I walked to the gates and let out a deep sigh. I could feel the flowing heat of the desert all around me. The cloak I bore over my shoulders felt heavy and hot but I knew it was needed to protect me from the sun's heat and radiation. While I knew the Diamond Maelstrom had ended, there was still some concern for the dangers that were present out here. This would be the first time I had traveled anywhere by myself.
I stepped to the attending shinobi and crossed my arms. Seeing as I was never truly born nor went through the Sunagakuran Academy to earn any of my ranks, I technically don't have a traditional passport. I point to myself with my thumb.
"Chikamatsu Kohana, Inner Circle of the Chikamatsu Clan, Sister to Lord 12th. I am leaving Sunagakure on my own accord voluntarily for some time. I am not being forced nor coerced, yada yada. I am unsure of where I go, but wherever I go I won't share the secrets of the village, you have my word."
I spouted off bullshit I thought they would want to hear. I extend my hand, showing the chakra mark that was inscribed onto this artificial body. It was the symbol of the Inner Ring of Sunagakure's armed forces—the Medical Branch. I would wait for their confirmation as the last thing I needed right now is for the rumors of my departure from the village to be seen as me fleeing the state. While I felt confident holding my own normally, I still wasn't quite used to this body and knew my strength was still supbar.
