He looked at his scroll this was his first konoha mission as he though before he wasn’t here for the sites or the exams he came to konoha for more missions. Soon he would be ready for his chunin ranking, but what he would do with that he had no idea the next logical step was to either go rouge or work for a special jonin position. He was unsure now the longer he stayed in Kumo the more in love with it he fell he cared about the village despite the fact that his father had died there what was going on with him he like to think of himself as a fearless killer but every day he is shown that he was just a scared little boy. He jumped off of the roof disgusted at his own uncertainty and land on his feet he begins to sprint toward the location of the cart he was protecting. He looked at the old man with a charming smile that hid his mood completely the man smiled back. “Hi I’m Lini Senju I’ll be escorting you today. “
The man looked at him obviously having heard the Senju name before. Then he looks at Lini’s head band with confusion.” You’re a Senju?” he asks quickly, “Why are you wearing a Kumogakure head band.”
“I’m from kumo,” Lini says simply.
“You must not know that you live in the wrong place then boy, Konoha is where you belong. The Senju founded this place you belong where your fore father belonged” The man said this very matter of factly as if he knew this for certain. There was no doubt in his mind that this boy was in the wrong place
Suddenly the cart stops as the donkey collapses onto its side Lini walked forward to the donkey slowly noticing that the donkey has a rather messed up ankle. The old man shouted several expletives then said something about how they were never going to get there now. As he shouted Lini Lifted the animal into the cart then told the man to sit down. The man looked at him with a withering glare,but he listened. Using the Strap at the front of the merchant cart he began to pull the heavy weight behind him he was no jonin but he had substantial strength. They were going slower but they were on their way none the less as they traveled the man gave him a heavy history of the Senju clan; how they fought the Uchiha the fact that they were one of the Sons of the Sage of the the Six paths. Things that Lini knew nothing about so he listened to his family history intently he had never heard about these things. He was from Kumo after all they probably didn’t know either… or they wouldn’t tell him because of his parents mistake. No one trusted him there maybe he did belong in Konoha. Then again konoha didn’t feel like home. The two men unpacked their stuff then prepared to sleep in the woods so that Lini could regain his strength and pull again tomorrow.
