Long Road Ahead!; [T]

[Chae]

After the passing of a chilling wind, leaped off the bottom-most area of the cliff and landed onto the ground. Crouched, Ju came to a full stand and hoisted his claymore above and over his right shoulder thereafter. His tongue moved around his mouth and instantly noticed that something that should have been there was missing. His lungs let go of an annoying sigh as he reached into his haori with his free hand and retrieved another stem of wheat. Placing it into his mouth, he finally began to walk and decided that he wanted to visit his home before heading out to the next assignment. Truthfully, he considered the Tsuchikage assassination to be quite easy, however, he refused to underestimate the others that remained. He hadn't felt to good about leaving the battle so early, but things had gotten just a bit hectic and having actually completed the mission to the fullest, Ju had not reason to just stay.

"Looks like I got paid in advance too.", Ju said to himself as he stepped through the loam of Tsuchi no Kuni while looking at his new pouch of money. Heading home, he instinctively envisioned and replayed the events that transpired on the cliff. It was only natural that he did, but as a shinobi it hadn't happened out of guilt or remorse, but for calculation and analyzation, seeing what he could have done to be more effective. The longer he dwelt upon the situation, time seemed to progress even faster and before he knew it, Ju crossed back over into his homeland.
