Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jason started to walk down the path with Tatsu on his shoulder. "Well, Tatsu. I think this village isn't really worth my time. But, I'm having fun. How 'bout you?" He asked his reptillian familiar. Tatsu looked at Jason with a small smile and nodded but then started to laugh as he remembered that Jason was blind. "Oh right. I forgot that you can't see. Anyways, yes. I'm having fun going around places. It's nice to go here and there every now and then." Said Tatsu as they continued onwards. Jason reached into his pouch and pulled out some clay and started chewing on it, telling Tatsu that it was for defensive purposes.

Jason climbed only the giant bug and it seemed to gain life quickly as Jason inserted chakra to animate the insect. It bent it's knees and it's paper like wings started to hum as they flapped hard up and down. Suddenly, it jumped upwards and into the sky where it rushed at the man above them. Noticing that Jason was getting closer, the man turned himself around and started to fly off as quickly as possible into the distance, hoping that he would get away from Jason without much effort other than his all out burst of speed. Jason quickly asserted more chakra into the Grasshoppers wings and started to gain more speed untill it matched his prey's.

Jason smiled and realised it must be a mask. He pulled out a modified mask and passed it on to Tatsu, who accepted it gratefully and put it onto his face to filter out any toxic gasses they may encounter. Jason, being the puppet he was, didn't require the mask but instead was only to not breath, thus not allowing him to talk. They continued flying through the small gaps in the trees until they suddenly entered a clearing, and at the end of this clearing, was a creavise that Jason noted to have an extremely poisenous gas that would have deavistating conciquenses on anyone who would breath the gas in.

Suddenly, the pain started to become to painful to ignore. He quickly grabbed the mark and fell to his knees, but the giant insect continued to push onwards. Jason grimaced at the pain for a long while and started to see appraises of Orochimaru infront of him. Jason pulled out of the gas and stared at him. "Orochimaru... What the hell do you want." Said Jason as he let go of his seal and stood infront of his former idol. "Like everything else. A talk. A new body has been brought back with my mark. Find him. Take him in and teach him all you know about that seal of yours." Said Orochimaru. "And if I refuse?" Asked Jason. "What could a dead guy do to me?" He asked. Suddenly, there was an extreme pain where he seal was and he found himself back in the gas. It was all a .5 second dream.

As the man reached the center of the clearn and began to turned around to face Sage's direction, Sage quickly noticed the fact that his arms were glowing a light purple and figured that this was not going to be good. Sage had started to move to a more defensive stance when the strings of chakra started shooting out from his palms at her. It was only within a matter of about a second before Sage was find herself completely bound and was unable to move while looking at the man. Sage then heard his questions and responded, "I am Sage a young chuunin of the Miyanari Clan. I was sent to find him by a friend and Sensei to complete my training.

Sage then seemed to be caught up in deep thought as she stood there unable to move. The thoughts that were racing through her head was if the man was going to help her find Sumare or if he was going to try to gain some information about the girl before the man would attempt to ransom her to someone for money. After a few more moments pass while weighing the choices Sage then finially says, "My Sensei's name was Hokuto." Sage watched as a some what shocked look came across the face of the man upon hearing the name. Sage then says, "I have a scroll that he gave me in my pocket if you require proof."

As Sage starts to feel the string of chakra slowly falling off, where she had been bounded and unable to move until now. Sage started to realize that the man was going to help her to train or was going to take her to Sumare. Sage then took a rather long and deep breath as she thought about how to answer the mans question. Sage finially split her full lips to allow these words to come out, "I have found myself on the shores of Hoshigakure when Suzaku decided that this would be the best place for me to increase the number of ways in which I would be able to assist him in the quest layed before him."
