Tashi's commander moved to admonish Jun for speaking so bluntly to their Lord, but the Daimyo ignored it and said, "The only thing our wretched village has to offer- knowledge."<br/><br/>Maki appeared particularly tense at that moment, while the old shinobi continued to speak, "<em>Forbidden</em>knowledge- the Tomb of the Bansentennin. You were there, years ago. There's only a handful of people in the village that I can trust with even the existence of that clan- and even fewer among you that I can spare to leave the village."<br/><br/>The older man nodded to one of his guards, who quickly retrieved a large scroll, bearing his seal- a signature of the Daimyo and representation of his authority.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The two girls in the Konoha hot springs had a little time to relax before they were joined by another. A young woman, about their age.. maybe a few years older, with long blonde hair untied down to her shoulders. Her bangs framed her brown honeyed eyes as she walked towards the pair of Kunoichi. She was wrapped in a towel around her midsection and had a very... full figure. Mari had known her... the<em>princess</em>, one Hokage's granddaughter and another's pupil. She slipped free from her towel, revealing the young medic-nin's famous breasts for just a moment before she descended into the water to join them with a sigh.<br/><br/>"Nothing like a nice bath to start the day." The kunoichi said with a blush on her cheeks. It wasn't from embarrassment... but more likely she started the day off with some sake, perhaps to nurse the hangover she no doubt had gotten from<em>last night</em>.
