They arrived in the village after a surprisingly short but somewhat awkward journey. Ryoko spent most of the journey trying and sometimes failing to make small talk. She tried talking to Kaba, who just seemed to blow her off only wanting to talk about the battle plan and nothing else. Nadia spent most of the journey fawning over Kiku, and the rest Ryoko spent chatting about their abilities and who would be fighting where and how and all that stuff. Ryoko just liked to let the flow of battle dictate who did what. It just felt more natural to her than having a plan that couldn't work. However, she would try to follow the plan for the sake of the mission of course.

As the team walked through the village, the leaf ninja got some looks from the locals. It wasn't really a warm welcome back that she expected to get when she originally left the village. Ryoko just ignored them, right now all she wanted to focus on was the mission. It wasn't long before a Kumo ninja came running up to their team. He was clearly out of breath and in a panic. He could barely get out what he needed to say. He explained the situation and the team quickly headed towards the cafe with the hostages. Ryoko was thinking about how they would handle this. Would there be an opening for the team to attack and free the hostages? Should they just trust that the hostages will not be harmed and just negotiate? Ryoko nearly drove herself mad trying to think of how the others would react to the situation. Whatever the move they made everyone had to be thinking the same thing otherwise it could end horrifically. There was no time to talk about it now, they just had to get there ASAP.

As soon as they arrived, Ryoko positioned herself in front of Nadia blocking off her path to the enemy, knowing that she would probably want to be the hero of the situation and try to fight to save the hostages. Ryoko opened up her kunai pouch and slowly started to raise a kunai using the [i][url= http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Manipulating_Attack_Blades] Manipulating Attack Blades [/url][/i] to keep her hands seen while still being ready. At the same time, she loosed her tanto out of its sheath while placing her hand on her neck, being ready to draw it but still trying to look relatively passive. If things turned south she would have to be ready for anything. She waited and listened while Kaba demanded to know what the enemy was planning to do.
