Outside the steakhouse Suri caressed a full belly, while Hien mourned his empty wallet.

Putting the wallet his pocket he goes on to say " I can't believe you ate that much. I mean, haven't you heard restraint?"

Suri shakes her head, turning to look at Hien she replies "That's not something I was taught. Besides, Sensei you were paying I figured I should eat as much as I wanted."

Hien shook his head in disbelief, he noticed my silence and asked "Is anything wrong Genki?"

My back was turned to them as I took in the layout sector two. I looked over my shoulder saying ". . . No just looking around."

Suri stretched as she said "You've been doing that since we left the forest, in any case I've been meaning to ask you about that sword."

I turned to face her and said reluctantly "what did you want to ask?"

Suri pointed to the sword it's has a very distinct look to it I'm sure I've seen it before I just can't remember where. Have you always had it?"

The blade was unique in design as it had three edges and no point, and was an arm and a half lengths long, with a broad frame similar to foreign broad swords and had no guard. It had odd symbols on it that read "The World", one crisp piece of metal made by fusing to styles of blacksmithing and imbuing the metal with chakra.

"Yeah, I've always been the owner, why are you asking about it" I said annoyed.

Suri fell quiet as she bit her lip, thinking of where she'd seen the sword. Breaking the silence Hien clears his throat, he walks ahead of us and says

"lets not focus on things such as that, I still need to show you two where you'll be staying and explain the details of our first mission as well as bring you before the Heikokage. "

Suri's eyes widened at the thought of being in front of the Heikokage.

We began to walk behind Hien as Suri says" I've heard so many great things about her, one that she's like really young and two that she's extremely beautiful."

Hien continued walking as he said "I didn't think those of Chiga would concern themselves with the goinga on of other islands, but you seem to be pretty well informed."

Suri was embarrassed by his words as she replied " No, it's not like I'm not the only one we all know about the other islands and some of the things that happen on them."

Hien slowed his paced to where he was walking beside us saying " What I'm trying to say is I know how the people of your clan have been persecuted based on how they practice their way of the ninja. I would think they would shut themselves off from anyone else."

The Chisuda clan would never have survived if they'd adopted that attitude. On the contrary they made themselves more open to conflict, as a means of spreading word of their prowess. I should know I've killed quite a few in reaction to there boasting over those they've defeated from my village.

I shook my head as I looked away from the conversation "You would think a Jonin would have knowledge of this kind of stuff already. It seems as though all Hien is, is his ability."

Hien halts and turns as he faces a three story building it read "My house is your house" I could only assume this to be where we were going stay.

Suri read the sign saying "I wonder who owns this place that banner really makes it sound 3welcoming."

As, we walked in and Hien said " It should be it's owned by a nice elderly couple they've been running this place for years, since I was a kid, although, I've never personally stayed here. I hear it's a good place."

An old women came out of a door that was behind the counter, we already had rooms reserved for us.

"This is a pretty big room." I said as I walked across from the door to the window.

"So are we sharing rooms Sensei or do we get our own room?" Suri asked as she rummaged through the closet pulling out a futon.

Surveying the room Hien says "Sorry no first class service we've only got two rooms between the four of us, so, yeah were sharing. Two to a room and since both of you are already in this room."

I felt myself getting hot, my heart began to race, as I remembered the sight of her exposed chest. I felt a nose bleed coming on,

" Is that alright with you" Hien asked me.

I wiped my nose, continuing to face the window saying, "Yea, I think I can . . uh manage, the arrangement no . . . uh . . big deal."

Hien began to move closer to me as he said "Are you ok, not having any dirty thoughts about tonight."

I quickly turn and point blushing nervously, only to see Hien walking out of the room.

"It'll be ok Genki-san I'll just sleep over here and you can be on the other side." Suri said with a smile as she pointed to two mats that were right next to each other.

I fetched a futon from the closet and moved it on the other side of the table that sat in middle of the room thinking to myself "safe."

I took a deep breath and sighed in relief. I turned around after laying down my bed for the night only to see Suri undressing.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Down the hall Hien smirked as he heard me yelp in surprise. Corrine arrived on the roof of the hotel in a puff of smoke, she entered into the closest room through the window.

Hien looks at her and says "I wasn't sure if you'd be able to figure out what room you were in."

Corrine sits and crosses her legs saying "You forget I'm the one that made the reservations."

Hien was laying on his futon as he rolled to his side to rub his back and said "Oh, that is right, well good job my pupil. How is Hozukimaru?"

Corrine looks away from her old teacher and says, "I think he would have been better off if I hadn't dragged him along."

Hien looked upon Corrine lovingly "Well, you gotta remember every man is responsible for his own destiny, Hozukimaru chose to help you he could've said no. Besides, I'm sure even now in his current condition he's not upset with how things turned out. Hozukimaru is a good person."

Corrine shook her head in agreement a cheerful smile on her face. "Well we'd better get some rest we've got a lot to do tomorrow, asses to kick, Kage's to see and so, and so on."

Hien faded out, as he curled into his futon. Corrine walked over to the light switch flicking it off. Night had finally fallen on Banjugakure and a new day awaited on the next at the next sunrise.
