The first to arrive was Shoka, one of Takahiro's secret elites in the making. He waved casually to the boy as he approached "Morning Shoka, first mission for you if my records are right yeah?" he would punch Shoka's shoulder jestingly before standing up straight, Obelisk and Hotaru only now coming into view further up the street. "You'll be fine Shoka, I'll be keeping an eye on you" He grinned, for a moment he gave off an older brother vibe as opposed to a Clan Lord vibe. Once Hotaru and Obelisk approached he would wave, though it was mostly to Hotaru, his eyes fell on Obelisk and boy did he look unimpressed but the momentarily look of loathing quickly faded and he smiled "Morning lovebirds" He said jokingly "Looks like we're all here, guess we're just waiting for the  Researcher" He leant back against the wall and waited, it was a few minutes until she finally arrived.

Takahiro had been expecting an elderly man as their researcher and was (pleasantly) surprised to see that it was a rather attractive young woman. When she asked if they were her escorts he kicked up from the wall and approached, naturally taking charge "Morning, that's us" The woman introduced herself as Tsuki after making it very clear that she refused to fly.  Thats a pain he thought to himself. "Nice to meet you Tsu, my name is Takahiro Uchiha, this is Hiroshoka Uchiha, Hotaru Hyuga and Obelisk Rinha. We'll make sure no harm comes to you during the mission" He pointed to everyone as he said their names, pausing to allow them to properly introduce themselves before calling the next name. One the formalities were done he would clap his hands and grin.

"SO" He said loud enough to gain the attention of anyone not paying attention "You refuse to fly Tsu? Thats okay" He assessed the team before speaking up "We have two Dojutsu users on the team so it's wise that if we split up we should have one on each group. Since Tsu doesn't wish to fly we'll have two groups, one for ground escort and another in the air for a birds-eye view of a wider area, that way we can be aware of any obstacles further ahead and avoid them, things like rivers and canyons." He would pause to see if there were any objections. He seemed naturally calm when it came to taking charge of teams.

If nobody objected he would create the seals for the summoning jutsu twice. The first time he summoned a regular sized Bald Eagle which looked at Takahiro with a quizzical look. "Stay with them, relay any messages to wedge if there is trouble on the ground, he'll tell me and we can regroup" The Bald Eagle would nod and spread its wings before landing on Shoka's shoulder. The second summoning had to be done outside of the gates as it was a giant Wedgetailed Eagle with a wingspan of 40ft or more that appeared. He preened himself lazily before speaking "Young Uchiha, need a lift again?" Taka nodded "Cheers Wedge" and hopped up onto the back of wedge, concentrating chakra into his feet so he could stand easily. "Obelisk or Shoka, one of you guys come with me, the other two go with Tsu, we'll stay above you and never stray too far. If you got radios set 'em up" He would wait for whoever was coming with him to hop on to Wedge's back. Once everyone was set Wedge would take off with a large beat of his wings rising higher and higher, Takahiro would activate his Sharingan once in the air so he could keep track of the rest of the party.

The journey was underway, only time would tell if it went well.
