A Flash of Wind

Sunagakure. Capital village of the Land of Wind, which resides in the biggest desert in the known world. Its brutal heat is unforgiving, and without proper transportation, is a killer. Nomads have helped people travel through the Land of Wind for centuries, when Sunagakure was nothing but a collection of huts in the middle of the desert, sitting on the largest underground oasis in the Land of Wind. Rumors fly around the village day by day, but the biggest rumor is a particular couple have been investigating goings on in the village that aren't particularly positive. Shishi Honpou, former covert op and someone who has firsthand knowledge of what those two were looking for, and Inochi Yamanaka, her cherished companion, find themselves within the confines of the village, looking for these two, hoping to get some answers. But their search yielded nothing, having been told the couple had already departed from Sunagakure. So the two head towards an inn to rest and relax while they plan their next move.
