Dray sat on the tree. A solid tree, full of branches, blossoming with flowers, abundant in fruits and strong in body. The evening breeze was calm. Dray had just on his long jacket on, no inner black long sleeves were worn, along with his shinobi pants, black sandals and of course samehada. Not forgetting his kumogakure no sato headband. The morning had been warm, the afternoon brought with it, a scorching heat and finally, the evening took over as it ushered in an atmosphere of peace. Dray bathed in the wind, thinking of paradise. A paradise where he was god. A dream that he could make come true if he wanted to but perhaps, he should stick more to he village for the time being.
In the morning, dray had gone to the raikage's office, answering her call. She explained that rumors were heard of a bandit group setting up camp very close to kumogakure. Dray asked if he should eliminate the threat immediately but the raikage disagreed. "Let the prey dare walk into the lion's den".. She said... For them to be as bold enough to set camp at the foot steps of kumo, they were definetly brave enough to attempt to enter into the village hidden in the clouds. She assigned dray to this mission due to his sensory skills in the village. He had become one with the village, thus recognizing every chakra nature that dwelled in the village as he had come across them one time or the other. Dray left her office and went straight to the anbu base. The anbu leader was not around so he was partially taking charge. He called together the anbu and briefed them on the mission. They were to keep watch and most especially, secure the village gates. A few excellent jounins were notified of this information since it was only still a rumour. It had not been confirmed yet.
All afternoon, dray worked in the shadows, synchronizing with his anbu members. All together, no evil would escape their eyes. Under the unusual atmosphere, sweat fell off dray's face. Not because the atmosphere was unbearable. If it was unbearable, then civilians would have died because of it but he was sweating due to the effort he inputed in making sure that kumogakure no sato and it's beautiful citizens were safe. The raikage had trusted him with a duty, he had to execute it perfectly and without blemishes. She had placed the faith of the village hidden in clouds on his shoulder, he had to uphold that glory. Perhaps, one of these bandits was already in the village and he knew what the village was planning but for him to be aware, he would have to be highly skilled as the anbus of kumo were no joke. They were the shadows themselves. Shadows that created shadows to work in shadows. Perhaps, dray should loosen up a bit and allow this bandit to surface.
With a single hand seal, the anbus would fall back and re position themselves as dray would slow down in his steps and head home. He had gotten home to relieve himself of some basic projectiles and pulling off his inner wear as black materials seemed to absorb heat than any other thus why he was resting in a tree now.
A tall tree that gave him quite a vast and beautiful view of the village.
To a normal by passer, it would appear as if dray was just chilling in a tree but knowing to him alone, his sensors were doing most of the work. The tree was located in such a way that dray's sensors could go as far as hundred metres in all directions though he was not exactly in the centre of the village. That would be a completely weird thing to do and it would call for an unwanted attention. Dray sensors acted as seives. Combing through every chakra signatures within range. Just then, it was spotted. Dray had found him. Samehada flicked it's tongue in it's bandage. Dray sprang from the tree as he landed right leg first on a building. Jumping from building to building, running along walls, using the academy tree climbing practice. He ran with grace. His bare chest slapped against the wind that collided with him. His blue high collared sleeveless jacket flowed with the rythm of the wind. Still running, dray spotted him. The fella seemed to have noticed dray but he was at a disadvantage here. There was no corner to run into, no crowds to blend with. It and an open space and a bright night due to the light of the moon.. It was just him and dray. "You would curse this day".. Dray would say softly...
Dray removed samehada from his back and four shurikens from his ninja pouch. He launched all three into the air with his flawless bukijutsu precision. The shurikens hit bull's eyes. The first one hit his right arm. The second, sticking itself in his left rib. The third shuriken did well to knock on the door of his tigh, thereby slowing his movements for the last shuriken to finally throw him off balance but slicing deeply into his right ear.
With his organ of balance almost cut off, the ninja staggered as he almost fell to the side but with dray running towards on the right side, samehada had been unbandaged. It's ferocious mouth wide opened and it's shark teeth shinning in the moon light. Pressing his right leg deep into the wall, dray would leap to the left toward the falling ninja as he would catch him just below he fell with his neck in samehada's mouth.
In no time, the ninja was drained of his chakra and only had little to talk as he confessed his gang's actions to dray before becoming unconscious. Perhaps, it was not a good thing for him to wake up to see the raikage. Dray would just make his dead quick and pain less as he would withdraw a kunai and stab him straight in the heart. "Peace". Dray would say and leave with his body to the raikage's office.
