Wisely, Hanzo veered off from the road and into the near forest where he could get some much needed cover when approaching the warehouse. The forest was as lively as the ones that Hanzo had come to enjoy while traveling on this mission, with the exception of no due animals in sight as they skittered away in the presence of the interloper. Every now and then a squirrel leapt and bound across Hanzo's path, but still things grew silent as Hanzo continued closer and closer to the warehouse.

Then something would naturally come across Hanzo's line of sight as he ventured closer, a man who looked rough and bruised all over was resting up at a tree with a simple bat at his side. His nose was caked with dry blood and his right eye was a shiner at the moment. The man didn't seem to have any indication of being a shinobi, perhaps just a simple disgruntled villager who went in way over his head? The situation already looked a little pitiful, but perhaps if awoken the man could offer information regarding the warehouse ahead?

If Hanzo was as tactical and cautious as he tried to be back in the village, this would probably be his last meaningful way to check things out before he went in. It could mean the difference between another success and failure, but this was all in Hanzo's hands at this point.
