Their first night in this mysterious place would come and go like a thief in the night. Kideme utilized it by spending the last bit of time she had with Tiatsu and Taiki but eventually went to asleep. Before she did eventually retire for the night though, she had to make one adjustment. Kideme took apart her shamisen by unscrewing the plate that secured the strings to the neck and the neck to the belly and base. The neck, which she soon pulled open had actually been a sheath for her custom forged odachi. As much as she wanted to carry it on, she needed to trade music and dual function for survival and quick access. So with discarding those pieces, Kideme attached the scabbard to the same harness on her hip that she had her rope hanging by on her hip. Once that was done, she was off to bed and she cleared her mind for sleep and listening for the outside elements. Normally she was a hard sleeper but ever since setting foot on foreign soil, she slept with one eye and one ear open.

Over the next four days of exploring, their already decreased number would continue to dwindle more. People were disappearing left and right and even the search parties that were dispatched to find these missing people would also just disappear and never return. When it came to her attention that they were 200 shinobi down from when they started, that's when it hit Kideme that something was here, and whatever it was, it didn't want them here. Or at least, it wasn't going to make nice.

Before she knew it, day five had come and she was running for her life with the others! Kideme was among those 100 shinobi who complied with the order of laying out paper bombs and detonating them. She thanked her lucky stars that she could perform the seal with a single hand while she kept running.

Ms. Fuma then alerted to them all that there was a clearing up ahead and they were going to stand their ground to fight that which was giving them chase. Once they had finally reached it, Kideme pulled her Warhammer loose and began to concentrate her chakra. Whatever was coming would surely not go down easily. But then.....it stopped. Things went quiet for a short spell.

The grass in this area came up just past Kideme's waist and there were trees pockmarked everywhere. This complicated things on a direct approach's level but she was also aware that she could use this to her advantage. For now though, Kideme got into the formation that was called, being among her fellow ninja in the front and near the right several feet center. The rumbles were intimidating indeed but Kideme held her head high and kept her spine straight. "We are men...more than beasts..." She repeated at a whisper.

And with that, a huge force broke into the scene and a huge tree came flying at them. Kideme instinctively body flickered to roll out of the way of the tree. Upon landing and assessing the gargantuan creature as she maintained a safe distance away, she weaved her right hand the seals for starch entrapment. Hawking up her chakra she spewed a sizeable stream of the tacky goop at the flooring  before the creature's feet. With it being double the height of an average man and having more than ten times the weight, the grass around it should have been matted down enough to serve as an apropos surface for the starchy syrup to lay upon. Hopefully with its large stride and quick movements, it would step into the goop and have at least a movement of being trapped there. Whatever happened, Kideme was moving away quickly just in case anything else came flying. She was hasty on her feet with her sword held horizontally in front of her.
