The contents of the backpack didn't seem entirely important but they did provide some rations in the event this mission took longer than expected. Rena and O both seemed to not have a sense of personal space when Ieyasu was trying to simply look through the bag. He could only sigh as they sifted through the random belongings, watching as Rena took one of the smoke bombs and O took the interesting plastic box. Ieyasu reached out for the journal and took it out, reading the first passage he saw aloud.

With that he closed the journal and tossed it and the nightgown over to Rena while blankly stating, "Sure, but it looks like the girl had to run from someone to drop this. Or worse, not much we can do."

Ieyasu slung the backpack around his shoulders after dusting it off a little, they'd need something to carry the container that they'd also be searching for. Now the trio was off again, heading further down the road. Whenever they crossed paths with the Suna-nin, Ieyasu was to remain silent while Rena agged onto the growing conversation. Elizabeth didn't matter, at least they didn't recieve anything regarding her. Sure, they could try and be good samaritans but more important things were at stake rather than just this one lost girl.

An important scroll with sensitive information, and one of the elite of our village. What if the enemy, Ame, had ambushed the Anbu and was preparing their body for dissection to find out what they could on the village's staple jutsu. Worse yet if it were ninja from a larger country and in turn larger forces that would perhaps be looking at these recent events and exploit them to start a war with an advantage. If Yao Zu was dead in the first place, then that would be another dent in Konoha's power and in turn for the Land of Fire.

. . .

What if it were these shinobi? Paranoia struck at Ieyasu's mind, his grip tightening on the straps of his backpack while trying to maintain composure. Hoping Rena would play into conversating with these shinobi further more, he began to try and scan every little detail what he could of these people. Their faces, their headbands; etc. He did his best to find little discrepancies, anything that might lead to proper suspicion of their character and give reason enough to question what they were doing out here.
