Fairly well, at least until the Rendezvous with the Receivers

John and his Team had made good time on their way to the Sand. John kept his Senses Sharply tuned in to all manner of sounds and scents to be certain they weren't walking into an Ambush, and by the Time they made there way into the Land of Wind he was calmed by the fact they weren't walking into a trap. However he was still uneasy about this whole civil war thing, he knew he needed to take precautions that were Simple but Effective. So he made Several dozen Shadow Clones and Sent them out in different directions to do some Recon.

(Half An Hour from the Meet)

''John, your clones run into anything?'' Asks Yamato. ''No, but they did find some bodies, and a Former campsite, supposedly roughly a day old and no later. They found some stuff but it wasn't Suna Issue, probably a Rebel Camp of some sort. Wait....I Smell something.'' Says John as he closes off all his Senses except his Hearing and Smell. ''What is it?'' Asks Naruko. ''Let's see, it's a Mixture of Sweat, Perfume, Iron Sand and Gold Dust, Oil, No wait! It's Sword oil, and......Blood? It's our Receivers, their in battle, and not doing well it seems.'' Says John ass he Opens his Eyes and Runs ahead to the Ridge they are near.

As soon as he gets to the Ridge he sees the Team they're supposed to meet up with, it's the Sand Siblings, no wonder the Perfume was so Familiar! ''Report!'' Says Yamato. ''We've Got the Sand Siblings Down there and it doesn't look good, Their Sensei is Down, and Kankurõ's Puppets don't look too good. Gaara is doing what he can but they're badly outnumbered. As for Temari She's Shielding Their Sensei, Given How bad it is We've a few minutes before they die, shall we?'' Says John as Yaamto and the Others Nod. ''Okay, I'll throw some Smokies down their to obscure the fisld of Battle, meanwhile Naruko You should Go and help Kankurõ, Samara you and Captain Yamato should help Gaara, I'll handle Temari, Go!'' Says John as he Throws half a dozen Smoke Bombs over the ridge and Follows behind them.
