26 Enemies approach (1/2)
It didn't take long for the commander to show up. His name was Yuuto Nara, and as many others from his clan, he was recognized for his intelligence and strategic abilities.
”Who are you, and what are you doing here? If you are who you say, then how and why did you come here? I know for a fact that Sakumo-san was assigned a diplomatic mission in Uzushiogakure…”
Although Sakumo had indeed informed Yoshio of the name and character of the commander, it would be obvious to even the genin, that the man in front of him was a Nara, and as such, was pretty pissed about his sleep being interrupted.
”I am Yoshio Namikaze, registration number; zero zero six five one one, apprentices to Sakumo Hatake, and I bring an urgent message on Sakumo-sensei's orders, that needs to be brought back to Konoha as soon as possible”
After looking at a scroll for a few seconds, Yuuto found what he needed.
”Your registration number checks out, but how do I know you are acting on Sakumo-san's orders?”

Yuuto raised an eyebrow as he questioned, putting his hands in his pocket in a typical Nara style.
”You know how the leaves dance with the crop in the farmland?”
”I do, then what are Sakumo's orders regarding your urgent message?”
”I was told to find genin Might Duy, who will run the scroll with the message to Konoha once I summon it, so if you could fetch him for me, it would be great”
As a shinobi from the same generation as Sakumo, Yuuto knew about the connection and friendship between Sakumo and Duy, as such, he didn't question Sakumo's motives, and instead just got someone to fetch Duy as quickly as possible. While that was happening, he was told about the intended use of the spirit transformation technique, and even volunteered to be possessed by Yoshio.
”Can someone bring be an empty scroll and a pen, I need to write something down. Ready Yuuto-taisho?”
”Yeah, just go ahead”
”Ok, spirit transformation technique: possession!”
With that, Yoshio's spirit flew into Yuuto's body, after which he first did the hand signs to summon the scroll from Sakumo, and the sat down at a table nearby, so he could write about the situation in Uzu. When he first arrived at the camp, he thought about telling them about the attack, but upon seeing the size of the camp, he knew they were probably not more than a hundred people, which wouldn't be able to help much, if they even believed him in the first place.
(AN: I know that the Spirit transformation technique is supposed to rot the target of possession from within, but I think would be reasonable to make it so that the rotting is optional)
”From the description Sakumo-sensei gave me, I will assume you are Might Duy-san, right? I am Yoshio Namikaze, Sakumo's apprentice, nice to meet you”
