__________ POV Narration__________ "Wasn't your scout supposed to be around these parts Ken?" The Raikage asked as he looked around the barren base of the mountain range. "Indeed... He said he'd be waiting nearby..." Ken took a deep breath and allowed his senses to stretch out all around him, focusing on every movement he could feel. Every bird, every critter and every animal nearby. He could feel them, he could feel the vibrations within the earth, yet he could feel no trace of his subordinate. '...…-

___________ POV Narration ___________ Ken decided to take his time as he walked through the village unsupervised for the first time. He was still headed for the gate, he just decided to make the others wait a bit for him, as the Raikage did start the mission suddenly. The Blind Swordsman took a few moments to admire the brickwork in that village, it was built on a mountain range, reaching all the way up to the clouds. It was actually a rather impressive structure overall, one that Ken hadn't gotten to…

_________ POV Narration_________ The Raikage had been observing his son sparring with Ken since the beginning. To be exact, the Anbu he had trailing Ken had informed him of Killer B bothering him, and he decided to observe the situation personally ever since. He knew Killer B to be a rather arrogant young man, cocky and confident in his own abilities thanks to his status as a Jinchūriki, he hoped that he wouldn't try and antagonize Ken in any way... Thankfully, it seemed that B was in a very good…

__________ POV Narration__________ Ken didn't leave the cloud village after completing his deal with the Raikage, choosing to stay there and wait for a report from both Saburo and Akira regarding their findings. He made sure to send a message through their summons to Tosoh, informing him of his stay at the Raikage's residence and asking him to send over the reports of the other two blades as fast as possible. The Raikage seemed to be ok with waiting a bit for Ken's information gathering to conclude…

________ POV Narration ________ From the moment Ken started following the Anbu at a slower pace, one of the members ran ahead and informed the Raikage of the situation directly. The Raikage was a rather tall man, standing at 2,05 meters, or 6.73 ft. A dark-skinned man with an extremely muscular and well-defined build, with only one large scar visible on his chest. He had long white hair that flowed down his back, coupled with a trimmed white beard. He wore a pair of black sandals dark blue sweatpants,…

_________ POV Narration _________ Unlike before, Ken didn't bother announcing his departure this time. He dashed from the window in his office straight into the forest, becoming a blur as the wind bent around him. Saburo's clones still noticed his departure, as Ken realised it was important for them to at least know when he was away and act accordingly. Ken's speed was great, but his real best asset was his stamina. The nature energy constantly revolving inside his body made it hard for him to ever…

_________ POV Ken_________ Before leaving the scene, I collected my traps and burned all the bodies in a large pile to make things harder to track whoever might be looking for these cultists. The traps ended up going unused, but that can't be helped. I didn't think the madmen would completely forget about their initial objective and focus on me... Regardless, after burning the bodies till they were not distinguishable from firewood, I started my journey. It's already been an entire day. The best thing…

________ POV Ken ________ It's strange... Not feeling your heartbeat in your body, feeling your hands grow colder and colder as the supply of blood to your brane made your vision foggy... It's been quite some time since I've tasted my own blood like this... So much is coming out that I can't even keep it all in my mouth. However, despite the obvious blood loss and pain, it seems that my regeneration can keep up with this... Just barely. If this had been a year or two back, then I surely would've died…

__________ POV Narration __________ "... Cult of Jashin?" Ken asked as he supported his head on his palm, turning his head over to Tosho. "Yep! I don't know much about it yet, besides what the letter said." Tosho nodded as he brought Ken's attention back to the fact that it was a 'request' rather than a bounty. "Personal request from an anonymous sender..." Saburo muttered as he rubbed his chin with a raised eyebrow. The Dark Brotherhood had not yet grown to the point where it should have received…
