There was something that was off about the forest, something that could only be told of as they reached further within its heart. Ieyasu watched as Rena strayed off trail, seemingly about to hunt some of the deer that were around the area. He had no objection to Rena's request, as his mind was further concerned about the growing cold and the choking humidity. It wasn't natural and it went in hand with the crew getting closer and closer to the mission at hand. Apprehension drew within Ieyasu's mind at the thought of what lied ahead before drawing his eyes to the sight of Rena attempting to suffocate the deer.

He shook his head a little as she came back, scolding her, "We're not even going to be able to eat all of this. Are either of you noticing how much colder it's getting? I don't think it's about the mission, but now's the worst time to just start trying to act like some cool, edgy bitch and waste your chakra like that."

Ieyasu moaned a little, this Rena character just seemed more of a liability than she was an actual help. Despite it being late, he then responded to O's question about food, "Yeah. Set up the fire and get the meat going. We can eat fast, but after we need to go."

Quietly, Ieyasu just stood there for a little bit before beginning to help. It was going to be hard to kindle a fire in this place, but they could get it done. He began by walking to the nearest dear and begin skinning it, afterward taking thin slabs of meat from the hind legs. After a little bit, a small fire would be set up at the side of the road and from there they could begin eating.

By using friction, Ieyasu managed to start a small fire and with just a bit of wind it slowly grew in size until it could accomodate their food. After finishing his, Ieyasu bit down into his food and quickly devoured one of the slabs of deer steak he had made for everyone.

Assuming nothing was changed by this, by the time the crew finished eating and prepared to move back onto the road: A loud roar could be heard. Whatever it was, it was strange and certainly not something that was common within the Land of Fire from what Ieyasu knew. He jolted up as a cautious air began to permeate from him.

"Get up guys, we need to check out whatever that was. Stay close to me and keep an eye out. It might have something to do with the mission."

With that, Ieyasu leapt into the treeline and began to jump tree to tree. His heartbeat quickened as he drew further within, heading towards what monster that they may find. Maybe tracking down an Anbu and getting sensitive info really shouldn't be justified as a B-rank? Maybe they were short-handed on staff? It didn't really matter in the end, because Ieyasu and the others were already on it.
