Mission Details:

Senshi blinked in mild confusion as Komon called him a Genin, he hadn’t really thought the boy would do that as it seemed pointless. He wasn’t actually a Genin, the point was merely to see how Komon handled giving out orders. Since he would be in charge of Genin it only made sense for him to give orders as though Senshi was a Genin, so that way he could be better evaluated. Senshi pushed his confusion off, simply deciding to assume that Komon had called him that in order to show Senshi how he would actually be talking to his team. Senshi cocked his head to the side slightly at how uncomfortable Komon sounded when he said the words ‘wipe them out’. He made a note to mention to Komon not to show such uncertaintly in front of an actual Genin.
 
Even if he felt that way, it wasn’t good to show the Genin that you were uncomfortable with something like that. It could make them feel uncomfortable and if the Genin thought their leader was too weak to support them then they might not give him the respect that he deserved. Senshi himself had no problem with killing, it did bother him to feel the power of chakra leaving someone’s body but other than that he had no qualms with it. He knew from his extensive talk with Akihana-sama that it was supposed to be a bad thing, but it wasn’t something that many shinobi or even the Raikage seemed to view as bad. So Senshi often found himself in quite the conundrum when it came to the idea of killing since he had been told by quite a revered figure that it was bad.
 
Still he would do his duty, whatever it was that he was ordered to do, because that was what he had pledged his life to. He was but a humble Chuunin, who was he to question the orders of the Raikage. As long as they were in the betterment of the Village then Senshi would follow the man loyally as he had been trained to do. As Komon spoke about keeping near him Senshi nodded again trying to figure out how to command the bird beneath him. It was wobbly and very difficult at first, but the longer they flew the more he became used to it. He kept himself a good fifteen meters behind Komon and five meters to the left of him. It ensured he was in a good position to support the other Chuunin while at the same time making sure that one attack would have difficulty in taking them out.
 

As Komon led them down back towards the earth, Senshi continued to marvel at the amount of greenery in the land and their view of the world below them. He felt like a god, who could see everything and smite down those who would dare raise their hands against his village. Once the bird touched down on the outskirts of the village Senshi jumped off the bird and turned his eyes towards Komon waiting to listen attentively to what the other Chuunin wanted to do. Since he was a Chuunin, with an active common sense ability, he knelt to limit the amount of silhouette he gave off and make it harder to notice him. He didn’t want to give away their presence with his overly large and hulking form after all.

Komon’s bird landed gently next to senshi and the other chuunin quickly hopped off, and seemed to be waiting for Komon’s orders on what to do. Komon swiftly lifted one leg before swiveling it to the same side as the other. “You may want to step back” He’d say as he hopped onto the ground and got a good 5 meters away from the birds. If senshi got back as Komon had ordered he would avoid the quiet splash of ink, if not he would be greeted with a small black blob of ink slapping him in the forehead.

Komon would then turn to senshi and give out his plan. “I figure we should walk into the village first, find out more about these bandits and their methods before we engage” Komon would then activate the transformation jutsu causing him to appear as a civilian with ragged clothes much like what the rest of the village presumably looked like, being spotted as a shinobi would do the two no good. “You should disguise yourself as well, the village won't have any security as they have no shinobi so we won't need to show them any ID, transformation jutsu should do fine for use in this situation.” Komon would say as he began to walk forward towards the direction he knew the gate would be.

As Komon’s bird landed Senshi nodded at the order moving forwards in a crouch to take shelter in the surrounding trees. He remained crouched so the no one could easily noticed of him and he moved with an instinctual level of stealth making no noise as he did so. He watched as Komon dispersed the clones, frowning at the mess that they made. He made another mental note to suggest to Komon that next time he used this ability in a mission that he ensured that they were dispelled in an area much less traveled. The ink now covering the ground was an utterly dead give away that a shinobi had possibly been in the area. Since the skill Komon had used was more than likely general knowledge, and there was really no other explainable reason that there was a huge pile of ink now covering the ground.
 
Senshi didn’t think that trade caravans could even carry this much ink so trying to explain it away as an accidental spill wouldn’t work. Senshi certainly hope that Komon never released one of these things into a lake or other body of water as it would undoubtedly be terrible for a water ecosystem and kill many animals. Just wasteful. Still it was an undeniably useful skill that would be extremely beneficial to the village. Senshi nodded to Komon to show he understood the plan before performing the hand seals of a technique he had not performed in a long time. He took the appearance of a slight built man, barely topping five foot eight with dark red hair and dark red beard covering his face.
 

He appeared to be in his late twenties to possibly early thirties. The now transformed Senshi looked to be built with only a decent amount of muscle, seemed more toned than anything else. He had added dirt to his appearance to appear more traveled and looked rather like one would expect a local miner or wood worked to appear. Maybe even a hunter of sorts as well. His clothes had changed to a pair of sturdy brown pants, a black threadbare looking shirt, with a large gray jacket over the top of it. His eyes had changed from their typical hazel to a green and blue mix. He turned to look at Komon to let the Chuunin appraise his appearance before following him forwards into the village.

Komon studied Senshi’s face as he wondered how the man might be grading him, however it became obviously apparent that senshi was none to please with the giant mess his birds had left, to be honest he had felt the same as soon as he had released the ninjutsu, he hadn’t been expecting a blob as large as that, they had usually released ink on a much larger scale. A frown would appear on his face before he turned back to his fellow chuunin.

Senshi had followed his lead on the transformation jutsu and had obviously put a lot of thought in his disguise as Komon could no longer recognize a single feature on the man's body, his usually massive height now appeared to be normal, and his muscles now looked as if they belonged to a well trained civilian instead of a warrior who had grown up in a rigorous environment. Hell even his eyes had changed.

Komon nodded to show he approved of the chuunin disguise before turning towards the village, it took about five minutes of walking through a forested path before they reached the front, and as Komon had expected no guards had awaited them, the village was much to small to train and afford their own shinobi, he suspected the village may have a single shinobi acting somewhat like a sheriff or something, but he would be much too busy to guard an entrance.

As they made their way further into the village Komon looked for buildings with signs of forced entry discretely, so that he could locate some places to investigate, a local weapons shop with broken windows was in the second block of the town and he made a mental note to check it out with senshi before stopping at a food vendor to order some food so he and senshi would further blend in with the town and because, well he was hungry. The new chuunin ordered some type of grilled fish on a stick. And called senshi over using a cover name as he did so “Ono, do you want anything” He’d say offering to buy him food as well.
