About halfway through the sixth day of their journey, they reach the border of the Land of Lightning, passing under a cloudy, stormy sky. Not half an hour later, kunai whirl from above on the craggy landscape, one in front of each of the four foreign nin, warning them to stop.<br/><br/>The source of the kunai reveals himself. Clad in black, katana at his back, ANBU mask on his face, he silently watches the four Chunin to gauge their reaction, and perhaps how much of a threat they are to the village.</em>
