Natori was calm the first time Ryu approached him. Though he had remained utterly silent. The reason wasn't rudeness. It had just seemed his sparring session hadn't quite finished. So he waited. He was thinking. What could he say? What could he do? How much should he divulge? He was a little unsure overall to be quite honest. He still didn't even know if he could trust anyone. Even IF he could trust them, who would he actually like? He sighed. This wasn't his idea of a good time, nor would it ever be. Still he couldn't dwell on the subject much longer as the shaking ground and opening waterfall brought him back to his senses. The sparring had finished and the young man from before was back. Well, he could at least introduce himself as they walked into the cave. Or maybe it was a tunnel... Oh well... Point was that he could do as Ryu said. 

"My name is Natori. Natori Abe." He spoke in a rather calm, if somewhat monotone, voice. He was at a calm pace choosing not to stick to the walls. They could have been lined with traps. Even if they weren't he and his sand could defend more easily in the wider area. Though if Ryu had kept close, he'd likely have protected him too. He had no reason to trust these people, but he also had no reason to let them die if they went south. They could be bad, or good. Only time would tell. "As you can probably tell, I'm from Sunagakure. And as one might suspect of the Village Hidden in the Sand, I possess the one-tail beast. Though from what I've heard he prefers his name, Shukaku." He sighed. He had no real basis if that was his actual name or not, nor did he know if the beast preferred it. After all, he'd never actually had any contact with him. He only had information from stories. 

Still, once again he was pulled from his thoughts as they neared the end of the tunnel. It was much more than he'd expected. The instructors, the temple. It was rather overwhelming, though it didn't show. This could turn out to be much more interesting then he'd though. Especially, since he could possibly learn more here than he could anywhere else in the ninja world.
