"So, do you guys have nay news about the other villages, like Konoha and Suna?" Akio hadn't been getting any news about the other villages through his regular channels, like the market, what with his sudden increase in his workload. Now was the perfect time to ask, what with several world-faring merchants travelling with them. They talked about some minor things, mostly idle gossip, but they went back to talking about this heavy feeling they had, as if there was a shadow hovering over them, of tension so thick it held weight. Akio couldn't say he liked to hear this sort of thing, he liked to remain as happy as he could before Isamaru found a way to ruin his good mood, but he needed to be in the know, as information could be the difference between life and death. He may have overheard something about mysterious men and women sighted in major villages and in the wilderness, but one of the merchants said it was a rumor he had picked up in Takumi, and he said it wasn't from the most trustworthy of sources. Akio dismissed it initially, but he found himself looking for mysterious-looking individuals. Not a good sign. [3/5]

Akio decided to walk the rest of the way in silence, lost in thought as he guarded the carriage and the rich, greedy merchants of the Mist. They had been all over the world, taking in sights and eating exotic foods, while Akio had been stuck in the same old damp, dreary place for his entire life. It really gave him something to think about, like how he'd want to spend his twilight years travelling, assuming he made it that age and didn't die some horrible, violent death in the next few months, what with the state of the shinobi nations. I wouldn't mind peace for a bit, just so I can eat some Konoha food, or see a desert in the Wind Country. It'd be nice. Akio snapped out of his daydream when he spied the Takumi gates, large as they were. They had made it without incident, something Akio liked. [5/5] [Exit to Takumi gates]

It seemed such a shame for the chunnin who had stumbled upon the scene. While the scenery was changing, the merchants were about to step into a trap, from which there would be no escape. Ninja escorts or otherwise. The figured refused to reveal itself, not while there were subordinates to make the job easier. A brief signal flashed, a mirror using what little light from the canopy above to signal the waiting horde.
The robed figure had several men at his disposal, but for now, the signals notified a trio further back. Arrows loosed with a slight twang! It was enough for the ninja present to notice, however the arrows would do their job. Numbers weren't always everything, not while they had quality arrows, explosive tags wrapped about them. No particular targets, so long as they hit the wagon.
Unfortunately, it seemed a few had misunderstood the signals. Something which would be reprimanded in time. Blades and axes in hand, a quartet leaped before the caravan uselessly. Perhaps it would distract from the arrows to the side? Perhaps it wouldn't. Nonetheless, the quartet charged with fervor.
