The tense atmosphere of danger was hard to sway from the shifting air that threatened to choke out any semblance of enjoyment in this mission, whereas the others were free from such dangers with the only threat being posed to the so-called clients of the missions this mission had no such client. They were to watch the southern perimeter for any bandits or beasts that rear their ugly heads and then they were to dispatch of them in a timely manner. It would be Noriko's first time in combat with real stakes involved, and she had little doubt that it was her sister's first time as well. Regardless Noriko had no intent to let her sister get hurt in this mission so she found herself resting at the top of a tower with her leg's firmly clasped together in open-eyed meditation. It was a skill to be able to meditate with pure focus with your eyes open for one that was easier when you trained with toad's, some of which didn't even need to close their eyes. She wasn't one to let herself fall short so it was one of the many skills she ended up picking up in mimicking of her sensei.
Staring down into the darkness she watched for any flickering movements, all the while converting her chakra into Senjutsu Chakra in case something did go out of its way to cause a threat to the village. She knew little about the dangers that surrounded Konaha, bandits she understood well enough. After all, bandits were just about anywhere and the word was practically synonymous with trouble but she knew little about the kinds of beasts that dwelled within the forest thicket. Regardless she had made a promise with the acceptance of the Genin title to help protect the village and it was her sage oath to keep her promises... it felt necessary after she had unintentionally abandoned her family for so long. Her hat would rest on her head, giving the illusion was she was staring every which way at once... which for this particular circumstance seemed like it'd actually be useful... if you know it wasn't just a hat with googly eyes glued on.
