My mind had been wandering all day, it had been thoughts of unappreciative people. This was no normal feeling for me, I was usually an strangely happy child. I thought as the path had started to curve away from the mountains that were off in a distance, I was now travailing on what seemed like a path to one of the many large canyons in the region. It had seemed like one of the most beautiful day's in Kami, hence why the boy stopped for a second looking around at his surroundings admiring them. "It's a beautiful day out, I'm glad I decied to take this trip out here." I would say as I stood at the entrance of the Canyon, It had been awhile since I traveled these parts actually about a year. Nothing much had changed around these parts, seemed like there were a few more wandering wolfs around these parts but it wasn't anything that I couldn't handle if they came at me. But even then I made sure I braced my hand on my Kunai as I made my way down this lonely path. "What's that in the distance?" I would say as I squinted my one good eye a little. "That man, he looks fairly familiar." I would say as my hand raised just above my eye trying to block out the sun that shined intensely over his head. I would continue to press forward with my had rested on on the hilt of my sword now to be cautious. Once my eye adjusted I was able to make the face out in the distance, It had seemed to be the Hokage. A smile would brace my face for a second acknowledging the mans presents. "Hokage- Tenrai, Jiyuu." I would say in a respectful tone of voice. “We just can’t stay away from each other can we?” I would say as my hand raised towards the back of my head I would begin to softly push my hair up down the back of my head.

A black winged demon soared in from the heavens, a fiend spat out from the Hells. His wings fluttered as the light fell upon the flying figure. It was almost ironic, the sun smiling upon him so nonchalantly, blessing Jiyuu with her rays, indifferent of the destruction his paper wrought in Upper Yard. Hundreds died to his hands, the blood of mothers, fathers, sons, and sisters forever upon his calloused hands. The war-torn soul felt the greatest of guilt; surely he was a demon, but an honorable one filled with regret, frustration, and anger. A frown spread across his face as he glared into the distance, heavy bags beneath the eyes hinting at a growing exhaustion.

Jiyuu landed before bit, steel grey eyes shifting over the boys figure. Such a fragile being, one eyed, but no less fierce than he in battle. The two fought together in the Upper Yard, and while they could not avert the destruction, the thrill of battle reverberated through their very being. The Hokage loved these echoes, for they gave him life, a purpose. Jiyuu was born and raised on the battlefield, and that crude growth manifested itself in a man completely and utterly shattered. Downright mad, some would say. A complete and utter hypocrite. The Hokage loathed the invaders for unleashing their fury upon Upper Yard, but he was no better, for in its ‘defense’ he destroyed as much as the fierce summoner he fought.

”It would seem not.”

[/color] he uttered, tone deep, a stark contrast to what one would supposed from his ragged figure. Jiyuu was truly unfit in the appearance expected of the Hokage after the battle earlier. The lower half of his trousers have been completely torn by flames, their damage visible beneath in the scars and red-hued skin. The pain still burned, but not as intensely. The man’s tunic was covered in dust, remnants of the sheer chaos that spread with Upper Yard.

As Jiyuu stood before Bit, the sun fell upon his figure most grandiosely, her beams falling upon his figure in a manner that seemed as if the God’s were smiling upon him. Truthfully, that was not the case. The Gods hated Jiyuu, and he knew that. Decades ago, he crawled forth from his mothers wound with a divine purpose. That purpose was abandoned. He was but a shadow of his former self, war torn, wrought with regret, guilt, trapped deeply in an existential crisis.

”Kuroso…”[/color] the Hokage grumbled, steel grey eyes not moving an inch. ”This land and Kumogakure are not the home for you. Where was the Raikage when we defended the lands? When we sweat and bled? The pain we felt should have been carried on the Raikage’s shoulders, but instead we bore the weight.”[/i] His tone was more intense than it had ever been. Jiyuu required a new warriors to join Konohagakure, to shine amongst all the bumbling shinobi at a loss due to the civil war. ”Follow me. You and I, we are born for war. Men like you and I, we have nothing in this world except to fight where we are needed. We will be revolutionaries.”[/i]

His figure would have beams of the sun shinning on it, I would begin to shift my body back a little. 'He kinda looks like an Angel.' I thought as the mans wings came to a slow stop, It had seemed the man had already had a plan in tact for the next time he had seen me. Because of the delivery of the speech he could tell that it was a well thought out process, I had truly agreed with the Jiyuu, the battle that had taken place in the capital was epic and caused great damage to our home lands and the Reikage was no where to be found. "Your words are right, The Reikage, a man who I had once thought of as a brother figure was no where to be found when such events went down. I my self along with your help and one of my fellow Chunnin buddy’s faced the threat alone.” With those words said my eyes would shoot to my feet for a second, I would begin to push the dirt around with my feet a little bit, it would dirty my shoes up a little . The Hokage had made a great point with his words, it had actually left me wondering thoughts running throughout my head as I pushed around the dirt up with my feet. ‘Going to Konohagakure, Noata’s there and it has been a long time since I had seen him.’ I would think to my self as I raised my head back up to Jiyuu, the breeze would pick up as I slightly turned my chin up looking off at in the distance then back into the mans eyes once again. “Well, You say we are men of war and that’s why I should join Konoha, Just to embrace this side of my self? What else it to this, is there any other reason you want me to come to your village?” I would say as a soft smile graced my face, the Idea of going to Konoha would be a much needed vacation away from my home of Kumogakure. As the wind picked up my hair would begin to blow in the wind for a second, before my hand made it’s way to the back of my head pushing the hair along it downwards over and over again.

Jiyuu continued to gaze at Bit intently, his breath raspy and audible. With folded arms he listened to the boy, tongue rubbing against the teeth. ”You are not needed in Kumogakure. Or do you think otherwise? If the Raikage does not give a damn about the Land of Thunder, as evident with the burning city, how do you think he feels about you? As you sweat, as your fingers initiate the dance of thunder, what does the Raikage do? Sit in idle. I, on the other hand, fought fiercely so that not only the citizen are safe, but you. I handled the largest of the bears so that you are safe, Bit.”

[/i]

That was not entirely the truth. While the words were still honest, he also fought because he just wanted that – battle. With a grim frown the Hokage recalled the battle. The fiendish bear, the earth titan, and the summoner, they outmatched him despite the fierce might he held over papers. Fortunately the fight came to an end, even an alliance of sorts was entered. The man he fought loathed the Daimyo as much as he.

”I require your help, also. The Daimyo, for too long, have clenched the world with their ironclad grip. We cannot allow that any more. That is why I require the deadliest warriors, the most capable soldiers to join me in my crusade so that the world is free once again.”[/i]

Jiyuu looked down at his hands, frown deepening. The world shall burn in the fires of war, yet not without guilt. The weight upon the Hokage’s shoulders will be great to bear, a load so heavy that he is uncertain whether he can bear it without thinking of ending his own life. Too many times had he felt so already in the past, and with what was to come, surely he will do so again.

”What do you chose, Bit Kuroso? Freedom? Or chains?”[/i]

At The Same Damn Time

I would listen as the Hokage Preached about the events that had taken place in the Capital of my beautiful country, of course I was enraged by the fact that it had been destroyed and I did my best to get the men that were responsible for doing so out of the Capital as fast as I could, but it was more too it than that the weight of a simi-guilty conscious seemed to be on his shoulder. The thought of the people he knew he effected with such large scale attacks he had to use against the man that was causing all of this trouble in his city. Jiyuu was right, the Reikage should have been there to bear the weight of this along side of Eiichiro, Jiyuu and my self but instead we did handle it alone.

"First off I will say the Reikage isn't as bad as you mad him seem, but you are also right that he wasn't there to aid us in battle when we needed him the most. Instead you had to fill in protect a town that probably meant nothing to you." I was say before I let a slight silence sweep over the moment. "lastly I don't need to be protected honestly, Though I am thankful for your help during this battle but I felt like I did a great deal or protecting my self."

I would say as I rubbed my thumb slightly across my nose using the hand that was moving around the hair on the back of my head, from there it would drop to my side as the breeze picked a little again blowing my clothing and hair around a little bit. Jiyuu would begin to speak again as my hands waved back and fourth slightly now matching the movements of the wind. He spoke of a war he wanted rage, it was on the Daimyo though something I hadn't even thought off for awhile. These sparked a note of curiosity in my mind, the Daimyo are the people who took control over the country's villages after the last Ninja war.

"The Daimyo you say? I am interested in this re vault against these men who think it's ok to control our village, and strip my kage of the power he once had over village affairs."

Now my swaying hand would make it's way to the back of my head as the wind stopped for a brief second as the Hokage gave me an ultimatum. Come along with or remain in chains, Bit didn't understand the analogy fully because he could do what he wanted when he wanted as far as traveling and what not.

"How about this, I offer my hand to you in battle against these Daimyo if you let me bring my cousin come back to Kumogakure after all of this over, I'll accompany you too the leaf now. But I have to tell you that I will never betray my country or my village, I love it too much along with my family that lives there."

I would say with a sense of loyalty building up in my voice, Most people consider me to be to young to formulate plans like this put I knew I could get something out of this deal, Noata was the perfect leverage for him.

"His name is Noata, I haven't seen him in a long time and the last time I seen him he was very Ill. Should we be on our way to your village?"

”Yes, yes, I know Naota. He killed a child.”

[/i] Jiyuu said, his tone deep and brooding. Naota’s slaying of the child was accidental, as it occurred during battle against rebels, but the Hokage chose not to mention that. Truthfully, Jiyuu did not know why he excluded the part of the incident being an accident – perhaps the man simply wished to be amused in a sickeningly gleeful way. The Hungerer Cult’s rampage in Konohagakure left the Shikigami with a rather dark sense of humor.

Jiyuu shrugged off the comment about the Raikage. He has never seen the man, despite the two villages being in an alliance. Still, the Shikigami had no respect for him whatsoever because the Raikage chose not to fight – and a man who refuses to raise his blade is worth less than the dirt on a whore’s corner-lounging feet. ”The issue regarding Naota will be deteremined by the success of my campaign.”[/i] Without another word the Hokage turned on his heel and went on his way, regardless of whether or not Kuroso followed.

The mountainous terrain of wore heavily on Jiyuu’s wounded legs, each step causing a slight burn, growing each moment. After some time of walking, the pain finally faded – not because the wounds healed, but rather because the legs have grown numb. Such a pleasant sensation, the cessation of pain, and upon noticing, a thin smile spread across Jiyuu’s face, an expression unusual for him. Yet, it did not last long, and the grim frown returned.

As the mountains descended, trees spotted the landscapes, their mighty branches falling against the horizon. Light gusts of winds send the leaves into a sway, each move of their dance sending a silent rustle through the landscapes. During the travel, various beasts scurried through the brushes, some running in sheer fright, others looking upon the traveler with a curious gaze. Jiyuu grew weary but could not yet come to a halt, for his home land was still in the distance.

Finally, after numerous hours of travel, the borders of Hi no Kuni loomed not so far in the distance. Plains separated the two lands at this crossing, hills arcing downward to allow for far sight into the distance. Even further along the path, the trees returned, greeting Jiyuu as he returned to his lands.

Moved! to Hi no Kuni

Finally Jiyuu returned to Hi no Kuni, his blessed home, a truly fine landscape with sprawling trees and rolling plains. With haste, the Shikigami proceeded through the lands, feet at a flury.
