Mabushii Tavern

Surp gradually exits out of one ofthe three bedrooms and makes his way down the steps and to the bar where he sits and waves for the tender to get him his usual morning cup of sake.

Taking his sake into his hands, Surp slowly puts the cup to his lips and sips.

Asako sighed when she saw the tavern of Mashubii.
"And here's supposed to live one of the most powerfull ninjas of the world?" she asked herself, raising an eyebrow. "Strange palace for such a great person...Mah, I guess everyone has it's own peferences."
She yawned and prayed Kami that they had at least some tea and a good bed for her somewhere in the village.

With a lazy move, she opened the door of the tavern and glanced inside. The first person she noticed in particular was a red haired man at a table, drinking some sake. He had a powerful chakra signature. More powerful than hers at least. First impression of Asako of the man? Not impressed at all. Like she was with anyone. She was too lazy to really care about having an opinion about anyone.
"Ohayo..." was her lazy greeting. "I'd like to know where I can find some sannin who lives around here. Can someone help me, cuz I don't feel like searching and I need him to train me."
And on those words, she waited at the door opening, her hands stuffed in her pockets...

Surp stopped the second he heard a single sweet voice fill the room. He gently sets down his sake and turns to look at who possessed such a sweet voice. As he turned, his sword stayed ready at his side. He didn't want to scare the woman off, but he wasn't in the mood to be taken by surprise.

But when he turned and saw her in the doorway, his jaw just dropped. His eyes instantly evaluate the new body put before him. He realizes that her red kimono could be used to conceal do to its long sleeves and her pouch on her hip. He then looks upward taking in the size and shape of her body. Certainly, petit, but she had an aura of strength to her.

He then ended on her face, her sweet angelicly round face. So pale, most people would only think her fragile and frail. And her black hair, even though it was in two neat buns, added a certain beauty to her in the rising suns light. Who was this girl he thought.

But he soon regained his posture as he closed his mouth after what would seem like a long time and stood up straight. He then looked her straight into the eyes, his deep gold eyes locking on her deep green eyes. This enlockment really revealed his true hidden power. It was almost a sufficating presense.

"Not to be rude, but who's asking and why do you need trained?"

The young girl stared back in the eyes of the young man. His eyes were beautiful, she had to admit it. In fact, he wasn't bad looking at all...

But, not wanting to get distracted from her mission, she raised her voice a little up and answered with pride:
"Asako Tsuno, sir." she answered, bowing slightly. "And I don't feel like telling a random stronger person than me, more."
The young girl yawned.
"I'm feeling too lazy and tired to repeat myself twice...Can you tell me where the Sannin is? Because, that way, I can ask him to train me. If he's okay with it, I'll go to sleep right after that, if he isn't, I'll sleep too, but will be ready to leave next morning."
She chuckled lightly.
"And if you're gonna try to seduce me, you're knocking at the wrong door, Handsome."
The jade eyed young girl kept looking the man back in the eyes. She knew he was the Sannin, or at least felt it. But she wanted to hear it from his own mouth...

Smiling, Surp let out a light laugh his face coming alive with his joy. He then bowed to her in return and taking one quick look at her again, he motions to the seat next to him after standing up straight. "I might've said the same, but I'd be afraid you'd listen and not try." Laughing slightly again, he waits to see if she'll take his offer.

"If you wish to rest, you're welcome too. But this place isn't the most comfortable inn. I advise having a glass of tea or sake before heading into the rough beds. That is, if you don't mind being next to an awe struck boy that'll stare endlessly at his new catch."

He scratches the back of his head closing his eyes as he smiled at his last comment. He couldn't help himself, something about this girl seemed relaxed. He would never dream of saying these things to half the women who came through here. He just hoped he wouldn't scare her off before he at least got to know her.

Asako blinked. Twice in fact. For two reasons.
First, that young person in front of her, was the Sannin.
Second...he was flirting with her. Which no one ever did with her in Suna. Maybe because of her family relationship with the Kage.
Grinning, the young kuoichi took the seat next to the shinobi and ordered some jasmine tea.

She gave him a quick glance again and just relaxed on her chair, her hands behind her head.
"Asako Tsuno, call me Asa. I'm from Suna and I'm the sister of the Kazekage and head medic of the village. I came here from my own free will and I need training because I'm useless as ninja in my village." was her short and direct answer.
She yawned again while her tea was put in front of her. She thanked the old man with a polite smile and sipped some of it.
"So, you're the Sannin...And you would be okay to train me than?"

As she sat next to him, he couldn't help but keep smiling. He turned some, in his chair, and watched her as she sipped some of her tea. He then raised his glass and spoke clearly. "Cheers." He finished what little was left of his sake and set the cup down on the counter top.

He then looked her in the eyes again, but this time, his eyes were gentler as if had willfully forced his power deeper. "Would you be disappointed if I assured you, I am the Sannin." His smile faded for a moment as if he didn't want her to say yes to that. But he went back to smiling as he continued to speak.

"How rude of me. My name is Surpentheon Fanglord. Grand Sannin and all around ninja of the all trades." He bowed his head slightly and went on talking. "Now, I got that your a medic and sister to Yakate of Suna. But in all my experience, I've never once seen nor heard of a useless ninja." He reaches over the table and pulls a herb from a bowl on the counter.

He spins the herb inbetween his fingers and stares at it closely. "Like every leaf sprouted from this plant, every ninja holds its own unique pattern and shape." At the word shape, his eyes travel to her petit body. "Ehm..." He cleared his throat and forced himself to continue. "Though its patterns are different and its shape may not match the others, it is still essential to the plant as it helps make it what it is."

He then clasps the plant tightly in his hand then opens it to reveal an open cherry blossom. "And sometimes, without that one rare flower, the one of unrivaled beauty and size. The true picture would never be seen and all the world would miss out on its final, true beaty." And as he spoke, the blossom closed and gradually grew in his very hand. It grew into a minature blossomed cherry tree.

He looked proudly on his interactive speech display and then moved the tree from out of his view of Asako. He smiled and decided it was best to quit talking before he said too much and ruined the moment. He didn't know why, but he felt like she was supposed to be here right now. So, he just smiled and waited for what he said to sink in and waited longer for her reply.

Asako drank the last of her tea, put the cup back on the table and sighed.
The young man surprised her in his ways of talking and acting. She knew she was in front of some great personality of hte shinobi world...But felt like talking to some of her old friends.
"Surpentheon-san..." she began slowly. "I kinda agree with all you just said, but I'm still unable to fight. That's why I'm here. If I could fight, I would have been still home, trying to help my brother and other shinobis."

The girl ordered some more tea and sake and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
“I'm looking for the best ninja as sensei. Since you're a ninjutsu user and a Sannin, I don't think I can get any better...Will you help me please? I need to know."
And on those words, she looked up again at the young Sannin, her eyes full of hope.

"How could I say no?" He nodded at her to assure her of his answer. "But that will begin tomorrow. For now, drink up and then get some rest." He looked at the bartender and he brought over a key to one of the upstairs badrooms and set it infront of her. "Also,..." Surp said as he got closer to her ear. "If your hungry, ask for soup. The fish will likely kill you."

Smiling still, he stands and pushes in his chair. "When you're rested, come seek me. I'll be do North of here. Till then..." He bowed to Asa, his body becoming almost parallel with the floor. "I bid you a good rest."

After hours of travalign Tsumi stood infront of the Mabushii tavern. "The mabushii Tavern....the home to outlaws....ive been told he has been stayign here latly so i must go in....but i wonder how the outlaws will welcome the hokage..." he said talking to noone but himself as he walked through the tavern doors. "Im looking for the sannin named Surpentheon." he anounced simply

Asako smiled a little, yawned and stood up. She was now offically the Sannin's student. And for once, she was happy to go train very soon.
"But first I need some sleep. It has been too long before I since I closed my eyes last time..."
She took the key from the table and went upstairs, where some hard bed was waiting for her. But who cared? When you are lazy and sleepy, you don't really care where you sleep, right?


The next morning, the first thing Asako did, was taking a shower, eat a healthy breakfast, bought her lunch from the old man. When she was done with that, and was about to leave, a man came in, asking for her sensei. Wisely, she kept her mouth shut and after a short greeting, she passed him and ran to the north, looking for the man who would taught her many things...

The outlaws who were sitting in their chairs turned and glared madly at the intruder. They didn't take kindly to loud people and the fact he was of noblilty in the Leaf didn't make their stares any less harsh. Surp was already out and waiting where he told Asa to meet him. But it wasn't long before the entire tavern was standing and ready to strike at the new arrival. Even if they knew the Sannin, I don't think they had any intention of telling a Kage.

Tsumi smiled a little. "Not to kind to your guests are you?" he asked all the outlaws. as his hand moved slowly to the sword on his back just incase

"Hey!!" The bartender yelled over the crowd. "I warn you now! The first person to break something in here will pay for it with his life!!! But if you wish to fight, you will take it outside!!!" The men in the tavern looked at the old man and then back at the Kage. What would the Kage do...

Tsumi sighed. "I didnt come to fight, but i will if i have to. but the bartender is right if you wish to fight lets take it ouside. However i would prefer it if you just told me where the sannin was." He said simply, lowering his hand from his sword.

The bandits and roughians didn't wish to leave their food and drinks and they also didn't wish to upset the old man. He seems to have done much for the people here in the past. So they grunt and sit back down, going back to the meal. They didn't say another word to the Kage. But the Old Man vroke their silence.

"I don't know exactly where he is, but he headed North several hours ago. I wish you luck on your search." He says as he goes about wiping down the counter. He didn't seem to mind Tsumi. Maybe it was because he didn't know who he was. Then again, he gave the air around him, the sense that he really wouldn't mind even if he did.

Tsumi nodded at the old man. "Thank you." he said simply before walkign out the door and began heading north.

The old man just nods in reply and continues on with his work.

Youji arrived in front of the tavern. He saw tsumi exiting and just said a little hi to him then walked in the tavern. He was limping because of the burned stomach he had from onden. After he entered he tried to make a bow to the man that was there and said "Hi. Are you the sannin that lives here?"

The Old Man looks up with a sigh at the next person who walked in after Tsumi. "No. And I wouldn't want to be either. Day in and day out, people asking for the Sannin. Always coming in and stirring up my PAYING customers. They don't bye nothing. They just come in ask then leave North to find the Grand Sannin who stays here every now and then." Turns around and pours a glass of sake and then hands it to a man waiting at the counter. "Damn ninjas. Always looking and never satisfied."

Youji thinks if he should take the sake or not. He tooked the sake and drinked it. Then he felt a pain in his stomach."Well thanks for this.....Now i should go.......I will come some more here so we can talk" Youji then gets up and leaves the tavern"See you later"Youji then exits and heads towards Sand

Muon Ai stumbled in the tavern and plopped down on a chair at a table.
She was exhausted, hungry and thirsty. She waved at the old man and made sign that she was hungry.
The old man nodded and began to prepare her some soup and water.
