There wasn't much need for packing. The most essentials was all he had with him. Food, a few pots and pans, sleeping gear, a couple of books and notes, and chakra paper, because you never know when you get a chance to test stranger's potential.
He huffed and puffed as he settled his backpack again, and then continuing on his trek towards his home from home. It had been several years since he had last come upon the great walls, had they changed maybe? Had the village itself changed much?
He couldn't help but ponder how big the village would have grown, both by size and populace density, a whole new generation, maybe even several must have walked through those gates after he had left with permission.
The letter that had come by courier was quite the surprise here he had thought his time at the village had gotten recorded in the books as a lost cause, he hadn't thought (but deep down hoped) that he'd ever return.
It was time for new beginnings, this time around he had a mission, a goal, a purpose that was above just killing and murdering whoever that was pointed at. He was going to TEACH, he was going to SENSEI the NEW GENERATION, and this idea burned within his soul and heart like a pure and brutal passion for learning, the thoughts alone made him eager and made him hasten his steps like he was listening upbeat tune in his ears as he walked further up the hidden passageway up between the clouds up in the mountain holding up the village.
He had plans for all kinds of things, many lectures and classes he had been working on whilst traveling on foot, he wasn't running like he usually would have since it was a moving trip and not a mission. His homebase was being moved to the older and far superior one. He could almost feel the hustling and bustling of the city within his heart as he thought of his past, the missions he and Akira had went on, the missions Akira had sent him on, and Tetsuo had returned beaten and blasted to a pulp. Usually always a successful mission, but hard they were, in his mind Akira always had an eye for missions that was right up there with ones skill level, he always knew exactly how he could push someone further than their limit, to up oneself to get better, stronger and smarter every time they left they returned from the chosen mission. And while Tetsuo was never an ANBU himself, you could easily say he was trained as one due to his relationship with Akira, the now Kage of the village. One might call it admiration, but Tetsuo liked to refer to it as pure respect for a strong leader. Not sensei, friend, ally and leader in most missions.
It wasn't long that his mind trailed off and his feet continued on in his brisk pace. His furry eyebrows perked and his eyes widened as he had reached a high point of the road and suddenly he had a vast overview of the great gates that separate the outside with the insides of the village itself. "Ah, HOME! he couldn't help but think, his body warmed up, and his energy felt completely renewed, it was finally time.. To greet his home again.
