Pursuit of Tech: Queen and Dragon

It was a cool day.

Cool breezes flew in from the north, gracing the dark-skinned man's face as the boat traveled north. His rower, lighter than he in skin hue, continued using his oars to propel the small rowboat towards their destination, the Snow Country, above the Land of Lightning.

One may wonder why the one man stood alone on the boat, without company. Obviously a Kumogakure shinobi, his goal was clear. A mission to the Snow, to capture something. But why was it that only he was undertaking the task, whatever it was?

He belonged to the Yotsuki crop, a loyal, and noble clan bunch from the Hidden Cloud. He was perhaps the most famed of them all, under the codename, "K."

He was Head Ninja of Kumogakure, and indeed a skilled shinobi. The Electro Bringer, Raijin, among others were his monikers. Quite decorated this Yotsuki was, and powerful as well. The Raikage deemed his friend, this Yotsuki, could pursue this task alone. He had faith, that he could succeed.

K was determined to see this through. In pursuit of technology from the exotic make of Yukigakure craftsmen, the Yotsuki's job was simple. Obtain a device said to be locked in one of the vaults of the various Snow Country islands, and return to the Lightning. He hoped it would be easy, the Yukigakure weren't known for particularly strong shinobi.

But on the contrary, the Snow had hired someone else to defend the vault, a famed kunoichi lay ahead for the Dragon of Shēngxiào to face. However, he had yet to find that out, as he headed towards the central islands.

His rowboat docked, and the rower asked, "Are you sure you wished to be dropped off here?"

"Yes." Pulling his hood up, he stepped out onto the small island's snow. "I'll take it from here." The air sparked around him, burning the snow a bit as a light snow began to fall. It evaporated the snow before it even touched the man. "Thanks, you may return to where came."

With that, he took flight, release charge fields, magnetizing the air and snow, repelling himself from them into the air. He set his sights on his destination, a central island holding his goal. It would not hide from him for long. He was approaching at amazing pace.
