Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kira followed Hiniko out of the forest and into the Village hidden in the leaves. It was up to Hiniko to lead here. He didn't know where the shop was, so he followed Hiniko.

"Shouldn't be too far now," Vincent said to his teammates.

Vincent knew the forest well enough to know his way around by the roads that had crisscrossed the landscape of the country of fire. He started to wonder that if there were to be others that were going for the same clue that they were after. It was then a very real dread came over Vincent. What if it was Hiniko that was going after the same clue as him? He didn't want to think about fighting her. Then an equally, if not greater, dread came over him if he would have to face Zin for the artifact. There would be no more dangerous opponent from his team. But he had to keep his resolve and move forward.

though he had traveled the path before with Riko, it was clear that with Vincent leading, the trip was much smoother. Vincent had been skillfully leading them through the winding forests, all of them rushing through the treetops. Shinji's adrenaline pumped with each leap, his excitement surging as he barely even felt the baseline pain of his chakra. He was of course, still at full chakra levels, so such a thing was natural, but only when his blood pumped like this with excitement at what was next did he ever really feel free.

Feeling the rush of air through his hair as it wiped across his face, Shinji's smile grew wider and wider as his pace quickened, almost overtaking Vincent several times as he forced himself to slow down and allow him to lead. As they rushed through the forest, Shinji prepared himself for whatever might come, but the thought of a good fight only made his blood pump faster as they began to near the gates. "Just a little further... we've got this!" Yamatano, of course kept his stride easily, following the other two in complete silence as they all could see the gates within view.

"Talk is cheap, Let's Do This!"

As Blade's body soared through the forest, jumping from branch to branch, he realized that he had gotten ahead of everyone else. Slowing down his pace, Blade waited for the others to catch up to him as a single insect soared to the skies in order to scout ahead. He was going back to the rock village...and he needed to be careful. He probably has a bounty on his head right about now for what he pulled there.

Zin appeared a few moments after the other as he had some......business to attend to before moving on. Landing on a branch before him Zin pulled out the scroll and looked down at it before speaking,"Now we shall go to the Rock Village. I think....we should head to......Well...Does Iwa have a library."The boy questioned the two as he wasn't familiar about the place. Yes it was a rather universal place for villages but that didn't mean that all villages had it."I think there might be one there if we go."Zin said as Nagi looked about the place;keeping the child up-to-date about any ninja outside of his group. No need giving people their information or knowledge without getting a little present to really leave on.

Zin walked forward calmly,putting chakra to his feet until he was upside down over them as he reached down with the scroll and pointed,"Number Five. I believe it to be a library or....some jutsu archieve of some sort...What do you think?"He said letting David get a few more minutes of review of number five,which was pointed to by his finger,before very reluctantly showing it to the Abarume. To help that ingrate that made a mockery of his father's land.........If this exam wasn't for his future Zin would tempted to remove his unwanted guest from the group. Pointing to the one Zin wanted to go after as he showed the scroll to the Abarume,he walked himself back up straight once he gave him a few minutes to review the scroll and packed it back into his kimono pocket."So what do you guys think?"

Zin rubbed his little chin a little as he heard David out and sighed. Pulling out the scroll and looking back to it,it did indeed lean more towards the mist. Tapping his foot as he rolled it back up Zin jumped on a tree limb ahead of them as he wished to keep moving;it wouldn't be too good to stay in one spot for long."How about we head to the Earth Country then.....I believe one may just in fact be in a place that has.....'Many Limbs yet no legs.' Isn't there a historical tree in around Iwa?"Zin questioned the two as Nagi continued to keep him updated on any unwelcomed guests in which Zin would quickly go silent if any were caught in his serpents scent.
