Kumo Scouting Teams (NPC)

(Cont. from here)

Entering the land of Rain, the name was pretty accurate, as they could see the namesake upon the horizon. Still, scouting was scouting, and the shinobi would do their job.

[Kumogakure Scouts scouting Rain for Hidden Villages]

A hawk flew above the scouting team, and one of the shinobi let it land on his arm. It was from kumo, and the falcon made a noise that signaled it recognized the nin. Taking off their new mission assignment scroll, he'd tie a new one onto the falcon with their report and open up their scroll.

Their next assignment was in the Land of Birds. Having their mission, they'd start speeding off into the next great unknown.

[Exit to Birds, 12 hr travel time.]
