Vyrin turned around in disgust and looked at the child holding his ankles. With cold eyes he turned to look at Soba, half expecting him to do something but when he didn't he sighed heavily and cracked his knuckles. With his jaw clenched tightly, he raised his hand high in preparation but suddenly hesitated and instead waved towards Oasis as he spotted her leaving in the not to far distance. "OI! OI! Mind helping with this here, please?"

Oasis cocked her head to the side as she was hailed by Vyrin. She trotted over to see a rather pitiful sight. Notwen was clinging to Vyrins legs, what was he doing? She blinked a few times her head slowly tipping in the other direction. "...Notwen what on earth are you doin?" she questions looking down at him, rather confused at his current position. She considered just stamping on his hands that would make him let go, but that was one of her comrades so harming his really wasn't the answer. "I... think you should respect yourself some more, stand up Notwen don't lay on the ground like that." she states as she tried to figure out exactly what he was doing.

Notwen picked himself up from the ground and dusted himself. Soba came over and supported him as he wobbled. "So much for that training plan, eh N?" he asked smiling. Once he got the balance of holding up Notwen, Soba brought him over to a crate to sit. "Yeah, well i'd prefer hanging out with you over those two. If i get rejected after getting put into a genjutsu, and willing to give up everything i have now, i'll just forge a new path." Soba kept a straight face, but mentally was relieved. Notwen turned to Oasis who had arrived on the scene and told him to get up. "Sorry about spoiling your time of relaxation back in the bath. I hope it didn't hinder my chances of joining your team. sweatdrop "

Oasis rolled her eyes lightly as he stood and dusted himself off, that strange sensei Soba was there just like a nanny. She blinked a few times as a funny image of the man in a maid outfit flashed before her very eyes, and she giggled lightly. "Hnn...?" she blinked and then bonked Notwen on the top of the head. "Psh, you take everything so seriously." she states with a grin. "If things don't work out with those who are my current team then we can think about that. Right now I am assigned to work with Fuyu and Hatsuma, so I cannot change that ya know." she muses with a bright smile "but in other new what you did back there didn't hinder any chances of you making friends with me." she states with a wide grin. "Oi, so... uhm... why were you clinging to his ankles like that?" she questions curiously.

Vyrin chuckled lightly to himself, "Oh he's not doing anything but begging to have a chance to abandon your village and have my father train him." The boy said with another laugh before looking at the boy with a huge face of disgust, "Quite hilarious, I have to say. You really nothing more then a worm... Pfft, I think I'd prefer that beast back on that island to someone like you. Can't be over here so you'll crawl back there... pathetic."

Oasis paused hearing what Vyrin was saying. abandon his village? She looked from Vyrin to Notwen. Was this true? Her brow furrowed as she attempted to figure out what was going on here, however thinking about what Vyrin said and what she had come upon, she came up with only one conclusion. Vyrin wanted to leave the sand, to train with either Vyrin or Sai, a man who has made himself known to be on ill terms with their kage. She closed her eyes for a moment before looking back to Notwen. Then up to Soba her eyes dark, piercing, and confused. "...Is what he is saying true?" she questions both of them at the same time. "were... you going to forsake our home...? For what?" she questions as she looked over to Vyrin, really the only logical answer was for power. She clenched her jaw tight how infuriating. It was so frustrating for her. Why would he choose to do something like that, especially at a time like this. "Vyrin..." she paused and took a deep breath casting a look back to the other two. "He wanted to train with your father, for his power... am I assuming correctly?" she questions obviously a fair amount of frustration and confusion in her voice.

Vyrin cleared his throat with some difficulty before nodding his head and staring back at Oasis, "His exact words were, 'I want to get stronger any way i can...'" The boy said doing his best not to mock Notwen's voice as he turned his head to look at the kid, his eyes cold and hard as he stared at him. 'You brought this upon yourself, kid. All actions come with consequences, hope you are ready for them.' Vyrin thought to himself in reference to Notwen and his actions. With a sigh he looked at Soba for a moment before looking back at Oasis.

"Yeah, it's true." said Notwen while staring darkly at Vyrin, "I was going to leave the village, though it wasn't my intention to forsake my country." Having rested enough, Notwen got up and approached Oasis. "Sure, going off in search of power can be a bad thing, depending on how much you are willing to give up. I have only one thing left to give up, and that's my sensei. If he couldn't come with me, then i would have taken another path to power."

The bath had been pleasurable, but like all good things it had to end, after all, it wouldn't do for the Kage to get all pruny. He also had other things that he needed to look into, and he was going to need to be on constant patroll so that the first time any trouble started actually popping up he could take the appropriate, or possibly inappropriate counter actions. As he had left the bathhouse, once again dressed and equipped as he was any time that he was traveling the streets of any village, even his own, he couldn't help but take notice of a little bit of commotion on the street ahead of him. It looked like once again the children were all hanging out together, and while Sai had slipped off to wherever it was that he was going, Vyrin still wandered the streets. It was time to investigate just what was being communicated between this group.
Kenta had left the bath soon after Oasis, and had heard the last bit of the speech from Notwen. His black clothes hugged his body as he looked at the boy for a moment and then he slowly brought his hand down to his side and moving in much the same way that a western cowboy would move when he was ready for the draw at high noon. He looked forward at the orange haired boy and he spoke up softly.
"Your mission to keep tabs on Vyrin is over, Notwen. You can drop your act now." His cold dark eyes watched the boy and a soft smile spread across his lips.

Oasis closed her eyes for a bit as her jaw clenched tight. "...When one goes in search of power with their head in the soil, all they discover is more and more darkness." she states in a steely tone as she quoted something from her father. She opened her eyes and looked at Notwen and held a hand up "stay a few paces back please..." she states calmly as she looked at Vyrin and then to Notwen again. She was originally trying to decide if she should trust the friendly stranger, or her ally, but he himself validated the question with his own words. "If your sensei would allow you to leave on a path like that... I'm certain he would find himself unwelcome here and would have no other choice but to join you... I'm certain the both of you already knew this." she states quietly as a gust of wind lightly raced back her short red hair. She couldn't really believe what she was feeling or thinking right now. As she tried to figure it out she heard the voice of her Kage. Was this all just part of a mission he was on? She didn't know what to think of it, such a mission wouldn't have you begging to leave with someone.

"Your mission to keep tabs on Vyrin is over, Notwen. You can drop your act now." said Kenta as he approached the group." "Phewwww," said Notwen, letting out a long sigh of relief, "i didn't know how much longer i could keep up this charade." Notwen wasn't a very good actor, and the fact that he had given it his all to act like someone he wasn't personality wise, was a straining ordeal. He went and sat back down on the crate to relax his nerves, which were still shot from the Vyrin's Tsukuyomi.

Kenta's eyes turned to Notwen as he went to go sit down. He was going to have to keep a close eye on that one. He seemed to be a very troubled individual. It was difficult to tell which side of him was sincere and which wasn't, and when the act had actually started. It was impossible to believe that both the Notwen of a few moments ago, and the Notwen from back at the bathhouse were the same though. One of them had cried out about him not doing enough to defend the village, and the other had been prepared to walk away from said village in the search of personal gain. If both were true then they were looking at a walking contradiction, and that made him of particular interest...it made him unpredictable...and Kenta didn't like dealing with unpredictable people.
He knew that there would be time to find out who he had in his roster that he could set up with this troubled Uchiha to report back to him on anything peculiar. It seemed that just by appearing Sai had caused deeper damage than could be seen as wreckage on the street...and honestly he couldn't even blame the purple haired man this time.

Oasis took a deep breath and let out a long stuttered sigh, so perhaps it was all just a ruse. She felt relieved, and then shortly after very angry. Her brow furrowed frustratedly and she turned with a stamp to face both Kenta and Notwen. "You jerk!" she shouts pointedly at Notwen as she scooped up a stone from the walk way and sent it rocketing to the wall beside Notwen's head. She stamped again before turning away from their and taking a few steps away, she was frustrated with this setup, and with having not known, and well with everything in general. She growled some and took a great number of steps away from there. Notwen was so strange now, he was asking to be in her team but he was wanting to leave and become powerful, or was he? he sure seemed to be honest in the way he was acting. She rubbed at her face with her hand it was annoying on multiple levels.

"You jerk!" Notwen's eyes opened wide as the rock Oasis threw smashed into the wall next to his head. Apparently she was very upset. "Ummm, Oasis i know you must be upset at me right now, but please let's not cause any more damage to the neighborhood. Lord Kenta has to pay for the repairs, you know. sweatdrop " Notwen studied Oasis' and Kenta's behaviors. Was it him, or did the two seem disturbed by his presence?

Kenta sighed softly as Oasis came to grips with the fact that they had been watching Vyrin and really that had been a big part of the reason that everyone had gone to the bath together, "I'm sorry Oasis, the blame falls upon me." He closed his eyes and waited for her to lash out, "I should have attempted to inform you of what was going on." Honestly though, he hadn't kept anyone else informed about what was going on either. He had figured that with Vyrin looking and acting so much like Sai that if they followed him around and acted like he was a suspicious person long enough that the purple haired bandit would show up and that it would eventually yield more information for him. In the end apparently he hadn't needed to be so cloak and dagger about it, as apparently any of the children could have told him what he needed to know, but there was also something to be said about gather information on one's own, and so far he still hadn't really gathered the information that he really wanted.
He knew from One-eye's stories that Sai Orasaki had once been a ninja from the village hidden in mist, but he also knew from One eye's stories that he had once been a ninja from the village hidden in leaves, and spent some time in the earth country, and then some time in mist himself before becoming the Kazekage. There had also been mentions of an organization of freedom fighters, but that part had been hard to understand. The key point was that just because someone had been from a village once upon a time it didn't mean that they had any connection to that village after that. One-eye had apparently been born in Fire but hated the place for pretty much his entire life.
He groaned softly as he realized that he had only dealt with half of the problem. At the moment he had no idea where Fuyu was, but at least he knew that Akane was with him. He brought his hand up and scratched the back of his head.
