When the third and final member of her team arrived, Aurora waved him good morning. "Hey, nice to meet ya. I'm Aurora!" After their brief hellos, Ken'ichi went on to explain the course of their mission. They were headed to the Land of Sky, which was within Kirigakure's range of influence, assuming it was still around. Aurora knew all about Kirigakure, her Uncle was the damned Lord 4th after all, she'd heard the war stories a hundred times over when she was younger. Though it was hard to tell what was true and what was an exaggeration to make himself look cool. Aurora nodded when Ken announced they would be in the Manji Formation and took her spot on his right-hand side. Once they were ready the team set off at a pretty good pace.

Four hours passed as they travelled further and further away from the village. Aurora had been keeping her breathing steady, her balance of Senjutsu chakra was still hard to maintain for the time being, and being out in nature just meant her body had more chance to passively absorb the Natural Energy around them. At around the four-hour mark, a fog began to sweep over them and there was an audible crack of a twig being broken as if it had been stepped on. Ken'ichi called for a halt and began the use of his sensory technique, she'd seen it used once before when the pair had had their spar. She made a mental note to learn that technique. Aurora waited patiently, quietly even for Ken'ichi's order, she took a crouched position and rested her right hand on the loop of her Fuma Shuriken that hung over her left shoulder. She was ready, at Ken'ichi's word she would go on the assault, or if they had to, she'd be ready to drop back. For now, she'd refrain from using her sage mode, relying only on her skill with shurikenjutsu. "Anything?"
