“Well, this looks like a pretty spiffy place to have a bit of fun,” Kei began as he stopped just before the borders of the Forest of Death. “We could show each other some nifty tricks without shinobi showing up asking what the fudge brownies is going on.” He donned casual attire - nothing even worth mentioning. He was looking especially plain that day. “Remember that day you showed me your Sharingan? That was pretty cool.” This was not the same day. In fact, the two’s first meeting was a while ago. They did not go far from the shop they met at. What his Uchiha counterpart was able to show him was, of course, limited at that point since her stage was little more than the streets of Konohagakure. Now, however, it was a great expansive forest in the peak hours of the daylight. “There’s a safe beaten path we can take, of course.” He ended his statement with a strong and sudden pose, superhero-esque in the way Japanese television would portray it. His face remained frozen in apathy throughout the whole ordeal. “Ninja adventure awaits.” Pulling himself into his former, normal stance, he started forward. “Thanks for agreeing to meet up today,” he said with a grateful hand he almost waved, but instead allowed to remain elevated with his fingers relatively outstretched. “This used to be even more expansive somehow,” Kei continued as he turned his sights ahead of him once more. “I guess there was some restructuring so the location is more distinct. Maybe that’s why the past ninja were so strong. They may say something like, ‘back in MY day, we had to slay giant snakes on our way to the academy!’” Kei mockingly shook a single extended index finger back and forth. W.C: 296 <MFT> |
