A Meeting with the Aburame Clan.
King Enma having finished his business with the Hokage was now accompanying Gai to the Aburame household. An Anbu messenger had already been dispatched to the Aburame household to inform the head of the Aburame clan that the King of Monkeys wished to speak with him to discuss a few important matters.
A few minutes later
King Enma had finally reached the clan grounds of The Aburame household and was pleasantly surprised to see Shibi Aburame personally greet him at the door. "Greetings King Enma, Gai san I am honoured to have the handsome blue beast and the King of Monkeys as my honoured guests in my humble home. The reason being that there is no reason."
Gai laughed well naturedly and said "I must say, Shibi that is the most I have heard you or any of your clan members say in a single sitting." Shibi smiled under his cloak and said "it is true we are a clan of few words, we prefer to let our actions speak for us instead. As is the nature of any insect." King Enma laughed and said "reasonable and logical as always aren't you Shibi, your father Shibu Aburame was the same. I knew him well."
Shibi nodded his head, and said "I am well aware of that King Enma however the scroll you gave me mentioned events of the future and the Aburame clan's preparation towards it." "Indeed it did Shibi, and it is that very thing I have come to discuss with you; however i wish to do so only with you in private." Shibi nodded his head and said "of course King Enma. Please come in. Gai san you are also welcome in my home. Gai smiled and shook his head. Thank you Shibi-san however I have much work to do." With that said Gai took off.
A few minutes later
Shibi Aburame after having completed the formalities and welcoming King Enma; Shibi Aburame guided him into his study where the two of them sat on comfortable couches with a small table in between them. Shibi waited silently while a servant brought in a tray with sake. Once the servant had poured the sake and left; Shibi gestured to his clansmen for privacy. Once gone Shibi finally spoke; "you wished to speak with me Sarutobi-dono?"
"I trust you have read the scroll I sent you Aburame-dono?" I have and I am interested to know more." "Good then I will get right to the point, Shibi as I am sure you know my kingdom lies towards the North. Near my borders lies a small town where a group of Shaolin Monks have only recently opened a small monastery, named the Nagoya Monastery. While they are quite self sufficient, and are well provided for especially by my clan what they lack are two things. One is a group of dedicated students and two is decent pest control." Shibi smiled at the last two words."
"What they truly need are a group of young students who would be willing to learn martial arts and what they need is someone to help them in controlling the insect population that has grown rampant. Being Shaolin monks they believe all life is sacred and do not wish to harm the insects. So they asked me for help knowing that I was a Konoha shinobi they felt I would be able to aid them. Thus my letter to you, and just so you know these are no ordinary shaolin monks they are former martial art masters who later took up priesthood. They have mastered the martial art of: White Crane Weng Chun Kung Fu."
Shibi who was sipping sake from his glass almost dropped his glass in surprise when he heard the last statement. Shibi came forward and said "are you saying what I think you are saying Sarutobi-Dono?" King Enma smiled and nodded "That is correct Shibi, what they have asked is that if young Aburame shinobi were to come and help them with their insect population problem they would in return teach the Aburame clan members the lost Martial art of the White Crane Martial art; but they requested that only young Aburame clan members be allowed to join the monastery, because they say it is easier to fill an empty cauldron than to empty a full cauldron." Shibi was deep in thought; how long would they have to stay at the Monastery to gain mastery over the art?" "The monks have told me if a student is diligent and capable he or she can master the basics in 2 years and once the basics have been mastered, then an additional 3 years to attain mastery over the art. At present moment there are only three masters. They say that for most effectiveness they will teach a maximum of six students at a time." "Shibi was silent for a full five minutes while his mind quickly processed the possibilities. King Enma simply sat there and sipped his sake, and removed his smoking pipe from his vest and lit the tobacco with a match.
10 Minutes later
Shibi finally broke the silence and looked at the king of primates and asked how long before they need an answer?" King Enma looked at Shibi with a curious look and then removed the pipe from his mouth and said "they wish to have an answer as soon as possible in about a month's time, especially with the summer fast approaching." Shibi nodded and said "I will have to discuss this matter with my clansmen and the Hokage, but I do not expect many problems. If and when we do agree to help them, will you be our mediator King Enma and help with the formalities that are required. "King Enma smiled and said "I tell you what Shibi it has been a long time since I had a drink and some good company, so if you will help me finish this fine bottle of saké you have a deal." Shibi smiled and said "I would be honoured to do so "Sarutobi-Dono, I also invite you to dine with my clan tonight, we shall make a meal fit for a King." King Enma laughed at the intended pun and nodded his head and with a smile on his face raised his glass of saké to happier times.
