What do you call a day like today? A day where there's happiness in the safety of some, but sadness for the loss of others? Bittersweet? There's not many other words that could describe the feeling of what was going on today. Some mission that had been carried out with fifteen elite individuals had ended with only six returning.

People lined the streets to see who had made it back and who could not be so lucky. The village hero, or at least who people considered to be such, Keldran, was left in a less than acceptable state of living. While he could normally be found in his family's workshop, working on a little tinker toy or something he had been commissioned to repair, Shinra Kidame was a member of the crowd that followed a safe distance behind Keldran as he was carried through the village.

Shinra Kidame, a recent graduate of the new batch of Konoha ninja, was someone who busied himself with trying to design tools or devices to make life easier for the normal person. They had all this great technology, but it was used for things like communication or construction. Coudln't there be a way to fight fires easier? Keep things warm in the winter? Well none of that mattered right now, it was about paying respects tot he fallen, which he would do at home by lighting some incense for a bowl of rice and some prayers to the dead.
