"Wimp pirates," complained Sasuke.
"Naw, that ain't it," said Meowth. "It's that the fabric here's thin as a cat's whisker and it's all that keeps us up. If it gets stitched together wrong, it ain't gonna stay airborne."
Sasuke considered this group trying to sew rents in the balloon closed, compounded by the low light level atop this mountain. Reluctantly he nodded. "Go ahead then, I'll keep watch."
The obvious relief of the three pirates (or two pirates and a summons if you wanted to get technical) would have been comical to just about anyone else.
"Yuhi-sensei," said Kiba, awakening as Akamaru "accidently" woke him up.
"Yeah, I know," said Kurenai, already awake. "It's just one so far and he's keeping his distance."
"One of the bandits?" asked Kiba.
"Don't know," admitted the jonin. "Probably saw the campfire and is trying to investigate without getting too close."
"So... we wait and see if there's others?" asked Kiba.
"What do you think?" asked Kurenai, slipping into examiner-role.
"We capture this one, get him to talk, and then lay in an ambush for any colleagues," said Naruto, still looking as if he was asleep.
"Interesting plan," said Kurenai as she considered the gennin. "How are you going to do that?"
Naruto's eyes slid open. "If you can get Hinata off my arm, I can do that."
"How'd she get over there?" asked Kiba. "I never heard her move."
Kurenai thought of that, and of Hinata's past. Of Hinata finding someone who valued her and wanted to make HER happy. Finding that she'd apparently crossed from her blanket over an additional three feet of ground to snuggle against that person - not exactly something that was all that hard to understand.
