Arashi would nod to acknowledge Miyo's own departure, leaving her to her own devices. In truth, she wished that she could just take the chance and simply smell the guy out so that they could just get this over with. She didn't like the idea of leaving this guy out here for so long while they played hide and seek. Still, if there was a chance that they had already missed him using this chemical already in his rush to get rich, he could have been infected himself and this the area would be highly dangerous. Really hope Miyo is careful too...Fighting her last time...she was clearly holding back...can't imagine trying to fight her this time if she mistakes me for an enemy... Not a pleasant thought, but hopefully it didn't come to that... As the teen remained stationary in her position, her sand would continue to feel out the area much like the roots of a tree. So far, she had not found anything outside of buried treasures that lingered within the depths of the fallen ruins and people that were scattered about and moving through their day to day. Hopefully Miyo would have better luck as so far she wasn't having any. ------- Moment Music With Arashi acting on a more wide search, Miyo's own efforts. While it was hindered by the more physical aspects of having to manually use sight. Perhaps it would be enough to find an individual that was clearly out of place within the surroundings of the outskirts. There were few traders that would linger in such an area for long, especially with the rumors of it being housing to some of the less than savory characters of the village. A man that was trying to build up upon his riches might stand out with something like outwear or simply having something that was out of place. Such as a wheel barrel covered in thick cloth, a brimmed hat and boots that appeared more for show than for travel. Eyes shifting from side to side, the older male would seem to try and keep to the traffic of the people, doing his best to blend in. Though this ruse was also slowing him down, allowing for Miyo to perhaps notice these differences as well. ---------------- Thankfully, there were some foreign traces left upon him that made him stand in the sand upon the ground, prompting a toothy grin to cross Arashi's face as she opened her eyes.

Hex: c24e4e Summary: A kindly granny helps Miyo get in the right direction to find their suspect, but is he the one or is he merely an unfortunate individual that so happened to look suspicious at the wrong time?! ♥ Full Body Pic ♥

Ōnakayama Miyo The Mercurial Maiden of Sunagakure Miyo’s luck was not great. She was forced to scour the place on foot, keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. Fortunately, Miyo’s analytical perception was unmatched, and finding those anomalies was her specialty, but that also meant she had to come across them, first. That was almost as much luck as anything else, and Miyo never considered herself the luckiest girl around, so she was not optimistic about finding the suspect before Arashi did. However, fortune had it that Miyo crossed paths with an older woman who had been seated in a rickety chair under an awning outside her hovel for quite some time, who had seen someone suspicious. She had not seen them around before, and she swore up and down she knew the entire neighborhood, even most of the traveling tradesmen who occasionally came through as they rarely varied. She pointed Miyo down the correct path, and off she went! It did not take long for Miyo to spot the wheelbarrow and the conspicuously inconspicuous man. Was it him? She could not say for sure, but he was as good a suspect as any, and so as Arashi notices him, Miyo begins approaching from down the street. Her mercury was prepared, and if this fool thought he’d be some king with his fancy gold, he’d learn a few things about which metal was truly in charge. "Sir, I don’t suppose you’d have a quick moment, would you?” Miyo shouts out from down the path. She even raises an arm to wave at him to get his attention. If he made a break for it, then she knew she found the right one.

While Arashi may have believed that she had found the man they were looking for, there was still an off-chance that she could be wrong. With her inability to smell him out, she was relying much on the evidence in which they were area of. Of course, with her more than cocky persona, she didn't think she made a mistake. The pieces were there. The residue, components similar to what they had found within the young Oonakayama's room. It would only make sense that there were few people that were attempt to make gold from scratch, as it was hard to get those kind of materials within the market place. Sure, it was possible. But then how much more successful would the village be if everyone was making gold bricks? Hell, they might be living in a cultural paradise if that were the case... Though monitoring the situation for the moment, Arashi would also pick up trace amounts of mercury. Meaning that Miyo wasn't too far from his position either. As it appeared that she had stopped in her tracks, it was likely that she had picked him out as well. Or at the very least, had begun to engage. "No screams yet...maybe thats a good sign?" ------------------------ The man was clearly rattled by something, having begun his own exit to get into the ruins. He was so close. Moving through the outskirts was tricky, but he could blend in with the crowd of the unfortunate. So long as he got to where he needed to go. Yet as a voice seemed to be calling out in his direction, he made the mistake of stopping to look. As he saw a bleach blonde female not far off, her hand waving in his direction, he'd seem to get spooked as he began to shuffle even faster. Now to the point that he was starting to get pushy. As people were begin moved out of the way, doing their best to avoid his cart, his path was soon blocked as a sudden wall would rise up from the sand. This preventative was clearly that of Arashi, but it only detoured him as he began to skirt his way deeper into the alleys. He had to get distance, he had to flee. With him having given himself away, the man would quickly pick up the device, seeming to have it hover at his back as his hands were apparently glowing from some vice that grabbed as his knuckles. Bits of dust were gathered beneath the machine to carry it, but it was starting to blacken the more exposed it was to the magnetic pull straining beneath it. But so long as he got away, that was all that mattered. Seeming to appear beside Miyo as she would likely begin chase, Arashi's dust like form would be released to reveal the teen as she began to sprint next to her.

Ōnakayama Miyo The Mercurial Maiden of Sunagakure So… he was the one. Luck, coincidence, providence, whatever it might have been, their search for the perpetrator of the various crimes had been found without too much trouble. The problem would be apprehending him without causing any further issues. Considering he was carrying a potentially dangerous device, one that could devastate the entire region if not properly care for, they had to be cautious about their approach. As he began to flee the scene, Miyo let out a sigh. There was not really much of a chance that he would escape at this point, but he could try. After Arashi’s wall cornered him and forced him into alley, Miyo began her pursuit, and Arashi was not far behind her. Soon, the two were traveling together, running down the target like a pack of hunting dogs. "He’s fast for now…” Miyo smirked as her mercury began to rise around her, and then surged forward. However, instead of being a projectile that would strike the fleeing man, the mercury disappeared into thin air. "It’ll only be a little while before he won’t be able to run anymore.” Their target would feel like something was off as the mercury gas caught up to him. With every breath he’d take, he’d inhale some, and the more he’d breathe in, the more it would begin to corrupt his body causing fatigue, muscle failure, and more. It’d not kill him, not unless Miyo let it, but unless he was able to figure out what was going on and avoid it, he’d run out of time well before the two girls ran out of stamina.

Miyo seemed confident that the two of them would have no trouble in catching up with the man, despite his head start. But that confidence was also aided by a clear sense of control. Watching as traces of mercury began to rise up from her frame, it seemed to instantly vanishing just as quickly. Though to where was anyone's guess. That truth would only be revealed as their suspect and likely guilty target began to slow. It was as if the man was starting to choke, his body seeming to sway in his movement. Before long, his pace was starting to slow down to the point that he had to stop. His body was leaning against the wall, allowing for the two to get to him, though Arashi was more surprised by just how this happened. "Holy shit....how did you..." As much as the girl wanted to figure out just what Miyo had done, the fact remained that it had been done and successful. With them now having the trader dead to rights, Arashi would notice how he was hovering the object within the air, only for it to suddenly fall down to the ground. Residue of black sand seemed to be scattered about, prompting the short haired Jin to raise her brow. "Wait...I've seen this before..." Seeming to have drawn her attention to the ground, the man would start to cough as he held his hand close to his face. "Damn it...argh...is this how you treat people in Sunagakure? I didn't do anything.." "That remains to be seen...Sugetsu...Conqueror of the Desert" Rising back up, Arashi would smirk as she then leaned back upon her hip with her arms crossed over her chest. In looking over to Miyo, the teen would click her tongue as she shook her head. "I met him years ago when he was supposedly a traveling performer...he's a shady as they come...and just as stupid considering last time we talked...we had a disagreement..." "You ruined my life...you gave away my act and then scared my friends so badly that they didn't want anything to do with me...Thanks to you and your blue haired friend!"

Ōnakayama Miyo The Mercurial Maiden of Sunagakure As the suspect comes to a halt, Miyo recalls her mercury from the vicinity, applying some extra chakra to forcibly return it to the liquid state it tends to be in and then puts it back where it belonged. As long as the man did not breathe in any more, he would recover shortly. She had never used her mercury on Arashi in any of their matches before, at least not to any noteworthy extent, and especially not to its full capacity and thus she was only momentarily surprised by Arashi’s inquiry. "Hmm… Perhaps I’ll tell you later.” Miyo replied in a teasing tone. Miyo glances over at Arashi, then back to their suspect. They had some questioning to do. So, she approached the stranger and looked him over for a moment while he coughed – not that it would do him any good. While it might feel like that was what his body wanted, it didn’t really know how to deal with the poison he had been inhaling for the last few minutes so it was just improvising. "Treat you? Are you accusing us?” Miyo feigned surprise and insult. "You shouldn’t blame others for being too out of shape to escape your pursuers. You should really get that looked at. You might have asthma or something.” Before much else happens, he and Arashi start a brief exchange. "So… you know this guy, then? Is he harmless or do we need to worry about him?” Miyo’s inquiry is timed with her hunkering down next to the strange device to examine it. She doesn’t touch it, obviously, just looks at it for now.

Though Miyo wasn't willing to give up just how she had managed to do this, halting a man without so much as touching him, Arashi had a feeling it had to do with the disappearing Mercury in which she had now reclaimed. Of course, dangerous as it was, she imagined that it was just as fatal if it had been inhaled as the suspecting poison that would be released from the machine had they not come here sooner. It was a fair trade, Sugetsu got a taste of just what he was likely about to let loose upon others. While Miyo denied having done anything to the man, his expression remained that of upset, holding one hand close to his chest as if trying to regain some sense of life, prompting Arashi to swiftly summon a single spear of sand, allowing it to hover close to his head at the mention of if he was dangerous. "Not once I get his gear. Their capable of controlling sand, similar to that of an Aiel...hand over the gloves..." Sugetsu had used something similar in the past. Electro-magnetism that enabled him to control sand through it's magnetic properties. It had been limited in range, but had been hell to deal with back when she was a kid. Of course, years had a way of changing a lot of things, so she had no intention of giving him the chance. With him handing them over in reluctance, the teen would then place them within the pockets of her jacket, holding a toothy grin as she shook her head. "Still pretending huh?" "Just tell me what you two want?" Gesturing toward the device that laid on the ground, Arashi would frown as she leaned against the wall. "You first...ya run from the authorities and are carrying a device that makes gold...one that actually belongs to a member of the Oonakayama clan. Not to mention assault and fleeing a scene. Times really that hard for ya?" Sugetsu would sneer as he seemed to try and regain some composure. He'd adjust his position upon the ground, his eyes narrowed as he appeared to let his features change to reveal that of an adult male. While not as youthful as he had been in the past, the sands of time had indeed begun to catch up to him. He wasn't a teenage anymore. Tan complexion topped with that of silver braided hair that had been his signature when on the stage. "It was the boy who came to me for aid in making that thing...I simply had the extra know-how to complete it. We had a mutual agreement..." "Doesn't seem like that when ya runnin off with it and leaving him tied up in an alley Sugetsu..." Arashi wasn't giving him any slack here, though it was clear that the man was desperate as he lowered his eyes. "My wealth is dwelling to the last ryo...this machine was my ticket out of possible poverty. Do you know what thats like?...Princess?..." Narrowing her eyes, Arashi would scoff as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Doesn't change what you did...what about the murder? The man in the wagon...there were mineral traces all over it...how much ya wanna bet I can't link it back to ya?" Sugetsu appeared genuinely confused by this, and so he looked to Miyo with a calm expression. "I don't know anything about that! I didn't kill anyone! I'm a thief yes! But not a murderer! Don't let he jam me up like this! She'll do anything to see me hanged! Or worse! You have no idea what kind of person she is!"

Ōnakayama Miyo The Mercurial Maiden of Sunagakure "Gear?” Miyo inquired as she looked at the item dropped by the perpetrator. Making something like that seems almost impossible to me – so, that is very impressive work.” Miyo was not quite sure what to make of this man. He did not seem like the type to desire mass death or destruction, nor did he seem to possess the ability, much less courage, to stand up against any opposition to the matter. As easy as it would be to just pin the entire thing on him and move along, some things just did not add up for Miyo. Not that it could not be possible; she just was not truly ready to take things as they appeared right now. "Her?” Miyo points over at Arashi? "If you are talking about that cute bundle of daddy issues there that is my sister, and she may be a bit rough around the edges and smell like a pack of dogs most days, but she is a good person.” After letting out a slight sigh through her nose, Miyo moves over towards Arashi and tips her head slightly. "While he may be the thief, it is very possible there is someone else out there that knew about this device and the gold formula, which could mean someone else killed the driver.”

While Sugetsu may have been trying to save his own skin by throwing her under a bus, Miyo did come to her aid and support her in her usual way. It prompted a small smile to cross her lips, but then it faded as she realized the same thing as she did. As much as it would be easy to state that Sugetsu was their man, there was something off in how all this fell into place. If were the case, then there was indeed one other person that needed to be found. The driver's killer was still out there...but they had no real leads as to just whom that could be. Yet, as Arashi would cup her hand beneath her face, she'd let her eyes grow wide as she looked over at her older sister. "We're two for two and if Sugu here isn't the murderer, then who was?" Arashi was trying to go over the information in her head, but nothing seemed to add up to a conclusive answer. Maybe in the end, there was none. Perhaps it had simply been an accident? Maybe the man had lost control and crashed through the wall. The trace of minerals on the wagon, while suggesting to be a member of the Oonakayama clan, had not come up with anything really aside for... Fudo's combination with Jiton could be connected to what happened with the wagon. It would explain why he was late to his position and why there was a struggle within his room. Though there was only one way to know that one for sure. "So ya didn't kill anyone, but went and assaulted a kid?" "If he would have just let me take the machine, he wouldn't have gotten hurt. I got into the complex and had managed to find his room. But then he showed up sooner than I expected. We fought, argued over what we could do with the device and I knocked him out..."

Ōnakayama Miyo The Mercurial Maiden of Sunagakure Miyo considered for a few moments. She’s supposed to be the queen of analysis, but even she was a tad puzzled. Sugetsu was definitely one of the guilty parties involved in this whole fiasco, but as Arashi said, something wasn’t adding up. It would appear that he was not the only culprit. They had to be on the lookout for someone else – or someone they had already come across. "Sugetsu likely is not the murderer, and it is not likely an accident, either. Too much of a coincidence, and a beast of burden doesn’t just slam its way through a wall, either.” Miyo let out a slight noise of contemplation. "If Fudo was tied up, and Sugetsu didn’t do it, then we have either a third party, or Fudo is more guilty than he let on.” She glances over at Sugetsu with a slight look of disgust. "And I imagine if Sugetsu here was as desperate to get rich as he says he is, then Fudo is not likely working under any better morals than this fool.” "Not to mention, if Sugetsu was the murderer, he likely would have put up more of a fight instead of running right away. At least, if you want my opinion.” Miyo moves her hands behind her, like she was going to put them into back pockets, but only realized that she didn't have any, and to avoid being awkward, just rested her hands there instead - not that it was any better. "I suggest we pay Fudo another visit."

Arashi would nod in agreement, her body starting to waver as she allowed herself to split apart for a moment as a clone of herself would appear. Within moment, the double would walk out into the street, seeming to disappear as the real sand user would cup her hand beneath her face. "Fudo was found outside, tied up, and by Sugetsu story, he left him knocked out in his room. Enough time for him to get this far. Still, who would move him and go to the trouble of tying him up. Not to mention that clearly it's unlikely that the guy would do it to himself..." In saying this, the teen would then look at the machine yet again, taking it into account as at least they had it in their possession. That was one threat dealt with, but now they had a murderer to catch. There had to be something that they were missing...if it was a third party then they couldn't have been too far. Though it also could mean that they were desperate...perhaps attempting to try and set up a means in which to get rid of all ties... That left one other person...and in truth...she was wondering why the hell she hadn't thought of it... Still, they couldn't very well go with her internal theory until they had all the facts...and if she was wrong...then this would get a lot worse... "Fudo should be back at the compound by now...we better get over there..." "So does that mean I'm free to go?" Arashi would hear this, looking over toward the former perform as she raised her brow? "Seriously?" "I clearly didn't kill anyone...both of you are certain of that...so there is no reason for me to be held up any longer..." Rising back up to her feet, Arashi would blink before then allowing a smirk to cross her lips. "Yea..but ya did admit to assault...not to mention we caught ya in the middle of an attempted theft...so..yea...no.." Soon as she said this, the sand clone would return with a Militia member,Tacoma,prompting Arashi to rest her hand upon her hip as she nodded her head in the direction of Sugetsu. "This is the guy...also...take that thing with ya as well as evidence..." Tacoma would blink for a moment, his expression blank as he then hoisted Sugetsu to his feet. "Sure...on your feet..." "Thanks Tacoma...oh...take these as well..." Drawing the gloves from her pocket, she'd hand them over to the young shinobi, watching as he began to lead Sugetsu off. Honestly, Arashi could have left it at that, but in the moment at this point, the teen would flash the departing man a toothy grin, much like she had when she had met the crook years ago. "Hey Sugetsu! Maybe they'll like your act in the pits!" Not the most professional thing to do, though the girl would shrug her shoulders as her gaze returned to Miyo as her clone vanished back into dust upon moving back into her.

Ōnakayama Miyo The Mercurial Maiden of Sunagakure The whole ordeal with Sugetsu wasn’t Miyo’s thing. Those two had history, and whatever it was, it clearly left at least a little bad blood and plenty of competitiveness between the two – though one clearly had a fairly large advantage over the other. However, Miyo did always like the idea of rivals, as they tend to make someone better than they normally are, but Sugetsu didn’t seem like a very good one to have. Miyo casually watches Arashi go about wrapping up the little fiasco there in the alley before turning to face her. "I am surprised that Fudo would not have mentioned a second assailant before, which also makes me a bit suspicious.” She pinches at the bridge of her nose and side-eyes Arashi. "Wait… you get an allowance? How much is half?” Without any further hesitation, she joins Arashi in their trek back to locate Fudo and hopefully find the final culprit in this little crime ring.

"It's barely anything...and I probably shouldn't even call it an allowance since it's just for watchin Take sometimes..." Shrugging her shoulders as she could tell that Miyo might have been a bit miffed at having heard of this, Arashi would raise her brow with a blank expression. "What? Ya didn't get an allowance? Maybe start babysittin more...that or ask mom for a raise..." With the two now having come back around to the compound, it appeared that both Fudo and Etisuko were standing within the meeting room. Both would note the arrival of the two, leading to Fudo bowing respectfully toward the two. "Thank you once again for saving me! I know what I did was wrong, but I couldn't imagine that he'd be capable of such an act of threatening my life!" "Thats what bad guys count on...thankfully we got to em...turns out he was actually a former guy I had dealings with in the past. Not the best performer, but still a dangerous guy...ya got lucky..." Resting her hand within her pocket, the teen would watch as Fudo lowered his head, allowing for the Clan Elder to speak. "I was told of these events...it was most fortunate that you two were there when Fudo needed aid. It just perplexes me just why in the world he would be working on such a machine instead of being in the archive..." That was when the short haired brunette would raise her brow as she heard him say this. "What do you mean? Ya the one that told us he wasn't there to begin with..." Etisuko would rub his beard, eyes seeming to show genuine confusion as he shook his head. "You must be mistaken Lady Arashi...I had business with the members of the village council...I have only now just returned...and the news of all this happening is...frightening to say the least..." This wasn't right...and something definitely didn't smell right either... Making her way over to the man, prompting him to step back a bit as the shorter female would examine him, she'd simply take a whiff of the air around him, leading to her backing away as she shook her head. "You aren't the one we talked to at all..." Looking back at Miyo, her eyes narrowed as she began to work toward picking up the scent she had smelled in here when they arrived.

Ōnakayama Miyo The Mercurial Maiden of Sunagakure Miyo just peers suspiciously at Arashi for a few moments, before she shrugs slightly. "Eh, it is what it is. I did inherit my family’s mining-industrial complex, anyway, even if it is still in trust for now. That’s got me covered for funds for the time being.” She does, however, smirk at Arashi. "But babysitting… do you need me to keep an eye on you?” She chuckles mischievously, but the time for jokes and teasing was short, as they were soon upon their destination. Conveniently, they didn’t have to search for Fudo at all, as he was readily available, as if waiting for them. As Arashi spoke with the two, Miyo listened in. And much like her sister, it didn’t take her long to pick up on the fact that things were not lining up. The conclusion she drew was the same as Arashi’s: someone else had been here and had deceived them. The question then, was, who? "Do you think you can follow them? Or is it too late for that?” Miyo inquired. "I know your nose is pretty good, but if you’re not certain, I could call up my friends.” Miyo’s friends, the Dingos, were some of the best trackers and hunters in the world, and could likely find whomever they needed to find. Their aid was frequently valuable to Miyo, and what helped make her an exceptional ANBU agent. However, if Arashi was confident, Miyo would leave her to it.

It was bad enough that they had managed to have two criminal acts to deal with today, but now the truth of the matter was that they had the real culprit of a murder was now somewhere in the village when they had them dead to rights a few hours ago. With the confirmation from Miyo that she was correct, her eyes would continue to scan the area as she heard the question of if she could track them down or if she might need help. "At this point, I can only get that their in the area of the compound and nothing else...." Turning back to Miyo, Arashi would sigh as she then blinked for a moment. "Are these friends who I think they are?" The teen had known a bit of Miyo's capabilities of summoning creatures, but she had never really considered the Dingos to be excellent trackers. Hunters, maybe, but not trackers. Still, with her not having much of a lead, they would need all the help they could get. Meanwhile, Fudo and Etisuko appeared at a loss, unsure of what to do with themselves for the moment. In truth, probably keeping them close would be for the best since this individual could be planning to stick around. After all, they had murdered someone so they would need to hide it out until the heat was off of them. Perhaps that was why they had attempted to flee in the first place, realizing their lies were catching up to them? "Do it...they can cover much more ground than I can...hate to admit it.."
