"What is that?"
"Hmm? Oh, it's called 'Klana', for warding evil spirit. Usually we need a chant and dance ritual, but for now, only this statue is enough"
"Kulana? Wait what you mean evil spirit, there's no evil spirit" I ask him while looking for my surroundings, 'There is no evil sprit'
"For now? Yes. As Rare as it seems, hundred or Thousand years ago, even when Warring State Era, there's a creature that they called an Evil Spirit.
Youkai.
Satan.
Hantu.
There's a lot of name for them.
A lot of clan using their chakra and abilities to exorcism or kill them. And one of the said clan is Uzumaki. They didn't kill but seal them. One of the most famous Uzumaki's seal array is The Prison Realm. There's two of them, the front and the back.
One them are mutated became Box of Ultimate Bliss."
He explains to me while start planting the Kulana behind the tree and sticking some paper on it.
"And we done"
"Is that paper talisman?"
"It's fuinjutsu paper, don't worry about it. Now let's continue our trip"
"Where we going?"
"Land of Fire, meeting some old friend"
"Is it far?"
"More or less"
"How many days?"
"With this speed? Around 2 weeks"
"Is it far?"
"By ninja standard? No. By Merchant? Yes"
"Is it-"
We continue walking to Land of Fire with a small talk.
(Author note : no, it wasn't 'small talk')
___
We enter massive gate with some ninja who came to check our IDs and belongings, and registering our name as a guest in this Village.
"Now I want you using your little blood in here, and write your name here"
"I can't write"
"Ahh.. then what's your name again? I'll write it for you"
"Uraume"
"Ok, there you go. This pass useable for this visit, if you wanted to come back later, you need to go to Administration Office in Hokage Tower to get a Permanent Guest Card."
"Thanks" Sugito-sama say to ninja.
"No problem, enjoy your stay"
After entering the massive gate, we saw row upon row of house and a big market, alot of merchant keep passing by and a civilian mingling and looking for wares. After a bit stop to Hokage tower, we arrive in A big Compound with three guards besides the entrance door.
"I'm here to meet Hasui Yamanaka, I'm an old friend" Sugito-sama said with showing a Yellow Lotus crest to the guard.
"We will inform the head, please enter first" The guard said after checking the crest.
After that we meet with stern old man with platinum hair, and have a tea. I don't like this tea. Taste too expensive for me. He wants me to wait outside when He and Sugito-sama conducting business.
" .... can you do it?"
" ... need permission ... "
" ... my .. sample ... "
" ... how much?"
" ... for sale."
" Fine, but I need ... "
"Sure, but you need to ..."
I don't really hear what they talking about but what I know is Sugito-sama smiling all the way back.
"May I now what make you happy?"
"Hmm? Well, Let's just say that if the Yamanaka's succeed, we can say goodbye to chakra poisoning and other fatal disease."
*Gasp*
"Is it that powerful?"
"Yes" He just smile with distant look in his eye. I hope whatever his plan is, They succeed. The world without pain, and sickness. I wonder if I can see it.

Present
I snap from a flashbacks when I sense a familiar chakra.
After I check all of the fruits and other herb have no problem, I step outside the Glasshouse. That's when I sense him, 'Black First' Tetsu, one of the Star in Iwagakure.
Able to using advanced Taijutsu Technique, which allow him to step in the air and instants step that make him one of the fastest ninja, not only in Iwagakure but the whole Shinobi World.
But the one feat that's make him pop out and enter the Bingo Book of various Hidden village is that he's able to escape the pursuit of Hachibi Jinchuriki after a mission gone wrong.
Hachibi Jinchuriki, who's rumored being the only perfect Jinchuriki, and that goofy man not only able to escape but also carried his teammates and his Jonin Captain.
"Yo, Uraume-boy"
