Entering Country Desolation [Retired]

[Kagami Miro]

The last few weeks began to heavily weigh on the shoulders of the once prodigy of Kumogakure. Born into a loving family, only to have them stolen from her, forced into a hellish world of slavery. Years of the hardest gods damned life bestowed onto a frail child who only had a chance of success due to her friends dying. A sweet taste of success granted by a woman with red hair later titled as her Raikage. Another mentor waltzed into her life to direct her within the ANBU. Another bastard of foxkin heritage tainting her perception of the world her mentors had carefully laid out. Everything in her life had been a struggle, and everything after her death and revival had only been the same. Coated in hatred, revenge and worst of all, loneliness. The image of people she’d call “friends” flashed in her mind. Like a flash it was over in an instant. The only ones she cared about led the medical branch or had purple hair in the middle of a desert.

These thoughts closed her mind in a dense fog. To the point of even shutting away her contract. In an all white domain that expanded infinitely sat a silhouette of a white figure in a red outline. Arms wrapped around knees pulled tight to their chest. Long black hair and a stream of red tears had been the only defining features of this hallucination. From the outside looking in, Mirō recognized the pain the creature in her vision experienced. That was all it took for the ANBU Sennin to snap.

The brisk cold air infiltrated her lungs in a deep breath. Home is where the heart was yet her heart hadn’t fluttered. The lackadaisical pulse of her heart proved to her that her time within Cloud had been for naught. The sense of impending dread filled her throat with unease and anxiety. Violent acts raced once more though her head against herself again and again like a broken record. It was time.


From her hand a paper sheet peeled away. The paper twisted and flipped in front of her before it held still. Words began to appear on the sheet of paper.

​

Spoiler: Letter

To whomever finds this first. Please redirect this letter to any Branch Sennin or the Raikage.

I, Alpha, hereby revoke my current position and all benefits that come with it.

The malice that resonates within cannot be handled responsibility so as a final act I have decided to remove myself from the Branch, community and eventually my home.

-Alpha

A sharp whistle that mimicked a mating call of an avian species echoed through the mountains. Over the horizon soared a black raven who effortlessly perched itself on the outstretched arm of the once Sennin. Neatly the letter had been tied to the leg of the raven. Set free to deliver the message, a gust of wind compelled the beauty to fly up and towards the gates of Kumogakure. Red hues watched as the raven took to the infinite sky above with endless possibilities. Ones that didn’t include her presence any longer.

Tears welled up on the corners of her eyes, streaming down her cheeks, a hand wiped the tears away. The next phase of her life now began to roll into motion. A hand gripped the hilt of the dagger sheathed on her lower back. Withdrawing it she held it in front of her and watched the sunlight warm up the golden metal to reveal radiant glints of masterful blacksmithing. But all the Uchiha saw was a way of the end. With the dagger drawn she turned her back on Kumogakure. Her original home called to her. Where her parents demise had been dealt. Maybe it should’ve been hers too.
