Synn moved quickly in the night. He was done with the village of Suna. in many ways it didnt seem to have a place for him. The Leadership was slow and the Nin where slackers. Most of the high ranking Shinobi where nobodies and the rest seemed to lack any real passion. He had however heard stories of Konoha so he had packed and in the night began to sneak out. His agile feet carry him across the dried barren lands of the cold desert in the night. His one good eye keeping look out as he moves as quickly as he can. Synn hopes he had made it out as unnoticed as he thought. His Genjutsu had been some help in that. Still he was wary to keep to the shadows and out of plain sight. no telling how far Suna had influence really.

Still Konoha was a couple of days away even at this pace. And he doubted a warm welcome. He was merely A genin and rumor had it that even the Genin there where stupidly strong. He could only hope for a warm welcome and a place to train. Who knows.. maybe they needed training against Genjutsu.

Synn kept moving though. He had no valuable Intel on Suna other then the general lay out of the place. Which he doubted would really do him any good. However Konoha was relatively close. His one good eye looks to his side as he senses something moving in his direction. There was a chance it was coincidence but being this far out at his rank. That was bound to be hard to explain. So quickly Synn moved over to a boulder and concentrates on studying it. Memorizing as much of the surface as possible. Then he would focus his chakra and bring forth the memory of every detail focusing on the exact details of the memory and leaning back against the boulder. Where he stood before now was just the boulder. His genjutsu was now in place. A hidden presence technique. Who would of thought it would become so useful so soon?

Synn keeps quiet and controls his breathing as he watches with his one good eye. He had to press flat back against the boulder just to get the jutsu off in time. A passing patrol from Suna moves past him quickly. Like death they moved so close to him that Synn held his breath in fear that one might feel the warmth of it on the skin of his neck. How bad was his luck to have a patrol obviously not of a peaceful nature pass him on the night of his escape? If he ever had to do this again he would simply have to make sure that he had knowledge of patrol routes.

Synn would wait there for a time as the patrol had passed just in case one stopped for a leak or something. Last thing he needed was to be caught trying to hide from them. However once he was sure they where gone Synn begins to move a little faster then before. His red hair trailing at the speed he was moving. Konoha was his best chance to do something with himself. Determination begins to fill him with adrenaline before another problem pops up into his head. How was he to convince the Hokage that it was worth letting him stay? Surely he would appear as a traitor to Suna. Then again he doubted anyone would notice he had disappeared for a few days. He already lived on his own and he had no squad to speak of. No duties assigned to him. Really he was just kind of a bum with some intelligence. Great. He had so much to offer after all he thinks sarcastically.

Synn kept moving through out the first night. There was no reason to stop really. His body was capable of enduring the punishment and getting caught now meant facing punishment. For now he had probably crossed the border. Now it was time to avoid any major routes of travel. Getting caught by the enemy was less likely now but getting captured by the locals was even less friendly. Synn pauses a moment as he realizes he had just thought of his home as the enemy. That alone seemed crude. His family must have noticed him being gone by now. Slowly his mood falls as he travels through the woods. Coming across a clearing just as the rain began to fall.

It was odd how sad he felt then. Ezra would be devastated. Regardless Synn stops in the center of the clearing as the rain begins to pour sending streaks of water down his cheeks. Plastering his hair to his head. He wondered if the rain was there to give him the tears he did not possess. It was time to let go now. Slowly he takes off his head band. It was time to bury who he used to be. The night sky thundered as the rain soaked him to the bone. Still he reaches down scooping mud to the side and then dirt. Before folding the head band and burying it there on the storm filled night. That seemed to make it feel official. He was now a run away from Suna,

Synn kept moving through the storm. After all he had a destination in mind and he had to get there as soon as possible. Konoha was surely less then a days travel by now. Synn sighs as he felt his muscles burning with the fire of how hard he was stressing them. Moving out of the trees he makes his way to a secluded looking for a place to sleep. Finding a hidden spot between two rocks Synn collects some hay. Placing it there he makes a make shift bed for the nap. Settling into it he finnaly drifts off to sleep.

Upon waking Synn would quickly notice it was already night. He had managed to sleep all through the day. He hadn’t expected that. If no one had been searching for him before surely he needed to double time it now. Rising from his position he surveys the area. Upon not noticing anyone he begins to move at a decently fast pace. Under normal circumstances he would have noticed the cold but with his body in motion the sweat he was working up seemed to counteract the cold.

Still he managed to make excellent time to get to Konoha. By morning he was at the front gate and there he stops. He had to go about this logically now. By being within the village he would be too deep into Konoha territory for it into be worth chasing him. It was time to prepare his arrival.
