Welcome to Gaia! ::

This area is on a long road in the Sunagakure and has many stands filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. There are quite a few places that sell Ninja Tools as well.

After passing the gates, Haseo travels forward, now at a walking pace rather than a sluggish pace as the weights dragged him down. Looking around as he walks, he notices an abundance of shops in the marketplace. Taking note of this, he sees a store that sells several ninja tools. "I bet I could get some really cool stuff there!" he said to himself as he walks inside. Gazing upon the many kunais, shurikens and pouches, he sees something that catches his attention...flash bombs. He grabs four of them, including a pouch to carry them in and walks up to the counter. The cashier tells him the amount and he sighs, as he heard the number. "Well there goes my allowance," he said to himself as he hands over all of his money. He braces the pouch on his right thigh, above where the weights are and walks out the store. "Time to continue on..." he said as he walked forward. It's hard to believe that just yesterday his parents were mere peasants, to find out that they were in fact shinobis was unreal. The sun burned on his back as he brushed the sweat off his brow. "This really is torture..."

comign out of stealth, Sai tapped Ragna on the shoulder casually as he began walking towards a darkened and secluded area with a cold and directed mind. "C'mon, let's go." Leading the way through several alleys, Sai finally came to a spot as he looked around at a wall, seemingly staring at nothing until he finally drew his hand across the surface and depressed a small hole which was positioned secretly above a crack in the wall. Almost magically, an entrance opened up as he walked through, bidding Ragna to quickly do the same...

"Ahhh...yess...yesss....customers who know the secrets... wonderful, yes, wonderful indeed sweetums." A strange gnarled man sat behind a counter within a shop which could only be accurately described as a cross between a pawn shop and an apothecary as he watched Sai and Ragna walk in. "AYess...yesss....so how can Kelvar help the sand ninja? Hmmm????"

Sai walked up to the counter, and put his right hand down upon it to reveal the ring he wore to the man... "You created a set of encrypted rings for my friend once. We need another set of them... 9 rings in total. Do you have any?"

"Ahhh...yess...yesss....nice lady, couldn't though could she sweetums, no. But then again, she could see, yess yess...must go look in the back sweetums, we will be right back... yesss." the strange gnarled man got up, still holding his cat, but leaning heavily on a crutch as he moved to a door in the back of his shop and disappeared, hopefully looking for what Sai was seeking.

"'Nice' isn't quite the word I would use to describe Kevlar, more like unique. there is a reason why he keeps this shop secret after all. only his clientele know what he has to offer, and even within that, they only understand what they have asked him to create. I have no idea how Selene even heard of the man, but he seemed to have liked her a lot and so he custom designed each ring with it's own unique signature, but still all open the entrance to the base."

"Yessss...yesss...energy man is right, jsut like last time he was...didn't speak much but glowed lots, right sweetums? yesss..." Kevlar had walked back from the back room, holding a box which was nearly the replica of the original ring box and opened it up to reveal a new series of rings, all looking the same as the originals. "Gone to be away with the spirits I hear yesss... she was nice, didn't look at Kevlar like others... didn't see anything at all yesss, except seeing everything. Yesss that is how she found us it was, promised not to tell, kept her promise didn't she sweetums. Made new rings for her, special NICE present for no see lady, but gone, yesss she is. Energy man can have now, was friend... Kevlar can tell right sweetums yess of course. first ring, Energy man's ring can set new programs for locks... tells the mountainside how to move it does, and all other rings now special, work only with the original carrier of the ring, except when energy man resets them of course sweetums yess. Can even find rings, yesss it can sweetums, like the map made for miss no see...Kevlar made too, for filing without sight, can project ring people now it can with this. Energy man pays now sweetums, promise has been kept... Kevlar always keeps promises to nice no see lady."

Sai took out a few bags of money stolen from the ANBU members he killed, putting a rather large sum on Kevlar's desk as he merely smiled and pressed a button behind the counter which re-opened the entrance to his shop. he waved with one hand before taking the bags of money in hand, exiting to the back of the store again. Sai removed his current ring, placing it in his pocket as he took his ring, the first ring which was imbued with new abilities now and placed it on his finger. He felt a warm sensation enter his thumb, which was strange considering he hardly felt anything due to his bloodline's dulling of his sense of touch, but he shook it off and closed the box, tucking it under his arm as he left the shop with Ragna, watching the walls close behind, realizing only now how similar it was to the way the Akatsuki entrance worked.

"Well then Ragna, let's be on our way. Back to the gates with us now." without waiting for a confirmation, Sai slipped into stealth again as he simply vanished from sight, fading slowly, before becoming transparent, then completely invisible to Ragna's eye as he waited for him to move out.

Tsukiakari Hikaru
Sunagakure| Ato Sakura No Ki No | Genin

Walking through the streets, Hikaru noticed that they began to get more and more crowded the closer he got to the marketplace, until when he suddenly turned a corner, the population seemingly erupted. Even though it seemed early in the morning to him, it was about noontime as he noticed the marketplace to be bustling with activity. Struggling to maintain his posture amongst the busy streets, Hikaru felt incredibly out of place and even slightly nervous as he held his sword close to his side and synched his robe closed. Having been royalty his entire life, he had never before experienced a crowd like this and was incredibly nervous and a bit overwhelmed by it all.

Also, having never shopped for his own things, Hikaru barely had any idea what kind of store he was even looking for, but eventually came across a store with a swinging sign with a picture of a kunai on it. having recognized the item from the books, he knew that it was a common ninja tool, kind of like a multipurpose dagger of sorts, but one fashioned fro combat and for use as a projectile as well. reclaling the entry in one of his books, Hikaru walked into the sotre as he recited it to himself... "A true ninja weapon is one that has a multitude of purposes, and one that could seem innocuous if used properly. Kunai themselves were originally spades used by farmers, but when they began to be used as improvised tools, the edges were slimmed and sharpened, but were still used for a variety of purposes besides there obvious melee and ranged combat capabilities. It is a staple tool of any ninja."

After stepping inside, he noticed that he had chosen well as the room was filled with everything he would need. He found several pouches which would hold the weapons, reinforced with strong materials so as not to be punctured by it's contents. He bought shuriken, smoke bombs, flash bombs, kunai... and then picked upa box of a strange kind of paper. "Ummm, sir." the man behind the counter said nervously... "I'm afraid those are rather expensive... normally only the kage or another high ranking shinobi would purchase them. I just figured I'd warn you... I wouldn't want you to be disappointed."

Hikaru let out a slight chuckle and a somewhat smug grin as he looked at the price of the small square papers and ignored the man's warning. Walking up to the counter he placed all the items down and removed a small pouch from inside his robe, placing several coins on the counter as he began to assemble everything together, attaching the pouches to his person in several strategic locations as the man took the coins and looked at them almost in amazement. he would not have expected a common citizen to have had this much coin on him, but happily accepted the payment as he smiled and thanked Hikaru. Hikaru smiled back before exiting the shop on his way back to the Kazekage's office.
