As the team made their move Ranta adressed them regarding the recent events. He apologised for doing the unthinkable but assured them that he did it so that they could carry on. Naraku seemed to completely accept the apology, going so far as to speak for the rest of the team as if he knew what they were thinking. Takahiro frowned at him before reluctantly placing his hand into the fist bump Ranta was offering "Its fine. I understand why it was done. Its terrible but ... thats life I guess." He would look up to his sensei as their fists met. Until tonight he had looked upon Ranta with admiration, a beacon of courage and something to strive to be equal to but now. Now Takahiro didn't know what he saw. ''I'll fix this. Everything. I'll become strong enough that I can bring peace. ''He thought to himself, finally forging his dream for the future. A future of peace. He just didn't quite know how to bring peace to the world, but he will one day.

He shook his head, clearing his mind, now was not the time to dwell on things he couldn't change. His team needed him to be at his very best. As they were heading towards their destination a red light shot into the air a good distance off from them. A signal flare. His heart began to race, a red flare met danger, what was the fate of the squad that had fired the flare? Which one was it? Had they been successful at least? He didn't have to worry for now though, Ranta had explained that he had one of his crow clones on route to investigate the sight. ''Good, now we can focus on our mission. I hope whoever fired it is okay.''

After fourty minutes of running with absolutely no encounters Takahiro was becoming nervous. After a moment Ranta called the squad to halt and ordered Narakuto relay what he was seeing back to the squad. It appeared to be a building tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Was this where their target had gone? Before anything could be done about the situation Ranta had picked up on a pair of spider sensors and ordered Naraku to dispose of them. He was impressed by Naraku's use of clones, and it spurred his desire to use his newest technique to show off infront of his squad. He stood anxiously as Ranta began to place bombs on the door leading into the building. Takahiro felt useless at this moment, there was nothing for him to do. He made sure that he was ready for anything however, just incase the squad was attacked.

Ranta would set off the explosion and should Shinra perform the sickle weasel he would make a concerned expression. What if the Kage's daughter was in there? Did they not care for her safety? Regardless, he knew that this was the big moment, all of tonighst events had led to this moment. Whould their target make an appearance or would he perish in the flames caused by the explosion? Taka stood on guard as they waited, his hands ready to fly into hand seals at the drop of a hat.
