斑—- • A falcon flew up high over the tree tops, the wind currents flowing down its wings. Its sharp predatory eyes staring at the ground below for any signs of a prey and once it spots one, it lets out a cry to let his master know before flying in circles.

A sixteen year old Madara Uchiha smirks slightly, gaze shifting forward to where his trusted partner signaled. Stealthily, he sprinted through the tree branches and saw them; two hares unaware of the eyes stalking them. With a signal of his hand that the falcon saw, the bird strikes down with amazing speed and precise accuracy at one of the rodents, while an equally effective kunai takes down the other. The raven haired male steps out of the cover of the trees, stretching his arm out so his falcon lands on it.

“Well done. I think we gathered enough for today.” He states and the bird moves up to his shoulder while Madara bends down to tie up the hares by their legs and throw them in a bag along with the rest of the catches. That’s when he senses something else, or better said, someone else. Onyx eyes narrowed, looking at the direction of the strange chakra. “Looks like we got company.”
