“About time”



There was a small puddle of water on the floor next to the well, about 10 yards from the guard house. And from said puddle arose the small frame of a thirteen year old boy with white hair and a deep sense of conviction in his vibrant eyes. Using the Hiding in Water technique, Akira had been waiting for a while to see if any incomplete teams came looking for a mission. Unusually, Akira carried a backpack which was filled with various supplies; mainly food and water, and some bandages.

Overhearing the interaction between Dante, who’s voice he recognized, and the guards who sat in what Akira called ‘The Mission Booth’, the boy stepped out of the puddle after emerging, fully dry, and walked over to Dante who he greeted with a simple nod; knowing the latter, like himself, wasn’t a fan of needless interaction. He had also turned around to Ryouta but saw that he was off in la-la land and thinking about something while mumbling about weapons, so Akira chose not to disturb that secial moment.

Taking a Kunai in his hand, Akira walked over beside Dante to look at the mission details and then used the transformation technique to create a copy in his own hands; reading though it again after taking a step away for some personal space.

“Difficult. It should do fine to help me surpass my limit.”

He expressed no interest whatsoever in the actual reason behind the mission and why it was so important. To Akira it was simply another step up the ladder.

“This should do for my first mission.” The boy said without doubt, either being very confident or simply very foolish. “If you’re both ready… then let’s go.”

And with that he ran off, passing underneath the gates, and entering the widespread forest around Konoha; following one of the main pathways that led towards Iwagakure. As they ran, if they ran with him, Akira turned to the others and said;

“Let’s update each other on our capabilities. My Water Jutsu have become a force to be reckoned with and I’ve worked a lot on my stamina and handseals. My jutsu can be used defensively and offensively. “

The journey would be a long one, so Akira expected it to not be without its risk. He’d keep his senses peeled as best he could in case anything were to occur, and if nothing did then he’d suggest a break after running for an hour or two.
