She found herself repeatedly clenching and unclenching her fist as she approached the mountain pass. This was the last place she wanted to be. If it wasn’t for the promise she made the old man, Haruka would of avoided it all together. A deal was a deal. She secured her hood once more over her head as she began to pass people.
She searched for his face. A face she refused to forget. Even though he understood so little about her and hated her so much, Haruka respected the Ishikawa. He had seen enough and been through enough. She couldn’t scorn him for feeling that way about her. He was right after all. It was her responsibility to protect Kumogakurian ninja. That day she chose wrong and protected Hoshikata. Never again…
Her burden of responsibility had been lifted. To protect her people. She was nothing but a danger to them all. Haruka exiled herself to a life of drifting. Without hope, she lost sight of ever returning home. Maybe it would save others. Save people like Ishikawa Zaku.
