[b][center]Shiro Nagakura[/center][/b] The novice ninja stood there silently in the dispersing mist. The precipitation was very dense at this point, making it sort of hard to keep a stable breathing pattern. Shiro held his blades already in the grasp of his hands. His fist clenched together as chakra embodies the very knuckle blades. He started to listen to his environment, but couldn't hear anything other than the neutral breeze. That silence was interupted by Kuni's voice. Shiro thought she was an overall annoyance, well.........everyone annoyed Shiro, but hey. Anyhow, at this point, there was no point in making any abrupt comments. Shiro listened to what she had to say, nodding in agreement, but he had his own plan. "I'm heading that way" he instructed, pointing in the direction he planned to move. "We have to find our Sensei, so I think we can cover more ground if we separate" he whispered to her, making sure whatever enemy surrounded them couldn't hear. "You should go in the opposite way. If you find anything, call out. We should be able to hear each other's voices through the forest echoes. Since its so silent, we'll hear anything at any time." Shiro then jumped off the tree and fell to the dirt beneath him. He looked around, scanning the area before he started his own way. As he started in a light jog, he turned to Kuni to make sure she was also heading her own way. Separating may be dangerous, but at this point, what wasn't? In addition, they'd cover more ground, possibly finding their Sensei much faster than they would if they stuck together.
