Drip... Drip... Bumu seemed rather surprised by their new location. No way out as far as the fox could tell. Except for, the water outside. The dripping water, a salty smell. Something was very wrong. Looking up, that leak started to spring, trailing water down upon them. Not too big, and defiantly not at the point where it couldn't be stopped yet. The fox began to form handseals, leaning forward, and spraying a thick sticky spray of oil. Toad Oil sprayed onto the walls, sticking tightly against the stone. Trailing up to the crack, sealing it tightly at least for a short bit. 

[color=9e0b0f]"Okay, we've got a water issue."[/color] Bumu said, sure they'd only have a minute or so before the oil became useless once more. Just one or two extra minutes to plan. [color=9e0b0f]"We're trapped, by water. On all sides."[/color] Another twitch. [color=9e0b0f]"It's pretty obvious this is a bad situation, so we need to start figuring out a way to breath when this stuff rushes in."[/color] Bumu added, seeing a little spray squirt out from the sticky oil. [color=9e0b0f]"I can blow the room, but that's just gonna let all the water in at once."[/color] This whole mess made her unhappy, and he wanted out now. Small places didn't help her attitude. A splurt of water broke through, landing on his head. She hated this. Like hate hate. A seething hate.

[color=ed1c24]"Ah, the rain village, of course."[/color] He smiled, softly at that. Wasn't that just a bunch of muddy huts and sad folk? Then again, what could he say? That was 20 years ago and a lot can change since then. Like coming back from the dead, or finding out TV was a thing. That was what really impressed him about the time jump. But even if the village of rain hadn't changed, there was a grace the village leader held. Almost as if she was a goddess in her own right. If he was still in the market for a wife, he'd have proposed then and there. Right now though some things came first.

[color=ed1c24]"Well, I'll have to send you a bundle sometime. You'll love it."[/color] Jaakuna said softly. [color=ed1c24]"After all, in the right conditions, even strawberries can grow in the rain. Helps if you remember just how good they can be."[/color] He laughed softly, as if he'd just spouted wisdom but his words meant little. But that moment ended quickly...

Some things are obvious, even to Jaakuna. He didn't need to sense the Hokage. After all, old friends like them? That's a whole new kind of sixth sense. But, he didn't say a thing. Instead, he sat there, rather relaxed, a little hunch to his back. The door opened, and he looked up just to see him again. Those eyes met, his grey eyes sparkled, and a smirk forced itself along his lips. Ginsho hadn't changed. Well, not much. Still pretty, still handsome. The lack of an arm didn't do a thing to take away from the man that stood before him. Wisdom from age was a good word to use. And yet, Jaakuna couldn't help but feel a ting of sorrow. How cruel for the world to age him. The Fox Sage felt for a moment that this was what death was really like. Not a glorious battle, but dying slowly and the world could see it. 

He began to move, almost by reflex. He stood, a hand reaching out... Then he stopped. No, he couldn't help. He shouldn't help. Be silent... Be weary. He wasn't here to give out hugs and remember the good old days. No... He hated to admit it, but those days where over. From here on, it was war and hell all over again. Still, he bowed, a faithful merchant after all. [color=ed1c24]"Lord Hokage. Thank you for stopping by."[/color] He whispered softly, only just enough for Ginsho to catch his words. Sitting back down, he turned his attention to the arena, and it's many cameras.

[color=ed1c24]"The world expands ever so much. And yet the past is hard to get rid of."[/color] Jaakuna whispered softly as he watched, making the occasional comment to the two village leaders. Yin-Yang looked rather interesting. A lovely challenge if any. His eyes drifted to one girl, who seemed familiar. He swore he'd seen her before. A mission? Maybe? [color=ed1c24]"Cute kid."[/color] He said, head in his hand, turning his attention to lightning. Well, that one looked fun. [color=ed1c24]"Recycling old exams, eh?"[/color] He grinned from ear to ear. [color=ed1c24]"Didn't you do something similiar back when you where taking the exams, eh Hokage-sama? I never saw the challenge myself, but I heard rumors."[/color]

Then he looked at the water challenge. [color=ed1c24]"Hey, who's that kid?"[/color] He said, pointing at the screen, focusing on a foxy looking kid. [color=ed1c24]"What's she... He? I can't tell... But that's my family crest!"[/color] He said, pointing again at the screen, to the symbols etched into that coat the kid wore. The Aka family crest was easily recognizable. Well, to him it was.
