“What a strange contraption.” Thought Azel after they found the odd apparatus with some cracks in the bottom that didn’t give the Chunin any good feelings in particular. To him this was a no-go route of incredible risk. He had never seen such a contraption and everything smelled like a trap in the making to him, not in the least the slight rumbling sounds. “Were there any strings being pulled?” He wondered as he ran his hand over the cavern walls to look for any unnatural irregularities. Tarou had pointed out something rather perceptive in the source of luminescence spilling through the cracks. But then….

Hanzo vanished into the abyss just as Azel glanced back to the group. Instinctively, Azel dashed over and dropped to his knees with his hand in rapid descent as if going to reach down through the spot where Hanzo had seemingly disappeared. But then Azel’s hand stopped in hesitation. He noticed something there. A presence within the darkness. Something, or rather… someone was still there…. “Hanzo?” But the shade took off and rapidly departed the scene.

“For a genin to know of such a unique Jutsu… just who exactly is he?” Azel wondered as he got back to his feet while feeling slightly embarrassed. His mind quickly focussed on the job at hand once more. “I will look for another way in while Hanzo is gathering intel.” Azel said to Kin before leaving the group to search the cavern for another path. Rather than using a torch and possibly giving his location away, Azel held his hand on the cavern wall at all times so that he could easily backtrack his path if need be. Furthermore, his fingertips were far better than the soles of his shinobi sandals when it came to picking up on any possible vibrations which could potentially precede the event of another rumbling sound.

He moved quickly, aiming to return by the time Hanzo did. Hopefully having found them a safer path. For now, Azel had to remain aware of his surroundings and possible danger as he moved further into the darkness.
