The woods were quite as usual. There was nothing out of the ordinary, which any other time would be normal but for the fact that this was not a normal day, one could take it as a mixed blessing. It meant that if something were to move or change, then it would be noticed. A man shifted through the brush to come out onto an open road that allowed him to stretch, his arms brought out in front of him and then let his fingers interlock within one another and then brought them up and over his head as he would let his chest push itself out as he took in a deep breath. He then released, both a breath and his posture as he moved one hand to the back of his head and the other just simple rested on his hip as he would look from one direction to the other. Of course, no one in sight. He then turned around and waved his hand toward himself and spoke to seemingly no one "It's okay, you should be safe enough to come out now. We we can go the rest of the way by road."

"How can you possibly move through this stuff?" She dropped a stick onto the ground and then turned her attention toward the silver haired man as he replied simple enough "It is something you get used too when it comes to the work and missions. You wouldn't possibly believe how much time I spend outside in the wilderness, I've actually learned quite a bit." The woman took in a deep breath and then looked to the corner of her eye as a few strands of hair had fallen out of place and she blew it out of her face "I pity you greatly sir Lee." To which Lee shook his head and laughed lightly.

As soon as the woman joined Lee at his side, another woman walked out from beyond the wood works on the other side, opposite of where they had come from. Though, this woman was well armed with a sword on her back, a forehead protector and several flasks at her hips. She had forearm protectors as well as some on her shins and the way she was looking, she wasn't here to play with them. Lee raised a hand up in a greeting "Hello the-" "Hush, I'm not here to talk. Move or die." She moved a hand back to take hold of her sword but before she could draw it. "Hold on, there isn't any need to fight here." "If you are a worthy enemy, then you will fight me and show me what you got!" But before she could attack, both Lee and the woman whom was with him splashed down

The woman just stood there and glared as she then looked down the road and then crouched down and shot off into the air. Lee walked with the woman as she continued to look back down the road and then back to Lee "Don't we need to worry about her catching up to us?" "I don't think we need to worry, she could have been anyone so there isn't any reason to think she knows who you even are." The village gate was starting to show before them but with that, the assassin too was there. The woman continued to look for Lee for answers but he simply kept walking and moved the woman ahead of him as they began to walk closer. "Just keep walking, run if you want just don't stop." and as if on cue, she ran for it, right passed the woman and into the village but Lee kept his attention on the assassin and she on him. Surely if the assassin were to try and attack the woman, Lee would put use the sword that rested on his back.

"Finally decided to show up?" Lee continues to walk with no change in his expression and continues this walk right past the woman. She turns her attention to him and snarls "Arn't you gonna fight?!" Lee continues to walk but replies "Go home, there isn't a reason to try and fight here." The woman clenches her fists tightly in anger from being ignored for the battle she was anticipating. She holds her hand out as water rises from a flask at her side and into her hand, she draws her hand back and then lashes it forward, the water taking the form of a whip and whips against the back of Lee's neck causing him to stop dead in his tracks as water droplets hit the ground from the woman's attack. Fine. You want to learn to fight so bad...study closely!"

Lee holds his arms out to his sides and from the two large pools, water rises from them and into the air and around him "Water release, water clone technique." From the swirling water, six water clones formed that took the form of Lee himself. The woman took a step back and reeled back her whip and then lashed it forward at Lee but one of the clones intercepted it and began to absorb the water into its body. The others rushing around the whip and then inward toward the woman who quickly released the whip and jumped back several times before launching herself up into a tree. She was about to speak some nonsense or possibly something intelligent, one would never be able to tell because before she could actually speak, Lee's voice spoke first from an unknown area. "You should have simply let things be girl." Silver hair faded into sight from behind the woman but what one would note more than that was the long blade that rose itself high in the air above him in his hands.

The woman lunched to the side and then landed on the ground, holding onto the area where her arm once was. Lee jumped down onto the ground and his sword hit the ground as well, cutting into its soil from its weight. She sneered once more but Lee slowly rose his sword from the ground as he would speak to her "I gave you fair warning. " Lee then imbued the entire blade with chakra, he then would raise the sword up in the air and slash downward in an arc, bringing it back up in in a slant, cutting across, back down in another arc and then finally back to its original point. After this, a flow of what seems to be liquid would follow in the same manner till a five pointed star appears in front of him and lines connect from each point to form a pentagon. Next, he drew his sword back and thrusts it into the center of the star and spoke "Glacier-Style Pentagon." which then launches the water pressure at the opponent in the shape of pentagonal dragon, the dragon taking on a mist-like form. The water then condensed as it's moving and be focused into a single direction, the dragon becoming thinner, more agile and able to chase down a fleeing enemy as she began to rush through the forest in hopes of getting away. Lee drew his sword to the side and then brought it over his shoulder and attached it back onto his back and as he did, there was an explosion.

Almost on cue, a few ninja appeared before the woman whom Lee had escorted and asked what had happened, Lee walked and pointing his thumb in the direction he was walking from "There is a woman, follow the trail of blood and you'll find her. If you hurry, she'll still be alive...I hope." He then began to walk away with his mission now complete.
