Four more armbands, two new disguises, and one unconscious classmate later, Tetsuki and Naruto Uzumaki enter the camp.
It’s a brasher plan than she’d have thought up on her own–certainly more risks involved–but she can’t say that some part of her isn’t absolutely eager to get it done.
Timing, mostly, will be the problem. And how close the group of eight are to each other.
A fuss raises as they enter the camp, not from who they appear to be, but from what their presence implies. Tetsuki tilts her head toward one of the bedrolls–which are all still out for some reason–and Naruto Uzumaki drops the classmate they knocked out earlier.
She barely holds back a wince. Maybe the classmate he’s disguised as is also that careless–or just personally dislikes the classmate they’ve brought in.
“We found him unconscious, by himself, no armband. We have no idea where Mina is,” Tetsuki starts, making her voice a little rougher, a little louder.
“What the hell?” one of the campers shouts, “Who would take Renji’s armband?”
Tetsuki shrugs.
After a few more exclamations from the campers, Naruto Uzumaki adds, “Isn’t Mina a Neji fangirl?”
Neither he or Tetsuki actually know–it just seemed like pretty decent odds and a way to bring up,
“I heard Neji and that Lee kid were working together?”
“Why would they do that? That stuck up prick doesn’t work with anyone.”
“As if Neji would ever put up with that loser.”
“I bet you Mina left the second she spotted his stupid, flouncy hair.”
“Why would anyone stay with Renji when they have a shot with Neji Hyuuga?”
“This is an exam, not a dating game!”
On and on the campers go, as argumentative as they were this morning, so focused on the new topic that their disguises aren’t so much as looked at a second time, much less actually questioned.
Naruto Uzumaki, closer to the banked campfire, discretely drops a couple of delayed detonation smoke bombs into the pit, before returning to guard Renji.
They don’t want their unknowing captive waking up too soon.
