Tsuneo took a deep breath. The sun was shining behind him and the loud sound of birds chirping flooded the area. A smile crept across his face as the clean pure air entered his lungs. The boy was happy and free from the tyranny of The Nin from Otogakure. With that in mind the boy noted his inventory. Three kunai, five shuriken and he tapped on the forehead portion of his forehead protector that doubled as a chin guard tracing across his jawline. Tsuneo would be wearing black sweatpants along with a compression black t-shirt today, nothing fancy but it would get the job done for this easy mission he was tasked for. Mapping the country? Pfft, easy as pie. Tsuneo reached into his pocket and grabbed out a rolled up piece of paper and a pencil that was rolled up within the paper. This should do the job. He thought as things that might be creeping about also crossed his mind. He wasn't the best artist but if he made a simple legend for what he drew with colors the higher ups should get what he was doing fairly easily. Tsuneo's thumb rubbed against his nose as he took off running into the forests to start his mission.

Sounds of cracking leaves as well as various animal noises danced within the boy's ears as he ran, drawing as he did so. Jumping over dead logs along the ground as he did so among other things that would showcase his ability to multitask. His brown hair was messy today, he didn't bother to put it up or comb it he always thought he looked better without messing with it. The boy came across wildlife such as turtles, squirrels, even monkeys and he would jot it all down. Not on the official paper he would turn in, however, he didn't want to bother the higher ups with his fascination. No, these animals were drawn crudely drawn on a separate piece of paper as he met them. First came the squirell which was a tough animal to keep still while he drew. He had to draw the little thing from memory, every time the boy attempted to get close it would scatter off into the distance faster than he could run. Then came the elusive monkey who would act almost like the squirel in terms of speed but it was more curious than the squirrel. One money even got as close to touch Tsuneo's nose with it's finger in its own curiousity. Then came the turtle, the easiest to draw. It acted as if it didn't even notice the boy come up and wasn't bothered by the curious young man drawing it like a french girl. He was home.

Tsuneo came across a mountain that looked rather tall. He stood at the base of it bending his body backward looking upward, shielding his eyes with a flat hand. Tsuneo whistled. "Boy, that might be dangerous. Bet I could make it though." He made himself a bet, if Tsuneo could get up and over this mountain he would reward himself with some ice cream after the mission was over. With the bet set in place, Tsuneo took a deep breath walking close to the mountain scanning the surface for footholds and things to be able to scale it. Aha, the boy had found it. The first foothold wasn't hard to spot but he couldn't see much farther than a few meters ahead of him due to the sun's brightness. His right foot dug its way inside the small hole and his muscles pushed him up slightly. Using this elevated position the boy looked around as he made his way up for footholds or something he could use to get scale the mountain flawlessly. Moments passed as he made his way up further and further taking a look down every now and then getting an idea of how far he's gone against how much further he had to go. Sweat poured from his forehead as he could feel his forehead protector getting mouist, the heat pulsed down on his body, his brown hair soaked up the heat and made his entire body heat up to the point of near exhaustion. Why do this? He could easily scale this with Supernatural Walking so why go through the trouble of all of this hard work? Truth is he liked the challenge and he made a bet with himself and he doesn't like cheaters.

Finally, as the sun was setting a single arm made it atop the mountain. The skinny forearm made it way into the open air bending at the elbow as his hand tried to find something he could leverage his body up with a little bit of strength. He panted heavily when he found something sticking from the top of the mountain itself. Clutching this thing he pulled his body up, using his legs to gain traction. He let out a heavy breath attempting to catch his breath. Tsuneo's chest rose and depressed every half second until he gathered his breath. He walked slowly to the edge of where he came from and looked down at how far he had gone. "Damn. Guess I get some ice cream." The words shakily came from his mouth and a large smile was not far behind. Tsuneo made his way to the other edge and bent at the knees to lurk over the edge itself looking upon the sight. Gorgeous orange violet hues danced across the sky above Konohagakure no Sato as the sun went down for the night. Tsuneo took out both pieces of paper as he sat down on the edge with his legs dangling over the side staring onto his new village. On the first piece of paper he would draw how and where he came from making notes about where each thing was. The entrance, large boulders, the mountain. When that was done the boy grabbed the other piece of paper, his doodling paper, and began with his pencil he brought along.

I'm home.
