1 If You Go Down To The Woods Today (Private/ Carny/ No Kill) Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:26 pm
Izayoi H
D-rank
Izayoi walked through the woodland of Konohagakure, as he tended to do now. It always seemed that interesting individuals could be found within these woods, among these trees. Some would be the sort to kill him, such as that Uchiha. Others, the kind of which he could find comradery, and in such, a suitable pawn for future, like the Inuzuka. Regardless, they had proven that anything could happen within the woods, and as such the Hyuga had got into the habit of always walking with his eyes sharp and alert. He was clad in a deep crimson kimono, with white streaks on the sleeves, and his hair was tied up neatly as ever in a ponytail that flowed behind him. His face was soft, the features barely defined, and with the grace of his step, he could perhaps be deemed fabulous.
Still, that was an aside for his superiority complex, and none of that would show in demeanour, Izayoi walking away from the village with a smile upon his face, traversing the wooded area with little weight behind his step. The light crunching of the leaves from the winter passed as he stepped over them, the sound of bird song as the flying creatures returned from their migration. The rustling of leaves from life manoeuvring among the canopy. It all reminded him of the true nature and existence of the leaf village – the one that deemed life important, yet hidden, and only for whatever purposes. The sound of a hissing caught his attention, and activating the byakkugan, he soon found that within one of the trees, a snake was coiling, fangs deep in the neck of a dying bird, whose throat was too damaged by poison for it to sing its distress. The world was cruel, and existed only for predators and their prey. The pawns to be used by the killers. Still, he sighed, shaking his head and moving onwards.
After continuing on, he found himself in a location that was familiar to him. Not far from the nearby roads, one of the many rivers and streams in Hi no Kuni. A more…. Grim smile crossed his lips, however he soon caught himself out, readjusting his facial posture to be more gentle and soft as he sat down on a nearby rock, crossing his legs and allowing himself to get into a meditative posture. Quietly, he inhaled, allowing his mind to think, to strategize, and to clear. He let out an exhale, continuing to keep his byakkugan active, the visual strain apparent and the only possible “blemish” upon his face that he would deem uncouth. He had an expectation there would be another stranger to meet out here. It had happened before, and the world was a surprisingly small place. If not, well, the time alone would be welcome, but if so, then indeed the encounter would be worth the walk.
