A Passing Cloud

The sandy deserts that surround Sunagakure were calm. Such days are few and far between as the deserts are known for their sandstorms that have engulfed many travelers trying to make their way to the village. The sun was just starting to rise as it touched the morning sky. Within the desert stood a lone shinobi. He has earned a reputation of being feared by those who have fought him, those who survived calling him the "Wraith of Kumogakure. He was looking for a certain individual, but not just anyone; he was looking for a puppet master known by the name of Akagi. Though he hasn't been to Kumogakure in quite some time, the shinobi figured the puppets would be a nice addition for the village when he makes his return to the Land of Lightning.

"Haven't seen the deserts this calm in years. Kind of tranquil." The shinobi, named Kisui Iyoku spoke to himself. Most of the time the sandstorms of the deserts hindered his travels to Sunagakure, but the deserts were relatively calm. "Be that as it may, be on your guard, Kisui. These deserts hide many secrets, most of them people have died for." The voice came from a spirit that has resided within Kisui alongside his normal soul. The spirit is of an ancient shinobi who existed during the time of the First and Second Hokage, brothers Hashirama and Tobirama Senju. As Kisui walked through the deserts, he kept a tight grip on his wits, being careful to look around his surroundings to make sure nothing ambushes him. If he wanted to find Agaki, he needed to do so without having to use up any unnecessary energy.
