As the sound was emanating from the Gates Of Time, Sailor Pluto was a little concerned.
gurgle. choke. THUNK!
"THUNK?!" asked Sailor Pluto. "The Gates Of Time are NOT supposed to go 'Thunk!' Nor wheeze nor gurgle!"
rattleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee voop voop voop vurp.
Sailor Pluto looked at the little poof of smoke coming up from the Gates Of Time and experienced a classic Maalox Moment. "You're an Artifact of the Silver Millenium. Pull yourself together!"
The Gates Of Time didn't answer. Probably that was for the best.
Not knowing what else to do, Sailor Pluto tried whacking it really hard with her Time Key Staff.
chunka-chunka-wheeze-gurgle-rattle-twoing.
"Now THAT," said Sailor Pluto, "did not sound good at all."
True enough, the scene swirling in the viewing portal was not one inclined to assure her of anything. Oh, she was familiar with the setting well enough. It was just the players...
Mister Tendo adjusted his little conical hat and looked at the postcard. On one side was a nice picture of the Village Hidden In The Mountains Near The Cursed Springs, probably bought at their gift shop during that Tournament they had up there. The other side, scrawled in barely legible handwriting, was something rather more interesting.
Tendo-
Bringing the boy. Arriving Sunday.
-Genma
PS: There were complications.
"That sounds like Genma, all right," chuckled Sarutobi Tendo, sending a little puff out of his pipe. "Today's Sunday. Ah, where has the time gone? GIRLS!"
There was no immediate reaction.
"Hmph, I don't remember any monster-hunting or ninja-contracts coming in," mused Sarutobi Tendo. He listened for a few moments before following noise to the dojo. He smiled on seeing one of his daughters practicing her chakra control and going through some taijutsu manuevers. His smile evaporated on seeing the large poster on one wall.
RIPPPPPPPPPPPP!
"AHHHHHHHHHH! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO SASUKE-SEMPAI!"
Mister Tendo sighed. "Sakura. Do you really think that a poster of Upperclassman Uchiha is appropriate in our DOJO!"
"We're supposed to use wall hangings for inspiration!" pointed out Sakura.
"Nonetheless, if you would call your sisters to a meeting, we're going to have guests soon," said Mister Tendo. Then he relented and showed that he hadn't actually ripped the poster. Though if Sakura was that vulnerable to genjutsu it was going to be a liability later.
"Guests?" asked Sakura, thinking she wasn't going to like this.
