XXXXXX- KURAMA KIZURU

He jumped between trees and held his breath as another patrol made their way past him. By his side, Toshiro and Shika were similarly still and once the patrol passed, they exploded into movement once again. Their mission was simple. Simple but insanely difficult, just like most things ended up being. He felt the warm brush of Toshiro’s chakra as it cloaked them once more, but now to achieve a different aim. Invisibility had been necessary when out in the forest, but here it would be a detriment. An invisible person would be easily found in the tightly packed can of sardines that was the Suna encampment. Instead the genjutsu was aimed at making sure they weren’t noticed.

Kizuru began to whistle under his breath as they went deeper into the camp as well, adding his own genjutsu efforts to Toshiro. Neither of their genjutsu were especially strong as that would have been a dead giveaway to the experienced shinobi that surrounded them. Instead, their genjutsu were aimed to be weak but insidious and subtle. Only someone with a med-nin’s level of control would be able to notice the disturbance to their chakra network that Toshiro’s caused, and then they’d ignore it because that was what Kizuru’s own genjutsu whispered for them to do.

They took a sharp left on reaching the center of the camp. Shika’s idea to capture one of the patrols and interrogate them on the camp’s layout had proven immensely useful as they had a clear picture of where everything they wanted would be located and wouldn’t stick out for looking lost at least. First things were the water supplies. As expected, they stored their water in fuinjutsu-enhanced barrels. Shori and the others were going to be poisoning the rivers themselves so these were soon going to be only safe sources of water available to the Suna nin.
