Back at the village, Lady Tsunade ordered an evacuation into the shelters under the stone faces, while the intruders wandered around.
"Hiei's hot headedness has once again scared the residents to death. Way to go shrimp!" said Kuwabara.
"They attacked me, I simply reacted, not that a weakling like you would understand." said Hiei.
"Please, we shouldn't fight. We'll just scare the denison's of this village further." said Kurama. "Ah, here's their leader's office." He opened the door.
"It's the intruders! Get 'em!" yelled a squad of ninja.
"Leave it to Hiei to make an entire village scared outta their wits." said Yusuke.
"Wait, please! We're here to talk, not fight. Please, hear us out." pleaded Kurama.
"Very well," said Lady Tsunade. "I'll listen."
"Um, may we sit?" asked Kurama.
"Be my guest." said Lady Tsunade.
"Thank you. First of all, I'd like to apologize for my friend's rudeness and for destroying part of your village. He can be quite hot headed. We gladly help rebuild or anything else you ask of us to make amends." said Kurama.
"Oh believe me, I'll be putting you to work. But first, why did you come to my village?" asked Lady Tsunade.
"Well, we're a bit lost. We came to ask directions. When we entered the village, we were attacked by your military force. By the way, they're unusually powerful for such a small village. What kind of martial arts is it?" asked Kurama.
"This is a ninja village. We've all had special training. Anything else?" asked Lady Tsunade.
"Actually yes. Also upon entering your village, a friend of ours-" Kurama was interrupted by Yusuke, who jumped onto the desk and picked up Lady Tsunade by the collar.
"I want my fiance back. Give Keiko back or I'll snap your neck like a twig!" yelled Yusuke.
"Yusuke! Stop! We're guests here. Making demands coupled with threats is completely uncalled for. Once again miss, I apologize for my friend's rudeness. He just wants his fiance back. He's very protective of her." said Kurama.
"It's fine. A friend of mine told me that if you 4 came to talk, that I should hear you out. As for your fiance, I'm afraid we don't have any prisoners by the name of Keiko. If you had a picture, I'm sure we can help track her down. In the meantime, I have an interesting little ninja out on a journey who needs training. She already has had a few sensei's but needs to be taught further. Do any of you volunteer?" said Lady Tsunade.
"The four of us shall teach her. What does she need to learn?" asked Kurama.
"From the reports I've recieved, she has grown quite strong but lacks a few things; speed, stamina, strategic thinking and seems to be sloppy with her katana. You will find her in the Land of Rivers to the SW. Here's a map." said Lady Tsunade. She gave them a map and sent them out.
