Falling, falling, falling, Gan fell for what seemed to be an eternity. The walls of the hole suddenly expanded, leaving behind to a huge cavern, mostly unlit except for the spotlight effect of the Flare in the hole. Gan splooshed into water then, followed by Lucas shortly after him, & San after that. Off at the very edge of the gigantic underground lake an old man sat within a stone chair. Approached, he would be seen as the I.B.D., but his figure was gaunt & mostly skeletal looking. Whatever was happening had him nearly drained of chakra, & his eyes rolled about to see whom had fallen into his personal space. A slight glow from the plants underwater illuminated the few feet above the lake for visibility, & two doors to either side of the antagonist.

Ganchou, having dived into the water, surfaced and reached the shore. Spotting the IBD, he nodded once, before gamely reaching into his pouch and grabbing a tagged kunai. Warily, he called "Siniku?" He kept his gaze steady. There was still a chance...

Lucas landed in the pool and surfaced looking perplexed. how come there was something so deep under ground as this and yet a lot of this was obviously new to the others. gan's aprehention brought him to the conclusion that this was definately a secret to him. Lucas looked down and suddenly became intreagued by the glowing planlife underwater.
"everyone ok? hey gan... you dont seem to recognize any of this. but... what is your opinion of all of this. to me it's almost like some sort of temple. if you wouldn't mind. you and i could go through the right hand door while howaido and san go through the other door."
he said and began to scan what little of the walls he could just along the base lit by the plantlife in the water, if he could find anything significant he would be sure to mention it to the others.

"Well that works..." Howaido gave an impassive look around as he lit his hand with white chakra. "Light here, whos first?" As Ganchou then Lucas and San jumped down he nodded and tightened his Oinin mask before he jumped down to follow last. He kept his senses alert in case they met struggle he would be aware and prepared. At the same he was also watching their backs and from above. As they plummeted into the water one after the other Howaido warned of the water prepared chakra at his feet to land softly and gently standing on the waters surface. It was the IBD, but what was he doing down here with the flowers and devoid of so much of his life force? Was this not his place of being? "Be careful Ganchou-san. I dont like the feel of this. It wreaks of foul play." Howaido walked next to Ganchou and lowered his voice a little. "Good idea Lucas, though if I may make a slight modification to it? I would suggest at least one person stay in this room, someone capable of keep a steady track on the traveling squad members." Where they were now felt like a trap and Howaido did not like situations like this, he was interested in making a plan of action for the foulness in the air.

San listened intently to what ganchou said, and then what lucas suggested. The fact that Ganchou called out siniku ment that the IBD was here.......an the two doors. Speaking out with his tactical intellegence, He felt as if he could give the team a plan that could maybe work out.
Siniku....the IBD......ive got a plan. Lucas is right, i think that we need teams of two, but one needs to stay in this room. We only have 4 people.....so that makes this difficult. I can make a golem here really quick to keep track of all of us, and watch the IBD in case anything were to occur. Lucas and ganchou should go together, as Howadio has his frogs and together we have the bonds golem, and he can continually feed me information. so i think this will work out the best....what you all think?

A drip of water fell from the ceiling, landing in mid-air upon something spherical. Behind the shell, the I.B.D. looked up at the sliding drop of water as it froze to the shield, & then the ceiling lit up in vivid colors. Overhead of the shinobi, what appeared to be a shimmering glaze of memories floated overhead. The I.B.D.'s arm was shown growing from a surrounding field of flowers, & then the whole figure stood up with the memory's vision that of his own. The memory turned to face Siniku, who was laying face down on the ground as Jashin forces with fake Sunagakure headbands encircled the two.
"Siniku, you dumbass! Start making sense, you rotten human, or you're gonna be sorry! Maybe I'll rip your limbs off, one by one! Or maybe I'll put you in a goddamn furnace! How can someone with a big, smart brain get hypnotized like a little b***h, huh? Oh Jashinlord! I love you, Jashinlord! Come over here and give Siniku a big sloppy kiss, Jashinlord! Now pull your head out of your goddamn a** and START ******** HELPING US!"
The memory sizzled at this point, stopping as the temperature in the room dropped significantly. Spots of whiteness appeared along the edges of the lake, moving slowly inwards as the lake started to freeze. Up along the walls & ceiling mirrors began to form, showing the extent of what was happening below them. To either side of the I.B.D. & his translucent shield, the doors remain unfrozen.

San felt the change in temperature, and screamed out loud to the team to get moving. The doors appeared to be unfrozen, so san poped up and began running using the art of water walking as he shouted orders. <******** that! Ganchou lucas take the right, Howaido and i got left. MOVE!!!!"

"I just said that didnt I?" Howaido was caught quickly and interupted, but thankfully. "Got it, Kuchiyose!" Howaido summoned both his frogs gamatatsu and gamakichi to his shoulders as he took off to the left. He was right with San and it was just like old times again. "Oddly, I missed chasing you into near death situations San, heh!" Gamakichi questioned as Gamatatsu remained sullen with the idea of no snacks,"Oi, Howaido, what are we doing here, eh?" Howaido responded only as they got to the door,"Getting the hell out of here to get the IBD like always?" Gamatatsu gave a thumbs up as he yelled, "Yosh! We get some actions Gamatatsu!"

San had to smile. Those toads and Howadio had seen some action with San. Hopefully this would continue. The duo of San and Howadio where on the way to become great protectors of Suna, and doing....well....near death missions and comming out on top seemed to be somthing these two ninja could do well together. With a little bit of Humor and sarcasm in San's voice, he spoke to Howadio while using his ears to see if the others where making it to the right door.
"You and those damn toads....but they will be very helpful now. But lets....BOUNCE!"
San opened the door, then moved off to the side to let Howaido through, a standard breaching tactic, this way They both had a shot of surviving whatever was beyond the door.....

Ganchou had watched the memory play, staring stoically at the scene. Those were no Sand Shinobi, and that meant they'd gotten to him. There was only one way to deal with the situation. He made sure San and Howaido had run into the room, then smiled at Lucas, made a clone, and had it carry him into the next room. The clone wedged the door open with the Kunai from Gan's hand, to show that he would join him soon enough. "Hello again, Captain. It's Ganchou. I know it's been a while. But now I can tell you, with my own mouth, you've done well. You... deserve a rest." He spoke quietly, but directly to this figure of Siniku. As the cold drew ever nearer, he sighed, and finished with "Enjoy... this opportunity, to rest." He grabbed a certain pouch from his belt, looked inside, and grabbed the contents. Putting a touch of chakra in each one, he slowly rolled them towards the figure, giving himself enough time to reach the door and step through, before detonating the bombs as they surrounded the shell.

San looked around as the unthinkable happened. The IBD was stoped, and they had all survived a a jutsu that no one should ever have survived due to good timing on techniques, and a barrier that San himself had created. Allowing the crispy flecks of iron to drop into the ground to be recycled, but gathering some more out of the ground at the same time, the satetsu allowed the Iron Sand to return back into his burden golem. Wtih a smile on his face, and jubilation in his heart, San spoke.
"well, the IBD is finsihed....but we havn't found siniku yet. Lets all get back to the Village and inform Mam-sama of all that has happened, this time getting a sanctioned mission to extract him this time. Besides, The Golem of the Desert itself has already noted us and informing Mam of our location. Lets fill him in as much as we can, and report back. Well my fellow nin....lets go home!!!!"
San moved first from the group on the path back to his home, to lovely Suna....

Ganchou strode with Bast and San to the top of a hill overlooking the vast forest below. He set up a small tent and put out various supplies for map making, before popping on his goggles and striding out to overlook the forest. "What can you make out of it's position...?"

San spoke as his kagura shingan went to work. The Forest itself looked like it was in slight dissaray, as if something major had messed up with its equilibrium. Well, The IBD being killed may have had something to do with it, but San was just going to Report. Bast would know about it cause hers was better trained, but he still had some intel to give.
"The forest looks busy, like something threw off its system....."

Bast yawned and reactivated her Kagura Shingan, using it to probe underground before turning her field of observation toward the Jashin.
"There's one Jofuku critter defending the entrance to the Outpost from what seems to be nineteen Jashin. The Chakra systems of the Jashin are strained, and it seems that they're about to run themselves in to their own graves. The other three Jofuku creatures are sitting underground," she reported before moving onward. "As San stated, the forest is in disarray, although it seems to be because the blood of the Jashin is being absorbed by the trees. Speaking of the Jashin, the remaining three hundred are in an encampment roughly a half-kilometer to the north of the Outpost, so we should be able to go straight through the forest without running in to any of them."
The woman then took a long drink from her flask, drinking it noisily enough that Ganchou would be able to hear every last moist, thirst-quenching drop of liquid rush out of the flask. At the end of her drink, she closed the flask and stowed it once more.
