Back to Basics (o)

Stroll

Just as expected, Iwagakure no Sato no longer amused the kunoichi, what was once a labirynth of palaces made of stone was now nothing but decayed ruins, shadows of their previous magnitude, slaves of their memories, yet this was not an empty and isolated place, though not what she could call a populated one. Few people where found here and there, trying to rebuild their own lives, memories, houses, belongings, everything destroyed though tried to be reconstructed. Eternal rivals of the neighbourhood where now aiding each other to regain what they have lost. On this scenario the girl would wonder to herself.

"Impressive what war could do when improvised... yet if planned and controlled it could do..."

[/b]

Though her statement was not finished, just an almost undetectable grin was shown followed by a giggle that gently and softly scaped from her pale yet tiny lips, among all the suffering, Rosario let her took the time to laugh of the disgrace of others, though not in a bad intention nor as if he wanted to, it just slipped through her mind.

However, this tiny joke could meant more to her than what people would think, she had been thinking that in this disgraceful world filled with sinners, undesired beings and corrupted minds war was the best that could have ever happened, though it did not ended as well as she would liked to, not that she was a fan of the war, just was positive about it, with the recent facts people behavior and beliefs have changed, the order have been almost restablished, if only it would not be because of the Samurais, maybe this could have been... better.

True sacrificies were done, though everything good needs something in return, nothing is free in this life, and if someone wanted to be done hard work shall be spent, in this case the lives and punishment was the hard work, and the motive was peace, however, as she had been thinking, war ended sooner than it should be.

"This place could have gotten even more... PEACEFUL"

Stopping her stroll through the village the middle ranked kunoichi would decide to sit on a bench close to her, or at least what remained of it, around her nothing but decayed houses and what tried to be a fountain without water running through it, yeah, it was peaceful, who could ask for more than this she would think. Turning head from right to left the lady would aim for someone to talk with, yet not looking for a conversation but information, social relationships was not one of the strongest points the kunoichi had in her armament.

Scarlet big eyes would open wide as she awaited for a shadow to appear to soon reveal its identity, in the meanwhile, another grin followed by the very same giggle shall escape from her.

"Hehe... After all, war is not as bad as people think"

[/b]

Enough with the rest

This sure was a lonely place, despite her efforts to find someone else to speak of the Iwagakure kunoichi decided that it would be better to walk and find one than rather stay and wait for their, standing up and watching at to once was the Tsuchikage tower, the lady wearing her old fashionated white dress made of silk shall pick both sides of it, the left and the right with her extremities, Iwagakure no Sato was a place that not enterily won a prize for having streets, dust, dirty and peebles scattered all around the place make it one of the worst places to wear a long dress, and now if we add the total destructions and ruins that nowadays the place, well, no more need to say more.

"One of the things I hated the most"

[/b]

Replied the girl to herself not speaking of wearing a dress, but speaking of the difficulty to wear one and keep it clean while in the village. Now, instead of going through the main streets and giant shops, restaurants, and other big locals, the silver haired kunoichi decided that it would be better to explore Iwagakure through its small and almost impossible to pass by narrow streets, the ones were the bad guys used to live, where the gansters, and what people may call, gangs used to gather. The Chuunin already spotted what the war caused to normal people, but what could have caused to the rest of the humanity? Minutes of walking, jumping and scanning would lead Rosario to what most people thought, nothing, it was absurd, the war had changed everyone, they all haver lost their roles, if from now on everyone would be the good ones what would happen to the bad ones, the balance of the world would be lost, the young kunoichi thought by looking at the desert streets of the low district of Iwagakure.

It was a total contradiction of beliefs, Rosario who had been thinking of the war as a good tool to accomplish order noticed something, what she already expected, the war did not end well, and not speaking of the deads, loss and destruction, but about what happened later, true people changed, though not in the way they should have, she wanted another type of order, there was no doubt about it, this war was wasted, or maybe... it hasn't ended yet.

"Unexpected outcomings of the war"

[/b]

Replied to herself while standing in the middle of a lonely narrow alley of the low district, the height of the building, or at least of what remained stopped most of the sunlight to pass by through it, making it an almost dark place, though impossible due to the hour of the day. Broken walls, doors and windows, a remaining wooden door could be heard being moved by the air and clashing over and over again against a stone wall, not even the usual sounds of animals could be heard, empty houses and vandalism everywhere, this was the sightseen of the day.{/justify]

"Is this what war brought to all of us?"

Anyone there?

Just where the fuck was everyone? A simple question for a realistic situation, it was obvious that war brought deads and losses, yet it was impossible for such a society to be vanished, true, there were still some other around, kids, adults, grown up, but where in the hell where the shinobis of the village, the kunoichi could not just believe that all of them had gone to the war and died, at least one of them should have survived, and as well, at least another one should have hidden from the catastrophe, but now the question was, where in hell where they?

The more she looked for a ninja the less she could get, according to some information and some other witnesses, most shinobi decided to leave the place after the war ended, whether it be to leave the shinobi life in the past and start what some people may call, a normal life, or just gone missing, taking advantage of the situation of the village, speaking of the massive destruction and the current lack of leader on it.

Yet, it was impossible, there had to be some others around there, some survivors of the war, someone else, who's mind has not changed, or maybe someone that could share her new vision of life, though to be honest it was not as new as some may think, what was inside the mind of the kunoichi was not a mystery to most people in Iwagakure, it was well known that she had such an strict sense of justice, and that, according to her beliefs, everything happened for a reason.

It seemed that there was no other choice but keep looking, until there would be no other corner in Iwagakure no Sato that hasn't been searched, no destroyed house without being looked into it, no place to hide from the girl, probably the best way to start would be the Tsuchikage Tower, and try to find the whereabouts of the so called temporary leader of the village.

"Though, to be honest it would not surprise me if the man had gone as well"

The silverish haired girl said to herself while making her way through the destroyed streets of the once amazing village, wearing her casual and very usual long old fashioned dress and her black corse, she would have firm steps towards the biggest building in the village, the control tower of Iwagakure. the Kage Tower, hopefully in her way she will find something else interesting to do.

A hero emerges

Wandering Through the wasteland

The young Shinobi emerged from a distance, his belongings gathered in his bag as he made his way towards the village gate through the ruins of the land he used to know and love. His mind telling him to leave this god forsaken place but the memories of those who where lost here still ran deep through his veins like the very blood which kept him going.

Though this was the saddest moment in the child's life, there was a glimmer of hope, his family had taken refuge outside the city, separated by the hardships of war but saved thanks to the actions of their clans leaders. The one he was most excited to see was his brothers..it had been over a year now they had not seen eachother but letters from him had given Tatsuo hope to see his brothers once again. Apparently he had taken refuge near another village, and they where in talks with councils seeing if they would be accepted


His head down as he traveled through, rubble and the gatherings of where buildings used to stand in this desolate wasteland. As he rose his head to make his way he spotted a young girl in the distance,

"Strange someone else would be here still"

He said as he neared the young girl, his knapsack slung over his right shoulder,carrying what was left what belongings he neared the girl waving and said out to her

"Hey are you lost or something?"

It had been days since the young kaguya had seen any other members of the village, so he was sure to keep an eye out in case she was a looter or something of that sort.. the shinobi world is a dangerous place to live.

Huh?

A so, a voice was heard. A boy around his teens shall appear into the scene, probably around the kunoichi's age, probably a little bit younger. A slow turn around shall give the chuunin a better perspective of the owner of such voice, just to notice that he was an unknown to her, probably a survivor, or maybe a thief, everything could happen at this point, slowly scanning the area to enphatize her following sentence the lady shall speak.

"Aren't we all?"

Refering to the recent facts, a destroyed land which used to be the home of countless souls was now reduced to nothing but ashes, dirt and the intent to restore the magnitude it once had. Grabbing her dress from the sides the kunoichi shall step closer, in an intent to not get dirty with the devastation of the place, such a long white dress needed so many cares, and the scenario was not apt for such an outfit, so cautions shall be taken.

"And what about you stranger, are you lost?"

The illusionist shall ask before stopping her walk, leaving her no more than a few inches away from the black haired boy that now stood in front of him, perfect distance to maintain a conversation. As for what they both could expect from the place, nothing but a total silence shall interefere with their conversation, though ocassionally, the sound of rats could be heard if lestened carefully, the ones hidden among the debris, looking for food and a way to survive in such a emaciated place. As for her, she would let her hands go the dress and maintain a more comfortable posture, where both of her hands shall be placed behind her back awaiting for a response from this new guest.

The young female before Tatsuo would then turn to him and reply, her white old style dress surely caught the young shinobis eye seeing as how it was still maintained into a perfect white tone despite all this rubble and dust everywhere. The young woman had a dead stare in her eyes, almost like looking into the eyes of a small doll. This girl kinda creeps me out he thought as she then proceeded to ask him another question as her hands where placed behind her back.

"You could say that, What was here for me once is now gone,so there's no point in me being here anymore, so im heading east..I dont know where im going so you could say lost fits me perfectly"

he said as he smiled at the young girl.. his headband would shine in the light reflecting towards the ground as he turned his head and smiled at the once unsurpassable gates of iwa, but why would he be smiling, this land was spilled with the blood of good men and woman alike, his old home now laid in ruins but somehow he cant help but smile.. an annoying trait some would not find but he couldnt help it, he just had to move forward.

No more Iwagakure no Sato!?

Such a paradox, should someone stay in the place once called home despite there was nothing left in there, or should they continue with their own life, though the destiny was still unknown? Surely, hard choices a shinobi, no, a person had to make. Since the war many people lost their families, friends, lovers, and even their muse for life, though what should they do now? What would be their new reason to live? Was rebuilding what was lost the option, or maybe creating something new out of the nothing? Countless of cases as this filled the whole world, though the choices were not as simple as already stated, despite someone could simplify it as the two options stated above, there was still something beyond that.

"Irony, isnt?"

The girl would ask while watching the boy, whose identity has just been revealed as shinobi of Iwagakure, the headband worn on his forehead was not there to look pretty, but as a sign of respect and loyalty towards the village, though in this cases someone could ask to themselves. What village? Rising my left hand and aiming with my index finger at to where the headband was located, the kunoichi's voice shall be heard once again.

"And what would that mean then?"

The emotionless girl was not at any point judging, but just wondering, if he were to leave then what would be the faith of his allegiance, would he be still loyal to Iwagakure no Sato, or shall be be written under the pages of the so fabled BINGO book, where one's faith is being rewritten, from the loyal ninja to the traitor of the village.

"You know, any choice like that should not be taken lightly, have you thought about it?"

A hero emerges

[

He noticed the shinobi headband she had pointed out

A fellow shinobi of the village he thought, such a classy woman enlisted in the shonobi ranks was surely something to respect. Tatsuo would then began to chuckle a little because of this.

"We wear these headbands as a symbol of unity, but without a land to unite us.. where all just lost in the wars aftermath"

A sad but true statement, surprisingly deep for the young boy to say as he would hear the young konoichi speak out again, asking him if he had really thought through this decision to leave iwa and he shook his head, his face no a more serious one.

"Im off to find my family, where that path will lead me I do not know.......but until I find them I cannot stop" he said as he paused for a moment and looked towards the gate and speaking again

"There wasnt any other choice really..there's nothing for us here anymore if you havent noticed, no council, no kage ,no rankings.. where just people now who a place to call home.. and mine is with my family."

His tone was a calm one, trying to find the logic in her questioning, she still had yet to show any emotion, maybe a sign of power on her part.. many experienced ninja where scared with a lack of emotion due to all the hardships they had faced.. but to the villagers of iwa.. everyone had faced hardship like no other village

"You surely dont plan on staying here in the village do you?" he said in a curious tone, surely such a elegant woman as herself did not plan on living in this pile of rubble he once called home.. but no more.

Far beyond the homeland

Such a paradox, should they stay in the isolated place and expect nothing aside from the present situation, or risk ones safety and go for the unknown. A quick glance to the man in front of her would make the silence to break once again, this to let the kunoichi speak and let her words to be heard.

"Not as if I had another plan, probably just staying for as long as needed, but if you feel that your time here has ran out then you should go"

[/right]

Finally she would stop speaking and turn around to give her back to the man before doing a couple of firm steps, the wind shall blow in a manner that the woman's hair shall slightly wave to the east, then, a simple turn of her head to allow her huge scarlet eyes to be seen by the Iwagakure shinobi, this time her face and sight shall express an emotion, despair. Quite a horrorific picture of a lady, porcelain face lady instead of having the same boredom expression now had shown one of the few emotions she could feel and express, all towards the shinobi and because of the statements previously done.

"But I can assure you something, next time we meet, I may not be this gentle"

The lady was not at any point threatening the boy, she was just stating the facts, and he, as a future rouge shinobi shall become an enemy for the kunoichi if he decided to take such actions.

J'ai faim!

Such a pleasant day and such the perfect time of it, the meal, in a while the kunoichi haven't had something decent to eat aside from rice and noodles, maybe it would be time for her to get a little picky and get something fancy, just to break the routine, and maybe to find something interesting to do, after all, if the long dressed lady was to be enclosed in her home all day she would never meet new people, yet her plan would be incapable to be fulfilled. The sky had the most brighty blue in weeks it have had, the streets of the village seemed to be a little bit more "full", at least since the last time she went on a stroll. Buildings where in a more decent manner now than before, there was no doubt of it, the village of the stone was getting its former radiant shine, just needed a little bit more.

On her stroll she would began to think, what would have happened to those that the Tsuchikage had asked to go with him in the past, which for an unfortune of destiny she was unable to go, where the dark beings still around the village, or maybe the peace inside the village was already restored? Something she surely can tell, yet she knew a few that could, another reason of this walk, hoping to find someone of interest, or better said, someone with info. It would only be matter of time from now on, now time to pick a restaurant.

News

It seemed as if the kunoichi had gone to a coma, up to now she didn't know a thing of what was happening on her village nor her ccountry, she has been so mind abcent for such a long time that due to her lack of knowledge about the recent news, anyone may think that she isn't even from around.

As the rumours spread the woman heard that the Chuunin Exams already took place, the silver haired illusionist tried to gather information about the winners, though without luck. Being sat quite close the attendance bar of a ramen restaurant the kunoichi was capable to gather some information.

As the words were heard the lady began to wonder about the recent facts, and so she would ask to the one that she thought, that at the moment would be the best one to ask, the chef. As the forty or so year old man was busy with his hands cooking the so typical food of the region his ears were so ready to listen to the words of the lady.

As her lips opened her beautiful was barely heard by the man, making it impossible for anyone else on the place to hear her, this due to the very low tone of her voice. In response, the man in white with knife in hand would grin in a very sarcastic way, asking if the girl really did not know of what happened during those exams.

A slow movement of head showed the man the response which came with an answer to her question. According to the man a catastrophe came up, ending with the destruction of the neighbour city and the noighbour village. Surely the Mizukage was a bloody one, but what causes would be had to do such actions? Something the lady could not know at this point.

The story continued as the sun began to hide, poeple coming in and out of the place and so the words from both characters.

For the surprise of others the horrible facts did not end there, as every village tried to rebuld what was destroyed a new enemy appeared, but not just an enemy, but a weapon for others, a bijuu. The lady had heard stories of the bijuus but never seen one in action, and surely, if one appeared others will come as well.

As the last drop of knowledge came out of the man's mouth the lady stood up from the chair she was sat on, her long white dress would then touch the ground as her feminine figure would be capable to be seen in this new posture. Her stilysh movements would take her out of the building as the moon rose up in the sky, during her stroll back home ideas and questions began to conquer her mind.

"What if..."

And so her figure dissapeared from the sight, she was no longer in a visible way on the streets of Iwagakure, the last sign of her presence was a giggle caused due to her curiosity, her thoughts about what to do now were a mistery for others.

Destiny

As the silver haired lady walked through the silent and obscure streets of Iwagakure, her mind would commence with a stream of ideas and plans of what to do from now on, there was no doubt about it, something big was just about to come.
