Peace with The Mountains

[LS95]

"You guys wanna rest, or move on?", Lee asked his buddies.  

[Kaija_14]

Kita shook her head. "I can keep going, the faster we get the village the better." She said with a smile.  

[HaruoxMiyuki]

Miyuki smiled and nodded.
"I wonder if there are more puppets like those later..."
She continued walking as she looked around.
Then, she turned to face Lee.
"Lee-san, are you going to be okay?"  

[LS95]

"I'm still alive and so are the both of you, so yes, I am.", Lee said, dashing ahead to get to the god-damned village already.  

[Pain - Bringer of Order]

As the group arrived at a large gate, guarding the entrance to the Land of the Mountains, they were halted by guard ninja at the top of the gate. "Halt! What is your business with the Land of Mountains!? Speak swiftly." The largest guard said.  

[HaruoxMiyuki]

Miyuki quickly following Lee, screeches into a halt.
She looked at the guard to Lee, not knowing if she should tell the guard, or if Lee should.  

[Kaija_14]

Kita followed after them with Aoi at her side, stopping as a guard from the gate tells them to stop. "We're ninja from the Leaf Village, we are supposed to meet with an ambassador of some sort for three trials." She responded.  

[LS95]

Lee bowed, and said to the large guard, " That is correct, we were sent here so that our strength may be tested by the land of mountains. My name is Lee, they are Miyuki and Kita. they are from the Leaf, a recent ally of the mountains, I, however, am from the hidden mist. May we proceed to see the ambassador?"  

[Pain - Bringer of Order]

"From the Leaf eh...."

The guards spoek among themselves for a moment. Then the largest of them spoke again. "We have recently formed an alliance with the Leaf. That much is true. The two girls may proceed. But the Mist is a life long enemy to our land and we will not permit you to venture into our lands young boy!" he said with great authority ringing in his voice.

The gates opened, allowing for the girls to advance.  

[HaruoxMiyuki]

Miyuki looked at Kita hesitantly but stood still.
"But Lee-san is part of our team and he, most importantly, is our leader."
She looked at the guards seriously.
"I cannot and will not go on unless Lee-san comes with us."  

[LS95]

"OK, I make you a deal, I'll fight you for permission to enter, I will not kill you on my honor.", Lee offered.  

[Pain - Bringer of Order]

The large guard laughed hardily. "Hyayayayayayh!! You think you can offer us an ultimatum to gain entrance to our land?! Surely you jest! Consider this a warning, NO!"  

[LS95]

"OK, get me a training dummy, I want to show what I am capable of.", Lee asked the guard.  

[Pain - Bringer of Order]

"Maybe he doesn't understand you sir..."
"Well one of you explain it to him before I lose my cool!"
"Right."

A smaller guard jumped down from the gate and landed softly infront of Lee. He spoek quickly and clearly so that they would understand. "You hail from an enemy village. You will not be able to access our lands, I'm sorry. You're comrades may venture in and meet you back here, but you are not allowed in under any circumstances. Doing otherwise is strictly forbidden. Please do not make this a hassle or HE will take his anger out on your group. Understood?" the small guard asked to make sure the message was clear.  

[LS95]

"I understand perfectly, my good man, just want to show-off and such. Any of you want a rice cake or something?", Lee said politely.
