To the Kage Summit [Sabaku -> Mori]

Emiko would wait patiently by the village gates for her students to get ready, if they weren't already that was. She knew that chances were something was going to happen: whether or not that something would involve Suna and Okami would be left to remain seen. She had given them permission to defend themselves if trouble arised, and she expected them to do just that. She wouldn't ask them not to because Emiko herself would not do such a thing: if a threat rose it was to be eliminated, it was how Emiko had been taught and how she would teach them.

It would seem that the Umigakure nin would be traveling with them too which was fine with her - best to travel together than risk someone getting into a nasty situation while crossing through the sands. The place was a death trap for most people, dangerous, with a variety of sand traps and the like to catch the unsuspecting victim. Bandits too, though she expected that they wouldn't be a problem for the likes of the Umigakure nin nor her students. Still, best to avoid trouble at all if it could be helped.

When everyone proved ready Emiko would lead the way without further stalling; she didn't want to be late to an important meeting, and could only hope everyone would start without her. She would take the easiest path back, but also the shortest as a means to save time: keeping to a speed that everyone would be able to keep up with well enough.

It wouldn't be long before they reached the forested village of Morigakure...

This was gonna be cool. Coach Emiko, the cool blind Kane man, the Umikage, who he'd never seen before... and then there was this Senju guy he'd heard about. He didn't know what a Senju was, but Suna was thinking they weren't very good if he let some wild man out in the woods pull off one of his arms, then come running to the desert for help before he died, bleeding everywhere the whole time. There was also the matter of that lobster Uchiha. Mori was a cool village when Temaki was in charge. He didn't know what to say about it now.

Suna wondered what the other villages were going to do. They all had to be super strong in their own right, while Mori was looking like a weak joke. One of their guys got killed by one of the Kurayami nin. The gossip on the street was that he hit the guy so hard he instantly exploded, and it happened so fast that the boom wasn't heard until much later. Kurayami was probably going to be the strongest village there if they had people with that kind of power.

Suna ran through the desert with Coach Emiko, Miyuki, and the silent water guy. Sometimes idiots appeared out here in the Yasei and tried having a go at people they cross paths with, driven half crazy from the sun and sand. Suna kept his eyes open. This time they were lucky in avoiding all of that madness, but that luck didn't always last. Not that Suna would mind getting into a fight; he felt ready for anyone, even the emolester.

The scenery around them started turning green, which meant they were getting close to his former home.

~Suna Out~

Suna was ready just like her and so they were able to leave right away. Normally the desert was a pretty dangerous place to journey through: there were all kinds of dangers from the natural elements that made up the desert, on top of the bandits and criminals that chose the place as their home to avoid the law and to be able to move about undetected. Moving in a group like they were nothing was likely to happen, and it didn't. Miyuki wouldn't have minded a fight, though, considering the skills she learned. But, it was better like this.

Miyuki wasn't going to think too hard about going back to Morigakure this soon, nor about the chances of running into Okami Uchiha again. She didn't want to kill the guy like Suna did, but she didn't like him. She had every intention of just sticking near Suna and Emiko and keeping her distance from Okami as to avoid trouble.

The heat of the desert which Miyuki was beginning to get used to fairly quickly turned into the cool shade of Morigakure. The scents of the sand changed to ones of the greenery around them as they arrived.

Back through the desert he went. Myuto made sure to fill up his bottles before leaving; Sabaku water had a particular taste that had Myuto surprised, seeing as this was the desert. He needed it otherwise, because the desert was a dry, harsh environment.

A meeting of the villages. Myuto was one of the only seasoned nin in Umi, other than Umiko herself. Mori wasn't looking like it could very well defend itself, as the Kage only had one arm, and the Uchiha was described as an idiot and an "Emolester;" though Myuto himself didn't see how the guy was so bad when he met him personally, besides a few scars. Sabaku had a number of different shinobi, which included Suna and Miyuki, a small boy with his eyes covered, and several others that he could feel through echolocation.

Kurayamigakure was currently unknown to Myuto. Since the Kage there, "Alec" as he was called by the blinded boy, had recently traveled to Morigakure to attend the summit, there was no reason for Myuto to travel there now, since there would be no point in delivering the note now that Umiko and Alec were both there. Umiko told Myuto to take his time and explore though, and Myuto made plans to go there anyway, once the summit was ended.

Myuto could feel moisture returning to the air. He could see the surroundings begin to change from desert into plains and forests. The large forest appeared again, and Morigakure was in the distance. Powerful chakra were all gathered there, and Myuto couldn't help but feel himself become excited.
