Nayoko
D-rank
It had been only a few hours since Nayoko’s encounter with the boy at the lake outside of the Village Hidden in the mists. His encounter with the young man who had identified himself as Tatsumi had been an interesting one to say the least. The young man had begun by identifying himself as a murderer and insisted on Nayoko beating him, which had been most unsettling for the young Hattori who had journeyed out to the lake for some peace, quiet, and possible training. Instead, he ended up having a fairly in depth discussion with a young man about how moving forward was the best option when it came to regret. It had left Nayoko with a bittersweet thought as he had headed back into the village proper, hoping that he had managed to convince the boy that he did not have to be so upset for the rest of his life. In reality, Nayoko knew it would always take more than a single conversation to change someone, but he had to try. It was just the kind of person he was.
The young Hattori carried these thoughts with him as he found himself wandering the streets of Kirigakure no Sato in search of the General Hospital. He was not injured at the moment, but in a very rare moment of genius, Nayoko had realized that if his whole purpose for coming to the Land of Water, a meeting with a mystery man who seemed to have intimate knowledge of his family, went south, he wanted to know where he would need to go to in order to have his potential injuries treated. It seemed like an important part of the plan, considering neither himself, nor his travelling companion and friend, Shimada, were trained at all in medical ninjutsu. But as he wandered through the streets of the village, he glanced to his right and noticed a sign that looked oddly familiar. Pausing, he stared at it for a moment before his eyes went wide with dismay. He was looking at the sign for a ramen noodle place that he had eaten lunch just an hour or so earlier, which could only mean one thing for the path he had ended up walking: he had been wandering in circles.
Shaking his head in disbelief, Nayoko wandered over to the side of the road and looked up at the surrounding buildings, trying to get some sense of where he was. Unfortunately, the buildings all seemed to look alike in the eyes of the foreigner, and before too long the twenty two year old realized that he was hopelessly lost. Sighing with disappointment, he wandered over to a bench that sat on the side of the road and sat down in it, watching a seemly endless number of strangers walk by. Well, it looks like I’m left with no choice this time. I’m going to have to ask somebody around here for directions… Being the awkward man that Nayoko tended to be around strangers, it was not a preferable solution, but it looked like he had his back against the wall this time.
And so he did, waving to a nearby group of people that were walking by, unsure of whether they were travelling together or apart. He addressed the whole group, but made sure he was loud enough for others around him to hear. “Hi there, I’m uh…I’m not from around here and I seem to have gotten myself lost. Do any of you have the time to show me to there the Kirigakure General Hospital is located?”
