Tarou wasn't even a second off from his quick fright from the soon to be known leader of their group when he was startled by a cough. Spinning around and jumping back, he saw Hanzo there. Gripping his chest, he exhaled softly before smiling "You guys are gonna give me a heartattack." Smiling quickly, he laughed and then nodded to Hanzo before walking up to him and patting his back gently "Yeah, that's us!" His smile burned bright upon his new comrades when an older shinobi made his appearance. Tarou only frowned as he knew this was his team but it wasn't for doubt, it was because he wished his friend Zhiro was coming along with them but, he shrugged and continued to smile.

Listening to each one of them as Kin finished off with a briefing of their mission, Tarou only nodded as he followed them, sticking in the back for only a few moments before he rushed forward and just hopped around, containing all of this energy in such a small body. "So, you guys hyped for this mission?" Turning himself backwards to face them as he continued to hop backwards on their path "Ready to meet some bad guys?!" He gasped for a second and smirked, remembering back to his other mission he did. The chance to meet Goru, get closer to Zhiro, meet Buggy-Sama! It was great and now it was ready to meet new friends and form new bonds! It was then though that they all took off into a dash towards their destination. The rest of them were much faster than Tarou but he kept along with them as he would try his best.

After 2-3 hours of running and only having minimal breaks if anything, Tarou just stopped as he breathed heavily for a few seconds, putting his hands on his knees and bending down "Whew! You guys sure are fast!" He chuckled as he coughed a couple of times but then stood up and was perfectly alright. Looking off into the distance, he noticed a large tower, hearing some stories of Amegakure being farther off in the distance of Konoha's outskirts, he just smiled to the sight of seeing new things he's never seen before. Looking off to the side as he faced their new path, they had to choose one. Pitch black cave or a spacious field of rocky terrain. Thinking on it logically, the opening could probably be an ambush of sorts...but so could the cave. It was a difficult decision however, Tarou knew he had something up his sleeve in case things went south with the second path. Though, it was going to be a team vote, Tarou spoke up first since he didn't hear anything inside of the cave maybe like others could "I say we go with the cave!" Tarou's senses would have to be on high alert if they went in their since he couldn't see in the dark nor had anything to light ablaze to be able to see but that was besides the case. Looking to the others, he awaited their decisions, especially the two older ones with them Kin and Azel since they've been on more missions than at least Tarou has.
