The weather was windy, the air current fluctuating madly. Takagamhara was always a pleasant sight in the day, Seid did not mind looking at the scene. But he wouldn't be able to enjoy it regularly. He was here on a mission that required the services of Kumogakure. Armed with his beautifully kept ninja armor, a flak jacket thrown over it. Showing that he was a newly ordained Chuunin of the army. A prestigious promotion he took seriously. Seid arrived at a small village near a little nearer than other villages. As he walked on the path into the village, his presence was noted and he was greeted immediately.

The village was very small, a community more like it. So when he arrived, he was instantly noticed by all those who were outside. His strange white and silver hair was of great attraction to the kids of the village. There was a trove of them walking by whom radiated to him, attempting to play with his hair. Darkseid was amused with the children, they were so small. Ignorant of the war brewing on the horizon. Which was the reason for his arrival in the first place. Arriving with goods to village hidden in the Clouds was not without its dangers.

That's why the contacted them directly to help bring goods to barter and trade. After a few minutes of being harassed by thre kids of the village. Seid looked up to see a large wagon and two people leading it. Two women, who seemed to be twins. They were amazingly beautiful, a trait he did not try to notice in humans. But here they were, taking his breath away. Walking up to the Chuunin the kids scattered in laughter as they were shooed off by the women. "Sorry about the kids. They find visitors very interesting. And you are...very interesting." One of the twins said eyeing him without shame. They seemed to be only a few years older than him.

Perhaps he should take Kens advice. And live a little.

Seid nodded toward her, producing an uncomfortable smile. Unusued to this type of affection, he wasn't ready to respond in kind. The woman noticed and began smiling back, registering his awkwardness. "Well whats your name?" She asked trying to break the ice.

Darkseid straightened up as she asked, he still had to maintain his professional decorum. "I am Darkseid." His title had been earned in his efforts for Kumogakure. It resembled that his pale nature by highlighting the opposite of himself. The twins eyebrows arched as they had heard of him before but did not touch on it. "Well I am Evina and this Tiala. We are the wonder twins, of this wonderful village. The villages first twins." Seid looked back to notice the crowd very proud of this fact.

"Well it is my honor to protect the very first twins of such a wonderful looking village." Seid complimented them and the villagers. Evina blushed and even Tiala smiled.

"You honor us with your protection. We are ready to leave whenever you want." Taila said to Seid.

"Follow me." The the large wagon had goods ranging from corn, to turnips, and a few other sorts of vegetables and fruits. All very profitable to the Cloud village. There wasn't much money to be had from trading from small village to village. Enough to make a living but not enough to make a killing. Trading such goods to the large metropolis of Kumogakure was vital to sustained success. Talia followed behind Seid, grabbing the reigns to the horse leading the wagon. She gave a scathing look to her twin, who looked abashed. Seid didn't mind, he hadn't gotten used to familiarity of flirting. In fact, he found it quite warming. The group began to head down the pathway. Unbeknownst to them, there was trouble on the horizon.

A few hundred kilometers down the very path Seid was using to take back to Kumogakure, were seven figures. They were rough individuals, dressed in leather armor, with an assortment of weapons on their persons. Bandits. They were a problem nowadays within the lightning country. Kumo had already done their best in exterminating them when they were called to do so. However these bandits were newly formed and were trying to make a name for themselves. No real leader because there was none intelligent enough to be the leader. But they were still deadly, as they had weapons, which could make any fool dangerous. They waited down the road, planning to do something heinous to whomever made their way into their trap.

"So as a ninja, do you have a girlfriend?" The trio were walking slowly down the road. They had gained quite a bit of distance in their travels already. Evina was sitting on top of the wagon with Seid walking beside them, having chosen to walk for better security reconnaissance. She had been hammering questions on Seid, to Tiala's displeasure, the entire trip. Seid pleasantly conversed with her, he found her amusing and nice besides her pressuring nature. But her latest question actually caught him off guard, he had never thought to take one. His relationship with the village had grown, but he felt it was moot. His destiny was elsewhere and it didn't occur to him to share something with someone.

The bandits had a good eye on their team, he was able to see that there was a company of people heading down the road. But clearly there was someone traveling with them. He seemed like a kid from first glance. But the headband around his head dismissed such thoughts from the mans mind. They were traveling with a Kumogakure ninja. Attacking them would be foolish as it would possibly result in all their deaths. "This aint the one guys. Ninja guardings these lads. Next one." They all nodded and moved their blockade elsewhere, effectively saving their own lives. Seid and the twins went about their way safely to the Kumogakure.
