Ino's POV:
The mission was simple, survey the area around the village, investigate and watch the village from afar and don't get caught. Hinata, Sakura, Tenten and I were almost finished surveying the area around the village when we realized something wasn't right about our surroundings, it's almost as if no matter how far we walked we were not going anywhere, as if we are walking in circles and the village was always in view as if that place was our only option.
Tenten suddenly stops walking and looks around, "Guys, this doesn't feel right. Something is wrong here, it's as if we're not moving anywhere even though we have been trying to walk around this village for ages." She clearly seems as confused as I am, she looks towards the village and then towards the open forest, "Do you think it is some sort of mirage? Or maybe a jutsu?"
Sakura walks up to stand beside her and she nods in agreement, "It seems as if the forest is telling us to go to the village. Something definitely is not right about this." She digs for something in her bag and pulls out some ribbon, "Let's try to track our movement, maybe it's just our minds playing tricks on us." As she says this she ties a green ribbon onto one of the trees beside us. We continue walking as Sakura puts ribbons on the trees we pass and suddenly she stops, we must have walked about 10 - 15 feet when she turns to us and says, "Girls this tree already has a ribbon." We look at the tree and see that it does indeed already have a ribbon around it so we turn towards the way we came and its as if we walked miles and all of the trees have ribbons.
Hinata gasps in shock, "G-girls what a-are we g-g-going to d-do?"
Tenten looks at Hinata confused about our whole situation, "Hinata can you use you byakugan to see if you can see beyond where we are and the forest around the village?"
Hinata nods, "I-I can tr-try." She does her hand movements to activate her byakugan but as she is doing this she suddenly falls back and lets out a little yelp before falling towards the ground unconscious.
I immediately jump forward catching her before she hits the ground, "Hinata! Hinata! Can you hear me? What did you see?" But I got no response, she was out cold.
The other girls came up beside us looking just as worried. Tenten looked around and suddenly said, "Uh…. Guys."
Sakura and I looked up from trying to fan Hinata awake and immediately got to our feet when we saw ninja surrounding us and getting closer. I glare at them and was about to march right up to them to give them a piece of my mind when Tenten grabbed my arm, "Ino…No. Look." She pointed to some of the ninja and I realized a few of them were all doing the hand motions of a very rare jutsu that not many ninja could do, a very powerful chakra blocking jutsu. My eyes widened and Tenten sighed, "Looks like we have to do this the hard way." She says this as she is pulling out her wide variety of weapons and Sakura and I pull out our own.
I sigh, "…Troublesome…" As we jump into action and begin battle.
