Polar

[Uziuke]

As the rice ball fell to the ground the small polar bear cub carefully inched it's way towards it. Uziuke, dressed in a white decorative silk robe tainted with red and yellow spirals of flames, phased away from the rather large water fountain that he sat near. The empty roads of The Desert Crown were clean and pristine. The evening was taking it's final yawn as the sun began to shy it's way down so the moon could take rise. The sky was a mixture of a purple and orange color as night time continued to creep near. The heat of the day also began to die out.

Uziuke watched the bear cub while perched on the rooftop of a local restaurant. He took a bite out of a dried snack cake. He wondered if the rumors were true about there being a huge threat hidden in the village. He looked down to the bear cub to see it now looking towards him. It sat with the rice ball in it's hands, as if wondering if Uziuke was letting him keep it. The boy devoured the snack cake as he reached for another treat. While the cub's attention was still on him, he now held up a cupcake with both of his hands. Suddenly, a purple aura of chakra surrounded the young traveler as a flame began to heat up the sweet cake. The fire danced gracefully in the boy's hands. The flickers of flames could be seen in the cub's wide eyes as it began to nibble on it's own rice ball. The boy let the flames vanish as he felt his hands becoming warm. He then tossed the cub the warm cupcake. It landed top side down on the ground near the cub. It kept it's eyes on the sweet snack as he finished his rice ball.

After finishing what was left of his own food the boy transformed himself into a cat. The black and red alley cat then began to take a nap. The last time he decided to pig out and go to sleep on a rooftop a police recognized it as a kid in distress. The teen awoke in a jail cell and spent the next few hours convincing them that he was only a traveler that had made his way to Wind Country. After the cub ate the warm snack cake that Uziuked tossed toward it, the cub calmly moved back into the restaurant.

[Uziuke]

The scavenger hunt that took place earlier was still on Uzi's mind. He couldn't find a thing on the list he was given, but he did meet a few others while participating. A kunoichi named Yakazi tagged along with the boy to see what a day with him was like. The two chit chatted half of the day away, getting into all sorts of mischief before settling down in The Desert Crown. "But where I'm from we know how to party. You guys don't do it as big as us." The female from Fire Country smirked a bit as she looked to Uzi. "Then follow me." It was beginning to get late. Uzi himself had no curfew, so time wasn't a thing to him. The two youngsters strolled down the quiet streets of The Diamond Crown. The moon was full and was glowing a bright yellow color. This provided the lighting for the Suna village below.

The two made their way to a local night club that seemed rather rowdy from the noise that could be heard inside. Uziuke transformed into an older version of himself and his female companion did the same. As they entered the building they noticed a lot of loud banter going on. "It looks like those two are about to fight." The boy said pointing towards two guys that were now standing and having a shouting match with one another. In the matter of minutes the two entered a squabble. Uzi could only laugh as the two drunks began fighting. They turned a table over and fell to the ground, drawing a rather large crowd. "It's already time to get out of here." "But we just got here." She seemed a bit frustrated, but the boy knew it would only be a matter of time before the police force came in. There was just too much riff raff going on. "If we're quick enough, we can pick up a few drinks before we head out. Everyone seems distracted by those two." The two jetted off, but not without a few barrels of the finest drinks the night club had to offer.

The two sat near the large water fountain that they started off at. Before they got deep into conversation a white polar bear slowly moved towards the two. It caught the duo's attention. They curiously watched the bear as it began to dance. "Those moves are pretty impressive, especially for a polar bear." Uzi nodded in agreement, watching closely as the black spirals in his red iris's began to spin rapidly. A tune could be heard coming from the restaurant as the bear continued to elegantly dance to the beat. With a smile Uzi asked for a dance. "Yes, I love this song."

The sun was only a few hours away from waking up and looking over the village. What a time.

[Uziuke]

Uziuke and Tatoro looked at the bandits angrily as they looked at the two with a grin. There were four bandits in total, each one dressed in black clothing. The leader held a crossbow pointed at the two, threatening them for their yen. The others held a katana, each of their own, ready to slice the two by their throats. The two's arms with held behind their backs, unable to defend themselves.

"I'll ask once more. Where is the yen? You two look kind of rich, so I want an answer. Failure to cooperate will end up with you two losing limbs." Both Uziuke and Tatoro kept their mouths clothes, angering the bandits further. "Fine." The bandit leader closed the eye that wasn't hidden behind an eye patch. "Kill them." He said quietly as he walked began to walk away from the scene. The remaining three bandits began to giggle like hyenas before handling the job.

"Wait! I'll tell you where the yen is if you let my friend go." Uziuke hurriedly spoke up. The boy knew it was his duty as a shinobi to keep the people of the village safe. He'd only met Tatoro and already the civilian was put in harms way due to bandits. The boy knew that blood shed on his account would only haunt him in the long run. On top of that, watching an innocent die was just not cool at all. The bandit leader opened his eye as he turned around with a grin. "Say again kid. I didn't hear you clearly." "Wow. I thought you only had one eye, not one ear." Uzi's tone was sarcastic. It was enough to anger the bandit leader as his face began to turn red. The bandit grunt holding Uziuke kicked him in the back of his right calf, making him lose his balance a bit. The grunt held him up to keep him from falling and kept his grip tight on him. "This isn't a laughing matter kid. In your position, the smart remarks aren't needed." The leader grinned closing his eyes. "Besides, I wear this eye patch for the flavor." Uzi sort of shook his head ignoring the latter part of the leader's words.

"Let him go and I'll lead you to my stash of yen. It isn't far, and he shouldn't be held accountable for my yen." Tatoro rubbed his chin thinking on the matter for a moment. "Let that one go, but keep a close eye on this one. And Yuno, follow that one and make sure he doesn't run off and tell the authorities. Escort him home and we'll meet back up with you in after we handle this one." Uzi watched as Tatoro was released and followed down a dirt path. "Move boy." The leader said as the bandit grunt pushed the boy along.

Uzi led the three bandits to a giant dry dirt patch. "Kid, we are in the middle of no where. We've been walking for a while. The sun is starting to set. Stop the games. Where is the yen?" "I buried it here. Now tell your grunt to get off of me so I can dig it up." As the boy was released he rushed through a few hand seals. "We don't have time to play rock, paper, scissors boy. W- Wahhh" A dragon made of fire was expelled from the boy's mouth, passing through each of the bandits. Each of them fell to the ground burning and screaming. The boy only shook his head as he phased away.

"They're taking forever. Where are they?" The neighborhood was quiet. The lights were already off in most of the houses in the district. Tatoro only looked to the sky, watching the moon and the stars that were out for the night. Rustling could be heard in the bushes nearby. It was enough to spook the grunt. Before anyone could make a move Uzi chopped the guy at the neck, knocking him unconscious. "Don't worry about being bothered by any of these guys ever again. I'll take care of this one." Tatoro smiled, the tears in his eyes showed his thankful emotion. Uzi nodded at his new friend, dragging the unconscious bandit to who knows where.

[Uziuke]

The boy dropped from the ceiling, landing on the ground safely on his feet. A series of kunai came flying at the boy. He moved gracefully between the barrage of sharp knives, careful not to get himself killed. He caught the last kunai and threw it at a training dummy a few yards off. It landed in the training target's heart area. He visited the dojo because it was a very popular place to sharpen one's skills. Of course it was something that would peek the boy's interest.

One there the boy got straight to work. He began setting up traps for the perfect training regiment. Hours passed and the day began to shift to night. Uziuke looked out the doors of the dojo. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighing as he knew there was a lot going on within the village. He decided to stay away for a while and get back into the motion of training. "Again." Not satisfied with his training regiment he decided to turn it up a notch. Once started up it was hard to slow the boy down. He didn't have much to do so he would spend his day training.

By night the boy was flying through the Desert Crown. After a hard workout it would be great to catch a bite to eat. He visited his favorite restaurant. A polar bear was near a water fountain grazing on its dinner. The boy approached the animal, petting it on the head before going in and getting his own food.
