Rena would get into a fighting position, gripping her staff. Only then did their sensei appear, seemingly from out of nowhere. The snakes. He was speaking of the snakes. There was lingering dread in her heart; these snakes were definetely... they were going to be dangerous. Fear pricked in her heart like thorns.

They were supposed to meet at the entrance in fifteen minutes. She was already ready, weapons-wise.

However, being ready physically and being ready mentally were two different things.

And yet, she'd follow her sensei closely, not needing to restock. She had decided to trust him. In the end, he was strong. Not only that but he was a shinobi of the Leaf. Besides, she'd probably end up being his student for a long enough time to bond further than the shaky trust she had now; she needed to re-assert that bond by trusting. If she stepped on that battlefield with the doubt of her allies, she'd die. They'd die.

And so, with a clear, long breath, she removed all of the doubt from her mind. "I'm ready."

Those words were her strength. In truth, she wasn't fully ready. But nobody was ever fully ready to face a life-threatening situation. Despite the fear, she wouldn't falter.
