It had just been a few days of dray's stay in kirigakure no sato and he had been making some enquiries on things that had been baffling him. The man in his dream which was claymore, the man he believed killed his parents had shown his ability to use the ice release style and to dray's understanding, that technique was one that required a cool origin and for that, kirigakure was the best guess. So, since he was in kiri, he took the opportunity to ask around.

Going through the village all morning and asking discreetly in other not to cause suspicion, he finally got a useful information from a village member. All the member said was the aisu clan. The clan with ice abilities and he also directed dray to a temple outside of kirigakure no sato but still in the land of water. Following the directions, dray headed to the temple. As usual, he was armed with shurikens, kunais and senbons.

Upon getting to the said location, dray was a bit confused as he began to check his surroundings to see if he was right and of course he was. He followed every directions and here was where it led him to. Standing in front of him was a building in ruins or a temple rather. It looked centuries old. He was dead sure nobody had been here in ages. So, why the hell would someone direct him here.. All the same, he wanted to be sure he did not miss an important clue.
Taking gentle steps and being conscious of his surroundings, dray proceeded to enter into the temple. As he stepped on what looked like a square- shaped foot mat, the object pressed downward as two senbons each were shot from the walls on dray's right and left side. Two senbons were headed for his neck veins while the other two were positioned for somewhere between his ribs. Vital points that would slow down a defenseless shinobi. The projectiles were shot at brilliant sppeed as if there was an extraordinary force launching them. Dray did not move from his position as the projectiles hit his kimono armour and fell to the ground.
Lifting his leg off of the square shaped object he had stepped on, more projectiles that were now focused on his lower body were shot out but as they clashed with the green armour, they simply fell to the ground as dray folded his arms and sighed.. That attack would have rendered a civilian useless..he thought.
What had just happened intrigued him the more. It give him a reason. A purpose to find out what exactly was hidden in such ruins..

Thinking of his next line of action, he was not aware of how what next could happen. His armour was not yet improved to the stage of blocking higher ranked weapons so he surely needed to be careful. Dray looked at the temple. It had little light in it with broken stones, dusts, dirt and cobwebs decorating the passages. The place sure looked creepy. Little wonder no one was around. The ruins probably needed someone to pick on. If that was what was happening, then so be it. Dray was not going to give up here not even without finding the least bit of what he was looking for..

Closing his legs together and performing the tiger handseals, the pieces of leaves lying all over the place surrounded dray. It was the new jutsu he was learning. The nature sensing technique. A technique that utilized nature's gift to detect anything withing seven metres of dray but the jutsu was not perfect yet. Dray felt like he perfected things right in the face of danger so maybe this was the exact time to master the nature sensing technique. Releasing the handseal, the leaves that had now formed a circle around him dispersed into tiny bits that were invisible to the eye as they formed a circular barrier seven metres away from dray. These tiny bits of leaves would create a thinging sound in dray's ear that onyl him can hear whenever something comes in contact with them. Now, he had quite a sense of safety while walking these ruins. Dray proceeded into the ruins of the temple. All seemed safe until he moved about ten metres forward and taking a right turn. That was when he heard a low thinging sound in his left ear. He looked around to see nothing yet as he moved further and the danger seemed to be getting far more into his territory. Moving two metres forward, the sound in his ear was deafning as he searched frantically for the danger only to see a thin ninja wire below him. As expected, he raised his right leg above the wire and followed by his left leg. Triggering the real trap, barrages of kunais, senbons and shurikens were unleashed from all angles of his range. Quickly Withdrawing two kunais from their safe, he parred off most of the weapons directed at his face as his kimono armour did most of the work.

Releasing a short breath from his mouth, dray saw the cause of the problem. The trap itself was to cross over the first ninja wire to encounter another ninja wire that triggered the previous weapons. Feeling fustrated, dray cut the ninja wire with one of the kunais in his hands only to unleash another set of traps. Within the walls, he could hear triggers, locks fitting into place and wire's releasing, moving upward and downward like pulleys.. Suddenly, the bells of challenge was rang, the fires of danger lit. Dray heard a thinging sound in his ears as he looked backwards to see three spears that came out of nowhere heading straight for him.
Snapping out of suprise and increasing his foot steps, he ran forward as he stepped on something else but he did not care. With the spears still after him, large blades fell from the roof with thick chains holding them in place. They were swinging from left to right. About three of them. Narrowing his escape and calculating their periods, the spears after dray seemed to be controlled as they followed his every move. On a second thought, that seemed to help as dray flipped over the first broad blade with one spear behind him clashing against the blade and falling to the ground with two other spears still after him. Slidding beneath the second broad sword, the second spear hooked the chain of the sword cutting it and letting it to fall just few inches away from dray's head. That was a luckly one. Now, he was faced with one more spear and a swinging broad blade. Analysing the situation perfectly, before getting to the third swinging broad blade, dray lowered his upper body backwards in a quick motion as the spear after him swiftly soared above him as dray thrust out a hand to grab the spear and throw it toward the chain of the broad blade causing it to stick within the still swinging chain. Calculating perfectly, dray waited for the right moment as he ran forward and jumped on the bendy spear that shooted him upwards. Turning upside down in the air, dray gathered chakra to his feet as he planted his feet into the roof top. He would not be troubled for a while if he walked above and with his sensing jutsu too..

With chakra gathered under his feet as was the common academy technique, dray proceeded forward as he kept his eyes glued on what was forward. The passage still had little light in it. So dray had to some what strain his eyes to see properly. He took another right turn and then a left turn to a very narrow path. On the walls of these path, he could see various drawing. Drawings that were definetly older than him. The engraving on the walls were perfect and beautiful. Everything from here on looked like they were carved out by angelic beings. Dray felt attached to this place. Leaving that passage, what was left was yet another left turn to a much wider passage and a more different one. Looking beneath, dray could see a fast current of water rushing below. These current could sweep one off of his feet if care is not taken. It was a wise decision for dray to walk on the roof top. Still on this path of flowing water beneath, dray could now see torches on the walls. How the fire on this torches were not quenched was something to be worried about. From the beginning, dray had established the fact that people were rarely around here so who lit the torches and how they were still on gave dray more reason to be extremely cautious.

Stepping gently and walking on the rooftop, dray was faced with a black gate. Nobody in their right senses would open such a gate directly and for this reason, dray had to find another way to open the gate. His clone could not open the door as it had no substance. Besides, he did not want to bring down the rest of the building unless, he could have used his earth missle technique.. Getting down from the roof top, dray landed on the flowing water still with chakra under his feet.. Opening his legs and building up chakra within himself.."SUITON:BAKUSUI SHOHA!".. He said spitting out a great volume of water from his mouth that barged open the huge gates. This was another of his jutsu that was being practiced. As the gates barged open, various projectiles both big and small were exchanged within the entrance followed by explosives here and there. After dray was sure everything had died down, he walked into the spacious room with everything looking well kept though dust did not seem to escape the roo. In the center of the room was a large table with two large books on it.
Both books were closed but as dray stepped in front of the table, a cold chill filled the room as a silent breeze blew across the room and opened one of the books.
The books heading was bolded with the word AISU. Dray took time to carefully read through the book and closed it as he walked out of the temple ruins unhindered.
