Lee stared solemnly at the watery rocks ahead. Thunderclouds were very apparent in the distance, and it seemed he would be coming upon Kirigakure soon enough. Only a couple more hours, at most. Lee had enjoyed his traveling thus far, feeling an anxiousness that paired his excitement for his mission. He was completely aware Kirigakure was definitely not the safest place to be, especially with the current leaders and violent shinobi that reside there. Lionus just had some sort of hunch that one of the Hokage's stories was there. Possibly because the hidden mist was most definitely not above purposely withholding information to cause turmoil. Anything for another fight and another death. Lionus was well aware of all of this, and still leisurely walked forward. He made sure he kept himself well aware of his surroundings, however, so that he might not be jumped or ambushed by local ninja.
