Without stopping, Axel ran as fast as he could away from the plaza. His breathing was heavy and the water he saw fall on his hands was deep red. ‘No, not again.’ He thought but did not stop running until after he crossed the gates. A shinobi spoke to him, but he did not hear nor pay attention, to him. [Exit to Storm Mountains]

-----{ T }he snow was thick, with winds blowing frigid air while others, whether civilian or shinobi fled to warmer locations to weather the brewing storm. Windows were shuttered, doors reinforced, and chimneys stoked for the moment to allow as much heat as possible into their small homes against the chill. Yet while they huddled and faught for warmth the small building where traders often holed up found its door being kicked in by someone who had to crouch pretty damned far to get into the god forsaken doorframe who could use another layer or three to keep warm. The giant wasn't unknown around here after his excursion that had brought a railroad to Kumogakure, and not a few lifted mugs in thanks to him as he stomped past. At the time the most he had done was protect them, and they him, as Wanryoku fought off and murdered Nakita to secure the trade route for the foreseeable future. The original conductors were, of course, no longer here, but that did not mean the men whom he needed were not in attendance. Looking to a pair of larger men, each bearing similar resemblances to what was surely their patriarchs, the Jounin lifted one hand and crooked a finger. "I need train for wood cuts. Come. I pay well."[Mission :: "Firewood" :: 1/4 → Incomplete]
-----Little else needed said, for in all honesty what was there to say besides the flash of cash? He needed it, for what he was to do. They owed him for the saving of their kin, and in the end would charge him not at all, but to say they were okay with the level of cold would be dead wrong. The engine fired up, steam wafting to the sides as the great metal engine squealed to life. A few minutes later and the only sound in the growing cold was the chugging of the engine.

Soraru approached the village gates in full sprint, wanting to complete the mission he'd been assigned as fast as possible. There weren't any people around the exit, except for the guards who had to be there. It seemed everyone was boarded up nice and tight for the harsh weather...urgh, it was even becoming a little difficult to run properly with all the snow piling up. The boy stopped, leaning forward a bit as he caught his breath...okay, so running out the village all the way to the mountains was probably out of question, but...wasn't there a railroad that was installed to the village recently? He could probably take a train over! With that thought, he decided to run over to what looked like dark smoke hovering over the left side of the gate...if there was a station, it would be there. His pace picked back up, and it didn't take him long at all to reach his destination. Of course though, things could never be so easy.
"Civilians cannot leave the village. Not only that, but you're just a bit too late. The train just left awhile ago. Sorry kid." He was greeted with immediately, and Soraru's hands immediately clenched into fists. That was just his luck. Still though...he had to get things done. The genin shifted his scabbard in his hand to show the ninja headband on the end of it, then took out the mission slip from his pocket. "I'm a Genin for the village. I have two missions that require me to enter the Storm Mountains. The herb shop needs supplies, and with all this snow, the village needs firewood as well, right? I don't need the train, I can head out without it." He said, remembering when the woman wrote down the other mission for him. Two missions was more likely to grant him permission to leave rather than one. Both required him to leave the village as well in order to supply it. The jounin before him closely examined the mission papers, before giving a grunt and nod, tilting his head towards the gate.
Soraru took that as his sign to go, and ran towards the humongous open gate, examining the mountains way off in the distance. It didn't seem like they were actually outside of Kumogakure, just on the outskirts. That was a relief. Still, running there would be hard with the snow...Just as he started to think of a plan, the weather rejected him and his wishes, the snow beginning to fall harder and faster. Strong breezes began to pick up, and things quickly stepped up from harsh snowfall to a full on, powerful blizzard. "Kuso..." He cursed, gritting his teeth as he started to take steps back from the gate. Both arms crossed over his chest, and he bent over in a natural pose which tried to center everything to the center to bundle up some warmth...but it looked like it was for naught.
It seemed like the job would have to wait until later. For the time being, he rose his hands and breathed into his palms, rubbing them together fiercely for a moment to try and generate even minor warmth. After that, he was off in full sprint again, headed to the only place he could think of that would still have its door opened at a time like this. Even his favorite inns and taverns were probably full and boarded up by now, so he'd have to go to a place that was a little less popular. Oh well.
He needed to get some more training done anyways.

The train was off thanks to Giant-senpai A.k.a Wan. Tosou was now presently sitting across from Axel who was most likely coddling the one known as Shu. It had been what for the most part could have been an awkward silence. Most likely with the two staring at each other. Toso expectantly waiting for something. Perhaps the adventures of father? Or where the lovely 'wife' was. Truthfully it would be believed Toso knew right well that there was a very slim possibility that Axel and Lilja were mates and that they produced the cub in his lap. Still, now it had become a game to play off his ignorant aura for the sake of sweet dubious fun. After all his friend Axel would be none the wiser seeing as Toso's face never revealed true intentions, ever, seeing as it was always a blank wide eyed expression or a friendly smile were the term 'friendly' is used loosely via the grounds of his mysterious iffy or aura. "So, Bloop what's his name?"
Finally the silence broken it was to be determined whether Wan was towing the Train aiding it on it's journey home consistently without entering the safety of the cart even once. It was a thing to be admired. That passion the one he called giant-senpai had. At least he believed he was older than him because he certainly looked the part. If Wan had cleared the way enough that his presence was now in the cart he'd have also been in the presence of the awkward air. Dangling on Toso's belt loop was something that would probably stand out to Axel. The necklace he had gifted him was strung in such a way that it appeared a form of wallet chain. The iron sand daggers were at his public 'residence' for safe keeping along with the hide gifted by the still mysterious Wanta Claus...Toso was still unable to put two and two together.
The Screeching of the Train showing signs of slowing implying nearing the gate resounded through the cart. Toso had hoped to receive an answer and some reaction out of Axel before the doors would slide open to signal their arrival. Afterall he didn't seem the type to harbor animals cub or otherwise. Now Giant-Sensei who was donning multiple pelts he could see but not Axel. Of course despite what friendship he had with Axel he still didn't know him all that well.

-----{ S }creeching wheels of steel against steel resounded within the ever growing snow storm, the sound reverberating from all directions. It nearly deafened Wanryoku as he dropped the spears of light, allowing them to fizzle out and vanish without a trace. Free of the burden of melting snow the giant reached for his chest and undid the nots there, causing him to stumble as his legs took the brunt of his weight once more. To say it hurt, that the pain within his legs and back were so great it was nearly numbing would have been a waste of time, despite being true, and thus he shoved it to the side. Rapping a fist hard against the steel side of the train he shouted above the oncoming snow. "Go! Wood safe here if need be! Go home, shutter in!" Eyes searched through the layer of white that seemed to obscure all, considering best where to put his efforts. Moving for the bar nearby the stone armor he had made fell from his skin to leave a patchwork of steps across the snowy embankment. Moving to the windows he touched their shutters, nodding in acceptance before turning back to the train. "Cold getting worse! Fine place to keep safe!"
-----Nodding his thanks to the brothers who hastily made their way past him into the bar he waited only long enough to ensure all of the genin got away from the gates before he, too, would make his way towards the Blue Dragon and safety.

"I am the sword in the Darkness...
Axel looked up to the sky and saw the snow falling. “Shu… Go find Hakanai. Make sure you’re both somewhere safe.” He turned to see everyone around him, Wan was gone before he could do or say anything to the giant, he would have to remember to thank him later. He turned to Toso and rose an eyebrow. “Shukenja. He’s Hakanai’s new partner I presume.” He spoke plainly, hoping to clear the waters between the two, and leave it clear that Shu was not his son in any way, shape or form, he wasn’t even sure that was at all possible. “Same goes for you, Toso. Go some place safe.” He said to the squid boy. As for Axel, he had nowhere to go. The young red head didn’t have a house to his name inside the village, he had denied the request when he first joined the academy thinking that his family had one, but to his great displeasure, he did not, so he would have to make due with whatever he found, which in this case, would be the office of the Raikage, that way, he could turn in his mission report.

Find Hakanai. Right. Where did he leave her again? Shu seemed a bit puzzled as he started to think. Let's see. He already thought of few places that Hakanai could be at. Then he heard it. His head turned around and the cub had a focused look on his face. What was that... it was high pitch. Many humans would not be able to hear it. And worse part? He cannot tell where it's coming from. If it was with the wind or against. No matter. It was getting cold even for the thick furred cub. He reared his head and bit onto Axel's leg, not hard enough for it to be pained but enough that Axel cannot be free as he ran off into the blizzard to find Hakanai.....
A crack of lightning resounded outside the Kumogakure gates, from which a man in heavy clothing landed, kneeling. The distance traversed in lightning form had been extensive and a dizzying venture, but upon his landing and a moment to regain himself, the ungodly frozen nature of the village washed over him. Reaching a gauntlet clad hand into his jacket pocket he removed a Konohagakure Headband and wrapped it around his left sleeve, to match the Hokage hat dangling out from under his jacket on the left side. Tightening the hood of his jacket he looked to the path where he had sat with Thanatos Hatake some years prior and first began his path into the Sennin.
Masahiro began to treck into the heavy snow, trying to get into a safe space from the whipping winds and sub-zero temperatures. Even the equipment he wore was not enough for this sustained cold. Sharingan eyes scanned the walls for doorways or other signs of chakra, anything to help him get out of this accursed cold.
"I am Masahiro Hatake, I simply seek asylum from the current cold and an audience with your Kage, on behalf of the Feline Sennin." The man called out as he came closer to the walls, keeping his hands and arms closer to his body, to keep himself warmer.
His only visible weapons were a trio of Katana and Tachi worn at his waist, barely poking out from underneath his coat in the rear.

ANBU were known for their ability to stay invisible, but as far as the gates appeared, they might as well have been all but abandoned. The utter cold of the air and wind would numb what little of Masahiro's skin was exposed to the element, and already began to creep through the thick layers of clothing. To put it mildly, the storm was unnatural.
After a moment, an ANBU shunshined in front of him. He wore the typical mask still, but it was barely seen past the massive amount of clothing the man wore. His voice came muffled through them, and he didn't stand still, trying to avoid letting the cold seep in. "Konohagakure has been at war with Kumo for quite some time." Should his face be visible, he would have eyed the Hokage closely. "Under normal circumstances, I would turn you away, but given our now neutral terms, and that I wouldn't wish this cold on anyone, you may pass. Under watch." Taking a step back, he was gone just as quickly as he came. A moment later, a thunderous crack resounded from the gates, ice breaking free in mass from its hinges as it creaked open. It opened barely enough for Masahiro to fit through before the buildup of snow stopped it.
The Hatake made a motion, as if to thank the ANBU, without revealing his face. His arm raised and he walked forward into the mist and kicked up powder as the gateway opened. Once it came to rest he passed through the slight opening, making his way deeper into the village. He would follow into the village, searching over the initial streets to see if he could pick up on any chakra signatures. Though as he made his way into the village he saw a young man being drug across the streets by a large beast of some kind, following the boy and the beast, he made his way towards the Academy and Dojo.

Toso was already long ahead of Axel. He had received the name of the child but unfortunately the Giant-senpai had been occupied with the escort of their vehicle.Toso fled into the confines of his 100% full proof snow shield strategy called an empty trash can. It was to Toso's benefit that such receptacles were roomy as he filled it with a decent number of wood. Enough to stoke a fire but nothing excessive to where the can would be immovable. Axel and the now named adolescent cub took off. As for Toso. He'd do the same he would despite the snow deliver the wood then make certain to arrive at the Raikage's office.~exit

Soraru was on a clean path through the village, both weapons drawn. The amount of death he spotted on the way over wasn't pretty, but it just provided the boy with more reason to not let everyone die in vain. That in return, at least some answers could be given to the mourning families. Nobody in Kumogakure would mourn for him. Nobody in the land of iron would know he died. For all he knew, they believed he was already passed on. Now Soraru was never one to completely stay within the tenants of Bushido or actively follow it as a religion or way of life. However, for this time, a need for honor was fueling his every move, wiping the thought of hunger from his mind, keeping him from straying into thoughts of how cold it actually was. These people needed recompense...and oh how Soraru's old mentor must be laughing in his grave now. emotion_bigvein
When he passed by a home, his sights on the gates were broken by a faint voice, calling for help. "Wha?" He briefly questioned, before noticing that inside the house beside him were crumbled remains of a ceiling rather than an actual interior. Looping around, he opened the door to find that there was a man on the older side with much of his body beneath a book shelf. Lucky for the man, the shelf was stopping much of the rubble from the ceiling from coming down on him completely, however the position of everything would definitely make it next to impossible to escape without pushing over what was keeping the shelf in its diagonal position, and it would come down. "Please, help me here...My arm is stuck, and I can't force my way out of this..." The man continued, in which Soraru just kind of gulped in response. "Umm...yeah. Okay, I've got you." He said, walking over to where he was and kind of scoping out the situation.
"I'm about to snap what's pinning your arm down, then I'm going to lift this book shelf up for as long as I can. I'm no Hercules, so start crawling out the moment your arm is free." Soraru told him, waiting for a nod of the elderly mans head before he went to work. Stepping over, he crouched a bit and got in position to lift the book shelf. When he snapped the bit of debris pinning the mans arm down with his foot, kicking it, the shelf shifted position and the weight of rubble began to come down. Thankfully the elderly man understood the situation and didn't take his time, crawling out rather quickly for a guy his age. The moment that Soraru saw his foot get out of range, he dropped the shelf, the debris falling down on top of it. "I'm sorry, young man. My place wasn't up to date for the weather, and...well, you can see how that went. I'll take myself somewhere safer than this, I have a friend who should be in a safe place. He'll take me in." The man said, to which Soraru responded with a smile and kind words. "You don't need to apologize to me, I'm just glad I got here in time. Stay safe, and if you see any strange mist, walk the opposite way immediately. Start a fire when you get back indoors with your friends. Best of luck to you, sir." The young Samurai said, turning and getting ready to leave before a hand on his shoulder stopped him. "No, wait...agh, one more thing." He said, making Hitaite blink a bit in surprise. The guys tone sounded like he just got done with some kind of internal debate, something he personally was very familiar with lately. "I want you to take this. It served me really well when I was a Shinobi, but retirement doesn't just happen for no reason, you know. When all this started happening, I thought I'd huddle up and protect myself, but...I should know well enough that this new generation is strong enough to be there for everyone. Take care of this for me." He said, and took out something that was on his back, unhooking it from the sash around his waist. A...saya? For a wakizashi? Soraru was openly surprised, but he wasn't so disrespectful that he'd just reject the offer. Taking it into his hands, he wrapped the snow white obi around his waist, tying it just above the one he already wore. "Thank you. I promise I'll take good care of it. Now, seriously, get somewhere safe. It's not getting any warmer." The boy said with a smile, giving a final wave and running back outside.

Continuing on, he reached the gate, stopping there for a moment, if only to wait for any Anbu or whoever to check up on him like they usually did. If so, he still had his missive for permission to leave the gate, although he more than expected an argument. He didn't care if he'd even have to sneak out after, nothing was going to stop him from getting answers.

Axel chased those things all the way to the gates. Who would have thought that ice monsters needed gates to leave the village? Not Axel, that was for sure. As the red head reached the gates he would see a man he saw at the dojo, he didn’t know his name, but he seemed to be waiting for someone. He turned to avoid being seen by the ice creatures and approached the boy from behind, setting a hand on his shoulder. “The fact you’re here waiting means you need permission to leave. You’re itching to go after those things, as am I. I want to get to the bottom of this mess, and I have a pretty good idea who is behind this. Now come with me.” Axel put a hand on his blade, should Soraru look down at it he would see it pulsing with blue veins running along the entirety of the weapon. The Chunin gave Soraru a mischievous smile before motioning at the gates with his head. “Looks like I get to be squad leader for once.” He removed his hand from the boy’s shoulder and walked toward the gates, not caring whether or not this man followed him. He had no idea how many of these things there were, or if he could fight them all at once, what he did know though, was that if he had followed them all the way here as he assumed the boy had done, he had to have at least fought one of them, for a man of his height, he was surprised that he couldn’t freely leave the village, he must not be very strong. With that in mind, Axel wondered if he really was worth bringing along.

Having a hand on his shoulder pulled Soraru out from thought. He turned to find the red head from earlier, at the dojo. So he was still alive. The kid must have been strong then. His words were spot on, and Soraru was intrigued when Axel said that he had a good idea of who was behind the whole thing. So he wasn't the only one thinking that there had to be some person behind the whole entire thing. "Well, you've caught my attention. Let's get going." He said, although the faint sight of something barely glowing, pulsing, was caught in his peripheral. Looking down, he noticed the veins along Axel's katana, something that gave Soraru an immediate thought. His weapon looks like an embodiment of those things, as if one is living inside it, dormant. Looks dangerous, but I can see the appeal of it.
With that, he got to walking with Axel, noting his words. "Squad, leader, huh? You're a Chunin? No wonder you're still up and about after being out so long. Either way, I'm just glad that someone else can't just sit around and let things be. Too many questions, and I owe those things some payback." He said, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking on. Looking off into the distance, he could see the mist trailing towards the storm mountains, the same spot he had meant to go to before the blizzard got so rough. Now what could be so important up there that they'd need to converge? If memory served correct, there was supposed to be a large gem deposit, but those things didn't seem like they were looking to go mining.
"They're heading up to the storm mountains. We won't have an environment to take cover in unless we blow a hole through the side of the mountain itself, so I hope you're ready to kick a**. And hey, I never gave you my name. I'm Soraru."

While looking for the injured, Shu found quite a bit. He also sent them to the hospital. They were all able to walk so far. Passed through the residential district, he picked up a familiar trail. Determined to find him to see if he was okay, he found himself to the gates. Shu stopped for a moment as he looked out of the gates as his massive head turned to look where the hospital was. Where his tamer was. She will be fine. With that, he heads out to find Axel. After all, he owes the man his life.
