Listen & Read


 * RL|- Ranta listened to the crippled Genin’s plea and eulogy of sorts, it was sad to see such young men and women being thrown into the chaos that was the shinobi world. He mentioned constantly failing and he doesn’t want to do so again and wishes to become strong. Asking for guidance and training once he finished healing. Ranta would nod, “Come find me after you recover. We can run some drills with Team Instinct.” At this point the crow flew off and darted towards Konoha at high speeds.

   [One more post needed until Azarias and the crow arrived to Konoha.] 

When Mushiki got onto his back she mentioned the thing about Kinshi being up in the trees could possibly be her or a clone. The clone replied with, '''“Your life is more valuable than the Hokage’s daughter. Forget the mission.” '''They left the crater and Ranta was running full speed, weaving through the tree’s as the two made their way back towards the leaf. The insignia on the Team Instinct oozing Ranta’s silver chakra through it. Showing a symbol of hope and power.

She told her name in full and thanked him for saving Azarias the boy. '''“No worries, the names Ranta. Well my real body is, I’m just a clone.”''' As they continued to run he felt her tears crash down onto the crow clothing and her arms tightened around his body as they continued to run. He felt bad for her, to have to witness a death of that gravity at such a vulnerable age was something that would be hard to swallow. Especially watching it happen with her own eyes. Before she could even speak the crow, clone did, “'''Just know you will become a strong and beautiful kunoichi of the leaf. Don’t let your heart falter sweet cheeks.” '''A simple sentiment, but one Ranta hoped would stick.

Mushiki began to speak about the battle, the parties afflicted, the happenings, the nitty and gritty details, almost as if she made an entire encyclopedia of the situation in the short time that it happened. Speaking in slight amazement but slight sorrow and sadness at the same time, he knew what she meant. Even if she couldn’t communicate it well due to the emotional aftershock of the happenings.

Shortly after the first bombardment of information she placed her head close to his own, feeling the warmth of her skin against his clone face was touching to say the least. But she continued to speak about Ieyasu’s last moments, including to mention that the Monk had died. Therefore, ending it off on the note that she had to be the one that shot the flare into the air to signal help for herself and Azarias.

The clone took in all of the information, one of his hands swung back and gently cycled through her hair and he spoke. “Thank you for telling me all of this information, I know it’s hard but just feel comfort in my presence until we get you home safe and sound.” His other free hand flashed a thumb up and then they continued to run.

She’d have one more chance to speak of anything more or vent her feelings before they arrived to the leaf. - |RL|
