Tiatsu had decided to return back to the the meeting point, as for Shien and Ren they were walked and shien seemed interested in asking the older man a few questions only to be stopped by Ren. This resulted in them heading towards the plume of smoke which had been the Inn Tiatsu had set ablaze. Ren and Shien would arrive to notice many village members and a few shinobi's of this land acting to stop the fire. After a few minutes of the flame roaring it was stopped, then the corpses were dragged out of the Inn as 15 individuals had died. All of them burned beyond recognition, Shien and Ren would find no leads to their 'higher up.' Not to mention Tiatsu was nowhere in sight, but this was related to him, they wouldn't be able to know he caused it, but what were the odds of this happening randomly? If it connected in Shien and Ren's head they would result in heading towards the meeting point to only find Tiatsu waiting for them.

Had these events occured it would result in them being able to continue the mission as Tiatsu had information that might of been useful had they all brought their information together and pieced it out. After it was all said and done, the team would have to settle for heading towards the northwest section of the land of sound. Coming close to the border specifically. They would need to travel through a forest to actually arrive at their destination, but after about 2 hours of running through the forest, it would seem as if they would be running in circles. This would be very subliminal as it would be very dificult to even notice at first. Had the team come to a stop and looked around, they would be able to look around and memorize the scene before running once more. Only those who paid close attention to their surroundings would be able to notice the similarities in the path they were running down. Had someone been able to figure this out, they would need to think of a way to deal with it. More than likely the leader of the pack would be able to pick up what was going on, after all he was the most experienced out of the 3. This was a basic genjutsu, one that allowed the mind to be believe they were making progress, but instead would be running circles. It was the Sly mind affect technique, had it worked successfully it would delay the team greatly. Something to note was that since the location was heavily guarded there are patrols of guards walking around the forest.

This would result in the team needing to respond fast before the guards came and crossed their paths while under a genjutsu. Had they been able to break out of the said Genjutsu, they would be able to continue the trip forward, but they needed to tread carefully, as sounds of people walking around their perimeter would become more aparant. After all the Genjutsu attempted to take place when they closed in on the headquarters, attempting to throw them off course and get caught. This was a simply Genjutsu to keep many people away, it was constantly used as not many would realize they were in a genjutsu when lurking around here. In a sense it was like a line of defense apart from teh guards patrolling the area, to regular people this would be a lethal combo, but for trained shinobi's it wouldn't be as hard to combat this. Once they had finished this and were able to slip through the guards and not create a ruckus, they would arrive at the outter wall of the headquarters, they needed to be careful and avoid being caught. In all reality this was a perfect situation for someone like Tiatsu, his set of Jutsu's made this entire situation childsplay, but what would Ren and Shien do? Would they attempt to sneak in, or would they resort to hiding and waiting for Tiatsu? The choice was entirely theirs, but both held consequences. Keep in mind the guards are patrolling constantly so standing around will get you caught, the team needed to act quick.
