How far will they go, just how long has she been after them. It felt like days on this chase. Maybe the estimated pths were off or maybe they went off the path. Amegakure recently discovered a group of bandits, but the exuminated with chakra. It was marked as a shinobi threat, They were last tracked to heading in the direction of Tsuchi no Kuni, prompting Amegakure to send a messenger hawk in conjunction with an available Amegakure shinobi at the time. Once again, Towa found herself both heading to an allied nation and after quite possibly nukes. They couldn't paint a picture for her, all they could do was pick up a ping and point her the way they were headed. Hopefully, she wasn't too late.

Finding them wasn't an option, at least not right now. But, eventually, she found a trail at a nearby town, the locals offered enough aid to point her in the right direction, but that was it. All too often, the land of Arashi no Kuni was the war grounds of opposing sides fighting and the countryside was notably still recovering to this day. It was all processed in the Takda's head as a visual history lesson. Once she crossed the border to Tsuchi no Kuni, the trail became so much harder to discern. She was hoping that Iwa shinobi to aid her could find her.

The Takeda truly didn't feel like abandoning her work to go to Iwagure at that moment, especially not after what Sanosuke did.

The Devil Bringer
The true power of the Takeda clan, the Devil Bringer has found creation in Towa. This power transforms her right forearm and hand. The arm itself possesses superhuman strength, which manifests a larger, spectral arm when infused with Chakra. The versatility of the arm is quite remarkable, putting most physiology clan KKGs to shame. The Devil Bringer itself is highly durable, which when combined with its strength makes it very useful for blocking attacks. Although the Devil Bringer is constantly glowing, the strength of the glow appears to be linked to several factors. Those include how much focus the user is putting into it. In others, words how much control the user has over their chakra. The Devil Bringer is also linked to the Towa's own stamina, and even her raw emotions; creating a state which can catalyze the activation.

Unholy Chakra Control
As an agent of the Takeda, the guardian has developed a firm understanding of how her Devil Bringer operates. In order to keep from exhausting herself mid-combat and maximize the efficiency of her unholy ability, Towa trained her body to utilize as much minimum chakra necessary at her skill to use jutsus. This does not decrease the required amount, this only prevents excess chakra from being used in jutsus, and hinders any loss that may happen when weaving signs. However, this is not at all perfect. While she is very efficient at controlling her chakra, she is still liable to a moderate excess drain that comes with expending chakra.

Demonic Strength
A spawn of the Takeda clan, ace of the Devil Bringer, Towa has distributed the added strength boon not just to her arm but throughout her body. Possessing unnatural levels of strength when not using his Jutsu transformations, Towa's demonic strength is the pinnacle of nightmares. Multiplying exponentially under the influence of the Devil Bringer, it is in legends by word of mouth that Towa has attained a true Devil's Spirit within his core. This boon is surprisingly still relative to her natural strength and will continue to grow as she matures and gains new skills and new statuses.

bleed it out
There wasn't an absolute ton of nuance to the mission that the chunin had been assigned to today, outside of being teamed up with a shinobi from an allied village. These types of missions were rare, but not unheard of. A group of bandits originating in Arashi no kuni had crossed the border into Tsuchi no kuni which at that point made it Iwa's problem, and in an the spirit of cooperation the two shinobi villages representing the respective countries decided to work together to take out the ne'erdowells. The reasoning didn't matter all that much to Ouritsu but he was excited for the opportunity to get out of the village and stretch his legs for a bit.

The chunin had hoped to solely represent Iwa in the mission as he felt himself more than capable but, surprisingly enough, the higher ups had decided to add none other than the Sage of the village to it as well. They had done one other mission together and it was clear that the woman was definitely deserving of her title but the rumors about them being kinda elusive were proving to be untrue, at least in Ouritsu's eyes. No matter, Midori had been a pleasure to work with before and though he had no doubts about being able to successfully complete the mission there was now little doubt that they'd be able to find these guys and take them out.

The designated meeting point with their partner from Amegakure was a small town that had given some information about the targets and from what they had gathered so far not a lot of headway had been made into the country which was promising but they'd definitely still be on the move so time was of the essence. "I wonder how long it is till our Ame friend shows up?" Ouritsu would pose to Midori as he kicked around a small rock not far from the town center. It had been quite some time since the young Nohime had been able to flex his skills and he was more than ready to try his hand at deleting something... or someone.

Peace Between All
すべての間の平和

At first glance, it might have seemed as if the lady had zoned out and completely forgot that she had been assigned a mission with none other than Ouritsu..again. Her face was buried in her book as she rested her body weight against a smaller light pole. She didn’t talk much now, so it was easy to think that she wasn’t paying much attention. That however wasn’t exactly the case, you see there were a lot of things running through the woman’s mind and she was having trouble settling her thoughts. It was the first time she had been separated from her child and it was eating away at her heart. Though when the young man spoke to her with familiarity..the woman’s gaze sought out for a moment before looking around, taking in the surroundings as if she hadn’t been to this particular village on numerous occasions.

Closing her notebook with a notable thud, Midori would offer Ouritsu a gentle smile to help put his worries at ease. "We are at the rendezvous spot, right? I’m sure they’ll be here in no time y’know.” Her lips curled as she tilted her head to one side. While on the exterior she smiled, the woman felt a sense of urgency within the pit of her stomach, she was ready to get this mission over with. As the seconds continued to build leading to minutes, Midori was going to bring herself to strike up a little small talk to help pass the time. She wanted to talk about Yoshiko, knowing that the two were family. The sage also wanted to talk about how much Ouritsu had grown as a shinobi, and didn’t mind handing him the reins for the mission. However, all of this simply stayed on the woman’s mind as she brought herself to speak…just as the words were on the edge of her tongue, the sound of footsteps scurrying across the stone path gathered the woman’s attention and struck down any chance at small talk that she had planned.

"Oi!..”
"That might be her.”

She said to the boy without exactly turning to face him. Instead her eyes remained on the girl. Picking her back pack from off the ground, the woman would quickly toss it over her shoulder and prepare herself for the mission.

"Hello..” She spoke in her soft tone, bowing shallowly to the girl before heading off in a certain direction.

A woman with long black hair tied back into a pony tail, would be approached by a woman accompanied by a male shinobi. Iwagakure shinobi for sure. The woman was dressed in what appeared to be a chuunin vest, as well as bore a head band whose brand couldn't be seen. It was no surprise she'd be mistaken for their rendezvous partner. However this woman looked deathly unenthusiastic with the mistake, a spiked club in her hand to which she'd tighten her grip when approach. Her eyes narrowing in a very unfriendly manner, but her overall figure and accessories didn't real make her pose a threat to a sage.

"You're looking for an Amegakure girl?" She'd ask the woman very forwardly with a stern, don't fuck with me kind of tone. "She'd been pointed in that direction and instantly took off for it. I think she was miss lead though, as there's much better hiding places that way and I swore a few outlanders just went it too." The woman would confidently point out the direction Towa had been sent upon arriving at the village, as she'd then point out almost the opposite direction as the way she was proposing bandits had went. Upon closer inspection of the woman, it'd be clear her vest was and headband were low grade material. Clearly she'd had no position in a real shinobi army.

Towa's mission sent her to a border to follow a trail, while the Iwagakure shinobi had been sent to a border town. Each was in the right place, but due to the hastily set up meeting. The actual meeting spot had been scuffed to a degree. Towa finds the direction she'd been sent across the border would lead her two three reasonably travelable paths. One which continued in the direction that the bandits had last been sited going, one which seemed much more like a main road to a village and the last being a route which went the exact opposite direction the bandits had been reported going.

How'll the shinobi rendezvous now? What will they do to best follow a now fading trail?

Coming to a notably sharp fork in the road, Towa stomped her feet and leaned back to eventually slow to a stop. The Chūnin narrowed her eyes as she tried her best to deduce where exactly the reported threat went. She didn't essentially worry about a trail going cold, she managed to come this far and the denizens within Tsuchi no Kuni were kind enough to point her in the needed directions, at least that was the hope. The only benefit these people would receive is a new, possibly more dangerous threat, than the standard bandit threats. The woman placed a hand to her head, pinching the bridge of her nose. She didn't know where they went, whether she was tired, or straight exhausted.

She wasn't one of the fabled JITE nor was she used to pursuing so far for so long. The Takeda sighed, dropping her arms to look for a sign, tracks, she was still annoyed that the lack of supposed backup had yet to arrive, though in truth, she wasn't sure where they were to meet. Everything was so hastily done and information was bound to be mixed up. Things were bound to be messed up. The tracks all led down what looked like a main road, she could obviously follow it, but she wasn't even sure if their tracks were gone or not even there to begin with. At some point, they'll diverge from known paths. They pointed me in that direction, but that was it, no words about a fork. So do I keep going that way, or do I go the opposite?

The woman knew this decision was eating precious time, and she wasn't a sensor herself, she'd love to be one, it'd help her out a lot, but she wasn't the type that could, was she? Towa gripped her fist before settling on a rather weak decision, one based on assumption rather than hard-coded evidence. She took a deep breath before dashing down the path she was already following. Maybe there'd be another rendezvous point deeper, if they were to intercept and she was to follow, maybe they'd encounter each other once they found the targets.
