Hinori, Inpa, Rockpath (emitter)

Summary:
A Konoha Secret-Seller was rooted out, Konoha sent an Inuzuka speed tracker to recover the individual, but Iwa was also after the individual for the secrets. So a battle ensues.
"Kono vs. Iwa: To Recover A Snitch"
Spike Rock [Land of Earth]
«OOC» Hinori says, "So what sort of story has an Inuzuka coming out here to Spike Rock and finding a foe here to tango with?"
«OOC» Inpa nods. "There's a member of the Land of Fire's court that has been selling small state secrets to someone in Land of Stone. Hinori, being Inuzuka, is told to track them. There isn't expected to be shinobi coverage.
«OOC» Inpa says, "Inpa gets told to go meet some guy and escort them in. Neither really knows that the other is suppose to be there."
«OOC» Hinori says, "Sounds easy enough."
«OOC» Inpa says, "I just have to ask you to log. I can't do so at work."
«OOC» Inpa says, "but I'll be happy to run this."
«OOC» Hinori says, "Gonna be tough… but as long as I can get a tutorial on how to do it, sure. Like… the posting of the log, not the logging itself."
«OOC» Inpa says, "+news log"
«OOC» Hinori says, "Okay. I'll keep that in mind."
«OOC» Inpa says, "pretty straight forward. Email to there, done. :)"
«OOC» Hinori says, "Alrighty. Let's do this, then!"
«OOC» Hinori says, "You start or shall I?"
«OOC» Inpa says, "I start. I'm running the mission. :)"
«OOC» Hinori says, "Okeydokey"
Noted so it's in the log, Inpa is giving full DC, if it comes to that point with the mission.
There seems to be some bit of intruge going on in the Land of Fire's court. Some minor courtier was caught selling secrets. This of course made the leadership mad and he ran. The process of him leaving and getting a mission to Konoha took a little bit, allowing the man to get fairly close to Iwagakure before she'd really get good on that trail. Her mission? Recover the man of importance and bring him in for questioning. He needs to be alive. Anyone else does not.
Inpa is a 'genin' for Iwa.. so while he's a potential, he's still someone they can use as a resource. As such, he's the one tagged with going out to Spike Rock. There, a man will arrive. He is to be escorted in. There's no trouble expected. a D-rank mission for a 'genin' showing his worth. Easy run, right?
Inpa stood near the Spike Rock as he'd watch the few people trickle past now and then. He has a book in his hand, some obscure tome about chakra delimiters as he'd wait. He was always good at waiting.
Noted as well so it is in the log, DC is given if it comes to that point.
One of those passersby is a young female in a slightly loose hoodie. One of those ones with the pockets that reach from one end to the other. The hood is over her head as she moves, taking around the scenery of where she was. A large pillar like stone jutting out of the ground is a very noticeable target… and something that just keeps seeming to pull the young girl's eyes towards… some reason…
(( Flashback ))
"I want you to retrieve the target and bring him back. You're the one saying you're one of our fastest Inuzuka Genin… now's your chance to prove it…"
Yeah, right… easy to say… another thing to do… she'd been on the move basically for a few days now, only stopping to sleep in shifts before continuing her travels… but who in shifts with? The sound of mild whimpering could be heard from within the noticeably weighted pocket of the hoodie the teen girl was wearing. "Not now… we're not even supposed to be here…" She's whispering this quietly as others near her. She just smiles and bows her head respectively before continuing onwards…
Once out of earshot, she sighed a small bit. "Close one… now… if I were a secret-selling scumbag… where would I be…?"
Mr. Secret-Selling Guy, whose name is now going to be Pong due to lack of creativity, was cursing silently to himself for getting caught. He had been doing this business for some time now, primarily because the extra money was nice. After all, minor courtiers don't get much to live the plush life he dreamed of… Right now, he's starting to feel a bit more safe, but he is still looking around a lot. This is more to try and find the escort that Iwa promised him.
Inpa glances up as Pong walks past, peering after the man a moment before closing his book and putting it away. Inpa moves forward then, falling in line next to Pong with a nod. "Pong-san. Glad you made it. If you walk with me, we'll head to the location I am to bring you. You can call me Inpa." He'd smile lightly. "Best to just agree and we go. Questions can be asked later, alright?"
RP: Hinori transforms into HOSHI.
RPCOMBAT: Hinori defends against with a INUZUKA-SENSES…18
«OOC» Inpa coughs. "As the GM for the plot.. I'd say that's enough you peg Pong as the guy, from your mission brief and the shirt you were given to track with."
«OOC» Hinori says, "Okey"
Suddenly, the pocket of the hoodie-wearing girl begins to growl a small bit. The girl just nods. "I smell him too…" Using her preternatural speed, she booked it quickly and quietly as she could towards her intended target. Even though she wouldn't really be interacting with any Shinobi from Iwa, it was still smart to stay anonymous until she needed to be. After all… technically, Konoha wasn't really permitted to do much of anything on this side of the border.
It wouldn't be long before hers and the dog's noses would hone in on the individual they were sent to find, Pong. Along with… another individual moving with him… a… shinobi? Oh geez… this just went south quickly… she'd never had to fight another Shinobi from another village like this before… nor had she ever had to do so that didn't start a village incident… she gulped a small bit and helped the little Ninken dog out of her hoodie pocket before removing it so she could move more effectively, attempting to use her speed to maybe catch up to the guy, grab him and get away before anyone noticed… small chance of that happening…
COMBAT: Hinori finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Rockpath's turn.
RPCOMBAT: Rockpath defends against with a PERCEPTION…24
Pong is largely unaware of Hinori's presence, but he's still a bit jumpy. Despite the fact that he had discarded most of his material goods while he was running away in order to blend in with the crowds more, he can't change his scent. The one thing that the Inuzuka rely on the most to hunt down their targets… "Got it…" Pong says, obviously a bit wary. "Though… Just a heads up… I ended up getting noticed, so there might be some trouble brewing. Not sure if it'll be here or not, though. I didn't notice anyone following me, at least."
The man takes a breath and lets out a sigh, even as he walks with the Iwa Genin. He felt a bit safer, at least, now with the escort. But something was nagging him in the back of his mind and telling him that he wasn't in the clear yet. "Che… I guess my going back isn't going to happen…" he mutters to himself, again cursing himself for getting noticed.
COMBAT: Rockpath finishes his turn.

COMBAT: Inpa focuses 1494 stamina to turn it into 2000 usable chakra!
RPCOMBAT: Inpa defends against with a SEAL-WALL…52
Inpa would smile politely to Pong and nod. A small frown as they walked along with the comment of him being noticed. "Great. Well that will make this a little more difficult then. Not impossible however." Having picked up on the one suddenly interested in them, Inpa would reach over and pat Pong's shoulder. "It'll be fine." As Hinori would try to grab Pong, the seal shimmers, that wall of chakra stopping her short. Inpa glances over to her with a small smile, studying her a moment before giving a light nod. "Let me guess. Recover and return? I'm sorry, Inuzuka-san. But I can't allow you to do that. I advise you return now. Before someone gets hurt."
COMBAT: Inpa finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Hinori's turn.
GAME: Save complete.
Suddenly impact! But nowhere near the target himself! And at her speed, it hurt a bit! But she quickly bounced backwards and slid away to get a sense for what she and her Ninken companion had to tend with. "So I take it I'm not the first Inuzuka you've encountered… then you should know that we aren't very nice at letting our target go once we've got the scent…" The Inuzuka dog just growled next to his partner, the fur on his back bristling a bit. "Seems Hoshi doesn't really like you… oh well. Here I was ready to let you leave… but orders are orders." She then got into her combat stance, ready to make a move the moment her foe did so. "Don't you go anywhere, Secret-Stealing Scumbag. Or do. Either way, I'll catch you… your mistake for leaving a shirt behind…"
For all of her big talk… this was her very first real combat scenario… all of the previous fights were training… and while the training was still real enough, it wasn't anything like staring down an enemy Ninja, waiting for them to strike… She took a breath and readied herself for what was to come!
COMBAT: Hinori focuses 473 stamina to turn it into 500 usable chakra!
COMBAT: Hinori finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Pong's turn.
Pong glances over when he hears the Inuzuka bounce off the seal wall protecting him. He was a bit impressed… Mostly that Inpa was able to detect and protect him so quickly. "Thanks…" he mutters to Inpa before he turns to face the angry Inuzuka. "It's not my fault my house and all my belongings are back in the Leaf. I'm not a part of the court for nothing, after all," he says with a frown. "That being said…" Maybe he could taunt her a bit. Might be a bad idea, of course, but Inpa seemed like he could take Hinori. "You don't look like much." He sort of squints at Hinori, as if studying her. … And he takes a step or two back behind Inpa.
COMBAT: Pong finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Inpa's turn.
Sigh. Loudmouth. Inpa glances at Pong with a mute stare, before returning his attention to Hinori. He'd pull a few seals from one of his pockets. "So that's how you got the scent. No matter." Inpa would throw one seal, the shimmering image on it of the kanji 'wind' releases a sudden torrent of air to burst at Hinori, the other seal Inpa threw going along with that wind to plant on her and 'lightning' would flare, a static cloud of lighting arcing between her and her dog to zap them both. "I'll try to not hurt you too badly. No sense in losing your life on this, Inuzuka-san."

COMBAT: There are no more attacks for you to defend against.
Trying to move out of the way of the Ninja's attack, it only caused her to become unbalanced due to the sheer wind that was being blown towards her. "Gah!" was all she could get out before being zapped heavily by that damaging attack! One bad thing about having the senses of a dog, sometimes it can mess you up… because as the wind blew upwards towards her, she had to wince heavily as granules of dust particles got lodged up there and now she just had the smell of dirt in her nose heavily! Taking time to brush it out of her nose, she just growled at the Ninja. "Dirty trick… using my senses against me… I'd be impressed if I were not now determined to kick your ass!" She charged forward against the Ninja, the damage she'd taken before having knocked out some bit of sense she'd even have in this type of scenario going up against a vastly superior opponent… but regardless, she scooped up her Ninken and threw him at the Wind Style Ninja, the Dog curling up into a ball just as he was being thrown to add some damage into it. Then using the dog as a metaphorical scarf in the face, the Inuzuka girl began her rotation and followed her companion up with her own attack!
COMBAT: Hinori attacks Inpa with DOG-TACKLE with a roll of: 31
COMBAT: Hinori attacks Inpa with TSUGA with a roll of: 28
COMBAT: Hinori finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Pong's turn.
Pong just stays behind Inpa for now, watching as the fight suddenly starts. Wait, should he still be sticking around? Maybe he should head towards Iwa … He would, actually, if he knew how to get there himself. Despite a few trips this way before, he never actually got to the Hidden Stone because he always expected to head back. Usually it was an info exchange and then stay at a local (neutral-territory) inn…
Suddenly Hinori breaks his train of thought for favor of throwing a dog in Inpa's direction. Pong steps to the side a bit in case Inpa happens to dodge and leave Pong open for the taking… Staying near the fight seemed dangerous, though! So he starts shuffling even more backwards to try and at least hide.
COMBAT: Pong finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Inpa's turn.

COMBAT: Inpa wins the roll.
COMBAT: Inpa defends against TSUGA(28) attack from Hinori with a SPARK-SHIFT…44
COMBAT: Inpa wins the roll.
Inpa steps back a step as the Inuzuka just got pissed. Well.. that's fun. "Pong-san. Go. I'll catch up." As the dog is flung, so is a seal, the barrier shimmering to stop the dog short of getting to him. With Hinori blasting through with that rotation, Inpa would duck slightly and with another seal planted on the ground, skid off to the side, the lightning arcing behind him as he'd get out of the way. Left behind however, was more seals, one with 'Water' on it, unleashing a blur of needles at the approaching Hinori, forcing her away from Pong and Inpa and into where a second seal, 'Fire' was at, that flares in a rush of flame at the Inuzuka!

COMBAT: There are no more attacks for you to defend against.
The incoming water needles quickly made short work of the Ninken, causing a huge whimper as he was attacked and felled. Seeing this, the Inuzuka girl quickly attempted to weave a hand sign to get herself out of danger… but too late, the incoming fire attack now dealing its damage to her. Coupled with the lightning from before, this was her last bit of strength, collapsing from the pain and crying out as she looked at her target and her quarry… gritting her teeth, she attempted… very shakily… to get up… but she clearly was in no state to fight anymore. Several burn marks adorning her body from both fire and electricity… this Inuzuka girl was done… but while it was absolutely clear that she would not be able to land any sort of blows whatsoever… even moreso from all the damage she's taken… it's clear that the difference in power here was just too big a gap to bridge… but all that having been said, she still stood up… heavily breathing… shaking vigorously… "I… I can… do this… all day…" And as she said this, she attempted to jump forward and spin once more… but she didn't have the strength to fully pull it off, instead spinning around a small bit and falling to the ground with a large 'thump' and groan… this fight was over…
COMBAT: Hinori finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Pong's turn.
Pong just chooses to turn tail and head in the direction they were going. He wasn't about to mess with the affairs of the shinobi, even if he was the root cause of it all. The man took shelter in a rocky overhang that seemed safe, while also permitting some view of the nearby trail that he expected Inpa to come along. Now it was just a waiting game, after all…. "Ugh… I'm either going to have to train up or figure out a new life…" he sighs to himself, head thumping back against the rock.
COMBAT: Pong finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Inpa's turn.
Inpa watched the Inuzuka get caught by the trap and after an attempt to go after him.. goes down. Shaking his head, he'd walk over and plant a seal on her shoulder. "Stay down. You don't stand a chance." The seal would go off and that wind would plant her against the ground even harder, including her dog to keep them both in place, blasting the air down at them so they can't catch a scent for which way the shinobi went either. One last seal, 'water' is flipped into the air by Inpa and a heavy mist would get added into the downward blast of air, fogging the entire area and hiding his departure. Picking up Pong, he'd motion to keep silent and lead him away from the fallen Inuzuka.

As the Ninja vanished… she just called out into the mist "He betrayed us… don't think… he won't you too…" But as it was… that was the last she was going to get… and with that, she collapsed from pain finally overwhelming her…

Trying to move out of the way of the Ninja's attack, it only caused her to become unbalanced due to the sheer wind that was being blown towards her. "Gah!" was all she could get out before being zapped heavily by that damaging attack! One bad thing about having the senses of a dog, sometimes it can mess you up… because as the wind blew upwards towards her, she had to wince heavily as granules of dust particles got lodged up there and now she just had the smell of dirt in her nose heavily! Taking time to brush it out of her nose, she just growled at the Ninja. "Dirty trick… using my senses against me… I'd be impressed if I were not now determined to kick your ****!" She charged forward against the Ninja, the damage she'd taken before having knocked out some bit of sense she'd even have in this type of scenario going up against a vastly superior opponent… but regardless, she scooped up her Ninken and threw him at the Wind Style Ninja, the Dog curling up into a ball just as he was being thrown to add some damage into it. Then using the dog as a metaphorical scarf in the face, the Inuzuka girl began her rotation and followed her companion up with her own attack!

COMBAT: Hinori finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Pong's turn.
Pong just stays behind Inpa for now, watching as the fight suddenly starts. Wait, should he still be sticking around? Maybe he should head towards Iwa … He would, actually, if he knew how to get there himself. Despite a few trips this way before, he never actually got to the Hidden Stone because he always expected to head back. Usually it was an info exchange and then stay at a local (neutral-territory) inn…
Suddenly Hinori breaks his train of thought for favor of throwing a dog in Inpa's direction. Pong steps to the side a bit in case Inpa happens to dodge and leave Pong open for the taking… Staying near the fight seemed dangerous, though! So he starts shuffling even more backwards to try and at least hide.
COMBAT: Pong finishes his turn.

COMBAT: Inpa wins the roll.
Inpa steps back a step as the Inuzuka just got ****. Well.. that's fun. "Pong-san. Go. I'll catch up." As the dog is flung, so is a seal, the barrier shimmering to stop the dog short of getting to him. With Hinori blasting through with that rotation, Inpa would duck slightly and with another seal planted on the ground, skid off to the side, the lightning arcing behind him as he'd get out of the way. Left behind however, was more seals, one with 'Water' on it, unleashing a blur of needles at the approaching Hinori, forcing her away from Pong and Inpa and into where a second seal, 'Fire' was at, that flares in a rush of flame at the Inuzuka!

The incoming water needles quickly made short work of the Ninken, causing a huge whimper as he was attacked and felled. Seeing this, the Inuzuka girl quickly attempted to weave a hand sign to get herself out of danger… but too late, the incoming fire attack now dealing its damage to her. Coupled with the lightning from before, this was her last bit of strength, collapsing from the pain and crying out as she looked at her target and her quarry… gritting her teeth, she attempted… very shakily… to get up… but she clearly was in no state to fight anymore. Several burn marks adorning her body from both fire and electricity… this Inuzuka girl was done… but while it was absolutely clear that she would not be able to land any sort of blows whatsoever… even moreso from all the damage she's taken… it's clear that the difference in power here was just too big a gap to bridge… but all that having been said, she still stood up… heavily breathing… shaking vigorously… "I… I can… do this… all day…" And as she said this, she attempted to jump forward and spin once more… but she didn't have the strength to fully pull it off, instead spinning around a small bit and falling to the ground with a large 'thump' and groan… this fight was over…
COMBAT: Hinori finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Pong's turn.
Pong just chooses to turn tail and head in the direction they were going. He wasn't about to mess with the affairs of the shinobi, even if he was the root cause of it all. The man took shelter in a rocky overhang that seemed safe, while also permitting some view of the nearby trail that he expected Inpa to come along. Now it was just a waiting game, after all…. "Ugh… I'm either going to have to train up or figure out a new life…" he sighs to himself, head thumping back against the rock.
COMBAT: Pong finishes his turn.
COMBAT: It is now Inpa's turn.
Inpa watched the Inuzuka get caught by the trap and after an attempt to go after him.. goes down. Shaking his head, he'd walk over and plant a seal on her shoulder. "Stay down. You don't stand a chance." The seal would go off and that wind would plant her against the ground even harder, including her dog to keep them both in place, blasting the air down at them so they can't catch a scent for which way the shinobi went either. One last seal, 'water' is flipped into the air by Inpa and a heavy mist would get added into the downward blast of air, fogging the entire area and hiding his departure. Picking up Pong, he'd motion to keep silent and lead him away from the fallen Inuzuka.

As the Ninja vanished… she just called out into the mist "He betrayed us… don't think… he won't you too…" But as it was… that was the last she was going to get… and with that, she collapsed from pain finally overwhelming her…
