[center][b]Nariko Jun[/b][/center] [center][b]Kumogakure ANBU, code name Rakurai.[/b][/center] Orders reached Nariko faster than he would anticipate, but then again he was an ANBU operative. He had to be prepared to carry out orders at a moments notice, and so he prepared his equipment every day. And today, orders reached him - he was to travel to The Snow Country and propose an alliance to them. The orders came directly from Takeru-Senpai, so they had to be important in more than one way. He thanked the man and gave him the message that he is heading out within an hour and will contact Takeru via his messenger summon as soon as he arrives in The Snow Country. He thanked the man for delivering the message and turned to finish his routine chakra molding exercise. In order to keep his Nin-kenjutsu skills at top shape, he did this regularly. The sun was already shining over the village and gave it a golden like appearance. With a last deep breath, he finished his exercise and started to prepare for immediate departure. As his things were prepared already, he had to do very little preparations by now. He only grabbed some currency and a small pack for of rations enough for one day. He will head to the north for a port. There, he will take a ship through the Gaikotsu bay and he will be in The Snow Country in no time. He donned his ANBU uniform and equipment, strapped his blade to his back. He decided to travel without his mask, but still carried it with himself - he strapped it to his belt. At last, he donned his cloak and pulled up the cowl and left his place. Within minutes, he was out of the village and heading north, towards the coasts of the Lightning Country. If he can keep up his pace, he will reach it within a day or two and can catch a ship to The Snow Country. There, he will carry out the mission to the best of his capabilities.
