Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hana laughed alittle as she took one and bite a piece of it. "So were you impressed at all how I handled the children? After all, I just couldn't help myself with all of their cute little faces." She said as Kina poked her head out and ate the rest of the ginger snap. "They even took a liking to my cute friend." She said as she began to pet Kina's head. "She just loves children." She said smiling as her kimono was able to hide the blood that was drying on her fur. "Have you been able to find a room yet without those pests?" She asked as she licked some crumbs off of her lips.

"There's no need, I have a safe house in this village. If you wish you may join me. But don't anger my neighbor, if she's home, she's always angry. You see one of the Sannin visits this village quite regularly, took me three years to figure out where she stayed. Normally she's quite nice, but watch that right hook." laughed Zeru as he rubbed his cheek.

Hana closed her eyes half way and began to chuckle slightly. "I guess I'll have to watch myself then. Of course I'm sure I won't have any idea where to go. Unless I could have someone show me the way." She said with a somewhat sly smile on her face.

The Hokage having not only send Kakashi and Kinzoku to the Falls Village but also several ANBU and Elite Jounin with them on this A- Rank Mission.
Looking around to see that the front of the gates were shut tight.
Opening a small hole they're eyes widened in shock to seethe sight of horror before they're eyes.
The streets and the walls of buildings around them were stained in blood and entrails of the villagers and fallen nin, it was the utter sight of a slaughter.
Walking around deeper into the village, they're weapons drawn out, could not find any survivors in sight.
One Leaf nin coming out of the evacuation caves running to the ground, puking his guts out that the mere sight of the mangled and slaughtered children that what seemed to be eaten alive by something as Kakashi peered into the dark cave, covering his mouth as he looked upon the deep pool of blood before them, "They never had a chance....this could of only be done in by demons. Check to see if at least if the SuirenKage survived." muttered Kakashi as he whispered to an elite nin whom vanished before Kakashi and the rest to conform a quick report on the status of the village.
After having confirm that the Fall's Kage was killed, they went through the report, signing as a devastating blow not the village in general but to themselves as a village that they couldn't help they're allies in that time of need. "All 8,765 villager were killed, excluding the 378 children that we found dead and about 855 ninja and ANBU were killed. Status on damage on the village; catastrophic." reported the Leaf nin as he finished.

Hana smiled and got up and walked right after him as Kina kept still inside Hana's kimono. "Alright. Lead the way."

Entering into the Land of Tea, Yurei thought it was best to find the nearest city or town possible and rest for awhile. Coming into a bustling city, Yurei began to wonder where Zeru and Hana had wondered off to as he entered into a nearby tea house to take a quick rest.
Having ordered a plate of dumplings and green tea, he quickly ran into the back of the room to change and began to remove his Fall's ANBU gear and clothes and placed on his black silk robes, looking almost as if he was an noble of a rich and ancient family.
Sitting down and enjoying his refreshing treat, he tapped on the waitresses shoulder asking if she had served someone looking like to be Zeru, but quickly nodded not knowing that it didn't match the description. Pondering for a moment in thought he asked her, "Did this man have good taste for cookies with a tall glass of milk?" he asked. "Actually yes, he sat over there in the corner with a young lady i believe." answered the waitress. "That so? do you perhaps know where they went after?" asked Yurei. "Ummm....let's see here, paid for his cookies and then left toward the direction of the Evergreen Hot springs." she replied. "That so? did you get the name of the young lady that was with him?" asked Yurei as he finished his dumplings and tea. "No, I didn't, but she had a small scarlet Kitsune with her." she said as she took Yurei dishes. "Thanks." replied Yurei as he left her a tip and left the tea house toward to search for the two.
Having come to where the Hot springs should be, Yurei was stopped by two large guards. Stepping back some and asking a gentleman next to him, "what's beyond that entry?" asked Yurei. "The penthouses, only a select few are allowed in there." the man replied. "That so eh?" said Yurei with a smirk as he approached one of the guards, but stopped Yurei from further passage. "I'm sorry where are my manners." said Yurei as he pulled a large wallet from his robes and showing whom he was, "Oh Lord Yurei, we didn't recognize you with all that hair, how have you been?" asked one of the guards. "Eh, I suppose i'm alright, came here to pay off some dept to you're boss, thought since i'm here i might as well come and see what he wants of me." replied Yurei as he was gained passage through, but quickly turning back and asking them, "Might you know where I can find a man named Zeru and a young woman that was with him that has a small Kitsuna?" asked Yurei.

Hana smiled softly and bowed to the man in front of her. She then turned to Zeru. "I am to assist you with anything that you may need to help you on your journey at the best of my nowledge and power." She said as her eyes slowly closed and then opened as a smile appeared on her face.

Popping out of the bushes at a fast dashing pace, trying to escape the village, seemed to be a ninja that was not from the waterfall village, but from the Star village as he ran right through two opposing leaf nin killing them within seconds as he tore right through them and still continuing to run.
"Capture him now, do not let him escape!!" yelled out Kakashi as he pulled out his kunai and began to give chase to the star nin.
