Yougankure no Sato

Through the swamp, everyone seemed to be on edge and on guard. Musashi would every now and then look around with his eyes for any sign of trouble. Sama's nose and ears twitched the entire time as well, trying to maintain some level of alertness.

Nanami did not seem concerned. She had not said a word to Lavan, even when he poked her and played innocent. Her mind was too full of thoughts. She wondered if her mother truly could find Yougankure . . . and she wondered if this 'X' person was going to be a pain.

As they reached the seals and went through the process of teleportation, Sama felt nauseous, having to lean on Ryukku so he wouldn't fall over. Musashi, with his chakra gone haywire, stayed close to Sayuri and kept a hand on his sword at all times. Nanami had stayed silent, and simply waited for the ride to end.

When it did end, she looked around at the village and whistled. She was impressed . . . and also very worried. This was the place that had produced Lavan and his crazy crew -- who wouldn't be worried by what that could mean?

Musashi looked around and he too was impressed. Konoha was much bigger, but this place had them beat in terms of defense. Although, given Konoha was more open, they likely had a much stronger economy. Though, Musashi was never one for thinking about these things -- and even if he had been, he wouldn't have had time.

Soon, X showed up. The second he announced he'd be taking Kaoru, Musashi put himself right in X's way.

"Kaoru and I are going no further. We're staying here and having a friendly chat. So, as you can see, there's no reason for you to take him."

Musashi said all of this in a very polite tone -- he was used to dealing with foreign dignitaries, being the Hokage's son. He also said it with a smile on his face -- and his hand resting on the hilt of his katana.

Naturally, Musashi had heard Lavan's warnings about X . . . and disregarded them completely. If he'd been one to listen to Lavan's warnings, he'd still have a natural blue eye, instead of the red one that was staring out of his skull now.

Musashi was far less stubborn now than he had been at that time -- but he'd been waiting too long to have some 'alone time' with Kaoru and try to get his own answers to let some one-eyed joker come along and take this opportunity. Musashi, after all, had to play nice as long as Sayuri was around.

(XD Of course Musashi's gonna be a pain in the ass. It's what he does. :p)

Still sore from Musashi's "friendly" tap on the shoulder earlier, Kaoru pushed Musashi out of his way and looked up at X.

"Like he said, I don't plan on going into the village." Kaoru said. "But I know how important security is to you-- Lavan took the liberty of explaining this in vivid detail. So a brief interview wouldn't hurt..."

Kaoru took out his pocket watch, and held it by its chain, showing X its outer design; it was decorated with the Konoha leaf, except instead of the usual swirled design, the inside of the leaf was a clock with its hands at 3'o'clock.

"Maybe this answers a few of your questions, already?" Kaoru asked. He was just taking a stab that X knew what the watch was and what it meant. "If you're as informed as I hear you are..."

Musashi paused and raised an eyebrow. He wondered why Kaoru was so willing to be interrogated, especially after Lavan's warnings about X. He was even more curious as to why he seemed to think a pocket watch would prevent such a thing.

He said nothing. He did not want to ask questions in front of Sayuri, so he remained silent.

Going through the portals with Sama leaning on her, Ryukku blushed slightly. And once they finally made it, she turned to him, concerned. "Are you alright?" she asked.

Raida was still not quite recovered from her having frozen at a time when she should have done something to help, earlier, and remained completely silent through the duration of the entire trip. And when "X" showed up, she still remained silent, as even though it was said that probably everyone would end up getting questioned by him, she knew that she, herself, was likely very high on that list of those to be questioned. By now she was used to that idea, from all of the other places she had been sent to for missions, since joining Konoha. And she knew it was probably best to avoid saying anything, as to try to avoid possibly getting on the bad side of interrogators.

Galv stumbled about once they were done, dizzy. All the chakra spiking and declining had really made him woozy, with his Artificial Biju being made from several different chakras that had been gathered.

He had, however, fully enjoyed the part with the electrical disturbances, and had actually hummed softly going through there.

Shaking his head to regain his balance, he glanced to X, as were the others. His brother Cess, the Vegetable Village Leader, had asked Galv to find out about the possibility of trade with Yougankure…Of course, with the defense here, it looked like that might make that possibility difficult…

Sama groaned a bit and stood up straight, trying to get his barrings back. He hadn't really enjoyed going through the portals -- mainly because he'd lost control of his senses and it had enraged Gobi inside him.

After a moment, he slowly nodded to Ryukku. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine now . . . sorry." He rubbed his neck.

Hikaru hadn't said much as the group had traversed the path into the village. For one he wasn't going to be poofed away from another fight. Twice now this had happened and no more.

The blond ninja frowned when X showed up. He instinctively tried to turn on his Himitsugan Blood Line Limit but paused, remembering what had transpired when he had attempted it earlier.

He merely growled as a form of recognition and greeting.

Ryukku hadn't even thought about how the Gobi within Sama would react to how the portals affected everyone's chakra, and had been overall just worried. Sama was her best friend, and boyfriend, and that meant she worried a bit more about him than she would others in the same situation.

"As long as you're okay, don't worry about it!" Ryukku replied, smiling warmly. It was hard to keep Ryukku down for long...

X smirked when he saw the watch, and just shook his head in what looked like mock-annoyance. "So YOU'RE the kid. Fine. I'll let you in on ONE condition: NO communication with anything else. I will be locking down your communication devices in a second."

His gaze turned to Uchiha Nanami as he smirked, striding forward right up to her, standing face-to-face with the girl. "And YOU must be Uchiha Nanami. I heard quite a lot about you, your involvement in the many scenes this world has presented, and I am quite pleased to make your acquaintance. Though I suppose that your choice in partners could have been better than settling for that absentminded pyro that just opened the gates, I think that you've done quite well with what you have, all things considered. However... I am going to give you ONE warning. I will be watching you, ALL of you. One wrong step, one tiny hint that you are in league with Uchiha Madara, Rin Mariko or ANYONE else that I consider threatening to this village, I will skin you alive and use your skin to make me a new suit of leather armor."

He gave Hikaru a wink with his purple eye as he saw the ninja's discomfort before looking over the entire group and nodding once. "And one last thing. Welcome to Yougankure and... Enjoy your stay."

And he disappeared as Lavan let out a long sigh. "Whew... See? SEE??? That guy is CREEPY, I tell you! Stupid X, stupid purple eye, stupid... GAH..."

Odari snickered, coming up beside Lavan and patting him on the shoulder sympathetically. "Not stupid, Lavan. Unnerving, unsettling, frustrating, yes. But FAR from stupid."

"Yeah yeah... In any case, welcome to my home, ladies and gentlemen! I doubt that you will be staying for a long time since we have a mission to complete, but if you want to stop by here for the night, I would be able to set you up with the best room and board available. Nanami-chan, Sayuri-chan, we have to stop by the Council Tower first since you two are the leaders of this mission. After that, we can get to the archives and check what info we have on the village. I also suppose that we should visit X and Kamen to see if their information network has anything for us.
"In the meantime though... You guys wanted to hear about this Testament business, huh?"

“Yah…what are these Testament things? And why should Biju not like them?” Galv wondered. His Biju only knew what he knew, so he didn’t have that gut distrust of them like the others. The X-Tailed Mouse was just as confused.

He paused, then continued, “Also…If it’s not to much trouble, my brother has asked me if there’s anyway to get a trade going on between our two villages…You know what we can grow…” Galv said, referring to the sensu beans…

Kaoru put his watch away. "Like Musashi said, I won't be going inside. Besides that, I can't contact anyone in my current situation..."

He turned to Musashi. "See? No problems."

Meanwhile, Sayuri stood close to Nanami, listening to the plan for their visit inside the village. She laughed at Lavan's reaction to X. "Lavan-kun's annoyed face is funny."

Nanami was seething with anger. She clenched and unclenched her fingers, gritted her teeth and she seemed to be shaking. X had said something that really unnerved her, and she looked over to Lavan.

"If that one-eyed bastard comes near me again, I'll kill him." She swore, and the venom in her voice could have made her father recoil in terror. X had implied that she, or one of her friends, might actually be in league with Mariko! That was too much for her to deal with.


Musashi looked over to Kaoru and shrugged. "Yeah, no problem here." He paused, and in his mind 'Except the one you have with me, kiddo.'

Lavan didn't waste any time trying to placate the situation. Nanami was angry, and rightfully so, but he was damned before he let that anger ruin a visit to a new place. So, without further ado, he stepped up to Nanami and just grinned.

"Aww, don't be like that, Nanami-chan! X is creepy, I know that. He is also an ass, and I know that too, especially based on the stealth and information-gathering lessons he gave our team before he was given a restraining order to keep away from the Demo Squad. I also know I may seem like a hypocrite by saying this, but don't blame the guy too much, will ya? He's managed to go from the bottom as a worthless slave to the top as the master of an incredibly complex information network. He's untouchable and he likes to keep it that way, because this is his home."

Lavan looked over the village with a very fond look in his eye. This place DEFINITELY had a lot of memories for him, and he was damned before any of it was soured and destroyed.

"He protects us like this. Makes a bad first impression, makes us stay away from him. That way, he's still untouchable, still powerful, still doesn't have a weak spot. And that way, he can still protect this village. So don't blame him, please? Pretty please?" He pouted again, giving Nanami a puppy-eyed look. "With sugar on top?"

Kunnai, no longer able to handle the situation without retaining a shred of dignity, whapped Lavan upside the head as he passed by, finally entering the gates. "Just get on with it... And find a room or something. We NINJAS have more important things to attend to." After he spoke, he vanished into the nearest alley, and one could see the form of a shinobi jumping away from rooftop to rooftop towards the center of the village and the tower.

Lavan stuck his tongue out at Kunnai once the ninja wasn't looking and snickered. "Oh, he is SO getting my special underwear treatment at some point, ohhhhh yes. He DEFINITELY will feel the wrath of a Hachi in the form of a twisty wedgie... Heeheeheeeeeee... Anyways. About this Testament stuff..."

As he began walking, motioning the rest of the group that was to enter the village to follow, his mood turned very serious again. "What do you know about the ancient legends of the Four Guardians of Japan and the Bijuu? Besides the fact that the bijuu are powerful and have tails to manage that power and the guardians guard, what else do you know of them? Of their beginning?"

Sayuri followed Lavan and the rest of the group as they finally entered the village of Lava. When Lavan began explaining the Testaments, Sayuri pondered for a moment.

"I know the bijuu were used in the shinobi wars, and the First Hokage distributed them to the other villages once the wars were over. But other than that, nope!"

Meanwhile, Kaoru watched as everyone else left him and Musashi outside of the village. Once they were out of earshot, Kaoru shrugged. "You had something to say to me?"

Nanami wasn't really in a mood to calm down. Aside from the happy-Nanami who was becoming more frequent these days, and the emo-Nanami who had once been the common personality, there was also angry-Nanami; and that was who she was right now.

"I don't like someone accusing my team of treachery," Nanami replied swiftly, and coldly. "And I won't have someone insinuating that I'd work with that woman."

While X had started her bad mood, Lavan had not made it any worse with his actions. In fact, she was almost ready to give a sigh and calm down -- but Kunnai decided to speak up and she rounded on him with a glare that would have put her old man's to shame.

"If you're going to make comments like that, you can stay here rather than come with us on the mission!" She snapped, matter-of-factly.

She only finally calmed down as Lavan asked about the Testaments, and Sayuri spoke up about the Biju.


"I... I think I know some stuff." Sama volunteered meekly. "I mean, I heard some things from..." He trailed off, casting a sideways glance at Nanami. Given her mood, he didn't feel like mentioning his days in Akatauski.

Instead, he slunk back and stayed close to Ryukku. She'd made him cheer up earlier.



Musashi, meanwhile, looked to Kaoru and, once he was satisfied they were alone, he crossed his arms.

"I'm curious about something, kid... well, you already KNOW I'm curious about a LOT of somethings when it comes to you... but there's two things I really want to know. One, why did you come along on this trip, and what's the deal with pretending to be Sayuri's brother?"

He crossed his arms. "And two... what's the deal with the rat?" He was talking about Boota, of course, even if he'd said the wrong animal. "There's something weird about that fuzzball."
