Go straight to the mission

The start of the mission is very boring. Long stretches of endless greenery covers your view as you continue to run around the predetermined course, only jumping to the trees every quarter an hour to get the surrounding view. Every few hours, you stop to eat and drink. Sometimes you don't even do that as you simply eat and drink while continuing your trek. Continue doing that until nightfall, and then you're to find a secure place to sleep.

But you continue your running resolutely because you want to arrive at the real starting place for your mission, an outpost not very far from the border of Land of Fire and Land of Rivers. There you will report to the commander, rest for a few days before finally starting the patrol mission. So, the faster you arrive at the outpost, the longer the time you have to rest or run around the area.

Suddenly your sharp hearing catches loud noises originating from the 11 o'clock in the direction of your current location. Your mission packet, which Shizune **** you to read twice under her watchful eyes, recommended that you stay incognito and stay out of sight to prevent detection. However, the mission packet also indicated that there's a few nearby villages in the area. Then again there were few Akatsuki sightings in the area as well. If you get into trouble here, there's no Jiraiya to bail you out.
