Losing My Mind, Wasting My Time. (Open)

[Haku Hasan]

Day had begun to turn to night in the country of lotus. For Haku Hasan, it was simply a sign, that he could now leave, without his advisors being able to take note. To this day, the position of Hasukage was a position to which the title belonged to Haku Hasan. It was not to his choice that the title would ever leave him, yet with his death being expected by the hands of the Black Ops, or by the hands of the equally fierce ANBU Red, one was never to certain as to what would occur. It was with his advisors, that his death was at a constant expectation, being thought to come soon, if not right away. Such a lovely thought this was from Haku’s own friends, his most trusted allies.

As Haku jumped through the air, his eyes quickly maneuvered themselves throughout the ground, looking for a place to land on the outside of the village. As his eyes caught onto the boarder, he fell to the floor, landing but a few meters away from the outer wall of the Sun Village. He knew he only had mere moments to enter before he would be noticed, and for such reason, was forced to move quickly. Leaping onto the wall, he automatically turned his feet, forcing himself to slide down the side of the almost fifty feet wall.

As he hit the ground, landing on his feet as if he hadn’t moved, he came to a pause. After a minute of rest, Haku began to dash in the darker parts of the grass lands to which surrounded the village. In his mind, he knew that it was only a matter of time before someone noticed him, and for such a reason, wasted no time maneuvering himself as far away from the village as possible.

As he began to make find himself surrounded by a forest, he launched himself into the air, landing atop a branch. Now, he could rest, being for either one second, or for the entire night. The life as Hasukage; it was one that put a lot of stress onto the shoulders of Haku. It was with such a reason that the ninja found himself slowly escaping his life, into the wild life outside of the village, practically untouched by man.

It was late, the light was fading from the sky. Ami was about in the country of Lotus, looking for new recruits that would prove their worth to her and to Saigo Tochiba, her organization. This country was young and few were likely to know of her, so she did not disguise herself here. She was wanted in nearly all countries, with the exception, generally, of the lightning country. She, technically, was a wanted criminal there, but they did not track her in fear of death. Her headquarters lied there, in the country, and she came and went as she pleases.

Ami was wanted for hundreds of cases of Murder, and a one case of attempted murder on the one man that had gotten away. In truth, she hadn't even killed his teammates, but the deaths were put on her head with the bounty, so she accepted them as he own anyway. In many places she was known as the Black Widow, due to her behaviors. She would get what she wanted, typically from men, and then do away from them, but she was not simply out to get men, it was just that men were easier to fool than women are. they tend to fall for her seduction. This country was not likely to know her by that name, but the village itself would probably know such an alias.

Ami had found no one of note here, no new recruits, and was simply going to leave until something had caught her eye. It was plain to make out a figure with skill, heading towards the village borders. She decided to follow him, in hopes of having found a new recruit. She did not know who he was, but it was a potential recruit, and right now she could use a few of them. As the figure reached the gate, it leapt into the air, moving it's head back in forth. It was at once that Ami realized who it was, and a cynical smile crossed her face. It was the Hasukage, not one she had meat before, but a man who stood in the way of her goal. She kept back a good distance, but she would eventually be noticed by him anyway. Ami had decided to follow him a good distance outside of the village, that way she would have less difficulty that if the ANBU, or of his bodyguards, which weren't around, were to get involved.

(((Didn’t notice this response…sorry)))

Haku’s mind began to change, becoming calm and adrift along a cloud of memories, which he reviewed as being some of the most important things in history he had lived to see. As he began drifting through his memories, his eyes closed, helping him envision what he had seen. Had it really been four years since the death of the last Uzumaki? He would have loved to have been under a genjutsu, but it was not as simple as that; it had been four years, four long and harsh years.

As Haku drifted further into a self placed trance, his attachment to the world began to grow thin. And yet, he was still able to hear a sound, a sound soft, and nearly quite. Eyelids sprang open gently to catch mild glances of what he had heard. His body, already stressed out, began to tighten, and his mind began to return to him. And yet, all the sound had been was a mere squirrel, crawling through the bushes. But even though it had just been a squirrel, it was enough to reactivate the mind of Haku, and put him on the watch.

As his eyes glanced over his surroundings, a peaceful mind set began to take its place once more in the head of Haku. As his eyes finished glancing, he noticed a figure in the near distance. It was no beast this time, but a human. And as a human, it was a threat to Haku and the peace he worked so hard to achieve, the peace that could not be found in the daily life of Hasukage.

With this new threat in mind, Haku slowly generated a water clone, in a distance far enough away, that the man, stalking Haku like a beast, would have no clue to the summoning. As the clone slowly generated and made its way closer to the man, it became clear that all was not what it seemed to have been. It was no man, but rather a woman, one Haku had never seen before.

Ami paused, she had been noticed by him and she could easily see it. The Hasukage stood not 20 yards away from her, right before her eyes, and he made no movements. Ami smirked, the man had skill, he had noticed her, after all. Thinking for a moment, a thought entered her mind, drifting around a moment before vanishing away. It was only there for a moment, yet the reaction is started chained off into the farthest depths of her mind.

This man, the Hasukage, was a skilled ninja. Skilled ninja knew how to handle tough situations. Skilled ninja were never without planning, rarely without thought. This man was up to something as he stood there, watching her. Ami waited only a moment before she reacted.

Zinshin

She said it mentally, broadcasting it to all in the area, including the Hasukage. All things heard it but it wasn't likely that they knew where it came from. At that time a fast acting odorless chemical spread far through the forest, calling everything in it to her for a mile around. The Hasukage might have a plan, but she would one up him.

To provide a distraction for time, Ami formed a seal, using Mental Blast to knock over a tree, causing a distraction and using it as cover to escape into the shadows. Ami was formulating her plan, but it had been a long time since she had fought someone as strong as he is, but she would enjoy this. His death would be the brightest part of the current year.

Ami held a secret, one that this leader could not hold. He may be able to track her down, but she could combat his very mind itself. If she got into his mind, it would be difficult for him to resond. It would only be a short time before her plan came to fruition, but soon the animals would be here.

As the water clone watched from a distance, the true Haku waited, having the location of the enemy sent to him through the chakra network so widely spread out. And though this simply took a second, it was in that second that he heard something, a single word: Zinshin. The voice was one of a young woman, perhaps the very one that the clone was trying to inform him of. As the echoes began to drift out of Haku’s head, the echoes of that damned word, the chakra network began to reactivate. Though it was only a brief second, it was long enough for the woman, stalking him like a beast, to attack. But as the image finally passed through the chakra, into the head of Haku, it became clear that she would did no attempt to attack.

Then, a thought passed through his head
Perhaps she’s an assassin; but that can’t be, for she would’ve struck. Perhaps a spy; but if she was, then I would’ve noticed her before I left the village. Spy, Assassin, or simply ninja, she remains stalking me, for reasons I do not comprehend.

As he began to move, he began looking around as if he had not known her location, trying to fool her. But a foolish ninja could easily change the face of the fool to you, if you weren’t careful. As he began to near her, another transition came through the chakra network; there was something in the air, tampering with the chakra spread through the air. Suddenly, a tree, not fifteen feet from the ninja, fell to the ground, perhaps as an attempt to get his attention. Now, it was time for Haku to strike. As Haku quickly raised his chakra levels, his arms swung up into a defensive position. As the chakra grew to the highest level, Haku launched his arms forward, sending the chakra in the direction, in the form of water; this technique was the simple water shuriken.
