| abstract | - The King of Hell in his spirit form sat on the shoulder of Raido, eyes glaring toward the Shinseimura Village as Raido moved closer to it, Raido could tell they got closer as well when the ground beneath them slowly turned into a swamp, no longer solid ground, but bogs and Marsh appeared as they began to stop from running and start walking. Raido jumped on the nearest tree which allowed him a decent vantage point, he could see the massive tree in the middle which had homes in it, as well as the surround village. Raido using his Rinnegan which allowed him to see the barrier around the village, it extended quite a vast distance, and stopped a few meters from Raido's current position, had he pressed forward without his eyes active, he would have tripped the barrier and altered the village, which meant the faction and that group as well. This mission would require a softer touch, something Raido hasn't needed to do in quite some time. "Been a long time since I had to do stealth mission, especially one on this caliber, but I welcome the challenge, the consequences of being caught add to the thrill of this kind of mission". Raido X said excited, his deep voice hid his excitement, but Raido could taste the adrenaline in the back of his throat. The stakes couldn't be higher, and one wrong more, or action could cause a war, Splinter Cell missions were Raido's favorite. "Alright time to make our grocery list Yama". Raido said as he began to compile his plan in the order things should be done. "First we get past this barrier which will be easy considering what is to follow, once we do that we then go to different vantage points to get an idea of the village layout. So far I see numerous vantages points where we could broadcast our chakra signal into the Paths, the higher we go the stronger the frequency, and with my chakra we don't have to be as close. With all the vantages points I see in this village if anyone ever got on to us we could easily lose the trail". "Second, once we have that situated we go into town with a disguise, and get a feel for the mood of the village and whats going on, as well as do some background research on this faction, the fact we got this close and we still have nothing one me intrigues me. This may be more of a secret operation since the villages borders seemed closed off from the outside, we will need to see this faction first hand to get a positive ID on what we are dealing with here". "Third, and my favorite part, we will need to gather bodies top channel the Six Paths of Pain through, while I would love to fight on the front line myself right now the early part of his mission is not about fighting but espionage, and stealth. With the Six Paths we can use them as the instruments of hope, when the people see how these Six are willing to stand up for their freedom the people will draw strength for them. That will keep the pressure of us, and more so on the people". Raido X said as he rubbed his hands together. Yama looked over at his contemporary and could do not but grin, before Yama came to Raido he was already clever, intelligent and quite dangerous, but over the years Raido's mind only seem to expand with creating elaborate plans, and being able to see them through to the end, and even when some plans went awry, Raido had the mental fortitude to work well on his feet and adapt so that it looks like it was planned for. A powerful trait, one wanted to see in his ally, but not his enemy. Raido was pleased in his plan as he grinned almost ear to ear, of course people would die for defying the faction, The Six Paths of Pain were intended to rekindle the dying flames of hope in the people, not protect them once they did. Raido would Shepard these people back to their will to fight, however they would be responsible for their own action. There would probably be blood on Raido's hands for this indirectly, but he would help who he could. Sacrifice a few to save many. Raido said to himself. A thought that was not one he cared to believe in but there was no way he could save everyone nor was he interested in saving anyone. "We've made our list and checked it twice, now we need to get down there and see who is being naughty and who is being nice". Raido erased his physical body so that he could phase through the barrier undetected moving swiftly as he did to make sure there was no patrol watching him. Raido made sure to keep watch for the villagers to see how they dressed as well his outfit stuck out far to much meaning he would need to grab a cloak and find a way to blend in. Raido landed on the ground undisturbed, he quickly sensed the dukkha of the area and no one made any immediate moves toward him, his Rinnegan eyes sweeping back and forth, while Yama watched his backside doing the same. The Rinnegan shared vision in this case was a powerful trait that he would benefit from greatly. Raido walked from behind the building and saw that the people here were dressed in no particular fashion but they all had one thing in common, a long white or black scarfs that was wrapped around their neck, which some wore as hoods, some wore full cloaks that went around the neck, with the hoods up. "No surprise here, after all this is a swamp, this murky area probably see's quite a bit of rainfall". Raido said as he looked up to the sky, the clouds themselves seemed to hint at the incoming rain shower which would be go along with the humidity levels of this area, Raido knew he would need to get his hands one of those scarfs and from there get on with the mission.
