The sun was finally setting. It had been a long time since the young boy had had some time to himself, to really reflect upon the last few days without anyone interrupting him. The group, which consisted of Zenichi-kun, Mizuki-sempai, and Kagemaru-sensei, had stopped for the night before they were to continue onward to Sunagakure. They had taken up their residence within a small cave which provided shelter from the night-time elements. A slowly burning fire provided light and warmth, and it seemed like just about everyone else was already drifting off to sleep. Ginjiro couldn't blame them, though, considering all the things they'd been through on this trip. Trekking through the deep forested wilderness of the Land of Fire, attending the wedding ceremony of Toraono Kuro and Yamazaki Suzuhime, and then further travels through the deserts of the Land of Wind. A journey like that would take its toll on you, no matter who you were or what precautions you took to avoid your inevitable fate. Travel was not for the weak of heart, and by all accounts Ginjiro should be wiped out like everyone else. But unlike the rest of them, the young boy had a reason to stay up. Leaning against the back wall, Ginjiro held in his hands the mysterious scroll which he had acquired a few days ago and had the opportunity to read during the wedding ceremony. Its messages were still very unclear to the young boy. He kept reading them and re-reading them to see if he couldn't make sense of any of it...
As he walked a little ways from their campsite—though not far enough for him to lose sight of it in case of an emergency—Ginjiro found himself a nice rock to lay out on. Stretching himself out across the smooth stone, the young boy laid with his arms behind his head as he looked up at the stars. You couldn't see the stars like this in Leaf City, what with all the lights and smog. Here, though, the night sky was like a crystal glass dome and the stars twinkled beautifully through it. As he sat there and admired the stars, the young boy began to really feel at peace. Nothing could hurt the young boy right now. Not a single thing...

No, still nothing. Only the first two lines made any sense to the young boy; the first line was plain as day to anyone who read it, whereas the second line was only understood by the Ayatsuri child because of his ability to read and speak Fuego. Fuego, of course, was the Land of Fire's traditional language, the one spoken by its people since the ancient times. No one except those who hailed from the Land of Fire would be able to read it. The last two lines, though, were what troubled Ginjiro. He'd never encountered a language quite like them, and the boy had been constantly studying them to see if anything could be made of them. But for the hundredth time, he came up with a blank. Sighing a great sigh, the young boy rolled up the scroll and tossed it into his backpack where he kept it safe from prying eyes. He was tired of looking at that thing, and wanted nothing more to do with it tonight. The boy decided he needed to stretch his legs, breath cool air, and clear his mind. And so, the brown haired child stepped outside for a little bit. It wasn't too bad tonight; however, there was always that biting wind. Ginjiro had always heard terrible things about it back in Leaf City, but he honestly didn't mind it. Sticking his arms out around him, the young boy closed his eyes and breathed in the rich and crisp desert night air. It burned his lungs, in a good way, and helped him feel alive again. It rejuvenated the young lad, and made him wonder what the hell everyone had always been complaining about.Contents of the Scroll said:

A message, divided in three. Which can you read, I wonder? Will you be resourceful enough to figure it out?

عبارة من طبقة النبلاء, و الشفاه الجافة بفعل الرياح. لقد قطعنا شوطا بعيدا يجب وقفه. النهاية زوال لديك حتمية.
Szóval, a hazugság. Ha ránk találnak, akkor nem tudom, hogy az biztos. Nem számít, hogy mit csinálsz, akkor nem velünk szemben. Mi kell közlekedni.
