Everyone seemed to be on the same wavelength now, or close enough at the very least where people weren't at the throats of the others anymore.  While it wasn't ideal, this was certainly workable for the moment.  "I'm okay with taking the rear.  I can fight at any range either through Kenjutsu or my Ninjutsu depending on what the situation requires."<br/><br/>Glancing at Michiko the white haired man continued  "It should be easy enough.  Like Kyo said, we're a group of travelers that hired Ren as our bodyguard."  Glancing over the map that was tossed to him by the Chunin.  "Yeah... we need to start moving.  With how far we need to go there's no way we could reach the mainland before night falls.  We might be able to get to shore before twilight though."  Folding up the map and putting it in his pouch.<br/><br/>"Kyo, you're up.  Take the lead and I'll grab the rear."
