He released a sigh as he finished packing the few items he had chosen to take with him in to the beige backpack he had bout a few days ago, preparing himself for his journey ahead. Though he did not really have a reason to leave the village, or at least a reason that was a pressing concern, Seiryū had decided on his volition, that since the majority of the shinobi world would be gathering in Kumogakure no Sato, he would go as well, solely to watch the exams. Now a chuunin, he could not participate in the exams, but simply watching them would provide him with some form of entertainment as his current status in Suna revolved around menial missions, training, and do nothing. At least in Kumo, he’d be able to do all three while being able to see the exams as well.

One thing that certainly piqued his interest was that there would be a couple of Sunagakure no Sato genin participating and he’d like to see their capabilities compared to his own. There had been one individual he came across at a weapon shop, one who said they would likely have no challenger that could beat them once they had the weapon that they needed. That short conversation, one that didn’t even last five minutes, was enough incentive for the Imada to consider heading over to Kumogakure no Sato to watch the entirety of the exams. Well, not entirely that conversation, though it did play a part in Seiryū’s decision making process. The major factor that was driving him to simply spectate was the amount of people, the diversity of the fighting styles, and the variety of people there was enough to entice Seiryū to go to the Land of Lightning.

Packing up the last bit of clothing he assumed he would need once in Kumo, Seiryū threw the backpack over his right shoulder, his arm sliding through the strap. Only deciding to slide the sole strap for now, Seiryū pulled it down, causing his white t-shirt to wrinkle ever so slightly. Patting the pockets of his khakis, to make sure he had everything he would need, Seiryū slipped on his black combat boots, the only pair of footwear he would be taking along with him. His short self-inspection informed him that he had everything he would need for the time being, though he would need to pick up something as he headed out of the village.

His trip through the village to pick up his needed items was short and brief, though it was a much needed stop for his own future.

Approaching the gates of the village, Seiryū was easily processed through, having permission to be able leave the village. His return, there wasn’t really a set date, but within a reasonable amount of time after the Chuunin Exams came to a halt. Things were far simpler, yet still more difficult, with the absence of a Kage, since here was no one  to really enforce the laws in which one had permission to leave or not, and the second in command was in a similar situation to that of the Kage.

The journey would take a while and would be quiet, but as someone whom didn’t mind either, Seiryū was content with the way things would be for his travels. Others had left earlier, travelling in pairs to get to the Village Hidden by Clouds earlier to prepare for them, while he had no reason to rush, as he was but a simple chuunin who wished to spectate those who may eventually join his own rank.
