In the Mountains [Kuro and Mack only, No Kill]

Mack was lazily and aimlessly strolling through town, not really thinking of anything to do. Mack knew that it would be wise to train his newly mastered byakugan’s abilities, but really felt no motivation to train today. Mack looked around at the village that he had grown up in as he walked, he saw all the usual sites of the somewhat boring Kumogakure township. Children running and playing with their parents, food stands, shinobi on break taking leisurely strolls through town, it was all sort of cliche, Mack didn’t like it. To get away from this sickeningly happy place, Mack would seek seclusion in the mountains, a location which he seldom visited. Mack only went to the mountains when he was feeling particularly depressed or angry. Mack was used to living in a very crowded part of Kumogakure, so he rarely got any ‘me time’, any time when he could be truly secluded and have privacy. The walls of his apartment were also paper thin, so he could hear the cacophony of what was happening in his somewhat disheveled and unruly neighbors’ apartments. Mack made the trek to the mountains relatively quick, encompassing a timespan of only 10 minutes, due to their proximity to the village. Mack would scale until he was at the peak of one of the mountains, about 50 meters in the air. Below him, was a deep valley that encompassed 100 square meters, the area was littered with logs around his size, there must have been some sort of storm that had blown debris into the valley. Mack would sit indian style, cross-legged on the peak, it was just big and wide enough to support Mack and Mack only in this position. From all the way up here, Mack could see a whole mile of what was below him. In order to see even more, Mack would activate his byakugan, so he could see even further as well as see chakra, and see everything around him. From up here, Mack would peacefully sit and watch things happen, he decided that if he saw somebody approach his location, he would train with them, as he was here anyways...
