Welcome to Gaia! ::

Death smiled, they were both right and wrong at the same time. That was the history that was written, but it wasn't completely true. Death inquired, "You're both right, but what would you say if I told you that The Village Hidden in Towns hasn't been destroyed yet?" The secret was out, and Death could smile in relief.

Expecting both of his chuunin to be surprised, Death paused a moment before continuing, "What would you say if I told you that I've been going back and forth between these two villages secretly every week?" Death decided to stop now because it was likely that questions were about to bombard him.

((Thanks for the input guys, and the ZT are initials. And Haruko, what movie?))

Haruko was a bit taken a back by Death's words and began considering the true reason behind the lie. 'I just don't get it, why would they do something like this? And for Death to have been going back and forth between the two places...' Hearing Kenji's first comment, Haruko broke our of her confused thoughts and found herself releases a soft, small giggle despite the current situation. As Kenji bombarded Death with questions, Haruko clicked each one off from her mind so that she knew which ones were answered and which ones were not. 'Hm, those are some good questions, there was one that I didn't even thought of asking yet.' Looking at Death, Haruko waited expectingly for his answer.

{How to train your dragon. It was a pretty good movie.}

So much was said, and so much of it said matter-of-factly as if they had any idea what he was referring to, Kenji had trouble processing what was a joke, or the truth, or involved the other village, or this one. Everything rattled around in his head, but several things stuck out from what he said... "A war in the other village?... how are you only the second in command there, but first in command here? How does that even work? Do they know about this place? Do you have student counterparts? what's the whole meaning of this?..."

Kenji couldn't really stop himself. Death was speaking so cryptically at times that it simply left Kenji with 5 more questions for every question that he answered. Suddenly however he stopped, as his mind realized something... "I can assure you that it WILL be true. It's not like i lied about what happened, it just HASN'T happened yet." Kenji didn't know what Death was referring to, but if it bore any number of the connotations that he thought it could, the the moment when the announcement would rock his world just hit...

"Death-sensei... what do you mean, it WILL happen? Are you saying that you are traveling to a place that exists in a time that we haven't made it to yet?... or are we in that time, and the other village hasn't made it to us yet?..."

Kenji didn't really know what to say and quite honestly, he was still a little bit confused. His theory had obviously been ridiculous, but at the same time, Death was speaking backwards. Had he revealed that he was able to sense the future in a way, then it would have made sense when he labeled a village as 'destroyed'. More then anything however, Kenji was simply amazed, if not completely and utterly confused with how fast things were happening.

Kenji was intelligent, and quick thinking... but his people, and his entire life were nothing like what he had seemed to experience here in this village. Everything was moving so fast... change was so inevitable, and everything seemed so fleeting. People in his village already lived on average about three times longer then most people, but to think that a village could rise and fall along with governments and leaders so quickly was almost beyond his comprehension. However, even with all of this, and despite his confusion, Kenji would do his best to assist his sensei with whatever he needed, even if he didn't understand it.

Looking over to Haruko, he gave a slight nod to let her know what he was thinking before bowing very politely to Death... "I can't say that I understand all of this, but I don't need to if you say that it is what needs to be done. I am honored to have been selected to serve you in this way and I promise to care for and protect the village with all of my power in your absence, no matter how long it might be. I am however confident that you will not die so easily... so I will await your return and will continue to follow your orders as you would have of me. I would not presume to speak for her, but Haruko is quite capable and a fitting leader, so I believe that the two of us can accomplish this together."

Glad was too simple a word to describe the relief Death felt that his two most trusted students were willing to help him with his crazy plan. They had already helped so much throughout the village and now they took on even higher responsibilities. Haruko and Kenji were invaluable and Death trusted them completely.

There were only a few details left to go over before Death left. First Death had to establish their meeting place, "After I leave, you should check for my return every night. I will arrive about midnight at the crossroad in the forest to the west. Just go across the unfinished bridge and follow the trail until you get to the intersection in the woods. From there, I'll lead you to Hidden Towns." It was a simple enough plan and not to difficult to do.

This is an international mission so we should probably go in disguise, Death thought to himself. Death could use his anbu mask and cloak, especially since it prevented people from reading his chakra signals and detecting his identity. As for Haruko and Kenji, "I'd like to go in disguise so you two will have to get together full body cloaks of some sort, and a mask too. You could probably use an unpainted anbu mask if you want," he offered.

Haruko simply nodded in response when Death mentioned their orders for after he leaves and waited patiently to see if Kenji had anything else to add. Having nothing to add to Kenji's words, Haruko just smiled and nodded in response to his signal. Standing up, Haruko bowed once more to Death, "Leave everything to us Death-sensei, we won't let you down so feel reassured when you leave to complete your mission." finished speaking, Haruko quickly headed over towards the door currently held opened for her by Kenji. "Thanks." Muttered Haruko to Kenji as she walked passed him and out the door.

Narkosa walked along the path toward Death seneis house wondering if anyone notice Narkosa's absence. Sighing heavily Narkosa fely a deep wieght drop his heart into his churning stomach. "Why do I feel like I do nothing right anymore everyone has surpass me, but I know that I can surpass them quickly," A sliver of a smirk stretch across Narkosa's face as he spoke. Reaching the destination Narkosa straightened his face and simply knocked upon Death sensei's door. The house was filled with with the sound of Narkosa's knock, listening carefull the young gennin didn't hear anything stir within the walls of his sensei's house. Turning around Narkosa knew this was only a slight set back in his plan to find Death. Looking around Narkosa calculated another plan for finding Death sensei it was something he didn't like but it was something that had to be done "Great I gotta go talk to people... living people," Narkosa shuddered at the sound of people knowing he had no other choice he walks off to find anyone who could give him any information upon his Sensei's whereabouts.
