Tomo nodded.  "I'll be back as quickly as I can."  He closed his eyes and relaxed.  Where most techniques rely on gathering, concentrating, and controlling chakra, the Maeno clan's technique did the opposite.  He slowly relaxed and fell.<br/><br/>In the real world, Maeno Aritomo vanished, leaving not a trace that he'd ever been.  But Tomo ignored that and walked into the cave anyways.  It was dim, but light from the entrance was enough to see by for the time being.  He waked forwards steadily, looking for anything worth noting-- tracks on the floor, side passages, massive tentacle monsters...  Moving in this state was a real effort, since his feet had a tendency to sink into the floor, but it was much safer than the entire group blundering around in the dark in the normal cavern.  Here he could see and not be seen-- it was the perfect technique for scouting.
