Burning Blue Shippuden

Chapter 23

After sealing Mōryō away, Y/N carried Shion on his back as they made their way back to the Land of Ogre. They ran into Makkuro and the others along the way as they travel back together. It took them about a few days before arriving at the Palace as they decided to stay for a few days to relax and enjoy some of the hot springs.

Right now Emichi Yoiko, Jatora, and Ryker were relaxing in one of the rooms in the palace.

Emichi: Ah this feels great. It's been a long time since we got the chance to relax in a place like this. Said as she laid on the floor.

Jatora: Indeed. The land here is now at ease since Mōryō is once again sealed.

Yoiko: Yeah. Not to mention the air has a more calm and pleasant feeling to it.

Ryker: You three did well against those walking pebbles.

Emichi: Honestly, I thought those things wouldn't stop coming.

Jatora: As long as there was stone, those soldiers would've continued to come. Regardless of how many we strike down.

Emichi: Yeah but I doubt that we would've lasted long against them for very long even with all our training.

Yoiko: Well, we managed to defeat those attackers from earlier with relative ease. Then again they weren't much of a fight anyway.

Emichi: That you are right babe. Said smiling as she looked at him. You sure show that jerk who's boss.

Yoiko chuckled while scratching the back of his head a bit embarrassed.

Jatora: Where is Y/N?

Yoiko: I'm not sure. Honestly, I haven't seen him since we got back.

Emichi: I doubt he's too far. Then again, none of us can really know what he's thinking most of the time.

Ryker chuckled getting their attention.

Yoiko: Is something funny?

Ryker: If you're wondering where that numbskull is, he's with the priestess.

Jatora: With Lady Shion?

Emichi: Ok, why though? The last time I check, he utterly hated her.

Ryker: That he did but it seems that something happened between them. Said as he smirked. Now I may be an old man, but I can sense that he made that girl fall for him.

Emichi: SAY WHAT!?!?!?! Utterly shocked. Do you mean that that priestess actually is in LOVE with him?!?

Ryker: It's just a hunch but it's a strong possibility. Said as he chuckled.

Yoiko: S-Seriously?

Jatora: Rather unexpected outcome of the mission.

Emichi: Jeez, he already has several girls and now he has her falling for him? Just how many wives is he planning on having?

Ryker: What? Jealous that he'll be having kids before you and Yoiko? Said smirking. Surely you've been thinking about that, haven't you?

Emichi was rather annoyed as Yoiko nervously chuckled.

Jatora: Even so, I am curious as to know how Motori and Kohaku are doing with their mission.

Yoiko: Yeah. He is supposed to find that Jinchuriki from the Leaf. What was his name again?
