Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Shash tell Tora to go back to the house just in case that someone tries to send us a message And we won't need her for the mission. OK?" Then they continued to walk and Chris walked a little slower as he walked past a puddle then he continued to walk but still a little distance back from Inari and Shash.

"Um I think it's best if you send Tora back. And no you don't need to keep an eye out just stay near Inari." Chris continued to walk a little distance behind them.

"Fine then but just keep her close. [Just then a long Sickle and Chain wrapped around Chris.] Protect the bridge builder." Then the chain tightened and then cut Chris into tiny pieces. Then the two men started running at Inari with their claws ready to strike.

As the two ninja were running towards Inari, they got close enough and then one of them got close and cut Shash and Tora on the hand. Then after one did that Chris appeared next to both of them and grabbed the necks and knocked them both unconscious. The he said "sorry I took so long but I had to see what they were after and you might want to get the poison out of your hand and the same for Tora too while I tie these two up." Then Chris dragged both of the ninja to a nearby tree and tied them up.

"Inari we need to talk." I knew it would come to this, well a few years ago the survivors of Gatou's men came back but they came back with some strong ninja and some strange magic that the leader uses on his hand to turn people to stone. And in our struggle to fight we lost the bridge that my grandfather built and I have already started rebuilding it but I can't unless I can finish the bridge to the thunder nation and receive help from them who despise the ninja that have taken over our village, and we will have to take a boat to our village because it's the only way to get in. "Well is that all because if so we have no choice but to keep going, and these ninja you talk about I think I may have heard of them before but I'm not sure." Then Chris walked over to the two ninja and used a paralysis jutsu on them, then he took out a kunai that had a paper tied to the end of it and then he threw it high in the air and after he did this it exploded in a blue light. A few minutes later a hawk flew down and rested on Chris's shoulder and then he tied a small note to the birds leg the the hawk took off and flew back to the leaf village. "Well we should get going, I sent word to some guards to get these two and lock them up until I come back." Then Chris turned and started walking.

Chris stopped and said, "Yes but only for a minute and Gerireu.......no it can't be him because he died on an island from his own weapon that he tried to use and got caught in it and had himself turned to stone but this person may be his son or his brother and Shash be sure to bandage your wound so that you don't loose any more blood." Then he sat on a rock and look over a map that he brought with him. And Inari just stood in place then he sat on the ground with his legs crossed until they were going to leave.

"OK then we'll be on our way now." Then Chris put his map away and stood up then Inari got up as well. Then a second after they all started walking again.
