Snippet #957339

The place was a dense and snowy boreal forest. Indeed it was a trully beautiful place. A peaceful whiteness covered the whole place. A whiteness only tainted by a few frozen drops of blood that eventually slipped from one of the Suna genins. That genin had a wooden splint at his just broken arm and several bandages at his wounded legs. He was running, but his team partner was leaning him with his right arm around his chest. He did not actually needed it, as he could still walk and run, it just a small act of friendship from his buddy. The last member of the team was a kunoichi, three yards behind them. She was the only one alert, watching every moment her surroundings, checking if they were not being followed. But there was no living soul there. No chakras in the air, no suspicious smells, nothing but the white forest.

She closed her eyes for a single moment, a bit relieved as she convinced herself that no one was following them. She turned her head to the left feeling the light breeze and opened her eyes again. Two dreadful brown eyes were staring deep into her eyes. He was at her left and only six feet of distance separated them. The girl didnt noticed that genin approaching. She tried to act or maybe to screm, but it was too late.

She closed her eyes and was now falling at the ground, as the genjutsu targeted her. With a spinning leap to his right, Hiato held her with his left arm and vanished into the woods. His move was not fast at all, but it was precise and above all, silent.

Only after a whole minute the other two realized, with surprize, that the kunoichi vanished. The unwounded genin drew a kunai and millimetrically scaned his surroundings, completely aware. He did not detected any treat but he was, somehow, certain that the enemy was nearby. "I know you are there! Show yourself so that I can kill you" he shouted to the air. The genin became even more nervous as no one answered.

Now he just got pissed. He started performing some handsigns and, without saying a word he cast his jutsu. And what a powerful jutsu that was. Violent gusts of wind came from the north, ripping trees from the ground and cleansing all snow from the place. The spot where it was a snowbank revealed now a genin kid whose smile described his 'Oops, you found me' thoughts. "There you are little brat".

Hiato was in trouble now.
