Shien's comment caused him to chuckle "Hows things pincushion?" While he had lost the spar, he wasn't the one who had been made to resemble swiss cheese in the end. Bofu also seemed as stoic as always but that was fine, he seemed to acknowledge the new blade and that was all that mattered in the exchange. The girl he'd never  met before wouldn't great him but her dog would, he was being sniffed, Michirama would hold out a hand and would, if he was allowed, scratch the dog under the chin a few times "Hey buddy". And with the greetings out of the way, Bofu ushered them all onwards.

As they wandered, Shien began to explain the intricacies of the mission and his plan to accurately draw a map of the land of fire. When he mentioned that all they'd be doing would be walking around the entire border of the land of fire, Michirama laughed. "That's no easy feat Shien, we'll be out here for a few days if you want to properly graph everything" Despite this, he was interested to see the Great Scar, everyone had read about it but not many had actually been there, it would certainly be enlightening.

Soon enough they entered an open field, tall grass hid the dangers below and thin spindly trees attempted to grow here. Every now and there he would be able to spot the ruins of a building. Eventually, Bofu explained that a village was once here, but has since become a den to wild beasts. It was shame really. Not one to really take chances, Michirama drew his katana as they walked deeper into the depths of the field. The gold kanji for "Forge Onwards" was quite clear on its dark steel blade. Soon enough there would be rustling ahead of them. Saishu seemed to jump the gun, throwing a kunai in the direction of the noise instead of waiting to see what it really was. Michirama activated his chakra sensing technique, the rage of which now reached 60 meters all around him, on top of that his eyes would also be able to SEE chakra, and since every living thing had chakra he would soon enough know what was in that bush.
