The wonderful thing about the farming area of the Tea Country was that it was quite familiar to one from the Fire Country. Being neighboring countries, Umashi wasn't too surprised as he walked through the grassy fields and smelled the sweet aroma of nature all around him. For one in tune with Senjutsu as he was, the place was pure bliss when compared to the city. Standing out amid all of the greenery around him, his white medical robes looked especially regal in the gentle breeze. In a word, one could say that he was in as close to Heaven as one could possibly be but he wasn't going to get too attached to the countryside what with all that was going on.
As much as he liked the small pockets of time that he got to himself in situations like this, he knew that they couldn't last long. There simply wasn't a place around that he could currently enjoy enough peace with which to raise his growing family. Like many leaders and great fathers, he'd simply have to settle for what he could have. It was that mental journey that brought him to the clearing where he was to meet a man of fellow taste. According to his informants in the Contract World, there was a fellow Sage of the Arts that was also looking to expand his knowledge. What he'd bring to the table would remain to be seen but Umashi was willing to teach and learn about anything if it helped him to protect the ones that he loved.
