He let out some chakra as he ran, forming a thin cloud of moisture around him - enough to keep sunburns and the worst of the heat at bay, anyway. Thankfully the tiny sparks that ran through it were small, hard to see, though they did glow - still, he supposed, he wouldn't need the cloud at night if that oasis turned out to be real. Though others might be headed for the same spot - if they beat him there...
He began to pick up the pace - though he kept it on a leash, last thing he needed was to kick up a dust cloud. As he approached the oasis, he wondered if anyone had beat him there, even with his speed. If they were close enough...nah, even at a full sprint it would be hard to make it there before him, even with a head start. Besides, he thought with a grin, company would certainly make things interesting - especially if they had the right scroll handy.

Umiko removed her gloves and closed her eyes, seeking concentration. Than both started different chains of handsigns. Mijaro shouted "Fire Release: Static Great Fireball" and expelled from the mouth a Huge, static ball of massive fire. Instanly Umiko shouted: "Nomuro's Ultimate Hyperspeed". Suddently she reappeared right above her foes, holding the fireball as if it were a Rasengan. With a handsign and a grin, Mijaro blasted the fireball, destroying everything in a 6 yards base-radius cone below his sister.
Umiko landed startled as she realized that the foes were only bushins. She raised her head to visualize any possible counter-attack, but it came from the soil: two hands came from the earth and grabbed her ankles, sinking her more than nine inches in the compact ground. Three laughting voices echoed in the woods. The first one came from a masked man wearing an oversized dirty coat who raised from the ground between Mijaro and Umiko. The second one came from an orange haired boy at the top of a near tree. The last voice belonged to a tall gennin located at another tree, who keept his eyes closed and shouted "Rock-Paper-Metal". Various scrolls placed at many different trees fired a volley of kunais, stones, metal wires and explosive tags towards Umiko. She screamed in fear and closed her eyes, but something extraordinary happend. Each one of the thousands of projectiles had his trajectory millimetrically calculated in a way that the kunais and stones were binded with the metal wires' extremeties. The wires than tied Umiko completely without hurting her and the explosive notes fell softly over the wires, where they attached themselves.
The tall gennin than looked to Mijaro and said, coldly "Choose: Her life or your scroll".
Mijaro had the Heaven scroll at his hip pouch.

Hiato was jumping from branch to branch in the forest, folowing the direction the Nomuro brothers took. He decided to release one of the Three Bells' seeds that he implanted at Mijaro. The seeds were inert, they would not trigger the genjutsu, but Hiato would be able to detect their location. "Well, they are nearer than I expected, if they stop I can reach them within a minute or two" he thought, a bit more relieved, and than focused his attention in the direction his partners were. Than he heard the sound of an explosion and saw some smoke caused by Mijaro's fireball. His pupils dilated as a wave of worries bashed in his heart. Hiato accelerated his pace.
