Visiting the Forest (Open)

Shinichi would enter the forest silently and would look around for any other people. He would then sit down and lean against a tree listening to the song that the birds were making. The Konoha forest was such a serene place unless you confronted a bear that wanted to rip your face straight off of you or a person came and interrupted your time to relax.

Shinichi wanted to be here before he left to go to Ame in hopes to find a village that he could call home. He hadn't truly had a home since Kumo was taken over and really wanted somewhere to call home. He longed for it, it was almost like he was dying. Shinichi would then stop thinking and would close his eyes to relax within the forest in hopes that nobody would come and kill him. He'd also hope he didn't go eye to eye with a bear.

Fenn was making his way to the gates of Konoha when he caught a chakra signature, so he went off in the direction of it, meanwhile he studied the forest scenery, this was a great place to study his what the Senju could be capable of, but in short order, Fenn came across a kid, who he could see holding a Kumo Headband, with a mark through it, Fenn would straighten up and cleared his throat as he approached and announced to the kid "So who are you, and why do you have a mark through your headband, one might think your a missing ninja".

Of course Fenn no longer had his Headband or mask, anything to depict where he was from, he was like a ghost in the world, No indentifier other then his word, he waited to hear the response from the kid, meanwhile his hands ran over the bark on the trees and inspected them closely, he could not tell if this forest was natural or not, this was truly incredible, his outfit being black with a red stripe, and his hair blonde, his ears down against his head flat, he stood there looking rather intimdating to most.

Shinichi would hear someone approach him and listen to them speak. He'd then open his eyes and turn around to see someone who was around the same age as him. He'd then reply to answer his question, "My name is none of your concern at the moment and I am a missing ninja, my home was destroyed I have no place to go, no village to call home."

He'd then look carefully at him and notice he didn't have a headband. He'd then ask, "So why do you not have a headband? Are you a missing ninja too?" He'd then stand up and look him in the eyes waiting for his response. He was curious to see why a person who would possibly be a missing ninja would concern himself with another missing ninja.

Fenn would rush over to the ninja, even though he was the same age, he was in experienced, he would aim a hand for the collar of the kid and then lift him up with one arm up along the tree, Fenn growling softly "Your name does concern me as long as you hold that headband and claim to be a Missing ninja, as for myself, No I am not a Missing ninja, I am a Wanderer"

Fenn would continue to hold him up, waiting for the ninja to once more come clean about who he was and why he had the Kumo head band, if this was indeed a Ninja he had to hunt then he would take care of him, but if he was truly calling himself a wanted ninja over a village being destroyed then Fenn would have to help correct the kid before he made a hasty Mistake.

Shinichi would gulp as he was lifted up and pushed against the tree. He'd then listen to the guys question and would answer clearly this time, "My name is Shinichi Yuka, I left my village because apparently it was destroyed. I had fled during the destruction but it seemed like the defenders had lost." He's then try to push against his arm and get down, it was too uncomfortable for him.

He'd then wait to see what the guy would do if he pushed against his arm. Would he release him or just strengthen his push? If he did that Shinichi would surely get hurt. He'd then start to stop pushing against his arm and would wait to see what the guy would say to him. Would he tell Shinichi that he was going to kill him or was he going to say that he was free to go?

Fenn would lower Shinichi Down to the ground and spun away, letting go of the kid and looked down to the ground as his hands gripped themselves " I am Sorry I failed you and the village Shinichi Yuka, I am Fenikkusu Fushuchiro, I was once an ANBU operative of Kumogakure, but I was left abandoned and one of our own turned on us, I watched as the village began to get destroyed then I left, I am sorry Shinichi " Fenn would begin to cry as he thought about his failure.

After a moment he would clean himself up and spin around and put his arm on Shinichi's Shoulder and smiled as he marked the kid before the kid could find out, and he shook the kid a little " I promise you I will get our village back, even if it kills me, So why don't you tell me about yourself and what you aspire to do and become? WE have time to kill" Fenn would offer the kid a smile and waited for the answer from the kid, meanwhile he let his chakra flare to see if anyone would come to respond.

He'd listen to the man and hear him say that he was an ANBU from Kumo and then he would see how torn Fenikkusu was. He'd then say, "They must've been pretty strong and a traitor would've made it much harder. Don't say sorry to me either, it's also my fault that I didn't fight for the village. Even if it wouldn't have been a lot I would've at least helped a little bit.."

He'd then get shaked by Fenikkusu and listen to him speak once more he'd then answer his question, "Well I've changed what I strive to be multiple times but I'm sure that I can answer with confidence this time. I wish to be one of the best medics that the world has ever seen, I want to be able to support my comrades with that power too." He'd then smile and look at Fenikkusu and ask, "So what kind of ninja do you strive to be? You'd otta have some sort of goal even as strong as you are."

Fenn would Listen to the ninja for a moment, What kind of ninja did he strive to be? a goal? then Fenn would say to the Ninja, Shinichi, after some time "Shin...Is it ok to call you Shin? Anyways, Shin, I do not strive to be a Ninja, I Strive to be a Man, a Friend, and one day, a Lover, Goals? I have many, To Obtain more power is where I am starting right now, But one day, I just wish to live in peace with the people who matter most to me, I don't care if the rest of the world burns, if me and mine can live happily and peacefully, then that is what I want right now more then anything, but to Be able to defend it if need be, so I must get more power, that is pretty much my current goal in a nutshell, long term anyways, Short term, I would say to gather all who will help, Train them, and then when the time comes, take back Kumo possibly. Anyways, So Shinichi of the Yuka Clan of Kumogakure, tell me, is there anything you would like to learn while I am here with you at your disposal?" Fenn had carried on for a little bit and then asked his question, while he talked he looked away from Shinichi until the question, which he would look at Shinichi and smile for.

Salzem had been hopping from branch to branch amongst the trees surrounding Konoha all day. He was quite a bit calmer than he was when he last entered these woods, however that did not mean he enjoyed them any more. The main reason he did this was for exercise, going laps around Konoha's trees did not seem like much of a training regimen but doing anything enough times will cause you to get tired. As he reached a certain point, He would see Shinichi and some other person chatting in the woods. He hadn't left yet? Perhaps Shinichi had other business to attend to. The other person though was clearly not of Konoha. Living amongst those in konoha allowed you to just tell who is from where as the place was like the center of commerce amongst the remaining villages. Salzem found himself stopping his training, sitting on a branch, using the leaves for cover as he listened in on their conversation. As he listened, it appeared he had missed most of it, and It appeared as if this new guy was offering to teach Shinichi something. Perhaps he could pick up on whatever he taught from observation. He watched and waited, keeping noise and movement to a minimal.

He'd listen to Fenn as he spoke them he'd get excited when he had asked if he wanted to learn anything. Shinichi would quickly ask, "Would you by any chance know the water element? I really want to learn it since it's part of my Kekkei Genkai, the purification release." He would excitedly start to smile and then would start to calm down and wait for Fenikkusu to answer his question. If he knew the water element, it'd be a plus for Shinichi. He could learn it way faster with the help of another person. This is why he loved meeting new people, they teach him so many new things ~!
