Listen & Read

The worst part of the whole situation was that Tiatsu was out cold. He was given a stiff shot of morphine and most of the time Taiki was speaking to him he was already out. The arm over his face is just what he did after his got bandaged and he tried to cover his tears. To watch someone who barely knew the Uchiha be so compassionate it was truly humbling to Cairi. She wasn’t used to pain or adversity but she was often around it and so she tried to mend or at least clean up whatever pain they had for the time being so that they could keep mushing forward in their lives.

So, when Taiki went to leave she spoke up. “Nara. Thank you for those kind words. I will tell him when he wakes up. Keep your chin up, your mothers. Both of them. Would be very proud of the men you are. I Cairi Fuma. I am proud of you.” Maybe it wouldn’t be enough to evaporate their pain but maybe it would be enough to stitch some wounds for now.

[The week ends]

The crew had to pack up everything on the beach and place it back onto the ship. It’d be a quick and short clean up. Cairi, ordered them to leave the beach exactly how they found it as a respect to the beautiful nature. Though if there is one thing they did change. A Land of Fire flag was planted on the beach-head as they all left back to sea.

[Another week passes]

   After another calm weak on sea eventually, the captain of ship 1. Guren calls to all of the remaining captains. “There is a land mass ahead! It seems we’ve found another continent!” Cairi excitedly hopped onto the comms and had a pair of binoculars in her hand as she looked at the front of her ship. “Cairi here. I can confirm. We are coming upon a land mass! We’ve finally made it! Get the crews ready to drop the anchors and land on the beach!”

A cheer would come from every ship. Hugs, and kisses all over. After 11 grueling weeks on sea and after losing countless lives they’ve finally made it to a land mass. Exactly what they were looking for. All 4 ships would land and anchor on the beach. Upon landing, all of the shinobi were told to leave the ships and come gather on the beach for a briefing.

After the 1900 esq souls gathered on the beach Cairi herself spoke this time instead of anyone else.

“Thank all of you, we’ve made it this far and I personally wouldn’t want to ask anymore of any of you. Especially those who have lost loved ones or friends up to this point. I’d like to give a moment of silence to commemorate the brave souls of ship 4. Our left-guard.”

'A 10 second moment of silence came and went. '

“I’ve come to these lands to continue to go deeper and deeper. To discover the unknown or maybe even new civilizations. To get to the point of what I’m saying. You have the option now. Ship 2 is equipped to take anyone who wants to go home to the leaf home. As the flyer said. You only need to escort me here, you need not follow me even further into the unknown and risk yourselves. You’ve all done enough according to me.”

She took a short breath and bowed before continuing to speak. “For any and all who stay, your pay will be doubled. But so, will the risk. We only plan to take one party of 1000 in deeper. If we can even get that many of you to volunteer. So, my people. What will it be. You may make your choices now. No one will judge.”

600 of the 1900 would all get aboard ship 2 and prepare for the coming voyage home.

Half of that number didn’t mind staying but they didn’t want to travel further inland into even more of the unknown.

Leaving 670 shinobi that were willing to follow Cairi inland.

The half that stood behind would guard the ships. Waiting for Cairi and the company to return, before returning fully to the land of fire.

''Now presented with so many options what would our heroes choose? ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Risk the danger but get double the pay?

<p class="MsoNormal">'''   Cut them losses and leave before death becomes much closer than it already has? '''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''Or stay to guard the boats for an unspecified time and hope Cairi and gang make it back.? '''
