The journey to the village in the Land of Lightning took four days to complete, and on their arrival, Natsumi's parents used a variant of the Transformation Technique to make them look like simple farm folk. That Transformation Technique was different to the original in that it would only be dispelled if the user wished it to; injury or fatigue were insufficient to make the technique dissipate. After spending three days gathering information, Natsumi's parents realized that there was nothing of great importance in the village, and prepared to return to Konoha.
