A single cloud in the sky caught by the wind current, cast a shadow over the young Shinobi that was walking in the desert heat. The shade was a nice break from the sun beating down on him, however it was not much help with the actual heat. The wind blew in from the east, kicking up sand along the way, the wind was not refreshing as it had the sting on the heat with it. The boy was used to the heat of the desert he had grown up around it, so it did not bother him except for the stinging of his eyes from the wind. He had been walking for hours and he knew he still had a long way to go his only hope was that he did not get lost on his journey back to the village hidden in the sand. It has been three years since he had been at the village, ever since he had graduated from the academy. He wondered if things had changed since he had been there, but his main concern was being able to find the village on his own. The last time he had made this journey he was under the escort of his family guards, this time he did not get that luxury, this time he was on his own. As the young boy continued to walk north his mind trailed back to what had brought him to this point.
Raphael had gone to his mother to tell her that he had decided to return to Sunagakure to continue his Shinobi training, however she would not hear of it and refused to let him leave insisting that he must remain at the estate to take on his responsibility as clan leader in four years. After a conversation with his uncle the young boy left the estate under the cover of night, leaving a note to his mother explaining that he had to go, as well as a note to the rest of his family giving them to his uncle, who help him past the estate guard, to give to them once he was gone. He had been walking for two days now only resting briefly in a small cave he found for shelter along the way the night before, and it did not look like there would be another shelter for as far as his eyes could see so his only option was to keep going.
He knew the hidden village was north and so he stayed on the path north of his home, "goddess please do not let me be lost," he spoke aloud though no one was around to hear him. He wished he had paid better attention all those years ago when he had first traveled to the hidden sand village under his escort, but alas his younger self was to excited about joining the academy to even care about what was going on around him. All he could do was head north and hope that he reached his destination soon, and without running into any problems along the way as well.
