>>5812381After about 20 minutes of walking, you hear something that makes your blood run cold. Barking and snarling, due north. You freeze in place, making sure that it has nothing to do with you. It doesn’t.
You plant your foot on the base of a tree, attempting to practice the chakra adhesion Hotaru had instructed you in. You learned primarily in water, but apparently walking on walls was easier.
Your chakra control does not fail you. You can stick to the tree. Unfortunately, you don’t have enough strength in your body to hold yourself horizontal, so you climb up the side of the tree with your hands and feet like a spider.
When you reach a decent, wolf-safe altitude, you begin crossing from one tree to the next as you journey north. As you move north, your sensing blood sphere finally begins pulsing, telling you that Mrs. Sato was definitely in the direction you were heading, for better or worse.
Eventually you’re in a branch overlooking a clearing.
This is the scene laid out before you: There are 5 wolves, arrayed in a semicircle surrounding a tree. Lying against the tree is the slumped over figure of an aged woman, clearly unconscious or dead. At the very least, she was pale. Naoki would probably be able to ascertain more, if he were here, but you couldn’t be sure.
The wolves are not attacking the woman, rather, they’re arrayed in a defensive formation around her, facing off against about a dozen python-sized centipedes, and one absolutely huge mule-sized centipede, wrapped around a rock out of easy reach of the wolves. Seems they were at some kind of standoff.
