Listen & Read


 * RL|- As they exited Shinra and the rest didn’t mind coming along it seemed but Shinra had something to say so he turned to his direction and looked at him, it seemed to be pretty deep as it dawned on him. Finally mentioning that he had an aspiration and just like the rest of his team he was on the edge of his metaphorical seat to see what Shinra was going to say. Then when he mentioned that he wanted to be able to move mountains with his two hands alone and make an entire landscape with his own Jutsu. Ranta almost wanted to comment and or show his dis-belief but he thought about it for a little bit and realized. Not everyone’s idea of an aspiration is the same as your own Ranta. If the boy wants to move a mountain, let him think he can move a mountain. Life goes on, so Ranta smiled and nodded towards Shinra before turning and looking down the long and now empty walking intersection of the village.

The team chatted it up and everyone seemed really supporting of one another and Shinra’s dreams, it was nice to feel the real comradery once again. Going from constantly being surrounded and commanding a team to living in solitude for months was un-explaingly painful for Ranta at the beginning. Now he didn’t have to have that void anymore.

When everyone was ready he saddled up and he agreed to Takahiro’s comment whole heartedly when he said it, responding with a simple. “Amen.” To Takahiro. As they walked together for around 10 minutes they would reach the memorial area, the stench of damp and darkness hung over the air. The wave of raw and negative emotion could strike down even the strongest of men and women. All of the group had a choice to where or who they wanted to visit. But if they didn’t choose to veer off the given path they’d follow to Ieyasu’s marked grave where when Ranta stood over it he spoke a small piece.

'''“Even in death you gave meaning and possibility for more lives to be born and cultivated. Whatever odds we may have been at, I abolish them here and hope you and your spirit find ever-lasting peace. Rest in happiness Ieyasu.”''' Ranta took off his jacket that he was always known for wearing and folded it tightly onto the gravestone. If anyone else felt like saying words he’d wait and listen to them all and then walk back down towards the middle. Where the large and prominent stone of the Sunagakure losses stood.

If his team could put two and two together, they knew Ranta was from Sunagakure and assumptions could lead to the fact he has endured losses just like the majority of others. Once again, he spoke but this time he kept it short and sweet. '''“Rest in happiness, Mom, Dad. I will rebuild our home once and for all.” '''

'''With that being shed as he turned he noticeably shed a few tears but even in the face of mass emotion and distress in front of his team he allowed himself to stay stalwart and show no fear. “Feel free to all go now, Sorry to end the night on a supposed bad note so to speak. But in the midst of all the light we cannot forget nor forgive the dark and that is the lesson I wished to impart on you today. Live and learn, Dismissed.” '''

All of his members has a chance to say something before they left or just simply leave. Either way after they were all gone Ranta would linger around the Sunagakure memorial for a while longer, removing his headband and staring at it with his real eyes. Before then eventually leaving back to his home as well 20 minutes later. - |RL|
