Shien spun about the moment he heard people approaching, forgetting that the dark goggles that now rested over his eyes might make him look a little silly, or menacing even. SO when a girl on a dog came up, he just waved to her while Bofu turned around to face outside of the gate, ready to get to work.

Shien spoke to Saishu as Michirama was coming up along the horizon, "Hey there, yeah I was thinking we could use your guys' senses. Plus your clan was one of the only ones to answer the call, so thanks for that." He offered her a thumbs up and a bright smile. Shien was always so nice to people younger than himself. ANd with Bofu, he showed a quiet and reserved sense of respect for his elder.

He hoisted the backpack on his back up a little, jostling the contents inside of it while Michirama came up and greeted everyone. "Hey there Cabbage Head." He said, giving Michirama a nickname as a small reminder of their fight that they had.

Bofu would turn around, looking out of one eye at Michirama with a light upwards inflection of his head and a stuffy puff of air from his nose and over those facial whiskers. Bofu then promptly turned back forward, "Everyone is gathered. We move now."

Shien turned back around and motioned for everyone to follow him out of the gate. "Come on everyone. This is going to be relatively easy. We're just going to go around the entire border of the Land of Fire. And we are going to survey the land.  Bofu here miht be able to provide some assistence on how the land used to look before the whole Great Scar incident."

As Shien explained what they were doing, Michirama and Saishu had some time to socialize with anyone in the party, Shien was busy along the path of the Eastern route out of Konohgakure to start working on his maps, cross referencing them with his maps that were the standard mass produced versions, mumbling to hismelf now and then about horrible representations about landmarks and scale on the map.

Bofu was just walking forward, acting as the vanguard of the group and defending the front, keeping everyone safe behind himself.

The first stop was the border between the land of Fields and the Land of Fire. But along the way there, the group would come to a large open grassy field, frought with thin trees of a black type of wood and thick grass that had not been touched in a long while. The grass was so high it came up to the thighs and even the waist in some areas. There were a few things sticking up odd though on this first stop of many for the travelers, the remnants of houses. Bofu would be the first to speak up about it, "This used to be a village. Now it's a hovel for wild beasts looking for their next meal."

And, as if on cue, there would be the sound of something horrible growling, the grass moving about and the birds in the distance fleeing to the sky.
