 | Tension. That was the only way to describe what was in the air in Otogakure. There were mere days left before those who had been willing to step up would be sent to Onomichi. The village had already become host to a relatively large number of Shinobi from the other villages. They were just waiting on a few more teams, from what he had heard. It felt almost unreal to Ryota. Just a few short weeks ago, he had been on a trip to The Land of Earth with a friend. Now that friend was out of commission, and he had very recently been given an award for managing to bring him back safely. On top of all of that, he had stepped up to head out to Onomichi. Any other person would have spread out that number of big events, and he knew it. That was partially why he had taken a break from his seemingly endless days of training. He needed to take these last few days to rest. Besides, he was stressing himself out with how much he raised his own expectations. Regardless of how much his mind wanted him to go right back to training, to 'earn' that award he had been given, he wasn't going to. Instead, Ryota had found himself wandering the village proper. With as many teams of Shinobi as had been sent, it was quite probable that there would be new faces. New faces meant new distractions. New distractions meant that he wouldn't be so focused on other things. That he could be himself again. The thought brought a small smile to his face as he shoved his hands into the pockets of that bright jacket of his. Perhaps he could make friends outside of the village. That might be nice. After all, they had all been willing to send people, and it wasn't quite time to march on the village of Onomichi yet. Why not take some time to meet new people, make new friends? Friendship was always good for the soul, after all. With that in mind, he began his trek towards the center of the village, where most of the new arrivals had been given living arrangements for the week. It was time to socialize. |
LAIKA OF GS!
