Chō remained quiet as the others spoke, his attention shifting between each of them as more pieces of the situation began falling into place. The man Kiyoshi had called over first raised a fair concern. They knew nothing about one another. Chō certainly didn't. The younger one, apparently...

Chō had asked where he was needed. In hindsight, perhaps he should have expected the answer to come quickly. The sound of the gunshot caused his body to tense, one foot shifting beneath him as his hand disappeared into the sleeve of his robe. By the time his fingers found the edge of an ofuda...

The more Kiyoshi spoke, the quieter Chō became. A war. No... That wasn't quite right. The man had corrected himself. Consumption. His thumb absently traced the worn edge of the wooden plaque before he slipped it back into his sleeve. His eyes wandered across the courtyard, taking in the...

Chō listened quietly as the man spoke. His eyes drifted across the castle grounds once more, taking in the hurried movement of monks and shinobi alike. The feeling he'd noticed upon arriving made considerably more sense now. War. Preparation. Uncertainty. When Kiyoshi finally finished, Chō...

The voice finally pulled Chō's attention away from the castle grounds. His eyes settled on the man addressing him and for a moment he simply stared. Not because he hadn't heard him, because he had. But now came the awkward part. A quiet sigh escaped through his nose as he reached into the...

The sound of hurried footsteps crossed the courtyard before he had even made it past the gates. A few of the younger monks rushed by him, robes shifting with the wind as they made their way toward the castle proper. Chō said nothing at first, only stepping aside enough to let them pass as his...

Sentou had been ready to leave, but he did remain aware just enough to hear out the Merchant’s warning for Kasami. There was a lot of conversing about Mikaboshi that somewhat filled in a few blanks he had after talking to Kasami at the castle, but what little blanks were filled still left room...

Sentou gave the merchant an assuring smile to his statement, hopefully, those paths would be crossed sooner rather than later. He didn’t know much about the man, but there was something about him that seemed to put him at ease, even if he appeared a little shady. At least he wasn’t like the...

He felt somewhat defeated when Kasami began laughing despite trying to hold it back and even hide her face, he could feel a knot growing above his eyebrow as that disappointment grew into irritation, however that quickly faded from his facial features as he started to fully register what the...

Sentou lifted his head back a tad and cocked a brow as he was taken aback by the news that she hadn’t sent the invitation, but her father. Then who the hell was he and why go to the lengths of getting him, Sentou, involved? Screw it, it didn’t matter, and if this weren’t a sanctioned challenge...

Sentou stared at the merchant for a moment as he tried to process what he had said. Gum..did he just say gum? A puzzled young man would look back toward Kasami and Ko as if what he heard was a different language and they were capable of translating the message before he returned his gaze to the...

So this was Konoha. The village where many so-called legends originated from? He had heard stories of this place and its culture (whether from books or word of mouth), but sadly, it was outside his expectations. Maybe he enjoyed the hermit lifestyle he had grown accustomed to during his stay...

Having addressed Ko through a means of getting through to him, Sentou hadn’t cried as his allies had. He just couldn’t - not out of a lack of sympathy for the child and the others in the monastery, but because of the overwhelming nature of processing such raw emotions from not just the contents...

Not so much of a cowardly thought crossed Sentou’s mind as he jumped into the water in order to rescue Ko, the possibilities of there being danger and his fears couldn’t outweigh his noble cause. It needn't be said, but he knew if the roles were reversed, neither Kasami nor Ko would hesitate to...

Having come to from whatever it was he had experienced, Sentou was beginning to check in on the others. There was no logical reason that he could think of why he was just daydreaming in the middle of the library, it couldn’t have been an illusion, right? He still felt the burning sensation deep...
