Inoryu's Journey Across the World [Travel][O]

[Inoryu]

    Deep in the meditation, Inoryu was assessing how these thoughts were affecting his mood. He felt afraid, confused, and anxious to confirm or deny his theory. He weaved a series of hand seals quickly; serpent, dragon, bird, ram, and affected the oscillating winds so that they became virtually non-existent. The rain pattered against him softly and without the wind he was able to retain his warmth. He focused on his breathing and tuned into the moment, the land was covered in puddles and the humidity mingled with the Summer heat. 

    He glanced over at Satu who had dismissed his umbrella in favor of the rain. Inoryu thought he might be feeling a little warm. Despite the weather, Inoryu loved the sound that the rain produced, and the occasional thunder was cathartic. The soft pitter-patter that drummed against the leaves and dirt had a soothing effect on him. He was very relaxed when he saw a stranger headed in their direction in the distance. The stranger was a tall man wearing a robe of cloth that was dyed in two different shades of blue, beige pants and plain boots. When they were in hearing range, the stranger spoke out, "I am a broker of the BINGO book and am recruiting anyone to take up these urgent missions. Hmm..." the broker hummed, "I was told to keep an eye out for you two. If found, I was directed to inform you that Itada Seiryu requests your assistance, and to present this mission to you." 

    "I see," Inoryu said as he read over the mission details and browsed through the others. They were missions to rid the land of proliferating undead infestations. "It seems the same phenomenon that occurred in Aokusa and Tsuchi no Kuni is happening here too, Satu. Kusa no Kuni and Ame no Kuni are neighbors, the infestation here is more urgent than Tsuchi no Kuni's. It would be best if we caught up with Itada and worked with him to complete these missions." Inoryu gazed at Satu, wondering if he had any objections. He wanted to explain the Rain ninja's political stance, but Satu wasn't a ninja of the Grass and that information was need to know. "Where is Itada?" Inoryu asked the broker and observed him point Northwest.

    "Follow this direction in a straight line and you will find him within a mile," the broker stated. 

    "Thank you," Inoryu said, "Come on, Satu. For now on, stay close to me."

    Having this new awareness of his divine self made for quite a new experience as he held the halo aloft. Its shine was constant as his faith and was not wavering like his emotions. Inoryu seemed to be in his own world. Satu deemed this new development was all thanks to Inoryu and he grinned at him. "The smell of the rain is fragrantly pleasant." he said pleasantly to his traveling companion. 

    What could the gods have foreseen in regards to his traveling with Inoryu. It made no difference and it seemed that such a topic would be met with indifference if it was attempted to be brought up. Surely the study of religious cultures would be available in some sort of library when they met with the nearest town. It would need to be studied with deep understanding to reach the answers concerning his upbringing.

    Persisting through the rain was still the most exhilarating thing Satu was able to do up to this point in his journey with Inoryu. In his wildest dreams he could not have perceived the life unfolding before him. He trusted the gods to securely set the stage as his growth ensued as a shinobi.

Upon reaching the end of the bend in the road a stranger approached the two and exchanged words with Inoryu. Satu would do as he was told and follow Inoryu to deal with the undead threat at the request of someone unknown to Satu. "Lead the way Inoryu."

    The rain had paused for a moment after parting from Itada, but a light drizzle became a pleasant and marshy sun shower. "The sunrise truly is magnificent here," Inoryu thought. He loved the sunrises in Kusa no Kuni, patient and long until completion, when he could thoroughly enjoy the weather, the transitioning hues of fauna, and had spent many mornings training throughout his lifetime. The wonderful display from Ame no Kuni was heightened by the novelty and the experience of the wetland was grand, but he tried to imagine the environment as an indigenous person and thought that it would be tiring to be constantly pummeled by the rain.

    Kusagakure was easy to love because the weather was nearly perfect all year round, resting on the equator there was fine weather all year and though it was still humid, there was significantly less humidity than Ame no Kuni. The scenery was either sophisticated or antique depending on where you looked. There was always a symbiotic relationship with the grass and its citizens which started as a tactical advantage in conducting guerrilla warfare by the first inhabitants. The architecture with the rich plant life of the land had always been an art form and has become even more sophisticated with the times. Though he thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise of Ame no Kuni, it did not diminish the love that he had for his own country. As Inoryu meditated on this, he became more eager to share his village with his friend, Satu, and the rich culture that it possessed.

    "You're gonna love Kusagakure," Inoryu said, completely confident that the vetting at the Embassy will result in his recruitment.

    The light of the morning sun refracted off the light drizzle parting the way between Kusa and Ame. It was a radiant spectacle and Satu took in the sweet air of Kusa and was assured they had returned to the grassy vistas of Inoryu's upbringing. "It really is breathtaking Inoryu," Satu had visions of the marks from the broker and could not believe he overcame such dangerous foes. His powers and abilities would shine as the halos always and with time they would be even brighter. "Thank you, for everything Inoryu," Satu put away his umbrella as the rain had ceased.
