The shinobi felt the sun wearing down on him as the day pressed on into evening, the sun fell back into the earth, and stars rose to the skies. Mugen had been traveling this mountain for hours, and his journey was not over yet. Besides the three shinobi, a coupled dropped shuriken had been the only sign of ninja in this terrain. It was sloppy, but efficient enough to keep the village hidden in the endless range of mountains. In his efforts to evade the three shinobi, he had unwillingly strayed from the path. It was pure luck, that placed him back on his way. And he now chose to move along side it, to avoid any run-ins with unwanted company.
But as the sound of crickets began to consume the night, Mugen finally found it. Off in the distance, he could see the perimeters of the village, which seemed moreso of a kingdom due to the castle walls surrounding it. Sinking down into the rocks beneath him, the shinobi laughed to himself. At last his days of effort had payed off, granting him the location to the village. Pulling a world map from his pocket, a small writing utensil marked the location of Iwagakure on the folded parchment. Surely this success could bring pride to Kusagakure, granting them a slight advantage over the foes who knew not of Kusagakure's location.
To assure that this was the village, the shinobi clung to the rocks until he saw several shinobi return to the gate. Each proudly wearing the symbol of stone on their headband as they pressed through the castle gates. With the location confirmed, the shinobi disappeared into the mountain ranges. Leaving east towards the shores of Tsuchi no kuni, he'd stray completely from his original path. To insure that his tracks were covered, the shinobi doubled back several times, leaving the remnants of a fire in the opposite direction of his route. If things went accordingly, no one could even know he was there.— FOUND IWAGAKURE & EXIT
