It was a peaceful night in Kusagakure. Kenji sat upon a rooftop staring at the stars and the waning moon that were hoisted above him. He often marveled at their simple beauty and they now brought him calmness after the day's events. His last mission had left him with several bruises and even a black eye. However, these were not received in combat, but merely by a woman he had the displeasure of working for. The thought of which left him without rest no matter how much he desired it. As he relaxed, a small bug would fly towards him and land on his outstretched finger. They were small, fragile, and insignificant on their own. But the birthright he had long since forsook saw more potential for them in greater numbers. Personally, he found the use of them dishonorable and weak. What he accomplished would be by his own strength alone and not with the help of some parasitic creature.
A nearby thud would stir him from his wondering mind. 'What could someone be doing at this hour?' Kenji thought to himself as he leaped down from the rooftop and moved towards the source of the sound. He worried that it could be someone or something that he would not be able to handle in his current state, but it was his duty as a Kusa shinobi to investigate. Eventually he found the remnants of used training equipment, a tree that served as a holster of a sword, and a tired man that sat under it. “It is strange for someone to be out at this late hour. May I ask what it is your doing?” Kenji would say as he lowered his hood. It seemed that there was someone in Kusagakure that shared his current insomnia, but whether that meant a good or bad thing, he had yet to find out.
