1 Building an Empire [Lamya, Plot, No Kill] Sun Feb 01, 2015 1:45 pm
Uchiha Tenzō
S-rank
Building an Empire, one stone after another.
It all happened around 11:37 PM, when the celestial sun had already went towards his slumber, fading behind the towering mountain which kept watching over Konohagakure no Sato. A special meaning was given towards this peak by the villagers, one which made it more than a simple part of this beautiful landscape. The history of this village was also imprinted upon this unique landmark; there were no words written upon this monumental object, however, the faces of the most well-known leaders which once possessed the tile of Hokage had been carved upon it. Not only history, but the amount of symbolism that stood beneath this mountain was phenomenal; these were the people who watched over the village, in its brightest and most darkest times. However, with the Will of Fire being passed down to each Hokage and then spread amongst the villagers by them, Konohagakure had managed to last even throughout the most darkest years known to man.
The reflective sound which shivered between the walls was getting louder and louder by each passing second, stopping only when those ceaseless and lethargic footsteps which rattled down the hallway were finally placed to a rest. A few knocks were given against the wooden door which belonged to Lamya’s bedroom, before a familiar voice took down the silence one more; easy to recognize, even though it sounded a bit muffled towards the person which stood inside the room. “Lady Risu, may I intrude for a couple of seconds? It’s me, Tenzō.” was the question posed against the wooden door, on a calm, but yet worrying tone. Due to the pressure which bestowed upon his shoulders, the Uchiha repeated the same mistake which he did on the first day that marked his enrolment towards the Orochi Lady; entrance had once more happened without awaiting for an answer.
Once the door behind him was sealed shut, the few rays of moonlight which peeked inside the room were finally capable of shaping up that skittish expression which took over the Uchiha’s face. Both of those eerie and ebony eyes gazed upon her for only a brief moment, before that head was immediately lowered against the ground once the upper half of his body decided to take a formal bow in order to excuse his late intrusion. “I am really sorry for coming at a late hour like this, however, there are a few things which have an urgent manner and need to be discussed.” the Uchiha said while having that head of his directed towards the ground. A couple of more words followed after, in which he explained briefly the situation which had just occurred around him, just a few moments ago.
What happened twenty minutes ago...
Tenzō was lurking all over the streets of Konohagakure, until a few whispering voices managed to steal his attention; they were echoing throughout the nearby alley which was located alongside the Orochi's Compound. On those streets, two individuals were caught in a somehow hearable conversation, due to the fact that it was quite fiery and both of them had a harsh tone beneath their words. With that curiosity of his peaked, the young Uchiha relocated himself around the wall of a nearby building in order to have a much better understanding on their conversation; however, he did not like what they were discussing. Both of these individuals were unknown towards him, as he never once saw their faces within the village, nor compound. Due to the dim light that was bestowed upon the garden, the raven-haired man wasn’t capable of discerning and kind of significant features on their faces.
“I can’t believe that you’re this incompetent. We had a clean chance there, and you blew it. Couldn’t you find more capable beings for it?” were the harsh words which erupted like a volcano from the man’s mouth, while that face of his turned red. He appeared to be somewhere around his thirties, however, due to the dank night, that Uchiha might have been deceived and probably misjudged the man’s appearance. Standing at a reasonable height, the bulky man walked from a corner to another while keeping both of his hand entangled and behind his back. His description might have seem familiar towards the ANBU Captain, especially if Lamya was accustomed with the man’s gestures, although they might have been described poorly by the young lad; nevertheless, the man was known as Itsukuchi Hataro. A man known to rarely succumb towards his own emotions, however, he seemed quite irritated in that moment.
“Keep your tone down, you know that I am risking a lot to be out in the streets, especially like this.” the blonde woman said while darting her eyes against the compound’s gates. "Do do not worry about my part of the plan. I will make sure that the heir will finally get what she deserves, until then, you head back and make sure that the preparations are ready. The whole Orochi clan won’t even see us coming, especially since they have no clue about my whereabouts. They will be shocked once they find out where I have been hiding this whole time.” were the immediate words that followed after Hataro’s remark. However, due to the angle, the Uchiha wasn’t capable of seeing this person at all. There were only two noticeable features, first being the slender shadow that was casted upon the ground, and the second one was given by the voice which seemed to belong to a woman, despite her tone being rather deep.
Just after those words were finished, an utter silence had forsaken the place around Tenzō, forcing him to take another peek around the alley. To his surprise, both of those individuals were no longer there, and thus he waltzed back towards the compound.
Back into the present.
