The trio skulked through the empty ruins. So far, no signs of poison gas or anything... It was hard to say how inhabited it was before or now, as it was well known that Amegakure was as hidden in the ruins as it was in the rain. "You know..." Hitomi murmured, her voice muffled by the mask covering her mouth, "The larger villages tend not to hire mercs."<br/><br/>"If my master is here, then he'll be fighting... and if that's the case, he won't be on your side." She said, "I'll help you get back to your people... but after that. I don't know... I don't want to be here either. I think... we'll try and find some other work."<br/><br/>Tashi and Marise blended in with the scenery just fine, though Hitomi had to stick to more... conventional methods. The rain was coming down harder and harder as they made their way into the heart of Amegakure.<br/><br/>So far undetected, they then heard... someone else coming along. Remaining still, they eventually saw from an alleyway a number of ninja in drab greys and blue walking out in formation. They were hidden rain ninja alright... five of them. One of them was walking behind a pair of genin- Konoha genin. They were only kids, twelve or thirteen. Prisoners. But then... there were also a pair of genin among the Ame ninja, likely not much older. The Amegakure nin all wore gas masks and cloaks and the one escorting the prisoners had an elegant umbrella shielding them from the deluge.
