Akuma waited by the pull cart on the outskirts of the village.

He was waiting on Ao to join him hunting for Hoerubuta. The Mizukage was hosting a dinner for royal guests, and this barking boar was on the menu.

"Good thing my folks let me borrow this pull cart, be rather difficult carrying 3 pig carcasses back." The blue sickles hung crossed on his back with the handles peaking over his shoulders. His hood and menpo were off. He didn't always put them on, sometimes it just felt nice to be unbound. Chains wrapped around his forearms and snaked behind his back to connect the two blue Damascus sickles. He looked up to see a break in the mist that allowed some sun to shine down, his belt buckle, originally the shinobi headband, glinted. When the sun disappeared again he turned his head back to the village. Wonder where he is ^^

Ao approached Akuma with a wide smile on his face, he was ready for his first mission. He was especially excited cause this was a personal mission for the Mizukage's party, so he knew this could not be messed up.

"Hey Akuma", Ao called out, " you ready to.get the show on the road!"

The boys headed towards the hunting grounds to see if the could pick up the trail of any Hoerubuta.

~Hours later~

"I don't see anything." Akuma whispered...Looking for the Hoerubuta, the two had patiently hunted the  wild pigs deep into the mountains. "For a pig that howls it sure is allusive." They had spotted tracks not that long ago, a small herd. After the first sighting they left the pull cart on the edge of a hunting trail they had used to climb the mountain. After an hour of tracking they had found themselves overlooking a small clearing in the woods. Giant trees blocked out most of the sun allowing only thin rays of light to reach the forest floor. The roots from these trees created small caves around the edges of the clearing, perfect for hiding spots.  

They have to be in there. "The tracks don't lead out of this clearing, they are hiding from us among the roots." He reached behind his back to grab one of the two chained sickles. Turning to Ao, "I can catch em," He twisted the black handle allowing the blue scythe to spin, "and reel em in. Think you can flush them out?"

Ao looks over at Akuma, " Oh I can flush them out just be prepared, we don't want to do any serious damage to the bodies, because the Mizukage needs them to look nice and neat for his guests, so try to aim for the soft underbellies."

Ao heads to the largest opening he can find under the tree and sets himself up right in front. He hears the faint snorts of a small group of pigs in the dwelling. "Alright hear goes nothing", Ao says to himself before using Lightning Hummingbird Technique and sending it directly into the area he hears the snorts coming from. He then jumps up to a branch above the opening and prepares 2 kunai for whatever comes out of the tree.

Akuma, hiding behind a fern bordering the clearing, prepares for the wild pigs to charge out. Raiton Kusarigamajutsu
He could see light coming from beneath the giant roots as the hummingbirds detonated on contact.

~RRREEEEEAAAAHH!!~

Spoiler:

The first set of pigs charged out from under the roots, swinging their heads as they went. Now! Akuma lept from his position behind the fern. Reaper's Strike! He launched the sickle at the first boar he saw, using his chakra to control the sickle, the attack curved close over the beast. His target wasn't the first pig, but the second, yet the first boar wriggled and stumbled as electricity temporarily locked up his muscles. The blue sickle continued on and bit into the belly of the second boar. The chains moved to the back leg to entangle the animal until the chain was taught.

With both hands he held the chained animal from moving further. It screamed and thrashed, turning its attention to the hunter. "I've got one on the hook!," he yelled out, as the first boar joined it's brother quickly recovering from the initial shock from the raiton. Akuma gave a sharp grin, I might need to get away here pretty soon... he looked around as more pigs made their way out of the roots. Without taking his eyes off the two he challenged he counted 3 other pigs. Definitely... He might have been more worried if he was alone, surrounded like this. Unfortunately for the screaming boars, Ao was here...

As the Boar family exited there dwellings, Akuma was able to subdue 2 of the boar one fully and the othe appeared to receive a light jolt that stopped the boar in its tracks. As both boar were stopped Ao threw 2 Kunai one landing into each of the Boar's chests. The Kunai did not penetrate deep due to the Boar's tough hide, but he had hoped that they were deep enough for his plan to work.

Ao then threw one of his chakra burn Kunai in to the ground ahead of him, so that it was now in between himself and the first 3 Boar, as by this point 3 more boar had exited the dwelling.

Ao jumped back and the 2 injured boar charged him with insane speeds, as they crossed paths with his kunai in the ground he used Kamitsumaki. The kunai in the boars chest disappeared deep into both boar's chest cavitities. Ao smiled as they dropped to the ground, "Perfect." He now had 4 boar charging him at full speed.
