[Voice / Action : Forest, 3/17] Arrival
Kai! [Sudden absence from the battlefield prompts Chouji's immediate attempt to dispel an illusion.]
Why won't the genjutsu break? It must be too strong. [Not to mention that genjutsu and fine chakra control are not his strongest skills. Pain should also work. It's hardly the preferred method for breaking illusions, but it's more reliable for anyone whose chakra control isn't near perfect. He reaches for a kunai, but none is available. Unarmed and unarmored in a genjutsu that could be used to do pretty much anything to him; somehow that isn't surprising. Chouji is starting to worry though. He crouches down, snatches a jagged rock, and slices open his left palm. Still nothing.
Unwilling to simply sit and wait, he pushes off lightly, leaping into the trees. Chouji conceals himself as well as he can among the branches, only now noticing the journal lying open on the ground below. Shivering from the cold, a twinge of pain between his shoulder blades makes Chouji twitch, wondering if the attack he's been braced for is finally coming. His eyes widen as he looks over his shoulder to see a pair of feathered wings. A little desperate now, Chouji makes one final attempt at breaking free. He stabs his thigh with the rock. Still trapped, he resigns himself to staying here until someone manages to free him, letting the stone fall back to the ground. Chouji keeps watch for any further signs of danger on the off chance the genjutsu's caster slips and gives something away.]
[Chouji can heard over the journal; he will pick it up as soon as he receives an answer. He can also be found in the forest or anywhere in the common areas of town after he eventually makes it there.]

"Thank you." Chouji takes a deep breath. "I'll be glad to see him too." Words can't express just how glad.
"Yes. If my team is all here, I'm happy I am too. I wouldn't want them here without me any longer than they had to be." And Asuma is here. That would be worth the kidnapping, Chouji thinks.
[Voice]
But he continues with a more light-hearted smile.
"If our teammates and mentors continue to be brought into this world... this village may very well become a new Konoha!" he said with a laugh. It's probably as close to a joke as Lee gets.
[Voice]
Chouji chuckles. "I don't know if that would be good," he says, not sure he likes the idea of everyone pulled away from home, just in case time unexpectedly starts moving again back there. Unless the whole village were here, they would still need some people to protect their home. He's sure that having Gai-sensei around would be greatly appreciated by Lee, though. "But I'm grateful for the part of Konoha that did manage to make it here. And Suna."
[Voice]
"But you are correct, Chouji-kun. Instead of focusing on the absence of those not here, we should treasure the presence of those we do have. With Temari-san's presence, we do have some representation of the outside shinobi world!"
[Voice]
He smiles. Lee is also good at staying positive. "I'll definitely do that. This would've been a lot worse without all of you to help."
