Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Mission Prop]

A hooded figure sat silently behind a large rock a couple hundred yards away. Around his waist he wore a headband bearing the Iwagakure insignia. On his right eye, he wore a Range Finder. The man fiddled around with the knob on the side until he got a clear view of the girl leaning on the tree. He'd been told by the Tsuchikage himself that the cloak she wore with the design of an owl in a tree designated her as a member of the deadly organization Yoinokuchi. It was unknown to him why she decided to come to Otogakure. She didn't look like she would be related to Orochimaru. Supposedly his daughter led the group, her and two Uchiha Clan members.

He turned the knob on his Range Finder yet again to focus in on her face. The black, lustless eyes of the girl struck his interest. Only one kind of person had eyes like that; the Uchiha. She had to have been one of the leaders in question. He grabbed the large Tomahawk from its holder on his back and placed it on the ground, his hand atop the hilt. If he could stay quiet and out of sight, he might be able to follow her and figure out where they're hiding. This WAS the Yoinokuchi though, so he'd have to watch his steps very closely.

As the man stared on at the girl against the tree, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Why would an Uchiha, let alone a member of Yoinokuchi not notice someone sitting just a couple hundred yards away. He checked his Range Finder again, and noticed that she sat in a subtle manner against the tree's trunk...a little too subtle.

A bead of sweat ran down his face as he took quick glances back and fourth. He knew he'd been seen, and he knew he had to do something about it. The man placed his hand against the rock he hid behind and performed a short series of hand signs with his other hand. "Rock Clone Jutsu..." he muttered. The rock broke up into seven replicas of the man. They each took off in a different direction to find the Uchiha girl. Surely one of them would run into her. He on the other hand had picked up his Tomahawk and prepared his battle stance.

He kept a close eye on his clones, all the while scouting the area himself with the Range Finder. "If only this damn thing could find Chakra sources" he thought nochalantly.

Any good ninja would plan ahead in case their first plan failed. This crafty spy was no acception. While rapidly striking hand signs, he said aloud, "Earth Style, Mud Wall!" The earth around him rose and formed a protective shield as it quickly hardened. The kunai hit the shield and shattered it when they blew up. He looked over in the direction to see Saya, not surprised. She obviously had a lot more to bring to the table. "Should have expected this from a Yoinokuchi ninja. It'd been nice if the Tsuchikage told me this was a live or die mission. No way around it. Dark Swamp Jutsu!" after a quick couple gestures, the man slammed his hand against the ground and watched as every bit of it turned into a toxic swamp.

The Iwa spy swung his massive axe and was able to successfully hack through a few of the oncoming fireballs. However, some made it through, and blew him off balance and sent him skidding across the field. The man sprung up and readied his weapon again. As the girl continued to dart towards him, he swung the Tomahawk again after calculating where it would be after she had come within its range. If all went according to plan, this swing would crush every bone in her body.

The few shuriken that the spy didn't manage to slam away dug themselves into his legs and midsection. He quickly removed them and checked his Range Finder again. He focused in on the girl's face, only to see the red tint of the Sharingan glowing in them. This threw his whole battle plan into jeopardy. He would have to try to keep his distance if he had to rely on something other than her eyes for a "tell". "Earth Style, Stone Shuriken!" he said as he slammed his foot on the ground. The ground bounced up and broke into the form of multiple shuriken. He pointed at the girl and they all flew off at her position. He knew she wouldn't hold still and let them hit, so he kept his Tomahawk firmly in hand in case she tried to get closer.

"Child's play..." he muttered as he pulled a wide array of kunai from his flak jacket. He had two or three hanging from each finger, and he flung them all, each hitting a different shuriken. After the knives knocked the shuriken off course, he held out another kunai and placed his hand over it with the sheep hand sign. He threw the knife at Saya and as it flew, he performed his jutsu. "Kunai Bunshin no Jutsu!" The knife separated into three, and from those three, into nine. They all cut through the air at a speed where one would NEED a Sharingan to see them.

The man knew he could counter the fireball before it hit him, so he attempted to do just that. "Earth Style: Rock Shiel--" The man was cut short as a barrage of kunai came from behind the fireball and imbedded themselves in his chest and mid-section. His focus interupted, he couldn't finish his Jutsu, and the fireball made contact. It blew the man into the swamp and blew apart the island he stood on. As he delved deeper into the toxic water, a rock that used to be part of his island landed on him and pinned his arms to the bottom. He struggled and struggled to get free, but to no good. The toxins ate away at his body and suddenly, his vision went black.
