You give Masami a nod as the two of you fan much farther out to the sides away from your group and begin walking through the flooded fields, passing by random workers that you can see. You give a number of them paranoid looks, reasoning that if there was an enemy ninja who wanted to attack you a pretty good strategy to pull that off would be to disguise themselves as a rice peasant. But they were pretty few and far between in the long rows of rice paddies so none of them warranted too close of a look, despite the fact that you’re more guarded when someone is near you.
You start getting a strange sensation as you walk through the fields. Something foreboding. You take a look at your chakra sensing orb and notice that it’s resonating with a random patch of water in between some rice. You pull out a kunai and cautiously approach.
What meets your eyes is, frankly, bizarre. A white creature composed of tendrils rises out of the rice as you approach. Your chakra sphere doesn’t change, just calmly resonating with this thing.
“What are you?” You say experimentally. It could be the byproduct of some kind of jutsu for all you knew, or maybe it was some manner of spirit.
The creature remains silent, ethereal tendrils slowly waving around.
