Goru was charmed by Tarou’s actions, there was just something about his energy that rubbed off on him right. He smirked lightly, but at the same time, he also disliked Zhiro cause of his approach and demands. He raised an eyebrow before making a ‘Snork’ sound which initiated a laughter. He then stopped looking at Tarou especially and said;

“I like you kid, I will take you guys over to the Land of Demons. Just try to teach your buddy some manners. I almost didn’t give you guys the ride because of it.”

Akihiro had then been summoned back to Konoha which left only Tarou and Zhiro for the mission. This was odd… a B rank mission being performed by 2 genin? Well, soon enough they would come to find out why Akihiro was returned to Konoha. Regardless of that factor, now the three were on the boat heading towards the Land of Demons. The waters were gentle as they swayed the boat back and forth. Nothing was out of the ordinary, maybe here and their things seemed iffy, almost as if an ambush was being plotted. But nothing happened luckily, after a long boat ride, they would eventually arrive at the temple they were destined to reach. Though they were dropped off at the base of the Island. Goru spoke forth and said when dropping them off;

“That's as far as I can take you, boys. I wish you guys luck on your journey.”

Shortly after Goru would ride off, but somehow a pouch with silver coins would appear on his main desk. Confused, but not stupid Goru took the coins and rode off into the distance. That being said, Tarou and Zhiro were left completely alone… Or were they? From the evergreen forest, a silhouette from the shadows would slip into sight out of nowhere. A man with glasses, yet a very tall figure would show himself. If Zhiro and Tarou remembered their Clans and the lords. They would instantly know this face, this man was none other than Arata Aburame. He spoke forth and said;

“Ohhhhh I see you guys arrived just on time! I thought you two would be a byproduct of Children these days. Never committing to waking up early. But let us continue, if you wish to know who I am… My name is Arata Aburame, I am your leader from this point on as Akihiro has been withdrawn for specific reasons.”

He tipped his head to them as shortly after, they would be on their way through the heavily dense forest. In the distance, a pyramid-like structure could be noticed. Was that the temple? Soon they would find out, but until then they had to continue traveling and follow Arata. After all, he was in charge, but where would this all lead too in the long run? Though as they walked through the forest, they would feel as if eyes were on the trees, merely watching them carefully. Almost like a prey to a predator, but would anyone speak on it?

(PS: Feel free to ask Arata questions now.)
