Climbing down the mountain, through the cloud, he could see a village, which looked more like a resort, "That must be Kokorogakure, I'm close," he thought. Minutes turned to hours as the village in the distance became larger, closer upon inspection. Finally reaching the bottom of the mountain, the cloud was dispersed, and he only had to pass through a short forest. Wanting to finally get some rest, he pushed himself to reach the village, by hopping on the branches he reached the village in about 20 minutes.
"Finally, I reach my destination," he thought, looking at the sun. It was evening, too dark to be considered afternoon, but still too bright to be considered day. He entered the village without being pestered by guards. Inside the city looked prosperous, as if this place was solely to get away, a vacation spot. He could smell scents of all different kinds of food by people out in the streets in their little shops, he could hear a number of crowds walking around enjoying themselves. He got the attention of one of the civilians that were walking passed him, "Excuse me."
A lady stopped and spoke up from her crowd, "Hi, can I help you?"
"Do you know somebody by the name, Zacharia?" Jun asked.
She smiled, "Yes, he is a horse breeder, comes down to Kokorogakure twice a year for the races."
"Could you direct me to him?" he continued.
"You follow this path," she turned and pointed, "And about five or six blocks, his company's carriage will be on the left. The Company is named... Zacharia Racing Corp."
"Thank you," Jun replied and followed her directions. He needed to meet Zacharia and find out as much information as possible. _________________ **5 auto rank-ups

Although it was slightly loud, he enjoyed the sounds of people enjoying themselves, compared to the cold silence in Kirigakure. He counted the blocks, and to his left was a sign stuck in the ground tha read 'Zacharia Racing Corp', passed the sign were two caravans, each baring the symbol of a white horse facing the right with the back of their heads turned to specs of white dots. He walked passed the sign and the sound of four whining horses caused him to look behind the carriages. A portable fence was set up containing four brown, healthy, average looking horses munching on hay.
He approached the first caravan and knocked on the door. A voice fought its way through the wooden entrance, "State your business."
"Kirigakure shinobi to help solve the case of..." Before Jun could finish, the voice cut him off.
"That's enough, come in," the door opened revealing an older looking man with glasses. His head was balding, although his voice sounded a lot younger than he was, "I'm sorry, but with what had just happened, we MUST be cautious." _________________ **5 auto rank-ups

"My name is Shiwo, come," the old man gestured to follow him. They walked to the front of the carriage, and towards the front of the carriage, you could see bandages around a man's chest under his kimono, his right eye was blackened, and when he opened his mouth to speak he was missing his front tooth, "Come, come, I'm glad you made it here so quickly."
Jun walked over to the man and bowed, "My name is Otamai, Jun, a shinobi of Kirigakure."
Looking straight into Jun's eyes, the overweight man replied, "My name is Zacharia."
"Can you please tell me everything that happened," Shiwo came forth as well. _________________ **5 auto rank-ups

"It happened two days ago, around this time actually. Me and my caravans were traveling here to Kokorogakure..." Zacharia began
***Flashback***
Zacharia and Shiwo were both sitting in the first caravan that were being pulled by two horses. They were laughing over a couple of drinks.
"So I told me wife, if you do that, I'll bury you with your ass up so I have somewhere to park my bike!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Zacharia was feeling good, excited about the upcoming race. Shiwo looked happy as well. Completely different than the Zacharia and Shiwo that were standing in front of Jun. There were sounds of bumps coming from the ceiling of the carriage. Zacharia and Shiwo looked at each other in confusion, "I'm going to check on Ryu," Ryu was his most prized possession, his money maker for the upcoming races. He pulled the leather connected to the horses pulling the carriage indicating them to stop, he opened the door only to see a leg flying towards his ribs. He closed his eyes, and took two hits in the face, one in the mouth and one in the eye. He could hear voices of two other shinobi at the second caravan, and Ryu whining in panic.
"Shut up! Damn horse...."
"Relax, Forono," came a teenage females voice, "Good, now let's get out of here. Miraki! Let's go!"
The shinobi standing in front of Zacharia stopped his attack, "Hmph," and retreated. Shiwo bent down to check on Zacharia.
"Don't worry about me you fool! Check on Ryu!" Zacharia said in irritation, lying on the ground holding his right eye. Shiwo nodded and immediately ran out to the second carriage.
"Ryu...is gone..." Shiwo whispered with a shaky voice.
***End of Flashback***
"Hmm..." Jun was deep in thought, taking in the scene that was just presented to him, "Can you describe the shinobi that attacked you?"
"It-it happened so fast..." Zacharia answered, and Shiwo spoke up.
"I saw him, a glimpse of him, but he pretty much retreated when I saw him. He had black, slightly curly hair that a little past his ears," Jun nodded, "And his headband bore the mark of Kumogakure."
"The opponents hired Kumogakure shinobi? It'd make sense because Kumogakure was the closest," he thought, "And there was a female among them...Do you have any major competitors, Zacharia-san?"
"Kazuya Speed Corp," Zacharia replied.
Jun stood up, "I will investigate more on this now," Jun said.
Shiwo caught him as he was leaving, "If you need a place to rest, we have a guest room and bed, free of charge."
Jun nodded as he left the caravan, "Thanks." _________________ **5 auto rank-ups

Jun stepped out of the caravan, and back onto the streets of Kokorogakure. At night, the village looked amazing, very carnival-like, with lights and attractions, barbieques of all different sorts, and hoards of people walking around the atmosphere.
"Kazuya Speed Corp," he thought with a sense of direction. He blended in with the crowds, using his ears to maybe hear anything he could about the racing corporation. He walked aimlessly for about ten minutes, until he found Kokorogakure's bar. It wasn't crowded, but it wasn't packed neither. He sat down on a bar stool with two empty bar stools beside it. Two bar stools down was a man, drunk with his rosy cheeks, "HEY! You aren't from around here!! Are you?!" _________________ **5 auto rank-ups

Without looking at the man or turning his head, Jun replied, "No."
The drunken man returned, "Heh! Me neither!! I'm only here on vacation, came to watch the races!"
Jun turned his head towards the man, "The races?"
"Yea! I had all my money on Zacharia Corp's Stallion, Ryu, but now since he's been stolen, I don't know WHAT I'm gunn do!!' he started laughing.
"I heard he was beat up pretty bad," Jun said, eager to get any kind of information out of him.
"I heard it was Kazuya corp that did it, that's why they posted up outside the village, not even entering Kokorogakure until the race!"
"Hm? They are outside the village? Where else would they stay at?" he asked.
"I don't know, somewhere to the south of the village because that's the direction they came from," the man replied.
Jun stood up, "I must be on my way, Bartender, pour this man another drink," Jun said, putting change on the counter.
"Hey thanks!" he shouted.
Jun turned to walk out of the bar, "It seems karma is on both of our sides." _________________ **5 auto rank-ups

As he walked southbound, he reviewed what he knew, "The shinobi who attack Zacharia-san was named Forono, who bore a Kumogakure headband, the two other shinobi that were with him are probably Kumogakure as well. One of them is a female around my age, and the others name is Miraki" before he knew it, he was at the southern gates, he walked out of the village. Most of the area was long bladed grass, and he could see a forest ahead of him, "There's a good possibility they're there."
As he walked the path, the open area allowed his ears to be more effective, a lot more. He was so used to the mist in Kirigakure, and loud crowds, and passing the Kumogakure with the cloud, he didn't realize how powerful the technique 'Call of the Wind' can be. He immediately picked up four voices in the forest, "Three male, one female," they were mumbled and he couldn't exactly hear their words precisely.
He entered the forest and began hopping the branches, only to get closer so his ears can pick up the conversation. He wasn't even close to being in eye sight when he heard their words clearly. He put his back to a tree trunk.
First came a male's voice, "Only if you look at it that way...I say we should put money on Ryu as well, and make even more money."
"Ryu? I found them..." Jun thought.
Next another shinobi began to speak, he spoke slow and obnoxiously, "I agree with Forono-kun."
Next was the females voice, "I would just rather rob someone here. These people of Kokoro wouldn't know WHAT to do."
"Florena...your a DUMBASS... Don't you think that would give us away?" Forono spoke.
"It really doesn't matter. You can't stop me if I really wanted to, and you kno it! I have a greater attainment to lightning, and you know it!"
"Lightning users? I am at an advantage," Jun thought, "I heard enough. I need to train, this is already the second night with the scroll. I have to take in as much as I can," and with that, he turned and left. _________________ **5 auto rank-ups

He made his way back to the village, and upon return, he apparently caught the attention of one of the carnival gamers, Hey you!" Jun turned to face the man, "I have never seen eyes like yours! Do you think you can conquer the wall of the 'strained eye'?
Jun looked at the carnival game there was a wall that was 15 feet away, and a black spec in the very center of it. It seemed outrageous. The man spoke again, "This game here is strictly shinobi only, because normal passerby's don't stand a chance. Not even with luck. Thus, the prices are also shinobi only. Come in take a look," the man opened the door, and Jun walked in curiously. He stepped into a room, the walls were covered in metal, from all kinds of swords of different designs, to staffs that looked like they belong to monks, as well as preachers to pray with, to nunchuks, to a different array of daggers. There were two weapons that caught his interest. Twin fans. He walked over to them and the man caught his interest.
"Ahhh... Hayai and Taira, twin fans said to be used by the the person who first stepped onto the Land of Wind himself. These two fans have defeated 100s of foes. Each."
"Can I?" he reached out to them.
"Sure."
Jun picked up Hayai. He opened it revealing a unique design of a mixture of dark blue and shy blue, with two demons which looked as if they were holding a cloud in the shape of a scarf. He touched the center of the fan, and the folds were sharp, he cut his finger as he ran it down one of the folds. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it could be opened to a full 360 degrees, in the shape of a disk. These weapons can prove very useful in combat.
"So, whaddya say? Would you try your hand at the wall of the 'strained eye?" he wore an evil grin. Jun nodded.
Standing behind the counter, he paid the man and was handed five senbon. He threw it. It looked as if it hit the center of the wall, but was actually no where close to the black spec. His next four tries were in vain as well.
"Awwww, too bad, would you like to try again?" the man asked.
"No, but I will return when I could hit that dot," Jun replied before moving on. _________________ **5 auto rank-ups

Name: Fuuton: Kaiten Shuriken - Rotating Shuriken
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Requirements: Wind as main element
Description: By using their wind nature chakra, the shinobi can manipulate several weapons in the air. They must first channel some of their chakra into the weapons and throw them like projectiles, after which they can control them rather freely, able to change their direction and launch them at an enemy again without having to actually grab and throw the weapons. The amount of weapons that can be controlled this way depends on their size, standing at two for Fuuma Shuriken size projectiles. This technique requires no hand seals, but constantly drains some chakra while the weapons are kept in the air.
He stepped out through the northern gates, looking for a secluded place to continue his training. It has been a long day, but he wouldn't consider it over due to the deal he made with the secret scroll he made. Finding good cover in a nearby forest, he pulled out the scroll from his robe and opened it. Behind the letters, an eye appeared opening vertically, "Ahhh, I was wondering if you've forgotten, Otamai, if five days pass without me getting what I want, I would have to take your life."
"Shut up. You still have to keep your side of the bargain as well," as he was looking through the scroll, he found a technique that caught his interest. He read over the details.
The scroll spoke, "Interesting," Jun tossed the scroll down and the end of the clippings bent to become little legs. The scroll landed on its legs, and turned to face him. A rip opened at the center of it, which opened like a mouth revealing tiny sharp pin-like teeth on top and bottom. It stuck out its tongue, and on the center of its tongue, and eye opened vertically, the same eye that appeared when Jun was looking at the scroll, "Where are we?" As it spoke, it looked as if it struggled to not bite its tongue, but still spoke clearly.
"Kokorogakure," Jun replied.
"Ohhhhhh? Sent out on a mission have we?" the scroll asked. Jun nodded and turned towards a tree. Although he has been traveling all day and tired, his chakra pool has been untouched, and could train for a while as long as it did not involve to much movement or strain on the body. He pulled out a shuriken.

He held the shuriken in his right arm, and channeled his chakra into it. He threw it, and it was a dud. In no way did it move at his will. Instead it went in a straight line, "Hmm," his next attempt, he put in more chakra which ended up with the technique he was all too familiar with. He threw the shuriken and as it left his fingers, a chakra string was connected to his fingertip, he cancelled that technique, not a least bit discouraged.
The scroll began laughing hysterically, "Ha, Ha, Ha...Haaaa... it will take you all night if you dont figure out your own chakra at a deeper extent," the scrolls eye blinked vertically, slowly.
