For the day's mission, it was a trip to one of the old mines located on an island for the collection of a load of materials. As such, Teru was willing to accept the task and head over to where the abandoned mine was. She got there at a reasonable time, right after another kunoichi who was standing outside of the mine entrance. This kunoichi had her arms folded and looked as if she had been waiting for quite a bit. Teru approached her with a casual look on her face. "So, you must be my assigned partner," she spoke up, standing at the girl's right. There was only a brief memo given to her about the mission. It mentioned something about having a partner to collect the raw materials with, but it said nothing about who that person was. Not that it entirely mattered. She could be paired up with just about anyone in the village and still go on to complete the mission. "I'm Teru Uchiha. It's a pleasure to have the chance to go on a mission with you."

Whether the kunoichi introduced herself, or not, Teru would still be ready to head down into the mine. She was going to allow herself to be the follower during this mission, so the call to start moving was up to her partner when she was ready. "Just give me the word," Teru said, and she waited patiently where she was. Her hands wandered behind her back and clasped together. It was one of those chilly days of the week. The mine, being as creepy as it was at these hours, was going to be a chore to go through, no doubt. At least there was no being alone this time. Nothing could beat having a companion in the depths of a spooky mine.

Teru had been met with a smile when she had gotten there. Her name was Shirayuri Osada-- a name that had a familiar ring to it. Well, proper introductions would have to be made at another time. Now that they were successfully rendezvoused, the trip down the mine could be made. Still, this was yet another person with the name of Osada. To meet another one was an interesting experience. Upon being given a thumbs up from Shirayuri, Teru gave a firm nod and collected the appropriate gear for the mission. She too had gotten a hold of a basket fit for carrying the raw materials that would be collected at the bottom, and soon made her way down the mine with the help of some ropes for a safe way down. As she worked her way into the depths of the mine, Teru could hear the faint sounds from below. A faint moaning, likely coming from the intrusion of the outside's breeze. The dripping of water was a frequently heard sound, and there were collective amounts of condensation gathering on the rocks. With the equipment being used, there wouldn't be anything to worry about, really. 

It wouldn't be too long before they made it to where the materials would be collected. On her way down, Teru made a quick glance to Shirayuri to see if she was doing alright. "How are you holding up over there?" she asked kindly, and with a smile. "We should be reaching the mark in just a moment." As it got darker the deeper they got, the closer the destination was getting. However, it was getting colder, and spooky protrusions in between loose rocks in the walls of the mine started to appear more. Some looked like pieces of bones, or something else that once belonged to a human being. Nevertheless, Teru was keeping her pace at a steady rate and would occasionally make sure that her partner was keeping up just fine. Her fingers would make contact with a mossy substance growing on the wall used to keep her balance as she descended, but it wasn't pressing enough to actually bother her. Seeing these things at the depth they were currently at was a good sign that they were nearing the location of the raw materials.
