Veni Vidi Vici [KIRI TRAVEL TOPIC]

His stay in Konohagakure had been an interesting one that had imparted many tokens of knowledge to the Mizukage. It was a journey he was glad he made despite his failure to find any conclusions to the issues he'd came for. The mystery of the disappearing Uchiha, the ghosts of others.. they were all merely phantoms and that was a difficult thing to come to terms with for a man who was so hung up on vengeance and punishment. The people themselves had been rather hospitable despite their position and Xyxer was almost sorry that he hadn't first got to experience the village without being seen as an invader. It must be a sight to behold.

Young shinobi had been informed to rouse up the shinobi of Kirigakure and send them back to the ships, a rather abrupt decision so as to maintain some level of capability within his village. Xyxer himself stood next to his maiden vessel; the prominent, wooden ship swaying dominantly in the ocean, about fifty feet out.

[Come on Kiri kids let's go home]

Aryll arrived first once again, the massive frame of Ludwig giving her an advantage when loading cargo onto the ship. She did not acknowledge Xyxer, because while part of her was tempted to finish what they had started, but attacking him now would make her just as bad as the man she now knew to be a monster. For now, at least, she'd bide her time. She continued to load cargo onto the ship, boarding it with her massive armor once she was finished. 

She had decided to leave Thane in Konohagakure. Hidden away in the cellar she had used as a workshop and covered with a tarp, Thane would await Aryll, should she ever have need of him while visiting. She found it was generally good to have a backup plan, and so her first puppet would act as hers. She imagined she'd be spending more time in Konohagakure now that it was a Kirigakure territory, so having him tucked away like that couldn't hurt.

Limping on the road out of the village, Angel held her shoulder that took the brunte of the fire that Hikari threw at the young uchiha. The blonde girl would walk out and make her long journey home.

It was time for Kotsuzui to leave behind His home and join that of Kirigakure. Unfortunately he hadn't given his farewells to everyone. Whether that was intentional of by mistake the Kaguya wasn't sure. Either way it was irrelevant. He knew he would eventually be back in Konohagakure at some point, or so he hoped. Carrying his usual shinobi gear, the only thing he had on him different today was the bag of clothing he had slung over his shoulder. As he parted from the gates of Konoha surrounded by the masses of Kiri shinobi the Kaguya refrained from turning to give his home one last look before parting. Konoha would always be his home. He knew what it looked like, what it smelled like. He didn't need to get one last look to keep the image of home in his mind. Sure it wasn't easy leaving. But it was necessary.

Eventually he along with some of the Kiri ninja would come upon the body of water where Xyxer and the monstrous ship they had arrived in where waiting. Kotsuzui took his final steps on the soil of the Fire Country as he stepped onto water and approached the boat. Undoubtedly passing by Xyxer, Kotsuzui would refrain from speaking but would have his eyes fall upon the man. Observing the rest of the Kiri forces, if they were to greet their Lord in any way Kotsuzui would follow suit and do the same. Otherwise he would take his first steps onto the boat that was to take him from Konoha. Finding his resting place, Kotsuzui would hold himself up there and only come out if requested. And of course leave from time to time to eat and answer nature's calls.

The ship towered over the bay as it rocked gently back and forth in the water, moving with grace despite the enormous load it had to carry. She quietly climbed aboard the wooden vessel with ease, her small frame making its way up the path in no time. She would have greeted the Mizukage but she had just finished discussing with him her plans for travel, and as such, did not need to further converse with him as she boarded. Once her heeled boots thumped lightly against the floorboard her eyes took in her surroundings. First, she took note of the plethora of shinobi silently milling about the deck, none of whom were familiar to the Hyuuga. It seemed those she had seen on the battlefield were resting or working in chambers beneath her feet.

She moved on to the scenery around her, taking in the deep navy of the water enveloping everything in sight around them. Hikari had never been as close to the ocean as this moment, and if she had been able to, she would have jumped off the boat into the sea, and used her surface walking jutsu to walk alongside the ship. However, due to her circumstances, she remained stationary by the edge, her hands lightly holding onto the railing to keep herself steady against the rocking. 

Her eyes drifted from the waves crashing and reforming beside them to the shore, before making their way to the treetops, and the path one would take if they were heading to the village. If she activated her Byakugan she would have been able to see past the foliage, all the way to the beginnings of the village, up to the buildings that had been recreated after the fire.

Konohagakure.

It had been her home for twenty years, yet now the vibrant green was a stranger. She didn’t belong there, mixed with murderers and those willing to throw away what they stood for to save themselves. The moment Salzem had unwillingly left her, Konoha had felt like anything but a home, and she doubted it would ever feel like one again. 

She bore into the soil near the village gates, or what she could see of the area they had used as a battlefield. It reminded her of the brother that was taken away from her, the last of her family. Hikari’s eyes burned with a fiery passion, the extent of her feelings being kept hidden within because the last thing she needed was for someone to witness her murderous glare and confront her about it. She would probably be thrown overboard for the reason she was filled with hate since Kirigakure did not believe in such close ties with others. People were more like animals, the stronger one was the more likely they were to survive and the weaker one was the more likely they were to be slaughtered. Life held no value, even the strongest of their shinobi might end up dead if they make the wrong move. Their view on life was the one aspect Hikari could absolutely not agree with; she believed every life was worth saving (except of course for Yensung Aburame) and she made it her mission to make sure no one else would experience what Salzem had to endure. Being betrayed by your comrades for being deemed too weak to live was a fate crueler than anything else in the entire world.

A member of the crew pulled her away from her thoughts and back to reality as they tapped on her shoulder. While she turned to face them, they began speaking in a gruff tone, ordering her to assist them in organizing the rooms down below deck that held their supplies and the items they had taken with them from Konoha. Xyxer had informed her this would happen, it was the price to pay for joining them on their way home. She obliged and, after returning her clothes to her storage dimension to be put on at a later time, followed the large man down spiraling staircases, having to hold onto the railing tightly as the The Silence began its long trek to the shores of Kirigakure.

Actually I was informed I could claim WC from this thread (since my char is leaving the village).

Due to this, I would like to state that my TWC is 703 and that I will be claiming those words towards something at a later time. I'm sorry for the confusion and mess this is >_<
