The Oracle
It was mid day, not a time for lurking but rather a time for fading into the passing crowds. Sunagakure, or at least the subterranean portion was never actually rebuilt. Rather the ruined remains seemed to sit here, they would never fester and rot but rather remain a stoic reminder of what could fail. Clad in a heavy woolen, hooded cloak that obscured her features ambled a single woman. she seemed to blend in with the passing masses but that was the intention. She was not supposed to stand out, not here of all places. She was a siphon of knowledge and the ruins were a storehouse of lost intellect.
There was something else she was after of course, it was a foreigner that she had been following. It would be a lie to claim she was doing a good job, that was part of her intent in this particular man's case. He was a former Kohonagakure ANBU-branch Sennin from what she had heard and moreover he was also a man of relative importance in Iwagakure. Some might consider him a celebrity and perhaps they should, but that was not what fascinated her, not truly. It was how he had so swiftly ingratiated himself with the present Steward, despite his various proclivities. The Steward was a man of average intellect in her perspective but he had a high personal opinion. His judgement was not in question, making choices and alliances in haste was something men did more often than they would admit even to themselves. Her latest topic of enthusiasm was the man who seemed so capable of making friends.
It has been since yesterday that she has stalked him. She figured he would notice her eventually if he had not some time ago already. She was prepared for him of course, in this setting she was the predator and not the prey. It was her assumption that eventually he would attempt to lure her someplace considering his shinobi training, ironic how she was setting a 'trap' for herself just to get a closer look. It has been said that curiosity killed the cat, but that is why they have nine lives.
OC: Looking for Kazuki. I know you will notice this thread, so come and get me. I will have some better posts after I am off my shifts.
