Neji Hyūga walked through the crowded streets of Tanzaku Quarters with a slightly aghast expression on his face. A lively town far from Konohagakure, this was not the kind of place Neji was used to. He was very uncomfortable in this environment and was quite surprised by how unaffected life was here despite the war. In contrast, his partner on this mission, Jūshirō Senju, seemed to be throughly enjoying himself. His naturally inquisitive nature meant that he was highly interested in all the weird sights in the town. Upon reached the appointed place of their meeting with the Taiyougakure representatives, the Tanzaku Castle, Neji activated his byakugan to perform a quick scan of the area and see of anyone was there around them.
