After the Fourth Great Shinobi World War ended, the world was experiencing a time of peace. The villages for once were able to live in relative harmony with one another as they rebuilt, and for once, all seemed to be well. The kage were able to live peaceful lives and soon began retiring, passing on the baton to the next generations. That is until an unknown virus infects the northern coast. The first to fall is the once powerful Raikage, Ay. While many thought this virus was a simple mutation of what may have well been the flu, no one would ever think of the destruction it would cause. Especially when it infected a certain Uzumaki Naruto.
With his death came the malice; with the malice came the destruction; with the destruction came the shinobi' revolt; and with the revolt came the sacrifices. The Bijuu became filled with malice that they sought to destroy the world. Shinobi sought a way to fight them and once again capture each of the Bijuu. Time passed, and a plan was devised. The Jinchuuriki would be sacrificed for the greater good of the world, and with the deaths of nine individuals, an uneasy peace began.
As time continued, the villages began to truly restructure. In a peace that would last 80 years after the downfall of the Bijuu, the world would see the creation of a great many things. Technology was beginning to take root and before long the blossoms that grew from the tree of the advanced mind would bear fruit. A many great things came to be. A railroad between the vast many nations. Mechanical limbs to replace lost ones. Radios that could reach between villages. Everything seemed to be becoming less reliant on the shinobi. Only the need for them never truly vanished. As with the growth of time, also continued the growth of malice.

"Yup, just hold it still and..." He focused his chakra into his hands and placed them where the chains were attached to the roof and soon pink crystals began to form around the old rusted chains and travel down turning into chains as well as they made contact with the sign and soon it was hanging by solid crystal chains that shone pink. "Think they'll like it?"

Heiki released the sign when he felt it anchor, backing up to look at the other male's work. Despite having not been able to see the jutsu he used from his position, chocolate eyes recognized the pink chains instantly. Crystals. Heiki let out a low whistle; he was impressed.
“Nice! I didn't know there were crystal users in Iwagakure.”
Crouching, Heiki collected the pieces of tile he'd knocked off and broken, tossing them into a bin near the front door. That the Iwa shinobi could use shoton would likely make a lot of the repair work faster and easier. But it was more of a matter of whether or not he was willing.
“Let's take a look inside,” he called, “I bet that jutsu of yours will make everything easier.”

Hearing the fact that Iwa wasn't known for having crystal style users made the wolf boy smile and filled him with cockiness. "Yep, sort of the only one around so far, and if I'm not well I'm one of the best damn users of it." Jumping down from the roof he looked at the bin where the rest of the roof shingles were that the goat man had let fall. Guess having hooves for feet didn't really help a whole lot, in fact Okami was curious if the guy tended to trip a lot, he knew goats could walk just about anywhere but when your half goat wouldn't those abilities be a bit...gone? He should probably ask before they get done with this job.
He followed the chimera as he said that they should check the inside and that Okami's special jutsu's might be the only tool they need. "Its not really all that great, its not a sort of super glue but it does get the job done doesn't it?" he said as he walked inside the inn and had a look around for himself, it didn't take long for him to find the kitchen that needed a big roof repair. "Wonder if they'll like a pink skylight..." he mumbled to himself before he went into the dining room and brought a chair back to the kitchen with him and used it to reach the ceiling, thank god for his height.
Focusing his chakra again he placed his hands on the edges of the hole and slowly made a thin layer of pink crystal around the hole. "There ya go, hope you enjoy your new pink skylight." he proudly finished his worked and took a moment to admire it. Damn he was good.

"Yep, sort of the only one around so far, and if I'm not well I'm one of the best damn users of it."
Heiki tilted his head. Perhaps the boy's parents or grandparents were immigrants of Kumogakure? Though, Heiki never had much interest in studying kekkei genkai. Perhaps they weren't limited to only one village. Natural selection, maybe. Who cares why he had it, it was just cool that he had it. Heiki had seen his fair share of crystal users himself here, so he'd probably be a better judge.
“There are plenty of Shoton users where I'm from. Maybe you can learn something from them, if you're the only user in your village.”
Heiki idly wondered if it would be possible. He'd at least heard of discord between the villages (not that he really cared for the affairs between the human shinobi), but if he brought someone home with him, it might be different. Who knows.
"Its not really all that great, its not a sort of super glue but it does get the job done doesn't it?"
The faun looked to his companion.
“Not glue, no, but it's quite a versatile skill.”
As they reached the hall, the pair split off different ways. Unlike Okami-san, Heiki didn't possess natural skills that allowed him to repair easily, and he was highly sure he would not be provided with things to repair with. It was a godsend, actually, to have met this male. It saved a lot of time, energy, and money. Well, for Heiki anyway. Heading to the closet behind the reception desk, Heiki foraged for a push brooms. Many places were in such a state of disrepair that Heiki had a very hard time believing the old woman could even keep this place up and running. It had to be older than even she was.
The building had six room, two with one bed, two with a double bed, and two with two double beds. Calling it a “resort” would be an overstatement, in Heiki's opinion, but that was what was written on the sign. “Takahiro Hotspring Resort.” Opening all of the rooms, heiki worked on pushing the piles of debris into the hall, opening windows as he went to spare himself the pleasant coughing that would accompany the dust. Manual labor for food and shelter seemed to be a fair trade off, but the amount of work that needed to be put into this place increased with every step Heiki took, finding something new that needed repaired at each turn. Hopefully the Iwa wolf was faring better.

He still didn't really understand why he was staying to lend a hand to this guy but doing this sort of work was a little fun for Okami. It made him feel like a really artsy person making his crystals look nice against the old place, of course he wished he could change the color of the crystals but hey, pink was sexy you know? He soon found himself busy fixing the walls around the place with a few patches of crystals here and thee until he came across a room where the chimera was. "Almost done fixing the holes in this place, need any help...doing whatever your doing?"
He looked at the pile of debris and moved a few things around with his foot to look through it all "They sure do got a lot of stuff here huh, should probably sell some of it so it can go to a new home, speaking of which you never said where your from. Or well, where you live now with your family anyway. Do you uh...live with other...humans?" he asked as he took a hard look at the goat man, his eyes trained on the tail that was coming from his behind and wondered what sort of animal tail it resembled.

Heiki looked up towards the doorway when he heard the other shinobi approach.
"Almost done fixing the holes in this place, need any help...doing whatever you're doing?"
“...sweeping.”
Yeah. That was one way to put it. It was mostly just pushing piles of junk around. But it cleared paths and made the rooms look presentable when the junk was removed.
"They sure do got a lot of stuff here huh, should probably sell some of it so it can go to a new home, speaking of which you never said where you're from. Or well, where you live now with your family anyway. Do you uh...live with other...humans?"
“If you see anything interesting, take it. Judging by the sorry state this place is in, I doubt anyone will miss it. I wouldn't.” Heiki shifted his weight from one leg to the other at the second statement. Raising his right hand, he tapped the steep plate on his neck, tied in place by the headband.“I live in Kumogakure, serving the Raikage. I live with a human family, yes. But I'm from a small village deeper in... Kaminari...” Heiki noticed the blue eyes staring behind him, lower. Heiki knew nothing was there, and his tail swished, curling around behind his left leg. He cleared his throat. “Kaminari no Kuni. How about yourself, Wolf of the Rock?”

He couldn't just take things! Sure they probably wouldn't miss anything but...okay well maybe he could take one thing out of this pile of trash. Oh that little wooden carving of a lion was cute so Okami quickly picked that up and stuffed it into his pockets while looking around to see if anyone was looking before turning back to the chimera man to make it look like he wasn't even considering touching the pile of junk.
Managing to face him just in time to see him tap the headband that he wore around his neck that Okami never really noticed before because really, the guy had way to many parts to focus on and unless his skin started turning another color around his neck Okami probably would have never saw the headband. So he was from Kumokagure, if he wasn't a scary and interesting looking man Okami would have probably taken him out with a kunai to the throat by now, but nah he was off duty today so the guy was safe. "So a Kumo man huh? And well you sorta half guessed where I'm from," the blonde turned the headband on his bicep around to show the symbol of his village, "I'm from Iwakagure. So that would be Wolf of the Mountains to you mister." A shit eating grin accompanied those words as Okami came over to one of the holes in the wall that littered this place and placed a hand on the wall to cover the hole with a clear sheet of pink rock.

"I'm from Iwakagure. So that would be Wolf of the Mountains to you mister."
Wolf of the Mountains, eh? Such a big title.
“Impressive, Mountain Wolf,”
Looking around, Heiki recalled seeing a bin in one of the rooms, and went to fetch it. Reusable items at least could be set aside and the rest go to trash. Crouching, he balanced on his ankles, rummaging for anything that looked whole and undamaged and dropping it into the bin.
“And I'm sure you can take more than just the lion,” Heiki commented. The blonde thought no one had seen him. Heiki held up a second figurine before tossing it at the Iwa nin. “Apparently it has a mate.”
When the job was finished the bin was set up on a shelf. Shifting his weight to a leg, Heiki tapped the point of his right hoof on the ground, thinking. Then, an idea. This was a hotspring place.

As he finished his work on the wall he turned his head to the words the goat man had said about the little wooden lion he picked up earlier having a mate and tossed him another wooden feline, shit did that mean the guy saw? Great, guess that was another skill Okami had to work on when he got back home, it would sure help when he would borrow some honey from his friend Yuu. "Thanks, I'm sure they'll be happy together."
He then followed him towards the springs, if they finished here perhaps the owner would let them take a nice dip, that would be one hell of a reward besides cash, of course both a dip in the springs and cash would do nicely for the blonde. As they reached the springs Okami stared at the water, "Wow...looks so nice, man I wanna take a dip so badly...but uh...without that being the elephant in the room." the wolfboy said as he pointed to the bamboo wall that separated the springs for men and women which had a big hole in it and covered by a large white sheet.

This area was the cleanest part of the establishment, Heiki determined, looking at the steamy, pristine water. It looked inviting. It was conveniently empty today too; though Heiki couldn't imagine they got many visitors. Shame really. At least that old woman kept one thing up.
"Wow...looks so nice, man I wanna take a dip so badly...but uh...without that being the elephant in the room."
Heiki followed the male's gaze with interest. Elephant? But wait... it was just a sheet. Perhaps the blonde meant behind it? They were interesting creatures.
“It's not a room,” Heiki commented, walking around the perimeter to where the sheet was. “We're outdoors.”
Reaching it, Heiki realized there was a rather massive hole behind the sheet... but certainly not one large enough for an elephant, and pulled aside the sheet to look into the other side. Certainly nothing here, either. Just another part of the springs. May as well knock the wall down and make it all bigger, really. Releasing the sheet, the summon turned back to the Iwa shinobi, slightly vexed.
“There aren't any ele...” He stared blankly at the expression Okami-san made at him, then realization dawned on him. “We're not talking about an actual animal, are we?” Clearing his throat, Heiki continued like that rather common slip-up hadn't happened. “Yeah, we better get this hole fixed too. Since there's a barrier I assume no one wants to see through it... try making opaque crystals?”
notes Yuu's gonna put an anti-ninja padlock on his cabinets and he will keep the key in his vest. Come and get it motherfucker. This is exactly what it looks like.

Did he seriously think Okami was being literal when he said elephant in the room? Surely he had some grasp of modern language slang, of course by the way he spoke he did seem a bit...traditional. Yeah traditional was one way to put it. "It was an expression, like a saying, I meant that the big hole in the wall there was really super obvious, after all you wouldn't want someone peeping on ya when your taking a nice dip in the springs right?"
He walked over to the edge of the pool and measured the distance between him and the hole, it seemed a bit out of his reach, heck his fingers could barely reach the tarp. Then he heard the goat man talk about making some sort of different type of crystal. Guess this was their first snag in the road to finishing this job. "Uh...opaque? Sorry I can only make pink crystals, so uh...yeah I don't think this job will be that easy...any other ideas?"

"It was an expression, like a saying, I meant that the big hole in the wall there was really super obvious.”Oh."After all you wouldn't want someone peeping on ya when your taking a nice dip in the springs right?"
“Does it matter? No one is there, and if there was, they wouldn't bother us. If they wanted to be on our side, wouldn't they just come through the door rather than climb through a hole that was high up?”
Heiki followed Okami-san when the blonde made his way to the hole, inspecting it.
"Uh...opaque? Sorry I can only make pink crystals, so uh...yeah I don't think this job will be that easy...any other ideas?"
Heiki tilted his head at the human.
“'Opaque' isn't a color. It's when something isn't translucent.” That face. “It's when you can't see through it. Make your crystal dense enough that someone couldn't look through and see to the other side.”
Perhaps the shouton user from Iwagakure wasn't capable of it. The shouton users in Kumogakure were flexible and could do many things with their crystals. But then, the wolf stated that he thought he was the only user. Perhaps someone needed to teach him how. They were on neutral ground, but ultimately any shinobi village was an enemy to Kumogakure; bringing an Iwa shinobi back for learning how to hone their skills to fight better wouldn't necessarily be an approvable notion. Still...
“Give it a try. What's the worst that will happen? It won't work? Then at least there will be a solid sheet there that no one could peek through without effort.”
notes What is this “metaphor” you speak of? Also I may have to note again that Heiki is shorter than Okami. xD So if Heiki could peek through the hole, then Okami would have had an easier time.

Oh, so that's what it mean, boy did the blonde feel dumb now. Was this what they meant when someone called him a "dumb blonde"? He always thought they were making fun of his hair not his intelligence. Back on track however, thinking about it he figured he could do something like that, he just had to make thicker crystal right? Worth a shot.
"All right, let's see....just gotta..." He ripped the tarp off of the hole and placed his hands on the edged of it and let his chakra flow from his hands onto the surface. He made another clean thin layer of crystal over the hole but it was still transparent, so he focused his chakra and with a deep breath forced another layer over it, this more solid than the last and was able to create a clear reflection of the opposite wall. "Phew, think that's better?"

Heiki stepped back when Okami-san tore the tarp-sheet-whatever-Kodiak-is-calling-it off the hole. He said nothing as the male talked to himself figuring out what to do, listening to the crackle of the crystals being formed as he made sheets of it to cover the large hole.
"Phew, think that's better?"
Heiki gave a low whistle at the mirror-like sheet of sanguine crystal. The blonde was a quick learner, yet again, Heiki was impressed.
“It's perfect. What do you say we stop for lunch? Ask the old lady if you can take a dip before we go back to work.”
Heiki didn't care for hotsprings one way or another. He didn't like the way people spoke of his presence nor did he especially like moving through water. But, if the Iwa shinobi did, may as well follow suit. Would be better than standing around waiting; the wolf had proven far more useful than Heiki had ever anticipated. Wouldn't want to make him feel awkward by waiting on him while he soaked.
notes Did you really not know what “opaque” means or was it just Okami? Either way the dumb blonde joke made me giggle. Also enjoy the picture in your pms i'm totally not finishing tonight cus distractions. Expect many breakings of the fourth wall in Heiki's posts. It's kind of his post style quirk. It's funny, to me. One more thing, remember that Okami is using chakra to make those crystals. If you're doing it consistently he may need a break. Then again you're Uzumaki heritage though so you have a fuckton of chakra.

The wolfboy smiled as he was told he had done pretty good with fixing up the wall. It meant that not only was he doing a decent job but he was slowing getting better with his chakra and using it in new ways, he was sure somewhere down the line it would help him become a better shinobi, maybe even impress that stubborn Maou. When the mention of food came up his smile turned into an all out gleeful expression. "Yeah I'm starving a little, and we should totally take a nice dip in these springs, after all we have been working pretty hard, we deserve a little rest and relaxation don't we?" the blonde said with a coy wink as he went off in search of the lady.
"Helloooooo. Miss Inn Keeper? We finished a lot of the work needed and were wondering if we could have lunch?" The boy yelled in the halls as he made his way back to the kitchen and looked up at the new skylight he had installed. Perhaps he should do something like this for his home, oh and maybe Yuu might light one as well, god knows the guy could use a bit of light for someone who plays with bees.
