Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ayame had slipped narrowly avoiding slicing her arm on the shovel. She half turned her head as if in denial when Touka started talking about their clans bloodline limit, "I know the history" She said reflecting this little action a little more. She was a little annoyed that Ayame was treating her like a little kid but she supposed that was what would happen until she graduated from the academy which would be some time yet. This was infuriating, the plant just didnt want to move at all and Ayame was starting to get a little over sensitive about it. Breathing deeply she closed her eyes for a moment to recollet herself then continued with her plant repotting

------------------------------------
Repotting the Belladonna
Touka has requested if Ayame could help her repot the smaller belladonna into the garden while she does the same for the larger plant. First, a decent-sized hole must be dug in the garden grounds.
DC: 10
1d20 + Strength mod.
3/3

Now that the hole for the plant is dug, it has to be removed from the pot. Use the shovel to help free the plant (soil, roots, and all) by placing the scapel against the insides of the pot. Be careful though! The plant roots must avoid damage. Once the plant is freed from the pot, all that needs to be done is to place it in the garden ground's hole and fill up with the extra soil any gaps that had resulted from digging.

Ayame half smiled and muttered a thanks of sorts. She briefly considered not taking the advice but common sense and logic won out and Ayame did as Touka advised, turning the spade outwards and using it as a leverage to 'nudge' the plant from its grip in the pot. Her brief annoyance and anger hadnt lasted long as she wasnt one who was often angry or stayed angry for long periods of time. Infact just before touka had arrived she had just gotten over a small anger fit at herself for being incapable and useless but now that she was working for the good of her clan and village she no longer felt that way

Ayame briefly saw Touka walk past her inspecting the other plants and sighed to herself she muttered, "Its not the plant its you Ayame" It was a sort of thing she usually said to make herself work harder and again it proved true. Though she was still no closer to freeing the plant she still continued on thanks to the strange sort of encouragement she gave herself. Touka made it look so easy it kinda made Ayame feel a little overshadowed but that was to be expected of an ANBU black ops and an Academy member.

Rhaim followed Tenma as close to the Senju Estate grounds as the could get without alerting anyone to their presence. He then took the liberty of moving around the building to the left from the main gate so that he could watch a side wall and take note of people entering and exiting the main entrance. The only true fault with his position was that if someone took an immediate left hand turn when leaving the place he would never see them. Though that was the trade off to having the two of them together instead of seperated and he knew that such things would exist at the onset.

The boy made his body low while moving into position, trying to minimize his height so that his chances of being detected prior to the operation would be greatly lowered. His only issue was that he didn't already know the layout of the area very well and thus wasn't able to find a more suitable place to observe from. The Nara remained quiet and hoped that Tenma would not be too upset with his choice of location.

Tucked away with Rhiam in their joint hiding spot Tenma looked over the land. It was an almost pretentiously groomed eutopia and she wasn't exactly sure she wanted to risk messing anything up. Within the shrubs she also kept an eye out for Tairu and, hopefully, his monkey dance. That was something the girl may have payed for. Luckily for both her mind and her wallet he soon showed up with his mute jig. An amused smirk slipped onto her face as she nodded her head towards Tairu, hopefully catching Rhiam's attention. Slipping out, supposedly with Rhiam in tow, she walked over to the boy glad that his plan had worked. "So, what is the news you seem all too eager to tell us?"

...while the vast Senju estate was part of the village, it was by far more isolated than the Hyuuga compound. On the western spine bordered mountains, by far further north, the gate where that child-Sennin, Gekkani, Hyuuga's little puppet mistress, would be guarding the ancient gates of Konoha's fortress. It was hauntingly peaceful, eerie in beauty, isolated from the livery and bust of the village's day-to-day activities. The grounds leading up to the Senju estate, out of respect, had mostly remained unchanged since the Shodaime's day: left the part-forest enclosure it was.

Further traveling up along the path, the grounds there more highly elevated, until gradually crossing the walking path of the small hill would lead the traveler through a series of brightly crimson-painted Oriental arcs, with braided rope from which hung Fuuin charms - seven in total, as they traveled along the granite path - the pathway between each majestic structure connected by painted-bridge rails, separating the pathway from the garden-like forest on either side.

It would seem the children had waited too long in vain outside, hiding in the shrubbery.

At the end of the pathway was a gateway in the traditional oriental style, two Senju stood at guard, intently watching the pathway. Leaving Yokou with Saito and Tairu, he made his way up to the guards alone, without worry, easily assuming once more the dignity appropriate for the head of the royal family, and addressed the guards:

"Good friends, why do you stand guard so sternly on such a day? The day is fair, yet it slips by with no enemy here, but the people of the village."

"We come a long way." Replied Zephyr, serenely, as one of the guards finally answered.

Well, it wasn't EXACTLY a lie.

He and Yokou did come a long way, just really didn't do much physical travel, thanks to Kousei's teleportation art. Even if it did make him sick. He reminded himself to thank Touzoku the next time he saw the Suna Jounin - wait wait, ANBU now...Tou got a promotion after all, didn't he...? - but to more important matters now. How to get a trio of brats in.

Well, Yokou would definitely be able to come with him, for certain.

"Not really." He admitted. "Anzu wrote to me that grandfather won't be home until today, but I wasn't certain when..." There was a slight nervous laugh. "Yuuko and I will be staying a little bit, but, it isn't necessary to alert the cadet clansmen." He was perfectly capable of serving himself tea without aid from the branch family-...

"Come here, Yuuko."

It was then he noticed Tairu had already hidden himself. Probably to go alert his friends...well, that's good. Less troublesome to explain the presence of another Hyuuga.

Saito would follow Yokou when Zephyr gave them the sign that they could approach up the path, and then, he would introduce the boy. "My student, Yakedo Saito-kun here, will be accompanying us." He briefly glanced to the heavy double-doors.

"If you both would be so kind as to open the gates, and also, to lead us in." He made sure to request in the plural... Now then. The brats better get ready now...he can't exactly guarantee how far in the guards will be willing to leave their posts, or also, when they would run into another clansmen.

It's either now or never.
