1 Leaving Kirigakure in the background [Travel Kiri -> Iwa] Mon Nov 28, 2016 12:01 pm
Uchiha Susumu
D-rank
Things changed, yet nothing had changed at all.
Susumu, who was once seven of age when he wandered around the streets and areas of Kirigakure, had already begun the days of his early teens, now twelve years of age. His physical appearance hadn’t changed much over the years. His haircut was identical to the one he had five years ago and his eyes had the same glare that usually provoked people into fighting him, although that wasn’t always his intention. It’s time for him to finally leave the deathbed of his father behind and not look back, but rather forward. These past years were full of experiences for him, possibly even changing his mindset.
He didn’t find those that were responsible of his father’s death back in Konoha and actually didn’t find any leads about it in Kirigakure either.. Well, he talked only a brief moment to one of them. Sousetsu Senju. His disappearance has been a strange occurance, perhaps having to do with his encounter with Susumu. He wasn’t certain that it was because of that, but he certainly kept it in the back of his mind. He was still the son of Uchiha Hao. People knowing his identity could cause problems, not only for himself but those around him as well. He realized that whatever he was trying to accomplish, he definitely couldn’t manage this on his own. At least, not at his current level of strength.
There was a wide world outside the walls of Kirigakure, one that he has traversed many times himself, but yet only met a fracture of the people living on the surface of it. These people that he hasn’t met yet could change Susumu’s actions for the better or for the worse, though only he can choose the path that leads to his own destiny. Without a doubt, there’s one with a bad ending in it, as well. He didn’t exit Kirigakure through the gates, but rather stuck to the wall with chakra focused at his feet. Looking from side to side to see if no one had spotted him, he rushed to the top, placed the palm of his hand on the edge of it and launched himself into the mist not too far away from it, in order to cloak himself.
Bushes rattled and multiple animals made sounds around him as he slowly but swiftly moved through the objects of nature, using the mist as something to extra cover him while he did so. There wasn’t really a plan in his head on where to head next, but he just figured that he should start by going to one of the village that he hasn’t visited for the longest of times; Iwagakure. He never really cared much for such a village, but at least it was a place that gave him peace and quiet to himself, giving him time to think. Not only that, he hoped to meet at least a few more people to broaden his own horizon.
Once he had gotten on a safe enough distance from Kirigakure, he appeared from behind the bushes and from within the mist, though no one was around to have seen him. He looked from left to right and front, behind to determine which way he needed to head for Iwagakure. He wasn’t exactly to pinpoint the direction, but had to walk on the feeling of his gut. Stretching out once, hearing the bones in his body crack and giving him a feeling of relief, he resumed his way, hoping that the direction he chose was the good choice. Leaving the Kirigakure village in the background.
