Kazuki's last encounter with the Steward had been a strange one to say the least. Sousuke revealed to have a sentient sword. Shiori was, in fact, the long lost Mother Suna. A revered figure of Suna's mythology. An Ancient that had helped the ancestors of Sand's modern ninjas in their struggle against the unforgiving elements of the Wind Country. But the so called Mother Suna was not as benevolent as history had painted her. In fact, she was quite the opposite. Men and Ancients had waged war on the dawn of Humanity and Shiori wished to resurrect her long deceased brothers. Sousuke's soul was damaged and the spirit on his sword, if a spirit it was, had been unmade only be reformed into a black doberman. Everything was quite confusing to someone as new to Sunagakure as the Overlord of the Senju Clan. To add to the Chaos, the White Wolf had strong suspicions that he could be part Ancient, which considering the level of animosity between that race and mankind, lead to a not so enticing aspiration. To top it off, the Steward Kazekage had recently revealed the existence of Orders. Journeyman, Oracles and Rangers were there for people to join and master. The Silvery Haired Man was uncertain if he should join one, and he was even more clueless to which one he was more suited.
And thus he had decided a quick visit to everyone friendly neighbor Takahashi Sousuke was in order. He was going to discuss with the Purple Haired Man everything about recent events, ask counsel about which order he should align himself with and then study the Steward's sword as he had requested. The former Sennin's chilly aura was quite tame today. Nothing could be sense from it, as if it had never been real at all. Of course it could all be attributed to the general weather conditions. It was only noon, but the sky had been gradually becoming darker and darker. The zenith had been reached and one could assume it was already evening. Lightning occasionally lightened the darkened sky and thunder roared freely and untamed. The last time Kazuki was with Sousuke, thunder was also present, but back then it was due to the presence of the Thunder Prince. Today, the Overlord had no hand in the upcoming storm.
The White Wolf found the Steward standing beneath the porch of a building staring at the sky. He assumed this was Sousuke's official office, forge or laboratory. Regardless of what the house's function was, this is where they would talk.
