To where the grass grows(travel)

Patiently sitting upon an wooden crate, the Hachidaime Yukikage awaited for the ship to arrive. His light blue eyes gazed upon his person to gaze upon the 3 card holsters that were strapped upon various areas of his vessel. 2 of the 3 contained 4 decks of cards each while the last only contained 1 deck. One of his white gloved hands slithered into his buttbag which his gloved fingertips brushed upon the 80 ice exploding tags lingering within. A loud whistle announced the arrival of the ship which the card enchanter boarding upon it.

A few seconds later the boat began to drift to the mainland across the icy waters. Ace remained silently as his light blue eyes gazed onward as his light blond hair waved in the arctic breeze as snow gently fell upon his flesh. Patiently the red leg master gazed onward as his mind pondered of the meeting yet to come. He knew Grass and Snow harldy interacted wtih each other thus there were many uncertanties of how the meeting would actually go. Although despite the uncertanties and the high level of danger, Ace felt this was the correct step towards unifying this violence filled world. Mentally preparing his speeches and such, the Hachidaime Yukikage right gloved fingertips gently tapped upon the metal railing of the ship.

Silently the ship continued to sail onward as the temperature began to slowly rise as they got further away from the arctic land of Yuki no Kuni. Ace continued to patiently wait for the ship to reach the port of the land of thunder.

The ship ride was uneventful as the waves gently carried the ship to the mainland. Once they reached the port of the Land of Thunder, the Hachidaime Yukikage thanked the ship captain before walking upon the forign soil. His ceremonial kage cloak gently waved in the breeze as the sound of distant thunder crackled. His icy light blue eyes glanced around taking small mental notes on the vibrant green from the plants compaired to the dull color variation from his arctic home. Letting out an slight yawn, the card enchanter stretched out his back before hearing an nice like crack. Showing an slight face of discomfort the old relic rubbed his lower back before heading onward. His mind constantly pondered of what to say to the grass kage as he was not aware of how Snow intearcted with them due to his homelands very secluded attitude toward mainlanders. After-all Ace was still surprised that he was able to get his village to become allied with Waterfall due to his village's personal biases and such.

The red leg master continued to ponder of how the meeting would even go as he gently tapped his rusticly bearded chin. Although a few moments late the kage gently facepalmed himself as he realized he left his compass back at the house. Knowing what to do next he ventured to the nearest shop to buy an compass and map.

Realizing that he put away all of his ryo into the village vault, the snow leader gently face-palmed himself. He was sure that he had a some ryo on person yet that was not the case. "well that is unfortunate" the Hachidaime Yukikage thought as he ventured onward through the land of thunder. The thunder roared silently as it began to rain slightly as the red leg master ventured to his desired destination. He needed to have an conversation with the new grass kage as they could prove to be reliable allies. Also he was curious to get an feel of their scenery as Yukigakure was seriously lacking on information regarding that nation. Ace thought of his precious daughter and son hoping that he was closer to unifying the ninja world. Although it was still an difficult task yet he desired an world without war or chaos for the next generation.

Checking over to make sure he still had his 3 card holsters which 2 of the 3 contained 4 deck of cards. The last holster only contained 1 deck of cards. He briefly looked into his buttbag his gloved fingertips brushing against the 80 ice exploding tags lingering within. After checking to make sure all items were accounted for he continued upon his path. The rain continued to fall down upon the old relic as his footsteps echoed slightly as the thunder roared throughout the land.

Continuing his long voyage onward the Haichidiame Yukikage wore an solemn expression upon his face as the soft yet cold wind brushed agains this flesh. His mind continued to only ponder and fear for the safety of his children's smiles. Cautious about his own son's safety as the child became an recluse to his own puppetry inventions, the boy drifted away from Gunnr and his father. Wondering of his own faults throughout the years, the old relic rubbed his temple for a few moments before letting out an annoyed sigh to escape his lips. Glancing around for a few moments, he walked over to the nearest rock before sitting upon it. Scrounging through is buttbag, Ace pulled out an slap of salted meat and an small cabbage. He took a few slow yet meaningful bites as the master of cards thought of what his speech would consist of once he had his meeting with the new kusakage. Thinking of how exactly to illustrate his words he took a few munchs of the fresh and crisp cabbage, his right gloved hand gently tapped upon the rock. He glanced upward as the stars above twinkled only for his face to be overwelmed with awe and inspiration.

Above his vessel in the winter sky shimmered an brilliant light filled ocean. His light blue eyes caught every twinkling wave as it lingered above in holy grace. Gently clossing his eyes the aged relic chuckled as an small smirk crossed his lips. "an distant promise from long ago" he thought before standing up. "one day all children will be united in harmony for all to gaze upon the wonders this world provides" his thoughts continued as his mind thought back on the happy days which he and his old friend Reddo shared. "were friends wont be divided by power or conflicts between others" he thought as he ventured onward as the wind gently tugged against his ceremonial haichidaime kage robe. "an age where all children can laugh that is the dream I venture onward to achieve" he thought as the stars above twinkled in harmony.

Heading to the coast, Ace boarded onto an ship which was headed to the Land of Waterfalls. Slowly the ship left near the Bay of Sangha port as the shimmering lights continued to twinkle in the star filled night.

Enjoying the ship ride, the Hachidiame Yukikage was deep in slumber as his thoughts were distant. Although during the dream he continued to get glimps of past moments between Onyx and himself. They were good times of spending time together even the times when his wife was angry. All of his her nonesense of people being cowards were missed as it kept the Chivalrous Gambler's evenings interesting. He felt that her tenacity was something rare and precious. Slowly his eyes oppened as he took a few moments to get an feelings of his surroundings. Ace let out an nice yawn as his ears noticed the smooth sounds of distant waterfalls.

Glancing up at the heavens, the card enchanter smiled happy to be in familier terran. So incase things got troublesome, he was confidant in receiving assistance from Takigakure. Once the ship boarded the dock, the old relic ventured forward heading towars the land of grass. An confidant smirk dispalyed upon the red leg master's lips knowing that this was momentous for Yukigakure if an positive first impression could be delivered to their kage. He continued his relaxed strides as his mind mentally went over his prepaired speech. Although a few moments he halted his progression to gaze upon his naked left hand. "we could have shared many moments yet those chances were robbed from us dear Rosalie" Ace thought as regarding his intel the past Takikage was still missing. Letting out an sigh the old relic continued his path as his mind only thought about the future and the peace that would arrive for all.

After an long while of walking across borders and such Ace could see the capitalup ahead. His heart swelled with anticipation as his dream of an world at peace was getting closer to an reality. Checking over his stuff and mentally checking over his speech he began to rapidly venture forward with an confidant smirk upon his lips.

returning from the meeting with the kusakage, Ace headed to the nearest port which rested near the land of waterfall. He boarded the ship before the vessel left. Calmly the Hachidaime Yukikage pondered of the merit of becoming an stronger ally for Kusagakure and the risk the relationship could bring to Takigakure. He let out an small sigh hoping that his plan to secure Takigakure's borders was the wise choice. Afterall, the old relic was confident that his faithfull ally would be an great assist at fighting against Konoha when the time came up. He pondered of the scenerio where he would be forced to defend against them.

He slightly glanced up at the sky seeing the face of the man he laothed so much in the clouds. "I cannot see Konoha as nothing but an blight until weeds like you are vanquished" he bitterly thought as the ship silently sailed against the calm waters fallowing the river that drifted into land of waterfall.
