Means to a end

[Bit]

"Oi, I think I've had enough for now."

Gin had been strolling a long rocky path lined with trees that draped over it, the path had lead back to his hometown of Kirigakure. The man had found his self returning back home from a long journey he chose to take to clear his mind. His past hadn't been all that great though it was filled with a bunch of ups and downs, throughout it and he felt he needed to reflect on it which is why he took the time off. 'I can't believe I'm going to do this.' He thought to himself as he continued the down the path. As he walked he would slide his hands into his pockets as his head tilted towards the ground, as he did so his hair would flow down into his face obstructing his view just a bit.

"Man I remember that time Sensei Hattori, Chae and I mobbed on Kumogakure." 

He'd say as he smiled while laughing a bit to himself. As he did so he would notice a small rock upon the ground, he would begin to kick it along the path.

"Ehh even though Akira looked down upon our success it was still fun, it was the first time I felt apart something."

As his words fell from his mouth he'd begin to feel a bit heavy hearted, his actions had caused him his own integrity. 'Even when I tried to lead that team.' He thought as he shuck his head a bit he'd kick the rock with a bit more force, it'd go flying down the path he was walking on. He'd pick his head a bit while his hair still covered his face. 'Almost there.' He thought as his eyes shifted back down towards the ground. His mind was still shuffling through a couple of different thoughts.

"Ah I remember when I got this seal, and when I got promoted to jounnin. They were both wonderful accomplishments.... But I didn't do much to deserve such an honer. I kinda feel like it was a handout to me, and I couldn't even maximize either of them to there full ability."

His heart begin to feel even heavier as he walked closer and closer to the gates. His eyes would begin to be filled with that watery glaze, he could feel his nose getting a bit clogged up. 'Shit I need a break from this shit.' He thought to him self as he picked his head up. A single tear would fall from his left eye as he arrived at the gates. The boy would continue you on into the village he had one destination on his mind while he walked.

" I guess I'll report stepping down to the higher ups."

He'd say to himself while he whipped the tear from his face, he made his way through the village he cleared up his demeanor a bit to look as if he was fine. It wouldn't take very long before he reached his kages tower, he'd push his way into the doors with the receptionist desk in his sight. 'Well this is it' his hand would move towards his hand pulling his headband from it. As he arrived at the receptionist desk he'd place it onto the table.

"Well miss, I'd like to official retire from the kirigakure shinobi forces, I won't be leaving the village I'll just be back on my family's compound. If you guys need me it won't be hard to find me, it was a pleasure. Please tell akira I felt I needed a break from this life."

As Gin walked away he'd smile a bit knowing that he'd have more time to spend with his own family.
