Chapter 8
It really wasn't that hard to find someone else. Katsu had silently picked up a handful of soil, and studied it. Then he threw it up in the air, and started walking
Amaya looked at him. "Okay," she said, "this way." And she began to follow Katsu.
I quickly caught up to her. "Wait, why are we following a boy that doesn't talk and throws dirt up into the air?"
Amaya looked at me.
"Didn't we tell you already?" she asked.
"Yeah, probably, " I answered, "But the writer is feeling lazy, so just tell me again."
Amaya sighed.
"He works with dirt. Like I said, he can find anything with a speck of dirt on it. Thus, he just looked into the dirt, and it pointed him in the direction of the closest person with an earth scroll."
Wow. He sounds like me and my winds. I better learn more about this guy.
It turns out Amaya wasn't done. I had spaced off (like I so often did) and had to catch back up again.
"So I was thinking that we did a surprise attack, y'know, let Katsu point us in the right direction, then jump on the others, and take down the one with the scroll."
"Pff," I said, "You obviously have never planned put a battle, have you?"
"She looked at me strangely. "No. Have you?"
"Of course."
Then Hikara cut in. "She's a master at planning. Our sensei will normally let her decide what to do."
"Um, okay then," said Amaya, "What do you suggest we do?"
"Oh, that's easy," I said, "We jump on the guy with the scroll first, then we get the other guys, so they'll- OUCH! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR!?"
I had started shouting at Katsu, when he smoothly turned around and covered my mouth.
"Mmmph, Nneergh! Bffffbmbrmm!"
I was trying to get away from Katsu's extremely dirty hand without having to go to the extreme of licking it, when I saw what he was pointing at.
"Oh."
There were three extremely dirty ninja, standing a few feet away from us.
