Having spent the majority of the past year out in the wilderness of Kaminari no Kuni, Ryuuga remained unsure of how many more days he could spend here without it being considered a waste of time – it was nearly getting to that specific point, a point in which Ryuuga had all intentions of avoiding at all costs before it even became a concern. No matter the fact how much there was still left to see within the borders of the Lightning Country, Ryuuga knew that he wouldn’t be satisfied by the miniscule things that remained solely within the borders of this country, not when he could easily see them for himself in the other nations around the world – whether they be major nations or minor. From all he could gather and what he wished to accomplish in the span of his life, Ryuuga knew that remaining within the borders of this country wouldn’t help him further himself. He needed to expand outward and for that to happen, he needed to be elsewhere to establish more connections that could potentially aid him in the near future – whenever they would become an issue.

Taking in to account the few belongings he’d be carrying with him in his small pack, along with the items currently on his person, hidden beneath his pea coat, Ryuuga began to make his way out of the modest inn in one of the few scattered towns in Kaminari no Kuni. He knew his current location was within a day’s travel of the border. He simply had to decide his destination before he reached that specific border. The two major destinations that came to mind were easy enough to identify, for they were the closest major shinobi nations from where Ryuuga was currently stationed – Tsuchi no Kuni and Hi no Kuni, both were far easier to reach than Mizu no Kuni. Kaze no Kuni, the only major nation remaining from the list was simply a bit too far from his current location, but easily accessible once he was in one of the other three countries. His ears caught wind of the ongoings between the Kirigakure no Sato and Kumogakure no Sato, thus he had no desire being caught in the middle of that conflict. It was just as likely both Iwa and Konoha would get involved as well, though Ryuuga knew they weren’t directly involved as Kiri, thus them being the only two viable option of travelling to currently. Geographically, Konohagakure no Sato happened to be the closest of the two thus Ryuuga deciding upon heading to the Hidden Leaf. Knowing he would one day find himself in Iwagakure no Sato – for their University – the idea of going to Konoha was slightly more appealing for he couldn’t find himself travelling to the village for one reason or another, other than to simply pass by.

With all his belongings in check and having checked out from the inn and paying for the night he had just stayed, Ryuuga’s eyes watched the sun that still continued to climb higher in the sky, letting everyone know that the day hadn’t even officially begun as far as most individuals would be concerned. Having no reason to remain behind in this small village, nor remain in Kaminari no Kuni any longer, the male dressed up in formal clothing began making his way out of the small town and towards the border of the Land of Lightning. He wasn’t sure what he would be doing in Konohagakure no Sato, but he figured he could make some semblance of forward movement in his own personal quest to get a better foothold for himself.
