[Accidental Voice] Through Hard Work and Determination

[suiken_no_yajuu]

[sudden sound of static, followed by an exuberant voice talking rapidly, but slightly far off]

This is the strangest--Ningame, how do you think this works!?!?

[soft muttering, then a loud exclamation]Oh, oops. I did not mean to turn it on. I wonder what I should do... Etto, it is supposed to be for--oh, here it says 'voice'--what does that mean

...I'm afraid there isn't anyone fitting that description in this place, as far as I'm aware.

[Sasori most definitely would have remembered seeing Gai in Anatole, considering that in Kannagara he was an individual that was...difficult to overlook.]

I take it you're from Konoha as well, then.

Re: [voice]

[suiken_no_yajuu]

How did you know!?! I am, indeed, from Konoha!!! And--you are sure that Gai-sensei is not here? [heavy sigh Arigatou for your help.

[voice]

[eternalscorpion]

You're carrying a message from the Hokage, and your sensei is Gai, who's a Konoha shinobi. It wasn't particularly difficult to extrapolate from that.

You're in luck, as there are a number of individuals from your village here who I'm sure will be willing to assist you.

[Sasori is not one of them, on either count.]

[sound is a little fuzzy due to the volume Lee is speaking at]Hontou?!?!? Thank you very much for your assistance! I greatly appreciate it!

[Long pause. Oh god. It's Lee. Naruto would know that voice anywhere - regardless of introduction. He just stares for a while.]

I don't think... you stumbled on this place, Fuzzy-brows.

[Some more silence.] Don't think Gai-sensei is here either.

[suiken_no_yajuu]

[sound of a surprised cry] Na-Naruto-kun!!?!?!?

I-is that you?!?! Why are you here? And how did we end up here???

[heavy sigh]

I guess he really isn't here then.

[ video ]

[couragetodare]

[And a wince. Right. He'd forgotten that Lee could be loud!] Yeah, yeah it's me! Dunno why m'here, no one who ends up here does. You probably came through the door, same as the rest of us. Oy! You all right!?

[Have a pause.] Who? Gai-sensei? Mn. Not that I can feel anyway. [Might be worth looking though now, just in case.]

[audio]

[suiken_no_yajuu]

[soft sound of muttering] Sou desu. I did come through a door! It is very strange! I would like very much to return to my mission now! I cannot fail! If I do, I will do ten thousand laps around Konoha!!!

[another sigh] Hai, hai. But... if I do not know where I am, I cannot find Gai-sensei. And then he will not be able to find me.

Gai? Hey, I know Gai! He was always picking fights with Kakashi and all! Haven't seen him around here though. Geez, he had huge eyebrows. You sound just like him though!

[suiken_no_yajuu]

[silence for a long moment, filled with static]

That is definitely my sensei! How do you know my sensei??? Etto, I do not mean to be rude, but who are you? I have never seen you in Konoha before.

[dattebamato]

Pfft! Everyone knows Gai, y'know! Hard to miss that guy!

Eh? Me?

[She beams proudly and straightens her posture.]

I'm Uzumaki Kushina!

Re: video;

[suiken_no_yajuu]

He is the most youthful sensei!!!

Eh? Uzumaki? I have a friend named Uzumaki Naruto! Do you know him? Are you related? I was unaware that Naruto-kun had any relatives still living! That is most wonderful to hear!!!

voice;

[yellowkamikaze]

[Knows a Gai.]

[But, important scroll you say?]

A scroll?

Re: voice;

[suiken_no_yajuu]

[staticy silence] Hai, but I am not at liberty to discuss it! It is a matter of utmost security and importance...

[after a long pause] And I do not know what the contents are, nor can I access it.

Re: voice;

[yellowkamikaze]

I suppose it isn't too important right now considering where you've ended up.

Gai is your sensei?

Re: voice;

[suiken_no_yajuu]

Do--do you also know Gai-sensei!?!??!

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

[... oh dear. That exuberance is hard to miss.]

Lee-san? Are you all right?

Re: [Voice]

[suiken_no_yajuu]

[the sound of staticy silence followed by something hitting the ground and more fuzzy static, before a low cry is heard]

Sa-Sakura-san!!?!?!?!? I-is that you!??!?!?!

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

[Pause, and then a huff of laughter. Lee never changes.]

Yes, it's me. You're okay, right?

Re: [Voice]

[suiken_no_yajuu]

I am all right, Sakura-san! I am sure that no matter what I will figure this strange situation out and accomplish my mission!!! I am very glad to see you--anou, hear your voice!

Are you all right? Have you been here long?
