There was no tree in the center of the village, nor was it on the border of the village. Akui had elected to go outside of the village to climb into a tree just to get a better vantage point rather than stay inside of the village. At least he was high up enough that he wouldn't be attacked directly. And that firefly was something. But Akui had the option to GET BACK INSIDE OF THE VILLAGE AND USE A WATCHMAN'S TOWER THAT HAD EVEN FOOTING ON IT RATHER THAN SIT IN A TREE.

This was because, while he was outside, the sound of panting and snarling could be heard from below. While a normal wolf could jump between six and ten feet into the air to catch fleeing prey, these dire wolves had the ability in them to scale as much as thirty feet in a single bound, just to shake the tree and claw bark away from it. Again, they were Omegas so they were no real threat, but if Akui remained, their harried barking and snarling would attract other wolves, and might result in the village being attacked.

Cut back to what Michirama suggested to Bofu and when they were all planning to set up to stand guard inside of the village. Bofu looked down at Michirama and gave a slow now, "If you are so deadset on your path, I will help you. My insects will help out."

Bofu would turn and motion for Michirama to follow, leading him outside where Bofu would crouch down and use chakra to push out into the ground around him. It was like a signal. Bugs from all over would be crawling toward his hand and he would look for another monarch butterfly in particular, lifting his hand up and looking at the butterfly. "I would like your help. The help of your friends too." He would send his arm upwards, letting the monarch fly off for a couple of minutes before it would return with about three dozen more monarchs.

In that time, Bofu lifted his hands out, showing off the white worm looking insects on his hands. They were from inside of his body, Shokaichu. "Carry these children of mine. Scatter them around the forest toward the mountain.  Then come back for another round and a third one. Thank you very much."

This would happen over the next twenty minutes, the monarchs landing on the Shokaichu and carrying them off to be placed around the forest and they would burrow in, setting up a surveillance network to relay their chakra back to Bofu. If they needed to, they would communicate with worms or centipedes, which would get to Bofu to inform him of what the situation was. "We will know by morning where their den is. I want you to talk to me about the plan more while we wait for wherever your gung ho friend went off to." He motioned to the empty watch tower, the spot that was the highest point inside the village and the proper location to survey from.

Back to Akui. There was a chance that maybe it was all a hallucination. Those barkings and clawings against the tree? Were they really happening? That firefly from earlier had flashed with a strange light, would Akui have noticed?

Back in the village, Bofu took it upon himself to set up in the watch tower, bringing Michirama with him so that he could work on the first watch of observing the land around him.

"Where is that fool?"
