"Iwagakure, huh? I highly doubt it though, I heard their forces took a brutal setback when they invaded Sunagakure." It was true Sunagakure, our ally, got hit hard. Even though their leader, Soratsu was injured severely I heard he took out most of their forces before he was subdued himself. It just didn't make sense for Iwagakure to attack Kumogakure, the period of time between the two attacks just didn't work. I was sure Iwagakure would need to recover before it even attempted to attack another village. I truly had no idea who would do such a thing, but I had ruled out Iwagakure from the list of suspects in my mind.
A long silence fell upon the group after I asked Blanche what would happen if someone ever came to kill her. I wondered what she was thinking as we continued to walk, covering the distance quicker than I assumed us to have. Her answer was predictable, despite everything that happened she still managed to care for the village. This is why I placed so much trust into this one woman, I knew what she was capable of, and I knew she would never betray us. However, she wouldn't have to worry about dying anytime soon.
"I promise." I whispered, a soft, comforting smile creasing my face. "But—that'll never happen Blanche! You'll be able to grow old, and wrinkly watching the village you brought back from destruction prosper and evolve before your very eyes. That's something that I will put my life on." Before I knew it we were crossing into Taki no Kuni, the sun was still shining but it was obvious that the sunlight was fading away as time slowly crept away from us.
