Waving good bye Manfread turned away from the applauding carpenters and looked at Lucas.
“Report? Which report? The one about the automatons or the deadliest secret in the village?” Manfread asked, it didn't matter which it was but it would probably be better if he had his facts straight, before he left.

"GAAAAANNGGG WAAAAAAYYY!" Several dozen Alvards screamed. Barreling to a stop before the construction crew supply spot, they all dropped off their packages, and all but one ran out into the streets, and shortly afterwards, detonated. Al gave a sigh of relief, wiped his brow, and noticing Manfread, gave a sad little point to the Mail Service Corp. cap on his head.
3/3 Mail
Walking off, he dropped of his cap at one of the mail posts, having been told that he was released for a resting period. He was sure that this wouldn't be his last run in with the Mail Corp., and headed for bed at one of the outerlying refuge locations. He paused on his way, looking up at the now-peaceful evening sky, and gave a large sigh. He hoped Suna would get back to normal in short order, all of this destruction and chaos was bad for his home.

Lucas was taken aback by the coment about the greatest secret of suna. it was highly unlikely that anyone would ever find it out. even he didn't know it.
"lets just stick to the one that wont kill us."
he said beginning to wonder what the secret was. he dragged away manfread before he could spill anything important.

“Your right, automatons it is then,” Manfread said, he looked around then walked off. Being dragged away Manfread followed Lucas to the kage's office. Noticing Al as he barrelled past on what seemed to be a mission. He waved slightly and carried on, no point in making Aniki wait.

  reconstruction in the Dojo Yo-Ko mini arc mission C rank 3 post - 1 post = 2 post
(1/2)
Zane comes to the now broken dojo and meets with the rebuilding team to help fix up the dojo. He start with moving wood over to the dojo to help rebuild it. IT was hard work for someone so small he wasn't really strong just fast. Zane keep it up by starting to hammer in wood while thinking of the training he needed to do after he was done.
(2/2)
Zane next part was to run to grab more wood with his speed he was the fastest one here to bring more wood. They also needed to get out the flood water and clear out the bad wood which isn't that hard but it needed to be done. Once zane was done he moved on to do the next part of Sans request.

Al entered and wandered around. He hadn't really been here lately, not since he'd become a Gennin, at the least. Finding a mostly undamaged private room, he slipped in to find some peace. Noticing an odd scroll dangling open on the wall, he read it and realized that the style it was describing was perfect for him. Studying it further, he pulled out his staff and extended it, entering the beginning stance.
After examining the scroll, he was kind of stunned at the simplicity of the first technique it described. Shrugging, he grasped his staff in both hands, and lunged forwards, overextending himself greatly, his body low to the floor. It was slightly difficult to recover, but he could see how the technique would start with such a basic manuever.
1/1 Forceful Lunge
The next technique was also simple. Al resumed his beginning stance, and then grabbing the haft of the weapon sweeped it out to the side, hitting a training dummy in the side. Again, a simple technique, but necessary.
1/1 Bo Strike
Now the technique became a little more complex. Studying the positioning diagram, he dragged himself over to a training dummy and swivled it to face him. Grabbing his staff, he readied himself in the basic stance.
1/3
Next, he tightened his grip and thrust the staff forwards, slipping at the last moment and losing his grip. Sighing, he picked up the staff and resumed his stance, determined to succeed. He thrust the staff forward once more.
2/3
At the last moment, as the technique prescribed, he loosened his grip and slammed the bottom of the staff with his palm, increasing its piercing capabilities. The dummy poofed in a big cloud of dust as the staff impacted, and Al smiled. This style would certainly be useful. Tired, he sat on a chair in the corner and rested slightly.
3/3 Piercing Thrust

Manfread Raced along the roof tops of the buildings, leaping around his patrol was uneventful. However he was ever vigilant, trying to find anything suspicious or out of place. Arriving at the training grounds he hopped down from the buildings and looked around. There were a few people training diligently on various techniques. Manfread had an urge to go and do some training himself, he wanted to know more about the first gate he managed to open, and maybe some other useful skills might pop up during his research. But he continued with his mission noting down any breaks or structural damage that may have been over looked, he also kept an eye out for anyone who was suspicious. Finding nothing here he moved on to the next area.

Howaido entered the dojo and sat down against the wall heavily. He looked at the bottle slowly as he saw his memories floating in it. He had spent his entire life in this place with Mamorou, Bast, San... These halls were his house, he trained day and night to become great. And now he wanted to leave all of that, for what? A man who claimed death and abandoned his own child for another family in another village. A sister who didnt even know he existed a family who never mentioned his name. What did he want with these kinds of people now!? Howaido lashed out and threw the sake bottle spewing its contents about the floor and smashing it against the opposite wall like a piece of fruit. He would put it away in his mind and use it as training fuel. Getting up he went straight for the dummies.

The clone dropped in through the window, descretly of course, and would wait for Howaido t get caught up in beating the living s**t out of the punching bag. After he knew he had his full concentration on the bag, the clone spoke.
"Its been a while sense ive seen you like this. The last time was when we thought we had lost siniku. Whats in your head howiado? Spill it out for me..."

At first Howaido tensed as he threw the last punch and literally knocked the bag into a hole in the wall. Howaido rolled his shoulders though and turned around,"San... I shouldve known you were there... Its just... its personal troubles, I was going to talk with Mamorou, but I wanted the room to be empty." Howaido threw off his sweaty shirt and laid his mask on it as he walked over and sat next to the clone. "I already talked with James a little.... Ive been distracted recently as you probably saw with my big ******** up in the test. Ive just.... have you ever had an idea, a thought that just wouldnt let you go? Keeps clawing at the back of your mind until you cant take it anymore?"

The clone approached Howaido giving calming, suithing, reassuring messages.
"Of course buddy, we all have thoughts like that. Why did my father sacrifice himself? How will i act when the time comes for me to make the same decision? Why do these younglings trust me? Why do i have such a devotion to the village. Wat are your questions? prehaps i can help point the way....."

"Nah, I shouldnt burden you with my problems..." Then again he was here and its not like anyone would die from him talking about it. "It all started from a while back, I met a girl... turned out she was my sister. I couldnt put it though, Ive told you about my history, my family died protecting me and Bast and Mamorou raised me. So how could there be a girl barely four years younger than myself in Kirigakure? She told me that my father was there, remarried. It makes me wonder what really happened, if he even really sacrificed himself for me at all. I put it aside for years, but its been there ever since, I dont know why I want to go see him or what it is that makes me bother with this at all. My father is dead in my mind and I know that... but why do I want to stir up buried skeletons if I know that?" Howaido looked over to the broken sake bottle and sighed,"I had all but made up my mind to ask Mamorou for Sannin status so I can leave the village. Hes been begging the question to give me the promotion the entire year, if he wasnt so sure Bast would use another Sannin to stir it up as her partner in crime. It was when I had my talk with James though that I started questioning myself again.... Do you know what he told me after we had caught up? He said that I was the first person to ever sit down and talk with him one on one... I was the first person to ever make him feel like I cared, I wasnt too wise for him or too busy... I just cared and I wanted to help him out."
Howaido turned his attention away from himself for a moment,"He was really disturbed by the mission at the port. It took all the advise I had I think to just get him to finally let it go. The way he said it, it made me feel like the only close friend he had, yet at the same time I felt a fraternal sense of pride for what hes become while I was gone." Howaido picked up a water bottle from the dojo floor he had been drinking from, he swished it around. "The one thing he said goodbye to me with was what really got me thinking again. He said: For the record friend, This Village is your home. Don't be quick to leave it. It never leaves you."

San listened intently, letting the troubled ninja finish. It was rough seeing Howaido so messed up like this, as he was usually Suna's guiding light, the one to push through darkness. But, "It took a village to raise a kid" and thats why he was here. Peers and rivalries only allowed on to grow. When the dust settled, everyone needed to help each other.
"I was always taught, a family has nothing to do with you blood, and everything to do with you bringing. You have such a strong connection with us, and with this village. You have told me to on several occasions you would die for this village. Why Howaido? Why the sudden change? Just because someone may or may not still be alive? I dont think this is a grave enough fact to make you like this. My parents died sacrificing themselves to save us in the attack 19 years ago. Sense then, i not only had to raise myself, but had to raise Sarus. mam and Bast are as much a "mom" and a "dad" just as my actual blood was. But its the intent and love that counts old friend. You know, without a shadow of a doubt, that the people you train and practice with at the drop of a hate would fight for you. I HAVE, and we defended this village several other times as well. Dont let your actions become waisted. I cant tell you what is right, or what to do. Only you know the answer. But i also dont think you would be willing to ive up your village for someone who lied to you...."

"I think.... I think it is because I want answers... there is something calling me there and I feel like if I ignore it bad things may happen. Regardless you have cleared my head a little, I will speak to Mamorou after the meeting and ask him what he thinks I should do. Like you said he is just as much our father as anyone else, and it is a time like this when one needs a true fathers advise. I think I will stay here and train for now, I know you are a clone, the iron tinge is easier to smell after all these years. You can stay and... keep me company if you like and let me know when the meeting is over. Or I guess you could leave and report this to the real San." Howaido stood up as he turned to go back to the dummy,"Just know that you are right... I wouldnt give this up for anything.... And if I leave this village I want you all at those gates... after all a family deserves to say goodbye... and they deserve to know their cousin, brother, father, best friend will not be gone forever..." Howaido couldnt help that he was feeling a little emotional as he turned back around and took Sans hand in a firm shake. He then pulled him in to a one armed hug as a tear went down his cheek thinking of having to leave this man, this best friend. "And I want you to be there every day in the morning, I promise I will return to these gates one fine morning San. I want you to promise you will stand at the gates for the horizon every morning!" It was now that the tear turned into another and yet another as he said his good byes to yet another friend. "After all.... a man.... deserves to know that no matter where he goes.... his Brother will be waiting for him to return..." Yes Howaido thought of San as nothing less than that, and he wanted him to know at least that and remember it... if nothing else. [This is the start of Howaidos character mini arc in case you were curious, he already said good bye to James, now you, next is Mamorou and Bast.] Nice theme if you are interested for what prompted this post music really tones my writing being a musical guy myself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJyUe6bmOwA&NR=1
