Open Walking through town

[Rin Naomi]

Naomi had just bought some groceries that she was now bringing home. It was about nighttime as she was bringing stuff for dinner. They were going to have some steak with mashed potatoes and green beans all slathered in gravy. Just the thought of it made her own mouth water. She was a fresh new Genin so she had to help out around the house with bills and such. The death of her father had hit the family hard as even her own mother had to step away from the modeling business for a while to collect her own thoughts.

The young Genin would shake her head as she tried to push the thought out of her mind. Other Sand ninja have convinced her that it wasn't her fault, that she didn't know. But another part of her still blames herself for what had happened. Could she have saved her father if she was more careful? Could the Medical ninja got to him in time to at least find a way to stabilize him? All these questions that she entirely doesn't know the answers to.

Her hands were full with the groceries as she continued to walk in silence. Eventually, she would set the groceries carefully down as her hands and arms were getting tired of holding them. She let out a sigh. She needs to learn to get better, how to become a ninja and get stronger on her own terms. Flexing her fingers and cracking her knuckles, she would pick up the grocery bags and continue walking home.

 

[Kyuji]

The day that could change the fate of Sunagakure and Wind Country was fast approaching. It was going to be an interesting time; hopefully we would be able to put the Baron Twins and their plans to rest and not have a long, drawn out conflict that saw many people give the ultimate sacrifice for our home. From the Council of Clan Heads the other day, it appeared that we all were all under the same understanding that our probability for success was not looking good and the able bodied shinobi in the meeting were willing to risk it all if they needed to including myself. Only time would tell what would happen to us all.

For now though, I was taking a stroll within the village in one of the many parts of the Residential Districts. I was only going on a walk to stretch my legs and allow myself to get acquitted with the village itself since I had been stuck at home for quite some time due to an unforeseeable incident that occurred in the Red Light District - one that I would re-investigate when I had more time and we were not facing a crisis as a village. As I continued my stroll, I would see a blonde woman roughly the same height as me in the distance with what appeared to be a bag or two sitting on the ground near her feet which could be a wide range of items from food to drinks to illegal substances to something that could destroy this whole area - how interesting and fun!

At the very least, I would need to make sure that the individual was safe for the village and herself. With a friendly wave and smile on my face, I would approach her and say: "Hi there! What is a young lady like yourself doing out this late alone?"

 

[Yamashiro Ryuni]

Ryuni, done with his duties for his father today would find himself just strolling. Thinking about everything that had transpired recently, the fight with Yuuto and the monkey. Beginning to learn more about his teammates, growing closer to them in a way he never felt like he would with anyone at this time. He was becoming close with a Renmei of all clansmen. It was amazing. But, also he worried for the future, with everything seemingly going his way he couldnt help but to think that this could be the calm before the inevitable storm. A Storm that would brew with the Twin Barons and the rumors that mulled about the village and amongst the shinobi. What would become of this ordeal? What would become of Ryuni if he didnt become stronger? His bond with Kobi was becoming stronger too... the pangolin summon had spent time trying to get him stronger in will to be able to push his body but to also heal him fro pushing too far.

It was all so much... So many spinning wheels on this wild ride his life would begin going down. Yet, it was all very exciting.

The different ways his life could go from here would be crazy... so many ways he could go. So many routes and decisions to be made. Twists and Turns. Ebbs and Flows. Ryuni was prepared for it... or was he? Was he ready for the days, months, years to come? Would he lose people close to him? His father? His Team? Hell what would he do if the Kage had been hurt? Lord Shin. A Man that had shown him such a great kindness... someone he respected... It was so much to worry about. He was so young. His body was strong, but was his mind? Could he make the decisions to help move his clan, team, village forward? Who knew... but right now... He knew he was in the right place.

And that made him happy.

Under he stars in the night sky... the boy wearing his Yamashiro robes, with his hands tucked behind his head, strolled without anything he needed to do particularly. He was simply out maybe he would grab a bite to eat, being that he took on some solo missions around the village. Alot of merchants needed a steady hand to help with their wares and valuables which would cause them to employ cheap but strong labor to ensure they were properly taken care of and thats what the young boy would do. Taking care of things like protecting the bazaar, or hunting silly people who thought they could get away with the five finger discount. It helped him pay for things around his house, but also allowed for him to begin taking care of himself when it came to food and his dwellings.

As he would stroll tonight, under the moonlit and starry sky, Ryuni would spot a familiar sight. Kyuji, his team leader. His sensei. The Champion. With another blonde girl? He didnt recognize the girl... Maybe because he was coming from behind her, but he knew many of the people from the academy. Seen them around the village or inbetween classes. However, she had set her things down. 'Those look heavy...' Ryuni'd think as he'd step quickly into the clearing to join the duo. 'Maybe its Kyuji-sama's daughter? She didnt say it but maybe she did have a secret kid... Juicy juicy~'

"Oioi! Kyuji-sama! Do you ladies need help getting this home?" he would smile as he stepped forward looking to Kyuji then to the other girl, pausing for a moment as he looked at her. His heart stopping for a moment. 'The heck was that.' he thought, "I can carry these, if you need ma'am." He would state before attempting to help her. "I'm sure your arms must be tired from carrying these from the shops down the way..." the lessons from his mother to always carry what he could for women. Be the best version of yourself for anyone you meet... He didnt always follow that but, he tried. He was getting better about it these days... maybe it was the help of being around Rika and Kyuji. He had many people h was pulling from to help him from day to day. He appreciated that... so many people helped him.

He was a blessed guy. He woudlnt take any of it for granted.
