Wandering the Forests around Kumogakure [P][Kiun, Saru]

[OOC: Kiun is to post here. >>.]]

Kiun cursed under his breath as he sped through the forest at full speed. The rain poured down heavily, mixing with his flowing blood and washing the wound. He looked down at it and cursed more loudly this time. There was a gaping hole in his left arm, which he didn't mind. However, what he did mind was the fact that the man who had given it to him was still chasing after him. He was followed by nine ninja hounds and three Chuunin. Kiun could take any of them out one-on-one, but the damned dogs were making it difficult to fight. Looking down at his leg he stopped to examine the bite he had received on his left shin. It was bleeding profusely, and it might have been infected.

The ninja had begun to chase him at the border of the lightning country when they had recognized him. They chased him down with their ninja hounds-probably gifts from the goody-two-shoes Konoha- and circled around him. He was able to break the probable Jounin's shin before the dogs got too close. There were ten hounds when the battle had started, but the one that was unfortunate enough to sink his teeth into Kiun was shattered beyond recognition. Pissed off and wounded by one of the Chuunin's katanas, Kiun knocked the closest one into a tree and sped off into the woods. He had heard of a village known as the Bloodmist, but it was supposed to be just a rumor. As he neared the gates he realized it wasn't. Turning around, he cursed as he saw them coming closer. "Can't let them live now that they've me near the village" He mumbled to himself as he prepared to fight. The first of the hounds appeared, jumping at Kiun with his foaming mouth open. Kiun side-stepped, striking it directly beneath its skull and snapping its spinal chord. It fell limply to the ground, its companions circling around him with the four ninja behind. The Chuunin he had knocked into a tree was bleeding from his skull, and was loosing blood fast. His headband had become a make-shift bandage, but it wasn't helping much.

Calling upon the power of the blood that had brought him here, he activated his innate talent. Suddenly, a massive knight appeared next to him. It wielded a flail and tower shield, and it was massive. He took his place in front of Kiun, smashing a hound with its massive flail as it neared. He caught another one by the neck between his shield and the soaking ground, beheading it with little effort. Kiun reached into his vest and produced a wire full of kunai. There were nearly a hundred kunai on the wire, and Kiun prepared to use them all. Launching volley after volley into the ranks of the dogs, he lit them ablaze with explosive tags and caused them to run off into the woods yelping. The chuunin turned to run, but were rallied by the Jounin. Suddenly, Kiun jumped toward the chuunin. He struck them both in the necks, poison seeping into their bloodstream through their pores. The poison was a tranquilizer, and they fell limply to the ground. The flail knight dispatched of them quickly. Breathing heavily, Kiun removed bandages from his pocket and tied up his two wounds. With the bleeding stopped he focused on the battle. The other chuunin had been slain, but the Jounin was holding his own. Seeing his chance, Kiun summoned a spear from his back and sunk into the shadows. When the knight had pushed the Jounin back far enough for him to be within Kiun's range, he jumped from the shadows and impaled the Jounin. Letting his corpse drop to the ground, he released the knight and turned to find the massive gate that would point out Kumogakure.
