Seek and you shall Find

The two ninja had raced with an uneventful journey through the Land of Grass and finally to the Land of Fire. They had stopped by Kusagakure so that Raijin could show Nozomi where it was. He had been covering quite the distance around the world lately. He now knew the location of all major nations, except the Leaf village.

The Land of Fire was beautiful. There was something majestic about the vast land and scenery. He would have plenty of time to see it as he searched for Konoha. In a wooded area hidden from view, he would make his short departure from Nozomi till he found their destination. "I will return as soon as I find it." He said to Nozomi. Activating his Cursed One transformation. His body turned a scaly grey, and wings sprouted from his back. They began to flap and was more in the air, where he felt strangely more comfortable.

[Searching for Konoha]

Nozomi nodded as Raijin headed off. She made 3 shadow clones and sent them off in different directions to help further map the nation out, and sat down to meditate for a while. Being a perfect sage required tons of experience with meditation, and while she was capped out on her Senjutsu chakra, she wasn't exactly perfectly versed in wielding it, so she needed to work on her control of chakra.

Isobu and Nozomi chatted a little bit internally to pass the time, while she focused on her control of nature chakra.

Unfortunately, Nozomi wasn't really the most talkative of people at the best of times, and her attention was elsewhere, so she wasn't the most pleasant company for the beast, but she was all that he really had. Luckily, he wasn't really ever bored with her, considering she found interesting situations almost constantly. There was always something fun going on around her to keep him entertained.

The conversation was superficial, but since it wasn't super hostile on either part, they enjoyed each other's presence. It was nice since they weren't enemies and cooperated now. Nozomi was able to let her guard down a bit around him, which let her focus a bit more on Nature Control.

-Assisting with Search

It took a little longer than Raijin had anticipated. But with the combined fine tooth combing between himself and Nozomi. They were able to find Konohagakure. Meeting back up with Nozomi it was time for them to lead the assault.

"Time for our revenge statement." He would say to Nozomi, then he would hold a seal to his chest. Creating a Sage Clone that puffed itself into existence. "Once we get everything. I'll return to Suna for safekeeping.

[Exit]

Nozomi and Raijin had spent the time to find Konoha, and the assault had gone by with a small infiltration from Raijin. Nozomi had stayed behind for the moment, and Raijin had managed to get in and out without triggering any alarms, so Nozomi decided that for now, the assault could wait. If they had successfully taken the exclusives, it was time to learn them and arm up on knowledge, so that when the assault did happen, they would be completely prepared.

Nozomi's cockiness and arrogant belief in her own abilities had gotten the best of her before, and she wanted to be completely sure that she was ready for the next fight with Akihiro.

The 3 Tailed Jinchuuriki turned back and headed to Sunagakure, travelling along at fast speeds to get there while travelling. Nozomi honestly didn't care about the money that much, beyond outfitting the Society. For now though, it was time to travel, get on with training, and oufit their troops.

Luckily, nobody knew that the Society was in charge of Sunagakure yet, which played well into some secrecy. She kept an eye out for people trying to follow her, but honestly, nobody was really going to be able to follow her own speeds. There were times that Nozomi would slow down to limit her tracks, stealthing herself so that she wasn't easily traceable, and then send off a shadow clone (after forming the hand seals for it of course) to form a false trail for a kilometer but the likelihood of someone bothering in the first place to follow wasn't super likely.

Nobody had yet, and that was a big indicator that nobody would.
