The Land of Tea is a small country near the Land of Fire which consists of two separate islands on which Sanroku arrived onto the one that did not have the meteor. It is unknown if the Land of Tea has any ninja inhabitants, but this is unlikely, due to severely easy manner in which different village shinobi and missing ninja infiltrated the village. Sanroku wasn’t there for long before finding out the reason for the islands being named the Land of Tea, and it was certainly because of its tea-houses that Sanroku was dashing passed in order to get to the right island. It appears like the meteor has already been on land for a few days and even the inhabitants from the opposing island stand in aww as they stare at the glow appearing on the other side. The villagers of that side of the island fled the scenes before the shinobi got to model their prowess in order to survive another day, seeing as they were seemingly human with no ability to mold chakra or physical combat. Because the villagers of that side fled to the next island, they told the inhabitants about the treasure in the other side. Exactly what was glowing, and one man said more than hastily, “It is GOLD!”
The young shinobi was running as fast as he can in order to follow the bright light that everyone is starring at, but when Sanroku heard this, he had to stop. One of his most favorite things in the world just happens to be gold. If the prize that the Raikage was talking about was a meteor made of pure gold, then the possibility for Kumogakures prosperity would be final. Sanroku appeared right in front of the villager that was speaking out in the mist of the chaos and without hesitation Sanroku grabbed him and jumped in order to land on top of one of the famous tea houses. After landing, Sanroku through the man onto the floor like he didn’t care about him, but nevertheless lightly on his bottom though as to not hurt him. The civilian grabbled in fear quickly as he noticed that Sanroku wasn’t able to be identified by facial feature at all since he was sporting the Jabbawockee Mask given to him by the Raikage in order to enter the ANBU training program. The young shinobi had his Kurai Katana that was grabbed for this specified mission in the Land of Tea, was still strapped to his back, but because of its size, it wasn't easily concealed thus it was more than easily spotted. To finish off his apparel, Sanroku had the Chūnin Flak Jacket which he designed himself with no insignia determining what village it came from thus making it that much more difficult to determine what village he represents. The reason why the civilian was in fear was known in his next words. “Are… Are… You ANBU? Are you here to kill me? I didn’t see anything. I was lying!” Before Sanroku got to say anything the man spoke again, “I said all of that for fame. I swear.”
Sanroku then walked toward the man slowly but surely getting there. He then bent over acknowledging the guy in his small stature due to him being on his ass, Sanroku took out his hand in order to help him up. “An ally of mine is coming soon. For your sake, I hope you weren’t lying. I know ANBU protocol in this situation might involve abducting you in order for you to guide us to find the prize since you witnessed it. But not today my friend.” The civilian looked relieved to know that Sanroku wasn’t going to attempt anything harsh right now, so he happily stuck out his hand to grab Sanroku, so that Sanroku can help him up. When the villager got on his feet he told Sanroku that he knew why he took him, Sanroku then explained how he must know now why he must tell Sanroku everything he knows. The man agreed and they sat in the roof for less than 10 minutes as Sanroku got information on the location of the rock since the man lived near, the villager also got to tell Sanroku of the headbands he seen on the way here, so it gave information of the villages that have arrived thus far. The man doesn’t know shinobi by name but it was alright, he got enough information out of him. Sanroku then said bye to the man as he helped him back to where he was standing, so that he may preach once more about the things he has witnessed. But people treated him like a maniac, not listening to his words. Since it was hard to believe that Gold can fall from the sky, yet Sanroku has more of an opened mind since he considers that a just enough reason for the crash zone to be glowing. While standing atop of the Tea House, Sanroku starred at the light, waiting for Crono to arrive.
