He followed Keldran's finger with his eyes before they fell upon the massive Volcano off in the distance. He groaned "Yeah, I had a feeling thats what it was. Thats definately not four hours away. Looks like were in for a rather ... heated adventure. Yeah forget I said that" He couldn't help but laugh at Keldran's comment on Fate "Aye, its a poor twist, can't say i'm overly pleased by it but oh well, should be a test of skill none the less"

As they ran he noticed Keldran briefly lose his footing and while he managed to recover himself Mugen learnt an important fact. As Keldran fell he was briefly faced with a geyser of steam, Mugen noticed that in the seconds leading up to it there was a rumbling underground. He nodded to himself, this new found knowledge would save them in the long run. Once Keldran had caught up he spoke "Oi, keep a feel out for the earth. It rumbles a couple of seconds before steam erupts, if we pay attention we can easily avoid them. I'll guess like maybe five minutes minimum between the bursts, I could be wrong on that, just keep an eye out".

As if to drive his point further, Mugen felt the earth rumble five minutes after Keldran's own encounter. Only a yard ahead of him, the eath began to bulge before bursting. Before he could be caught in it he felt Keldran reach out to him but due to the prior knowledge he was already in the process of moving in the way Keldran was pulling him. He laughed as they kept running "Thanks, I had that, but thanks regardless"

For 45 minutes they continued to run. Mugen would be constantly looking out for rumbling under the earth to be able to predict when the next Geyser erupted. They passed a crossroads, ignoring the footprints that led off into another valley. He figured if other people were here they were probably dead. The finally came to a halt before a large 40 yard wide ravine that dropped into a stream of lava. He looked over at Keldran and listened to his plan, Mugen could easily boost them over the ravine but it would be a waste of chakra. "I absorb Senjutsu naturally whether I want to or not. But in my Sage Mode I expend more chakra than I absorb. Plus, if this a summoning realm, and summonings tend to teach sages, I feel like entering my Sage Mode may act like a beacon. Though maybe i'm being paranoid" He shrugged and motioned for Keldran to carry on. "Your plan sounds good, we'll use your clones as stepping stones and carry on" He noticed the sporadic and unpredictable fountains of lava shooting up from the river below "Keep an eye on those, if it gets too dangerous my hand might be forced and i'll boost us the rest of the way" He would wait for Keldran and would follow him across once he was ready.
