Snippet #945601

Alright, genin from around the ninja world, the time you've been waiting for has arrived! Will each team please make a finacl check of your belongings, the voice over the loud speakers said, then paused to give them all the chance to do so. Now, open the gates! And with that the papers seals which had been keeping the gates closed all burnt up and all fifty or so gates swung open, inwards, inviting everyone insdie. There was a sudden surge of chakra from all around as teams rushed inside.

Jin, Jari, and Megumi all nodded to one another, then headed inside. Knowing that they would more than likely spend a few days in this place they took their time and strolled leasurely towards the forest, across the soft grass.

"This is gonna be great!" Jari said, shaking his fists as they reached the thick woods. "I can't wait to figure out who has an Earth scroll so we can beat the snot out of them and take it!"

"Why are you always so violent Jari?" Megumi asks, shaking her head as she looks around. "For all we know, it might be possible to just sneak up on somone while they sleep and take the scroll, right Jin? Jin?"

Jin wasn't paying attention to the conversation between his friends. Instead he had his eyes focused on the treetops. For a second he thought he say a man in red standing on the very tips of one of the trees, glaring down at him, but the there was a gust of wind and suddenly the figure was gone. after that he shook his head and looked back at his teammates.

"What was that?" Jari asked, spooked. "I've seen you stare off into nothing before, but that was something else. Should we be worried about something?" And as if he knew what was going to bed said, Shinshi, the young bear, let out a soft roar and moved closer to his master.

"Someone is watching us...I suggest we hurry along after all. I'd like to avoid whoever that man was..." Jin said solomnly.

"Who first Mitsuru?" Jo asked, looking over at his leader. "We got the Heaven scroll, right?"

"It seems there is a group from Amegakure here. I think the boss would be interested in them, so lets check them out." Mitsuru says with a smirk, rolling up his left sleeve to reveal a summoning tattoo. "Summoning Technique: Ten Scorpions!" He calls out, after biting his thumb and running his blood across the tattoo.

Before him on the ground appears ten large, purple and black scorpions. They look up at their master, claws snapping, tails twitching. They are roughly the size of melon, and deadly poisonous. Jo and Itcho step back, knowing full well just how dangerous those guys can be.

"Boys, I want you to scout out the place, find me anyone who might be interesting to fight, who possesses an Earth scroll, and be sure the find those Amegakure brats, okay?" Mitsuru says with a laugh as the scorpions all nod and take off, scattering.

Mitsuru and his team are located in the Summer Area, the perfect place for a team like themselves. When the time comes, if they have to, they will split up and seek out what they need alone.
