== Tittle: Itsumo's Search and Discovery: Search for the Missing Jounin ==
IItsumo:*Itsumo didn’t have to go think twice as she sat in the tree outside of the village of Yonshigakure her home. Her Jounin needed to be found and if two high ranking shinobi would no have just vanished from view. Though she had seen a Jounin from Amegakure vanish without a trace this wasn’t possible for her Jounin. She took off into the tree’s heading toward the land of Fire this was not someplace she liked to venture since the fall of Konaha it had become a land of poverty and desperate people. The weather was not bad in any case the sun was out shining above the trees of the forest hidden in death and she was ready to start a new chapter in her life first off hunting for a shinobi to save them instead of killing them. It was not a simple trip the only information she knew was from last report the two Jounin were heading towards the ruins of Konaha. Itsumo was going to start near their and then expand her search if she didn’t find anything. Dressed in all black from head to toe except for her pale blonde hair she was moving like a shadow through the trees. Swiftly and silently knowing that if she was discovered she could handle herself but hoping that she would at least make it through most of the trip without confrontation. She knew there was no way to avoid confrontation completely but she was hoping for the best. The trip took five hours of moving at her speed just to reach the land of fire and by that time it was noon and the sun was high in the sky. There was no way to travel in the shadows at that point but at least the land of fire was one large forest.  Itsumo kept to the trees avoiding any chakra signatures or any sign of life as she moved in the direction of the village hidden in the leaves or at least where it once stood. Itsumo moved as fast as she could hopping that she would get there in time to save the two Jounin.*
IItsumo:*It was getting dark when she finally reached the boarder of the ruins the once large village looked like a crater filled with over grown crumbled buildings and wildlife all around. She scanned the ruins and found at the center of the ruins was a group of five chakra signatures. Two of them she knew as the missing Jounin she was looking for. They were still alive she wouldn’t have felt their chakra if they had been dead so this gave her hope. She took off through the ruins silently keeping up high in the trees that had grown up through the crumbled buildings. It had been thirteen years since the village was destroyed by Kagato and it was odd that she had returned here after encountering him on her last Mission. She shook the though from her head as she paused up and surveyed what she saw. There were three shionbi sitting around a fire and the two Jounin where tied down with chains where infused with chakra she could see that one of the shinobi sitting by the fire was the one that had infused their chakra into the chains and that was no simple task to do so the shinobi had to be higher level either a missing ninja from another village or one whom had fled one of the fallen villages after the war. The other two she wasn’t sure of their skill but she knew that she was going to have to fight them all three in order to save her two Jounin. She sighed softly trying to figure out the best approach to this situation with our hurting her Jounin in the process. She slowly dropped to the ground and silently moved closer to examine the shinobi more. The one with the chakra infused chain was tall and thin he had black hair and was dressed in green cloth like clothing. The one that sat to his right was a female her hair was green in color and by her feet resting against the log was a large sheriken. The one of his left side was a male shorter and a bit plump odd of a shinobi but his hair was also black in color but there was nothing that stood out about him. She shook her head as she prepared to do whatever she had to do to save the two Jounin. *
IItsumo:*Itsumo had to figure out what their plan was and then take them out one by one if she had any chance of getting the two Jounin out alive. She looked down at the ground it wasn’t rock it was dirt that made it a bit easier for her to get closer and know what was going on. Itsumo used hiding like a mole technique as she slid into the ground the earth turning like sand as she slipped into it. She wasn’t quite comfortable being underground but it was the simplest way to get closer to them without being detected.  As she moved closer to the camp where the three Shinobi and her two captured Jounin were at she felt a strange feeling of the earth moving beneath her but she didn’t pay it much attention as she stopped and listened to see if the Shinobi were talking. They were apparently looking for a lost relic in the ruins something that had been missing for a while that was once held by a shinobi in Kohana. She figured that their search was useless anything of strength would have been taken by Amegakure when they destroyed Konaha thirteen years prior but apparently these three though they would find it and her two Jounin were to be a sacrifice to whatever it was. Itsumo didn’t like the sounds of that even if she didn’t think the weapon was in Konaha’s ruins she didn’t want to find out what they would do to the two Jounin if they didn’t find it. Itsumo was about to move back to her spot that she was in before she went underground when the whole earth started to shake and the dirt beneath her and above her started to fall down and further down the ninja above were yelling as they too were pulled down with the dirt. *
IItsumo: *it was dark and there was dirt everywhere as Itsumo started getting to her feet her pouch had ripped and her senbon where laying in the dirt around her as the three shinobi and her two Jounin started to come to as well. The fall had been a large one and she was feeling a sharp pain in her left leg as she stood assessing the situation she had gotten herself into. The two Jounin were still trapped in the chains and laying on the ground behind the three shinobi whom were all looking right at Itsumo. Itsumo let out a soft chuckle as she looked at the three shinobi and shook her head. The Female shinobi spoke up first in a cackling like tone* “Well looks like we caught ourselves another sacrifice” *the girl laughed and looked at the Shinobi whom seemed to be the leader of the group. The male spoke next as he looked at the girl. * “Perhaps this one will be more challenging to catch” *he then laughed as the two shinobi both started towards Itsumo. The girl with her giant shuriken in hand launched it at Itsumo whom with a quick move of her hands Tiger then snake and finally ram and sends a spiraling vortex of wind towards the shurkien sending it flying back at the Girl. The girl lets out a growl as she doges to the left running into the man she was fighting with. The man growls and shouts at the girl to watch what she is doing and then he attacks pulling a large Katana from his back he charges at Itsumo attempting to slice at her left leg. Itsumo lept to the right avoiding the sword but when she lands she stumbles on her injured leg and hits a very hard pole that is sticking out of the ground not doing any more damage to herself but then the man charges her again. *
IItsumo: As the man charges at Itsumo she grips the pole that she had just slammed into and yanks it from the earth to her shock it is a broken broadsword that has a funny shape to it. Itsumo doesn’t think twice as she swings the broken sword and it clashes with the katana the man is swinging the force of the broken blade snaps the poorly made katana of the male in two. Itsumo swings again this time slicing the man’s mid-section as he stumbles backwards blood splattering the dirt and the half sword. Itsumo’s eyes go wide as the sword gets a little bit larger as if it is mending itself from the blood of the man but after a few seconds it stops only a few inches longer that it was at first. The man laid motionless on the ground as the girl got back to her feet and shouted back to the man who’s chakra held the chains around the Jounin Itsumo had come to rescue. *Girl: “She found it Sensei!” *the girl then charged at Itsumo with her shurkien in hand swigging it like a blade and once again clashing with the sword. Itsumo spun with the sword sticking it through the hole in the middle of the Shurkien and lifted up the girl growled still holding on to her shurkien as it twisted so did her arm and she let out a shriek of pain and let go. Itsumo flung the shurken off to the side with her sword as she twisted with the sword in a circular pattern like she would with her tanto but only with the slightly larger sword slicing the girl several times in her chest and mid section as she spun. The girl stumbled her blood splattering the ground as she fell backwards to the ground the sword once again began to heal itself. Itsumo was confused she had only ever heard of one sword that could heal itself from the blood of its enemies and it was only a sword of rumors it had not been seen or used in years one of the seven legendary swords of the mist Kubikiribocho. Itsumo looked at the blade that was still not fully fixed wide eyed this must have been the weapon the Shinobi were looking for and what they were going to use to kill her Jounin. Her attention suddenly darted to the Jounin as they let out a shriek of pain the chains had tightened around them slicing them and making them both have lacerations from the chains they were bleeding out all over the ground. She had to move fast she darted towards the last shinobi swinging the sword and attempting to hit him in the neck but the shinobi dodged and then lept backwards toward her Jounin speaking out.* “Hand over Kubikiribocho and I wont kill them both with the chains.” *Itsumo knew she couldn’t hand over the sword to the shinobi first off he would still kill the Jounin though from the way they were bleeding they didn’t have much time left and secondly it was a legendary sword and she couldn’t just hand something that valuable for her village to a random shinobi whom could use it against her village. Itsumo growled and once again lunged at the shinobi her Jounin let out another cry of pain but this time she made contact with the shinobi’s left arm slicing it to the bone. He cried out and stumbled backwards his blood splattering the blade and it began to heal once more. She swung again the man using his right arm to pull another chain out of his pouch and swing it at the sword. Itsumo flipped backwards the sword and chain never cladding as she dropped to the ground and spun around low swinging the sword and hitting the shinobi’s right leg the blood once again splattering the blade as it healed more. The shinobi stumbled backwards the loss of blood from both his arm and leg making him fall to the ground unable to fully take the pain. Itusmo Moved forward looking down at the shinobi as she took the blade and sliced off the shinobi’s head the splattering of the blood on the earth and sword as the man lay dead on the dirt. The blade was fully healed now and looked like a large butcher knife Itsumo shook her head still not sure how the sword was still in Konaha after all this time as she made her way over to the Jounin. They both lay motionless on the ground at that point she was already too late and her heart sank. She should have moved faster but her leg was still in a lot of pain as she looked down at the bodies of the two Jounin still wrapped in chains. *
IItsumo: *Itsumo took a talisman out of her pocket and placed it on Saito it automatically activated and covered both of his eyes. She did this for the fact that those eyes if in the wrong hands could be deadly. She then sighed as she moved to Hinori and after setting the sword down into the ground for a moment bent down and closed the young Harono’s eyes. Just then she felt a group of chakra signatures moving towards her and she reached for the blade gripping it and preparing to fight but when the Shinobi appeared in front of her it was a group of her own Anbu from the village dressed in all black with dark black masks. Seems they had either figured out that she was on her own or her other self the copy of herself had sent them to aid her incase. She shook her head as they knelt down and stayed silent waiting for orders. Itsumo looked at them before speaking. * “We lost two of our Jounin today careful with their bodies I want them both as well as the three enemies taken back to the village hospital to be examined. I want to move out as soon as possible so hurry up and gather the remains.” *She then turned and moved away from the group as they began to move and fallow orders gathering up the remains of the shinobi that had all fallen there that day. As they did the task she had assigned them she secured the sword she had acquired that day to her back and then leapt out of the hole waiting up on the solid earth for the Anbu.  It didn’t take long before the Anbu were up on the ground with her and ready to move out. Each of them carrying a body or body part. She nodded and took off in the direction of the land of tea once more not moving as fast because of her injured leg but the anbu fallowed behind her in formation. The Trip back took longer and it was almost mid-day the next day when they arrived back in Yonshigakure.  All of them including Itsumo went straight to the hospital though while the Anbu took the bodies to a cold room she went into a room off to the right and pulled herself up onto a table her injured leg stretched out in front of her. A few seconds later the other Itsumo came into the room and she put herself back into one body it healing itself when doing this she then sighed and left the hospital with the sword still attached to her back and headed back to the Kage office the report still needing filed and a memorial needing to be planned for the two Jounin even after a very long two days she didn’t have time to rest.*
