Sweet And Sour Nectar

The Quaint Town of Kinomi no Toshi

I'm sure at least once in your visits to any grocery store during your entire life, you have purchased or sampled the berry harvest of the small little town of Kinomi no Toshi. Though its location is unknown to most and a sought after 'dream' land to visit, the few outsider that have found it enjoyed their stay and worked the holiday annually in to their schedule.

Nestled in a forest of the Southern Fire Country, the paths become thin and lonely to track down this abode. It's small population a shaving less than fifty, now reduced to absolute zero. There were reports of a smoky streak across the sky to the south of Konohagakure no Sato, in less than two hours time, the bright, unnatural gleam in the sky, illuminating cerulean hues and pluming smoke came to a halt, investigation teams arrived too late; all that had remained was ash.

Some suspect a natural disaster; a sign of th End. Many activists in the world began to spread their own views, scaring some and enthralling others. Some cry arson, while others claim it was a casualty of war. No accounts breathe truth, for all evidence and witnesses that we know of are ash on the wind.

A moment of silence and observation for those who have tasted the sweetly sour delicacy that grew in the area and exported to the world known as the Amaisawa berry. The fire had taken th fruit along with the citizens, what is on the shelves of markets are the only berries or jelly left, enjoy them as long as you can.

This report is several days after the incident, because of the solitude of the town, after the fire had died, investigation was not top priority, but rather was the safety of the World's nations and it's children, for it's becoming more and more obvious of the birth of rebels. It is advised to keep traveling to a minimum, traveling within the same country is the safest, even more within the Hidden Villages.
