[color=d11014]"Thank you... We'll be on the move soon then. Let me know if anything changes."[/color] Kenshiro spoke softly to two other shinobi, both completely disguised in camoflauge gear for the trees and forestry. With a simple nod from both, they dispersed into smoke. Each having been clones. The man turned towards his back, looking upon the camp the battalion had set up. It was a good area to rest for certain. A steep dropoff providing cover from one side, with a slow-running river lining across it for water and easy access to fish. The bed of water was large, spanning dozens of meters to cross from one side to the cliff, while being slow and shallow enough to not be dangerous. The afternoon sun gleamed off the water as if looking at a lake, with occasional waves breaking up the mirror image.

The jounin instructor scanned over the encampment again as he approached, seeing that the students had rested properly. Restored supplies as needed, ready as they could be. At least physically. The man still wasn't sure if they would be ready for the kind of mission they were on, which could erupt into true battle in an instant. Even so, they all needed to be aware of the information he was told from the spies whom were following the other two factions. Their plans still could not be gathered, as the agents were keeping a very safe distance in order to keep from being detected. So far, only their movements had been tracked. Kenshiro sighed slightly, before he approahed the students and made the announcement. [color=d11014]"The Sand and Mist continue to converge towards each other. We don't know exactly where they are headed, but it is becoming increasingly clear that they are moving into the same area. We should expect that some sort of alliance is being formed, but be ready for all possibilities you can."[/color] He took a brief pause to retrieve a map from his robe, before continuing. [color=d11014]"While we have no confirmation on this, I have some ideas on where they might be going. There are multiple abandoned small towns and villages in this area. They never recovered after the Juubi's rampage. It's possible they have chosen one as a place to meet. Any questions?"[/color]
