Travel The Whirlpool

[Satu Akira]

“The Year of the Bull!”

Alone Niatsu stood, his posture erect and his facial expression plain, with his map out and his objective set, he believed he had nothing to lose and all to gain. With a quick motion of his arm and a reach in his pouch deep, the former ninja of sound bent rested upon a single knee. With the map open his eyes scanned, the Uzu no Kuni said to be the hiding place of his old man. “An hour by boat” he thought out loud under his breath, placing the scroll within his pouch before standing to give Jashin his prayers and final breath. Still in his country, his senses alert, Niatsu made his way east.

Taking an hours’ walk is all it took to find the boatyard and a particular ship. “El Marian” he said under his breath, stepping onto the ship set to sail the next day. So this is a the famous ship said to survive the current of a whirlpool he thought to himself making his way to the piloting area. Locating a map with directions to make his way, the already anxious Niatsu set off despite hearing screams of pleading him to stop from stealing the ship continued until no longer being heard a mile away. Stiring the ship through the maze, Niatsu successfully navigated the ocean within that very same day. Having taken four hours, three hours more than assumed, Niatsu already a bit frustrated set off to find out information as soon as he’d located a shore suitable to land upon.

“A jungle…” he said to himself taking a step along the sandy shore before progressing slowly into the wilderness to see if he could locate a town or a hint for what he was looking.

“My first encounter”

Niatsu’s muscles tensed and the distinct smell of meat not too far away, he pace lessened, his eyes widened, and his fist slowly grew tight. Continuing his advance forward he’d realize he was in a camp of some sort but before that thought could be explored further a voice would call towards him “Are you lost?” Almost instinctively Niatsu paused as if he were a deer caught in the headlights, he’d been seen before seeing this person. I lost focus… Niatsu said chastising himself internally. With the cloak still covering his head, Niatsu would slowly lower it, revealing his face of distain. The expression that sent many villagers into a fearful frenzy or fellow shinobi into introspective quest into their inadequacies had turned its’ attention towards the fellow who questioned him.

“Where is the nearest village?” asked Niatsu calmly in such a way as to not to seem direct, but definitely not weak.

”Centralization…”

Niatsu would not respond to the question of whether he wanted a guide initially for he’d noticed the person had already begun to head north, hinting to Niatsu to follow. Staring calmly, Niatsu noticed the alert guide before him, noticing that the guide wouldn’t look away for even a moment. With a five meter gap between the two, Niatsu wouldn’t dare change his expression for he could tell the guide was looking for a change, looking for something to analyze. “So why have you come here?” asked man whose eyes gleamed of pure red but like the man before him, Niatsu was also looking for information as well. I can sense an aura…Is it possible to be so morally neutral? he asked himself as he’d simply reply “Business…” he’d reply in the most concise statement imaginable.[/font]
