Unknown location.
Moving clouds were covering the bright rays of the sun,A slow moving shadow was shuffling underneath the massive branches of the over towering trees,The person stopped walking and paused a bit before taking out a bottle of his bag and drank it contents in one gulp."So much for keeping water for the entire day."
The boy spoke to nobody in particular, He sat down next to a tree and looked up to the sky and thought.'Katsuo, Go to Konoha and meet up with your aunt,There you will live in peace and learn the inner meaning of life.' Katsuo thought to himself as he took a picture out of his pocket and held it in front of him."Damn old man always making things seem easy even though they are hard." He spoke to himself again. Katsuo sighed as a sign of his annoyance,wiping the bead of sweat from his forehead.
Katsuo got up and began walking again,The bag on his back was weighing heavy on his back and the sun was having a major effect on him,He decided to jump onto the branches and sped through the high tops of the trees in haste and while he was doing that he kept on thinking back to what his grandfather but he continued to jump from branch to branch in an effort to get to destination before nightfall.
Konoha Training Ground.
Two figures were battling it out in the heating sun and seeming not to pay great attention to scorching sun,The two combatants were locked in a fierce stare down. Neither of them moving an inch from their current positions, The sounds of the birds chirping could be heard in the distance,A sudden wind breezed the training ground as quickly as the wind came,The two combatants disappeared from sight and sparks flew across the ground like fireflies dancing around a pond.
They reappeared and both of their clothes had multiple cuts on them,One of the boys threw 3 shuriken at the othe,The other jumped away from the projectiles in a blur. The boy again reappeared but this time behind the unsuspecting boy,With a kunai knife in hand,The boy stabbed the other in the back."I guess I won the battle."
The boy boasted about his victory but it was short lived,The dead body of the boy he stabbed suddenly puffed in a cloud of white smoke and there laid a log with a kunai knife embedded in it."No no no,This can't be happening!...the other boy shouted in anger...Where are you Leo? Come out,Come out where ever you are." He got his answer as the boy named Leo grabbed the boy who called out to him by his shoulders and with a grapple managed to toss the boy on his back before the other boy could manage to stand up again,Leo was on top of him with a kunai aimed at the other boy's throat.
"I win again loser." Leo said to the clearly angry boy beneath him and with swift movement Leo got off the boy and promptly stood above the boy with his hands in his pocket. The boy got up and dusted off his tattered clothes before saying."And I'm not a loser,I got a name and it's...'" He couldn't finish what he was going to say as Leo took the liberty of doing it for him."Yes I know that your name is Chad of the Nara clan although you not like your other lazy clan members but you lack in the intelligence department." Leo said with confidence in his voice.
Chad looked like he was about to hit leo but stopped himself as he felt a presence lurking around the bushes in the training ground as soon as he felt it,He alerted of it as well but it seemed like leo already had sensed it. Both of their hands were slowly moving toward their utility pooch,In synchronization the two boys both threw smoke bombs to the ground and blended into the white smoke. The intruder leaped out of the bush and scanned the area.
'They are getting better and in a little while I won't be needed to teach them the basics of being a ninja but they are still naive kids.' The intruder smirked before he weaved hand signs and clapped his hands together and said ".Fuuton: Reppushou (Wind Style: Wind gale)" Sudden wind started to gather around the training ground,The smoke from the smoke bombs disappeared into thin air.
Leo and Chad have been watching the entire event happening before them ever since they threw the smoke bombs to cover their escape,Chad in a whisper spoke to"Hey Leo, Mind telling me what the hell just happened here?." Leo was trying to wrap his mind on what just occurred in front of them but as he was about to explain to Chad what just happened,When both of them felt a hand on their shoulders,They heard a voice behind them but they were too afraid to turn their heads and face the sinister person behind them.
"What do I have here? Two idiots trying their luck on running away from me even so,You two are still not ready to become full fledged ninja of konoha."The man said as he firmly continued to grip on the boys shoulder,The pain was starting to get unbearable for Chad as he winced in pain and tried to shake the hand off his shoulder.
Leo saw the discomfort starting to grow on his friend's face and decided to speak."Daichi-sensei, Can't you let us go and why you even here I thought hokage-sama sent you out on a mission earlier." Leo said to his teacher,Who took his hands off the boys shoulders and sighed.
"You can always be so cruel leo...Daichi said with a pained expression on his face."but I'm used to it and yes I was on my way to the main gate but then I thought I should come and see my two favourite students before I left."Daichi said to the two boys who were not interested in what their sensei just told them. Chad looked around nonchalantly before returning his attention to his sensei "So sensei when are you suppose to leave for your mission and where are you going to?." Chad asked his sensei,Rubbing his chin as if he was in deep thought,Daichi clicked his fingers together and said "I don't have a glue where I'm going to but hokage-sama said I'll get the information I need at the main gate,I should get going." Daichi said before he disappeared in a wind of leaves.
"Why must he always show off his Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) in front of us,Damn Him!" Chad screamed in annoyance, He swayed left and right before he stumbled against the tree."Too tired to do anything...Chad said in between breathes."I'll just sit here for a while." Leo just leaned against another tree,His silence was a sign that he was thinking about something,So chad decided not to disturb him. Leo promptly pushed himself off the tree he was leaning against and began walking away from his friend.
Chad was starting to enjoy the bliss warmth the sun was producing, His tattered blue T-shirt and green pants and shinobi sandals were dirty from the dirt he accumulated earlier from the sparring session with Leo."Hey Leo,How about after I get done resting we go and buy some fr...He paused and turned to where his friend was suppose to be standing but found nobody there,He sighed and looked at the sky.'How long does he have to make himself suffer over something he didn't have any power over.' Chad thought to himself before he closed his eyes.
Somewhere close to konoha.
"Damn I've been jumping on these trees for the past few hours,I've got to be close to konoha now." Said katsuo. The sky and the clouds were tainted with a orange colour meaning it was close to nightfall,Katsuo was still jumping on the branches of the trees much to his annoyance he was not sure if he was going to reach konoha soon,He descended off the tree was currently standing on and gracefully landed on the ground. He took off his backpack and searched through it's contents and took out a map and spreaded it across the ground and looked at it with focus in his eyes.
"I've been walking since I left my home village...Katsuo had a pained expression on his face upon thinking about his village..Meaning that I should be in konoha in a few couples."
Katsuo returned the map into his bag and continued his way to konoha, He saw the massive gate of konoha in the distance. He decided to take his time to get to the gate,His mind was busy thinking of how much of a nice place konoha would be,That he barely noticed a kunai flying toward him,Katsuo jumped to the left to avoid the sharp object but he hardly had anytime to rest as more kunai was thrown his way.
Katsuo looked up and saw the guard at the gate with shuriken in his hands this time, The man in a green flak jacket and a konoha forehead protector stood between katsuo and konoha,Katsuo was not in the mood to fight today."Come on,Is this how konoha welcomes people to their village these days.' Katsuo shouted at the man and started to walk nonchalantly toward the guard but he didn't get any closer because a shuriken landed close to his feet.
"Take another step closer kid and you won't live to see tomorrow." The guard said with a stern voice,Katsuo dropped his bag on the ground,Putting his hand in the bag,He pulled out a picture and tossed it to the guard. The guard caught the picture and looked at it."What do you want with this lady?." The guard asked Katsuo, Katsuo picked up his bag and slinged it over his shoulder and smiled and said." That's my aunt chika ryuu,I'm here to visit her or maybe stay for a while."
The guard looked at Katsuo with a curious face before he returned the shuriken back into his ninja pooch and proceeded to walk toward Katsuo,Katsuo was relieved at the turn of events and met half way to meet up with the guard."So you will be visiting Chika Ryuu,Okay I'll let you pass kid but just know if I hear that you causing any trouble I'll make sure you regret coming here." The guard said to Katsuo who puffed up his cheeks and blew the wind he accumulated and said "Geez,What went up your ass and made you the kage of this place."
The guard's anger rose up again as he went to grab Katsuo by the throat but he was too slow for Katsuo,Who nimbly evaded the attack and leaped over the guard and proceeded to walk care free through the village gate.
Katsuo had entered the great village hidden in the leaves, A new sense of adventure made it's way through his body,'I've entered konoha and I hope there will be many memories that I can build up in here, I'm also not here for fun and games but also to gain answers to why my home village went through what happened to it.'
