It was a mellow morning, as Konoha comfortably woke up from its sleep. People bgean to walk in and out from their homes, beginning to pick up the pace for their jobs, school; etc. Riku was among one of them, already leaving the Senju compound decked out in his usual gear while taking a light jog toward the village gates.

His open jacket and his messy hair flowed in the wind as he made his way, upon arriving he weaved between the few people entering and leaving reaching further out until he stepped outside of the village. For a moment he just stood in place, looking down the road as it was swallowed into the looming forest of Konoha. There was some nervousness, even from a person as cool and calm as Riku usually was. He never really went outside of the village though, much less outside of his very own country and that was his task today.

Genin usually weren't meant to do very serious missions, particularly because of their inexperience but in times like these such excuses were no longer valid. Riku knew today he'd be able to prove himself as a village, yet his heart tremored at the thought of being so far away from his friends like Kyo, Reo, and Mushi.

His pride and courage shook it off though, or maybe stupidity depending upon how you looked at it. With a gleam shining off his V-shaped sunglasses and a forced, cheeky smile he began to walk down the road and make his way for Kusa.\

Hours passed as he trekked across the country, making stops every now and then, but it wasn't exhausting at all given his relaxed pace. He maintained this until he got a tip from a smaller village he was resting at for a few that they were near the borders of the country which Kusa rested in.

From there he jogged with some haste, not having enough time to stop and take a look at the great Tenchi Bridge he crossed although he'd probably have some on the way back.It was a wonder going through, just taking brief looks at the gargantuan mushroom and bamboo forests around. Even to his standards, it was a little unrealistic but pretty damn cool as far as he was concerned.

Upon reaching towards Kusa the first thing he noticed was some lady waiting by. From the letter he recieved a few days before heading out to the mission, he knew he had new friends to count on being with. He stopped his running as he reached towards the bridge, his shoes skidding across the ground with a skidding sound and a small cloud of dust following swiftly behind.

He planted into place right before Nanalu, his hand was covering his face while his knees arched. Riku turned quickly to Nanalu, throwing out his hand while he moved his hand over his head revealing his special glasses and the rest of his face.

"No... by chance, you wouldn't be another Leaf ninja like me who's also on this wicked mission? If not, baby, don't be afraid because I'll be here to help and solve the mysteries of this sleepy village! For I'm Riku Senju, King of Shinobi, the coolest ninja in all of Konoha; believe it!"

Riku pulled back his pointing hand and brandished his Konoha headband that had been comfortably resting on his neck.
