Spazz was moving, and he was moving quick! Luckily for everyone he bounced around from the left to the right while hopping between whatever he could find, even Zeshin’s face on occasion, allowing them to keep up with the surprisingly fast Pug.

They hadn’t travelled for more than a few miles when they finally came upon a fork in the road there the dogs all had to sniff around, obviously excited, but looking as if something was amiss.

“Something smells good!” Shouted spazz. While Ladifah sighed and raised her nose. “I think they’ve left something underground to throw off our scent, we should be able to pick it back up further down the road, but which one?” Jiggu nodded sternly and continued on. “It seems that there’s something hidden below us that makes us smell our favorite foods no matter how hard we sniff. A common ploy against Ninken. Best thing to do is split up and move on.”



Zeshin nodded to the dogs and motioned for Ladifah to come with him. “We’ll take the left path, you guys go right.” He said to the Genin while walking off with Ladifah, seemingly without a care in the world about leaving the Genin behind. In truth he knew this was the best way for them to grow. Zeshin stuffed Ladifah in his shirt and bolted off faster than the Genin could realize; leaving them to their own wit and skill.

The right path led down a small valley within the woods as they’d maneuver through a slowly descending path that didn’t seem like it took them down a lot, but after half an hour of walking they could see green hills rise up to their sides; signaling they were indeed going down. Whereas the first part of their route was mildly forested, they were now moving into an extremely forested area. Overhead they’d see a wooden bridge spanning from one Cliffside to the other. And before long they were in a completely different part of the forest. Almost no light found itself capable of piercing through the thick blanket of leaves here and the trees looked to have been misshapen by the lack of light; grown crooked and without many twigs or leaf. Everything just looked lifeless, even the random hog they came across was nothing but skin and bones.

Then, out of nowhere, Spazz picked up the scent again. “This way!” He shouted while going deeper in the forest until they were in so deep that finding their way back would be incredibly hard without the noses of these dogs; there was simply nothing to really indicate how deep they were in the forest or which way to take back. The path they walked on earlier having turned to nothing but raw natures a good while ago.

And that’s when the group would hear something crack in one of the trees to their right. And in the next moment a small hailstorm of Shuriken flew out towards them from all sides. And then four child-sized shinobi leaped from the trees, all wearing phantom-like masks and long dark robes: taking up a square formation around the Genin. (1 being topleft, 2 topright, 3 bottom left, 4 bottom right.)

“Join us or die.” Spoke all four of the strangers in unison.
