Obelisk found 9 Kunai, a scroll containing the water bullet jutsu, and a katana. Aside from that he found some papers detailing that these were indeed Konoha Shinobi who were sent out on patrol. The papers also stated that these shinobi should’ve reported back two days ago; meaning they had been taken for a while. One of their ID’s reported one of these men to be a member of the sarutobi clan and Sachi would most likely recognize him too, none of the others came from reputable clans or families.

Obelisk then reanimated the burnt body of the dead girl who no longer had any hair to speak of as it was all burnt off. Her stumbling corpse found effort in even standing up but thanks to Obelisk using his chakra to manipulate what remained of her legs he eventually managed; but it’d be straining and chakra taxing. When he asked her to perform a handseal she just looked at him with lifeless eyes before clasping her hands together in the ram seal. Nothing happened as she wasn’t commanded to actually use a Jutsu.

In response to Obelisks following questions, she looked down at the ground, grief-struck and spoke while tears would’ve rolled down her once plump cheeks if not for her merciless execution by one of her own village. “We left Konoha about a week ago as per usual, our patrols last five days and cover the south area of the land of Fire. The day we were about to return to the leaf we were intercepted by Four unusual shinobi, one of whom easily took us down by turning to steel, while our jutsu were intercepted by another. After beating us unconscious we were tied up and sealed away. The next thing we know we were unsealed, starving and thirsting, while a swarm of bats grouped into three clones that then tied a rope around our necks and hung us up, one by one, before dissipating in a swarm of bats again. Most of us died in minutes but I managed to free my hands and pull up on the rope to buy some more time in an hopeless attempt. Then I heard footsteps and saw you in the distance. I was so glad…. But then… that girl. SHE BURNED ME!”. Now crying uncontrollably, it took a while before she was able to speak again. “The one you are looking for wears a white robe, and has white hair, and his main weapon seems to be a sword. His jutsu is… I can’t quite understand it. All of our jutsu just seemed to collapse upon themselves. Also… he doesn’t… seem to speak to anyone but his bats. Reasoning seems useless, as many of my now dead comrades  tried it to no avail, they were only met by that eerie chuckling.... I can still hear it, in the back of my head… please… please make it stop.”.

Obelisk would find a good portion of his chakra drained in the time it took the woman to speak, but in turn the group gained some valuable information.

Sachi would sense some of the bats that were flying around close to the edge of her sensing area.

If the party continued to move ahead they’d notice that a thick black mist was growing around them the deeper they headed into the forest. Nanalu could see the chakra making up this mist, letting her know it was some kind of jutsu. And upon moving through the mist, while breathing as someone would normally do, each member of the party would begin to hallucinate. All of the Genin would see Sachi as a muscular berserker wielding a torn off trunk for a weapon, that was trying to kill them. Meanwhile Sachi would see three teenagers with masked faces, in Akatsuki robes, one of who was carrying Seika’s head.

Meanwhile, the white-haired villain had put a distance of 5 miles between himself and his pursuers. He stopped on a tree-branch and waited for his messenger bat to return to him before being alerted by the singing of a little girl in a red dress. Turning to where the soft melody came from, he flashed a vile grin and licked his lips, displaying fanged teeth.
