"My apologies Zeshin, but for specific reasons, my name's not to be shared. If you wish to call me something, call me Ushi" the offered nickname was hardly a name at all, simply a Japanese iteration of the word 'Ox' though his intention wasn't to mock the intelligence of the Jounin from Konohagakure but merely offer a sense of ease between them for the journey wasn't going to be a short one given the vast distance they've accumulated thus far from the village itself, let alone the cottage on the West-bound wall, groaning as the shinobi accepted his proposal, he but shrugs before racing off due west with the leaf shinobi beside him. Before a question was posed, an expression was made beneath the mask and the golden eyes of the shinobi spoke anguish.

"You know little about me, Jounin of Konoha. Your assumptions may yet prove false. The motivation for the return of your Genin were not out of kindness, merely convenience. It'd serve both my friend and a far greater opportunity to return home without causing too much of a ruckus if the Genin were handed over." the silver haired shinobi then focused ahead of him, stopping just before a series of cottages with the symbol he had mentioned, lifting his right hand upwards he mumbles a single word beneath his mask "Release" and the illusion upon the other cottages are removed, unveiling a small uninhabited village with the cottage he spoke off in the far left corner from their position.

"As for the child. She came to us of her own accord. And we've forged her into what she is today. The consequences of her actions will show in time" he spoke to Zeshin before pacing along the road which led to the cottage door, opening the door he steps inside the cottage before retrieving the missing team of shinobi, tied and gagged and asleep before placing their sleeping bodies before Zeshin.

"We?" The red haired female inquired in accordance to the peculiar way the Aburame spoke to her 'What a weird guy' the shinobi thought to herself whilst continuing north, the Jounin appeared to keep up with the female's full speed with ease, even capable of offering what little conversation he had to offer amidst the dash. She would've been impressed having not shared the experience of her clone's demise.

"It probably would've been best if you went with the blonde shinobi, bug man" She spoke teasingly, the nickname utilised in somewhat of a mocking manner until she arrives at the end of the forest, standing still among the empty field.

"Because 'we' would prove dangerous for you, should you misbehave" the end of her sentence hung in the air whilst the presence of 8 other formidable forces would be felt by anyone nearby. Though within the instance their chakra would be sensed, they appeared, 8 figures with similar variations of the white mask though adorning a different attire between the mix of them. Though little was revealed by the outfits they wore as their intention was to prevent their physical appearances and possibly their potential hidden from any they encountered.

"You shouldn't be here" a filtered voice spoke in the mix behind the group, a member the kept particularly obscured for some unknown reason, they separated as a blank mask with no slits for the eyes raised its head at the shinobi.

"Leave" upon the command they begin to walk in the opposite direction of the Aburame Jounin in a rather slow stride as if they cared not for anyone to follow, though it could be felt that among the ranks, they all shared a power rivalling even the strongest of the S-Rank Jounin whilst the one who offered the command seemed capable of sharing a bout with even a Kage.
