Neji was about to doze off when a call woke him. “The pigeon is back!” That was Tenten's voice. Next to him, Lee, who had just been babbling incomprehensible things in his sleep, jumped up. 'Finally we can go on!' thought Neji as he slowly walked to his teammates.
They stood around the unfriendly man from the guard who was slowly reading through the Hokage's confirmation. Finally he nodded to the ninjas at the border that the Konoha ninjas were allowed to pass. At that moment it thundered nearby. Nobody thought anything of it, and the Konoha team crossed the border. Lee stuck his tongue out at a guard he had messed with the day before.
Their way led them through dark fir forests as well as through light deciduous forests. Autumn had arrived here too and colored the leaves of the trees and the needles of the numerous spruce trees in a warm orange-yellow.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a picture-book autumn. The sun wasn't shining, dark clouds hung in front of it. It wasn't warm, Tenten was trembling slightly under her coat. And to top it all off, it was raining too. "If we keep running so lame, we'll never get there, let's run two- no three times as fast!" "Lee you're crazy! I'm almost done at this speed! We've been running for about 9 hours!" complained Tenten.
Lee didn't hear that anymore but he was already ahead. "I wouldn't mind a speed change either," Gai muttered and followed. Even Neji got faster. The girl sighed and ran after behind, shoulders sagging.
At the end of the long, rainy day the four sat around a campfire and grilled sausages (^ - ^). The rain had stopped so they didn't have to worry about a sheltered spot. Tenten was still out of breath from the long run. While Lee was quite satisfied stuffing his fourth sausage into himself.
Little by little they went to sleep. Only Neji stayed awake. He should take the first watch. Because of this 'killer gang' double vigilance was called for. He activated his byakugan and looked around a little.
Forest everywhere. A stream, a hunting lodge, a lonely, deserted village, nothing exciting. He deactivated his Kekkei Genkai and looked around again. This time his field of vision was limited by various trees. He leaned back and closed his eyes.
He sat there very concentrated. His perception expanded with every second. Where before there was silence, there was now a gentle rustling when the wind blew through the leaves, or the babbling of a small spring. It went on like this for a while. Search the area first with the Byakugan, then with your eyes, then with your hearing.
After a while, his feet began to fall asleep. He got up and did a few laps. When he heard a suspicious crack, he stopped and activated the Byakugan.Three enemy chakras came closer and closer. He crept up to the others in quiet soles and woke them up. As soon as the four were ready to fight, the fight began.

The day was still young when Kai woke Rin and Ryu. They both grumbled, but when they smelled breakfast they were soon on their feet. Ryu was already in a bad mood because her brother had woken her up. Her mood worsened a lot when she looked past the yellow-colored treetops into the cloudy sky. "This weather is unbearable! Like in the laundry room! I could kill Mother Nature for the weather!" Of course she wasn't serious (* Mother Nature had a handkerchief *) but she was exhausted from training and couldn't use bad weather . "If you were to mess with Mother Nature," Kai threw in amused, "you would bet you wouldn't even survive a minute" "You want to know that, you early-riser-and-wake-up-girls-even though-it's-still-early-man. "Thanks for this lovely compliment" "Are you so mindless that you can't even tell a compliment and an insult? Now I know why the girls don't bite you!" he had been sitting. And Kai knew that Ryu knew (that he knew what she knew ^^). "Stop arguing let's have breakfast," Rin interrupted the two brawlers.
After a hearty breakfast, Kai and Rin packed their things and stowed them in their rucksacks. Ryu stood by, stunned. "Um, why are you packing up? I mean the training trip is not over yet. Is it?" "No, but we are looking for another place to train, we also need new provisions. Unless you want to do a survival training and eat yourself catch "replied Kai sardonically. Ryu swallowed a nasty comment. 'That would only have led to another argument,' thought Ryu to herself and packed her things as well. When they started it thundered violently. As if on cue, it started to rain. The three sighed and continued their journey in silence.
After a while they came to a village. It looked deserted. No children, dogs or cats played in the streets. The shutters were closed and there were big 'closed' signs on the shutters. "Now the survival vacation can begin," said Kai dryly. "HELLO anyone home?" Ryu called into the village. Nobody answered. They searched the village. "Come here quickly! There's someone" Kai and Rin hurried over. Indeed, an old woman was sitting in the corner knitting. "Hey baa-chan! Can you hear me?" Ryu asked very loudly, almost screaming. "Not so loud little one!" muttered the old woman. "I'm ... sorry. Where did all the people go?" "Everyone's gone. They moved to Kumogakure. You're afraid of the killer gang!" "Killer gang? What is it?" "Bad people . Very bad ... "Then she fell asleep.
