We Outchea [Travel]

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

TEvin Murtaugh emerged from the gates, leaving behind his home Takigakure. He wore an indigo military jacket reaching his abdomen, dark grey pants with a black belt securing them to his waist, and on his feet black shinobi sandals. Underneath his jacket, he wore a black tank-top. On his right hip, a buttbag settled attached to his belt. Inside the bag he had multiple ninja tools organized in order; 4 kunai, 10 hira shuriken, 2 grenade smoke, 2 grenade incendiary, 50 exploding tags. His longsword rested safe in its sheath hanging by his left hip, secured to his belt. His jet black hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, and his face framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin almost hiding the X shaped scar on his left cheek.

A box filled with 10 joints and 10 blunts gently rolled from different strains of marijuana rested safe in his jacket's pocket close to his heart. He had his jacket unbuttoned revealing a thin, 24 inches long silver curb chain worn on his neck with a metalplate engraved with his village's symbol hanging close to his heart just a few inches above his sternum. Inside his pants' left pocket his world map sat gently folded and on his left one his compass rested, awaiting to be used when needed. He leaned against a tree with the lighter he had just recently bought in his hand, pulled out one joint from his container and bombed his first smoke of the day while he waited for his companion.

The Kamyuja looked up to the sky, eyes filled with nothing but excitement. He felt glad to see the sky clear as that meant no rain would disrupt their travels. He enjoyed his joint, playing around with the smoke and making various shapes. He felt like his life had been lacking some action, and hoped that the journey they were to set off on, once the other guy arrived, would offer him just that. The gently breeze felt nice rubbing against his face.

[Dravocn]

Dravocn was an orphan, as such he didn't exactly have many different clothes, he wore a newly cleaned suit and tie, but it was essentially the same outfit as his meeting with his new companion. The end of summer surrounded them as the crisp air and orange glow of the sky filled the boy's eyes as he took his strides onward.

The child had many plans, ambitious although they may be, there were surely ninjas and civilians alike that have achieved the capacity of legendary already. The monsters of his village surely weren't the only ones capable of achieving feats of renown. The boy shook his head again, there was a lot of work to do if he was to even suggest achieving such goals. His medical skills peaked, but that was all, he would need many more masteries in order to make his name.

He looked forward, clutching his katana and wakizashi, both resting on his left side. Neither of them had been used since his grandfather, but they have been well maintained since he had taken them from his cindered old home. He looked up to see the large man enjoying his MJ, the boy had nothing to say about it, he would simply ignore it. The scent would permeate the area and give away their positions should they reach hostile territory, not to mention it would kill any other scent if they were looking for specific areas. This addiction would prove to be a problem, that much is clear.

The boy stood a good fifteen feet away from the man, but acknowledged him, bowing. He kept his smile regardless of his mood, it was simply something he kept on his face in order to hide true feelings. Certainly, it would be something that would unintentionally antagonize captors or others of that particular sort of enemy, but it would eventually become normality and would successfully immerse its apathetic visage into a mask all its own.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

His partner arrived a few minutes after him. TEvin was caught up in one of his crazy thoughts that he didn't see the boy come out through the gates, he only noticed him when he stopped a few meters from him. To TEvy it seemed as if Dravocn appeared out of nowhere, that and the THC in his system had him startled for a brief moment. Usually when he smoked, he to share his weed, but seeing the boy keep his distance, TEvy guessed he wasn't that much of a marijuana fan but still he had to ask. "Yo Dravocn, want a hit?" he asked gesturing the half-smoked joint at the boy. Should the boy accept the reefer he'd walk towards him and pass it, should he decline TEvy would stay leaning against the tree to finish his smoke.

After finishing of his joint and throwing the remainder away, he moved closer to Dravocn to have a little discussion. "So we're heading to the land of sound," he said pulling out the map from his pocket, unfolding it and scanning for the nation set to be their destination. "According to the map we are supposed to head far east and pass the unknown land neighbouring our country until we reach our destination." he said tapping Oto no kuni on the map. His free hand went into his other pocket, taking out his compass. "East, east, east... That way." His body moved to face the direction which his compass told him be east. He turned with a smirk on his face to ask the boy a question "Are you ready?"

He folded his map and placed it back in his pocket, along with his compass. He sighed before walking east and beginning his journey. He looked over at Dravocn, assuming he followed and was walking besides him, "What is it that you say you plan to train in Sound? I can't decide what I should train next. I wanna learn 3 sword style and also at the same time wanna try out some ninjutsu. I already know 1 sword style so learning ninjutsu would be a smart choice, but what type of release, wind, lightning? Hmmm..." He kept his pace slow and steady as he felt no need to rush since it was still early.

[Dravocn]

The large man seemed distinctively chattery and on edge, either it was the type of MJ he was smoking, or he was just generally uncomfortable. The boy shook his head at the offer of smoking, keeping a bit of a distance, he wasn't sure what it would take to get the scent out of his clothes, they were dry clean only and that proved to be a bit of a problem. "No thank you, I'd rather keep my senses clear. Nose blindness is difficult to fix." he said calmly, but his smile didn't leave his face.

He nods in response to their destination, already beginning to move East before the compass would make its decision. The large man seemed rather talkative at the moment, perhaps a bit pensive, or simply anxiously excited. This was understandable and only served to create a firmer profile in the mental dossier the young boy has on the large man. "Another bit of medical training." he answered in response to the first question, though apparently, the large man hadn't cared since he continued talking himself into another question he wished to ask the young boy. "My suggestion when it comes to blades is both, wind is a cutting, pushing, and pulling chakra. When engrained into chakra blades, it adds to the cutting power. However lightning is detrimental to the opponent, paralysis, heart failure, stunning. Go with what you believe is best suited to your style of combat." he said calmly, continuing to walk toward their collective destination.

He half wanted to start training right there, perhaps a bit of enchantment training to at least build trust on the boons he'd be giving his ally. He decided against it for now, but he kept the thought in mind to try and get some training done while the man slept... he needed a target for this sort of thing after all.

[Hamura]

Moved.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

Under the influence of weed, the sky, plants and all of his surrounding looked more beautiful than it usually did through sober eyes. The sweet melodies birds made as they moved about the sky pleased his ears and made him feel more relaxed as he proceeded with his journey. He nodded a the boy's reply to do medical training. TEvy wondered for a minute if he too could train medical ninjutsu but the thought of it just sounded nuts. The thought of being able to heal his own wounds sounded really cool but he didn't believe he needed medical skills at the moment, at least not until he mastered a few elements. He was impressed by the boy's suggestion and reached a decision. "Know what, I think I will train both wind and lightning. I'm sure they're not that tough to learn." he spoke out in a low raspy voice due to the weed fucking up his throat.

Being high made him unable to keep track of time, unless he checked his watch which he had forgotten to bring along, but he was certain they had been walking for long when a number of hills and mountains came to view. "I think we're here." the excitement could be heard through his voice. "Where do we go from here?" he asked, going into deep thinking.

[Dravocn]

Dravocn continued maintaining a reasonable distance away from his doped up companion, namely for the stench that permeates the fabric of his clothes and honestly at this point his pheromones as well. He wasn't going to be rude, however, and he tried to continue a friendly demeanor despite the distance between them. While the boy's plans were to do medical training in this country, he also had plenty of expectations on doing some genjutsu training, he simply hasn't found the time to do so yet. Perhaps some conventional skill training would be in order in the meantime.

The large man's statement in response to do both of the elemental training seemed to be a mere flick of the tongue rather than actual resolve to do anything, likely a result of the relaxants ingrained into the herb and possible chemical combination in the particular making of his current blunt. The boy had no response, he would let him say and think whatever he wished until he was consciously aware of his own thought processes again, in hopes of nothing insensitive coming out of his companion's mouth.

Of course, upon seeing the beautiful rice farms and the very easily defined roads between each patch of water that housed dozens of rice plants for some reason Dravocn felt an almost relentless feeling of euphoria from the beauty of the fields. He smiled brightly, oh they were here alright. Dravocn closed his eyes and stopped in place, opening his arms wide, taking in a deep breath of the landscape surrounding them. This, this was going to be fun, he could feel it.

He looked to his large muscular companion "My suggestion, we find the master I'm supposed to train under, and get my training underway. After we achieve my purpose of being here, we may move on whenever and to wherever you like." he promised, his eyes almost sparkling from the excitement. It was very apparent to him that he would need to start training his hands in their deftness and quickness if he was ever going to use his future abilities properly, perhaps a bit of stealth as well.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

The effects of his previous joint were beginning to wear off, and as such the Kamyuja felt it right to bomb his second smoke of the day. Earlier on he had smoked gorilla glue rolled inside raw rolling paper reducing the number of joints in his box to nine. He stopped walking, reached for the box carrying his smokes and pulled out one blunt, evening the number of joints and blunts remaining in his box. TEvy's blood rushed in excitement as he held the blunt in his hand between his mid & index fingers. He felt pleased with himself knowing the purple haze wrapped inside the blunt he was about to smoke was his very own home grown weed. He lifted the blunt closer to his nose and sniffed it, as if it gave off the best aroma in the world, before placing it between his lips.

Using his lighter, TEvy lit the blunt and puffed the sweet smoke. He turned to look over towards his partner, "Does he have a name this master of yours? And where will we find him?" he asked before exhaling a thick cloud of smoke from his mouth. Seeing the dozen of rice fields before him, he wondered if there were any weed farms he could visit to buy some, or to even learn more on the plant and its cultivation. With THC from earlier on still in his system, it only took three puffs before TEvy was chilling top floor. He carried on inhaling and exhaling smoke until the blunt was no more. His stomach made a low rumbling noise as all the weed smoking had drained his stomach and left him hungry.

TEvin felt stupid after realising he had forgotten to pack some snacks to fight off the munchies while on their journey. "You wouldn't happen to have some snack on you, would ya?" he asked the boy with little believe that the boy would have what he asked for. Even with no snacks to feed his slowly brewing hunger, his mind felt at ease and his heart at peace. Otogakure was located in the very land he was standing upon, he hoped to discover its location and visit it before leaving the Land of Sound.

[Dravocn]

For a split second, the boy twitched as he heard a lighter flick. His companion planned on riding his high until he runs out, apparently. The boy said nothing, however, but he was beginning to worry about the man's weakness getting them in trouble. They don't know the laws or the culture here, and there may be issues that they have yet to learn about.

Upon hearing the question about the master of the particular art the boy was trying to learn, he shook his head "I was never told their name, either way, they're either in their own dojo in which we will have to find, or they're in one of the hospitals." he said calmly "If they're particularly cliche, they might be hermits in a shack away from society here. Regardless, we'll be here until my training is completed." he said calmly.

The boy took a deep breath and rolled his neck, shaking his head once again at the mention of snacks. "I'm sure you have money to buy your own food, I have no snacks or food on my person, no." he said, a small tingling sensation in the back of his mind wanted to play with someone a bit, but he had a goal to accomplish here, there was no time to meddle with the lives of those living here, the experiments would have to wait.

He continued moving onward, into the lands looking for civilization.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

The Sativa present in the Kamyuja's bloodstream chased away all his problems, putting him in a euphoric state. Hot bars, as he calls them, flooded his mind as the creative part of his brain was stimulated to work to its fullest potential. An idea of a song swirled around inside his head, he even envisioned himself on stage, in front on hundreds of people, performing the song. For the past few weeks he has be slacking off on writing raps as he had his focus fully on getting stronger, but sworn to return back to his writing habits on the trip as new places were believed to be a good source of inspiration. He was merely fantasising when his companion's words brought him back to reality.

They didn't have a name nor specific location of the person they were looking for, all they knew was that they were somewhere in this country. "Wherever they are I'm sure we'll fine them." he said, positively. Of course, he did have money to buy whatever he wished but there weren't any shops at their current location. He stood still, staring high at the sky, enjoying its beauty for a minute. TEvy figured that his companion likes to distance himself, possibly due to the Maryjane scent his body gave off, he let the boy take the lead and followed a few meters behind.

[Dravocn]

After a few feet inward of the new land, Dravocn felt it appropriate to remind his comrade "Remember, we are here to train and study. We are not to make trouble or make enemies. This is a new place and I'd rather not come back to the kage telling him that we've made enemies by accident." he said calmly. This wasn't a threat or a warning of fear of the takikage, there was nothing about the kage that frightened the boy, it was simply out of preference. Besides, he was sure that whatever caused bad luck around the kage would only be made more fatal if the kage were made upset in any way.

The boy decided to ask directions to the hospital, it was the first place he could think to find someone with such a distinct knowledge of one's anatomy. And should that fail, Dravocn could easily use his mastery over medicine to at least attract attention in order to attempt to bring his soon to be master out of hiding. "The sin of pride is best used to attract the attention of a target, but it must be controlled, otherwise the target will watch you burn in your own vanity, and then you shall befall into depravity." he said to himself with a sigh, while his words were a tad abstract, he at least understood what he was reminding himself.

He shook his head and closed his eyes with a squeeze, then opened them and continued onward toward a hospital.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

TEvy's hands tucked inside his pockets as he continued walking with a lofty proud gait. His face went blank, confused as to why Dravocn would feel the need to remind him to be on his best behaviour. Being the older shinobi, he felt like it should be him reminding the boy to stay out of trouble. In contrast to Dravocn's wishes, TEvy longed for trouble. It had been long since he drew his blade to spilled blood, he felt that he needed to test out his skills to see how far his training has gotten him, and the only way to test them out is to find trouble.

The Kamyuja kept quiet as he walked, observing and taking notes of his surrounding. Their journey had been without any trouble so far, he hoped that it would change and turn into an interesting adventure, if not he'll just have to make things interesting himself. He heard his companion mumble something but paid him no attention after realising he was talking to himself.

[Dravocn]

His companion seemed to hear him, though whether he had listened, understood, or even cared had yet to be believed. Their village was full of monsters, monsters being the key term as anyone of good intentions would be renowned as heroes, miracles, blessings, those of great stature to be praised rather than feared. If the boy's understanding of his village spread across to his current traveling comrade, then he was going to end up having more trouble than he cared to believe.

"Wrath is often subjugated by the agents of Lust and Envy, the blood that drips from Lust's fingertips satiates the fearful and Greed. Their armies were built upon the necessity and deep carnal instincts of Gluttony. If Wrath is left uncontrolled then death shall simply befall those who thought they could use it." he said calmly, his eyes forward and continuing to move. "Lust is their unjust mistress of Wrath who prides herself in how easily she can use their child to spill blood upon the land. My suggestion is to keep oneself in check, do not disdain these otherworldly beings, but use them properly and to your own benefit. The long game is far more beneficial than the short route to satisfaction." he said calmly again, rolling his neck.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

Having been roaming around the Land Of Sound for a while, TEvy let out a yawn tired from all the walking. He hadn't thought about where they would spend the night while they were here, but after his body sent out a message that it needed to rest he tried to think of a place they could to rest. Knowing that he needs to smoke all the time, and understanding that misinformed or just ignorant people despised the very herb that could heal all the nations and bring peace to the world. The Kamyuja believed if everyone stopped whatever they were doing and smoked a joint the world would be a better place, at least for an hour or so. His steps led him towards the inner parts of the country where he spotted an interesting building and decided to check it out.

Move to Meikyoku

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

Exit.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

Enter

The man with a steaming, stolen plate of chicken and snacks tucked under his underarm walked away from the small town he had wondered off to, and returned to the last position he remembered being with his companion. "Dravocn, where you at?" he called out, his sexy brown eyes searched the place in hopes to find his companion. He had no idea how he got separated from the boy, he only discovered Dravocn wasn't around while inside the building he had been in minutes ago. He stood still eating the chicken, and at the same time trying to think of places his companion could've ran off to. "Gawwwdammn! These people sure know how to roast good chicken." he said to himself, stuffing his face with the juicy meat.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

There didn't seem to be any footprints or trail TEvy could follow to find his companion, and looking around, there were many different directions Dravocn could have taken. A walkie talkie would be useful in times like this but unfortunately the Kamyuja didn't own any. He chewed down the rest of his chicken until there was nothing left, and threw away the plate. A loud burp emitted from his mouth, signalling that his stomach was full. With his body fuelled, he felt his energy and the excitement of adventuring return back to him. TEvin stuffed the two Lays chips on either sides his jacket's pockets, and then leaned against a tree with his hand on his chin as he engaged himself in deep thoughts, planning out his next move.

After a moment of brainstorming, he made a decision to move on without his companion. They had arrived in the Land of Sound safely, and he was certain Dravocn could take of himself, for all he knows the guy could have found the master he was looking for and be busy learning some shit at this very moment. With that mindset he carried on with his journey.

Exit.
