Welcome Home

Rokku descended from the mountain peaks that surrounded the new village with care, taking the time to examine the surrounding terrain and watching the new building rise in the village he would now call home. Rokku approached the quiet gates, unsurprised by the lack of shinobi guarding them, that would come in time and no doubt he would also have to take a few shifts whilst the village slowly found its feet. Rokku stopped outside uncertain whether he should simply walk in or await further instruction. He pondered what the best route to enter was whilst looking up at the large gates in wonder.

From the side as Quinn watched many venture down toward the Nahualan Gates many civilians and shinobi came and went. It was clear that many stood gazes fixated on the place that they would be call home now. As many stopped to stare, a firm pat on their back would waken their stupor hopefully as Quinn strode from one shinobi to the next. "Welcome to our new home." Quinn announced to the group they led forward as they gestured inward toward the growing village before them, Kemonogakure no Sato. Their responsibility in the meantime was to make sure all made it alongside make sure no undesirables followed them in.

Rokku's gaze remained transfixed on the gate lined with furs of various colours, the word rustic sprang to his mind unbidden, it was certainly a far cry from the elegance and sophistication of the hidden sound village but Rokku liked the new aesthetic, it was wild and rumbunctious, with a primal animalistic energy that would likely align with his music much better that his last village. Rokku was still in this loop of thought and possibility whilst staring at the gates when he felt Quinn's hand on his back, urging him and each other member of the group present to proceed and welcoming them home. It was a strange thing to hear, a foreign village in a foreign land was now home. At least here Rokku would be free to design his own fate and pursue his own goals and ambitions and he looked forward to seeing his families faces and welcoming them to their new home.

Before entering the village properly, he removed his Otogakure headband from his pocket, holding it in his hand for a few final moments as he looked at the Nahualan Gates. He formed the signs of Serpent -> Dog -> Boar and sunk into the ground using the underground projection fish technique. He moved below the entranceway and released the headband, encasing it in the earth below the walkway of the gate before rising again to the surface and releasing the technique.

Once inside Rokku put his pack to the side and put on his Gaia gauntlet and custom ninja guitar, enjoying their familiar weight after so long wearing a p[ack and travelling. Rather than head into the village Rokku made his way to the gates, beginning his first shift guarding them unasked and unbidden, eager to take on responsibility within the village however small it might be.
