Counting their troops, the four elites who had gathered together glanced back and forth between one another, exchanging signals rather than words. It wasn't sign language, but it wasn't vocally or physically expressed communication either. It was unlikely that anyone else would be able to even detect it was occurring as all of their communication was being willingly transmitted via electrical or magnetic signals, modulations, and frequencies. They began sending signals to the other groups, but none of them physically responded, instead shifting or patrolling as normal. One individual didn't receive the signals, but his fellows gestured for him to follow them on a patrol.

That was before some particularly powerful frequencies hit them and they faltered. They glanced up at the Raikō Engai, then joined hands, a field of magnetism surrounding the group, including the infiltrating Nobushige clone. The two individuals, and Nobushige, would lift from the ground and then practically slingshot towards the floating rock mounted black dome. The movement would be slightly disorienting for a moment and then they all got their bearings and landed. The duo, likely accompanied by Nobushige, began walking straight towards the dome.

None of them seemed aware of the intruder in their midst.

Walking within the small contingent and lost in her analysis of their resources and enemy, Shirayuri realized something they could use. She kept it to herself till Nobushige arrived, issuing a response from Mayumi, who seemed more than a little annoyed. Before things could get further off topic and the team's cohesion decrease, she spoke, [color=#534730][B]"Good, you're here Nobushige. Thank you for the intel,"[/B][/color] she [I]glanced[/I] at the man who seemed to be the leader of this contingent of shinobi, [color=#534730][B]"Could you find Nobushige's other clone and get your squad metal weaponry?"[/B][/color] The man frowned at her, raising an eyebrow, taking a step forwards as he opened his mouth to protest. Shirayuri cut him off, [color=#534730][B]"Members of the Kanagata clan can't manipulate objects with chakra channeling through them without direct physical contact and increased effort. Your intel is not at fault, and neither are your men. No offense, but your village is small, you don't have the kind of information gathering capabilities we do. Plus...I've dealt with them before, learned a few tricks."[/B][/color]

The man clamped his mouth shut, gritting his teeth, before relenting and rattling orders off to his men. They dispersed, heading for the village at a run while a group of three headed off to find Nobushige's other clone. [I]Good, now we can focus,[/I] she thought before turning to her team. First she addressed Mayumi, [color=#534730][B]"Drop the attitude,"[/B][/color] she said bluntly, her mouth a solid line, [color=#534730][B]"We're not dealing with a normal shinobi. We're dealing with a rogue of one of the most prominent clans from Kumogakure. They tend to hunt down and [I]kill[/I] their rogues. She's still alive, and she's not in hiding. This is a dangerous woman. Underestimate her and she'll kill you."[/B][/color]

With that she turned to Nobushige, [color=#534730][B]"I need you to start taking this seriously. Drop the [I]game[/I] mentality. This is a mission and as much as I wish we could kick back and just [I]enjoy[/I] the ride, well, this ride's rusty and if we lower our guard it'll go right off a cliff with us trapped inside. No excuses."[/B][/color] She then took in a deep breath, letting it out after holding it for a few seconds. All the tension drained from her.

[color=#534730][B]"Game plan. We need to get rid of her field advantage. If possible I want you two to deal with her soldiers. Don't think I'm misusing your talents either, trust me, they're not going to be pushovers. I'm going to work on removing those rods you mentioned Nobushige. They are almost certainly going to give her a field advantage otherwise. If we're lucky we do all that before she notices that we're disabling her safeguards and getting rid of her advantages, forces, and fallback plans. If we're lucky. If we aren't lucky, we'll get half way through doing two things and she'll show up and incinerate all of us with personalized lightning bolts. If we're [I]really[/I] unlucky, she'll have a sadistic side and torture us for all we're worth, and then some before finally killing us or turning us into experiments that she can manipulate for her own ends. Hopefully it doesn't come to that."[/B][/color] She aimed her head in the direction that Nobushige's clone had come from and then she took off. The mission had begun.
