The child’s mind seemed to wander, though he hadn’t spent much time with the decease Genin, the Jounin was one who had spared enough time to foster his growth, sighing softly he picked himself off of the floor, his wandering mind seemed to cause him not to answer the question the female had to offer, only recalling the words after he had returned to his senses, somewhat caught off by the appearance of another Genin, the child stared confused. Clearing his throat he turned to see a large set of spiralling stairs, scratching at the back of his head as he felt somewhat embarrassed that he hadn’t noticed the stairs until now.

His golden eyes had met with an identical pair of golden hues and the familiar long brown hair of the female. Widening his eyes at the welcoming surprise that someone familiar had lived long enough to see him again, he was quickly met with an embrace, though the child was always uncomfortable with affection, he merely stood there until he felt the liquid drops of her tears seeping through the white shirt. From there the child placed his right hand upon the back of her head, patting it twice as a confirmation that he was fine.

Removing said hand as the female stepped back to clasp it, his eyes turned to observe the 2 Genin that wandered off, his eyes narrowing and his golden hues dimmed as the child was saddened before sighing and slowly slipping his hand from her hands, he wandered to the decapitated heads of his deceased team members. Bending down the child removed the headbands of both, or what remained and ran his thumb along the metallic plating, biting on his lower lip in regret then clenching the both before returning.

He heard the female ask for food and it had struck his memory, and Yukiusagi’s presence also struck the child with nostalgia has he remembered something else he had received in an event prior. Placing both protectors into his left hand, his right reaches to the pouch attached to the side, retrieving a container that held 4 rice balls, which to his surprise remained intact despite his previous state of petrification and handed it to Yukiusagi. If she had taken the container into her hands, he’d gesture her to offer it to Yasu, still trembling to face he after what had occurred with Ringo and Takuza.

Placing the headbands upon the floor, Ryouta dropped to his knees and withdrew a kunai, marking the metal plate with the first letter of the owner’s name into each then placing the both of them into his empty pouch, smirking somewhat as he nodded then placed the kunai back. From the leftmost pouch, the child withdrew a container which held a gift offered to him by Yukiusagi, chakra pills, 10 within, made by her adoptive mother which he held with him at all times, yet at most times forgotten they were there, walking towards Keldran, he offers the containers then speaks.

“Ryouta, here are some chakra pills for your team and Yasu here, I don’t need any, I spent the past few moments being a statue. What I do remember about the masked man was that he’s fast, one second he was in front of me, the next thing I know, there’s a finger pressed into the back of my head and then everything went dark. The next thing I saw was Yasu” the child sighs yet again, frustrated with his incompetence before stepping ahead, though not too far from the group to observe the castle-like structure.

“He’s powerful; enough to turn me to stone in one touch and kill 2 of our fellow shinobi”
