The memories of his time in the land of fire were coming back as Kai approached the border to the land of fire. He could feel the adrenaline pumping through his system as he jumped from tree to tree all the while while keeping a close eye out for any konoha shinobi. So far he hadn't run into any.

So far so good.

[i]Something about this isn't right.[/i] The Eight-tails told him. [i]There should be patrols or traps or at least a few shinobi along the border. You were a member of Konoha. You know that we should have run into something or someone by now based on their former actions.[/i]

[i]You're right...Kai thought as he stopped for a moment and began to check his surroundings. Is it possible we're being watched.[/i]
