Yuna sat in the large clearing on a Grass covered lake's edge. Patches of Wild Flowers covered the grassy clearing. Surrounding the the Clearing was a large Dense forest. The Light of the Moon shimmered of the lake. It was quite beautiful. Yuna looked out over the water and sighed.

On the far side of the lake, footsteps could be heard, the slow and deliberate sound of someone walking with a purpose in mind, the footsteps owner was invisible to the human eye for a few seconds, before finally appearing from the dark shadows of the trees, the first sign of his entry being the small glimmer showing from his headband.
Guro Katsuda continued to walk towards Yuna, before stopping at the far edge of the lake, the soft footsteps of his black boots on the grass faded into silence.
"So heres where you've been hiding..."

Yuna got to her feet and saw the man standing on the other side of the clearing. Standing just out of the shadows. Yuna sized him up, she could tell he wanted a fight, but why she knew not. "I hope you don't mind me asking , but who are you?" she said to him sounding bored as she usually did when faced with someone she deemed weaker then her self, which was most people. as she began to gather her chakra in case she needed a jutsu the water next to her feet beginning to gather frost on the surface.

Guro watched as the water froze next to Yuna, he seemed rather unpreturbed by it. In actuality, he was quite wary of her capabilities.
"If you must know, my name is Guro katsuda, don't bother introducing yourself, I already know about you, Witch of the Frozen Heart. It is for that reason I am here, you have secrets that the Leaf is interested in, so it is my job to escort you to the Village, and if you will not co-operate, to drag back your unconcious body to a holding cell.
So I'll ask you, will you come with me quietly?"
A ghostly rush of wind blew through the clearing, breaking the silence before fading, leaving no sound as the tension reached a critical, Guro readied himself for a fight if he needed to do so, but made every effort to keep it from showing.

Yuna tilted her head down and looked at the ground and considered what the man had just said. she looked up at him, right in the eye "what do you think?" she said to him darkly it was obvious by her tone of voice that she would not be taken back easily.
She then preformed a rain jutsu, it was such a simple jutsu, a ninja of her power did not need to make the hand seals. Clouds formed over head and covered the night sky, then rain drops, it started out slow at first but soon it was pouring. Guro would not have been able to tell that she was responsible for such rain.

"I didn't think so..."
Guro channeled chakra into his feet, used his thumb to flick his katana about an inch out of it's scabbard and used his speed to dash across the water incredibly fast, having drawn the sword mid-dash he was already gearing up for a slash.
He knew that Yuna would not be a very good S-rank ninja if she was beaten by such a simple move, but the reports he was given were vague, so he decided to test her abilities, Guro stopped in front of Yuna, pausing for but a moment before he released a right to left slash, aiming for her torso.

Yuna flicked the Neko-tes out of her hand, the nails extended out and inch or so and revealed themselves to be vary sharp, she then filled them with wind chakra a blue fiery out line of them extended a few inches longer.
She then caught the katana with them, as the same time she did this she swung the other hand up to punch him in the stomach, Yuna is much stronger then the normal male ninja so if this hit landed it would send him flying back.

Guro's katana stopped with a jolt, he saw the punch coming and used his speed and agility to reach out ancd backhand the punch away from his body before it could land, missing him by a hair's breadth.
"Sorry, but one way or another, you are coming with me."
Guro pulled his katana back, sliding it away from the grasp of Yuna's Neko-te, using his speed he gained a distance from her and began running off handseals, ending at the Rooster. Guro channeled chakra out and around his body and the surrounding area, he upped the concentration a bit more to make the black swirling mass visible, see if he couldn't at least make her a little unnerved.
"Ninja Art: Demon's Call!"
Guro created the intricate images as he fed them towards Yuna, aiming to affect her mind, a vision of hell itself rising from the ground, the trees breaking apart to reveal horrifying demons of all shapes and sizes, surrounding the pair and advancing slowly on Yuna.
Guro finished the setting for the Genjutsu by very subtly moving his body a couple meters to the right, hoping that Yuna would be distracted enough by the demons to not notice, so should she try to attack him, she would miss.

Yuna watched with little emotion as the the scene before her transformed into a hellish wasteland, but she didnt gain the S rank criminal for nothing, she knew immediately that this was genjutsu she ignored the demons because she knew they posed no threat.
Instead she focused on Guro, when she saw him move she knew she couldn't trust her eyes, so she couldn't know for sure if he moved in reality or if it was just another illusion.
"Hmf" she scoffed she threw a string of hand seals together "this should break your concentration, Kijoaisu Mist!"
She opened her mouth and a dense cloud of mist flew out of her mouth she turned her head so the mist covered the area where Guro used to be and where he appeared to be.

Guro felt the massive chill as the mist enveloped him, he attemtrped to maintain concentration but he knew hat he couldn't maintain the illusion for long, and that if he stayed here long he'd be more than a little chilled, Guro fed a burst of chakra to the illusion to maintain it or a few seconds, then dashed away from the opaque mist into the trees.
Guro needed to get close enough to attack her, thankfully the mist obscured any view, so it should mask his movements. Guro circled around the mist, staying within the treeline to help him stay out of view, he had to be careful not to make much noise, he was unsure how good Yuna's hearing was and so made every effort to remain hidden.

Yuna felt better when the genjutu faded, not because the images scared her, just that she now knew she could trust her eyes.
She she could hear Guro moving about but she didn't really pin point it. As a precaution she jumped into the middle of the mist, Unlike Guro and most people, the Kijoasiu would not collect of her, because of the same reason she could move through it, it was the same priceable.
she decided to take advantage of the fact that he couldn't see her. she made a ice clone next to her and then slipped into the water and swam to the bottom of the lake, from there the lake started to freeze, the ice came off her then slowly began to extend away from her. She kept it slow so it wouldn't get to close to the surface and give herself away just yet.
Then the clone jumped out of the mist so Guro would see and threw 5 senbons into the different sides of the lake, then returned to the mist. The clone had poured her ice chakra into these senbon so right as they hit the water it started to freeze about 10-5 seconds later the lake was totally frozen.

Guro kept a close eye on his opponent as she seeed to dappear into the mist and then freeze te lake for n apparent reason, but Guro was smarter than that, he knew that nothing was done without a reason.
Now that she had frozen the lake however, he couldn't use Water Shark Bomb Jutsu, so unless she attacked him with some more Jutsu he could attempt to copy, his arsenal was limited, he could always...
No, not unless it was necessary, it drained his strength immensely and he would need all he could muster, besides, he didn't like having things done for him unless he had no choice.
Guro readied his katana and took aim of where he believed Yuna to be, taking a single step back before dashing into the mist, reappearing on the other side and stopping with a short skid acros the ground, turning to face the mist he waited for any indication that his attack had connected, Guro knew to not go into that mist for too long, a fine layer of frost had coalesced over his katana blade.

Guro's attack was in fact unsuccessful, Yuna's clone was able to dodge it just barely. The clone jumped out of the mist and drew her chain scythe, she began swinging it around then flung the scythe at him, but still held onto the end of the chain, then The real yuna preformed a chain manipulation jutsu from the ice where she hid, because of this she was able to control the clones chain and watch from the clones eyes. The Scythe was flying strait for Guro and if he tried to deflect it she would use the jutsu to make the scythe dodge the blow and attack from the side.

Guro didn't deflect, but instead dashed to the side, far faster than a normal Shinobi, however it was not fast enough, as the scythe raked across his chest, creating a shallow cut, Guro doubled up and clutched the wound for a moment, before looking up and laughing.
"You'll have to do better than that."
Guro readied his katana and barreled after Yuna, using Chakra Flow in the middle of the dash to add an invisible edge to the blade, instead of attacking head on Guro stopped behind Yuna, blade already in position to strike, not wasting time he swung it at Yuna, he knew it was very unlikely to kill her, but maybe he could wound her enough to have an easier time disabling her.

Guros blade hit Yuna, but when connected in just stopped and a loud sound of metal clashing with metal rang through the night. The Yuna guro and been fighting with now was revealed to be a clone. Spikes of ice began to protrude out of the clone quickly and in turned into a large ice spike ball, if Guro didnt retreat as soon as this happened some of the spikes would stab him.
"Im over here." Yuna said as she rose out of the middle of the frozen lake "why dont you try and get the real me next time?"

((College been rushing me, so I put up multiple tabs and leave it, don't get on very much nowadays))
Guro dashed away from the clone the moment he heard metal hit metal, the ice spikes largely missed him but one scraped his shoulder and the bare tip of one impaled his leg, it wasn't deep enough to cause movement issues, but it was still unpleasant.
Guro backflipped away as Yuna rose from the water and taunted him.
"It would be my pleasure. Ninja Art: Shadowstep!"
Guro flooded his body with black chakra, reinforcing his organs, spinal cord and limbs to cope with the breackneck speeds he would unleash, Guro seemed to begin running for one moment before becoming a black blur with the sound of a keening whistle and rushing air booming out from where he just was.
Guro appeared in front of Yuna, fist raised to punch her, but instead of hitting her directly, he disappeared again and reappeared behind her, getting down on his hands he raised his leg and scythed it towards Yuna's midsection, not waiting to see if he had hit he disappeared again, seeking refuge in the treeline and waiting for Yuna to make her next move.

((im really sorry i took so long to post ive been really busy and it has taken me like three day to Finnish this post, i had been writing it on a word doc))
Yuna cartwheeled to the side to try and avoid the kick, but it still made contact, it was just a little to fast for her to dodge it successfully. She landed right side up on her feet, and slid a little bit to the side.
Yuna pulled out 9 Senbon out of her pouch, she filled each of them with her ice chakra, the senbon didn’t look any different but they had just gotten more deadly ten fold. She looked up at Guro and threw them at him.
But right after the senbon left her fingers she began stringing together a line of hand signs “Senbon Shadow Clone Jutsu!” she said softly to her self
The 9 senbon that had been flying towards him were now 135 senbon needles each of them extra dead because the ice chakra had been duplicated for each new senbon.
Guro was facing what would look like a wall of needles each about 8 inches apart from each other. He would not have time to go around it, or out run it, or jump over it.
Yuna smiled to her self. Then over on the horizon the sun began to rise
“Oh look at that sunrise, Guro will be so disappointed but, I do have a Futal Lord to kill. To bad I would have liked to kill this man. hmm it cant be helped.”
Yuna Turned around and put a hand on the ice she was standing on then right where she was standing the block of ice extended out fast enough to launch her in the opposite direction of Guro, the direction of her new target. She was lunched vary far but as soon as she landed she took off running flooded wind chakra to her feet to give her self a substantial burst of speed.

Guro saw the wall of senbon coming towards him,not having the time to wonder how Yuna was able to spot him in the dense foliage he hid behind the tree he was perched on, the senbon embedded into the thick trunk but weren't able to go through it, other Senbon carried on to embed themselves in other trees or disappear into the darkness.
Guro then heard Yuna say something about killing a Feudal Lord, he guessed the tactic of her client was to place the blame on the most likely culprit and start a war between two nations, then they could move in and pick off the survivors, effectively gaining territory with minimal casualties. Guro knew the tactic well, the Katsuda employed it more than once.
Guro moved out from behind the tree to face Yuna, but she was already gone, Guro saw the block of ice she created on the surface of the frozen lake, glistening in the dawn sun, this would all melt in the next few days, so Guro turned his attention to different matters, where would she go to?
As it happened, this nation's Feudal Lord was away on official business, killing him then may very well put blame on the wrong nation, so she would have to wait until he came back which wouldn't be for a few days yet. The nearest ton was a few hours walk, but Guro could leap from tree to tree, and so could Yuna, it would most likely only be half an hour at most for either of them to reach there. Ironically, the Feudal Lord would have to make a stop there on the way back to his palace, making it the prime place to assassinate him
Guro's mission was still in effect, bring her back alive, so he decided to go to the town and locate her, he leapt onto the branch of a tree and proceeded to leap from branch to branch towards the town, and hopefully, Yuna.
Guro progressed at a calm speed for two reasons, one being that although he hadn't expended a large percentage of his chakra, he made it a habit to keep it as close to it's very copious maximum as possible, so that should he face a tough opponent he would be able to defeat them or even learn new Jutsu. The second reason was that if he used too much chakra, Yuna may be able to sense the weighting of the air that came with high chakra usage, and guess he's on her tail, and therefore change her plans, where Guro may lose her trail permanently.

What Guro didn’t know Yuna or her mission, he had bet a lot based on only a assumption. He assumed that her assassination was designed to start a war, but he had been wrong, the man who hired her to kill the feudal lord had no intention to start a war, no this man wanted him dead because if he died then he would be the next in line to take his place.
Yuna had no specific orders to kill him in any specific place, only to leave witnesses so everyone would know that he was killed by a rogue ninja, as to prevent the war.
Yuna had ran all day and now the sun was setting, she sat crouched in a tree, looking at a small but high quality Inn. At the side a horse drawn carriage was sitting next to the Inn with the horses sanding in the stable close by.
Yuna could see right through the window and the lord was in there all right sitting at a table stuffing his fat face. Yuna grimiest in disgust “at least he will die happy, with food in his mouth.” She said quietly to herself.
Yuna quickly swung of the tree and grabbed the edge of the roof and swung in through the window, as she soon as she landed in the room as took a half of a second to analyze the room, there where three buff ninja guarding him and probably a couple sanding guard outside of the room, but she would be gone before they would have a chance to defend him. Before the ninja had a chance to even be surprised that she was there
She threw three senbon out, one to each ninja to of them had ice chakra in them, and hit two of the ninja in the throat and the tissue on his neck frosted over, they both choked out some frozen blood and fell to the ground the third senbon hit his hand pinned it to the wall behind him, keeping him alive but, rendering him helpless.
The lord started to blubber and cry, as he begged for him life.
She ignored his pleads and simply snapped his neck, clean quick and simple. She then looked through the room, until she found a large sack of money, she took it so the motive would look like the murder was greed related, and suspicions wouldn’t find its way back to her employer.
As she was about to leave she heard something and turned around, to see the ninja she left alive trying to pull his hand away from the wall, he was whimpering in pain. She walked over to him and put her hand on his throat and pushed him back against the wall, hand still closed around his throat she leaned in a whispered in his ear “your lucky, you get to survive today, I have given you a gift, a very important gift, the gift to keep on living, don’t waste it.” She said softly she then kissed him on the cheek and when she pulled away his cheek was bruised by the cold, in the shape of her lips. She jumped out of the window and ran off to look for a place to camp, or a town or something.
She came across a lake. “hmm this will have to do” she tossed the bag of gold into the lake and it sank to the bottom of the lake, she bent down and dipped her finger tips into the lake and began to freeze it over, when she was done she, sank down to the bottom of the frozen lake and went to sleep, if anyone stepped on the ice or got to close she would wake up and be ready, S level reflexes are not just for show.
