Ryuichi stood in front of the gates of Kumogakure. His large coat not doing much to help the chilling winds the land was known for, the boy had to hold his lantern closer to his person in order to give himself some warmth. His eyes, while not completely faded, lacked the distinct Rinnegan purple color, and many of it's ripples as it seems to have faded overnight for some unknown reason. In it's place, a red rippled pattern remained. What this meant for Ryuichi was yet to be discovered, but he didn't have the time to figure it out just yet.
Right now he wanted out, and out he would go. With a large backpack, two large canteens, his trusty fishing pole and lantern, and countless scrolls of sealed ANBU tools hidden from plain sight, the boy was ready to go.
Having avoided Uri by some stroke of luck, he approached whoever was on gate duty, or whoever was on hand who had the authority to see him out.
"Akaime Ocha, Genin of the main branch. Requesting exit under direct permission of one of the three great Sennin of Kumo." He said, holding up his 'false' passport, which by all intents and purposes was exactly like any normal one. THis was due to it being an official Kumo-issued false passport for ANBU that wished to hide their identities.
He was partially upset that he didn't have the guts to say goodbye to anyone, but if all went well...he would return.
-Otani Ryuichi (And his ghost, Yoya), requesting exit! All threads I've been in have been ended due to inactivity, and passport was received here
-anyone wanting to say goodbye is welcome to join.
