Welcome to Gaia! ::

Peering behind him Kage found the gravestones to be very familiar to him as he had passed them on several occasions and even learned the names of the two that had buried here.

"You two miss me?" he muttered to no one in particular, almost expecting a response from the spirits of the deceased. Turning back to Kira his expression had become more serious and he kept his question rather simple, "Where to now, Kira?"

((I was at a loss, so I skipped my turn.))

"Personally, I'm all for snooping...but I'm betting I stand out quite a bit. Unless you two are the only people who can see me."

He brought his hand up and pushed through his ghostly head. You could see his finger scratching his "brain". "I'm not really sure how being a ghost works, exactly..."

Kira put on the sunglasses and let out a sigh of relief, "Darn hateful sun..." She muttered, then nodded in agreement, "Sounds like spying would be best for your Shade. But I think you're getting your water countries mixed up Kage."

Out of nowhere she pulls out a blackboard with all the ninja countries on it, while she's holding onto a laser pointer and wearing a pair of professor-like glasses. "This is the Country of Waves, here." She points to a country very close to Onigashima. "There's no established military here and 5 years ago they finally made a bridge that connects it to the mainland. The Uzumaki bridge or something like that."

She then moves the laser pointer over towards the mainland, "Here, is the Counter of Water, which is home to the Hidden Mist village one of the Top 5 shinobi countries. They have a strict policy against Bloodline limits and even established purges of said clans that had them some years ago."

"Oh yeah...my apologies. I still get mixed up between the two." It was the truth, considering how often the Princess had him on missions between the Hidden Mist and Hidden Waves. By then another random thought arose.

Where the hell did the chalkboard come from? I know she'll probably kill me for thinking this, but she looks cute wearing those glasses.

Kage then glanced away awkwardly after listening to Kira's lesson, knowing full well that his thought was probably correct.

I suppose I should look around for someone who seems out of place. He passed through various crowds of people, weaving about through people until he entered a small shop. From the looks of it, it seemed to be a restaurant serving freshly cooked morning foods.

The guy sipping tea seems kinda out of place in a village of fishermen... Shade casually walked over to the man, hoping that getting closer would somehow reveal his identity. Alas that didn't work as he had hoped, when he realized that as a ghost he couldn't exactly ask the man his name.

"Sleeping in huh? Where? He the contact?"

Shade had obviously considered the idea that the man could see him the second he spoke. He felt the need to just ask the man straight out where the contact was. With an eyebrow raised he pointed a finger upwards, as though asking if the contact was upstairs. He didn't actually know if this restaurant was a inn as well.

"You know it never ceases to amaze me how someone could have a weapon like this and still die." A brow perked from Kira's slightly cruel remark, having some form of pity for the deceased ninja that she was insulting.

"If I remember correctly, that sword belongs to a ninja that made an attempt on the Mizukages life. Though I somehow doubt he died without taking someone down with him....now what was his name..." he paused, rubbing his temple with an index finger, "his alias was something demon related..."

Whilst he was pondering about the ninjas history, Kira seemed contempt with contemplating the two graves, "We should dig them up.... We could tell from the decomposition how long they've been here" She morbidly states to Kage.

"Wait.....what? Umm....Kira? How would knowing when they died benefit us during our mission?" his gaze at her seemed disturbed at best, most likely digging up a ninjas grave seemed taboo to him.
