The wind whistled through the trees. The forest echoed to the sound of feet crunching the fallen autumn leaves and twigs. A group of around eight men advanced through the foliage. Each was dressed head to toe in dark red leather ninja uniforms. The symbols on their shinobi headbands were covered by a black band of cloth designed to hide their nationality. The men were making no effort at stealth, clearly certain that no one was following. Suddenly, one of them heard something and stopped. He looked over his shoulder at a high branch up in the forest canopy. He relaxed when he saw that it was just a large crow landing on the branch. The bird observed the column of men curiously as they trudged of into the distance. If only the man had taken a second look, he would have seen the shape of a man, crouching where previously there was simply an innocent crow. The man, around 18 years old, was dressed almost entirely in black, with a sleeveless leather jacket, strapped up with a series of belts running across the torso, and a pair of black leather trousers and boots. On his arms he wore a pair of black fingerless gloves, with a swathe of bandages running from his fingers to his elbows for further protection. His eyes, which seemed to change colour as you looked into them, narrowed above the dark scarf that hid the lower half of his face. Above the headband that labelled him as a ninja from Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, his spiky blond hair stuck out, a long section of fringe obscuring one of his unusual eyes. Under the scarf, he smiled.
"These guys aren't even trying to be stealthy," He commented, adjusting the strange metal contraption strapped to his back. "This should be easy."
In a flash, someone else was at his side.
"As long as they remain in the woods," said the female voice. "I'm not sure what will happen once they get into the open."
The boy glanced at her. The girl was 18, like him, but shorter than he was. She was also dressed mostly in black, with tight fitting trousers and tabi on the lower part of her body. Above the waist she wore a black corset top, with fishnet webbing covering the rest of the torso and running down to her wrists. A thin black ribbon circled her neck. As the man watched, she brushed a lock of her short silver hair away from her eyes, which were a strange purple colour. Unlike the male ninja, she wore no headband to identify her village.
The man looked back to the men moving away from them.
"You let me handle that, Tsuki-chan." He said. "We'll have no problem tracking them, no matter where they go."
Tsuki smiled at him. "OK, Kazuki-kun."
The two of them watched their quarry slowly fade into the foliage, waiting for the right moment. After a minute or two, Kazuki reached out an arm to Tsuki, and poked her in the upper arm.
Tsuki smiled, still watching the men. "Sexual harassment, Kazuki-kun…"
Kazuki raised an eyebrow. "Shall we?" He asked, indicating the path the men had taken.
Tsuki nodded, and, with a rustle of leaves, the two ninja were gone.
