Around forty minutes passed in near silence between the two Shinobi leaving Kirigakure. Apart for a bit of angelic humming from Tsubaki she noises at a minimum. She was absorbed in the atmospheric landscape that was the Land of Water's wilderness. It was mid winter, which mean fog and brisk air. Despite this she was rather cozy in her layers of Kirigakure-tailored clothing. Even then if she was down to her birthday suit the air would not bother her. She loved the cold and moisture.
From her feet Tsubaki wore a pair of thick rubber and leather combat boots. Embedded in the soles of the boots were iron plates to protect the feet from caltrops and the toes protected by a shell of iron as well doubling as a means to increase kicking power. She wore a pair of black pants which were modified like her boots by having bands of steel woven into them along her shin providing greater protection. These pants also provided a thick plastic-rubber compound at the knees and parts of the thigh and hips granting maximum comfort when crawling and moving about difficult terrain. White bandage wrap secured a navy blue holster against her right thigh containing a single kunai for quick draw purposes. Around her waist she wore a heavy utility belt holding the bulk of her gear. Two navy blue holsters were together on her right side together containing shuriken.
Around her back side she carried her hip pouch which was suspended above her right buttock containing the rest of her ninja gear. The left of that in a slightly canted fashion was a full length Chokuto in a navy blue scabbard. It was not lacquered or polished being bought from the local smith being a functional tool rather than a pretty one. Over her body she wore a light mesh shirt which was covered by a heavy, thick long sleeve top which served as the Kirigakure specialist combat armor. It was an insulated jacket which compound material which served as electricity insulated much like the rest of the advertised gear. Rings of steel where sown into the fabric from the lower rib cage up to the chest and to her upper arm. This provided additional support while still being lightweight to the most vital areas of her body. Of course this aided the main portion of her body armor which was a standard, slate gray flak jacket over her torso provided heavy support from blunt impact and cuts. This model was the common kind with elongated shoulder pads and extensions from either side protecting her lower abdomen and back even more. Across her chest was a brown leather baldric which carried two folded fuuma shuriken held by their rings store mid back.
On both hands she wore a set of black gloves which had a pair of steel plates on the backs of them for maximum protection. Topping off the design Tsubaki wore a heavy black cloak over everything concealing more of what was described fastened securely around her neck by a knot. The hood was down to show off her elegant features and provide maximum visibility. Tsubaki stood 5'6 and weighed approximately one-hundred and forty pounds being at her peak performance. Her skin was very fair to the point of being almost pale. This was coupled by her long, silky white hair extending to her lower back and sapphire blue eyes which anybody within Kirigakure that had knowledge of her clan would know she was certainly Kaguya, and the leader nonetheless. She wore no makeup, yet her natural complexion made her remarkably beautiful.
It was early afternoon and the skies were still overcast. Their trail would lead them both to the sounds of crashing waves, seagulls, and the distant civilization. Ota was a small port town where many trades were processed. Despite the somewhat urgent perspective of a busy dock, Ota was rather laid back. Gales of sea wind occasionally flicked her silky hair in the air which fell back down her back almost perfectly each time. She'd reach back into her hip pouch to pull the scroll closest to her buttock. Opening it she scanned her eyes over the details once more memorizing it to the best of her ability before handing it Kyoji. "We will be working on a ship called 'Yamato.' We were contracted by Silvery Shark to unload the cargo within five hours. This means~" She said trailing off counting on her fingers doing a short spit of mental math before picking up where she left off. "We have to move thirty crates an hour to meet our goal. They should tell us where to stockpile them. Fortunately not too far from the ship."
The couple would break through the jungle to see Ota in full light. Only four ships were docked which happened to be their luck. The end of the month generally attracted all of the trade ships inbound and outbound. Silvery Shark were certainly an experienced trade company and planned their departure ahead. They arrived and were ready to be unloaded by the time most other companies were just beginning to leave. This meant less traffic and more room for them to work with.
