Konohagakure ANBU
Land of Lightning[/b] 

The journey from The Land of Fire to the Land of Lightning took Suzaku significantly more time than he anticipated it would take. Despite all the haste he took, he had to stop several times mostly due to the weather being unfriendly towards any travelers - nobody liked to travel with a raging thunderstorm around. He knew the Hokage was counting on him to deliver the message as swiftly as possible, but it seemed that nature wanted the exact opposite. But his journey was finally reaching its second, easier half. He was entering the territory of The Land of Lightning now, and from there The Village Hidden by Clouds was a short journey. He was looking forward to visit the village - before his promotion to an ANBU operative, he did not have many chances of seeing the other villages. And also, it would mean completing the mission. This lifted the spirits of Suzaku.

Soon, the terrain around him started to change - deserts becoming more and more prominent, with the notable formations of rocks the land was famous after. The village must be closing because he saw more and more signs of larger villages or settlements as he passed by. One part of him wanted to break off from his current path and take a look at the Unraikyo Strait, but that would be against the orders of his mission. Maybe he could ask the Hokage for a personal leave sometimes in the future. Chuckling at the thought, he continued to approach the Cloud, the documents he had to deliver safely on his belt.[/center]
