As his students spoke Eijij held his eyes on the road. There was quite a lot he could tell from the way people spoke about themselves. It was evident that Shiro wasn't inclined to tell that much about himself. The basic stuff Eiji has asked for was there, but that was it. Kuni was a bit more open. It made sense though. No-one was very willing to tell strengths and weaknesses to a person he or she had just met, but this was not the time to be covert. A team needed to be strong together for it to be effective. And being effective was the most important goal. 

He nodded when both were finished. [b]"Good."[/b] He said. [b]"That is a good start. Now,"[/b] he gestured with his hand fowards, [b]"soon we will be traveling through a forest. Normally I would travel around it, but that takes too much time right now. I can't drag you on trainings missions for too long because I am needed back in Amegakure. So we are going through the forest and I want you guys to be on your guard. It grows in a swamp area and because of that the air is thick and humid. At some spots it can cause halucinations and such. Some say it makes the forest look alive..."[/b] He paused for a second for dramatic effect and then shrugged. [b]"Don't think that any of that is true, but what is true is that getting lost is easy and finding your way back is harder. So we need to stay on the path and we should not lose each other. However if this might happen, keep moving, don't stop. We will rendevouz on the other side of the forest. Understood?"[/b]

As he finished explaining they arrived at the edge of the forest. The trees were tall and gnarly, the leaves dark and murky. Before them was a few foot wide path that disappeared into the darkness. Eiji didn't seem bothered. [b]"Come on."[/b] He said and moved forward to the path.

Hisoka wondered if he should find new friends. The ones he had now seemed set on entering his office through his god damn window. Why couldn't they just follow the normal routine and come through the door. A knock would be nice too.

[b]"Good morning Sakamoto."[/b] Hisoka said, his voice strained. [b]"How nice of you to show up."[/b]

He took brief notice of Harumi disappearing and nodded to Suzaku as the ANBU left as well. At least those two had the respect not to come late or enter through his window. For a moment his thoughts stayed on Harumi and he wondered if he should have spoken with her more. But that would have complicated the situation. He dismissed the thought therefore and turned back to the Senju.

[b]"I have a mission that I'd like you to undertake."[/b] He said as he took another sheet of paper from his desk. [b]"This message has to be delivered to the Mizukage on short notice. I would like to meet her."[/b] He handed the sheet to Sakamoto. [b]"And while you are at it, it would be best to keep your eyes open. Kirigakure has changed, or so I heard, and I am interested to hear from you how it has changed. Infrastructure, city layout. Small stuff. 

Oh, and Meisa is okay with it."[/b] He shot the man a meaningful look.
