The Abandoned Tower (Team 1, NK)

Yuri was told that the mission would be happening at the designated tower. Since missions are coming to her team at quick succession, she would skip the meeting point and meet her team over at the tower. She knew that she wouldn't be late if she took this cause of action. Checking around the tower for her team would also be a plus for her team as well.

Upon reaching the tower on her own, Yuri could hear voices that represented fear from above. She would not go in just because of that as that would be reckless of her. But, checking it out from outside would not be a problem, if anything goes wrong, she would use her fifty meters worth of instant access to get herself to the ground immediately. She would look through the windows for clues of unrest.

As she went up level by level, She realized that there was little she could see past the windows but something did not feel right to her. Pests were heard but they were not seen, even when she tapped the windows to trigger fear in them, she felt ignored. That was when she saw her team arriving at the foot of the tower. She needs time to get back down, but Haru already went in as she is on her way to the ground. She gave a though about her observation seriously while catching up to them.

Before the lights gave up on the team, Yuri simply look a few steps ahead of her. She found out that Haru's footstep was mixing up with someone else's. As Haru displayed his fears that fitted the situation now, she knew that Haru can get inaccurate if it comes to searching in the building and learnt of someone hiding their chakra from the team from him. With her conclusion in her thoughts, Yuri would stop advancing and let her team go. She turned back, but was confronted by a swarm of rats. It wouldn't normally be a problem to her as she would simply defend herself from them. But since she can't see well, she would try to catch up with her team again. As she ran past a window and got the intention to counterattack. She got blinded by the rats before she could see anything. She tried to remove them from her eyes and realized that her nails touched her eyelids, revealing the fact that she nearly scratched her eye over nothing. Pranks....Time to turn back She told herself. Its clear to her that there was actually no threat at all. She now knows what to report when needed.

Dante had slept like an angel the night before the mission. He had came back from the escort and fell down to bed directly, without doing anything that would have disrupted his mind that was slowly entering the first stage of the sleep. Anyway, when Dante woke up, it was only 3 hours before the time the team has scheduled to meet. The Uzumaki wore his daily clothes, and his Tengakure headband, along with his pen and his notebook, just in case he would have wanted to note anything. He would leave the house and go to the meeting place. Seeing Yuri was not there, he would start waiting for her with Haru. After some time, they would give up on waiting and start walking the tower, the mssion being explained to Dante by the Hyuuga before they did. They would have then met up with Yuri once again, in the tower. 

"Rats ?" Dante has thought to himself "Wouldn't it be worse if they were the ones to attack us ? I mean,  it is easier to track, target and after that, hit a human than a small rat.". He would then concentrate on the mission. Dante was blindly following Haru, the one that was second person in charge of Tengakure's Team 1. The reason he trusted this boy to follow him without a second thought was both because of him being second in command, and the boy being much more experienced than himself (at least by the looks of it).

But this would have also resulted in Dante also getting caught in the Genjutsu being used by the boy that claimed to be training his genjutsu in the tower. It was Dante's first experience of being caught in a Genjutsu. The effects were similar to the ones Haru had embraced; fear, hunger, weakness, loss of balance, and blurry vision. In the end it turned out to be a Genjutsu, so Dante concentrated on Haru's voice and he was able to break the Genjutsu easily. He was however, not satisfied by the words of the boy. For some reason, Dante found the boy's answer quite unmeaningful. "How does he train the genjutsu isn't anyone already ?" he told Haru silently. But the boy was long gone. "Anyway... I will investigate him later, if I get to find him.." he would add.

"The sewers ?" he thought to himself, "Probably a mission the team attended to before I joined it.". "So..." he then said, looking at the Hyuuga clan member "I believe that the mission is over then. I will return and receive my prize if it's O.K. I will be waiting for the instructions of the next mission. Also, we should do some training some time, don't you think ? Anyway... See yolu later Haru.".

(Haru isn't second in command, it just kinda ended up this way.)
