A cool, forested nation covered with cliffs and lakes. Rivers lead into waterfalls all across the country. A few mountains dot the western border. Hidden pools of water and deep caves are found the most commonly in this nation.

Missing Nin... not by choice Waking up he sits up, shaking his head then rubbing his eyes. He looks around, seeing a waterfall behind him and a river in front. Looking down at his body he sees his clothing ripped but no wounds on his body. He stands up and walks over to the river "what happened?" the words come out but its not a familiar voice. he bends down and looks into the river and sees his reflection... this time its a person.. one he doesnt know It takes him a second to figure out that its him.. thats what he looks like. Cupping his hands he dips them into the river and takes a drink. Taking off his ripped clothing all the way to his underwear, he looks at his body and sees a word on his arm "Talo... i guess thats my name.." Talo touches ever part of himself.. nothing feels familiar.. its odd he knows what every part is but its like the first time seeing and touching.. the sand beneath his feet felt weird and good at the same time. the clothing on the ground lay in a pile not good for anything.. Looking around he knows that a tree is a tree and a rock is a rock but he doesnt know how.. he wonders what happened before he woke up.. but he couldn't even imagine the truth.. Talo starts to walk away from the waterfall but follows the river down stream..

Missing Nin... not by choice As he walks Talo looks into the forest he sees a hole in the ground.. about the size of ... 'whats a basket?...' he shakes his head and walks over to the hole. when he gets there he can see that some of the branches on most of the trees around the hole are broken. Getting down to all fours he looks at the hole.. "wow deep.." he puts his arm in and cant touch the bottom.. or any sides. Looking around he picks up a small stone and drops it.. it took only a few seconds before he heard it land.. then echo. "weird an echo.. what is this i found under my feet?" He decides to poke his head in and in a far corner he sees a light.. looks like he found a way into a cave and the light he sees is the entrance.. The earth around him gives way collapsing the roof, Talo falls face first, he quickly pushes off the falling rocks to turn his body the right way. As he lands on his feet some of the rock and clumps of dirt hit him.. he quickly jumps to one side as the larger and heavier debris falls to the ground.

Missing Nin... not by choice As the dust settles Talo looks around, the cave isn't large.. he would guess maybe the size of two rooms. Small cuts riddle his body.. maybe the torn clothing could of helped abit. Since the ceiling caved in the sun illuminates cave. In the far back corner a box sits.. well more like a trunk. Talo approaches it with some caution. It seems to be make of stone, he moves his fingers along the seem were the lid meets the base. He slides the lid to the left, and with a thud it lands on the ground. Looking inside he sees some clothing "well must be my lucky day..." he takes out a shirt and puts it on, then the pants and a jacket "fits.. perfect, nice" he looks in the box again and sees some more things. He takes out some shoes then looks down at the ones he has on "holes.. well hope they fit" he takes off his old shoes and puts on the new ones "wow they fit" a smile makes its way onto his face.. the first time today. Looking at his new shoes he can tell that the old ones look like they would fall apart any day. Standing up he walks around a bit.. the shoes are already broken in. He goes back to the box and takes out two sheathed knuckle daggers that appear to be on a belt.. "hmm this must go here.." he puts the belt around his waist and does it up. Talo looks down and sees that the knuckle daggers are on his hips "not a bad spot.. what else in in here.." He pulls out a pouch. and it feels like some things are in there, opening it up he sees two smoke bombs, and five shurikens "looks like it clips to the belt.." he closes it and attaches it to his belt. The pouch seems to rest over his right but cheek. Next he grabs a Kunia holder with 6 Kunai in it. After looking it over for sometime he figures out it clips to the left leg. After putting it on he pulls out what looks like two sleeves.. but after a closer look.. and a p***k he sees that the sleeve things hold four needles each. taking off the jacket he slides on both of the sleeve holder things then puts the jacket back on. Reaching on tot the box he grabs the last item.. a windmill shuriken. The blades seem to have some kind of cloth wrapped around it. Curious he un wraps it and finds out that its a head band with a weird metal plate on it. He folds it up and puts it in his pocket, it might come in handy... or he just wants to take everything from the box.. either way he has it. Talo looks at the weird weapon infront of him, he doesn't even know where it would fit.. guessing the back but how?. "Oh well" he slides it behind the kunai holder and it fits.. Talo walks around and it doesn't bother him at all. Well all suited up he walks over to the entrance to decide what to do next

"Bear..."
"Huh?"
"Bear!"
"What?"
"BEAR!"
------------------------------------------
The carriage was totaled, and the passengers were wounded somewhat. The bear that charged the carriage had been drove off instead of killed. It was one of Takeo's rules to not kill what needent be killed. He was healing the wounds of the others, five including the driver and himself. "Glad you were with us. Just so happen to be a medic when danger stirs." Takeo nodded. He was fueling his chakra into the wounds of the last victim, a woman about the age of twenty-five or so from his guess. "That should do it for everyone." He stood and helped the woman up. Now he had no leads to the village; it was hidden after all. Originally he was going to meet with a contact about a day's travel from his current location, but that was with the carriage. He was going to miss the deadline by maybe an hour or two now. Not only that, but the path was now skewed; unreadable. "Stay in a group, and travel west. You should meet up with a rest house or inn not too far from here." He pointed where bits and pieces of trail were still showing. "Wait, what about the animals?" Takeo shook his head. "You shouldn't meet anything now." With that, he went into the trees, disappearing from sight. He just remembered another errand he had to run.
About thirty minutes later, Takeo was mentally going over the information again. Cloud-nin, missing in action, male, and if strong enough to live out here as long as it has been, probably at minimum a young adult. It wasn't much, but it should have been enough to find the missing guy. This was a little more important that alliance treaties in his eyes. He popped the top of his gourd and took a swallow of sake, then replaced it on his person.
So this guy, this Talo, was missing, and was supposedly near the Waterfall village, but who's to say he hadn't already packed up and moved on? Who's to say he wasn't already dead either? He had to at least find the body. Takeo began to think logically. What would someone need to live out here? Food, water, and shelter. That was about it,. The water source would be easiest to find, and then he'd go from there.

Missing Nin... not by choice Walk out of the cave with his new clothes and gear, he wonders what way he should go. Looking around he sees a water fall that appears to be looking out over the forest.. but its far and high.. he wont make it before night fall thats for sure. He started to walk in the direction of the waterfall and at every clearing he looked up to see if he was going the right way. A few hours passed and his throat became dry and his mouth soon after. He tries to get his saliva gland to work.. but it didn't. He looks around and sees a small puddle, something about it put him off so he leaves it alone and looks for something else. About a kilometer later he finds a stream.. a small one no bigger than his foot but it looks clean.. and its moving, good signs. He cups his hands and takes a drink. Then his stomach growls.. well its a bit lower, he goes over by a tree and pulls his pants down..... TIME SKIP.. no need to read that.... After cleaning him self and putting his pants on he decides to find something to eat. maybe the small stream was a run off? Well Talo decided to find out anyway, he walks up stream then hears a.. growl.. rawr? well it seemed far off so no worries to him. After a few minutes he comes upon a large mouth of a cave... a deep and dark one at that "darn if i turn around all the walking will be for not.." Talo sighs and decides to walk in the darkness but not before he takes a leak on a near by tree, to make sure he follows the stream he walks in it.. every step a splash. every step an echo. the water gradually got deeper and deeper until it was knee high. 3 feet or so. Turning to look back he can no longer see any light. To go ahead he might have to swim.. can he swim?.. he thinks so 'why not!' he says in his head and moves on forward. "ugg im alittle bit tired.." he yawns as hes waist deep in water. Well the truth is he doesn't know how tired he is.. the ceiling of the cave is no longer just an open sky and now hes walking in one of the hidden pools of water found in this nation.. well that is until a fish nibbles on his finger "OOOUCH!!" his hands come out of the water "what hell was that!" he looks around now wide awake and sees hes in a pool of water and fish trying to nibble on him. He rushes to the side of the pool and then to the land then surrounds the pool.. only one stream coming from the part of the cave he has yet seen and going out the way he came. Sitting down he just realizes how beautiful the scene is. A setting sun fills the slightly clouded sky with soft pinks purples and a hint of orange, the pool sparkling as the last of the suns light reflexes off the surface. And lastly flowers and herbs surrounding the pool. Laying back he drifts off and falls asleep..... wet... and its close to dark....

Takeo was hovering over Talo by the time the boy would wake up. A small azure-blue ball glowed between Takeo's hands and Talo's body. He was fueling both energy and healing chakra into the body. "Man, ya look completely totaled. How long have ya been out here?" He'd already taken the liberty of drying Talo's clothes with a small fire jutsu, as to not take them off.
They were at a campsite Takeo made before he sensed a chakra source, which happened to be Talo. A tent was already set up, as well as a somewhat large campfire, which had a couple of fish from the nearby river stuck to sticks. They were roasting, and by this time would be at the perfect temperature for eating.
No, this wasn't his first time in the woods. No, that lovely scene took place when Takeo was five and was under Mion's wonderful supervision. This meant there was no supervision. For one entire year, he lived off the land any without any human contact. This had been the same session Takashi Akiyama, the current Mizukage, had to go through. So in a sense, Takeo was glad that he was semi-abused. Mion's training did pay off.
In the back of his mind, he kicked himself mentally. The missing cloud shinobi would have to wait, at least for tonight. It was dark, and not even his eyes would be able to guide him through this forest and back to the campsite. It was only luck that he set it up here and this boy, whom he did not know to be actually Talo, was within his eyes' range of sight.

Missing Nin... not by choice Talo would gain conscious for just seconds before blacking out. His eyes would open but the pictures wouldn't register. This Man had taken Talo in the direction he was going before he passed out. Waking up Talo saw a man.. it took him a few seconds for it to register that there is a man hovering over him. His Fatigue is gone.. his body doesn't hurt..how? Looking down he sees a hand.. and some thing... "what the..." Talo quickly moves back and is now in a seated position with his legs close to his body "h..how long... ah..." Looking around quickly he sees that hes in a type of shelter "i dont really know... maybe a few days.." looking at the man hes clearly a threat but it seems he doesn't want to harm Talo.. "whe..where did you find me?" he said.. ((i work late on Tuesdays and Thursdays so there is a chance i wont post on those days))

Takeo scratched the back of his head. "There's a river about thirty minutes worth of walkin' from here. Caught a wiff of something. It turned out to be you. Found a cave near where you were floatin'. Man, you got a big pair to survive how you have been." Yes, he examined the cave a little, though not enough to get a good read of what went on inside. It was primitive, but great to be in in a bind.
He thought about his little trek suddenly, not knowing why until it hit him. "What's your name, by the way?" There was a one in five billion, no, million chance that this kid was the Talo Mizumi wanted to see by quick math account, but it wasn't zero. Besides, a question like that is worth another kiss from her.

Missing Nin... not by choice Talo thought for a moment before answering the man, he couldn't remember anything of his past.. maybe he did something bad.. or just has some wrong people looking for him. "My name is Talo.. or so i think.." he figures not telling the man would cause more problem... and Since Talo has some weapons.. just encase the man tries and does something "whats your name..."

Takeo actually laughed. One in a million... and he beat the odds. "Takeo, Takeo Matsuda. I'm a medical nin from Kiri. See, I actually went to Kumo to arrange a meeting between her and my kage, Takashi Akiyama. She asked if I could look for you, and here ya are, all by yourself." He noticed Talo tense up a little, as if waiting for Takeo to make a move. "Don't worry, I'm not your enemy here. I'm here to help you. She sent me to find you so we can go back to Kumo. I'll help ya out however I can."
He sat back on his rear. It took thirty minutes for Talo to regain conciousness after he was found floating on the river's surface. Takeo hadn't had to use that kind of chakra amount for a while. He was now obviously out of shape when it came to chakra supply, compared to where he once was. Once he got back to Kiri, he'd have to set up a daily routine to get back into the swing of things. He didn't want to, though, because it would take forever.

~Cloud~ Missing Nin... not by choice Talo relaxes a bit "Takeo... this might sound odd since you seem to know something about me that i do not... but who is Takashi.. and what is Kumo.. and Kiri?" These words mean nothing to him but he feels like he has to know.. maybe Takeo can help him.. He puts his hand in his stomach as his growls "erm.. got any food."

Takeo's head tilted. "Wha... yea. Take what ya like. The fish should be ready." He had to think for a moment. This wasn't good... maybe. He didn't know why it didn't seem good, it just didn't. Talo spoke truthfully; his heartbeat didn't speed up as he stated what he said. If he truly didn't know, then.... "We'll stay here and rest for the night. We'll set out tomarrow morning for Kumo. I'll explain everything then; should be a great time spender." He stood and grabbed a stick with fish on it, leaving three. If he really did stay out here for as long as he looked, Talo might not have eaten in a while. Takeo had to meditate; he wasn't expecting this.

~Cloud~ Missing Nin... not by choice Standing up Talo walks over to the fire and sits down by it.. the warmth surrounds him like a hot blanket, he grabs a fish and starts eating it. He tries to remember what happened before he woke up in the forest alone.. but every time he tries his head starts to hurt. He picks up another fish and picks at it wondering what was in that guys hand.. some ball.. he slowly falls asleep....

Takeo woke up early, stretching. He felt something coming from the direction of Kiri, the village hidden in the mist. "That's not good." He hurried from the stump he used to meditate on the previous night and briskly walked back to the camp sight. He crouched briefly to tap Talo on the head. "Wakey wakey." He walked to the now dead campfire and pulled out the sticks that once held fish. He then walked to the tent and let it collapse, weather or not Talo was out of it by now. "There's a carriage trail that runs by here. With luck, we'll catch one that's not full. It should cut our travel time by three fourths. Along the way, I'll explain everything you seem to have forgotten..." He accepted the fact that someone could loose their memory from when they were a young child to the present day. But to have such a memory lost would be either by the effects of a jutsu or a major blow to the head. Either way, he would need to get checked up in a village; Takeo had the skills, but not the materials needed for proper tests. All he could do out here was diagnose and observe, making mental notes about Talo to refer back to later on.
