The entire experience was a busy one, one that I won't feel at ease yet until we make it back to Cloud. Looking over at Umashi and his disguise, to make sure no identifying features stood out. Part of me wanted to tell him to ditch the old disguise in favor for a new one. Just to shake off the Leaf ninja or whoever else that it was that made those chakra bombs. That very thought made my mind start to wander, call it bull, but I usually have a good gut instinct, my old ANBU training gave me the mindset to think of anything that seems odd and how it may connect the dots. Whilst there is no real evidence that those chakra bombs are related to Umashi, I can't shake the feeling that he is somehow the center of something else. Maru is now a changed man, even respects Umashi, the Leaf ninja, Maki in the mix of it, seemed like they were there for him. And those chakra bombs. I don't believe in coincidences. And it is a hard thing to believe that someone in Sand would just blow up a resort, even though it had a little bit of crystals sticking out basically everywhere. I know very few Sand ninja, and it would seem that wouldn't be their style. Not even Akkuma, whom might be having his own nefarious deeds, I won't think he would destroy a whole resort.
I want to ask him some questions, but now is not the right time. Better be in Cloud, where things should be more calmer than all of the unknown variables that is the Wind Country. I walked and boarded a small sailing ship and waited for Umashi to make his way over.
