Where the Wild things Are (Tenma)

The story took a little detour but our trio found themselves in a forest not too far from the village in which they were going to seek someone and lay low for a bit. Unfortunately as they stood near the forests mouth Shibuya looked in awe at the grand stature of the forest," This...wasn't here when I last came here i'm pretty sure of it, but hey its a place we can relax until the morrow comes and we go to the gates what do you say?," the youngest of the voices within his head mentioned though Erebes and Shibuya both just had a blank "You don't say" look on their face.

Walking into the mouth, Shibuya dropped their guise back into what would be the beginning of his looks, white hair and piercing yellow eyes. The eyes looked round and round for a moment almost in contemplation on what they could possibly do in this situation though as time would go on they would need to figure out a path of life so to speak or fall short into nothing but following someone. A sword with no master after all was just a blindly swung weapon, but was he his own master or...something else entirely? The thought echoed through the joint hive of  a mind until he shook it loose, his body stopping in front of a circle of trees. It appeared to be fourty or so meters deep in the forest and someone would have had to have made this entirely by chakra or the ecosystem wouldn't be able to support it. As he studied the trees he once again pulled out the book crafted by the other denizen in his mind and began to read over it in earnest," One would think if you had learned this technique you would have created something to make your body a living weapon. Given that through your memories you used a lot of weapons...Well did," Burn? A little but there was a truth in what he was saying.

"I'll have you know I was taken before I could actually do more with that technique, but at least you could learn a little more and do what I couldn't. In the meantime go ahead and get used to fighting and reading at the same time I need a nap," and so the younger Ametsuchi's voice slumbered within Shoko's head and he scoffed. With the book in his right hand he began to limber himself up for a moment or two before throwing a swift kick and in its place a resounding snap filled the air. A mix of stretched muscles and something else came shortly after as he balanced himself and continued to kick rather swiftly as he moved forward and back. With each page he switched his kicking leg until it smashed into a tree and he stood there with a mild look of annoyance. If a man knew anything it was to never kick a tree you didn't know where it came from. Backing up a bit he continued to kick to and fro before finally stopping and planting himself on a handstand just to finish reading the chapter he was on. For some reason he read better upside down than normally even with the feeling of blood rushing through to his head. With his senses stretched a bit he would know if someone came up to him, but when he would only smile as he stood back up and flipped the page with his index finger," Lovely day isn't it?"

Tenma himself occasionally did not mind reading books, specially as of late, finding his heritage, however, one thing that was always true about him was that he liked to be secluded if and when at all possible. Today however the gods above deemed otherwise, little to his knowledge however. Tenma had no idea of the plans for the day, only what he was planning to do himself, but as the saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray. Tenma headed to s Seculuded spot out in the woods, away from the village, In the edges of the wildlife reserve.

Tenma upon hitting the edge of the woods would run up the trees in a parkour style, and begin his travels by tree branch, however upon getting within so far of the Clearing he headed for, there was noises, and so he slowed his approach, as not to set anyone off into a defensive position, but rather hopefully if he was found out about, be able to be cordial with the person he heard from the latter distance of earlier.

He stayed in the tree on a branch at the edge of the clearing, looking upon the clearing for the man he had heard, and upon sight of the man would introduce himself "Hello down there, My Name is Ketsueki Tenma, I am a Shinobi of the village of Hoshigakure, might I ask your buisness for being in the wildlife reserve?" He did not have a tone that would come off as condensending, but rather more so to get his inquisitive point across to the person.

Upon the sight of this man, it seemed he was rather fit, with the oddest color hair, and his skin the color of a god himself, who knows maybe this man was a god come to earth, tenma did not know, and as grand as that would be, it was a frightening prospect all the same, he waited to hear from the man before doing so, the timing of Tenma's Arriaval would be after the man finished his book.

Ah so someone had came into the forest and when he noticed them speaking he looked up for a moment, over his shoulder if they were behind him and or rather if they were in front of him he would look up over the brim of his book and smile. They were courteous at least which to the missing ninja was a courtesy he was rarely afforded these days, but thus was the life of one who did not want to resort to the village system again. Standing up he would tuck the smallish book back into his ninja pouch and ponder over the question he had been asked," Good question. I suppose you could say i'm waiting for things to die down near the gates so I can gain entrance to the village for a quick reprieve and maybe some studying of the surrounding areas. Never know what a place like this could tell you," though he paused for a moment realizing he was speaking with an actual ninja of the village.

How curious this would have became as he pondered on just what he could find out," Alright Shib here's the plan. Ask the boy about the village and if she's in there. If yes proceed to step two, finding out where. If not? Well...Dunno Kasuga is the plan maker around here just don't screw it up," and with that the third voice had disappeared and on the inside he looked...miffed. As he moved from his own inner thoughts to the what had been going on outside, he scratched his head and looked around," Wildlife Reserve huh? That would explain the abundance of animals about, though who and when was this made exactly? Start off with the small questions and work up to the bigger ones, this is how people got information without sounding too...like a sneaky bastard.

Time had passed at such an abysmal state that the male had decided it was time to go.  His hands pressed together in a few seals as his body began to glow, a soft spot for himself so to speak. Of course to assure that nothing caused him to wind up stopping the attempt, he also made the first seal the same for a particular technique that would graciously allow him to get out of harms way while still performing his technique. While nothing outward would change, he would without a doubt be ready in case the male tried something to stop him.So he simply bypassed the male making a soft movement that the boy wouldn't realized had happened. As Shibuya disappeared into the depths of the forest to leave, the boy would realize that he was light a few things mostly a pouch of money that Shoko would leave behind after he had left. It was a nice fund that the male would no doubt give back at a later date, but until then he had something as leverage for the male to seek him out in the future. In a puff of smoke the male disappeared to head out to relax and sleep the day off.

[something like 128 hr and relieving Tenma of 8500 Ryo since that's what he had at the time of this meeting. So after approval that gives me B rank if it goes through]

Approved after 48 hours if Tenma does not respond.

As Tenma saw Handseeals, he would draw a kunai and shout to the guy "Whoa there, You better double think what your about to do" and if the guy would continue after that, then Tenma would throw his kunai full force at the right shoulder of the man. But as not to completely ignore the previous questions Tenma would answer them " by the way I have no Idea who made this or when, Its just a place to enjoy " hoping that no fight did actually start.

Welp this was unfortunate and now he had no reason to stay. From his current position he moved to walk away from the male and into the thicket of the giant forest, his eyes or more specifically his peripheral vision on the male and when or if he did something he would activate something to deal with it. Hoshi was not what he had in mind and now he needed a much needed vacay.
