Resting

 Everyone had finally gathered and decided to take a break, mostly because Tsu had requested such a thing. Her comment towards Hotaru would be returned by her complimenting her intelligence. She smiled and replied to her “Why thank you Hotaru.” Then suddenly out of nowhere she noticed a berry had come down, but by the time it attempted to land on her person, she had moved so it literally missed by divine intervention, that leading to Shouka’s perverted actions being negated. Taka asked Tsu how long they would be stopping for as he wanted to continue the mission as they could get farther ahead. Tsu replied to him “Only a good 30 minutes, a little break never kills.” Taka then began to talk to everyone like the leader of the team, he mentioned that Shouka should stop flirting with Tsu, and told Hotaru and Obelisk to keep their heads straight as this was the land of waves, a dangerous land filled with bandits. Not to mention, he also addressed Tsu telling her to be ready to run when shit hits the fan. Specifically saying that she better turn into an athlete had that scenario happened. She understood and kinda admired Taka for his initiative to take over the squad and act as the leader of the group. Then the time came as it was finally time to leave. Taka and obelisk followed by taking the sky again, as for Hotaru and Shouka they would be on the ground once more. Walking through the Land of waves, the group would begin heading east at this point.

 Uneasy feeling creeps on Hotaru, Obelisk, and Takahiro

 Shouka still being young and so inexperienced would only feel the air thicken, but since they were more experienced they would feel as if something was wrong, especially Hotaru, as they walked through the grassland and out of the forest (after 1 hour of traveling). Hotaru would be notice that a mist was begin to surround their position. The mist was extremely thick, not to mention powered by chakra, since Taka was above in the sky he would be able to notice this, but his sharingan wouldn’t be able to see through the mist. This hidden mist was much more potent than a regular one as 2 shinobi’s had created it to make the mist much thicker than it was noted. This leading to the mist reaching a far range, to be exact almost the same range Hotaru’s byakugan can see. The shinobi’s were well hidden, one was far ahead towards the front of Hotaru’s group, the other would be far towards the left. This can easily be assumed to be the work of Kirigakure ninjas. Within the mist noises would begin to engulf the area, the sound of a flute would begin to clearly ring through the mist where Hotaru,Shouka, and Tsu were. If they listened carefully, they would then notice how their body would begin to tense up and actually stay still if successful. This was through the work of a Genjutsu which was correlated through sound. Had they listened to the sound Hotaru and Shouka would feel like death was coming soon, they would literally be shook as things were starting to make a dark turn at this point. (Taka and obelisk can hear the flute as well, and can fall under the genjutsu)

 Up above

 While this happened down below, it was obvious that Taka would be able to see through all of this with his sharingan, but these Bandits were not ordinary as they were much skilled than they expected, they had decided to launch an attack from above as well. If Taka looked closely he would notice there was 2 flying creatures heading his way. Both seemed to be a giant hawks, on one of the hawks a shinobi was noted as he pulled 2 Kunai’s from his pouch and threw them directly towards Taka and Obelisk, on the Kunai’s were explosive tags. The direction in which the Kunai’s travelled was to pass by Taka and obelisk’s left and right side, in a sense to corner them. The moment they closed in their proximity the tag would begin to ignite and explode upon reaching them. This was an attempt to separate the team and individually attack them. This group of bandits were just people who pretty much waited for an opportunity to strike new comer’s their goal was to kill extract the goods and leave the dead bodies behind unless they had something special on them.

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Taka and Obelisk would receive burn’s on their body from the explosion which had just come their way. Not to mention this would result in Taka’s summoning being damaged would more than likely result in it being turned into a cloud of smoke. That happening would result in both Taka and Obelisk falling in the sky, more than likely separating them as this was the goal. As for Shouka and Hotaru they would be faced with the Paralysis Genjutsu as the flute player would continue to play different melodies hopefully digging deeper into their minds so that the games could truly begin. The mist making this much harder to notice, the combination was flawless between these 4 shinobi’s and if the other group noticed, they could easily tell they had experience working as a team. How would the team respond? Tsu was terrified and already shook by the genjutsu as she wasn’t a shinobi, all she could do was stand there in fear as she had no idea what to actually do. She wanted to run, but she felt like if she did, she would instantly be killed. What would be the group's response to this conjunction of attacks? (Note all of this happened during the same time span, meaning the assault from above happened the moment the assault from below began.)
