Daiza, Katsuro, and Naomi sprint through the trees of the eery forest, cautious of any danger that might come to them. They held a line formation, with Daiza in the front to lead the others to the spot, and to make sure there are no surprise attacks. Katsuro is in the middle, and Naomi in the back since she has the best ninjutsu skills.

Daiza holds up his hand and stops on a branch. Without a question, the others also stop next to him, with a kunai in their hand. "They will be here in 5 minutes, so we have to work fast."

"Right." Katsuro and Naomi say simultaneously. "Daiza, keep look out, I'll cast the Double Genjutsu, and Naomi, protect Daiza, for he is our Medical Ninja and Sensor."

"Got it!"

Katsuro makes a couple of hand signs and the area he casts it in begins to ripple. It looks exactly the same, but they will walk around in circles. He then makes another set of hand signs. The second Genjutsu takes place over the first, and makes a slight difference in the appearance.

"Ok, the Genjutsu trap is ready." Katsuro declares. "Daiza, are the victim's on their way?"

"Yes, they should be hers in thirty seconds." Daiza replies. "Everyone, take your position."

Katsuro hides in the brush of the trees, while Naomi and Daiza hide in the leaves of a different trees. The three Genin finally approach the trap. Since they are tired, they begin to walk. The team walks in circles for 30 minutes straight, before they finally realize they are in a Genjutsu. One of them start to yell at another one, and the other one yells back, but finally make the hand sign to release the Genjutsu, and continue to walk without realising the second one.

After another 30 minutes of walking around in circles, the entire team in physically exhausted, and plop down on the floor. One of the Genin realize they are caught in a second Genjutsu, and they all groan in annoyance. They release the last Genjutsu and slump up against a tree. Katsuro and Naomi realize this and commence the second faze of their plan. Naomi throws shurikens at the unsuspecting team, and they hit them off with a kunai in their hands. What they didn't know was that the shurikens had clear lining attached and the shurikens swerve back around them and wrap them against the tree

When the thread is nice and secure on the victims, the entire team jumps down from the trees and approach the ninja tied up. From their headbands, Team Eleven get the idea they are Hidden Mist Shinobi. At the sight of Daiza, Katsuro, and Naomi, they try to escape, but the clear lining doesn't budge.

Katsuro gets closer to the ninjas. "Ok guys, you can cooperate, or we can do it the painful way. What kind of scroll do you have, and which one of you have it?"

"We're not telling you anything!" One of the ninjas exclaim, with drops of spit shooting from his mouth. Naomi and Daiza dodge the drops of spit in a weird, bending matter. "So you can give it up!"

"I'll give you one more chance." Katsuro offers, but they all look away smugly. "Fine. You force my hand! But who should be the victim for this?"

"Make it the guy who almost freaking spit on us!" Naomi yells with white circles for eyes. "Make him pay!"

"Alrighty then. Remember, you brought this on yourself."

Katsuro places his hand flatly on the ninjas forehead. He closes his eyes and holds up two fingers to focus the Genjutsu on his victim.

"Ok, I'll ask you once more. Who has the scroll?" Katsuro asks outloud, with his eyes still closed, but really is inside the mind of the ninja. The ninja doesn't answer his question. So Katsuro actives the first Genjutsu Nightmare. He begins to scream loudly and scarily. As Naomi and Daiza watch, they are completely horrified. His scream pitches to the deepest part of their ears, feeling a little bit of his fear. When he's had enough, Katsuro stops the Genjutsu for a while. "Ok I'll ask one more time, but if you don't answer this time, your nightmare will be worse."
