~Pursuit~ {Hayabusa}{Bounty: Kaze Len}

The day had just begun. Hayabusa had spent the last two months doing the duties of a village leader and regaining the morale of his people. It had come time for him to begin to put things back in motion.
“Lord Hayabusa…” Eliot said, as he had entered the room. Hayabusa sat there on his throne, cloaked in his Gesshoku Akatsuki garb.
He had been followed by Ayane. Both of his ordained lieutenants in front of him. He smiled at her, and she returned the smile.
“Eliot… Ayane… you two have been most helpful to me these last few months. I hope that, with my being here, you both got a well-deserved break. The time has come for me to depart once more. While I am gone… I need the two of you to begin training your enforcers in your field…”
“Your siblings are already well adept to running the country.” Ayane noted.
“This is fine… now is the time to start plunging them into the public as ambassadors. And Eliot… Helena would be a great oracle. Begin training her as the eyes and ears of the organization.”
“Are we being replaced?” Eliot asked.
“Quite the opposite… we will be coming to the public as an organization soon. I want my lieutenants at my side to show our structure.”
“Very well…” he looked at Ayane and they both nodded.
“I will be back in about two weeks. Be prepared to go on a journey by then.” They nodded, and left the room. Hayabusa looked into his mask at the Shinobi Profile of Kaze Len.
“Let us begin our game…”

Hayabusa studies the man known as Kaze Len through the profile in his mask. As he stands at the edge of his country’s boundary, looking down on the desert below, the sun is high and harsh, but the breeze is elegant. Lifting his hands, a bit of the sand from the desert below begins to lift up and meet his step as he falls from the cliff.
“Oi!” said a deep bass of a voice which seemingly had come behind him. He was all too familiar with the feel, and the voice. He thought he could feel the presence earlier, but he didn’t think it was him…
“Shukaku…” Hayabusa returned, as the beast emerged from the sand, revealing only his head and an arm.
“You’re going after that previous Kazekage, aren’t you.”
“I am… do you know anything of him? My records are indicating…” he paused for a moment as his mask opened files of his last known locations. “Does the Roran Ruin mean anything to you?”
“It means little, but I do know where it is located.” Shukaku responds.
“Hmmm… would you like to tag along?” Hayabusa asked him.
“I am bored…” Shukaku says. “I would love to go on a mission, if your inner beast doesn’t mind…” he said, referring to the Five Tailed Beast within him.
‘You stink…’ said the telepathic deep voice in both of their heads. Shukaku growled in displeasure.
“Alright, you two…” Hayabusa said out loud. “Lead the way, my friend…” Hayabusa said to the One Tailed Beast. He outstretched his arm, as if to give a courteous gesture for him to lead the way. The beast then sank into the sand, before shooting out the side of the cliff into the sand below, diving into it as if he were a fish out of water diving into another pond. Shukaku took on the piloting of Hayabusa’s Sand Cloud, rather than Hayabusa needing to expend his own chakra to control it. It seemed to be natural for Hayabusa to take the co-pilot position in this instance as the journey through the desert of the Wind County.
After maybe half an our or so, they come up on a mildly occupied place. Hayabusa felt the tug of Shukaku stop, and immediately took over as the pilot of his own sand cloud. Shukaku came from underground, as Hayabusa lowered himself to the beast’s level.
“Is this the place?” he asked Shukaku.
“Obviously. I typically need no pit stops.” He responded. Hayabusa rolled his eyes. He then closed his eyes, as he opened them to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan. He tried to read on all the chakra signals that were in the vicinity.
“It seems as though there is some kind of barrier… I’m unsure if it is meant to discreetly hide this place, or if it’s some sort of sensory barrier.” Hayabusa said.
“Maybe it’s both…”
“Maybe…” Hayabusa bit his finger, before he once again closed his eyes, opening them to reveal the rippled glow of his Rinnegan eyes…

Clue 3:
+ The strange barrier that seems to block the way of completing the task. As you try to make it through it all it seems a sand storm is coming about. There within the area two figures will be waiting, speaking with one another about some sort of ordeal that made with a man. The man seemed to be linked to the previous Kazekage, but how so each man would smile as one takes money and hands over some form of documents to the other. Should you enter the barrier one will be able to detect you and question if you go after the other man with the document you may find another clue or a trap waiting for you.

Hayabusa monitored the scenery below. He looked at the beast that had been lurking in the sand below him. It was not long before Hayabusa had begun to hear a ringing within his own mind.
‘Hayabusa…’ the voice clearly said. The soft voice was so angelic. It was very familiar.
‘Kokoro, my love… is everything ok?’ he asked.
‘Yes. Everything is well. I was thinking about moving on from this point and heading to meet the other Phoenix. I’ve never got to meet Asura. And I need to do a bit more training.’ Hayabusa looked at Shukaku. He then bit his finger, and slammed his hand to the ground. Before him stood his first Outer Path, his blood brother, Uchiha Shizou. Hayabusa then sped off, running towards River Country.
As if nothing happened, Hayabusa’s Shizou continued to survey the land. One of the men seemed to have broken off.
“I think we’re going to follow this guy… and try to stay clear of the barrier.”
“Ah… the boring method…” Shukaku responds to the new voice, not mentioning the switch that just took place as if it were obvious what just took place.
HayaShizou continues to quietly follow the man, before revealing himself.
“Hello there, friend…” he says, as he stares down the man with his Rinnegan eyes. “Kaze Len… I need information on him… and you’re going to give it, yea?”

‘Erm… Hayabusa…’ Shukaku said in the distance using his telepathy.
‘Hold on…’
“Kaze Len…” HayaShizou repeated to the man before him.
The man looks on at the Rinnegan eyed man in front of him. Somewhat scared and hesitant at the sight of this glowing Doujutsu, the man holds his breath for just a little bit of time.
‘Hayabusa!’ Shukaku once again persisted.
‘You’re crowding my head right now, Shukaku…’
The look of terror for a moment frozen, turned into a bit of relief. HayaShizou could feel the presence of multiple other shinobi. Within ten seconds, he seemed to have been surrounded by the allies of the man. He had some really good escorts, because Hayabusa couldn’t sense them at all.
“Hmph… body guard detail, huh? Smart.”
“Yea… now you’re in for it buddy!”
‘Told you, dumb ass!’ Shukaku yelled in his head. HayaShizou rolled his glowing Rinnegan eyes as he looked around.
‘How many…’ he responded.
‘30’
’30!?! I suppose this is what I should expect from a previous Kage who would still have followers.’
‘Do you need my help?’ Shukaku asked.
‘Not yet… just make sure nobody gets away, especially the one in front of me.’ HayaShizou crouched low. The first lines of Shinobi found themselves closing in on HayaShizou.

Elsewhere, moments after Hayabusa had found himself in River Country and finding a secluded area to place a Crystal Chakra Emitter, Hayabusa jumped to Konoha, to the Uchiha complex. He looked around, before he bit his finger and slammed his hand to the ground, summoning the 3 figures cloaked in Gesshoku Akatsuki garb. Kokoro, Fugaku, and Shizou.
“Father.” Shizou stated, as he was the first to step up to him and embrace him in a hug. Hayabusa hugged back.
“Are you well, my son?”
“Yes… I’ve been training with grandfather.”
“And how eventful is that?” Hayabusa asked as he looked back up at Fugaku and nodded, still trying to get over the awkward tension between him and his absent father. He looked back down.
“The training is easy… but going through puberty AGAIN is a bitch.”
“Well, at least you know what to expect…” Hayabusa said, he looked up at Kokoro and smiled. She blushed right back.
“My love…” he said as he embraced her with a kiss.
“Hi love… Look it!” she exclaimed. She pulled a big bulky object from her back, wrapped in paper mache.
“What is it…” Hayabusa asked her.
“Wait for it… he’s still eating…” she said. This confused him. Then the paper began to flatten, before dissolving into nothing, revealing the blue corrugated texture of the Seven Swordsman Blade. It wriggled as it yearned for constant chakra.
“Wow… is that…” then he saw the headband from Kiri. “Are you now…”
“Yup! This is the Samehada! He’s constantly eating my chakra. I’ll have to give him a massive feed soon. I’m now one of the Seven Swordsmen!” she said, cheerfully.
“Wow… that is great! Just be careful with that thing.”
“Of course… well… I was hoping you could send me to Asura. I want to do some missions, and some training, travel the real world a bit before the end…” there was a long silence for all. Hayabusa pulled out a jutsu scroll and sealed his Hiraishin technique within it.
“Here you go… you have fun.”
“I will…” she left Hayabusa with a kiss, then looked at the other two. Shizou gave him a hug, then the three of them disappeared from sight. While Hayabusa remained, he looked around, figuring he’d check on Heise…
After leaving himself in the mystery of what might’ve happened, it had been at the point where HayaShizou had already begun to battle.
HayaShizou crouched low, as the aura around him began to turn purpleish blue, as the aura of the Five Tailed beast engulfed him. A group attacked him simultaneously from all around. It had been perfect timing, as Hayabusa used Hiraishin No Jutsu to jump to HayaShizou’s body, and they were now back to back. He shot his hands out, and pushed back with a gravitational force, tapping into his Six Paths power a little deeper.
The six people who tried to attack him had been laying flat on their backs. There has been a long pausing moment in which they looked at the site of the powerful being(s) in front of them.
“What are you?” the main informant asked.
“I am just a man…” the two bodies said in unison. HayaShizou crouched low before springing up in the air. As people looked high with HayaShizou being airborne, Hayabusa waved his arms, and the sand from his gourd found itself coming out and clumping together with such a density that, when it shot, it shredded right through the bodies of the men on the front lines. That had been about 5 people in which were taken out immediately due to this attack. The five that seemingly were behind them dodged the spear and began to advance towards Hayabusa. But Hayabusa shifted his hand, bringing it into a chamber at his side, hitting at three more on the way back, as the outer circle had began to shoot jutsu and weapons at him. The spears stopped short of his body and, flattening, but not losing, the density. The spears connects, creating a sphere around him, stopping all of the jutsu and projectiles from hitting him. The sand then drops to the ground, as finally, HayaShizou comes down outside the circle, shooting his aura forward to grab two of the men in the back row. And smashed them together, knocking them out cold. He threw these two to the side, as they may have proven useful later. He turned to see three shooting different elemental jutsu at him. Without so much as a blink, the elemental jutsu stopped and shot right back at the users, taking them all out immediately as well.
He looked down at their headbands… these were Sand nin, so it hurt him to have to do this. But then, some of them had missing-nin bands, and others did not. The ones without must still be defecting and feeding Kaze Len information, or working within the shadows. HayaShizou took note, as he counted that 8 of them had no head bands. One of them had already been killed, but he had knocked out three. He now took it upon himself to get the remaining four and simply knock them out. However, all the shinobi from the outer circle turned to face him. Hayabusa took out four kunai, attaching puppet strings to them and throwing them ahead at the four without missing nin status. He hit them in the shoulders, as they had turned his back towards him, and engulfed them in chakra, pulling their bodies into the air. HayaShizou then continued the attack, slaughtering all the rest. Hayabusa turned to look at the informant. He had took off running. He was just about to exclaim ‘Shukaku!’ before he felt the ground shake, and the beast came from the underground. She beast stopped the man in his tracks, as he grasped him up. Hayabusa smirked, as HayaShizou finished the group. The aura of the five tails receded, as he lifted his hands and grabbed all the knocked out members in sand and held them hostage.
“Bury these ones will you?” Hayabusa asked Shukaku. Shukaku looked at the men all over the floor, and he created a pit of quick sand all around, swallowing them whole, Hayabusa hovered using a sand cloud. He went up to the man held by Shukaku. “The document please….” Hayabusa said. The man handed it over immediately. Hayabusa took it and looked at it. He looked at Shukaku and nodded. Shukaku threw him to the side, very far. Whether he would live or not depended on where he landed. The two/three of them with the seven prisoners immediately headed off to the Sand Village to turn in the defectors, as well as all the clues that they have towards locating Kaze Len. Hayabua was prepared to go toe to toe with the past Kazekage; and win…
