For many long weeks now the rogue kunoichi known as Kurutteru Akegarasu had been in the land of Tsuchi no kuni. The land of stone had offered some entertainment to the psychotic young girl yet she was not satisfied. The people of tsuchi had been weak for the most, their shinobi had not troubled her at all and many innocents were dead due to their failures. The inability of Iwa had been noted, the great villages star had dimmed. Blood was in the water, and soon the sharks would come. For now however it was time to move to pastures new, where tales of a certain grizzly girl may not yet have spread, but they soon would. Hi no kuni was waiting and without looking back Kuru skipped her way along the long winding road which eventually would take her out of the realm of stone.
Though the journey was long Kurutteru passed the time idly with a few of her favourite pastimes. On her first day out of tsuchi no kuni she killed a fellow traveller, for no reason other than the sheer enjoyment of it. On her second day she robbed a wine peddler. On her third day she reached the lands of kusa no kuni, her destination was not to far ahead. The wheather had been for the most part warm, now well into the lands of kusa kuru revealed beneath the bright blue sky and shining sun. Though the terrain was for the most flat and grassy with a few rolling hills Kuru kept a sharp eye out for others, it did not do for a shinobi to slack. Rogues knew this best of all.
Kurutteru sauntered along at a steady but swift pace, her attire was much lighter today. The cloak of black she usually wore was packed away. She wore instead a black blouse partly undone giving a glimpse of her cleavage, a stylish and short black and red patterned skirt and a pair of short heeled black boots. Her hair in the light of the sun looked more purple than black and her eyes shone with reckless madness. Time passed by idly and the landscape shifted with it, soon the young kunoichi came upon the edge of the great forest that marked the land of fire.
