Oasis looked over in her Kage's direction as he affirmed his previous statement giving an affirmation to her question. She smiled wider and relaxed into the water, that was really cool for her Kage to have that level of vision for her future. Maybe she should try being a little more ambitious herself. She tipped her head tot he side as she thought about the whole situation that had unfolded before her. It really was the better choice that Kenta had made to not fight Sai if he was as powerful as Vyrin made him out to be. So why had Soba and Notwen been so insistent on him fighting? She shook her head and closed her eyes, those two made so little sense to her. Which was hard to believe because of how her mind was usually so scatter. She blinked her eyes open and looked over to her Kage. "Hnn?" she hummed lightly as she heard his question, followed by the riddle. She blinked a few times and sank her head in under the water for a little while. She popped her head up out of the water a few moments later and she nodded a few times "Well..." there was a long pause as she considered the riddle some more. "Theres alot of things it could be... It could be talking about a certain bad ninja that I've read stuff about. He wore a swirly orange mask with only one eye hole in it." she states as she held a hand over her face in a way to cover most of her face except for her left eye. "Or... maybe it has something to do with an orange." she states with a chuckle as she thought about the navel on some oranges that looked like an eye-hole of some sort. "but... I cannot think of anything else it might mean right now." she adds with a sigh.

The duo turned as Vyrin entered the changing room, approached a cubicle on the other side of the room, and began dressing quickly. Notwen finished dressing and turned to the latter, who was almost done getting dressed himself. "Vyrin, our last fight showed me a few things about myself. One is that i'm still pretty weak." he said, holding his Sai's-shirt forehead protector in front of him. "Lord Orasakai gave me his shirt and said i could do anything with it, so I turned it into the cloth for my forehead protector as a symbol of respect. I want to get stronger any way i can, and it would be an honor to be taken up as his student." Notwen bowed to Vyrin, showing what hopefully the dark-haired boy would see as his commitment.

Vyrin barely took any notice of the kid as he finished dressing himself and took hold of his gun, holding it firmly in his grip as he bent head over as though he was in deep contemplation. After a while he holstered his gun onto his side and turned to face the two shinobi, his crimson eyes watching them both with a deep curiosity. "I'm not my father, I can't make those decisions for him or you." He said with a soft sigh before moving to walk past the two and out of the room, stopping only to add on, "If you really want to be his student though... I promise you, it is not the easiest of experiences or lives..."

Soba watched as Notwen bowed to Vyrin. The boy was taking a big step forward. "If you really want to be his student though... I promise you, it is not the easiest of experiences or lives..." Notwen thought it over. He needed to become stronger, and grow in maturity. Being around Sai and Vyrin on the island had given him a taste of what that life would be like. It surely was going to be painful at times, but he was prepared for that. "I have thought over all the consequences of this decision, and am willing to to anything you, or Lord Orasakai tells me to do."

Vyrin laughed loudly as he exited, his words ringing in the room in his absence, "You have no clue what you really are saying."
Sai yawned loudly to himself as he sat on the edge of some building a mile off from the bathing houses. His bright blue eyes shone in the sun light and he sighed heavily as his body slumped over and he stared off in the distance with a bored expression. Yet another day laid to waste. His search hadn't progressed one bit and worse off he was no where near getting any head way with his plans for the future. It felt like he had gotten stuck in a sand pit and was being pushed down every so often, the best he could do was keep from moving at all... But time was still ticking away.

Notwen ran out of the room, catching up to Vyrin as he left he building and getting in front of him. "That may be the case, but as i said before, I am willing to do anything it takes." The boy still had the forehead protector tightly gripped in his hand. Soba followed Notwen out at a slower pace. Once outside, he took a position standing next to his student. Notwen truly is commited to becoming stronger, he though while letting out a long sigh.

Vyrin let out a long sigh as Notwen caught up with him and stood before him with his current sensei. Frowning slight, he turned his crimson eyes to Soba questioningly. 'He's taking this pretty well even though he's being pushed to the side as an obsolete model... I wonder if he understands that even if, and it's a big if at that, Sai says ok.... He wont be coming with us.' Bringing his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, Vyrin shook his head softly, "Are you sure about that?"

"Are you sure about that?" asked Vyrin, pinching the bridge of his nose and shaking his head. "Yes, i am." replied the genin. He was completely sure of his decision. Notwen tied the forehead protector to his head, adjusting it so that the metal plate bearing the insignia of the wind country was centered neatly to his forehead. Soba stood by, prepared for anything that he might have to do. Notwen, i really do hope that you know what you are doing.

((Cheesy post, but my back is killing me and I really feel burnt. Stupid heat))
Vyrin kept his head tucked in as his fingers massaged the soft tissue of his temples. It took a while for him to stop but when he did, his hands went flying to grip Notwen's shoulders firmly so the boy wouldn't be able to avoid him. With his crimson red eyes glaring into the boy's own eyes, Vyrin cast the infamed uchiha genjutsu known as Tsukuyomi. Within a split second, Notwen's mind would be subjected to hours of mental visions of past trainings Vyrin had with Sai. The countless merciless beatings, the skull crushing agony, the many hospitalizations, the frustration of trying to understand why, the demoralizing actions, and repeated tortures. Cutting, stabbing, drowning, burning, electrocution. Not all of the events were memories of Vyrin's but they were all memories of the forms of training one went through under Sai's tutelage.
Releasing the boy's shoulders and turning his head away, Vyrin let out a heavy sigh, "That's... just the good times. Some things, the mind just wont allow one to remember..." The boy whispered as he brought his gloved hand to wipe away the blood that had begun to form at his eyes. Smudging it's existence out from his finger tips, he turned back to look at Notwen with kinder eyes.

Kenta found himself shrugging again. Honestly he didn't really care for riddles like this one. His guess was that even if he figured out what the answer to this particular part of the riddle was, he doubted that it would make any more sense. Perhaps he shouldn't have been so hasty in turning the message in to dust. There could have been more clues hidden on the paper. Oh well. It was too late to worry now. If it meant that someone was coming they'd arrive soon enough and he'd probably feel bad about not having prepared for them for a few seconds and then get over it.

Notwen was unable to react in time as Vyrin held him in place and glared into his eyes. Immediately he was whisked away from the world of reality to a world full of red haze. Images of Sai, Vyrin and others he did not recognize filled his vision. He was transported to the scenes themselves, and witnessed with his own eyes what were the cruel and unusual training methods used by the purple-haired man. It seemed to Notwen that he was in these scenes for several hours. The images subsided and eventually died away. Notwen fell to his hands and knees. What.....the.....hell?! "That's... just the good times. Some things, the mind just wont allow one to remember..." The genin got shakily to his feet. unable to stand fully upright, Notwen stood on buckling knees. "I've been through worse, Vyrin. Don't underestimate my resolve." replied the genin, forcing himself to smile.

Vyrin raised a single eye brow at Notwen, his head pulling back in a slight appalled surprise at the kid's statement. "You've been through worse, hm? And you're standing and functioning? That's good, you don't need Sai then. You'll be strong on your own." The boy said with a snuff before turning away and continuing on his own path into the village, his hands shoved boyishly in his pockets and his lips pursed to whistle his childhood tune.

"You've been through worse, hm? And you're standing and functioning? That's good, you don't need Sai then. You'll be strong on your own." As Vyrin turned and began to walk away, anger surged within Notwen. I will not take no for answer! he thought. Throwing his body at Vyrin with all the strength he could muster, Notwen slid against the sandy floor and held on to the latter's ankles. "I can handle anything you throw at me."

Oasis eventually lifted herself up out of the water and turned to bow lightly at her Kage "I think I've been in the water long enough for now." she chimes with a smile on her face before she proceeded to the shower station to rinse down with cooler water so she would be ready to return outside from the bath. She entered the changing room and deftly dropped the rather soaked towels on the floor with a plop. She stretched out some and looked along her naked torso at the blue markings which donned her sides and the oval shaped one that surrounded her belly button. She had been told time and again what the markings were suspected to symbolize, but is that what they really meant? She shrugged lightly before pulling her clothing from the cubby she had jabbed them into. She gathered up the under garments and put them on first followed by the mesh. she stretched full length again before draping her tunic styled top on followed by her belt which held her forehead protector attached to it. She clamped the belts down which held the top in place and then tightened her belt before pulling on the sleeves cinching down their belts as well. finally she pulled the odd leggings on attaching them to their place on her belt and fastening her leg armor in place. She hopped up and down lightly no ready to go outside. With that Oasis exited the building and walked out into the street.
