Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oasis was bummed that he had moved out of the way, however pleased and thus forgot about the moment of letdown when he told her how to get there. Oasis spun around as she listened to the directions, after a few moments she jumped as hard as she could and went high enough to look around for a moment as she bounced up and down a few more times. "Yea okay I see it over there!" she shouts energetically as she pointed at it, she was about to bolt in its direction until Fuyu offered to walk with her, so she wound down some and nodded before realizing he wouldn't know she responded with a nod. "Yea, okay that sounds like fun!" she states as she trotted in place for a few moments before walking ahead of him by a few paces and turning back to face him. "Okay so lets go then yea?" she chimes with a big grin.

Oasis spun about when he asked a question, hurray someone was asking her a question. "I used my very own technique." she states with a big grin which even her voice portrayed. "Its a technique where I use my special thick water to drench an opponent and make it so they cannot move and stuff." she adds as she paced about in small circles while still heading in the direction of the kage's office. She didn't explain it completely because she figured it would be a sufficient explanation, she figured everyone knew what she meant by it. "Hey, maybe later I can show you when you are able to see." she states with a big smirk. She trotted about some more "Hn, oh yea. Well... Mostly cause I wanted to, cause there aren't any others. but also cause the cheif said I have a natural talent for chakra, and the water element. Back home when I was born poppy found a big well of water and it saved our village, oh, also the chief said that I was born a good omen because of the blue marks I have on my arms and legs that are blue like the color of pure water chakra." She states, rambling a bit here and there, she loved talking and it was always more fun when she could tell stories about herself, not in a selfish sense but in a sense that it was fun to get to know people and make friends. "Alot of the other villagers called me 'the water princess' because once I was old enough to walk around on my own I was constantly finding new water sources for the village." she finished her explanation with a bit of a flourish vocally. "...OH, why did you wanna become a ninja?" she questions as they rounded a corner on the path towards the Kage's office building.

A playful little grin played across Sai's lips, lines on his face pulling back to form laugh lines that had been forever etched into his face from age and use. It was always the same wherever he went. He did something that most people would consider taboo; broke into their house, eat their food, sleep in their bed, used their bathroom, leave blood and mess all over the place, etc etc... in return the people freak out and call the authorities. The authorities usually ranging from regular people who took on the name of security, bodyguards, or something of that sort... to low level shinobi, genin, and former shinobi who took on the jobs of the formerly listed. They came, he left. He went somewhere, they followed. They caught up, and he beat them up~ It never failed.

Currently the man was sitting down on a bench outside of a herbal remedy shop, the inside of the shop easily viewed through a large glass window that revealed the entirety of the shop. With arms crossed over his chest and his legs stretched out before him and also crossed at the shins, Sai had his head leaned back as though asleep as he watched the bright sky. It was during this time, while the man had been sitting in that position for what possibly was over half an hour, that two men dressed in a suit, one that looked incredibly uncomfortable to wear, carrying sheathed katanas approached. "Sir, you need to come with us. Please stand up slowly, hold your arms out to the side and spread your legs." The first of the two guards said as they stood on either side of the old man, their katanas held out slightly to crisscross and bar his way in case he wanted to try and make a run foreword.

For a long moment there was no reply, simply the sound of Sai's breaths as he continued to stare into the sky not paying any mind to the two guards. Finally getting annoyed at being ignored at the man's indifference to his order, the man took a step foreword to speak a little loader but was only stopped as Sai's head rolled slightly to the side to reveal his eye to be glaring at him from the side. "I'm rather comfy on this bench and have no plans to be moving right now. Come back in... ten minutes, yea ten minutes and we'll see~" Sai said simply before letting his head roll back to where it had been before, leaving the two men in a slight shock at his audacity. Both had been manga lovers when younger and they exactly how situations like this would play out. One of them were supposed to move to make him do what they wanted to do, he would do some crazy kung-fu move and stop them, they would get angry and attack him, he would beat the hell out of them without moving from the bench and in ten minutes time comically stand up and do what they asked as though nothing had happened.

Exchanging a look with each other, both grinned and laughed nervously as the same thought ran through their heads, 'Things like that never really happened. Even if it was possible, what were the chances that this man would be capable of doing it? They were well trained and deserved a higher ability ranking in the manga, like a semi-boss that would take down chumps and give the main character a hard time... Let's show this old b*****d a thing a two!' And at the exact same time, with katanas prepared to strike, both guards spun on their heel and dropped back to sit on either side of Sai and mimicked his position.

----Some twenty minutes later----

"You know? This is actually pretty comfortable and nice."

"Yep, I don't even feel the heat of the sun anymore."

"Mhm... The dude really knew what he was doing when he did this. Can't even feel the ability to move from my seat anymore."

"Tell me about it... But tell you the truth... I would love to go now... I'm a bit tired, ya'know?"

"Yea, I suppose. Time to get back to it?"

"I'd assume so..."

"HELP!!!! SOMEBODY HELP US!!!" The duo screamed as they sat frozen to the bench that Sai had formally sitting on as the bench itself was frozen upside down to an arch of a high rise building. Sai himself, once again, no where to be seen.

Sai closed his eyes half way as he strutted his way down one of the many streets of the town. His head bobbed this way and that as he pursed his lips and whistled a tune. It was a catchy tune at that and with each step he took it seemed to fall just in time with the rhythm and beat, his hands clapping all the time along with him as he did. Where he was going and what his plans for the day were still completely empty but whatever he felt like doing, as trivial it would be it was sure to do it. He had nothing better to do and any goal he had earlier on in the day was now currently behind him as he waited for his body to finish regenerating the missing mass.

Watching the man from a distance were the two guards from before, their bodies constantly shivering as their drenched clothes clung to their frames tightly. From the moment they had been rescued from the arch - and regained consciousness - the two had taken off to find the man. A task that they found surprisingly easy. Somehow a man that looked like he was in his late twenties, early thirties with dark purple hair and was being obnoxiously loud.

The both of them had come to an understanding that it was a fluke that the man had gotten both of them. They both had foolishly let down their guard and acted childishly, leaving them prime for a surprise attack. And they had paid dearly for it. But now they would collect back their payment with interest at that. It was simple. They would attack from behind and cut him down to size before bringing him back to headquarters so he may be trailed for breaking and entering. It was all so simple and the manner that the man was holding himself right now only made things easier.

Step by step, the two drew closer to the man. Both holding their katanas in a prepared stance to cut him down with one blow. It would be painful but they would show no mercy to the man that had made them into fools. "And fools you shall stay." Sai muttered from behind the two guards as they continued to creep behind what they believed to be Sai. Bit by bit, in an agonizingly slow motion the two quivered and turned to face Sai, their faces etched in shock, awe and fear. Wide eyed they turned to look at each other, both gulping hard in unionism, before glancing threw the corner of their eye to look at what they had believed to be Sai they were following.

Stopping dead in the street, hands falling to the side and whistle ending in an abrupt tone, the man began to shake and twitch. The muscles in the arm flexing strangely as the fingers and hand folded and moved at weird angles. Within a moment the person's head had turned completely around to face the opposite direction of it's body, "Boo!~" With a cackle the body rose up and horizontal before spinning rapidly with musical arrangement of bone cracking lyrics which ended in a loud pop as the clone disappeared completely causing the two men almost jump out of their skin in disgust.

Letting out a soft sigh, Sai placed his hands on their shoulders and shook his head slowly, a grin playfully playing on his lips. "Maybe you didn't get it the first time? Let me... rephrase." His words flowed out in a slow and deliberate pace as he turned his head from on side to the next so he could look at them in the face one after the other. In a fluid like motion he hopped up, using their shoulders as a prop, and slammed his knee into the jaw of the first guard before extending his leg to send his foot to ram into the others chest, sending him rocketing back. Spinning as he came down he landed with his back to the first guard, his elbow launching out to hit him in the solar flex before arching backwards slightly so his hands could grip the man from the belt and collar to lead to him lifting him up and over his body before slamming him down on to the ground.

Glancing up to look at the man that he kicked away, Sai shook his head as he moved to get back to his feet. With a sigh he took a step foreword and instantly appeared directly in front of him. In shock the man quickly swung the katana that he still had in his hand but failed to connect as Sai gripped his wrist and rolled himself into his body, forcing his elbow into his side before flipping him over his body and towards the first guard.

Throwing out his hand to the side, Sai made a quick set of hand seals before swinging his hand towards the duo, a wave of wind instantly picking up to send them flying through the window of a nearby shop. "Such a shame. The owner is going to need to fix that window... Oh well~" With a chuckle, Sai turned away from the scene and continued his strut down the street as he had before.

A robbed man walked through the sands. He could feel it, the dispersal of chakra in the air caught by his keen senses that had been honed over years past.
Closing his eyes his conciousness fluttered through the sky far from his body, zooming through the air, in between the bustling crowds of sand before finally coming across the one responsible. A face well known from years past, not like his, not one of the shadowy figures that had avoided the war like the plague.

His arms splayed open widely as a powerful wind rushed by him, picking up sand and dust and carrying it across the dunes of the sea of earthy grains.
Placing both hands on the ground he concentrated.
Meanwhile by Sai a women, clearly someone of ninja tranining her self suddenly shuttered as if some sort of cold had run down her spine. Her back arched for a moment as shock ran through her system, her eyes taking on a slight greenish hue before she turned to face him, a voice rising from her throat that was clearly not of her own.

"Now then lad, tha's not really neccessary is it?" she said with a male voice, "afta all, we jus go' otta this ol war n' ya already picken a fight fo'blood are ya?" The women leaned back against the raised poll of one of the nearby market stands as villagers cleared out, some seeking the protection of the town guard they could only hope would arrive soon, while others rushed for shelter not wishing to anger the trouble maker outside.

Sai stopped in a comical frozen stance, the leg he was moving to step down on raised completely in the air as his body slanted to move for the next step with both arms extended to each side in almost chicken wing position. Turning his head slowly to look towards the woman, the muscles in his neck seeming to resist against the movement and attempting to push his head back at the same time, he arched an eyebrow at her and smiled kindly.

"Hm?~" Blinking slightly for a moment as he continued to stare at the woman. He had been expecting a man with that voice but that was surely not what the body was. Relaxing his body to stand normally, his smile turned into a smirk as he stepped backwards until he had his back to the wall that faced the pole from across the street. Particularly not the best position to run but he that would've been the farthest thing from his mind at the moment. "Oh my, were you watching that? Heh~ I'm sure I haven't drawn that much blood. Surely a bleeding nose isn't enough to start a war, now is it?" The man said chuckling to himself, not bothering to mention that he was the one attacked nor the immense amount of wounds he had given the Leader of this country almost two hours ago.

Sai raised an eyebrow at the entire scene. It was weird but compared to everything he had gone through in his childhood with Hatari... The recent event seemed like just another normal thing that just occurred less frequently then others. "Threatening the leader? Hm..."

Twisting his mouth slightly and turning his head off to the side, the man stared vacantly at the open sky as he brought a hand up to scratch at his throat. "I need to shave..." He muttered absently to himself as he plucked vainly at the whiskers that were growing out from his skin.
With a soft sigh he turned his sights back to the little child, giving nothing more then a bored shrug before continuing on. "Information like that would only circulate if a pesky child chooses to bring attention to it." He said with a smirk, obviously hinting at the fact that his suspicions would fall on the possessor of the child. "... Specially after what happened out there, I'm more then certain he's not looking to talk about it. He was able to walk away and I gave him helpful, albeit obvious, but helpful info. I'm sure I don't have to elaborate for you, right? So did you enjoy the show, got a comfy seat and some delicious fatty snacks? I do hope so... I like to keep my audiences entertained, by the way who are you and why do you care?"
