"I know Jiraiya was trying to figure out a way to protect the village better. He booby trapped the wind tunnel that brings us here. But I may actually know someone who can help." Tora said.

Tsunade smiled. "Really? How?"

"He's an inventor I met a few times over the course of my family's travels. He's a bit on the crazy side, but he is a genius I've never met the like of. He merges chakra and technology to invent... well, crazy things. And this island, being what it is, we need a crazy invention to protect it." The old man said smiling all the while, hoping that Tsunade would approve of his idea. He blushed brightly. He knew Tsunade was younger than him - though not as young as that illusion technique made her look - but she sure was pretty to look at.

Tsunade rubbed her chin. "Sounds good to me. How do you intend to find him?"

Tora smiled and put four rocks down on the marble floor. He made a series of signs and then touched them. The rocks became owls that flapped their wings and waited for his instructions.

"Find the inventor Kenichi Tenma. Give him and no one else this paper." Tora held out a small piece of paper to each of the owls.

Tsunade frowned. "How are they going to find him?"

"Ah, but they're not ordinary owls, they're tracking owls. They can find anyone once I give them a name. But I made four to send them in the four different directions to maximize our chance for success anyway." Tora replied.

"OK good," Tsunade said. "Now about your eyes fixating on my breasts…" she glared menacingly at Tora who yelped and scampered away.

Tsunade smiled and went back to her work, planning the clinic for Tengoku.
