"It's possible." The man replied after hopping over from one tree to the next. He was older than them by only a few years, possibly in his early to mid twenties. "The Forest is bad enough full of Yōkai, I would hate to have to deal with some nefarious ninja as well."<br/><br/>"It is one of the last places around where such evil spirits still exist." He explained, shaking his head, "The shapeshifters' presence there has also mutated the wild animals."<br/><br/>After hopping down from one branch and to the ground, he crossed a river from one stone to the next, "Alright. I'll take point. Mari, you fall in behind me. When I signal and point in a direction, you must activate your Byakugan and tell me what you see. Kaname, stay in the back."<br/><br/>He stopped atop a large boulder before the ominous-looking forest in front of them. It was a subtle difference, but they could tell the path before them looked considerably more... malicious than the one they left behind.<br/><br/>"There's just one more thing. I don't plan on leaving until we find the girl- ...dead or alive. Is everyone prepared?"<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Maki was content to let the stronger youth control her, his muscled body a stark contrast to her lithe and slender form. Her body was revealed to him, a pattern of blood red tattooes following the curveture of her form. The pattern was foreign to him, and they appeared to be more like seals than Kanji.<br/><br/>She closed her eyes and let out a soft moan at his touch when he massaged and played with her nipple. Her jaw dropped slightly, the older woman releasing a sigh of pleasure and relief.<br/><br/>The kunoichi was content to be made helpless by him, her legs obliging to the slow and steady movement of his member sliding between them.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Suzume seemed pleased, smiling as she made no effort to hide the fact she was checking out her captain. The slender kunoichi giggled as she glided from one end of the springs to the other, getting awfully close to Jun.<br/><br/>The wolf kunoichi was familiar enough with her partner's libido... and penchant for daydreaming. It was likely she spent the entire walk back to the village in the clouds thinking about pleasures past and future.<br/><br/>The sparrow nin snuggled up close to Jun, resting her head on the larger and more muscular kunoichi's shoulder, "You're right... This is the perfect way to wind down." She turned inwards, her big brown eyes looking up at Jun as she felt a delicate little finger trailing circles on her thigh beneath the water, "But... I hope after all that, you're not too tired to..." Her lips stretched into a smile as she drew her mouth closer to the young woman's neck and ear, her words mere whispers.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Eye color?" One of the guards said to Yasuo as he yawned. Looking over at the man being detained by the other soldier far away enough that he couldn't hear what was being said, Yasuo narrowed his eyes at the man's dark circular glasses. He went over pulled the spectacles away from his face, the strings wrapping around his ears and the back of his head going taut before the glasses were allowed to hang from his neck. The man winced and avoided his gaze when the Ninja policeman scrutinized him. Turning to the guard, he said, "Green."<br/><br/>"Alright, that's all." The gate guard said, scribbling down the final detail to what was the completion of the man's entry in the Bingo book, "Take him in." Yasuo and a handful of the Torii soldiers set out with the captive in tow, the prisoner's head held low in shame.
