One Door Closes, Another One Opens [Requesting Exit]

[Uchiha Mizuki]

Sumiko stood before the gates of Leaf standing in the wake of there long imposing shadows her eyes fixed up at them, on her back was a large backpack filled with only processions that she cared about, it same one that she had brought with her the day she met Za in the library, the event that started all this, thinking about it she couldn't help but smile, there was so many things that had happened to her inside this Village, so many things that she wish she would leave behind here, to wash away from her but they clung to her, staining her like ink on silk. Za, however, he was the only thing that she would willing take from this place, it was strange to think when they first meet in that alley that they would come to care of each other so deeply, that he would be such a vital part of her life where she wouldn't know what to do without him.. Fate was a funny thing, even though Sumiko liked to think that she was in control of her own destiny the timeline of events that had led to this seemed inevitable, like it has all bee preordain by some higher power.

Taking a deep breath Sumiko closed her eyes re-centring herself in that moment the past no longer mattered, who she was and what had happened to her would no longer define her, she was about to take the first steps into a new life, one not held down by the suffocating restrains of Leaf where the only thing that mattered was the family that she had chosen, she couldn't help but smile a little feeling not fear or anticipation but excitement.

"You ready?" She turned to the man and smiled holding out her hand.

[Sazuki Nao]

Nao had some business at the post guards. After all, they had first aid kids around and he was working to make sure those were up to date with supplies or adding if anything. At a moment later, he heard someone else saying something. "Oh- sorry, didn't spot you earlier." He would scratch the back of his head and head over towards them. "So.. I see you are wishing to leave the village, please show the required documents and passport please." He would hold a hand up, waiting for them to give it to him.

[Zatoru]

Bittersweet was not how Za would describe the situation that was beginning to unfold with the village. A few things felt off with every step he took. Though he wouldnt think about that too much right now, it just bothered him every time his brain questioned it. It was a mystery that he would ask Nobu about when he saw him next... If he saw him. Though, Za didnt doubt Nobu was alive, he just questioned why Asuka would want them to think he was dead? Maybe she had him tied up somewhere? Nah, Za was keen with Genjutsu... He'd surely would have hypnotized someone to help him by now.

Though, as he packed his things up he realized he didnt need much of it. Taking another outfit to switch into while he cleaned the other one, his prosthetic was attached to him. He had his weapons. All he needed was the one he was going to be traveling with. Sumiko. It would be about that time they scheduled to leave and with everything in him he would want to get the hell out of the village that seemingly contradicted itself. He wasnt afraid fo the days and months to come. He was looking forward to this chapter... To leave and finally move into this new day in his life. Sumiko's oppression was finally taken away from her, and his revenge just over the horizon. Za would think to himself for a moment as he'd take a deep breath standing next to Sumi...

"...Yes. Lets g-..."

Then Nao would look right before them, Za would sigh, "We have arrangements, given down by the Hokage..." Za would frown for a moment but maybe this would be the last time they would have to deal with them. Nao was the one that helped him finalize the extraction of the hearts but maybe there was something else? Was Nao here to see them off?

[Leaving with sumiko]

 

[Uchiha Asuka]

Asuka moved forward towards the gates. It didn't seem well to simply give down judgment without actually seeing it through. With a smile on her face she walked towards the gates, seeing Sumiko and Zatoru. It seemed she wasn't that late. She patted Nobu on the head. "They're cleared Nobu. Don't think they'll be coming back anytime soon." She spoke with a smile on her face. Clearing her throat. She took a couple of steps forward and had a sigh. Meddling through her pockets she took out two seals, handing them over to Sumiko and Zatoru.

"Supplies, for the road." She spoke with a sigh. "I wish you the best in the adventures to come." She smiled as she waved them off.

Seeing how the Hokage... seemed to confuse him with someone else.. Was something he had never really seen before, not with anyone. Except those who were starting to go mentally ill or were mentally ill... ' There sure are a lot of people in the Leaf with mental problems... Perhaps we should expand on a psychiatry branch...' He thought towards himself as he was getting patted by the Hokage. "S-Sure...." He said a bit stiff and awkward as he would look towards the kids and slowly started to shrug.

Nao had been fully aware that he had been called Nobu, but he had no idea how to act and or even react on that matter. "Hokage-Sama... I will meet you in my office later today. No butts..." He would with that, make a soft bow to the children. "I hope your journey may be a good one." WIth that, he would turn around and leave.
