Kinetic Peace

Nee-san Tetsudashi had crossed into the harsh and unforgiving Sunagakure desert. The heat itself didn't bother him per se but he had always preferred Iwagakure's more temperate and cool climate. The Tsuchikage trekked into the area hopefully with Jinn following him. He had been silent the whole way as he had been thinking and plotting. The Kazekage's absence at the Summit, the sudden death of the Raikage at the Summit, the sudden appearance of a malevolent entity across the five villages shortly after their establishment. It was all too convenient somehow but who was he to reject the gifts of the universe? Iwagakure could not afford to be passive at a critical time like this and for the sake of his Work he needed to make a bold move. Nee-san stopped suddenly and turned to Jinn.

"The location of the Hidden Villages is a closely guarded secret. I can surmise that the general location of Sunagakure is most likely to be within this quadrant of the country but the only way to be sure is to search. I'll handle that. You stay here, I'll leave my summon to guard you in case a Suna shinobi comes along. Do not provoke them and they aren't likely to kill on sight."

Nee-san made a fist and dramatically slammed into the ground. A blast of smoke erupted from the surface of the sand. A six foot tall anthromorphic Lizard would appear next to them. The creature growled and bowed his head in reverence to his master.

"Makoto, I need you stay near Jinn. Protect him from any threats that might be in the area"

"It will be done my Lord"

The Tsuchikage turned in the general direction of where he figured the village might be and had Makoto initiate the Ultra-Added-Light-Weight Rock Technique. He felt his body lighten and then float in the air. He ascended at a leisurely pace at first but slowly began to pick up speed as his light body was propelled at a faster and faster rate. Once he had ascended to several hundred meters, in the air he'd split into two versions of himself using the Fission Technique. Nee-san 1 would go left whereas Nee-san 2 would go right.

Jinn would walk calmly behind the Kage. He had his hands in his pockets while he looked around him enjoying the view. Jinn never really cared about the weather. As long as he was alive, the village and his family was alright everything was alright for him.

When the kage suddenly stopped Jinn stopped also The kage turned around wondering why he stopped before Nee-San spoke to him "Okay." Was the reply coming out of Jinn's mouth to stay put there.

The Kage suddenly slammed his fist into the grand before a giant lizard appeared next to him. Well The lizard was just as big as Jinn though. Jinn looked towards the lizard while the kage left and was quiet for a couple of seconds before Jinn spoke"Makoto right?" Jinn asked the Lizard. "Can I pet you?" Jinn asked wondering. Jinn always liked reptiles. Well he liked most animals though

Makoto growled in response to Jinn's question and gave him a dirty look. If the genin was foolish enough to put his hands where it didn't belong he would regret it. Makoto crouched and remained still as he scanned the horizon waiting for any sign of trouble. They pair wouldn't have to wait long though as they would soon be joined by a duplicate of the Tsuchikage. Analyzing the situation, Nee-san 2 realized that finding the village would take far longer than he had anticipated. He had ran a few calculations and figured that he could pinpoint precisely where Sunagakure was hidden but unfortunately it appeared that its architects were far more creative than he originally surmised. It was a rare thing for him to overestimate his own knowledge but he was fallible and as such he had no choice but to temporarily abort the mission.

Nee-san 2 would fly down to where the group was and informed them of his decision.

"Sunagakure is well hidden and finding the village could take far longer than anticipated. We're heading back to Iwagakure"

Nee-san 2 followed by Nee-san 1 would then lead the group back to their Hidden Village.

Exit

Northeast Wind country -> Southeast Earth Country. 48 hours

Jinn raised his eyebrows a bit towards Makoto's response although he didn't really care about. He saw the kage coming back towards them. Jinn's jaw nearly dropped towards the ground at the kage's response

"What the fuck? You are a kage big chance you can make more than two clones. You got scouts under your command. You got a giant lizard and big chance he could summon some smaller lizards to help you search out. If it is a mission a kage would take big chance it is important and would be difficult. Although if our kage gives up that easily"

Jinn turned round from the kage and started walking the other direction

"at least if I die I do it during a mission"

Jinn said softly while he looked over his shoulder towards his kage.

[exit]

Jinn's babbling didn't effect Nee-san in the slightest. He didn't have the time or desire to remedy the lad's insubordination with his own hands and so he allowed Makoto to do it for him. And so he made no motion or movement to interrupt his plan of returning to Iwagakure. Halfway through his insolent rant the Lizard adjacent to him would try to smash its fist into his face at point blank range with the intention of knocking him out cold. The blow would be followed by another attempt and then another until he was fully unconscious. The Lizard would then drag Jinn all the way back to Iwagakure.

Makoto Exit w/ Jinn potentially knocked out
