Kashizudoto
S-rank
He had a little bit of time off from his escort mission to wander the village for himself, so he decided to go on a quite stroll throughout the wilderness. Really, the Land of Earth was nice, although he definitely missed the smell of thick pine residue, the sound of chirping birds, the sight of all the wood, the feel of the damp air, and the taste of the sweet air in the Land of Fire. Really, the name of the place was inappropriate. It wasn't fiery at all. It was a pleasant woods, although if you got on its bad side you were sure to die by poison, wild animals, criminal, or just simply by getting lost. After all, that's why Konohagakure was hidden from invasion.
Really, this was a time to reflect upon how he got to his position at the mere age of 12. It was through ambition, creativity, and independence; he just knew that those qualities were what made him rise up so quickly. However, did natural talent play a part? If so, did that mean that these values were not a universal tool for achieving success? That would mean that only certain people, born with the natural gifts to succeed whether it be through kekkei genkai or enhanced intelligence, would be essentially fated to be accomplished while the others were not. Destiny? Kashizudoto usually didn't believe in that bullshit, but he couldn't shake off this notion that perhaps his values weren't a panacea for all, only a tool for the few. And as such, life would never be fair. There would never be equality of opportunity in the shinobi world. If there was anything Kashizudoto was known for, it was for breaking through barriers when he had a bone to pick with something that was established. And thus, his decision on the matter was obvious and immediate. This thought of the disparity in the shinobi world only reinforced his desire to reform the entire continent into one where liberty, equality, and intellectualism were valued and encouraged by the village, rather than simply war and distrust.
He continued his walk, again at peace with nature now that he had resolved that internal struggle, which only added to his confidence and strength in the end. With his ace eye, he picked up a big indentation in the ground. He ran over to it and started inspecting it. What was this? It was HUUUGEEE! What thing could have made this? Judging from the characteristics, it had to be the footprint of something. But of what? It seemed like nothing Kashizudoto had seen before. Perhaps the Land of Earth had some crazy monsters that Konoha shinobi wouldn't be used to.
