Hidden Oasis [Holiday Mission/Open to 3]

Kita walked along with his companions as they made their way closer to the portal, chatting about this and that with them, answering the questions that they had about Kirigakure. Fu had asked Kita and Akabayashi about their respective villages, and Kita felt inclined to answer. "Kirigakure? Well, it's very wet, that's for sure. It's near always covered in mist, and you have to be used to being cold a lot of the time. Well, not THIS cold, but you get the picture. They treat their shinobi pretty well, lots of training places and lessons are available to us. Plus, I don't think that there's a better community for our young shinobi out there." Kita hoped that he had satisfied Fu's curiosity for the time being.

After Kita turned his clone into a brand new winter coat, it was Akabayashi's turn to ask a question. "Kita what are your elite ninja called? I forget the name of them. The Leaf have Anbu, Hoshi Nova, etc.?" Kita had to think about it for a moment. Most ninja set their sights on being a Jounin, as achieving that level of status was rare in the shinobi world. "I think that we just call them Hunter-Ninja. They're the ones in charge of tracking down and..." Kita paused for a moment, not wanting to think about what the Hunter-Ninja do for a living. "Persuading rogue ninja to change their ways. If it just so happens that they can't, they have to treat them as they would any other hostile ninja. They're also in charge of making sure that bloodlines remain in the hands of Kirigakure, but that goes without saying." Kita walked in silence for the last part of the journey, drinking in the words of his comrades, and sitting on the things that he said.

Before long, the ninja group stood in front of the shimmering doorway. One by one, the ninja made their way inside. The Hyuuga, if he was even real as Akabayashi suggested, stepped inside first. Soon after, Fu followed suit, making her way inside the door after bidding her farewells. Kita waved her goodbye as she went, and afterwards it was Akabayashi's turn. With his own wave, he disappeared inside the doorway as well, leaving Kita alone in the freezing cold. Not wanting to be left behind, Kita stepped through the doorway as well, vanishing into whatever lay beyond.

When the haze faded, Kita stood in the middle of an oasis filled to the brim with life and greenery, the scent of plants and nature filling his lungs. Animals of all shapes and sizes flitted about free of fear from predators, ranging from the mundane, to the bizarre, to the mythical. Streams made their way through the paradise, and filled the air with a hint of moisture. Kita looked around for the other ninja, but found nothing except a strange, red suited man. Kita blinked twice, and the man gave a hearty laugh, before speaking in a deep, booming yet strangely calming voice. "Hello Kita! Congratulations on finding the oasis! Don't worry, I can tell that you're confused. Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you, I'm just here to send you back home. The other ninja who came with you are fine. They're right back home themselves." The man had a peculiar twinkle in his eye. Kita was about to ask the man some questions, but with a snap of his fingers, Kita awoke in his bed in a cold sweat, with no memory of the adventure that just occured.

The feeling of accomplishment , a bright light that radiate on him, as he entered into his new world. He had notice three other people that have been tailing him, one looks familiar, but the hyuuga would simply mind his own business. As matter of fact, the Hollykage had somehow registered his memory such that he couldn't remember anything in the past. Even if he knew these people in his former world, he sure does not remember them. 


Now , the true test. It turns out the test itself was a test of fear , a test of whether the hyuuga would would turn back in fear, at the sight of the doorless entrance. The other of the world has several monsters devouring their preys, but it was all illusions. This was something the hyuuga realised the moment he stepped his foot into the new world.  His eyes caught the location of the hidden grove the moment his feet touched the ground. The hyuuga would begin to walk towards , the closer he gets to it, the smaller the grove becomes. That was a mystery to the boy, but he didn't really cared much about that, as long as he fulfills the wish of the Hollykage. What happened to be mysterious creatures from the outside world were actually beautiful animals. The hyuuga would touch the grove with his palm, signaling to the Hogokage that he had located the grove. The Grove would vanish, turns out it returned back to the Hollykage’s territory. Few seconds later, the hyuuga would be teleported out of the area into his real World.
