Caravan. And then Team Four will stay with the caravan while we get off into the Leaf Village where we will be investigating a specific tea shop that has been doing some illicit illegal activities.

SPEAKER_06 2:29

That is word for word what I said.

SPEAKER_11 2:32

But we can also we're doing this kind of undercover and subtle because we can't let anybody know that we are shinobi from the mist. Correct. Um I think that's all I got.

SPEAKER_07 2:45

Ariya had your seven swordsman training. Did you rematch with uh Maki Kano? Oh, yes, it's very not go very well. It's one to one right now.

SPEAKER_11 2:54

Let's edit that out. See, you know, I didn't mention it because I didn't want to embarrass you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_06 2:58

And Percy and Kaise had the medical training.

SPEAKER_11 3:01

Yes. Which I think went mediocre for me, but he didn't really think it was well, which is surprising for his character. Yeah, I agree. Okay, so yeah, it's the most threatening character while also being the one that's the most suited for medical jutsu. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:18

Don't get on my bad side.

SPEAKER_08 3:20

Or else I'm all healed.

unknown 3:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:24

That's awful.

SPEAKER_07 3:26

Um it is Ermie afternoon in the Mist Village. You guys have done your goodbyes, stuff like that. Um, you guys still have a few hours before the ship is leaving. There's um merchants and vessels loading up on the ship. You see people like loading carts and you know, livestock and animals onto the ship called the Rolling Marlin. Rolling Marlin? Yeah. Um yeah, it's a pretty big ship. It holds around like at max capacity, like 800 to 1,000 people. Um very kind of cruise ship-esque. Um the layout is basically hijacked from Black Ops 2.

SPEAKER_12 4:03

Nice.

SPEAKER_07 4:04

Nice! Just scaled up a little bit. All that um the yeah, you guys would see it's mainly white with like blue accents. You see a lot of decaled marlins on the side. Nice. Um, along with the name that said, yeah, the rolling marlin, and then underneath it said Treeu Shipbuilders, which Kai say recognized last session. Um the wood, although is a lot darker, like a darker brown, kind of deep pine. Um, yeah, what are you guys up to? You got a few hours before you leave?

SPEAKER_11 4:31

I want to go to Favroot Remedies.

SPEAKER_07 4:35

Okay, easy enough. Um, yeah. Is anyone coming with? Uh I'll go.

SPEAKER_02 4:41

I am broke. So you can tag along. I think I'm actually gonna do some fishing.

SPEAKER_08 4:49

Oh that's a great idea. I wanna see I wanna see walking away. I'm like, what are you gonna do? What are you doing? You're not coming?

SPEAKER_07 5:00

I know that walk. That's a fish. I know that walk. You got a great idea.

SPEAKER_08 5:12

Sorry, Percy, we'll catch up with you later.

SPEAKER_06 5:18

The funny thing is, is y'all are about to go on a boat for a long period of time.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

And y'all are gonna fish beforehand.

SPEAKER_02 5:24

Yes, we start early to get more money. This is this is relaxation fishing, okay?

SPEAKER_11 5:31

This is casual fishing.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 5:32

Not ranked competitive fishing, yes. So Percy makes his way to Fog Ru Remedies. Again, it's um kind of more back alley.

SPEAKER_11 5:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 5:43

There's a little bit of fog coming from underneath the door. Um, you hear maniacal laughing from the other side.

SPEAKER_11 5:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 5:52

But as you come in, you see Kaito Shizaru again. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And again, he just awkwardly pops up from behind the counter. Hey!

unknown 6:01

You're back. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_11 6:04

You know my crazy.

SPEAKER_10 6:07

Uh chill out.

SPEAKER_11 6:11

Yeah. Um, well, you know, my proficiency is in cooking, uh, so I was wondering if you had anything to help with that.

SPEAKER_07 6:21

I don't have cooking equipment, but I have capsules.

SPEAKER_11 6:25

Yeah. That that'll work.

SPEAKER_07 6:26

You want pills, kid? You want pills?

SPEAKER_11 6:30

Man is on several of his jobs.

SPEAKER_02 6:37

He's like, yeah, I'm right here.

SPEAKER_06 6:38

I'm on every single pill I have.

SPEAKER_02 6:40

He's definitely mixing potions.

SPEAKER_11 6:42

Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 6:43

His uh flying out of his apron.

SPEAKER_11 6:46

Yeah. He's like, I can't sell it if I don't know what it is.

SPEAKER_06 6:49

He uh ducks under the cab uh the what's the word counter.

SPEAKER_07 6:55

I think there's a countertop, but what's there's a word for a out of the countertop.

SPEAKER_10 7:01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_07 7:02

Um and brings out a little box and sets it on top. Um it's actually more of a jar. Okay. And you see inside there's a bunch of like empty capsules. It's like, is there something you're looking for? What do you have? A hundred capsules, ten for you. Really?

unknown 7:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 7:16

Well they're just empty.

SPEAKER_07 7:17

They're just empty gelatin capsules.

SPEAKER_11 7:19

Does is there like a difference between them or is they all just kind of generic?

SPEAKER_07 7:24

Generic use? I mean, do you need something bigger, something smaller?

SPEAKER_11 7:26

They're empty. Well, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_08 7:28

Like, I'm like, is there a difference between types of capsules? Like, is there a different type of capsules? That's what I'm asking. Is there big, medium, small capsules, or is it just a standard capsule?

SPEAKER_07 7:39

There's different sizes, but I mean this this is your standard, your your your your pill capsules. I mean, you can fit anything in here. This will work for any standard procedure.

SPEAKER_03 7:48

Procedure?

SPEAKER_11 7:49

I can't get out of this character. Oh, sure, yeah, I'll take it. You said tinry?

SPEAKER_02 7:56

I feel like it's a slight neck twitch. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 7:59

He twitches around and then you just uh the clinking of his very thick glasses around.

SPEAKER_11 8:06

So you said tin Ryu for a hundred capsules?

SPEAKER_07 8:09

Yeah, it's some I'm not gonna deterge a lot for that. It's it's very cheap. It's just like gelatin with capsules pretty much that dissolve when you eat them.

SPEAKER_09 8:16

Dissolve. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 8:18

Yeah, so you should be set for a long time with those.

SPEAKER_11 8:22

Yes. And then after that, oh thank you!

SPEAKER_04 8:25

Just very quickly, but try to be casual about it. Yeah, for real.

SPEAKER_07 8:29

Come on. If you I mean, if you need anything, any curiosities, if you gotta trade, we'll talk about it.

unknown 8:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 8:37

And then I would like to go and search for ingredients, please.

SPEAKER_11 8:40

Like, I feel like I should have the parent bread. No, for real, I'm going to get shot. At the very least, I need succulent or something. Yeah. I need the nool.

SPEAKER_02 8:51

I'm a child soldier, but I needed a doll. I need the nool!

SPEAKER_07 8:54

So you're looking for actual cooking ingredients?

SPEAKER_02 8:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 8:56

It's been a long time since you've done this. Um, yeah. It's a DC 10 nature check. Are you doing this within the mist village or in the ground marshes?

SPEAKER_11 9:06

Uh, where are y'all fishing?

SPEAKER_07 9:08

Right there on the Well, I was gonna do it on the ocean. On the ocean? Okay, that's Mist Village.

SPEAKER_11 9:13

Then yeah, I'll do it in the Mist Village then.

SPEAKER_07 9:15

Go for it.

unknown 9:16

Where's my nature?

SPEAKER_07 9:18

D20 plus your nature. 12 plus 2. Easy, yeah. And then roll me a d10 to see what ingredient you find.

SPEAKER_13 9:26

This one?

SPEAKER_07 9:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 9:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 9:29

Yes. This is a nine. This is very interesting. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 9:42

Alright, what did I get? What did I get? What did I get?

SPEAKER_07 9:44

You are searching along the beach with um, I mean, Pisan Horaya are fishing there, and you find a a large conch shell.

SPEAKER_10 9:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 9:54

Now, this is a little curious to you, um, but bear with me. This is actually a three-star ingredient.

SPEAKER_12 10:02

Okay. But this magic conch. Sorry.

SPEAKER_07 10:07

Bear with me because this is crazy that the dice gave you this. Because I actually have something to this later in the session. Cool. Just hold on to that for now.

SPEAKER_11 10:15

I have a seashell. I imagine you're trying to know for real. I also love to think that I'm like, okay, I'm gonna try and stock up for this mission. Ooh, a shell. This is cool looking.

SPEAKER_07 10:30

As you pick it up, you notice it is magically enchanted. When you put your ear to it, you hear the ocean.

SPEAKER_12 10:36

Guys, look at this! I found a magic card!

SPEAKER_07 10:40

Oh my goodness. Okay. Uh Horaya and Kai say, give me fishing checks. Oh. D20 plus your dexterity.

SPEAKER_09 10:49

8 plus 2.

SPEAKER_07 10:51

8 plus 2. Plus 1. You have an extra one. So you're 11? 11.

SPEAKER_02 10:56

SPEAKER_07 10:56

Y'all both fail.

SPEAKER_02 10:58

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 10:59

Y'all are there. Y'all are there, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:02

I'm gonna be like, you're too close. You're disturbing. You're disturbing the fish.

SPEAKER_06 11:07

Yeah, y'all are there blaming each other while the fish aren't biting.

SPEAKER_11 11:11

It's your fault. You're too loud. Can I do another future check while they do fight it off?

SPEAKER_07 11:16

I said a concha was.

SPEAKER_11 11:18

11 plus 2, 13.

SPEAKER_07 11:20

Yeah, easy enough. Roll a D10. Three. Three? You find C asparagus.

SPEAKER_12 11:27

Oh.

SPEAKER_07 11:28

Which is a one-star ingredient.

SPEAKER_12 11:30

Which is a what?

SPEAKER_07 11:31

One star ingredient.

SPEAKER_12 11:32

One star ingredient. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

Ooh, give us an example of a five-star ingredient.

SPEAKER_07 11:37

No, it's it's just one of three.

SPEAKER_02 11:40

Oh. It doesn't exist.

SPEAKER_07 11:42

Not yet. I'm just master showing makes it. Master Show.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Season two of the silent tide. That's just chant.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

Oh my god. Can we do another fishing check?

SPEAKER_06 11:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 11:58

Sixteen.

SPEAKER_07 11:59

Fifteen. Yeah, y'all both cast the cast of the reel. There's a sploosh of the spear. Rome D20, for which I'll get.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

Wow, y'all really are too close to each other. Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_07 12:16

So as Kaisei reels back in his uh rod, you pull up another green jellyfish that is just kind of undulating on the line. I think I got a leech. Ariya pulls back the spear. I don't even know how this is hap- how this is possible. Okay. But you pull it back, and at first you don't think you caught anything. And then you look really close and you notice on the tip of the spear there's a little salty smelt. That's just got a little tail.

SPEAKER_02 12:44

Hey. Protein. Okay?

SPEAKER_07 12:46

Protein.

SPEAKER_02 12:47

Omega 3s.

SPEAKER_07 12:48

That's right. Smells a good fish.

SPEAKER_06 12:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 12:52

For dogs, at least.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

Yeah. I'm gonna damn that.

SPEAKER_01 12:56

You're just raw? Like sushi style?

SPEAKER_02 12:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:59

Sushi style. There she goes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:02

Have you seen my cousin? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:03

Yeah. I have, I have to do it. I'm not gonna make you make you do a check for that.

SPEAKER_02 13:07

Um because it's good, I feel confident.

SPEAKER_01 13:10

Constitution check. You said I wasn't gonna make you until you said something. Uh oh. Very easy check.

SPEAKER_06 13:17

Oh, hariah. What's your constitution?

SPEAKER_04 13:19

Zero.

SPEAKER_06 13:20

A seven. You do feel a little rumbly and tumbly.

SPEAKER_04 13:25

You're a little pale.

SPEAKER_07 13:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:27

Yeah. Right, right, right, right. Are you sure the mimico jeans aren't aren't kicking in at all?

SPEAKER_06 13:34

They are halfway kicking in, if you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_02 13:39

Let's get on a boat now.

SPEAKER_07 13:41

Yeah. Um the time comes for y'all to board the boat.

SPEAKER_02 13:45

Board the boat.

SPEAKER_07 13:46

You guys get in. Um Sekima will make her way over to you guys. Like, where have y'all been? And goes, um, alright, team, listen up. I've made arrangements for when we undock or when we unload in the land of fire. The Leaf Village is not on the shore, so we will have to do walking through the forest to get there. Uh, as such, we will pretend to be food vendors. Percy, I'll let you lead this one. But uh, the Mujikaga has supplied us a little cart, some cooking materials. If anyone asks what you do, we sell food.

SPEAKER_02 14:23

Now, the other thing, without letting I can barely make a sandwich. Yellow dishes.

SPEAKER_07 14:33

On the box, yeah. She goes, um, also, discreetly as you can, I want you guys to study your bingo books. We're leaving the village, uh, the village's domain for the first time. We don't know who we can encounter out there who could come for the caravan, so look at your bingo books, try to memorize a few faces. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, so you guys bored on the ship. I've already described it. And yeah, uh at around 3 p.m., you guys set sail on the rolling marlin. There's a lot like as you guys leave uh the mist village. Um, what are you guys up to? My dad's just at the dock with like the tissue like waving.

SPEAKER_03 15:23

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 15:24

I'm seeing talk a lot and see you off. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 15:28

They have their cart, their ramen cart, and their wing cheese.

SPEAKER_09 15:32

Oh, good deal.

SPEAKER_07 15:34

You guys are on the ship. Is there anything you want to do? Again, team four's here. The shinobi cats are here.

SPEAKER_09 15:39

Oh yeah!

SPEAKER_07 15:40

Um so Kaise wanted to do a little bit more fishing, right?

SPEAKER_08 15:44

Wow, I'm fishing.

SPEAKER_07 15:45

Oh lord.

SPEAKER_08 15:46

I'd also like to be looking at some of the names discreetly in my bingo book.

SPEAKER_07 15:51

Okay. Um, yes. Uh, what part of the ship are you gonna fish at?

SPEAKER_08 15:57

Let's see. Maybe the back, the one that has the least amount of people? Or this part?

SPEAKER_07 16:03

Yeah, I mean, people are so how it works is there's the top deck, and then also like in hijacked, there's like the side rails that kind of go down on the sides. Um, but then how this ship works is on lower decks there's like a bun, there's a whole floor of just seating, like airport or like airplane seating, where like it's a bunch of chairs next to each other. Sounds weird, but this is what we experienced in Italy on our honeymoon. Cool. We took the ferry, it's like a cruise ship boat, and then you go to another floor and it's just like airport or uh airplane seating. And everyone has a seat, so a lot of people are kind of finding in finding their seat or they're staying with their cargo, stuff like that. So there's not too too many people on the top deck right now.

SPEAKER_08 16:43

Okay, then uh I'll be on the top deck.

SPEAKER_07 16:45

Okay. So yeah, you're on the top deck at the back of the boat.

SPEAKER_08 16:49

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 16:50

As you are at the back of the boat, you do see a Kisari up there. And he's there also with his bingo boat. Um looking at it very longly, as I use the word so much.

SPEAKER_08 17:10

Did I notice this? Alright, I'm gonna go up and be like what's going on?

SPEAKER_07 17:19

Hey, hey, Kaisei, um, sorry, I just I mean, thank you so much again for helping me lead the clan trial. Um as you have gotten closer to him, you can see he's got his bingo book open, and the page he has open to is Chiyomi Nagusa. It was the woman with the black feathered um clothes.

SPEAKER_02 17:46

Yes with the 20,000 Yu.

SPEAKER_08 17:49

Yes, right. I haven't forgotten, I have it written down right here.

SPEAKER_02 17:53

Me too. Oh no. Well, didn't you mention that? She looks like 19. He did mention his sister! It's on the one we haven't.

SPEAKER_08 18:05

Well, at least if we if we get her, she will be closer to home.

SPEAKER_03 18:11

What? Everyone'll be closer to home. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_07 18:18

Yeah, so you you've seen the fishing rod. You've seen the bingo butt page, and he just kind of closes the book and he's like, nah, I'm I'm good. I just yeah. Thanks again for help with the trial. I'm doing okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:35

Can I ever hear this? Sounds like sounds so believable.

SPEAKER_08 18:39

What were you gonna do? I don't know. I think uh No, never mind.

SPEAKER_02 18:44

There's something else I'm gonna do.

SPEAKER_08 18:47

There's something about the bingo book bothering you?

SPEAKER_07 18:50

Um yeah, just the new page we got at the palace is Shiomi is my my older sister. Wow. That wasn't really okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:08

What no Yeah, she she left the village a few years ago after she completed her trial.

SPEAKER_07 19:20

And she she hasn't been back since. Until I guess the three toast attack. I I just I don't know why how she got wrapped up in that or how she's even connected to it.

SPEAKER_11 19:36

This is the worst person to have to be having this conversation with somebody.

SPEAKER_01 19:40

I'm over here, I'm getting ready. She's already cast the line like oh yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_06 19:46

Sorry. Oh sorry, what'd you say?

SPEAKER_02 19:49

Oh my god, my oh my gosh, I he's sorry, it's just over there in motion, just like oh okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:57

Alright.

SPEAKER_08 20:02

Well, I'll just let you know now that I personally saw her and the kind of damage she did to the village. I will bring her in if I come across her, but I will promise that I will do my best to make sure that it's alive.

SPEAKER_11 20:23

How comforting. How comforting, Harsey.

SPEAKER_07 20:28

I mean, tell me, did she look like she she was under some kind of genjutor or something? Did she look f enough to be of sane mind?

SPEAKER_08 20:37

I didn't see enough to know. But if she was, she'll be able to tell us what happened when we find her.

SPEAKER_02 20:47

Okay, okay. Good job holding out hope.

SPEAKER_08 20:51

Because I hope it wasn't on her own. Thank you.

SPEAKER_07 20:58

I appreciate it. I I really appreciate it. And he um you he at least have a little bit more of a comforted look to him as he pulls out a fresh seaweed pack and cracks it open.

SPEAKER_03 21:10

Oh, and begins to there he goes.

SPEAKER_07 21:14

Um as Kaisei goes to fish.

SPEAKER_02 21:18

Their sodium levels must be out of the spell around.

SPEAKER_07 21:22

It's in their DNA too.

SPEAKER_08 21:23

Well, you know, technically, I don't know if it's from like a lake or something. Does it have a lot of salt?

SPEAKER_01 21:30

Maybe they cultivate and breed specific seaweed for love sodium.

SPEAKER_08 21:34

Because only seaweed from the from the ocean would have salt. If it's from a lake, it shouldn't.

SPEAKER_01 21:45

Yes, that's no, that's maybe that's their speciality.

SPEAKER_06 21:48

You see like the Nagusa clan symbol on there? Oh, candy seaweed on the front.

SPEAKER_08 21:56

Is it like a light green or just like a really dark like green? It's a lot lighter.

SPEAKER_07 22:01

It's like really light, almost pinkish.

unknown 22:03

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 22:06

Wow.

SPEAKER_07 22:06

But as um, is there anything else you're saying?

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Sorry. Don't be too loud now. I gotta fish.

SPEAKER_12 22:13

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 22:15

He's not even saying anything.

SPEAKER_02 22:17

He's like to be loud, yeah. That's the wrong person.

SPEAKER_08 22:22

Yeah, I'll be like, uh.

SPEAKER_10 22:27

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_08 22:28

You want uh uh you want some some some more soggy seaweed?

SPEAKER_07 22:33

Uh he looks over at the seaweed, he's like, grabs it and he's like, oh, this this is from the Drowned Marshes. Not a bad find. Uh I mean, I'll stick with mine. This this is just raw. Um Well, you'd be the one that knows how to how to cook it through. How long has this been sitting in your bag?

SPEAKER_11 22:50

Oh, I don't even want to know.

SPEAKER_08 22:52

Uh it's fermented. It's fermented.

SPEAKER_11 22:56

Oh, Juli! Pickle buddy! For you!

SPEAKER_08 23:02

A kid of our friendship. It's pickled. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 23:06

In your bag play, like Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 23:09

It's not even in a bag.

SPEAKER_11 23:13

It's next to your old clothes and yeah.

SPEAKER_07 23:17

That's uh he kindly rejects.

SPEAKER_12 23:20

He's like, he takes it and just throws it off my ice myself so please tell me you're not gonna eat this.

SPEAKER_07 23:31

Good luck.

SPEAKER_08 23:33

What's he planning on as I like split all the smoke beans I took a buy those?

SPEAKER_07 23:41

I can give you, I have an eyeball pack and like rifle series bag. He pulls out like a now he's the trench coat guy. This well, this one's like a barbecue seaweed.

SPEAKER_08 23:51

Yeah, I don't know, I'll pop that open right now. I'm going. Alright.

SPEAKER_07 23:55

Um, as you go to fish as well, uh, a black and white shinobi cat you know as Sprouts comes uh alongside of you and perches next to you um as you are fishing. I don't know if I want to fish anymore.

SPEAKER_01 24:14

And um by the way. Are you casting a line or no?

SPEAKER_06 24:19

Oh no, cast a line.

SPEAKER_07 24:22

When you when she sees you cast a line, she kind of slumps over, lays down, and almost goes belly up and goes, let me know when you catch something.

SPEAKER_03 24:30

Oh just sits there.

SPEAKER_08 24:35

Just for you guys, I've actually I've walked away with a sandwich on a coffee table. When I come back, the top half is missing, and I find it in the bedroom. Just the top half and didn't eat it? Jesus bread and I don't know. Yeah, they ripped apart the top piece of bread and everything else was left. Awesome.

SPEAKER_11 24:57

We cannot obsess with bread. Like we can't leave apparently uh loaves of bread, like even if it's in its own packaging, we can't leave it up. Like gremlin style, scratch it open.

SPEAKER_08 25:11

There's uh one time I ate like two slices of pizza and I left the crust on a plate, and then I ended up falling asleep on the couch. And when I woke up, they were gone from the plate and they were in the bedroom again.

SPEAKER_11 25:23

They were happy.

SPEAKER_08 25:24

And they were they they hit it, they took it, they ran away.

SPEAKER_11 25:32

Like you're in the only other spot that you're ever in. Well, are you are you gonna catch anything for Sprout?

SPEAKER_01 25:39

Yeah, did you? What was the roll card? I saw you rolled. What did you roll?

SPEAKER_07 25:42

Five. Yeah, not getting anything. Uh the the stirring up of the boat is called caused the fish to leave. Um you said you were gonna do something, correct?

SPEAKER_02 25:53

Yeah, I wanna go find um tetra.

SPEAKER_07 25:55

Tetra? Ooh, okay. Give me a um perception check.

SPEAKER_11 26:00

Also I don't think we've ever really had any interactions with tetra.

SPEAKER_08 26:04

I know, that's why I'm trying to take this time to clean up my backpack.

SPEAKER_11 26:09

Just dumping it in the ocean. That twenty. Oh heck yeah. She goes. She goes, yep, that way. Okay. Uh yeah. That sucks.

SPEAKER_01 26:21

That does suck.

SPEAKER_07 26:22

You see um Tetra, and he's he's in the middle of the ship, and he goes down on that side piece. You don't know what high deck looks like. That's quality map. But on the side of the ship, there's like these little stairs that go down into this lower level. It's got like this balcony, and there's also doors back into the ship. Um, you find him going down those stairs and going into one of the doors. It seems like he has a key to um one of the doors to go inside.

SPEAKER_11 26:49

I love that you asked for a perception check. You rolled a Nat 20 for him to start saying, he's in the middle of the ship. Yeah, playing off his right.

SPEAKER_06 27:00

If you rolled low, you might not have caught him. The key, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 27:04

But just the way you started it, he's in the middle of the ship.

SPEAKER_07 27:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 27:07

It's like great.

SPEAKER_02 27:09

I'm going to uh follow from a distance.

SPEAKER_07 27:12

Okay. You follow, uh, yeah, it definitely seems like he has the key for this. Nothing sketchy. And he's not really like being sneaky. He opens it and you notice it is like the cargo hold of the ship. And he goes in there, and uh he doesn't lock it behind him.

SPEAKER_02 27:27

Okay, I'm following.

SPEAKER_07 27:29

Okay. You follow in, and let me see if he notices you.

SPEAKER_02 27:35

I got a Nat 20.

SPEAKER_07 27:37

Yeah, he rolled a three. Okay. So uh yeah, he didn't notice you come in. But you come in, you see there are a few merchants kind of hanging by their cargo. Maybe some of them are not trustworthy of leaving their valuable goods on the ship with others. And Tethero walks over, there's a you see a lot of like the food section of the cargo. He goes over and he does a few hand signs and he starts uh making ice. And he's putting it next to RV's crates and fresh like vegetables, fruit, and fish. And he's keeping all of the expirables um cold.

SPEAKER_02 28:08

That's so nice. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 28:10

I'm gonna say um with your Nat 20 perception, you know that this isn't out of the kindness of his heart. This is part of his mission. Oh, yeah. You notice that he's not like, how's everyone doing? Like, everyone, is everyone good? Yeah, kind of.

unknown 28:25

Right.

SPEAKER_07 28:26

He's not unhappy about it, but he's he's doing his duty.

SPEAKER_02 28:28

Yeah. Alright, I'm gonna say, um uh, hey, da da da, right? Oh wait, no, I would know that, obviously.

SPEAKER_01 28:38

Well, you forgot every wire's name.

SPEAKER_02 28:40

Hey, hey, hey, hey, you what are you what are you um doing out here?

SPEAKER_01 28:47

Oh, right. I don't know his voice. I don't know his voice part.

SPEAKER_07 28:53

Yeah, just not uh part of my job is arguable school. What about you?

SPEAKER_02 29:04

Um doing pretty good. So question. Monkey, you know, you spend a lot of time, you spend a lot of time with her. How are you doing with the team?

SPEAKER_07 29:17

Honestly, great. And we learn all kinds of formations and different tactics to work together and utilize our teamwork very effectively.

SPEAKER_02 29:32

And her um ship skills exquisite.

SPEAKER_07 29:38

I mean's training her.

SPEAKER_11 29:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 29:43

She I think she's going to Seven Swordsman training too. She I mean she's and I just saw her, I think she headed to the front of the ship to to practice more.

SPEAKER_00 29:52

Yeah, I think I I've seen her once or twice in the just came back from practicing.

SPEAKER_11 30:01

Not to brag. She did some 360 flips, you know.

SPEAKER_02 30:09

So, like if she had you know, a a weakness, something to work on, perhaps you'd know what that is.

SPEAKER_07 30:18

Pretty obvious. She's a wonder pony. All she does is her sword. Very good at what she does. That's all she does.

SPEAKER_05 30:38

That was a that was a big help.

SPEAKER_04 30:48

This is the first like real interaction you've ever had with a real friend.

SPEAKER_02 30:53

We went through the whole academy together.

SPEAKER_11 30:55

Yeah, for real. You didn't even know his name in the beginning.

SPEAKER_02 31:02

Alright. She's gonna walk away now.

SPEAKER_07 31:04

Yeah, as you walk away, he's like, Oh, you're that girl from the academy, right? Oh goodness. Um, okay. Going to Percy, and then I will do a flashback of like what y'all find in the bingo book.

unknown 31:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 31:19

Percy, what are you up to?

SPEAKER_11 31:20

Where are our senseis?

SPEAKER_02 31:22

Like, where are they?

SPEAKER_07 31:22

Okay. Um, give me a perception check.

SPEAKER_02 31:25

Oh, no one wants to go talk to Maki. So often.

SPEAKER_04 31:30

I just realized what you said.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

I mean, who's that?

SPEAKER_04 31:35

What are we talking about?

SPEAKER_08 31:37

A six. Dang, you almost had a 16.

SPEAKER_06 31:41

I said, yeah. Well, what's your perception?

SPEAKER_04 31:44

Negative one.

SPEAKER_07 31:46

Right.

SPEAKER_11 31:47

I was like, maybe you won't ask and I can get away with it.

SPEAKER_07 31:51

So, uh, yeah. Sekuma and Korokite are nowhere to be seen. At least from Percy.

SPEAKER_02 31:57

They're on the dock.

SPEAKER_07 31:58

Horionos.

SPEAKER_02 31:59

Remember they had a competitive thing between the two of them? They used to they were teammates.

SPEAKER_11 32:05

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_02 32:06

Remember at um at the Unity Day Festival?

SPEAKER_11 32:09

Yeah, eating competition. Oh, I never realized that's where you got that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:16

They they got a little competition.

SPEAKER_11 32:18

Uh can I roll another perception check to see if I see anything that's noteworthy?

SPEAKER_07 32:23

You want another perception check? Oh, I'm gonna say, do I As long as it's for something different. What were we gonna say?

SPEAKER_11 32:27

Just do I notice anything notable, like just looking around, like anything looking suspicious. Um can I do that type of perception?

SPEAKER_07 32:38

I think that was still a pretty general perception looking around the ship. Um, with a five, you don't really notice anything suspicious. You do not see Korakite or Sekuma. However, something that is overpowering enough to sense on a five, is you smell a heavenly meal being cooked. Somewhere um towards the back of the ship.

SPEAKER_02 33:03

Okay. I wanna are the gills reverberating?

SPEAKER_11 33:08

You tell me. Just float on the scent trail. That smells coming from.

SPEAKER_07 33:19

Yeah, okay. You uh make your way towards the back of the ship and a little bit of a spaced out area from where Kaise and uh Kisari are. There's like some open like fire pit where people can do stuff or cook whatever they want. Um, and you see a middle-aged lady, um, a little bit of a bigger build, and she's cooking this huge pot with soup.

unknown 33:43

Soup.

SPEAKER_11 33:44

Okay. Uh I want to go up to her and be like, what are you making?

SPEAKER_07 33:48

Oh hey. I gotta find this voice. Give me one second. She's bear with me. I was gonna do like a more of an older lady voice.

SPEAKER_06 33:57

You got some chocolate.

SPEAKER_02 33:59

Oh my god. Okay, that one's uh hey, um, what I'm just making soup.

SPEAKER_07 34:08

I mean, yeah, you wanna take a look?

SPEAKER_11 34:11

Uh sure. What what have you thrown in so far?

SPEAKER_07 34:14

Oh, it's it's gonna be a seafood stew. It's mushrooms, uh fish, carrots, all kinds of things. Sounds good to me.

SPEAKER_11 34:21

Do you need any help?

SPEAKER_07 34:23

I yeah, sure. Um grab grab some of those cut vegetables and throw them in.

SPEAKER_11 34:27

Alright.

SPEAKER_07 34:29

Sounds good to me, let's eat.

SPEAKER_11 34:33

No, I just I wanna start helping her with cooking.

SPEAKER_07 34:36

It's like, oh you you fancy yourself a a bit of a chef too, huh?

SPEAKER_11 34:39

Yeah, my dad. We have our own uh ramen shop.

SPEAKER_07 35:04

SPEAKER_02 35:12

Oh, okay. Interesting.

SPEAKER_07 35:17

No, for real.

SPEAKER_11 35:18

Uh I haven't really been there, but sounds cool.

SPEAKER_07 35:23

Oh, you mind you want to learn this new recipe? Of course, yeah. So yeah, you watch her, she's throwing all kinds of stuff, making this huge like seafood stew. And it's looking good, it's smelling good, you're kind of helping her along with this. And um right before it's ready, she pulls out a conch shell. I had this planned beforehand, so this is crazy that you got- and she scoops a big old ladle and pours it into the conch shell. Okay. And she spins around and hands it out towards you with a spoon. And she goes, the conch shell, it's most ingredients you you put in for the soup, but this one is actually the bowl itself for the soup. And there's little bits of minerals in the shell that revitalize the body. Adds flavor too.

SPEAKER_12 36:11

Big big old mouthful.

SPEAKER_07 36:13

Big old mouthful. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 36:15

Wow.

SPEAKER_07 36:16

This is a three-star ingredient that is not technically an ingredient, but yeah. Um, well, yeah, the the minerals in it. Um, it tastes heavenly. This is an amazing seafood soup. And yeah, there's something about eating it out of the conchell. You know, it's like when you're getting a bread bowl at Panera, it's just exciting.

SPEAKER_11 36:36

Oh my goodness. Have you ever uh made anything else in the conch shell?

SPEAKER_07 36:41

All kinds of things. I mean, I even put mac and cheese in here, but gumbo, soups, stews, ramen.

SPEAKER_09 36:51

Sounds so content.

SPEAKER_07 36:53

You want to show me one of your ramen recipes? Uh sure. Should we start kind of clearing some space?

SPEAKER_02 36:59

You like to read the old lady friends?

SPEAKER_07 37:01

Uh she cleared a little bit of space for you for you know you to start cooking. Sorry. I was like, do you have do you have any dough? Oh, yes, right here. She's got like she's got this backpack on, big old frying pan, she's got all kinds of cooking equipment.

SPEAKER_08 37:14

And she's making stuff.

SPEAKER_07 37:16

She's a traveling chef. Yeah, I love it. It's in a Ziploc bag.

SPEAKER_11 37:19

Yeah, she she gives you some stuff to start working with and she's making the noodles, or cooking the noodles, use the bra from the the soup, but just the broth. Okay.

SPEAKER_13 37:30

And then pour it on the noodles and then do a few mushrooms and yeah.

unknown 37:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 37:35

Yeah, she's kind of following your lead with that. Um as you're cooking, she's like, everyone's giving me strange looks. I mean, we we get food on the ship, but uh cafeteria is not good stuff. So I decided we gotta make something here.

SPEAKER_12 37:49

Mm-hmm. Good food means uh strong muscles and good energy.

SPEAKER_07 37:54

Roll me an advantage d20 to see how well this soup turned out.

SPEAKER_05 37:59

Oh no.

SPEAKER_07 38:01

You can add your uh sleight of hand if it gives you a bonus. Okay, I'm not gonna subtract from there, but is it a subtraction? 14 plus two. Okay, yeah, 16. You make an incredible ramen. Which one is it? Uh like a veggie one?

SPEAKER_11 38:16

Well, uh yeah, I guess I would make my my version of the ramen, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 38:20

She yeah, she gets a big old um, uses chopsticks, gets a big old um clump of the ramen, puts it back, and she's like, oh my goodness, I mean, Percy, this is this is incredible stuff. I I what did you say the the name of the shop was? Taca water ramen. I I'll be there sometime. This is this is great. First bowls on the house. Oh my young man, you are. Thank you.

SPEAKER_11 39:01

Um very, very powerful D20 right there.

SPEAKER_02 39:11

Yeah. My finger's cold, it feels to it's like irritating your finger a little bit. No, it's just you know how you feel strength when you're when you're cold. Oh yes. Such a little loose is that.

SPEAKER_07 39:25

Um, everyone give me perception check on their bingo book, real quick.

SPEAKER_08 39:31

The old ladies.

SPEAKER_11 39:34

I got a three.

SPEAKER_07 39:36

Wow.

SPEAKER_11 39:37

I mean, technically, we didn't really look at our bingo book, technically. That's true. I know what happens for Horaya. 12. Oh, do you? Do I add anything? No, it's just a general role. No, it's perception.

SPEAKER_13 39:49

Oh, perception.

SPEAKER_06 39:50

Oh, plus six.

SPEAKER_13 39:51

Oh, the minor two.

SPEAKER_06 39:52

Yeah, so um Percy gets way too wrapped up in the cooking.

SPEAKER_07 39:57

I'm having too much fun. Um Haraya opens her book and you forgot to close the ring when you added the new pages, and a few of the pages fly out.

SPEAKER_03 40:08

Oh no! She said she quickly did you quickly try to close it.

SPEAKER_06 40:16

Uh you did lose a few pages.

SPEAKER_02 40:17

No, why not go after them?

SPEAKER_07 40:20

With a nat one, yes, you do, and you do not successfully.

SPEAKER_02 40:24

But it looks like I lost them on the boat, like they didn't fly into the book.

SPEAKER_07 40:28

No, the the sea wish they're nerve off the ship.

SPEAKER_02 40:31

Oh, okay, that's that's better.

SPEAKER_07 40:32

You only lost like two or three pages.

SPEAKER_02 40:34

Can I ask them to see their bingo books? Yeah, of course. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 40:38

Well, hold on. Kaisei, uh, back at the ship. Um you got a 18? Wow, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 40:44

Um He read that. That's the only book he's ever read.

SPEAKER_07 40:47

Yeah, for real.

SPEAKER_11 40:48

You didn't read your clam book. But you read this one.

SPEAKER_07 40:51

I browse the clam book. So as you open the Mist Village Bingo book, you do notice it is separated out by village and then alphabetical order by last name. Um as you go in there, is there any specific sections you're looking to? Well, I'm not gonna ask for that. I'll tell you, yeah, you definitely have those three new pages from the mist. Um, you do see you see Kojimara, which is a guy you knew that you saw the the the newspaper articles about who slaughtered the Toryu shipbuilders. Um he has a bounty of 7,000 Ryu.

SPEAKER_13 41:28

Who's your name again?

SPEAKER_07 41:29

Uh Kojimara. K-O-J-I. M-A-R-A.

SPEAKER_12 41:36

M-A-R-I?

SPEAKER_07 41:38

R-A. And you do notice there is no last name on there.

SPEAKER_02 41:43

Slaughtered True.

SPEAKER_07 41:45

There's there's a bunch of things on there. That was just the most recent thing. Yeah, he slaughtered one um rank is he. Well, he's a rogue shinobi. They don't really have rank. You can tell based on his long rap sheet of murders, thefts, robberies, political conspiracy. Um you even see on there necromancy.

SPEAKER_02 42:10

Oh, goodness gracious.

SPEAKER_07 42:12

Oh, and he's only 7,000 rails? Yeah, this this does show the severity of how desperate the mist village is right now with the recent attack to get information. Um that everyone involved, even if they didn't necessarily do anything, um, had to hide bounty right now because they're still figuring out what happened. 7,000 reasons Kojimara. You see um there's like yeah, there's a few like Hozuki twins on there that you notice. There's like a brother and sister duo. In the leaf section, I'm guessing you're mainly just checking this leaf for right now. Yeah. Um, you see a few, there's not really any high value outstanding currently from the leaf. Um the biggest one you see is a um a man with a dark skin complexion named Matcha Motuzo with a 5,000 Ryu bounty. And you do see um there's a little note. What was the last name? Sorry. Motuzo, M-O-T-O-Z-O.

SPEAKER_13 43:13

What was the first name? Sorry.

SPEAKER_07 43:17

He's a man with like dark skin and he has like greenish hair.

SPEAKER_02 43:23

And his crimes. His crimes.

SPEAKER_07 43:26

Also thefts and stuff like that. But you do see in the note section suspected of uh wielding the kabutuari. Which is the uh hammer and axe of the seven swords. So the mist has kind of there's kind of a section where it it labels like how much the leaf is offering up, and then there's a bonus from the mist because they want the they are putting yeah more on this guy.

SPEAKER_13 43:52

Uh can you say the name of the swords again?

SPEAKER_07 43:54

Kabutuari. You can just put it as uh hammer and axe. You also see a um a Funato on there. Which kind of piques your interest. But other than that, um give me a history check.

SPEAKER_02 44:10

I'm sorry, real quick, I missed um what the bounty is for Macha Mud 2.

SPEAKER_07 44:15

Currently 5,000.

unknown 44:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 44:18

That's oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_07 44:19

Diagonal.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

That's diagonal.

SPEAKER_07 44:21

Yeah, re-roll.

SPEAKER_02 44:23

That was clear to me. No!

SPEAKER_01 44:26

There we go.

SPEAKER_08 44:27

Bridge directly in the middle. 18. 18. Okay. Zero.

SPEAKER_07 44:33

You have heard your uncle talk about Kojimara before. With an 18, you know. You're just now piecing it together. You've heard a few of these stories. You know that Kojimara used to be one of your uncle's teammates. You're recalling these stories.

SPEAKER_04 44:59

Oh my goodness, I'm running out of stories. There's so much more.

SPEAKER_07 45:01

It's just now hitting you now because your uncle, maybe like sometimes if he had a few too many drinks, you would talk about it. The old days, but he would just call him like Koji. So you're just now putting together, oh, Koji Mara is Koji, but no. Masushige. Masushiga Kagliari.

SPEAKER_11 45:23

Bad nephew. Maybe.

SPEAKER_07 45:26

I've got a lot of fan. Okay, sorry for the heavy lower dump. Um, anyways, the only other thing that I know is going to happen is Hariah. Yeah. At some point after you've quickly closed your uh reassembled your bingo book. Um, you notice a young kid kind of staring at you from a distance before approaching you. He looks to be about 10 years old. He's got like this ash-gray hair.

SPEAKER_11 45:56

Are you gonna have a student prodigy to follow you around now?

SPEAKER_07 46:00

With like these, it's like gray facial markings like coming down the middle, down his forehead to his nose, and it splits off to each cheek.

SPEAKER_03 46:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 46:08

Um he's wearing like an orange robe with black and white like geometric triangle patterns. And you see tied to his hip is a few different masks of different colors and patterns. Um you see him staring from a distance, and then he comes up and approaches you.

SPEAKER_02 46:25

Right.

SPEAKER_07 46:26

He goes, uh, excuse me, lady. Um I noticed Lady. Wow. I'm 13. Yeah. Lady I noticed your eyes are white. What's going on with that if you don't mind me asking?

SPEAKER_02 46:40

You're blind. No, no, I'm blind. It's a big stutter.

SPEAKER_07 46:52

You're hard to say.

SPEAKER_02 46:53

But he just said lady, I assume I just turned to look at him.

SPEAKER_07 46:56

No, but you kind of noticed him. Well, he might have been following you when you went down to see Tethada. But he was still kind of there waiting outside.

SPEAKER_11 47:05

Um the first time I saw he knocked his eyes. I was like, oh, she's blind. Because they didn't say anything about it. They're just like, oh yeah. She has white eyes.

SPEAKER_02 47:16

I'm like Okay, alright. Yeah, I'm just gonna stutter like a lot first, and then I'm just gonna say. Uh-huh. Um, it's just it's just common in my in my clan.

SPEAKER_07 47:33

Oh, um birthday. What what clan would that be?

SPEAKER_11 47:40

SPEAKER_02 47:47

Yeah. Um, uh the Hugu clan.

unknown 47:50

SPEAKER_02 47:54

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 47:55

Oh, interesting. And then he walks up to you, um kind of slowly and then gets a little closer, and he plucks one of your hairs. And he goes, sorry, I I know this is weird, but I I just I kind of get pieces of hair of people I find interesting.

SPEAKER_02 48:16

Oh! Ew! Punching him.

SPEAKER_07 48:19

You're punching him?

SPEAKER_11 48:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 48:21

Really?

SPEAKER_11 48:21

Not yeah. Like, slap, bro. Don't punch a child. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 48:26

No, that that that that deserves a little.

SPEAKER_11 48:28

I'll slap him. Yeah, but we don't know who this child is. He could literally be like the child of the ship driver. Yeah, and something can even be putting the play.

SPEAKER_08 48:37

Well, yeah, but that's like because that is.

SPEAKER_11 48:39

We don't miss the child.

SPEAKER_06 48:50

Ryan backhands this kid off. No.

SPEAKER_11 48:55

He loses every strand of hair he's ever collected.

SPEAKER_07 48:58

He plucks a strand of your hair and is busy kind of putting it in a pouch, and you just smack him because he's not paying attention.

SPEAKER_13 49:10

Alright, alright, what you doing, what you doing?

SPEAKER_02 49:12

Right. Um, he plucks my hair. I don't think even my own uncle and grandma have ever hugged me before. Um, really odd. Starting with some trauma. Yeah. So I'm going to backhand him. I'm gonna backhand him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:32

Oh my lord.

SPEAKER_02 49:33

I'm gonna backhand him. Um, and when you know he's gathering himself, which is gonna take a minute, I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure that I take the hair. Uh you really want to from his hand. Oh, okay. And then I'm going to tell him you have no manners.

SPEAKER_07 49:56

He's on the ground. Um, I'm I'm I'm of the rule of like natural 20. I'm not gonna assume you do a lot of damage because I'm gonna say with an at 20, you have perfect control. Okay. Right? It's not that thing of like you need to roll an at 20 and you're really gonna hurt him. You're in complete control of the situation. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 50:11

Get a hold of yourself.

SPEAKER_07 50:12

You smack him, and yeah, he falls to the ground, you easily take the hair back from him, and he's he starts like rubbing his cheek, and you see tears falling up in his back. I'm sorry, I I'm sorry, I that was rude of me. I I know. He shouldn't have done that. And he gathers and don't do it to anyone else.

unknown 50:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 50:34

Nice to meet you too.

SPEAKER_01 50:37

You mean like, oh my god, I'm like he begins to walk back to the back. Give him another one. Give him another one just to make sure.

SPEAKER_02 50:46

He's a little weirdo, but you know. Um, but this is like a you also can't just, you know, go looking up women's dresses. You can't just be, I mean, he has hair. He's specified.

SPEAKER_10 50:58

He he collects hair from a mask.

SPEAKER_08 51:01

He's specified.

SPEAKER_02 51:03

He should have asked us.

SPEAKER_08 51:05

Oh, I'm just doing this.

SPEAKER_02 51:06

Imagine it. Imagine if I just took a swab and went into your nest and was like, sorry.

SPEAKER_11 51:16

No, I'm on your side that this is weird and he should be reprimanded, but at the same time, it was probably just harmless. Where are his parents? That's it. We need to find out who's here to not tell him to be. But you get a little too comfortable approaching str touching strangers.

SPEAKER_02 51:33

So, I mean he says he said that you're interesting.

SPEAKER_07 51:37

Touching.

SPEAKER_02 51:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 51:38

Y'all are on the like side balcony of the ship outside the door of the storeroom, and he begins walking his way back to the stairs, and you see at the top of the stairs, an older gentleman um in like a brown and black robe set. Oh shit. He's pretty sh uh well, he's a shorter old man. He's got this huge pack and it's got masks tied to it all around. And he just shouts out, Dobuto! What are you doing? Get back up here, boy. And um Dobuto picks up his pace a little bit.

SPEAKER_08 52:10

And I like how you said I was the worst person. Gosh, you just slapped the child. And you just slap it.

SPEAKER_02 52:18

Well now we're gonna slap a child who was being weird and touchy.

SPEAKER_07 52:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 52:25

He plucked a single hair. He wasn't being very per se.

SPEAKER_02 52:29

That is Harai's personal space. I shed all the time. You can take as many as you want. But the thing is, you can't touch someone and do something weird, right? It's not just like a you can't touch someone and do something weird and then say, sorry. Like you're not sorry. No, I get it. But then he said, I just I just do this all the time.

SPEAKER_11 52:52

But that's the point is of like a kid's like, what is it? Uh he has no What is it? He has no uh control over his self-control. Um impulse control. He has no impulse control. But this is just how old is this kid? He's not like three. Yes. Still, I I didn't have that good of impulse control at ten. Oh, I would do something and they'd be like, why did you do that? I'm like, I don't know. I just did. He might have ADHD. Okay, we don't know.

SPEAKER_02 53:25

Well, he needed a reason to stop doing that.

SPEAKER_11 53:28

Okay, I agree. That he will now at least ask before he disappears. Exactly.

SPEAKER_07 53:33

The boy and the uh older man with the gray hair walks. Because Harah's like, I'm not talking to them. Yeah. Okay, um, other than that, some time passes until um you hear a call over like the ship intercom saying that the cafeteria is now open for food. Dinner time.

SPEAKER_11 53:56

Uh I wanna go find uh Harah and Kaise. Where would y'all be?

SPEAKER_02 54:03

Um I'll probably start walking towards the like maybe we meet there. Okay. Well, I wanna where would you be?

SPEAKER_08 54:10

I'm waiting at the door. They said, sir. I'm like first in life.

SPEAKER_11 54:17

Alright. I'm gonna come grab y'all's hand and be like, guys, I know a place we can get better food.

SPEAKER_12 54:24

But trust me, they said that this place is a lot better.

SPEAKER_02 54:30

Well, we trust your culinary expertise. Not you grabbing extras. But as we're we're you're taking us where you're taking us, I'm gonna ask you guys to go through a little bit on the bingo book and say. I tried my best.

SPEAKER_11 54:47

I did, but I lost a few pages in the wind. You lost a few pages in the wind? I did. Pariah! I know.

SPEAKER_02 54:55

I know.

SPEAKER_04 54:57

We're just like flipping through our books, like really like shoulder to shoulder. Comparing pages, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 55:02

Yeah, yeah. Uh, and I take them to uh Maroon, right?

SPEAKER_07 55:07

Marin, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 55:08

Marin. Uh they're like, hey, I brought customers.

SPEAKER_07 55:13

Yeah, she was kind of uh, it's been a little bit of time since Joe 8. Oh. But she she was still kind of kicked back in the back area, lounging. There's less people there, everyone's at the cafeteria. It's packed on there. So yeah, you do find her. She was kind of just resting. She wasn't sleeping, but she was just resting. Oh, hey, Percy, who who are your friends?

SPEAKER_11 55:30

Uh these are my friends. And only my friends, uh, this is Harah. And this is Kai say.

SPEAKER_07 55:39

I yeah, I mean, I assume they're your friends. Okay, um.

SPEAKER_11 55:45

Uh learning your recipe? I I wanted them to try your uh seafood uh your uh what was it called? I wrote it down. Seafood stew.

SPEAKER_07 55:57

Ah. There it is. I mean, I still got some saved and hot if you guys want it. Please absorb. Yeah, she pulled out uh a few thermoses from her pack and she hands one to Haraya, one to Kaisei. I'm assuming Chris is full at this point. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 56:17

Walking around a little wobbly.

SPEAKER_07 56:19

Yeah, again, this is just incredible.

SPEAKER_11 56:23

So would they get a stat bonus if it's from that three stars median?

SPEAKER_07 56:28

Sure. I mean it's only gonna last for a little bit of time. But yeah.

SPEAKER_11 56:34

I will say chug it and then go fight Maki.

SPEAKER_07 56:41

Uh yeah, I'll say you guys get like a plus one to dex and a plus one to strength for the next like two or three hours. We'll see if anything happens in that time.

SPEAKER_02 56:54

We'll see if anything happens. Dexterity and what?

SPEAKER_07 56:58

Uh strength. That has reminded me. I've been so bad about this, and I literally wrote it on the first thing of what to do today.

SPEAKER_10 57:05

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_07 57:06

Eight sessions ago, when I w gave the Will of the Mist speech, I'm into uh introduce to you guys the Will of the Mist mechanic. I have not. Session 16. Wow. I forgot every session. Um, this is how our version of inspiration is going to work. So inspiration in DD usually, it's a little bonus for us. I think it's just gonna be a d6. How this works is if you do something like really, really smart out of the box, or just have like a really impactful moment, it's like you gain a point of inspiration. Um, it's called Will of the Mist. But how it works is everyone has one right now from your your speech that you got. Um but it gives you a d6 to add to a roll or to damage. So if you're in the middle of combat and you roll really bad, you can add another d6 on top to try to hit, or if you already hit, you can add a d6 to damage.

SPEAKER_02 57:59

So that would have been really helpful when fighting monsters.

SPEAKER_07 58:02

Yes, I am so sorry. But yes. That just reminded me of it.

SPEAKER_08 58:05

Oh, would it be my added point to a fishing check? You can.

SPEAKER_02 58:09

Oh my goodness. He's just there for me. It's like, I can do this! Yeah, it's fine.

SPEAKER_06 58:17

It's like an anime flashback moment, but it's like just for a fishing checks. Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 58:22

Well you've already gotten the like the nat 20 of the drown marshes and the nat 20 of the ocean. Now you just need the river and the lake.

SPEAKER_01 58:30

Oh my goodness, I didn't even think about him rolling it to get a uh 20 on the fishing check. It's yeah, I mean, don't let it happen, I guess.

SPEAKER_08 58:38

Or maybe I'll save it for when I'm trying to sell it.

SPEAKER_02 58:42

Or when you're like dying and need it.

SPEAKER_08 58:45

I'll be over.

SPEAKER_07 58:46

The difference is you guys um yeah, have some incredible seafood stew. It is so good. And you get the minerals with a conch shell, which invigorate your bodies.

SPEAKER_11 59:01

You feel like you have gills and they're reverbing.

SPEAKER_07 59:04

No. That would be very uncomfortable for a human to start growing gills.

SPEAKER_11 59:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 59:10

Just a little itchy. Okay. Uh is there anything else you guys are doing? Um, the sun is starting to set, and people are heading to their seats to sleep for the night. Some people, a few people who spent extra half cabins, they all just have dinner while seating. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 59:29

I would like to take a look around and see if I notice anything. Suspicious.

unknown 59:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 59:40

Oh no.

SPEAKER_04 59:41

Well, you're the looker of the group, so you'd see it. Yeah, give me a roll.

SPEAKER_08 59:47

Eight plus six.

SPEAKER_07 59:48

Fourteen.

SPEAKER_13 59:50

Um, I still can't get over that that's your perception. That's so crazy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 59:56

It I mean, everything seems pretty peaceful. Um you do see Sekima and Korokita at this time. Um, they might have touched up with you guys. They were with the captains in like the where they were piloting the ship, like keeping lookout, but just from a higher vantage point. Um, but they are now kind of taking turns doing watch, like night watch along the ship. Um everything seems fine. Except for I mean, everything seems peaceful except where you hear one really weird fast footstep. Seems really out of place of everything else. Only one footstep or like uh No, it's one of those things where like you in Naruto where they're jumping between the trees and you hear like the like the very quick movement jump.

SPEAKER_11 1:00:36

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:37

You hear one of those, but you can't see where it came from. You don't see anything else. And like you said, you've seen Sekima and 4k like two rounds.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:46

Is it enough of a difference if I specifically try and do perception on whatever made that sound?

SPEAKER_07 1:00:55

No, because that's what that that's what that check was. To notice or anything.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:00

Yeah. Do I notice?

unknown 1:01:04

I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:06

Um up to you guys. I mean, it's about that time where people are starting to go to bed.

SPEAKER_11 1:01:09

Probably like we're just leaving.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:13

Lights are starting to get low. Everyone's going to their seats. Like we're probably anything.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:18

Uh I'll be able to do it.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:21

It does seem very minuscule. You almost don't even know if you just misheard it or if it was a wave crash.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:30

I'll just make a weird face.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:32

Weird face. Yeah, I may smell it may not necessarily seem a penny notes. Oh crop, that's what I say.

SPEAKER_11 1:01:42

Hey, uh, when we get back to our like our seating, I wanna I wanna now look through the bingo book as subtly as I can.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:50

Yeah. Just like in my face. Yeah, most people most people are asleep. You're like you're being like very you know, secret about it. And you realize everyone sitting with you is, you know, your team. There's no one in front of you or behind you, everyone's like starting to go to sleep. So you're being extra sneaky. So being um give me a perception check sixteen.

SPEAKER_11 1:02:10

Oh yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:11

Easily. Yeah, so you see all that same stuff that Kaisei saw.

SPEAKER_11 1:02:15

Um, but yeah, you see Oh, sorry, I wanted to specify I wanted to check for the stone village. Stone village? Because Marin mentioned. I was like, I've never thought of that village before.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 1:02:29

Because we heard from Koji about Koji and Macha, and those are kind of missed leaf related.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:36

Yeah, you don't notice really any of any importance that you even rake past 3000. Um, but you do suddenly remember someone telling you, you do see you come across a page that you remember Mizukage telling you to take out because it has been cleared. Uh it was a Stone Village ninja, and this is kind of a little flashback to when you're like Mizukage's palace that Team 4 took care of this ninja. Which was another one of the end stories. Yes, yes, it was.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:02

Uh what about McCloud Village?

SPEAKER_07 1:03:05

I'll be honest. I don't have uh the full bingo book planned out. So you I just have the mystery.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:14

I'm just so I'm just flipping through. You've seen how much time I'm prepping.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:18

I don't have to find out everything. The issue is I I I will just say, as of right now, no, nothing catches your eye.

SPEAKER_11 1:03:26

Okay. Except for the two that we already mentioned. And the three.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:30

One does catch your eye. Not from the cloud, not from the stone, not from the sand. From the mist village. Okay. You find a funito. By the name of Barbaro Funito.

unknown 1:03:43

Bar.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:44

Like Barbados. Barbarians. Barbarian. Somewhere. 2500 Rio.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:52

There we go.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:52

Barbaro B-A-R B-A-R-O.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:59

Where's Chiomi at?

SPEAKER_03 1:04:03

Oh god.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:05

Um for piracy. So many accounts of piracy. It just says piracy plus at this point. But make a history check. Nat one?

SPEAKER_11 1:04:20

Nat one. I've never heard of that name. I forget that that's my other name.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:25

Funato. That is a Funatone.

SPEAKER_11 1:04:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:30

No, but you you just had a very full day. I feel like Percy's just so excited about the new recipes and the new friend you make that you're kind of not really concentrating. You just kind of flew past.

SPEAKER_11 1:04:37

Like, oh yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:38

Yeah. Yeah.

unknown 1:04:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:42

Sekima will let you guys know.

SPEAKER_11 1:04:46

I know when the dice are just seeing so harsh he is.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:48

So mean. Alright. Um, as y'all are kind of winding down today, Sekima will tell you all. Tonight we are not necessarily needed to be on watch, but if you want to keep an eye open, do so. Team 4 is gonna handle most of the watches tonight. We're supposed to look like civilians, so none of us should be walking around on top of the ship late at night. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:12

And I just turn over. Yeah, I gotta switch the neck pillow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:20

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 1:05:25

Wearing those like cheesy Taurus shirts.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:31

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:33

I'm wearing a keep calm and tourist on shirt.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:39

The next morning comes and passes. There's again another call to the cafeteria for a breakfast. Um, but not too much happens this day. Uh are y'all kind of eating with marin again? Or are y'all gonna try the cafeteria?

SPEAKER_10 1:05:53

I'll try the cafeteria.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:54

Okay. Give me a D10 for quality. D10 minus one. It's not possible to get a 10 out of 10 in a cafeteria food.

SPEAKER_13 1:06:04

Five, something.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:05

It's a four out of ten. Yeah, it's like very powdery eggs.

SPEAKER_13 1:06:08

I'm wasting powdery eggs.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:11

Yeah, powdered eggs. Yeah, you see, um, you're like, some of it's breakfast food and some of it looks like dinner food. And you're like, is this from last night?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:20

Oh no. Um, yeah. The uh doing anything else.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:29

I think I would have gone with her, but since it's awful. I have some wild edible mushrooms. Can I have this?

SPEAKER_07 1:06:38

That is from two weeks ago in the swamp.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:40

Mushro are they like dried mushrooms and that?

SPEAKER_07 1:06:43

Like I'll give it to you.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:45

I think they're fine.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:45

I'll give it to you. Um, wild edible mushrooms. You're just gonna eat them by themselves? Yeah. Nothing else. And so that's what you have for breakfast?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:53

No, with the with oh, with the food.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:56

I'm gonna yeah, I want some umami on my eggs. Yeah, sprinkled mushroom. Makes it a five out of ten. Um yeah. The mushrooms, while safe, you probably should eat them a little bit earlier. They're a little mushy. No, they're concentrations maybe five. No. You're starting to get over your sickness from the smell. But um, yeah, next day comes, but around the early afternoon, you guys sight land. You guys dock um at a uh a port town on the in the land of fire. And there's a few hours where they're unloading, you know, the caravan, all the carts are coming out, all the goods are coming out. And you guys get onto the road to the leaf bench. Psychima brings out the little push cart, which is y'all's um I mean it's it's being towed, but the one that y'all are gonna pretend to be food vendors in case anyone asks you guys.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:51

Red is a stretch and it's like, ugh, finally rid ourselves of Maki.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:57

No! Team 4's still with you guys. The caravan.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:00

Can't they go back on the boat?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:02

No, no, no. You guys are trap you guys are helping escort the caravan from the mist to the leaf, because it's like a trade between mist and leaf. And then once we get the once you get to the leaf, you guys are staying, team 4 is going back to Garden. The caravan's not gonna wait for you guys to do this investigation. They need to get back to the leaf with new goods, like the train.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:21

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:34

Um, yeah, you guys start lining up. Um team 4 kind of disperses out into um little sections. Kurokite lines the front with Maki Kono. Kisari and Tetara are kind of hanging back in the back of the caravan. Everyone else is kind of in the middle. Everyone's there.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:57

Can I talk to the Tai San person real quick?

SPEAKER_07 1:09:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:01

As we're walking, I'm just gonna be like, you guys, we need to get on our date, okay? I was talking to Detera, and he was saying that like they've got foundations, you know, they they really like really good teamwork. And I just feel like sorry. I just feel like because I would I don't want them hearing this.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:23

Stage whisper, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:24

I just I don't we don't want to fall behind. We need to get better about we need to institute some formations and stuff, and Sekuma obviously isn't teaching us any of that.

SPEAKER_11 1:09:36

Sekuma's like right behind us.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:39

Um what am I not teaching you? No, for real.

SPEAKER_11 1:09:43

I mean, you know, that just seems to be kind of Maki's style. Like, we know it's not Kasari's style, but uh, you know, like she's training to be one of the seven swordsmen, right? Like no, I'm talking about them as a team. I know. That's my point, is that I think it's just more Maki's style.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:03

Because they're not good enough on their own.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:06

But don't y'all think we could get better at utilizing each other's strengths in battle. Percy's like, I thought we did pretty well. It was the Haraya thing. Half the time Haraya doesn't hit. You're just projecting.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:25

Haraya's like, I really would like more help than you guys.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:30

Not a bad idea. You guys want to start coming up with, you know, some formations you can call out. Um Sekuma might hear overhear some of this and goes. I mean, yeah. If y'all need it, we can uh make some formations, do better teamwork.

SPEAKER_11 1:10:46

She said if y'all need it. Wow. She goes, I think. Do you have any suggestions? Knowing based off of our specialties so far?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:00

Well, something basic is we can have, you know, attack plan A, where all of Team 18 targets one target. If it's a high value or dangerous target to neutralize him first. Otherwise, we could have a second formation where we go man on. Everyone fights individually, spreads out, chooses a target, takes him out. That's a basic one. But we can brainstorm some ideas of how Percy and Kayose, you guys seem more hardy than Haraya. You guys can move in first. We can be the front line, and Haraya can send in long-range ninjutsu. Which she hasn't really shown much of. Or we can create openings for Haraya and her swordsmanship that she's working on.

SPEAKER_11 1:11:51

Tough love, you know. Yeah. She's she's brutal, but she's honest. That's right. But hey, she said you're working on it. She didn't say that you were, you know, you're a lost cause. Oh. Yeah, that's an improvement. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:12:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:10

We're warming her cold exterior. Yeah, remember. We're getting to her.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:17

I'm cheap. I'm cheap.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:18

She didn't think she didn't want to be here.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:20

She did not seem like she wanted to be. She gave the vibe of it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:26

She did want to be a teacher. She just assumed cheese.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:30

I'll take a little piece. You want a little piece? Uh no worry. A cheese.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:36

Fine.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:36

Um, I'll take a little piece of cheese too.

SPEAKER_11 1:12:39

But I say, as we kind of like wrap up our conversation, I want to kind of like hold back to talk with Kasari.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:48

Okay. Yeah, you guys uh have the caravan has started to move. All the wagons and carts. It's pretty long. It's you know, maybe maybe a hundred or so feet of just wagons, crates. It is, yeah, it's a decently sized caravan. There's lots of goods, um, specialty things from the mist village that the leaf doesn't get very much coming in. Like seaweed. Yeah, you guys have seen all kinds of things. There's yeah, our seafood. Um, there's like clothing, apparel. You guys have been seeing like yeah, you guys have seen everything from you know, goods to even like small vanity stuff, like you saw uh that kid and old man have like masks, stuff like that. Um you guys are walking the it very quickly goes from coastal to forest. Landfire is known for its huge forest. Stuff like that. It's not quite jungle, but it is dense forest.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:39

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:40

Yeah, you guys are walking. Uh Percy, you said you're lagging behind to talk with uh Kisari?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:45

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:45

Okay. You sorry we'll kind of notice you lean back. Everything alright, Percy, you see something?

SPEAKER_12 1:13:53

No, I just I wanted to check in on you since you know you're clan trials.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:58

It's been great. I've been practicing some summoning.

SPEAKER_13 1:14:03

How's that been going?

SPEAKER_07 1:14:05

Pretty good. I I mean I've summoned this uh one of the tan and crimson ones. It's been pretty great. I mean, really just trying to work on see how effective they are on land. Uh I've noticed when when I summon it, it burrows itself in the ground and tries to get some of the water underground to extend its kelp and use attacks.

SPEAKER_11 1:14:26

But it can still be on land even if it's not on water?

SPEAKER_07 1:14:30

N not as long of a period of time as other summoning animals, but yeah, uh it I can still fight.

SPEAKER_11 1:14:37

Cool. Do you think you'd be able to summon the kelp mother one day?

SPEAKER_07 1:14:41

He just gives you this big stare, like, uh I don't know about that. Uh the kelt mother was really big.

SPEAKER_11 1:14:52

I think he got it, and like I'd smack him up.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:54

Smack of the back. He stumbles a little bit awkwardly. Because uh maybe one day I'm I'm sure my mother would want me to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_13 1:15:05

Do I would I have noticed, um Chiomi Naguso? Like when I made that connection.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:14

Um give me an int either intelligence or wisdom, whatever's higher. You can piece it together. Well, I guess intelligent.

SPEAKER_13 1:15:25

Nine, right? Six plus two.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:29

Eight, yeah. You you haven't quite pieced it together. Um Percy's lagging today. Actually. No, yeah, you did really bad on your bingo book roll. Yeah. Percy's kind of anatomy. You're just in head in the clouds with the uni recipes.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:43

It's not so bad that you lost pages.

SPEAKER_08 1:15:45

So I was gonna say I'm walking next to Horaya, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:15:51

Yep. But I was climbing all the way to Sari. Yeah, the the lineup is Korokite and Makikono are at the front along with uh Frenchie, the shinobi cat. Then in the upper middle, it's the um the masked people, the older man and the young child. And y'all are kind of in the middle, you know, fanning food vendor. Uh Marin's pretty close by to where y'all are at. And then at the very back, there's um Tetara Kisari and Sprout, along with that person. Um every now and then Tetara does kind of move forward and re-ice some of the goods.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:23

Oh, that's so cool.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:25

Yeah, what's up?

SPEAKER_02 1:16:28

You're done with that and rack. Um I since I'm walking next to Sekima, yeah, I'm going to talk to her for a second and let her know, like Sekima sensei. Yes, or I had my first seven swords in training. Oh a little while ago.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:57

Yeah. How'd that go? You have not eased ass. Damn right.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:07

She gives you open up the Ryan returns in this mouth.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:13

Like the veins are sad veins? Yeah, sad veins.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:19

Yeah. She's convinced that you just imply that your training is going great and you beat Maki again.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:25

Yeah, yeah. You know, she's she's a a formidable foe, though.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:32

Trying to hype up your resume.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:35

Yeah.

unknown 1:17:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:38

I'm glad. It's seems like those new swords are better than the the Kursurigama that you were using before.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:46

How I feel like maybe I mean some more long-range attacks in my arms. And I'm not really sure how to balance that with sword factory.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:59

Well, it's a lot. I'd say focus on one thing at a time. You guys are young, you have your entire lives ahead of you. Well, the shinobi world, maybe not. I understand your focus.

SPEAKER_11 1:18:13

Thanks, teach. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:14

But you try to learn everything at once. But I would say choose a primary training objective and a secondary. Like right now, your primary is swords training. If you'd like, I can teach you a little bit of ninjutsu. However, the best to go to would probably be Ujigetsu Hozuki. The team leader of Team 13. He specializes in water ninjutsu. I I can teach you a few things, but not a ninjutsu specialist. However, you saw what that water bill did to uh Percy on the beach. Like a pack of punch.

unknown 1:18:55

Hey!

SPEAKER_02 1:18:56

I mean beating 13 rolls. Yeah. Did you get to his EPT?

SPEAKER_07 1:19:06

Yeah. That's the uh team leader um with that giant water board and the tubes.

SPEAKER_13 1:19:11

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:15

I mean, I'm trying, okay? No, you're doing it! I literally have talked to I think every student character now. It's really just him who's in the most distant.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:24

And then I'm just gonna ask her. Um maybe you would like to come to the Momochi villa again sometime after our mission to train.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:38

Ninjutsu?

SPEAKER_02 1:19:40

I'm definitely not looking her in the eyes right now.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:42

For ninjutsu training?

SPEAKER_02 1:19:44

For everything training. I don't know, forget better training. Forget better training. For be a better shinobi training.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:51

I can agree with that. You need lots of it. So I think I can do that sometime.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:55

Top love.

SPEAKER_11 1:19:56

Come on. She's getting there.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:57

She's getting there. I can do that sometime.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:04

I mean for me too. You know, I wouldn't want you to slap. Train. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:11

Alright.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:13

I'm gonna I'm gonna burst into this conversation.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:16

Yeah. You're right there with them.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:18

Be like, hey, hurrah. I gotta talk to you.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:23

I'll be like.

unknown 1:20:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:26

Slowly awkwardly turning. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:30

Like, Sentei can't hear this.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:34

I don't want to be like, Chiomi's Kizari's sister.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:40

You can speak a little louder. We'll pretend that you, yeah, you've kind of pulled her off a little bit to the side.

SPEAKER_11 1:20:44

It's that classic anime where they're like speaking out loud, but for some reason they can't hear it. Just for the audience.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:51

Oh my god! Let's use our ultimate move. What are they doing?

SPEAKER_11 1:20:55

No, literally like naming the entire battle plan, and the other guy is just standing there, just like, I can't hear any of this. Yeah. Even though I'm five steps away. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:06

See, on like a TV show, you figured they could hide it a little bit, but yeah. Okay, anyways. Say it again.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:15

I did say the right names, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:21:16

Yeah, Chiyomi. Is Kisari's uh sister? Correct.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:20

Chiomi. On the bingo book? One worth 20,000 Ryu?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:26

I did see that one. I did see that one.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:27

Yeah. That's Kisari's sister.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:33

Kisari. Like our Kisari? Like like right here, Kisari?

SPEAKER_08 1:21:37

Like the one that we did his entire trial for. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:42

A little big.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:44

I thought you were about to say we did it for him. Like he wasn't even there.

SPEAKER_11 1:21:49

He just signed his name.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:52

And she was she was with my father, right? During the three Tales Attack?

SPEAKER_08 1:21:59

Yes.

SPEAKER_11 1:22:01

Cut to me and Kasari just like talking and laughing, like nothing. Yeah, what's going wrong in the world? You patting him on the back.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:10

I made him a promise. I hope it wasn't to not tell anyone, because no, I don't I don't I don't make those kinds of promises, okay? Um that I would do my best to make sure we brought her in alive.

SPEAKER_00 1:22:30

For his sake.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:33

Now, injuries, I didn't say anything about that. So if she has to lose a leg.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:39

At least she's alive.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:41

Yeah, she's alive.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:44

And my father. You did the same.

SPEAKER_08 1:22:51

I would try. But uh I think it goes without saying that if they end up trying to kill me, I'm going to do my best to survive.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:01

Then it's me who's gonna stay alive. Is Percy not?

SPEAKER_08 1:23:08

I don't think so. I haven't told Percy yet.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:15

I'm a little concerned about Percy.

SPEAKER_11 1:23:24

Yeah, Percy has been turtling it out.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:26

A lot of motion, hand motions. Yeah, I'm trying to hand motion so that I don't give it away.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:31

You just do like the the little turtle. Yeah, there we go.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:35

Yeah, yeah. You know, just yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:39

Turtle hand signing.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:41

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_08 1:23:41

Well, I was gonna tell Percy when we are able to get a moment alone. So hopefully the turtling out isn't a problem.

unknown 1:23:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_13 1:23:52

Thanks, guys. Good thinking.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:56

As you guys are mid-conversation, um, you notice the caravan stops, comes to a full stop. You guys hear a very sassy cat like at the front of the caravan. Now forward. And immediately you hear weapons being drawn. Maki Kow draws out her sword, um, Korokite pulls out the um oh my goodness, I might have called it Shibuki earlier for the. No, Kabutuware is the hammer and axe. Shibuki is the explosive blade. Pulls out all of that stuff, and um Frenchie in the front has alerted to something. And Sprout in the back gets that and kind of repeats back as well.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:31

I have a quick question.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:33

So Team 18 is supposed to be civilians, right? Correct.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:39

They're Shinobi. They're Shinobi.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:40

Okay. Um about to say when you said that.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:44

Correct. Not a part of quote unquote. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so when you said she pulled out her web, I was like, are we supposed to be subtle?

SPEAKER_07 1:24:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:53

That makes sense. Right.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:54

Would know that you are trying to be subtle, but team four. That's why Team Four Team Four is doing all the guarding. Gotcha. Okay. Um, but yeah, it seems as if Frenchie has noticed something or sensed something. Um Team 4 doesn't have a lot of sensory types, like any at all. So that's why the Shinobi cats are really here to help bolster that. Um, they've alerted to something. And all of Team 4 gets ready in action. Uh Korokite calls out, everyone stop! Something going on.

SPEAKER_11 1:25:23

And hands on the face. With it being cody, like I you can never know. We're like, oh, this is gonna be a subtle, like really easy D-rank mission. Oh, Tails Beast is.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:44

No.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:45

Two-tailed beast.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:46

You guys notice coming out from behind the trees.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:49

Uh huh.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:50

A bunch of people wearing these red camo aprons. They're gonna cook us alive. You guys recognize? I think one of you guys got a successful check on this. These are hands of the sea union members. You guys saw some of them around town. They were clearly helping the village recover from the three tails attack. They were handing out um goods and recruiting. I think, I believe also, I haven't rewatched what I said exactly, but they're kind of a controversial topic right now.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:26

I do remember you saying that.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:28

And they're starting, they're an organization that's starting to get a little bit more violent.

SPEAKER_11 1:26:32

Is that why it's controversial?

SPEAKER_07 1:26:34

Yes. Well, that and also the history. I don't think you guys rolled high enough to know what it was.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:38

It was just something that as kids you've got purpose if they're missing.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:42

Um, someone give me a history check.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:47

I'll try and see if I can get it.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:49

I say I got a four.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:50

Oh, oh my goodness, a five.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:52

Percy got on that one. I'm so sorry. You've been rolling so bad.

SPEAKER_11 1:26:56

Percy is just excited that we're on a C-ranked mission. We're finally, you know.

SPEAKER_08 1:27:00

I also like the fact that you're like, oh my god, your perception's so high, but your history's really high.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:06

Yeah, your intelligence is off the charts. Um okay. With a 14, you know that the hands of the sea.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:14

I'm putting my D20 in the case.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:15

It is a whole long backstory. But these people were um they're a union of all kinds of trades. Carpenters, you know, the progenitors of electricians, because they're simple electricity, all kinds of traits, you know. Um they are a union, and they were back around the time uh before Tikage, who was known as the one who caused the blood mist village. He was making a lot of moves, building a lot of stuff. You could you could argue that even though it was very oppressive and a bad time to be in the mist, he was rapidly expanding. He was the one who made the move from Old Town to where the current city center is now. And he hired a lot, like there were all these jobs for the union members. Um, however, when he was disposed of, and they kind of retook back over, the fifth Mizukaki realized they don't have the money. The village doesn't have the money to pay all of these contracts. So this is kind of a lot. I probably should have gave you all of this on a 15, but I'm already down the rabbit hole. Yeah, Mizukaki realized they didn't have the money, so they can't afford these contracts, they don't know what they were gonna do, whether they were just not gonna pay them or what they were gonna do. So now there's this whole big controversy of hands of the sea feel like gypped. They had all this work and money that's owed to them that was signed and contracted, and that, you know, they almost kind of in a sense, like prefer the fourth Mizukage over the current. And there's this whole debate of like, did did the fifth Mizukage really was there really not money, or were they just canceling stuff? And it's this whole big controversy of they want that, but they want what's owed to them. And they are starting to get more, yeah. So it is kind of controversial, people are on different sides of the debate. However, he's about to take a big turn. They start creeping from outside of the trees, and right off the bat, you see some some flaming material in their hands, and they throw like Molotov cocktails at the carts. My god. And they throw them through a few rules. Three of these um explosives, incendiary devices, hit carts and they immediately engulf. And you see that they they they don't have necessarily ninja tools, they have like saws and hammers and stuff like that, uh, that tradesmen would have. But yeah, they come out and they start throwing stuff and yelling, and they're destroying the caravan. So, very quickly, I want to know what you guys are doing. You guys see team four starts to move into action.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:51

Right? Korokita, everyone's getting drawn, weapons play drawn, but what are you guys doing?

SPEAKER_02 1:29:54

Uh I'm gonna run back to the group and be like, guys, I'm gonna look to Sekuma. See what she's like. I don't know if we should maintain No for real.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:05

I'm like, uh, should we run like civilians or should we fight like Shinobi? Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:10

I'm gonna provide civilian support.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:12

What does that mean when you're gonna do it?

SPEAKER_07 1:30:14

Well, Sekuma, Sekuma looks to you guys and she goes, hold for now. It's serious, defend yourself if you need to, but let team four handle this. Unless it gets worse. And I mean, yeah, these some of these cards are starting to go off.

SPEAKER_08 1:30:24

I'm gonna be patting down some of these cards with like a blanket or something. We're like, Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:29

We gotta save them, guys.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:31

Team 4 starts to quickly move into action. You see Korokite uh dash over to this number. There's more than just four members, by the way. But you guys at least clock four. Korokite runs over, draws out the um shibuki, turns it to the non-lethal side, and like conks one of the people out. Conk! Um, Wakikono and Frenchie start making their way this way, they don't quite get there yet.

SPEAKER_10 1:30:50

Of course, the two sassy people are doing that.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:52

Tetara and Kisari kind of work together on this side. And they're approaching this enemy right here, but there is one person kind of left out and free. There's a lot of commotion, a lot of people are starting to like gather, try to put out the fires. A lot of chaos is happening, right? And you guys notice one of the carts that caught fire happened to be a fireworks cart.

SPEAKER_11 1:31:20

Um my goodness!

SPEAKER_02 1:31:25

Oh, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:28

What? What are we gonna do?

SPEAKER_02 1:31:30

I was gonna do water puddle on the fireworks.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:33

You're gonna have to very high to do something about that. That jutsu is not like a that's really just a puddle, you know, that you drop on the ground.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:41

No, no, no, it says What is it like 10 minutes?

SPEAKER_09 1:31:44

That's like can you view jutsu without being a shinobi?

SPEAKER_07 1:31:49

Um Yeah, it's possible there are shinobi who aren't trained, but it's usually very unorganized. You can recognize that reacting very quickly with the jutsu might seem a little suspicious.

unknown 1:32:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:32:02

Um then uh what's her face that failed out of the academy? Because they used her during the festival. Aha.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:10

She trained, she's still training.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:11

She's in the academy.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:13

Yeah, there's you don't have to be a shinobi to use chakra.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:15

Yeah, because shinobi just means that you graduated from the academy.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:21

Okay. This is happening very quickly. There's no way I can. You guys cannot. Yeah, the cart is kind of in this area.

unknown 1:32:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:28

The cart begins to ignite and low.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:31

Wait, can we still do something?

SPEAKER_07 1:32:33

What do you want to do?

SPEAKER_02 1:32:34

I want to go grab the cart.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:35

Not much that you can do. What?

SPEAKER_02 1:32:37

I wanna go grab grab the cart and start running with it that way. Running what way? Away from everybody.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:44

Down, back, this way. The cart is in the upper middle towards the front. You're gonna wait.

SPEAKER_11 1:32:48

Okay, that way. That way that way.

unknown 1:32:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 1:32:51

Give it a big open.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:53

A dexterity check. See if you can get there in time, and then a strength.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:56

Okay, I get a plus one to my dexterity. This is looking at the hour instead.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:00

It was for three hours, but the next day has passed. Oh, this is going to be very hard to do.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:09

Dexterity check. Um the cart is very quickly caught on fire. I don't know what you think you're gonna do. You may get caught in the blast by the time you're gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:19

No, but there's some new people around. I'm just trying to get the explosion further away from people.

SPEAKER_11 1:33:23

Is there any way that I can subtly do either of my whirlwinds? Is there any way to do it subtly?

SPEAKER_07 1:33:29

Uh yeah, with his with a stealth check, but there's there's a lot of chaos and commotion. Maybe someone might miss it, but I mean they might see a like team of people swooping in action.

SPEAKER_11 1:33:39

If Sekima, Kaise, and Haraya just miraculously stand around me while I do something to like make the gust. Let's do it. Can I do that?

SPEAKER_02 1:33:48

So we're surrounding Percy.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:52

What happens? Oh, well. Um But Sekuma sees your initial thought to run and to grab it. And Sekuma is faster than all of you.

SPEAKER_11 1:34:07

Alright.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:08

She books forward.

SPEAKER_11 1:34:10

She goes, I'm the hero of the story.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:11

She grabs it. You guys always say she never does anything. She runs forward and grabs. I mean she did just say don't do it. And she tries to pull it forward. Um, second. Okay. She's very quick. She gets it pretty fast, and she starts pulling and pulling. Um, and she gets it towards out towards at least the front of it, but things are already starting to pew, pew like little fireworks, and then there is a pretty big explosion. Now, Sekima's in the front of the cart, so you guys don't exactly see what happens here. But shrapnel and debris start flying everywhere, and a piece of flying debris starts flying towards the young boy who sells the masks. Now, very quickly, almost too quickly, you see the old man dive in front of the flying debris and get hit, and he just tanks it. He doesn't even fall over, and there is a poop.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:04

A poop. He was a clone? A poof.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:09

Standing there now, where the old man was, you guys would recognize from the bingo book is Kojimara. You see as the cloud disperse, this taller man wielding a Kursurigama, chained hand sides, wearing leather, green leather with like yellow accents, and these little chimes from his large uh wide-brimmed hat. He's got the mist village headband uh that's tied into the hat with a scratch across it. And he's got these very deep yellow eyes.

SPEAKER_08 1:35:43

How much was he worth again?

SPEAKER_11 1:35:45

7,000. Yeah, 7,000.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:50

A lot of this is happening very fast. I'm sorry, I'm trying, I'm not trying to I want to make sure you guys get to do things. But this whole thing happens. Everyone's kind of in shock.

SPEAKER_11 1:35:58

And you were wondering why I was covering my mouth.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:02

And you just hear, God damn it. Boy. And he just gives a little shake. Then you guys do see a pretty roughened up Sekima curve around from the edge of the cart and lock eyes with Kojimara. She stares deeply and goes, first. And Kojimara goes, ah shit. And then he bites his thumb, starts doing hand signs, and you hear from Sekima, second. Kojimara puts a hand down and goes summoning jutsu. There's another huge hoof. As standing in front, or in between Kojimara and Sekima is a large, two-headed, yellow and black scaled alligator. It has two heads and two tails. It is huge. It's the size of one of these cards easily. It's the banana gator! Not quite, but yeah. It is a huge two-headed alligator. And it is summoned. But your Sekima finish. Third gate. Open. And this yellow aura flashes around Sekima, her veins start twitching, and her skin almost looks a little bit more tinge of red. And she dashes at Kojimara, and before Kojimara can do any more actions, you almost hear what sounds like a cannonball strike. As Kojimara goes flying into the woods, Sekima high entailed, moving faster than you've ever seen her move. Kurokite also notices and starts heading in that direction.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:38

Two-headed crocodile! Also, is the cart still exploding like fireworks?

SPEAKER_07 1:37:43

Uh, that was the big explosion. You know that debris flew around. There are a few injured people now.

SPEAKER_08 1:37:49

You know, the only people really around are the people getting their butts kicked. And then the one old lady.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:58

The situation is now. Kojimara, Korokite, and Sekuma have all gone deep into the forest, like fighting and chasing. You guys are left there. Team 4 is trying to fight some of the remnants of the Hands of the Sea Union along with this huge crocodile that has appeared. And the croc spins its way around back towards the middle of the pack. And one of the heads looks up and goes, Is that Gujimara? What's going on? Another croc snaps back at him, like, leave it! Come on, let's do something about this. And you guys see the two heads. Well, actually, let's roll for initiative. Um I'm guessing you guys are probably gonna do something about this now.

SPEAKER_11 1:38:47

What? No, we're gonna walk away. Like I'm hungry.

SPEAKER_08 1:38:52

I'm gonna follow Sakumo Sensei.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:57

We're gonna leave off for now.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:00

So yeah, we are going to end there. Should we roll? Sure, we're gonna do initiative.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:06

Not 18. Oh, and we didn't even add initiative, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:39:13

Plus two.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:15

I got so I got a total twenty-two. You got a total twenty-two. Wow. I don't know. There's worse things to get a five on.

SPEAKER_11 1:39:27

I've been rolling low this whole session. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:30

But that is where we went for today. A few minutes earlier, a gathering of members of the Hands of the Sea Union are posted in the forest, mere feet away from the path to the Leaf Village. One of them, large and muscular, approaches the other stiffly, with a small crate in hand. Focus up, they'll be here any minute. The other members quickly snap to attention. The large man begins to withdraw several glass bottles from the crate, each of them bearing the logo of Kitty Waveworks and Brewery. The summer sun glints off of the glass, not too dissimilar to the large man's bald head. Remember, avoid casualties. Our goal is the destruction of goods. Times are hard, and we have to show that things will only get more difficult if the current Mizukage doesn't provide what was promised to us by Lord Forth. One of the other members, much younger, and whose red camo apron isn't marked with the dirt of decades of craftsmanship, looks to the larger man. I apologize, sir, but I don't think this is the time for drinks. If any minute the caravan before he could finish his sentence, he is hit with a white cloth to the face. It's not for drinking. Take the cloth, soak it, light it, and throw it at the wooden carts. Oh, right. Sorry, I've never done this before. A third member then speaks up. Usually these groups have a team of shinobi with them. What's the plan if they jump into action? The large man grins. I'm not worried about a team of Genine. They'll be too focused on damage control and protecting lives to pursue our retreat into the forest. If you say so. Look alive. The caravan's approaching.
