[b]Ame - Suna - Konoha Border, Harvest Festival[/b][/center]
[hr]

Ninko tried to keep himself inconspicuous , wanting to be seen by as little people as possible. Today was a festival and had a gathering of farmers from all across the confederation. That meant there would be a need for shinobi guards to oversee that nothing went horribly wrong or to protect the innocent people from an attack by the Red Sages. Ninko was prepared to take whatever measures he had to bring them down in case they attacked. His attention was drawn to the flare that was launched up into the air and he had his right hand firmly grasped at his sword.

He reacted almost instantly when the militant Red Sages appeared and drew his sword. Ninko wasted no time in joining in the battle and quickly cut down a Red Sage by beheading him. He quickly jumped up onto the top of a festival tent to get a better look at what was going on and get a quick survey of the battlefield. Ninko heard one of his follow shinobi shout about protecting the civilians and even though he wanted to engage with more of the rebels, Ninko chose to go and assist the farmers and other attendants at the festival.

Using his incredible speed he weaved in and out though the chaos slashing out at any enemy ninja that either got in his way or was on the verge of striking down a confederate shinobi. Once he made his way to some civilians he quickly escorted them away from the fighting and to safety. That's when Kanata used the hidden mist technique and the battlefield became covered in mist. Ninko cursed as he watched mist obscure his vision of what was going in that mass of chaos. His mind was in overdrive as he thought of what to do next. With the civilians that he had escorted now out of harms way, Ninko would have to do something.

Even though many disagreed with his decisions, he chose to wait until the mist cleared and get a look on the situation. He wasn't too worried about the confederate forces since they had an uchiha and Hyuga on their side and if the legends of the two clans were true then they would be more than a match for a bunch of rebels. He wanted to go in, but he would have to wait until the mist was clear so that he could have more accuracy. An idea then popped into his head and Ninko decided that maybe it would be best to try and blend in with the Red Sages and gain valuable information about the group.

He quickly removed any symbols of the confederation that he had on his clothing and then put on a cloak that he found abandoned by a civilian. His mind thought up a story to tell the sages of his defection from the confederation and his desire to live life free of the system. He would be a skilled ninja unaffiliated with neither organization. Ninko sheathed his sword and continued to check around the battlefield to see if any civilians were injured or need rescuing, he didn't want to engage in combat for the risk of ruining his plan. 

"I pray that this plan works because I'll be going into enemy territory" he said quietly to himself.
