Arc 2: Chapter 3
Tie breaker, which was Ask Jiao what she wants to do.
---
"So Jiao, what do you want to do?" you asked, turning your attention to her.
"Let's find a place to rest and wash up. I have enough brine on my skin that I'll turn into jerky!" Jiao complained, shoving her hand in your face, trying to show off said brine.
"Sounds good! Plus, having a hideout would be helpful!" you replied. "By the way Jiao, no flying. We don't wanna stand out."
"I already know that, you worm! Plus, these peasants haven't earned the honor of witnessing such a blessing!" Jiao boasted before walking away from you and further into the harbor. You shrugged and followed Jiao, dodging many sailors and and others who were busily working or carrying things around the harbor. Eventually you and Jiao made it through the human labyrinth into a town.
Compared to the rather drab color and materials of the Mist, the Whirlpool had much more color and life to their buildings, plant life being much more common, and people wearing more light clothing as they didn't need to protect themselves from the heavy fog the Mist was famous for. You and Jiao stayed on the lookout for any inn, preferably a cheap one as you didn't bring much money. Your stomach growled as you smelled the food coming from multiple stalls and restaurants as you walked by. In fact, you were paying more attention to the sights and sounds of the Whirlpool that you didn't notice someone was walking right towards you, equally as distracted with something. You collided with the person, both of you being knocked down!
"Oh my god I am so sorry!" you quickly said, getting up to your feet and offering a hand to the person, who was a woman with long red hair and violet eyes.
"It's fine! It's fine!" the woman exclaimed, taking your hand with a grip much firmer and stronger than you expected. You helped pull the woman up and noticed she had extremely long bright red hair and war wearing a simple green dress that had a white collar that extended to the shoulders. "I was busy looking at my shopping list myself, y'know? Sorry!"
You did notice a slip of paper in the woman's hand as she awkwardly chuckled and scratched the back of her head with her free hand. She then took a good look at you and you could see her eyes shine with delight. "Oh my! You're adorable! You remind me of Rin when she was younger! Oh, excuse me, I should introduce myself! I'm Kushina Uzumaki!"
"Hi! I'm Maya Terumi and my friend here is Jiao!" you replied, grabbed Jiao and pulling her into the conversation.
"Terumi? Isn't that a Mist clan?" Kushina suddenly asked, rubbing her chin in thought.
"Y-Yeah, but um...me and Jiao recently left the Mist Empire. We were hoping to find a better life here..." you said, adding a sad tone to your words.
"...I see. I'll help you out, y'know!" Kushina exclaimed with large and bright smile.
"Why would we believe that?" Jiao suddenly interjected, a look of disbelief on her face. "We are two refugees, you could be taking us to some criminal organization to sell us off for all we know."
"What?! I'd never!" Kushina shouted, gritting her teeth as her face slowly became red. "I just wanna help, trust me, I would never do such a thing, y'know! I swear on my honor as a Leaf kunoichi!"
"I'm sorry Kushina. I saved Jiao from...a bad situation. Please don't get mad!" you explained, shooting Jiao an annoyed look. Jiao merely rolled her eyes but took a step back.
"Ah...man...I'm sorry Jiao." Kushina quickly said, sounding remorseful. "My husband always says I'm a bit of a hothead..."
"It's fine, it's fine! So you'll help us? What do you mean?" you asked, trying to steer the conversation back to a more lighthearted direction.
"Do you girls have any place to stay here?" Kushina inquired, crossing her arms.
"We just got here, so no." Jiao bluntly replied, her tone of voice making it clear she didn't trust Kushina.
"Well you can stay at my place! I'm actually a really big deal in the Whirlpool, y'know? So my house here as enough room for the both of you. Plus I couldn't bring my son this time around so I would enjoy the company!" Kushina explained, nodding her head throughout. "Plus, I'd feel better if some homeless young women weren't hounded by some thugs, y'know?"
"Does your home have a proper place to bathe and rest?" Jiao suddenly asked, stepping forward.
"Of course! I made sure to get some extra deep tubs for long soaking sessions!" Kushina excitedly answered.
"Maya I demand that we accept her offer at once!" Jiao firmly stated.
"Well..."
What will you do?
[] Accept Kushina's offer. She seems nice and if anything gets weird you can Jiao can get outta there!
[] Decline Kushina's offer. It's very nice of her, but if she is, in her own words, "a big deal" then it could cause complications with your mission.
[] Actually, you have some questions for Kushina before you answer. (Write In)

Arc 2: Chapter 4
Winning Vote: Accept Kushina's offer. She seems nice and if anything gets weird you and Jiao can get outta there!
I guess I'll..." you said, making sure to draw out your words. Mostly to needle Jiao, who looked very annoyed at the moment. "Accept! It would much appreciated, Kushina!"
"Good! C'mon, let's get you girls a bath!" Kushina happily said with an infectiously cheerful grin. She turned around and began walking down the street. You and Jiao actually had to jog a bit to catch up and keep pace with her. "So, if you don't mind me prying, what's your story? I mean, I know you told me the basics but I'd like to see the full picture, y'know?"
Jiao looked at you, clearly giving you a sign to lie your ass off. You ran a few scenarios in your head before starting to speak, "Well, I might be a Terumi, but I was never part of the clan. My mom left and met my dad on an island. Life was good and simple. But then...some shinobi attacked our island, everyone but my older sister was killed."
"Oh my god, that's awful..." Kushina gasped.
"Y-Yeah..." you shakily said, remembering the corpses and burnt buildings. There was a dark urge to specifically point out it was Leaf ninja who did this to Kushina's face, but you repressed it. No reason to antagonize someone helping you. "After that, my sister scraped together some money and managed to send me to the main island of the Mist. It was around that time during a job I found Jiao. She's from the eastern land and was kidnapped by criminals. I had a job as a waitress and they showed up at the restaurant I was working at. Jiao was...clearly in distress, and after some tampering with their orders, I managed to escape with her. We couldn't dare stay in the Mist after that and..."
"You ended up here. You poor dears..." Kushina gently said. "Well look, I'll take care of you girls until you can get on your feet! How does that sound?"
"Hm...I suppose this is acceptable." Jiao muttered. You weren't quite sure if it was towards Kushina, or if it was towards your story.
"Now it's your turn to spill the beans! You're a Leaf ninja, but in the Whirlpool? What's up with that?" you asked, feigning ignorance on the fact that the Whirlpool and Lead were allied.
"Ah, well the Whirlpool and the Leaf have always been very intertwined. While I was born here, I eventually went over to the Leaf and was trained as a shinobi, kinda like an exchange program. But one night, I was kidnapped by some people, I still don't know who they were. Maybe another Empire wanting to power of the Uzumaki sealing jutsu, y'know?" Kushina started, now slowing down to a more normal walking speed. "But it was then that Minato saved me. He was so strong and brave...heh...well, no wonder I fell in love with him!"
"Who's Minato?" Jiao inquired bluntly.
"Oh, my husband. He's also the 4th Hokage of the Leaf Empire!" Kushina proudly declared.
"How lucky for me..." you muttered under your breath, quiet enough for nobody else to hear you.
"So we're in the presence of royalty then." Jiao said.
"I...guess? Never thought of it that way! Queen Kushina has a nice ring to it!" Kushina replied with a giddy laugh. "So anyways, another question. Are you two trained in combat at all?"
"I am a bit, I learned some jutsu here and there during my stay in the Mist." you smoothly replied, now turning your attention towards Jiao.
"I also know how to fight, I learned from...a family member back home." Jiao murmured, sounding unsure as she went on.
"Oh, that's good, y'know? I think everyone should at least know some self defense. Hey, that gives me an idea!" Kushina suddenly exclaimed, stopping and now facing both you and Jiao. "I always loved teaching, so how about I train you girls into proper shinobi!"
"I refuse." Jiao bluntly said, clearly taking the wind out of Kushina's sails.
"But why?" Kushina flippantly asked, sounding annoyed.
"My skills come from the eastern land. I doubt your...shinobi arts would even work for me." Jiao explained. "Also, I absolutely despise training and I have no wish to go to bed with aching bones and bruised skin."
"I guess your first point makes sense, but the second one is silly! But I can't force you if you don't wanna. So how about you, Maya? You wanna get stronger and tougher than ever?!" Kushina asked once more, now focusing entirely on you.
"Getting trained by someone would be helpful, but...argh! She's the wife of a Hokage! A Hokage who might have signed off on the order to raze my home! But...no. Think rationally Maya. I need all the help I can get, even if it's from the Leaf. Plus...I can't keep holding onto my hatred for the Leaf if I truly want a world without war..."
"Maya, you okay? You got a real serious look on your face, y'know?" Kushina asked, sounding rather worried.
"I'm fine, I was just...thinking." you sighed, running a hand through your hair.
Well, what is your choice?
[] Accept Kushina's offer. You need to get stronger, you can't keep relying on the Rinnegan pumping out new powers forever. Plus, you're probably being irrational about the Hokage thing anyway.
[] Decline Kushina's offer. It's tempting, but you cannot trust yourself to keep your dark feelings about the Leaf in check at the moment.
[] Tell Kushina you need time to think on it. Things feel rather hazy for you right now...
[] Write In.

"Sure, I'll take all the help I can get!" you answered after considering your choices. Any grudges you hold would only complicate things right now, especially since Kushina didn't even do anything.
"Awesome! We'll start tomorrow, bright and early!" Kushina exclaimed, pumping her fist into the air. "Jiao, I know you gave you answer, but you can join in anytime if you change your mind!"
"I won't." Jiao replied sharply.
"Don't mind her, I'm excited Kushina-sensei!" you said with a large grin. Kushina's cheery personality was certainly infectious!
"Good! Alright, so we'll reach my house soon, then I'll go back out for dinner supplies. So let's get a move on, y'know!" Kushina declared with a raised fist, now returning to a faster pace. You and Jiao couldn't say anything before Kushina raced ahead, forcing the two of you to almost run to not lose sight of her! After a swift, if brutal jog, you reached the neighborhood that Kushina's house was in. It looked to be in a rather well-to-do part of the island, as the houses in the area all appeared rather lavish, being adorned with symbols of the Leaf and Whirlpool, or some symbols that you didn't know the meaning of.
"So I recognize the Leaf and Whirlpool symbols, but what are the rest?" you asked Kushina, who finally slowed her pace upon entering the neighborhood.
"Oh, those are the clans of the Whirlpool, we put the symbol of our village and the clan symbol depending who live there. It's basically a sign of status around here, I don't care for it but what can ya do?" Kushina explained. She pointed at one house, which had the symbol of the Whirlpool, a swirling pattern and another symbol which had a circle, but lines were going through it until they all met in the middle. "That belongs to an Uragiri Clan member. The symbol on the house to the far right, that weird shape on the door there, that's the Kikagaku Clan. Finally, see that symbol across the street on that house? Fuuma clan!"
You followed Kushina's finger to the houses she was talking about, the Kikagaku clan symbol looking like a large triangle with a circle inside, with a diamond shape in the circle and the Fuuma clan having a stylized Fuuma shuriken as its symbol. You kept note of the clan names and symbols, as no it's doubt vital information you'll need for later. Soon enough you reached Kushina's house, a nice looking two story house with the Leaf and Whirlpool symbols engraved on the door. Below them was an odd black marking.
"We're here! Gimme a sec..." Kushina said, walking to the door and making a hand seal. The black marking on the door suddenly vanished and she opened the door, inviting you and Jiao in! Jiao (who was sweating and muttering under her breath for the past ten minutes or so) immediately ran in, leaving Kushina shocked.
"Sorry about that! She's probably ready to take a long bath." you sheepishly said.
"Nah, I get it. I hope she calms down after getting clean and getting some grub in her!" Kushina optimistically replied.
"She won't. Trust me." you bluntly sighed, suddenly sounding very tired.
"Okay...well! Make yourselves at home! I'll be back soon!" Kushina said with a smile, now walking down the street once more.
You were tempted to go inside and rest for awhile, but this could be a great opportunity to get to know Kushina better! Or you can poke around, maybe learn some new information. It is what Byakuren sent you here for anyway!
What will you do?
[] Go inside and rest. If you're gonna be training tomorrow, you want to be in tip top shape!
[] Go with Kushina to the store. Help her out and get to know her!
[] Go snooping around for information! Early bird gets the worm!

[X] Go snooping around for information! Early bird gets the worm!
Arc 2: Chapter 6
Winning Vote: Go snooping around for information! Early bird gets the worm!
With Jiao busying herself and Kushina doing her shopping, it was the perfect time to do some snooping! You scanned the neighborhood for a moment, wondering where to begin. The answer soon appeared before your eyes, the house with the Uragiri Clan symbol etched on it opened up to reveal a woman with extremely long, wavy red hair that was tied into a loose ponytail, the hair tie keeping it all together looked as if it was struggling for its life! She wore a simple white shirt with a black jacket that was clearly designed for men hanging off her shoulders, a clasp connecting the jacket across her chest keeping it in place. She also had baggy black pants and a lit cigarette hanging from her mouth.
"Time to meet the neighbors!" you said to yourself, closing the door of Kushina's house and walking into the street. The woman caught sight of you and took a long drag from her cigarette, walking off the porch of her house and right towards you. As she got closer, you could smell an overwhelming amount of smoke, no doubt caused by her bad habits.
"Who're you?" she asked, her voice rough and raspy.
"I'm Maya! I'll be your new neighbor for the time being!" you replied with pep.
"The hell does that mean?" the woman snarled, her piercing orange eyes made it feel like she was stabbing into your own! In fact, she looked a lot like the man you met in the harbor...
"Well a friend and I are refugees and Kushina-sensei was very nice and took us in! It won't be a permanent thing, just until we can get back on our feet!" you answered, taking a small step back to avoid inhaling anymore cigarette smoke.
"...Yeah that checks out with Lady Kushina. Name's Makima Uragiri." the woman said after a moment of thought, now relaxing her posture. "Woman's got a bleedin' heart."
"Yeah, she's great! I'm glad to meet you as well!" you replied, extending your hand for a handshake. Makima rolled her eyes but returned the gesture. "By the way, you look like someone I met when I got here! He was tall and buff and had the same color eyes and hair as you! You know him?"
Makima's face suddenly turned deathly serious, grabbing you by the shoulders and leaning into your face, the smoke from her cigarette making your eyes water. "You saw Kotei? Did he do anything to you?"
"N-No! He just let my friend and I go after saying he was bored and stuff!" you honestly answered, coughing after inhaling some of the smoke. Makima sighed and backed away before inhaling the rest of her cigarette in one go. She released a large amount of smoke as she dropped the cigarette butt to the ground, stomping on it to put it out.
"You got lucky, kid. Kotei's fucked in the head. He's a monster, a true walking piece of shit. If he wasn't bored there's no doubt he would have done awful things to you and your friend." Makima bluntly, yet fiercely said, reaching into her pocket and pulling out another cigarette. She snapped her fingers and a small spark appeared, lightning the cigarette.
"O-Oh. Did he do something to you?" you cautiously asked. You wanted information, but this seemed to be a real sensitive subject for Makima.
Makima didn't answer for a long time, rage and pain clearly shining in her eyes. When she opened her mouth, she quietly said, "He ruined my family."
"I'm so sorry..." you sincerely replied, sympathizing with the pain she must be going through.
"You didn't do anything. Just...if you see Kotei make sure to stay out of his way. If he gets his eyes on you, scream for help. Also watch out for his girlfriend, Yukari." Makima warned.
"Who's Yukari?" you asked. "Is she as bad as Kotei is?"
"Depends. She's obsessed over him for some god forsaken reason. Yukari will do anything for Kotei. She's basically his underling, an attack dog. The perfect little plaything for him." Makima explained, taking another large drag from her cigarette.
"What does she look like?"
"She's an Uzumaki, so she has red hair, real long and thin also. Most notable thing is that she has tattoos covering every inch of her arms, all of them seals of some sort." Makima quickly said.
"Alright, thank you so much for telling me all this!" you gratefully said, bowing your head in respect.
"Least I can do. I try my best to keep Kotei from doing his bullshit as much as possible but..." Makima trailed off before shaking her head. "Anyway, I got a date and I'm gonna be late. I'll see ya around, Maya."
You nodded your head and waved goodbye to Makima as she walked away and down the road. Well, that was certainly enlightening, but probably not the information Byakuren would care for. You looked up and down the street, wondering what to do next.
What will you do?
[] Go back to Kushina's house. Don't wanna stay out for too long, plus you don't want Jiao freaking out!
[] Walk up and down the street, perhaps someone else will want to talk to you!
[] Find a good spot to sit down and people watch. Lots of information you can gather that way!
[] Write In.

Space/Time: Compression:
After creating the Gravity Sphere, the user increases the weight of anything that is underneath it. From there the user can manipulate the weight, from simply pinning down enemies to crushing them to death. Kotei is skilled enough with gravity jutsu that he does not need the Gravity Sphere, making it faster and more surprising.
Chakra Use: High.
Space/Time: Flight:
By precisely manipulating his own gravitational field, Kotei can achieve the power of flight. Flight gives Kotei much versatility for both combat and travel, allowing him to both travel great distances easily and to avoid attacks in a fight.
Chakra Use: Medium, but requires upkeep.
Space/Time: Gravity Sphere:
The base of most gravity jutsu, having been invented by the Uragiri Clan. The user creates an invisible sphere of chakra which then can manipulate gravity, which depends on the user's natural affinity. Due to the inherent difficulties of learning Space/Time jutsu, most users can only use one type of gravity jutsu. However, due to Kotei's prodigious talents, he can use all manner of gravity jutsu, with or without the Gravity Sphere.

Chakra Use: High.
Space/Time: Flight:
By precisely manipulating his own gravitational field, Kotei can achieve the power of flight. Flight gives Kotei much versatility for both combat and travel, allowing him to both travel great distances easily and to avoid attacks in a fight.
Chakra Use: Medium, but requires upkeep.
Space/Time: Gravity Sphere:
The base of most gravity jutsu, having been invented by the Uragiri Clan. The user creates an invisible sphere of chakra which then can manipulate gravity, which depends on the user's natural affinity. Due to the inherent difficulties of learning Space/Time jutsu, most users can only use one type of gravity jutsu. However, due to Kotei's prodigious talents, he can use all manner of gravity jutsu, with or without the Gravity Sphere.
Chakra Use: High, but requires upkeep.

Adamantine Sealing Chains:
This is a sealing technique that is characteristic of the Uzumaki clan. Users produce chains made out of their own chakra, which typically emerge from their torso. Users control the chains as they extend outwards from their body, most commonly to wrap around targets and restrain them. The chains are extremely durable, enough that even large summons would struggle against them. For particularly skilled users, in addition to physically binding targets, the chains are said to neutralize their target by binding and nullifying their chakra. Yukari's chains have been modified to be both burning hot and to have sharpened blades on the tip, increasing the jutsu's lethality.
Chakra Use: High
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation:
Considered one of the pinnacles of fire jutsu, chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire, and then expelled from the mouth and shaped into a literal sea of flames, which covers a wide range as well. This makes the technique extremely difficult to either avoid or contain, with it requiring the combined efforts of several Water Release users in order to extinguish the flames.

Arc 2: Chapter 7
Sorry for the delay, life and such.

Not wanting to look too suspicious, you walked back to Kushina's house and went through the open door, closing it behind you. As you walked in, you noticed the entryway had plenty of photos with Kushina and other people on the walls. You looked at some of them, one showing Kushina with her hair tied into a pony tail and wearing a green flak jacket sitting on the ground with a large smile, her arm around a man with spiky yellow hair and blue eyes, looking flustered but happy. Behind the two were a boy with a mask that covered half his face and a girl with two purple markings on her face.
You looked at another picture, this time showing Kushina in her usual dress holding a baby wrapped in a bundle of blankets. The baby had bright yellow hair and whisker-like markings on his face. The absolute joy and love shining through her face was notable even in picture form. Finally, the last picture to catch your eye was one of Kushina standing next to the same spiky haired man, but this time there was a boy with similarly spiky yellow hair and blue eyes, but most notably different was the whisker-like markings on his cheeks. They were all smiling so brightly. A happy and loving family.
"...I wonder if I had pictures of my family, would it hurt less when I think about them?" you thought to yourself, your heart growing heavy. Not wanting to enter a depression, you tore your eyes away from Kushina's family pictures and walking into the living room. It was rather large and furnished with cozy looking seats that surrounded a coffee table. Perfect for having tea and pleasant conversations. You felt you were sinking into the depths of the couch as you sat down, but thankfully it stopped before it got too uncomfortable.
After a time, everything seemed to catch up with you. The long boat ride, walking through the village, all the discussions...you yawned loudly and couldn't help but close your eyes. At a record pace, you fell asleep.
---
You awoke in a familiar void, though the subtle traces of golden light were now painted against the endless white sky. As expected, you saw Raksha in front of you, the massive four armed, three headed tiger man looking down on you.
"Greetings, my chosen." Raksha respectfully said.
"Hello. Did you find another effigy?" you asked, cutting to the point.
"Oh my, how blunt. Very well. Yes, I did. However, it's not on this island, it is on the coast of the continent to the west." Raksha explained.
"To the west? That's Leaf Empire territory. I don't really have a reason for going there now..." you replied thoughtfully.
"So you'd leave humanity to suffer the demonic scourge? Because the next location isn't relevant for your current needs? My, how selfish." Raksha calmly, yet very pointedly said, his eyes narrowing.
"I didn't say that, Raksha. I'm saying I have obligations before I can go-"
"Is this how my chosen does things? Ignores the greater good for their own personal ease? I thought you were better than this." Raksha replied, sounded like a very disappointed parent.
"Raksha, that's now how this world operates. If I just randomly went to the Leaf Empire to break effigies without Byakuren knowing, I could have an entire Empire hunting me. That no doubt would mean death! If I died, then your goals will forever be out of reach." you seriously and fearlessly said, staring at the otherworldly being directly in the eye.
Raksha clenched all four of his fists, revealing very impressive and large muscles on his arms, his teeth bared in a snarl. But after a tense moment he released his anger and spoke. "You are correct. I apologize, my chosen. I am merely eager to help humanity but even I, without clear vision into your world should have known it would not be easy."
"It's fine, I figured it was something like that. I promise I'll break the effigies, but please let me do it at my own pace. It's a maze out there, and navigating it is already stressful enough." you responded gently.
"As you wish, my chosen. I shall continue to seek other effigies. Rest well." Raksha shortly said. With a sudden jolt, you were thrown out of the void and back into reality.
---
When you awoke, you were greeted with a delicious smell wafting through the house. You got up from the couch despite it's best attempts to keep you within its embrace and walked through the house until you reached the kitchen. As expected with the size of the house, the kitchen was fairly spacious. Kushina was standing over a stove, the handle of a pan in one hand and some tongs in another.
"Oh! You're up!" Kushina suddenly said with a smile, turning her head towards you. "Must have been tired, huh?"
"Y-Yeah. I'm sorry I was sleeping, I could have helped you!" you replied, feeling a bit guilty.
"Nah, don't worry about it, y'know? You two girls needed some rest. Jiao is currently upstairs in one of the guest rooms, dozing as well." Kushina said while turning back to her cooking. "You haven't washed up, haven't you? You should do that! I got you and Jiao some new clothes. Had to guess your size, but I hope they fit! They're in the bathroom upstairs."
"Wow. Thank you so much, Kushina-sensei!" you gratefully replied, bowing respectfully. "Guess I'll do that now."
"Alright, just try to be out in a half hour, dinner should be ready by then!" Kushina exclaimed. You nodded and left the kitchen, going upstairs and finding said bathroom. You saw your clothes folded on the counter of the sink. You unfolded them to see a cute green blouse and a matching skirt, with plain underclothes. It looked like it would fit just fine, so you took off the clothes you were wearing, throwing them in a dirty clothes bin in the corner and began your long overdue bath...
---
You felt rather refreshed after your bath and put on the clothes Kushina got you. Other than feeling a bit tight (which no doubt will loosen up as you wear them), they felt great! You looked yourself over in the mirror and after you decided you looked presentable, you walked out of the bathroom and went downstairs. You saw Jiao in the living room talking to Kushina and they both turned towards you as you reached the bottom step.
"Maya, please be a dear and stop this woman from forcing me to engage in her training. It's quite annoying!" Jiao complained, almost pouting.
"C'mon Jiao! It'll be great! Your arms and legs look kinda noodly, I can beef 'em up, y'know!" Kushina declared, pumping her arm to show some muscle. Compared to people like Kaitaikojo or Hiricho, it didn't look like much.
"I told you, someone of my status does not need such ugly muscles!" Jiao shot back, crossing her arms and turning away from Kushina.
"Kushina-sensei, just give up. If Jiao doesn't want to do something, almost nothing can get her to move." you sighed in mock defeat.
"...Fine, it's not the time anyway. It's time for dinner! Follow me girls!" Kushina enthusiastically said, walking into the dining room. On a rather modest looking dinner table was a large bowl of ramen with some vegetables plated for sides dishes. "Eat up! Especially you Maya, you got a hard day of training tomorrow!"
"Will do!" you cheerfully replied, your mouth almost watering. Soon enough, everyone got their bowls of ramen and chopsticks. It was a simple meal, but there was just something about it that made it delicious! You looked around the table, Jiao was hesitant in eating, looking at her bowl while Kushina was almost inhaling the noodles.
Perhaps you should talk to someone, spice up the occasion! Or you can stay quiet and enjoy your meal?
[] Talk to Kushina. See if you can't get some info of the Whirlpool or even the Leaf!
[] Talk to Jiao. She looks a bit uncomfortable, see if you can help.
[] Focus on your food. Kushina did say you needed to eat well before training, after all.
[] Write In.

Winning Vote: Go back to Kushina's house. Don't wanna stay out for too long, plus you don't want Jiao freaking out!
