scroll hunting.

Since madara had reaveld his face to the remainning members when miru joined her 2 brothers in the akatsuki, things had gotten well quiet, taka was working on getting the 8 tailed, but else, the rest of the members was sent on solo missions, a few times with their partner, but mostly solo`s since it normaly was getting a scroll or some information. If there finaly was a job that needed partners, pein would send the 3 siblings to finish it quick, sasori didnt mind the uchiha`s, in fact he respectet miru for her work and what she was going through. The red haired puppet master let out a sigh"if only all women were like her..world would be less annoying", he said to himself, letting out a sigh.

His mission was to find some old shrine of a clan that had left the village many years ago, inside the rumors said that the scrolls and information about the clan was there, the clan had a few members that had great great grandparents from the senju clan, so sasori had been sended to investigate, but to his dislike, his blondhaired partner wasent with him, troublesome, he was really good entertainment and company, even through he could be annoying, the puppet master thought, going down the dusty road in between the trees.

The birdsong was quite noisy today.
"It's nice sometimes you know, when everything's just going your way. Though at the same time, it's quite odd. People vanish left and right and no one knows why except one person."
Alex looked back down, facing the dusty path ahead of her. She was sure she could hear someone moving. Footsteps perhaps? Probably. At least, that's what they sounded like. Scruffs on the ground, kicking up dirt, slow, steady movements.

"Who's there?" Alex shouted toward the oncoming figure, drawing her Kunai. The kunai glinted in the sunlight pouring through the tree leaves.

"Great camo." Alex complained.

Sasori stopped in his tracks when he feelt a chakra signature, not on joinin level so the ninja shouldt be much for a trouble, he didnt want to make pein wait so he hoped for the ninja would run away when it saw him. He begang walking again and had his gaze straigt forward on the female figure. The wind made his akatsuki cloak blow around his feet, just reveleaving unsurprinsing he was wearing pants and shoes, sasori didnt really notice it, he stopped feeling the wind over 20 years ago.

"Who are you?" Alex shouted at the figure stepping toward her. "If you're a rogue ninja, I'll have to take you down! And mabye claim your bounty, if any, while I'm at it!"
Alex stepped toward the ninja, showing she was not afraid. Even though Alex sensed a very strong chakra around the ninja, he didn't feel too dangerous. Just... not easily exhaustable.

"I'm ready." Alex said, touching the scroll in her trouser pocket.

"theres no meaning in fighting you, it would be a human life waisted if you tried attacking me", he said calmy, not looking at her as he walked calmy towards her, but stepped a little to the right so he could pass her without going in her way"if you want a fight, make a clone"

"A clone?" Alex almost burst out laughing. "They won't be able to damage each other! That would be a much more pointless fight."

Alex gripped her Kunai tighter. "But if that's what you want..."
She bared her teeth. She tapped the scroll in her pocket.

Ten clones surrounded Alex as she dashed toward Sasori.

Sasori let out a sigh"..troublesome", he pressed the sealing makings on his left forearm. a stinging sound could be heard followed by smoke when the clones got destroyed, the large metal tail belong to the turtle-alike puppet, hiroko, drew back and waved warning over the puppet with sasori saftly inside under the big and hard shell.

Groaning and stopping in her tracks, Alex extended her arm and shot a bolt of crackling blue lightning at Sasori, aiming for his face.
"Lightning Line!" Alex breathed, forcing her remaining clones to do the same thing even though only one of the attacks would have any effect.

The puppet didnt move but when she was within reach, the tail shot out from above the puppet, cutting through the remainning clones befor triwling itself around the real alex tightly.

"Is your tail made from metal?" Alex asked. The decision to go against a lightning element user seemed like a bad one to Alex. Well, she wouldn't go against herself anyway.
"Lightning Pulse!" Alex whispered under her breath as she gathered lightning chakra into her body and released it allowing electrical current to fly through the tail.

the electric chakra did go through the tail but stopped at the shell, since sasori had build most of the puppet of wood, lightning didnt affect the main body. The puppet begang to walk past her, a husky dark voice comming from under the mask hiding the puppet`s mouth"get lost girl"

Alex's mouth agape, she realised that her lightning had practically no effect on the puppet.

"It's quite hard to get lost when you're holding me like this!" Alex joked, still trying to get free.
