At least he was clean. Clean and well informed. Well, as informed as you would expect. A simple head count, and it was quite a bit, as well as their routes and habits. Most of the "bodyguard" were thugs and miscreants meant to be meatshields for their patrons, untrained in martial skill or any shinobi arts. Still it wouldn't hurt to plant seeds of deceit within them. Tanji formed his seals for his false sound on lone guards and the heads of wandering patrols, it didn't take much to plant the genjutsu but would serve him immensely soon enough and he highly doubted any were skilled enough to notice it before it was actively used. Tanji could send a mass message to all affected or use a specific sound or voice to those he could see in a decent range. After his seeds planted and a quick recount of the "staff"'s strengths Tanji started making his way back to the room and wasn't surprised when he saw guards posted about in greater number around the room when he noted that the head honcho himself was already conversing with the Commander. A fat and rather ugly man. Crude and vulgar looking, he seemed the type that would need to be monitored and fixed at the Confederacy's discretion. The conversation was civil enough, then the Commander directed the piggish man to speak with Kanata. Tanji raised a brow, but just nodded to his 2 allies and made his way to sit behind the Boss and formed seals hidden under his bathing towels for false sound and placed them on the Boss and Kanata. A little trick he found when working a diplomacy scandal with the 11th, a psuedo-one-way-telepathy that worked on only those he could actively see, or simply for all those within range if no unwanted listeners were affected. A bit limited but it allowed him to relay information to his comrades without the chance of being overheard. [color=f7941d][i]'Boss and comra- er, Kanata'[/i][/color] remembering her desire to be less formal,[color=f7941d] [i]'Don't be alarmed, just wanted an easier and more discrete method of communication with you. It is only one way, and your mind is still your own, but I made this especially weak and can be dispelled with a simple thought if you do not like it. If you wish me to keep using it, roll your right shoulder,'[/i][/color] He waited for a reply. He would continue with the report of enemy number and limited capability. [color=f7941d][i]'Do you receive? Shrug for affirmative, remain still for negative.'[/i][/color] He did admit it was a bit jarring to suddenly hear a voice from nothing, but he hoped they were familiar enough to accept why he didn't want to reveal this out loud with such thin walls. Still he understood if they wouldn't want to be put under a genjutsu as the art had bad reputations that sometimes trumped its utility.
