As she was reading the map and Zaiko heeded her suggestion, Shien would ask about helping with the map. “Oh right! I forgot you liked maps, here.” She’d lower it for Shien so he could read it and map out details of his own as Zaiko shouted out which route they should take. “The left route, hm? Let’s go then!” she’d smile brightly at her students and let Shien keep the map as she  walked ahead of them with her usual jolly expression as they walked the rest of the left path with ease.

They walked about 25 kilometers more till they arrived at the Land of Earth border, Itsuki took this time to tell her kiddies it was time to rest. “Alright everyone, lunch break! I’m sorry it took a while, I wanted to make sure we were safe.” She’d explain, giving them a nervous smile as her stomach grumbled. Sure they hadn’t exerted a lot of energy, but surely they’d be hungry. Itsuki took out a scroll and unsealed her lunch that consisted of sushi and some chicken. She took a seat on the ground began to eat, after about 30 minutes of rest, they would head out again. Her cheerful nature had yet to falter as she hummed to herself.

They were so close to Suchiro town, she could feel it! The terrain to Suchiro town was pretty rocky and mountainy, which was in her favor since she was skilled with earth release. Itsuki would tell her students to pick up the pace as they jogged for a few minutes to get their blood pumping before walking the rest of the way. An hour later, they’d come across another narrow path on a slanted mountain. Itsuki bit her lip as she considered her choices. They had to be discreet with their efforts, but she could easily find a safer path but would add more time to their adventure. Itsuki would look over at Zaiko, “Do you mind checking the path ahead for us please?” she’d ask, if he wasn’t already. Once and if he looked and warned them about anything, she’d scratch the back of her head.

“Well…I’m not about to risk anything…let’s take the long path and run a bit more. We’ll have the same distance and possibly avoided anymore dangers.” She’d explain, before looking at Shien. “Can you find an alternate route for us to take hun?” she’d ask. Once Shien did, they’d head down the alternate route. They were to be discrete on their mission after all; there was no use in causing a disturbance.
