Jyn's guidance led the group of samurai straight through the twisting woods and finally at the gates of the village. It was a tediously long route but the scholar made sure to memorize it. The moment the illusions faded Ranmaru took an astonished gasp at the size of it. "Oh my! I would have thought the ninja would have made more modest abodes, given their whole name and aesthetic is based upon stealth." He said, unknowingly mocking the scale of ninja villages. The village by appearances seemed to rival the largest city in the land of Iron, which was where the royal clans resided! For the location to be inhabited by a bunch of ninjas both wealthy and poor was astonishing to someone like him. He was certain that Sumire would also be surprised, but given that cat girl lived in all sorts of environments, she would probably be the most adaptable. Still, they didn't come here for sight seeing. The group was on a mission, and it was about time they got back to it.

As they made their way through, for Sumire to become increasingly nervous was an understatement. She did a half run to get to Ranmaru's side because she knows that he hated being by her so she does her best to keep her distance but there was something urgent she needed to tell him. Out of the ninja's ears, she leaned in for a whisper, "We need to be careful. Whoever made this, I won't be able to Kai all of us out easily." Sumire was in awe of the power and creativity of the illusions that were placed here. Just as fast as the teen caught up, she stopped in her steps and let Sei catch up and relayed the same message to Sei. Better safe than sorry. Maybe they should stick together just in case to get out quickly as needed. Her purple hues glanced towards Ranmaru as she mentally sighed in her mind. Of course, he was going to complain. Sumire's muscles were tense and ready to go at a moment's notice as they approached before the gates. Strong and confident showing, her hands rested in front of her torso in a formal way as she kept towards the back of the group slightly.

Jyn interpreted Ranmaru's statement to be a compliment and smiled briefly before returning to their commonly stoic, slightly concerned expression. "Yes, well, after rebuilding Konoha from its ashes, there was no reason to not make improvements or to take in other refugees. We have grown quite a bit in the last few years. Still, we have never encountered these Yokai, to my knowledge. Lady Hokage Lahlil will be interested to hear about these creatures, I suspect." They walked up and explained that their business was to see the Lady Hokage and debrief their mission. Jyn waited for the guard to report back to whomever was necessary, leaving Jyn to wonder if the Hokage herself would make an appearance or if they would be allowed entrance.

The moment that the NEARLY SEVEN FOOT TALL lizard woman went through the gate Saburo left out the longest of sighs. He honestly had no freaking clue what she was doing here but if it was with director Soga than he didn't want to know. The less giant monster that stared at him hungrily the better.
And speaking of things getting in his hair, it seems that his work as gate guard wasn't quite done. Soon after Lady Sadayo and her group would enter there came another. This one a collection of people who didn't at all recognize. More interestingly none of them seemed to be carriers of the usually merchant supplies. Were it not for Jyn leading the front Saburo might have taken a more abrasive attitude with the newcomers, instead the boy simply swiped his hand along a seal on the wall and nodded politely to the group. "Welcome to Konohagakure, please enjoy your stay." The seal that the man had activated would do nothing more than capture a still image of everyone who passed through the gate.
Why again were they doing this? Their mission wasn't to establish relations it was to kill Yokai. She was getting paid to kill yokai. She was getting paid to keep these two from ending up getting spit roasted by a spear. So despite how much she really didn't like this idea, she went along with it. One way or another she was going to get her pay. However as she walked the road she felt a sudden drop in her chakra. A large one at that. Sensory barrier? Dojutsu observation? Instinctively her body reacted. Her physical body disappeared from view, followed immediately by her scent, tracks, everything. She quite literally disappeared from existence in a sense. However as cautious as she was, she was cunning. A chance to infiltrate a shinobi village and actually test her abilities was something she was hard pressed to pass up. Plus if this didn't work out, she would be able to at least gather some intelligence for the effort. Passing through the gate, unnoticed (approved by eva) she followed the trio into the village, making mental notes as she went.

โข Jammer: When sensory abilities or Dojutsu that would detect the user as a target are utilized within the same topic as the user this ability takes effect. Chakra is automatically deducted from the userโs pool equal to the rank of the sensory technique to allow the user to avoid detection. If a dojutsu is the cause of detection, the user pays the cost of the targets body rank instead. This effect remains active one post for every other body rank ( D,B,S )
Jutsu used: โฐ Hunter's Cloak | Rank C-A | Spiritual The user creates a chakra cloak that surrounds their person and causes them to vanish from sight.

Pineapple Dead Man Walking
... I am the Serpent ...
Tap. Tap. Tap. He traversed the path of winding bamboo and forestry, raven black hair and amber eyes donned in a vibrant red kimono. He carried a large scroll tucked at the small of his back hanging from black silken rope with a curious pineapple nestled beside the scroll, wrapped with a cotton sash around its neck into a bow. "Geniki," the strange man said with a smile as he rounded a bend to a place familiar to him "It has been a long walk, but I think we're here." he rolled his shoulders with an exasperated sigh and groaned aloud, stretching as he did so. "Got a hell of a crick in the neck though."
I wonder how she's doing... Pineapple thought with a corner of his mouth in a smirk, adjusting the silken rope over his shoulder with one hand and continued his trek. It had been a year since he last visited the leaf, the new leaf village that was. He scanned the surrounding foliage and stopped, remembering the path he took before and failing. "Gikikiki..." The pineapple shook slightly with a chirping sound and the man stopped walking abruptly.
"Oh?" Others had been through the area, recent enough to have caught Geniki's interest but not so it knew who or how many. The man turned his head, listening to the chirps of the fruit and adjusted his plans accordingly. Now he turned back and redoubled on his trail to instead take another route to his intended destination. Something arrived before he had and given his official status, there was only so much the lady's official decree could do. But, not wanting to chance familiar faces seeing his own, he had a route through the bamboo forest that would take him to the same location just as quickly, if a bit more rough and off the beaten trail.
Closer to the spot he got, he seen one of the rites used in the village's defense and he smirked Smart lad, that uzumaki.. He reached his destination, a cluster of trees with a rock in the middle in the forest some hundred feet away from the main path, a place he and the kage determined to be his point of contact. The man with a practiced hand reached onto the rock and his other placing a scroll in which it unraveled. His presence would already signal those within the but he too far for the village reveal itself to him with its genjutsu defenses.
A surge of chakra left the man's finger tips as he pressed down onto the parchment, other hand maintaining a hand seal with index and middle fingers extended, rest curled. Communication technique, a simple jutsu in practice -- connect two scrolls with a link to send a message. And his message was sent straight to the Hokage herself. "How's it feel to love the dead? Ya got a spook at your gate, lass."
The message was a product of his cheeky humor and cryptic tone, but short enough to get her attention. He dismissed the jutsu then, rolling the scroll closed and sat on the rock with a yawn. The pineapple wobbled against him again, chirping and the man looked back behind him with a side glance then returned his gaze back in front of him, his back to the village proper. It was his own rule to wait a bit whenever he made a trip to the village, paranoia was always rampant and for good reason. The pineapple's chirp was just it reacting to other things in the village which he come to expect -- though it was handy to know when the patrols moved on by. He blew at a lock of hair dangling in his face, now bored with the waiting game.

Unbeknownst to poor little Zahara there would be no response direct response from Lahlil. Upon dismissal the communication scroll, a seal would engrave itself upon a near by tree that then projected a much tinier, pixelated version of Lahlil blowing a kiss with hearts. A auto tune of her voice followed quickly after, triggered by the first seal activating:
You've reached the Hokage's office! Sorry I can't come the communication scroll right now but I'm probably in my office right now and I'm sure that whatever I'm doing is at least a 9 out of 10 on my busy scale. If you like though you may feel free to come in and request a meeting with me in the village! xoxo
Having played out it's response the message sputtered out and left Zahara alone in his contemplative self.
Or did it?
Out of the corner of his eye the snake sage would see a small chest sitting in plain sight underneath a tree. The piece couldn't and been larger than his head and was relatively plain with the exception of a plain pink heart on it's front.

Pineapple Dead Man Walking
... I am the Serpent ...
A chuckle came from the man at the automatic notice nearby, a smile then that broke the stoic expression he held. It figured she was busy at the moment, but he rose up from where he sat and stowed away the scroll he had used earlier in his coat. "Ah well, I can be patient. It's only been a year, right?" Zahara joked to himself with a small smile still and crossed his arms, about to just pass into a slumber for a short nap. But not more than a minute, Geniki chirped once and woke him up. "Hm?"
The pineapple Geniki shifted in its resting place but didn't chitter but, wobble. He paused for a moment and shifted his gaze to the dead drop, the kage's usual spot for things when the scroll didn't help.
"Well, Geniki. What could this be?" He exclaimed with an approach to the hidden container, reaching in with his left hand and drug it out in full view. It was small, and painfully obvious it was meant to be found with the obnoxious heart on it. I still don't like pink... He brought the container back to his rock, sat out and placed the chest at his feet and he tapped it with one foot and opened it then to reveal its contents. He didn't exactly prefer opening boxes and such with his bare hands anymore if he could... help it.

Kicking open the chest would revealed how shoddily made it was, chest flying off it's hinges and exposing the veil of black void that mystically concealed it's contents. All was quiet for a moment... one.. two...three.. and then BURST! Hundreds of brown fluttering wings spewed from it's contents, their brown insectoid owners immediately turning on the offensive. This exacts numbers would be hard to pin down, but every single one of their tiny little pincers nosed dived their way for Zahara's flesh. The fury in each one's gross little heart was such that, even should the man run, they would chase him down to the ends of the earth. Or perhaps even were he he to travel through some kind of strange portal but who knows anything about that? This is supposed to be a naruto rp!

Features hidden away under cloak and mask, a figure, presumably male by the proportions and gait, made its way through one of the lush forests in the Land of Fire. Any of the village's guards that were no doubt keeping an eye on the unknown wanderer might assume he was lost or simply taking a stroll, but his barely visible eyes would scan the area around as he walked. Every so often, a breeze would briefly expose his bandaged and loosely clothed body, and any particularly observant onlookers could catch a small glimpse of his stump of a right shoulder before he pulled his cloak shut.
tabIndeed there was a a 'village guard's keeping on the man though probably not who he expected. Skin peeling itself free from the tree bark was a woman. Covered in skinned animal's for clothing and standing at a soild nine.. almost ten feet tall. The powerfully built barbarian then crossed the distance between them in a single bound, not showing any hesitation about entering the strangers space in the slightest. Clearly the woman must either be suicidal or have no concerns that he would fight back, likely the latter if her piercing gaze were anything to go by. After a few tense moments were the giantess seemed to be sizing him up the woman spoke. "Konoha, yes?" It was a crude question and one that the woman tried to correct almost immediately. "You.. want enter?" The look on her face was enough to tell anyone watching that the mere thought of having to put together a proper sentence infuriated her to no end.

Without missing a beat as the gargantuan amazon vaulted up in front of him, the man locked eyes, as best he could with such a height difference anyway, and readied his posture into a defensive stance that was mostly concealed by his attire. Waiting and watching for any sign of aggression on her part, he was instead met with words. Inquisitive words, at that. Still untrusting, though she seemed to mean no harm for the moment he knew all too well that could change in an instant, he replied quite simply in a coarse weary voice, "Yes."
tabNodding as if this answer pleased her the woman looked up into the air staring at nothing but the treetops blowing in the wind. She was silent for a long, much longer than what one could consider social acceptable in fact. Then at once her face became troubled, a struggle with something else this clearly out of place barbarian couldn't quite grasp? Whatever the case the woman thundered her reply. "Hokage.. b-busy. You want you go through village while wait? Follow." For whatever reason the woman by now was even more angry than when she began, so much so that she refused to wait for any kind of response. Instead charging off rather rudely torwards what was supposedly the gates of the village?
It may have been a little rough of a welcome but assuming the man would follow her then he would indeed find that she had at least been telling the truth and brought him right to the gates of Konohagakure. Their red painted fixtures were adorned with hundreds of thousands of fuin inscriptions that layered over each other so much that it was nearly impossible to read the ones below the surface few. Once the pair reached the gate doors the giantess motioned that the man was welcome to enter though she spoke no words.

Following closely behind the woman while maintaining a reasonable distance, the man would go with her wherever she decided to lead within the village.
Curiosity killed the cat, in this case the pineapple. The realization set in with the danger of the chest the moment he heard the sharkskin pineapple chitter alive with an erratic rhythm. A vantablack void peered back at the man for a moment and he already scrambled up and away from the chest. A well disciplined danger sense of his senjutsu training warned him of unexpected surprises and the crack and pop sound of time-space ninjutsu was all apparent. Insectoid swarms of... locusts? Scarabs? Hornets? converged together and poured out of the container as the devil's clown box. For a moment Zahara considered unveiling the sharkskin in its true and terrible form but he had another plan that wouldn't compromise the innocent pineapple's rest.
He didn't like bugs very much and these blasted little... flies of hell were just contributing to his dislike all the more. The options of defending himself flew through his head, but he didn't want to stir up too much trouble this close to the village. The flying swarm was indiscernible in number, to a point that he feel he would need his bloodline to peer through their collective but would be unneeded.
"Hoo boyo, what in the hell..." was all Zahara was saying as he stepped back and over the rock he sat on. Geniki kept its chittering alarm, getting louder and louder over the humming buzz the insects gave off. With a practiced hand, he held a hand sign and jumped back two feet as the insects gathered near him. Wind chakra circulated around his palms as the flames of another ability came alive and he released an orb of ninjutsu into the mass of bugs. With his korabo technique, the mass of chakra was a swirling vortex of hyper condensed wind mixed with a small mote of flame burning at its center.
Zahara jumped back another five feet upon the jutsu conclusion and took cover behind a mess of bamboo with a twist and twirl to his step. "And a la boom~." A snap of his finger and an intense light of fire ignited with the wind gale, releasing the orb as the howling vortex would threaten the entire swarm with the incinerating gale. The wind blew past Zahara's cover, bits of burnt leaves and sticks with a rush of heated air billowed past, chakra visible to the eye shimmered in the air after the explosive conclusion.
Zahara twirled back out of cover with his hand dusting off his robe, the scene would be just a blackened crater with the flame jutsu disintegrating the epicenter of the eruption. Geniki chittering slowed to an occasional chirp and he huffed out a sigh of relief. "...Sorry, I rather take bites from only one and she's not a bug."
