The Journey

"Mitsori," Kal whispered into the mic. "Can you see anymore guards from where you are?" He needed to know just how many people he was dealing with.

Kal nodded and waited for the guard to move out of sight before darting in to the first line of tents. He looked aroun the corner to see more bandits, sitting around a fire. "Mitsori, I don't think the bandits I have been seeing have the level of skill to kidnap the child. I think their being lead by a shinobi."

"I can let them kill a child like that." Said Kal. "I made a promise to that old man and I'm going to keep it." He said he formed a hand seal and Whispered, "Henge" His image changed as he transformed into a bandit that he saw sleeping in a tent. Now disguised he stepped out into the open and aproachd the group near the fire.

"Mitsori!!!" Kal suddenly stopped turned to look back they way he had come, He didn't care about the Bandits anymore. He released the henge and appeared before them as he was. "There he is guys, get him!!" Yelled someone and the Bandits converged on him. "I don't have time for this shit." Said Kal was he rushed forward avoiding them for the most part. One man tried to cut him off but fell to the ground screaming as a Crack like a whip filled the air and his leg was cut off by something that moved to fast to be seen. The other bandits kept their distance after that, not sure with what they were dealing with. Kal rushed out of the camp, followed by them.

Kal didn't want to deal with the bandits along with what ever he was facing ahead. He slid to a stop and formed a seal "Doton." He punched into the ground and before him a wall of earth rose up, the ground shaking slightly as he did so. about 20 ft tall and extending an unknown distance to the left in right the bandits wouldn't be able to pass without going around. Kal turned back around came upon the woman and Mitsori. "Let her go now." He said, his voice had a icy hard edge to it.

Kal face was blank and calm as he slowly started walking toward the two. "You will let her go now." He repeated and the earth trembled slightly.

"Hae." There was a loud thunk and a hole appeared in the trunk beside the Womans head, a stone falling to the ground on the other side. It had passed so close that her hair moved slightly. "What did you do to her?" he demanded.

"I swore I would never use that power, I will beat you with my own strength, my own power. I will Protect her with my last breath, I will destroy anyone who threatens her." His image winked out and he vanished. The edge of a red katana rested on the back of the womans neck. "...because she's all I have."

Kal watched and didn't so much as flinch, Instead of all things he Laughed. "Next time you try to capture a Jinchūriki, I suggest you do some research first." Kal closed his eyes and formed a single seal. "Hantajoukei." He said and his eye lids glowed slightly before he opened them and the genjutsu shattered like glass. His stone gray eyes glared at the Woman with an frightening intensity. "Now it's my turn." he said and he lowered his hand until the tip of his sword touched the ground.

Kal's sword wavered and changed shape, revealing that it was in fact a red clay. The Clay moved up his sleeve and disappeared as he began forming hand seals. "Chikadou no Jutsu" (Subterranean Tunnel Technique) Kal began to sink into the ground and vanished, not a sound was heard until suddenly the earth under the woman and Mitsori was suddenly destroyed, form a black pit.

The Mitsori fell into the blackness but seconds later Kal came shooting back up out of the whole and landed on the other side from the women, Mitsori in his arms. He turned to face the woman and smiled. "I'm amazed such a low level attack worked on you." He gently set Mitsori down, leaning her against a tree, before turning back to the woman. "But now that she's no longer held by you I don't have to hold back!" His chakra level exploded as he began unleashing some of his power, the ground under his feet cracked slightly. He raised a single hand at the woman and a single stone rose from the ground and floated before his palm. "Hae" with the speed of a bullet the stone shot out at her.

Kal's katana reformed and he formed a seal the space around Mitsori was now protected from anything trying to reach her. His bladed gleamed as it hardened. Kal's Clay was unique to him and he could form endless shapes with it and harden it till it was stronger then steel. He closed his eyes and activated his bloodline, the tokita bloodline had two parts, it stopped almost any activated genjutsu and if let them fight with their eyes closed, by seeing the chakra of anyone on the area, their by seeing them if they him. If the woman was any where close by Kal would see her.
