Thank the Heavens

[Inoryu]

    Graciously, Inoryu received the sonic emitters and northern wind grenades and was enjoying a bite of omelet, gravy and fried rice when he was embraced by a forest nymph. He remained calm due to the goodness of its nature that he felt was exuding from her though he could not understand her words. He watched the wonder of her being transform into leaves of Autumn hues and drift away. He noticed that she left an item in his pocket and observed the stone. He wasn't an appraiser so he couldn't tell what it was worth, but in the same spirit he would hand it to Satu when he next had the chance. In the meantime, he would take a bite of a teriyaki carrot, chicken, broccoli and another bite of fried rice. As far as the game went, it appeared Inoryu would have some entertainment as he ate, if Itada chose to participate. If the game were more competitive, Inoryu would be more eager to play.

A raised eyebrow plastered itself upon Itada's face as Satu explained the game; and, almost as if on cue, Burakku sprang up from his prone position and starting running toward the medic, effectively crushing all the surrounding grass under his massive paws. He headed straight toward Satu and the green halo, eyes focused and narrowed. If he was allowed to continue to pick up speed before the red halo signaled him to stop, he would be upon Satu soon. One hundred yards was nothing to a monster of the jungle.

    Satu would see the smilodon pummeling its way toward him at magnificent speed. Closing fast, Satu spun quickly and made for the red halo to rise above him but as he spun a magazine dropped from the sky onto his face and revealed scantily clad shinobi in premiscuous positions. Satu was a monk and had never been exposed to such imagery. He stepped back away from the magazine. He hadn't noticed Barakku was near to him as he stared blankly in horror at the lude display on the floor. He looked up and saw the smilodon raising the red halo he wondered if Barakku would stop. Satu would turn his attention to Inoryu who was still taking his time with his bento. Then would look at Itada who gazed at him from afar. Barakku crashed into Satu and the Kusa med couldn't help but laugh at how comical the whole scenario had played out. "Well I guess you win Barakku," He would say as he patted the smilodon amidst dust and dirt thrown in the air from his abrupt halt into Satu.

[Inoryu]

    Inoryu noticed a blue and white stone and picked it up to pass it off to Satu at the same time as the treant's gall. As he opened his mouth for a bite of cucumber tempura, he stopped in awe to witness the flailing XXX magazine blind Satu and watched as the disaster unfolded. He set his bento down gently on the tall grass and ran over to Satu's side after the collision though Satu was laughing, "Are you okay, Satu? " he asked as he attempted to help Satu up with an open hand. It would seem as though Satu's spirits were unaffected by the collision. His hearty reaction caused no alarms to be raised so Inoryu would attempt to hand over the treant's gall and greater gem of energy to his unlucky subordinate, chuckling nervously.

[Utahhikari-Satu]

    Satu would look up at his Kusa nin mentor. He would reach out and smile as Inoryu helped him up. "I was hoping you would not have to see that but admittedly I am glad everyone got a good laugh from it," Satu would wave to Itada to let him know he was alright. "Thanks for always being so quick Inoryu..." Satu would look Inoryu in the eyes and pat himself down, when suddenly a frantic woman startled him from out of nowhere she shoved three flat canisters in his hand while she bantered about an undead plague. Satu would try to calm her but she was inconsolable and ran off screaming in a random direction. Satu would look blankly into the distance and place the canisters in Inoryu's hand saying, "Take these, I don't need any more surprises," Satu would begin walking with the blue/white gem Inoryu gave him and head toward Itada.

Itada would blush in embarrassment as the almost two ton monster wheel-barrowed into him. Luckily, Satu had some knowledge of the medical practice, as he would need it in case Burakku had injured him. In a way, he felt as if it was his fault for not stopping the Sabre tooth in the beginning of its' dead sprint; instead, allowing him to build up speed, velocity, and the faster he went, the less control he had over stopping. Itada knew all this, and yet still had not interfered. It wasn't all that often Burakku was up to play so Itada dismissed the notion with a laugh and let his companion do a it pleased.

He was standing on all fours, panting, gasping for air, excited for another go around.

[Inoryu]

    Since there was no cause of alarm, Inoryu would hand Satu the energy gem and treant's gall and make his way back to his bento. As he returned to his prior location, he noticed a ninja tool  on the ground. He observed it and went to pick it up to find that it was an oversized kunai. "This could come in handy," he thought. "Hey look what I found," he said to his companions as he displayed it in front of him. He pocketed it into his butt bag and continued with a bite of teriyaki chicken and fried rice. 

[Utahhikari-Satu]

    "Barakku has quite the speed Itada. I imagine it must be exhilarating to ride atop him rushing through rains of Ame." Satu would sit next to Inoryu and gaze up at the sun. "Considerably warm today," Satu would say to the othe nin when suddenly he felt a chill down his back. He looked behind him only to see a figure running off already in the far distance. He would reach into his pocket and find a cryo-enhancement, "This thing is freezing!" Satu would set it inside his pocket and begin to shiver so he would take it out and leave it in a spot he would remember to take it with him when he left for home again with Inoryu.

[Hamura]

Inoryu:
027. A man approaches you, he is shaking and throws three flat canisters at your feet. “Stay vigilant! They may look like your friends, your family, your leaders, but they are not! They are them! Trust no one.” Scratching himself the conspiracist moves on. What a strange figure. — Relict Oil

Satu:

[Inoryu]

    Inoryu looked strangely at the man tossing canisters at his feet as he took his last bite from his bento box. He smiled serenely with the completion of the meal as it was definitely high quality cooking. Every flavor was bold, delicious and complimented each other on the palate. He would then place the three canisters of relict oil into the large bag that carried the bento boxes. 

    Burakku crashing into Satu replayed in his mind and was grateful that Satu wasn't fatally wounded. He thought, "What a wonderful thing to harness the power of nature, in the form of an animal companion." The smilodon looked ferocious and appeared to be a formidable companion. He wondered how taming a wild beast was done. He figured that an inquiry towards Itada would be innocent enough, as it had nothing to do with Amegakure's affairs, "Itada, how exactly did you tame Burakku?" Depending on Itada's response, Inoryu might be inspired to go out and try to tame an animal himself. Perhaps Satu might also benefit.  

[Utahhikari-Satu]

    Satu would begin humming and wandering off in a random direction. He would summon an additional seven halo. They would be the colors of twilight, softly burned pinks, deep purples and blues. They would glide around him as he hummed softly to himself. He would further the display by gliding them aloft in swirling magnificence around himself. He would break out in song, "^{Often, I am upset, that I cannot fall in love, but I guess, that avoids the stress of falling out of it.}" Sitting on the grass the halo would settle behind his cranial posterior. He would gaze off into the distant horizon as the Sun beat down him. He would smile up at the heavens and feel great appreciation for all this day with Inoryu and Itada.

[Hamura]

Inoryu:
001. You are suddenly transported! You’re under the sea! Oh no! Another portal, it draws you in! You fall out of a ceiling into a bed next to an old woman, she slaps you across the face until you drop out of the bed into the next portal. It seems you are in another realm, there is nothing except a man in the distance who shouts a compliment at you, when you take a step to him you suddenly step into another portal that brings you back to where you started! How odd! Whomever set up this elaborate prank however left behind an instruction manual on how to create portals, that could be convenient. — Ritual Book 200 pages - Create Teleportation Circle

Satu:
008. Is that a senbon in your pocket, or are you happy to see me? Actually it's 57 senbon, how'd they get in your pocket? — x57 Senbon (Overview)

[Inoryu]

    Before Itada had the time to respond, Inoryu would suddenly vanish from his place in the blink of an eye and found himself submerged in the sea. Afraid and confused, he began weaving the hand seals for the deep breath jutsu to fill his lungs with oxygen despite being submerged, when another portal appeared and rapidly drew him in. He, and gallons of water, fell out of a ceiling and onto a bed beside a sleeping woman who awoke and slapped Inoryu silly. He was tame but profoundly disturbed, "Sorry ma'am!" he said with zeal, "I don't know what's happeni-" before he could finish he found himself in a new place where there was nothing but a man in the distance, perhaps another plane. The man offered a compliment and as Inoryu stepped forward to speak with him, he vanished again to his original point. 

    He was soaked and in shock when he found the ritual book at his feet. He picked it up and realized it had to do with what had just happened. Very cold now and shivering, he placed the book in his bag, "You guys won't believe what just happened!" he started to share the experience. Feeling as though he were about to freeze, he would set about creating a campfire. He deeply regretted not packing a flint, but he would have to make due. Unless either of his comrades had a better idea, Inoryu would hurry back to the forest and weave a series of hand seals, dog, hare, ox, horse, dragon, ram, serpent, ram. He fired off a whistling whorl, a deadly wing-shaped blade with a characteristic whistling sound after it's launched. It struck the trunk of a tree, slicing through it completely and came around a second time to form a log of the trunk. He repeated the jutsu to form a second log. He would return with his logs, and place them in a relatively clear area. 

    Inoryu then weaved through a second series of hand seals, bird, dragon, horse, ox, hare, serpent, bird, ram, and produced a storm mote, a swirling cylindrical wind ten meters wide and twelve meters tall. The storm mote was incredibly nimble and was directed at will by Inoryu to quickly roam around and clear out the grass. In very little time, the storm mote slashed away all the grass for fifteen meters around the logs. He then placed an explosive tag imbued with fire underneath the log and detonated it. The explosive force moved the logs slightly but for the most part was contained, and a fire was ignited underneath them. The natural winds were enough to fan the flame and soon enough it roared to life. 

    Lastly, Inoryu would activate a final jutsu with the hand seals bird, dragon, monkey, and ram and the light winds would die so there no winds at all. He would seat himself next to the flame and warm himself up, feeling some relief from his prior, terrifying experience. He would remove his clothes down to his boxers and begin to dry as he sat up close to the flame. He would turn himself to warm the other side of his body. The cold was considerably less effective without winds and the warmth of the bonfire and he began to feel comfortable again. "You guys, today is really strange," he said as he began ringing his clothes in his hands.  

[Utahhikari-Satu]

    Satu would look behind him as Inoryu stated the day was strange. "It is definitely strange," Satu would reply, "But stranger days are always the most interesting to me, besides it isn't everyday we get to do absolutely nothing." Satu would juggle halo to pass the time. The colors would weave in and out of his hand. Seeming skilled but admittedly it did not require any skill because the halo could stay aloft without any effort on Satu's part.

    He would get a gleam in his eye and begin attaching gavinha to the nine halos and so, as they were tossed about in the air they reached for Satu longingly. He would move two of them around his waist and two around each arm spinning them in a way so they appeared to be wings of light. Satu would bend his knees and jump sixty feet up into the air. To an onlooker he would seem a brilliant ephemeral winged thing. At his peek ascent his glow would explode into an incandescent flare.

    Satu began to descend with a grin fixed on his face from the force of falling back to the ground. He would forward somersault landing firmly on both feet and begin cart wheeling and laughing. His eyes caught notice of something falling from him and he stood and noticed whatever it was fell from his pocket, "How strange," as the halo again postured themselves at his back he looked at the grass and wondered what they were. He picked one up, "Senbon?" He would find another, then another, he was like a bird as he pecked the senbon off the ground." He would count fifty-seven all together.

    Satu would notice Inoryu also was busy and had started a fire in quite a flamboyant fashion. Satu would run up to him and ask with a joyful tone, "You could have asked?" Satu held out a flint. "Inoryu! How did you become so wet?" Satu would sit by the fire and become mesmerized by the flickering of the flames. Then he would feel comfort by those flames. He would remember sitting by the fires in meditation back in the temple of Dessabo with his mentor the monk. This nostalgia was heartwarming but Satu did not feel grief, instead he felt admiration for Inoryu's resourcefulness who as always could find an approach to a problem many others would normally not see. "That's one hefty campfire you made Inoryu, color me impressed." 

[M$]

The food was too good; the intricate taste of the rice mixed with the teriyaki chicken had put Itada in a daze. If he didn't know anyone better, he'd a thought Inoryu had poisoned the meal. When he bad come to, the question from Satu about Burakku flooded his hearing, while his vision was blocked by a seemingly wet and soaked Inoryu. Confused even further, he definitely must have been under a genjutsu, but his chakra felt normal so he simply brushed it off. He began telling the medic how he had come to have Burakku, patrolling the jungle of rain country while out on a mission for the village. He go on to further explain how the beast had not come easily and how if not for placing the cat under a genjutsu, Burakku would have enjoyed him just as much as they enjoyed this meal.

Staring at you blankly for a moment, he walks up to you and tells you that you haven't seen a thing before handing you "Ten Sonic Emitters".

[Inoryu]

    Inoryu was becoming more warm and comfortable as he was fascinated by Satu's performance. Satu was quite skilled with his halos, jumping, and had a fun side to him that he had yet to know. His display of his halos was breathtaking as he appeared to transform into something wonderful and capable of flight. He chuckled at the performance as it went from magical to bizarre as Satu reached down and pocketed one senbon after another like a bird. 

    The blonde Kusa-nin listened to Itada's tale by the fire. The mysterious Ame ninja was vague with his explanation other than stating he was on a patrol and needed to place Burakku in a genjutsu. Inoryu was intrigued, but he didn't want to probe. He settled into a more relaxed posture near the fire, eager for his clothes to dry. If only he knew the fire release, there might be a way to become instantly dry along with all of his soaked clothing. He wondered if either Itada or Satu had an affinity for fire and if they were aware of it or not.

    A lady approached him, wearing promiscuous leathers while in the midst of his thoughts and thought that he was imagining things. She said something that went over his head because the experience was so surreal and she handed him a shock enhancement. It would appear that bizarre occurrences would continue in Kusa no Kuni. He wondered if it had something to do with the day's alignment of the stars. [Chakra Lore: 88]

[Utahhikari-Satu]

    Satu took a bow towards Inoryu and Itada as they warmed themselves by the fire. "It is getting quite chilly in these autumn months, I wonder if I should acquire a light jacket." It was in Satu's best interest to stave from any more acrobatics as he was now quite comfortable from the flame Inoryu produced. He was suddenly blinded and he would shout,"Inoryu the fire is out of control!" Upon observation the light was not actually coming from the fire Satu would grimace in embarrassment.

    It was from a book and Satu would pick it up and read, "Grimoire Illusionatus," He would surmise that Inoryu would make better use of it and would smile endearingly as he presented it to him. "Here Inoryu I think you could train the contents of this Grimoire Illusionatus to its full capabilities and maybe one I can too," Satu would stare again into the flames. This autumn day proved bizarre and Satu would take it in as such truly appreciating the rest he experienced from the flickering glow.
