Snippet #1308266

After leaping through a few trees Eiga was back on the ground, walking at a normal pace and taking his time as he made his way towards the Land of Water, and the Hidden Mist Village within. It was understood that he would be meeting with Hitoare somewhere in between, but no clear meeting spot had been given. Something told him it would be sooner than later though.

Just then, as he was reaching into his cloak to take out a snack he'd been saving for his journey to Mist, he heard something above him, in the trees. Pausing mid-step he looked up and around, then noticed Daiki closing in on him, calling his name. Before he could respond, however, the area around him was shrounded in mist that was quickly growing thicker and thicker. While it was true that there was more than one shinobi in the Akatsuki with this technique under their forehead protector, he was sure of who it would turn out to be, and the sudden BOO from behind confirmed it.

"Good to see you again Hitoare, I thought you might try something like this." Eiga says, more calmly than the last time they had met, Too bad I already worked off my extra emergy. But, you're right, we should get going. Sorry Daiki, got a mission to get going on, see ya later."

And with that the partners began walking to the mist as it lifted, headed east towards Kirigakure.

After a few hours, Kazan finally found himself in his bed. His intended plan was to simply train for a little bit, alone in the woods, but that had turned into a punishment for him, something he had gotten somewhat useful. The Tsuchikage believed that with his kind of power he should do everything in his ability to control himself, and the Yonbi. But that was proving to be harder than he thought. Plus, on top of all that, if he failed a mission, or messed up his training, he was punished with something that would make him work much harder.

But now, he could simply sleep, and relax. Even if he did have another nightmare about the past, when the Four-Tailed Monkey caused chaos all over the Land of Earth, he was too tired to care right now.
