Today was nice, a little cloudy, but nice. The crisp air of spring flooded the land. Akihiko was out of the village again, he didn't expect to be traveling so soon after returning home. Oh well, he loved traveling, and seeing new things, and meeting new people. Though here in tea, there were many things to do, like bet on who's gonna win the tournament, and play street games. Truthfully when Akihiko was not researching, he was probably gambling some savings on a street game, sometimes he'd win, but usually, these games were full of cheaters. This wasn't Akihiko's first time in town, no, he'd been through Tea once or twice before.
Akihiko was a young man, standing at six feet. He had long purple hair and amber eyes. His clothing was a little western, but it was comfortable for him. Visible on his right arm was a leaf headband, to show he was from Konoha. This little village was full of ninja from all over the place. It was perfect to meet new shinobi, and form new bonds.
Akihiko was watching a marble game, he heard an announcement, but due to the crowd shouting, and yelling about the game he could not hear it clearly. "Ey, what'd the announcement just say?" Akihiko asked someone near him, it was some guy watching the game as well.
"I don't know, probably something about that ninja thing going on, its been blasting off all day." The guys said with a shrug, then he went back to cheering.
Akihiko shrugged, it probably was nothing. This marble game was nearly over anyway, and it looked like his guy was winning. "Come on! Just one win for me!" He cheered, and a few moments later...
Akihiko was walking out of the alleyway while stuffing his pocket with a wad of cash. "Another win in the bag, I should go find another game to bid-... uh..." Akihiko stopped in mid-sentence. He felt a little light-headed, as he looked around the main road was almost empty. "Is this a genjutsu?" He wondered out loud, then he shook his head. This wasn't a genjutsu... He felt a little weak, and light-headed, he wasn't sure what was going on.
