| - Otonami and Ryuka were out of the hospital (Ryuka still had at least 5 bandages while Otonami had his right hand still bandaged), and were walking on the alleyways of Konoha. "So, how's Indo? He's pretty much depressed of missions from Tsunade from what I heard." Otonami asked as he was walking. "Like I keep tabs on him a lot." Ryuka replied. "But if he's sick of the missions, he's probably off training." "Eh, anyways, here's my house." Otonami pointed it to Ryuka. It had a broken door and the windows were shut. "About the broken door, my sensei should says that he should fix it...but he hasn't came to fix it. Anyways, let's go in." Otonami said as he looked at the broken door. Ryuka stepped inside, and looked around. "Nice place you got." He commented. "Yeah, thanks." As Otonami went up. "Hmm, where's Shikamaru-Sensei? Shouldn't he be here by now?" Otonami then looked at a confused Ryuka. "Oh yeah, time to fill you up on something." Otonami then sits down and Ryuka also sits down. "Anyways, Shikamaru and my teammates came in (by breaking the door) and we had a conversation of about my past. After that, they started to question of the objects I receive during my past and Shikamaru immediately got interested on this strange Red Star Crystal that I got. He immediately finds out that are strange carvings in it, and went to analyze them. So, ever since then, I battled you and Indo." Otonami then relaxed back on his chair. "Hn. What is this 'Red Star Crystal'? By the way you're talking, it must be very important." Ryuka asked curiously, taking his own seat on a couch. "That's the thing, I don't know...and, to know how I got it, I don't want to answer that yet." Someone then entered inside the house and coming up the stairs was Shikamaru Nara. "Oh, it's you..." Otonami said, and he was prepared to get his Sonic Blades out. "Great news, I found the encryption here." Shikamaru pulls out the red star crystal and puts it on the table. Ryuka leaned a bit, staring at the crystal. "Well, not to be insulting here, but it doesn't look like much." He said, observing its red glow. "Well, wait 'til you hear the translations. Now then." Shikamaru sat on a table. "This encryption here, seems to be very old but we found it on universal translations on stars." Otonami seems to be a little surprised. "Stars? What's up with that?" Shikamaru then continues, ignoring Otonami. "Now then, this is what the encryption said." Shikamaru points at the middle. "The power of the stars reawakens with five elements of stars. THE FIRE STAR." Shikamaru says, and then he points to the circumference of the middle circle. "The five element lights of stars will be rekindled." Then Shikamaru points to the points of the stars. "The first star, the Fire Star. The next star is at a place of water, in a cave, of very little islands." Shikamaru then goes back a bit, remaining Otonami and Ryuka dumbfounded. Ryuka was indeed confused. But he chose not to say anything until he had an actual question, and continued to watch and listen. But somebody had to yell. "What the hell!?" Otonami shouted out. "How are we supposed to solve riddles!?" Shikamaru then puts down Otonami and says: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down. I'm not done yet. It's a drag to control you, you know that?" Shikamaru says and Otonami sits in anger. Ryuka put a hand to his mouth, chuckling at Otonami's antics. He then looked at Shikamaru. "Go on."
