As Michirama focused he was surprised to notice that the group they had been following was now scattering, it was odd, were they aware of the ninja coming after them? And if so what sort of bandits were they to get scared by a couple of low level ninja. The forest they were in was enormous, the sheer scale of the trees made Michirama wonder about his place in the world. Humans were so small in comparison to many things, but now was not the time to get lost to philosophy. As the team continued to follow the bandits they eventually came across a large open pit.

Filling the pit where gigantic wooden spikes, the likes of which Michirama couldn't have even imagined. Michiramam had to guess, from his perspective that the hole was anywhere from 15 to 25 meters across, it was hard to tell, if he had been looking at it from a bird's eye view he was sure he'd have had better luck guessing the distance. The spikes seemed to be the only way across, but also the most dangerous part of the pit. He took note of how the bandits traversed from spike to spike, never really staying on one for very long and always balancing with one foot. They were either very agile or knew how to channel chakra to their feet in order to stick to the surface.

Assuming Michirama's sensing technique also picked up the centipede riders or Masami warned him, Michirama would peer over the edge to have a look. "Guess we gotta watch out for them. If you have any flash bombs this would be a good time to use them, if they try to grab us when we go across you can drop them on them and disorientate them" He scratched his chin in thought "We can't fight safely on the spikes so we'll have to jump across to get to flat ground and not lose those bandits" He would wait for any input on Masami or Tuck's end before taking a deep breath "I won't be able to use my sensing technique while jumping across, too much focus involved, so you'll have to be keeping an eye out for us both. We'll be back in a jiffy Tuck" He would nod and make the first move.

Michirama drew his sword, holding the hilt in his right hand and the scabbard in his left. THis would mean he could react almost instantly instead of having to draw his sword, it also meant he would be able to balance himself out, like a tightrope walker with the giant stick. Michirama leapt to the first spike, concentrating chakra to his feet in order to stick to the side of the spike, barely missing the point with his foot. Once successful he would orientate himself and jump to the next spike, repeating the process. It was slow progress, he had to wait a few seconds to orientate himself so he didn't accidentally jump to his doom and also to keep check on the running bandits and the centipede riders below. It was very stressful. Michirama would continue this process the whole way across the pit unless he was hindered. If not he would wait on the other side for Masami while activating his Sensing technique once more to try and find the runaways.
