After a good five minutes of running (between 2 and 2.5 speed so everyone could keep up, Zeshin not being that much of a Dick.) the Jounin jumped down onto a sandy path that seemingly began in the middle of nowhere. But as they’d walk across the narrow path between both trees and bushes,  dodging some overgrowing roots here and there,  they’d start to see bits and pieces of a house in the distance that was hard to make out because of the forests density.

As they came closer, they’d see what looked like a cozy wooden house. A plume of smoke came from the chimney and helped spread the scent of grilled beef throughout the air around; easy to pick up for those outside.

“Obaa-san should be waiting for us inside, shall we?”

As they approached, anyone interested could see a fenced garden behind the house where some grumbling sounds were heard; but there was nothing to immediately be seen from where they were walking.

Zeshin knocked twice on the door that seemed to open by itself, but looking down one could see a fluffy pink poodle that greeted them with a happy bark and scurried off inside. “Come on in guys!” Said the Namikaze to the rest of his team.

The door led straight into a homely decorated living room where an old lady sat by the fire. Her strict eyes keeping watch over a roasted piece of meat while she was braiding a collar-like item in her hands.

“Howdy granny!”

Zeshin took a seat on the floor beside her and tried to steal a bit of meat bit got  a strict tap on the hand by a tail… that lead up to the old lady? Although dressed in granny clothes and behaving like one, the old ‘woman’ with a otherwise human body fully turned her head to the genin to show that she had the face of a Labrador and the most intriguing set of golden eyes that seemed to see more than just reality.

“Now you see why granny lives here.” Said Zeshin with a compassionate smile. “But I’m sure you guys will be more understanding than some of the others in Konoha.”

Still not having said a word, the old lady dog merely made a grumble in her throat at which three dogs darted down the stairs and sat down in a straight line in front of the Genin; almost like they were military trained.

Zeshin, looking unusually disappointed asked; “Can’t Cerberus accompany us?” But the old lady dog merely shook her head before replying in a beautiful, noble-like voice that ; “Those three Pugs are all I can miss right now. But their noses are even better than the three of Ceberus.”

And Zeshin looked more than pleased with that answer. Looking at a black pug with white dots that sat in front of Dante; it looked a tad too serious for such a flat faced little dog. “That’s Jiggu, said the old lady dog.” Then turning to the unusual pug with bright eyes and yellow fur down which ran a black line which extended over its forehead and stopped in an arrow-point-shape between its eyes; this one looking seriously ready to get going already from how it bounced around. “That’s Spazz.” Lastly  Zeshin was seen eyeing a white pug with beautiful fur who held her nose up as if she was too good to even be sent on a mission. “And that’s Ladifah.”

Zeshin nodded as all of the dogs were introduced and took the scroll from his pocket to summon a long heavy coat from it that didn’t smell like a man had worn it, rather something metallic.

“You sure about this one, Zeshin?” Asked Jiggu with a polite tone, not hiding the fact that he knew who this Jounin was. “It doesn’t smell like anything I’ve--- Ah. I see what you mean. That mixed scent of a group of people who spend a lot of time together.”

Then Ladifah added in “Hmpf, don’t be too narrow-sighted Jiggu” She waddled over to the coat and sniffed. “There’s more information here. They’re hiding somewhere underground in a place where… children? Are being kept.” She was obviously surprised and taken somewhat aback by the scent; even the high and mighty Ladifah felt the urge to help now.

Spazz just began bouncing all over the place, having picked up on all the scents he needed almost immediately when the coat was taken out, and finally just bolted out of the door; expecting Ryouta to follow.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well, that’s our cue then! Thanks granny!” And with that Zeshin moved out, with the other dogs following as soon as their assigned Genin did.
