in the muscles from the time being unused.
Once he had finished he smiled to Moscow, "Stay inside, or watch. Just try and not get hurt." And walked out of the small ramen shop. Kyoji's mind began to sift through the knowledge he had, the jutsus he knew.
For the moment there were none he knew of directly, but this Ninja was obviously a master at chakra control...
He now looked upwards to where he knew the Ninja to be...Above the shop. Too bad he was also watching for Kyoji, or more likely Moscow, to leave.
---
A gust of wind blew a large veil of leaves, and hidden within it, Kaji, over the roof one of the buildings beside Ichiraku's. Once the leaves had past the Ninja appeared from within them...
Two unknown ninj- And now Kaji couldn't help but stare once he saw the face of the new Ninja...It was...His own, or...What he would look like if he was darker, and without a scar.

When he saw the elder of the two walk out from the stand, he watched him carefully. The smirk had never left his face. Without standing up or taking his eyes off of Kyoji, he began doing hand seals. "Kirigakure no Jutsu(Hidden Mist Technique)."
When the thick fog appeared so that it was difficult to see, he remembered where the ninja that had appeared from out of the ramen stand had been standing and stood up. He jumped down off the roof before he began running in another direction. He was going to make this as much fun as he could right now.
After he turned three corners, he stopped running and lowered his chakra level once again to that of an Academy students. He walked with his arms hanging loosly at his sides. He seemed to have an air of carelessness about him. He recieved a few odd stares but didn't mind them much. To anyone else, it would seem as though he wasn't taking into account his surroundings. In truth, he was taking in every detail.
[Ack...Short]

Moscow gave a knowing smile before jumping off his stool and quickly letting his legs take him to the alley nearest to the ninja that threatened them. Smiling lightly, Moscow quickly formed familiar hand seals only common to his family. This was going to be funny as heck, he thought.
“Crystal Bomb Jutsu!” Moscow muttered, and within seconds, whatever grains of sand there was flew to his hands that quickly worked them into marbles. Clear and containing destructive chakra, the marbles were ready, and with a little luck, Kyoji would know to avoid these crystals.
See the fog form, Moscow growled and quickly followed the trail of chakra that the ninja had left behind. Kyoji had better hurry up; this wasn’t going to be a pretty fight. Lowering his chakra considerably, Moscow’s nerves were now sensitive to any other chakra near by. Using the flare of chakra from before as reference, he made his way through the streets, silently following the trail.
He found the ninja. Glaring blood red eyes focused on the carelessly walking form in front of him, “You’re an idiot.” Moscow spat, “Don’t you realize that people will be suspicious of you when you lower your chakra so much?” Taking out four marbles from one of his pockets, Moscow expertly juggled them in his left hand alone.
“Some ninja you are.” Moscow reprimanded, this man was very careless, acting as if he was the strongest here. Moscow’s eyes narrowed, though he wasn’t much of a ninja now, he would assure this man that there would be a surpassed ninja to his power.
Without warning, Moscow cocked his arm back and hurled the four marbles at his opponent, three of them violently popped and sparked white-blue chakra by the front of his face, the last was heading for its target, a dead on hit to the forehead.

The two shuriken flew towards the boy, then struck him solidly in the chest. BAMF! In a poof of smoke, Jeiden disappeared and one of the straw dummies from before took his place.
The boy silently dashed towards Azuri's back from a new position, his fists beginning to glow with red chakra. Feeling his adrenaline spike in anticipation for the strike. He drew back a glowing fist, and sent it flying at Azuri's back.
[Bwaha, I feel sorry for you. I have Aol, but then theres those wretched Parental controls and time limit. DAWMN YOU! O.O Damn, how's Azuri suppose to avoid that?!]
Azuri blinked at the sudden straw dummy that took the shiruken's hit.
/Crap! Where'd he go?/ Azuri looked briefly at Kero who was chittering like mad. Azuri's mismatched eyes widened as she turned around, stepping back slightly.
"Neh!" She gasped as the punch nailed her straight in the stomach instead of her back. With the wind knocked out of her, she refused to allow herself to crumple down and jumped back a few paces from Jeiden, landing beside Kero, clutching her stomach while one knee rested on the ground. She coughed a few times, tasting her blood a bit.
/Damn..That hurt....I wonder if that was even a partial amount of Jeiden-kun's real ability...I'm too worried to find out./ Azuri thought as she wipped away the blood from her lip, and spitting out onto the ground. Kero growled darkly at Jeiden.
"Heh, You got me there Jeiden-kun." Azuri muttered as she stood up as her eye returned to it's normal golden state. The hawk above called before flying off into Konohgakure. Azuri spat a couple more times to get the nasty taste of blood out of her mouth before dropping her katana to the edge of the ring.
"It's getting in the way." She explained before drawing out a kunai. She narrowed her eyes at Jeiden, shifting into a ready position with feet shoulder-length apart, and on the bawls of her feet ready to move. Kero stepped sideways a few times before charging at Jeiden. His small sleek brown figure was surely speedy as he scampered towards Jeiden's feet.
Meanwhile, Azuri darted to the left of Jeiden, holding her Kunai with her right hand as she pulled out two tags from her light brown pouch on the back of her waist; Exploding tag, and Light tag bomb thing[xD]. Carefully she crouched close to the ground, placing one tag on the left of Jeiden while flipping over Jeiden's head, onto his right, placing the other before charging at Jeiden. Four minutes before those bombs would start.

[ stare Ishi's face is always the target...]
(Fuyu)
He had been walking when he noticed that someone had started following him. He had walked on a bit more before he stopped and turned to look at who had followed him. "If it isn't the squirt. They send someone as young as you after me?"
He sighed as he started doing seals and pressed his hands to the ground quickly. When he was standing up straight again, his big bladed weapon was in his hands. "Don't underestimate those that you don't know. I am not as idiotic as you think." Hm. He was able to follow me even after I lowered my chakra level. Pretty good.
When the four marbles were thrown at him, he instantly brought the blade of the weapon up in front of his face. His mask would reduce most of what would come towards him and the blade would help as well. As he did that, he moved to his left and lowered the weapon. The bladed part of the weapon was once again on the ground while the pole part was resting against one shoulder. A smirk was once again on his face.
He started doing hand seals again. "Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu(Sly Fellow Mind Skill)." If the technique worked right, the kid would be walking around in circles unaware of his surroundings. It would give Ishi the perfect oppourtunity to attack.

Kaji was finally snapped out of the trance of having seen someone who could easily pass as him...By the sound of nearly two dozen explosions across the expanse of Konoha. "What!?...Wait...Rain village. He must have used oil clones. Add in the fire from my Kaen Genkotsu...Yeah. Tsunade is not going to be happy."
"Hey! You just gonna stand there?" Kyoji had already noticed the resemblance, and most importantly, the onyx embedded within this Ninja's armor. He felt the immense Chakra which this guy held...Maybe...Yeah...It's him.
"I'm coming." Kaji bounded effortlessly from the roof of the building and landed beside Kyoji on one foot, his eyes glancing over him once more, still wondering...Exactly who this guy was. There was no real time to take into account he'd been hiding his presence, that kid was obviously his friend and he wanted to help.
"Good. Let get goin' before Moscow gets in over his head." Before Kyoji finished speaking he'd had already begun making hand seals. Lifting his hands into the air he began to summon wind to pull the mist towards, and finally past him. "Good enough?"
"I suppose so." Kaji smirked and bit down on his thumb till it bled, getting an odd look from Kyoji but continuing. "Kuchiyose!" At that he slammed his hand down on the ground below them and a large seal appeared, near instantly a puff of smoke revealed several large grey and white wolves. "...Alright guys, ready to hunt some more?"
((Meh...It sucked o.o; ))
