Umm ... well, it's this thing called the Philosopher's Stone. Have you ever heard of it?

No, I don't believe so. No in Konoha has ever mentioned it before.

Konoha?

... Um, well, I will do my very best to explain it!

The Philosopher's Stone is a source of great power - it can create things without using the principle of Equivalent Exchange, which is a very big concept in the art of alchemy. It is said that it can also grant immortality, which is why I want to bring it back to my family.

...Interesting. But, what is alchemy? Is it anything like ninjitsu?

Konoha is the name of my village, in the world I'm from.

No offense, but what does your family need immortality for? I don't know if I could stand it if certain members of my family were immortal. [scratched out, illegible]

Ninjutsu? No ... it is nothing like ninjas of any sort. ... Alchemy is ... well, it is a science. You can create things out of other things ... for example, you could create a bridge between a gap in the ground using the ground itself to span the distance, assuming the gap was short enough.

... I ... well, it's kind of embarrassing, but my family is the lowest clan in all of Xing ... by gaining the secret to immortality, we will gain power and be more in favor of the Emperor, you see?

Really? We can do that with some jutsus, like the clone jutsu, but the results are always temporary.

Hmm. That must be rough. Are you from a very large clan?

I see ... things made from alchemy last as long as the materials used do.

... Not really ... we are kind of dying out. It is a very sad thing.
