Finally the three young shinobi had arrived at Kusagakure, the village at the moment seemed a bit empty as not many people could be noted to be walking by. Civilization was decreasing in this village and anyone who took a good look and noticed the time would be able to tell. As the three seemed to get well acquainted and familiar with each other, a singular figure would be watching them from a distance. He seemed a bit paranoid, different than most of the villagers as he seemed like a spy. He remained hidden and watched the three carefully from his position which was north east, the whispers flooding his mouth as he said in a very low tone “C-c-c-could those be the saviors?” He snapped at himself and replied to the question “Yeah… I think so, maybe I should approach them…” Then another snap in his personality occurred “n-n-n-nah ima wait longer… I don’t trust them.” He stood there with the black hooded cloak over his body which kept his image dark. If any of them paid attention carefully they would be able to notice someone watching them.

 

The boy brought his hands up and began chewing on the skin of his fingers, the edges to be exact as he was anxious and showed clear signs of mental disorders. He began to replay words in his mind “Dark cave, team, vanished, lost, and darkness.” Was all he repeated like a traumatized broken record. Though it can be easy to notice this man spying on them, it could easily be disregarded as there was still civilians walking by minding their business. Each of which seemed to act like nothing had happened. In reality Kusagakure seemed peaceful, but deep down inside it was more corrupt and distorted than anything else, it was up to these Genin to figure out what was going on and find the previous recon team.

Dynamic choice: Realize the individual who is watching the group and chase him down for information.

Let it blow over and find any other clues by asking random people walking around for more information on what has been going on.

At this point depending on what the team decided as their form of approach, the young man who was spying on them would end up running deeper into the alleyway. If they had decided to chase him, they would realize the alleyway was extremely tight and hard to enter all at once meaning to chase this individual they would need to enter in a straight line and follow one behind the other. The alleyway being about 3-4 feet wide, but if they decided to talk to civilians around the village, the spy with potential information on the mission would escape and their chance of getting closer to cracking the case would vanish. But there was a chance that a civilian would give them information they wanted. It was the group's choice overall, but they had to choose wisely as this was the first clue of the mission.
