Previous Response - To Yukigakure - Mamoru
Watching the two boys act like children was really refreshing for Kimiko. She knew how Keisuke truly was underneath everything he showed his childhood friend. The pain, the agony, the lies, it all affected him so. But as he wrapped his arms around Mamoru and teased the little silverette, she knew that was a part of him he kept secret, even from her. He didn't let anyone but the boy see.
Smiling to herself Kimiko led the rest of the squad to the entrance of a collapsed tunnel. There were few ways to get into the Land of Snow safely, too bad none of them were going to get them there in a timely manner. There wasn't a time limit but she wanted to get there and back before Christmas. She missed her son.
"Do you want me to clear the way or something?" Keisuke asked sarcastically.
She threw a disgruntled look over her shoulder before raising a hand and whispering, "Release."
What she "released" was a moderately complicated genjutsu. Suddenly the tunnel was cleared of all rubble, allowing the three leaf shinobi passage into Yukigakure via a particularly cold network of caves. Kimiko pulled a glowstick out of her back pouch and the boys did the same. Three distinct cracks rang out and the cave was illuminated... slightly. Unnerved, they continued on. To Yukigakure. In near complete darkness.

The boys let me in on their little mission since I'm actually here. Sorry for length!
