Never in your life had you seen frogs and toads so big before in your life, well the many months you've been alive. Still, seeing this in life right now was just as amazing as it was particular. These frogs and toads, from which you read books about as small little creatures that hopped around eating bugs, swimming and croaked.
These frogs and toads or maybe just toads hopped, which was accurate. But they also talked and wore clothes or some for of clothing, some even having hair. Their sizes varied from small to massive. Just like the elderly wrinkled giant toad, who sat in a large sallow pool of water with a what seem like a permanent wrinkled smile on his lips.
You never felt so small before, as you stood there with kind older female toad, Shima her name was. She lead you to this great hall, to this giant toad before you. She hadn't left your side standing right next to you. She addresses the elderly toad, as Gamamaru, The Great Toad Sage. Then turns her attention to you, informing him of your presence.
Looking up at him respectfully and slightly timid. His eyes move down to look at you, just as he opens his mouth Naruto comes in following Fukasaku, who was scolding him for his improper behavior earlier. Naruto though tries to deny anything of the such, stopping when hears the hall go quiet and all eyes on him. Blinking absently, the blonde looks around wondering what everyone was staring at.
"Eh...What's everyone staring at?"a dumb question exits his mouth. Fukasuka sighs hard at his stupidity leaving the boy, making his way over to is wife. Naruto watches him, when his eyes land on you. He smiles."Oh, hey May."Putting his hands behind his head, he casually walks over to you with a cheek smile on.
Only to earn a harsh cough from Fukasuka, whom gives the boy yet another sharp hard look. Looking from to Naruto, the look made the blonde nervous, backing a few inches away.
Taking command of the situation, Fukasuka address Gamamaru."Great Toad Sage, as you have requested from Naruto he has brought back the girl in which you seek."he turns to you, then back to the elder toad."Her name is May O'Neil a medic-nin from Sunagakure."
Gamamaru just smiles at you. You bow to him politely."Greetings, Mr. Great Toad Sage. I am May O'Neil of Sunagakure..."
The smile upon Gamamaru wides a bit."My, aren't you polite...what a beautiful name that you have..."he softly chuckles."...I can see...your are not from this world...are you?"
Your eyes widen hearing what he just said. Did he just say what you think he said...only Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro knew of your history from not being of this world. No one else knew, sure you had told them true stories of your life back in New York but they just assumed you where being a good story teller. No one took it seriously. Even Naruto who had started laughing a bit from what Gamamaru just said.
"That's a good one..."he kept laughing. Wiping his eyes."Sure, May tells stories of her being from a different world, but that's not...true..."his laughter slowly stiffens down, looking around no one was laughing with him. It was the exact opposite, all eyes fall on him again. He looks around stopping upon you. The look on your face told him, you where not lying at all. It was true, he watched your face slightly cringe sadly. While inside he felt the guilt of laughing at you drop like a stone in his stomach.
It wasn't a lie then, it was true. All those stories about the place you called New York City from which you came from was not a lie at all. A part of him wanted to laugh some more and not believe it, but the more he looked at you that feeling started to fade away. Slowly he looks back to the Sage Toad, shifting his look between him and you. Listening to what the Toad and you said that made him open up his eyes more and realize the truth.
Slowly you nod your head, yes."Yes, that is accurate. I am not of this world...this..."you look around the place, coming back to the elderly Toad."Exciting world, I hail from another place, called New York City. It is in country called America, where I lived, I mean use to live with my family and friends. Until, I was some how brought to this place, that of which I still unsure of how it was I managed to come here. The spell in which I used, was not meant to have such a purpose."
"A spell you say?."Gamamaru slowly strokes his chin.
You nod your head."Yes, back home I have been training to become a Miko and study up on the ancient ways of Onmyodo. Magic. Which I put new spells into my Grimoire, which I currently do not have in possession right now. With it, I can access and use my aura to do many things besides what I can do already. Almost like this world, but not fully."
"You are not human are you?"Gamamaru asks yet another surprising question.
Which all you could do was nod your head yes, surprising Naruto."Not human...May what are you talking about?"he was confused now, you looked human there was no way that you couldn't be besides the fact of you flying without using jutsu of any sort, come to think of it he's never seen you use any form of jutsu. Not even the most basic medical jutsu, Mystical Palm. And let's not forget the way he's seen you form these energy balls that allows you to send blast or use the energy to form shields and barriers, but nothing along the lines of jutsu. Sure he's seen some crazy forms of jutsu, though nothing like what you could he just assumed it was a secret from a clan or ancient clan you came from either inherited or learned never really pressuring it. Even the fact you managed to move things without touching them a feat that still amazed him or how could sense things knowing someones state of emotions which seem to affect you, like some sort of rod or when he saw you surrounded by your energy which healed you or when you used upon others.
Keeping them in sort of energy cocoon, until they where well. The high durability that you had for some your size not to mention the strength he was told you had, it was amazing since there was no way that you where a jinchuuriki at least he was sure. Thinking back to the water shield that was put around him and the others from the mission in the Land of Waves, never had seen such a feat done with water, yet it wasn't a jutsu at all. He remember seeing faint traces of your energy in it, along with some fainted sign or symbol. Then there was your reflexes and taijutsu that amazed him, it was higher than Sakura's and he heard you where able to go toe to toe with Might Guy. Amazing the man himself.
All this soon started to make sense, he looks to you and he saw with no defensive look on your face against what Gamamaru said. He saw the hurtful truth reflecting in your eyes.
Nodding your head slowly again. Looking up at him tearfully filled with detest and guilt."I am not...human..."Shima looks to her husband sorrowfully, he does the same back. Never did you like talking about your origins very much preferring to leave it alone and hidden away, even when you told Gaara and his family about your lineage. Sensing the disbelief from them, with every single word that came from your mouth and what was more astounding that they knew none of it was a lie,just like Naruto realized now.
Still, he was in disbelief of this."You're joking right?"he tries to laugh just a bit, but it did him no good. Looking to him for the first time since he's known you never had seen you look so distraught before. His heart went out to you, he was just about to say something when Gamamaru does. So he closes his mouth.
"Do not feel ashamed child."Gamamaru kindly tells you, your heavy eyes look up at him. He still had on his smile."You're linage does not define you, now then...there is a reason...why you where brought...here."moving his arm slowly pointing at you. Shima nudges you to walk forward, which you do. Stopping right infront of his webbed finger, just inches from your forehead."You cannot perform jutsu, your magic in which you do...makes up for it. Like this world, here we mold chakra. To perform our skills, while you use your energy which is mirrored like chakra to do your gifts. And because of this, you are intuned, with all that happens...around you. I am sure you have noticed, the feeling of someone or something watching you. Or when something becomes a missed."
Fukasaku speaks up."Like Senjutsu?"
Gamamaru just simply smiles."Yes...and no. Come, closer child."hesitant to move, but you do so feeling his finger gently pressing in the middle of your forehead."My, you have a very vibrant and warm soul and heart. Quite magnificent, what you do is almost along the same as Senjutsu which is way for one to harness Natural Energy all around them. Something you seem to do, but it is not just here there is another part of you..that separates you from this. I am not sure what it is, but I do know this it connects you..."he looks over to Naruto.
Who points to himself stun, you look to the confused boy."...What?"he cocks an eyebrow.
Gamamaru looks back at you, he smiles more. Looking up at him, you felt at ease and smile back at him. Giggling a bit, while the others watch in amazement even Naruto. The spot that Gamamaru poked your forehead started to glow faintly at first but soon illuminated into a small star burst that became brighter and brighter lighting up the slight dark large hall. That others had to cover their eye to shield them."W-what the heck..."Naruto grunts, trying to see what was happening but he couldn't.
The light flashed quickly and the light went away, everyone looks at you and the Sage Toad who took back his finger. Naruto notices your smile and persona had return back to normal. Just as quickly as that flash. He just looks on still amazed. Sensing his eyes on you, you turn to him smiling fine.
"Well..."Fukasaku smirks understanding. He turns to Naruto who was still looking at you trying to understand.
"You are a gift, May."Gamamaru tells you."...I am glad we made the contract."
"Contract?"Naruto was sure he didn't see anything of the sort with you offering blood and signing it with your name. What contract was it that as made?
"Naruto..."Gamamaru calls to him, the ninja gives him his full attention."Come and stand by May."Doing as he said, Naruto goes by you."Take her hand."
Hearing that Naruto becomes flustered, trying to object to it stopping when felt you take hold of his hand. He looks down at you, you kept your eyes on the elder Toad awaiting what he was going to say. Naruto looks back too.
"Do you feel it, Naruto?"Gamamaru asks.
Naruto was not sure what he was talking about with you. Feel what? He looks at your hand and his own he didn't feel anything except his palm becoming sweaty and nervous. He's never held a girl's hand this long before, while your hold on him remained calm and secure. He felt your grip become tighter when something shot through, making him jolt a bit. That he release his hold, moving back.
"Whoa!"he looks at his hand, everything was perfectly that he could see and tell. He looks to you, doing the same thing, you felt it too. Both eyes lock with the other one. A light chuckle from Gamamaru gets the two of you to look at eachother."What was that?"
"...I cannot tell you, but know this."the Sage lifts a webbed finger pointing at you and Naruto.
Temari looks down at your sack, she was informed from the others what happen when she came back, you where nowhere to be found. The last they knew was that you had left the room and next thing they couldn't find you. They assumed you went to the spa, only to find out that you didn't. They knew there was no way you would walk around the village in a towel, which then again that was a possibility that you would seeing how badly you wanted to see it and the fact common decency was something you didn't seem to pay much attention to, a part of your nativity. Seeing how you wouldn't mind sharing the bath with the boys.
The girls ended up asking the village if they had seen you, which none of them had, the girls started to become worried doing their best not to panic. Thinking hard on where you could be, even spreading out re-tracking their on their way here not to far just at the boarder of the village. There was no sign of their sweet bright pink haired friend.
Doing their best not to assume that someone in the village had done something to her, kidnapping her right under their noses. Which wouldn't make any sense the village was a good terms. But the thought still stayed, even wit the help of Onyx he was not able to find his master at all. His keen eyes found no trace or clue of her whereabouts.
Everyone sat in the Inn trying hard to figure out other possibilities where May could be. Their faces worried heavily, though not as much as Temari who did her best to conceal it, she kept her eyes upon May's sack. No one knew what was going through her mind right now, but they knew regret was slowly creeping on her face without her realizing it.
Hinata gets ready to say something comforting to her, stopping when a knock on the door came. All eyes shoot up looking at it, Temari waste no time picking herself up lunging for it, opening it up before Sakura could do so. Swinging it open, almost scaring the person that stood there.
A timid looking man, the keeper of the Inn. Cowering under Temari's stormy gaze. Realizing it was not May, her eyes relax."Sorry."she apologizes.
The man still cowering in front of her, holds out something in his trembling hand. It was a note. She takes it from him, making him yelp. She gives him an annoyed look, but thanks him. Shutting the door just as he quickly in one incoherent sentence that he some blonde haired boy was last seen in the Inn by their door. But she didn't hear anything, only just barely catching the tail end.
All eyes fall upon her."What's the note for?"Tenten asks, watching Temari unfold the small piece of paper, that came out into a half a sheet. Her eyes read everything on it, which slowly widen in fear.
Now wanting to know seeing the look on her face."What's wrong?!"Ino became greatly concerned now.
Temari's grip upon the paper tightens."...It..t-th..."she stammers trying to get it out. The girls look at eachother confused and worried. Swallowing hard, Temari finally finds the words she needed to say looking at them like she's seen a ghost. A thick hush falls over the room."The Land of Wind...it's been attacked..."
