Chapter 113: III Chapter 15 – A chance comes up

Gene was bored, very bored. The day offered nothing more exciting than constantly listening to rumors, where little of interest was picked up. 

That was, until at least she picked up something interesting. 

You heard of that Oasis? 

What Oasis?

The one where the opened a gambling den. 

It piqued her interest, but the two Shinobi were gone faster than she could blink. Cursing her position and her inability to get away, she remained there. 

A Gambling then. 

A long shot but with some Luck I might meet Tsunade Senju there, from all I know she loves gambling, is just no good at it.

Frowning, she prayed she would be getting away from this meeting soon while listening in to other rumors. As strange as it may sound, Shinobi society had an impressive rumor mill and even tough their job often included keeping their mouth close. She learned long ago that Civilians and Shinobi lived very much apart from each other, like two small microorganisms.

For figuring out where that Oasis is I should probably listen in on the civilian side, Shinobi descriptions of travel time tend to get screwed up due to individual travel speed. 

"What are you planning, Gene?" It asked next to her, and she shrugged her shoulders. 

"Nothing of importance, Itachi." 

"I can see the gears in your head turning, tell me later and take Shisui along." He muttered. 

"Why Shisui?" She asked back and earned a...

You are kidding me. sideways, glance at you in disbelieve look. 

She shrugs her shoulders and stuck out her tongue, earning a grunt from him. 

"Because Shisui is the only one that can actually talk some sense into you when you have that look on your face." He answered her, and she felt like she had become some kind of unique being for Itachi to say that, not knowing how to answer, she decided it was best to keep quiet. 

Sometimes silence was golden. 

The rest of the day passed in boredom as Gene tried to find out more about that gambling house with little success, a long shot it might be, but she was determined to do it by now. As they were alone, she waited till Tsukiko was walking down the hallway with a sour expression. 

"Tsukiko, I will be gone tonight.", she ran up to her commander, who looked at her with mild surprise. 

"Why?" She asked intrigued.

"I want to go look for Tsunade Senju." Gene explained." She is a known Gambler and there is a gambling house in an Oasis apparently not too far away." 

"For those Children?" 

Gene nodded. "Among other reasons."

"Alright, take Shisui with you, best you don't go alone and do not get caught, the Suna wouldn't be all that happy if one of us goes anywhere without company anywhere here."

"Okay.", Gene fell back and headed back to Shisui.

"Already heard it, when do we start?" (Shisui)

"Once we figured out which direction we have to head into." (Gene)

From there on, all four of them kept their ears open until Itachi slipped Gene a sheet of paper short before they were heading to sleep. 

Head North. Three hours.

Was written on it, thankful, she nodded at him and passed the Note to Shisui who skimmed over it before he burned it in his fingers with a flick of his hand. Now they knew where to head. 

As soon as the door was closed behind her, she changed into civilian clothes and slipped into a coat before covering her white hair with a shawl that covered also her features, leaving only the eyes to peek out. 

[Water Style. Vanishing]

She vanished from plain sight and made her leave through the window, walking along the wall to Shisuis room, knocking at it. 

Shisui opened his window and walked away, he had changed as well, she covered him in her Jutsu before he picked her up soundlessly and made his way outside. 

"It's been a while since it was just the two of us.", he muttered, and flew from one rooftop to the other. 

"That's true, almost as long as I have been last carried like this, you do know I am just as fast as you are at running now." she answered but did not resist him as he held her closer. 

"I know, I still like the feeling tough.", they ran past the guards and into the desert. "It is comfortable, even if you are heavier now." 

"Hey!", she protested, and he flicked her forehead. 

"It's good, you were a chopstick before." he said, and she made a pout but let him do as he wanted, just holding on to him. "Much better now, you could put on a little more."
