Jinzo acknowledged Boshu's order without a word, moving forward cautiously whilst peering into the seemingly endless abyss that was the large, metallic tunnel. He was happy that Boshu had decided to take charge. If it were any of the others, he might not have been able to concentrate fully on the mission, or so he'd thought. The recent earthquake had been somewhat of a wake-up call for him, tearing Jinzo from his thoughts of group cohesion and the earlier exchanges forcing him to focus on the now. This was happening, regardless of first impressions.

As Miyu agreed to watch the rear, Jinzo pushed further forward. So far the mission seemed rather straightforward; follow the signal, which led them deeper into the tunnel. And so deeper he would go, without fear of course. His measured footsteps echoed down the tunnel, making stealth an unlikely option but he tried to remain as silent as he could with each step. Something was bothering him, however. Whilst he hadn't entirely been listening when Miyu had mentioned the lack of Natural Energy, it was something that stuck in his mind now. 

[color=Black][b]"Something seems off."[/b][/color] He whispered, opting not to explain further, before carefully moving towards the edge of the tunnel.

Where the metallic floor eventually began to curve upwards to form the wall, Jinzo stopped to place his left palm against it. He closed his eyes for a moment, attempting to knead his chakra into the tunnel itself, before gently speaking. [color=Black][b]"Onyx Crystal Mirror."[/b][/color]

After a moment, the dull grey of the tunnel began to turn to a shimmering black, as a section of the metal around his hand transformed into crystal. The process seemed to take longer than usual but besides that, nothing else was inherently noticeable. Satisfied with his test, Jinzo dispelled the Jutsu, causing the crystallized area to slowly revert back to it's original state.

He then returned back to the front of the group alongside Boshu, giving her a sidewards glance. [color=Black][b]"I just wanted to check."[/b][/color]
