"Jeez, why is this village so high up?" You question as you continue to use your feet to attempt to climb up the steep mountain. Jiraiya shrugs and continues walking with ease. "It's the Village Hidden in the Sky, I already told you it wouldn't be easy."

You grumble behind him and cross your arms, immediately regretting it when you lose your flow of chakra to your feet and slip. But just before you fall, your hand is grabbed and you're pulled onto Jiraiya's back. "I swear." He mutters.

You ignore his comment and instead smile as you rest your head on his shoulder, allowing him to carry you the rest of the way.

You get there after an hour or so and when you're on solid, sturdy ground, you hop off of his back and land on the floor. "Where am I training today?"

He shrugs and looks around at all of the tall stone sculptures that tower over both of you, dust of clouds sprinkling the scene. "We're not training today."

"Huh? Why?" You've been training all day every day recently. So this isn't exactly normal. Jiraiya sighs and looks at the sky. "Tomorrow you're turning ten. So tonight we have to do the 'thing'."

Yup. He has yet to tell you what the thing is. You have no clue what it is. Absolutely no hints, no explanations, just simply nothing. He actually doesn't bring it up too often, which is also annoying.

But you've learned to just not bother asking what it is and just wait and see.

As you both walk, a distant village comes into view. In a matter of minutes you're walking the streets and waving your arms around, playing with the clouds that skim the earth.

It's not raining, but the atmosphere is very, very moist. There's particles of water scattering the air and building up on your skin, causing water droplets to form.

As you walk, you can see Jiraiya eyeing the shops all around. You've come to learn he's- well- a pervert.

You didn't really catch on to his habits until half a year ago when you got too tired and you decided to find him to let him know you were headed to an inn. Meanwhile he was getting massaged by about five women in small clothing.
