Raishi soon found himself at the Waterfall Point, the main source of water to Iwagakure, also consisting of several beautiful waterfalls that collect at the bottom in a small lake. This had always been his favorite part of the village; it's serenity, the beautiful view.....you could see the whole village from this point, in all it's business and what not. His favorite spot of all was way up the side of a particular mountain that had the biggest waterfall flowing out of it... he just did not have the strength to run up there now. Besides, he had to save all his energy to trying to quicken his mental recovery from all that drink. The fight at the Rock Pit had resulted to him getting a powerful slap to the head, which brought him back to speed, but temporarily. he could feel the power of the alcohol fully come on him. He felt nauseous, like the whole world was spinning and spinning and spinning.....
In a desperate attempt to stop the powerful pounding in his head, he lunged himself into the clod water. It seemed to enter his head and soothe him, making him feel much better. he stayed under water for a few seconds, before emerging, refreshed.
He stepped out now, thinking straighter and focusing better. He then brought out the mission scroll that was safely inside one of his flack jacket pouches, unharmed by the water. It read tat he needed to find another member of the village that was the same rank as him to spar with......he never really noticed or met any other person that was a Special Jounin like him, so the odds that this mission was going to be successful were just too slim. He continued reading through the scroll, then his eyes drifted to his own fingers.....did he have ten fingers ??!! He dropped the scroll immediately and started rubbing his eyes. He took another glance at his hand and everything was normal. Alcohol was a bitch.
He sat down right in front of the lake, the sound of the waterfalls flowing gently in to it, making him calm and relaxed. he closed his eyes and crossed his legs, focusing his mental energy and trying to get back to shape.

His mind clear now, he stood up slowly, regaining his balance, and starts to walk back home, a bit disappointed that he could not do this mission. Then again, it wasn't exactly his fault as the odds of him meeting someone at this point were quite slim. Taking in the sense serenity that this location gave him, he then body flickers out of sight.
