Takuza watched the expression on the man in the painting as he lifted his hand as if to say he was over with the conversation. Takuza released a sigh as he figured that would happen, though being cautious was his best option at this specific moment. What was weird though was the situation his shadow clone was in. He had ran after Ryouta but had stumbled across an odd situation instead. During his transition of running towards him, the world would change around the clone and become something completely different. The clone’s Sharingan would observe the area carefully before making any rash decisions. The only thing that could be noted was the fact that the area was a small room with random furniture. Outside it was pitch black as if to say there was no way out if he jumped through the window.

But during his localization and understanding his surroundings before making a move in which could land the clone in a trap. He picked up the piece of paper and flipped it over reading the message on the back of the note. Upon that specific note it read;

‘If you want to go outside and play, first you may or must discuss, or rather do, tell me one single and simple truth. During morning it walks on four legs, during day it walks on two, and at night it walks on three. What is it?’

The shadow clone stood there with a confused look across his face as he was truly attempting to configure what the answer could actually be. Reading the note carefully over and over again, he would not follow the first answer as it was pretty obvious it would be wrong if attempted. Plus he personally could not afford to get the wrong answer due to the fact he had no idea what was planned when he did get the wrong answer. Though it would not matter for the simple fact it was a shadow clone. The clone produced a large gulp sound resembling his nerve wrecked behavior. He then re-read a specific sentence as it to tell it one single and simple truth. It didn’t ask for a legit answer as it even gave the option of not doing so. The clone would then make the attempt and say loudly;

“The question is too broad… How can you expect a question like that to be answered? There are many species in the world in which that answer cannot be answered. There are too many answers, which is simply nothing but the truth! The only truth I have.”

The clone said hopping it was the correct answer, if not he would prep himself for whatever was to come down his path.

As for the real Takuza he stood by Yasu and Ringo and kept a calm expression across his face attempting to analyze the entire situation. Literally they were not safe and he had to find Ryouta soon. He looked towards Yasu and noticed her determined look, he also personally hoped Ringo would also be determined to continue and solve this one labyrinth. Takuza sighed once more in a more frustrated tone as he was running out of time and said;

“We have no choice, I want you guys to stay close to me at all times… I can’t seem to feel any genjutsu so this place is playing tricks on us. I also have not felt my clone disperse so in that regard I have no idea where he is, but I do still feel his presence. So for now we will move ahead on my go.”

He continued forward looking for a way to find Ryouta as he was running out of time.
