Up on the cliffside

[smallstepstopower]

Rolling out of his bedding hadn't brought him to an unanticipated level of comfort. He'd been on his way back to the village and had been in camp with his teammates after all. No, the jarring part was the mad scramble needed to avoid taking a headlong dive over a cliff that hadn't been there when he'd gone to sleep, and it was more than enough to immediately put him on the defensive, back straight as he slowly scanned his surroundings.

No teammates, no -forest-. Where the hell was he?

He shrugged:"Why would they tell me, 'tebbayo?" The only time he clashed with Orochimaru was when he turned four-tails and his memories of that fight are kinda blurry.

"Vegetables-smegetables. I don't eat them. You can if you want." He's pondering whether to smash fridge with rasengan or not.

[smallstepstopower]

"They talk about the White Fang, why wouldn't they talk about the Sannin?" He sighed after the words were out. "Clearly we didn't get as much of a reputation as I'd been led to believe then."

Shaking his head, he started toward the kitchen. "Help me take it outside."

[orange_dattebayo]

He sat up:"Oh you did get Sannin reputation, tebbayo. Only..." he looked away for a moment scratching back of his head, "...you did things that you did and went rogue, so they didn't talk about you."

He got up on his feet, nodding:"I can smash it if you want!" He sounded very eager to destroy the stinky abomination.

[smallstepstopower]

"Don't you dare." He stared at him. "That will just spread the smell."

[orange_dattebayo]

"Oh..." Dammit. He summed four bunshins:"Let's take that... that THING outside 'tebbayo." Others nodded and went to it, grabbing random sides and lifting it up.

[smallstepstopower]

Orochimaru's eyes went wide and he sprinted forward, just barely keeping the door from falling open. "Be careful!"

[orange_dattebayo]

"I am! I am!" All of them shouted at once as they maneuvered the fridge through the back door into the back yard.

[smallstepstopower]

He retreated once it was out and waved them to get it further from the house. "Out toward the trees. We can get it open with wind and use a hose to blast it out and see if it's salvageable."

[orange_dattebayo]

They all grumbled but did it, taking it as far away as he could and then putting it down, racing back towards the house. "I am nowhere near that thing," he muttered as he stood next to Orochimaru, the bunshins nodding.

[smallstepstopower]

He stared upward for a moment and ran through a couple seals before throwing his hand out, the hard wind enough to knock the thing open. "Right... now to find a hose. unless you know water techniques? The few I know would destroy it."

[orange_dattebayo]

He shook his head:"No, I don't know water techniques." He frowned, looking around:"Where can we find hose, dattebayo?"

[smallstepstopower]

He resisted the urge to swat at him. "Where would -you- keep a hose?"

[orange_dattebayo]

"How should I know? I live in apartment! I never needed one, 'tebbayo!"

[smallstepstopower]

He sighed and muttered something under his breath before heading for the house. "Fine, -I'll- find a hose, you look for a water spigot."

[orange_dattebayo]

"Allright!" He dashes off into the kitchen, turning the spigot there. There was a loud noise and he frowned at it before water burst out of it, splashing him all over.

"GAHHH! PFF--!!!" He ducked, all drenched. "Found.. one. GAH! Better make that hose long, tebbayo!"

[smallstepstopower]

He stared at him, then sighed. "Might as well practice your wind and dry out while I search."

[orange_dattebayo]

He got up and turned off the water, muttering under his breath. Sneaky faucets, spraying him all over. He takes off the jacket and his hitai ate, ruffling his hair to dry it out.

[smallstepstopower]

He shook his head and resumed his search, muttering unfavorable things under his breath. "At least the water works. Do the lights?"

[orange_dattebayo]

He frowned and he was just about to press the switch when he jumped away. "Ooooooh NO! I ain't pressing that, dattebayo!" What if electricity kills him!?

[smallstepstopower]

"Oh for the... Look for the hose." He moved inside and pointed him out the door.

[orange_dattebayo]

He grumbled under his breath and nodded, stomping outside, looking for a stupid hose.

[smallstepstopower]

He sighed, aggravated, but just went about making sure that nothing inside the house was going to eat them. They could sort out the legal details later.
