Progress; Sector Seven Enter

Moving through Mizu no Kuni swiftly...they prepared to reach the shores. Though they had changed their guise to regular ANBU apparel they still needed to be cautious, especially carrying what appeared to be an injured teammate. Surely it woudn't be much longer until they arrived at the docks.

[--Arata]

Finding himself at the shore he would begin to notice that the sector seven had begun to board a vessel. With nothing, but bad news on his mind he would begin to prepare his words for them. Hoping to find Hinagiku he would be the bearer of bad news and would be the one to tell her. He felt compelled to do so as it was his king and more so her lover. Stepping forth he would speak....

"Hinagiku...There's something you must know," he would begin as he stopped awaiting her answer. This was the only way he would have to continue, but he would begin cutting her short from finishing her statement," My lady...the Kin....Kouketsu has fallen in battle." His head would drop at the news as his crimson gaze was still strong, but was followed by tears as well.

Standing there with his hands clenched tightly in a ball of strength and oppression that would come over his body. Perhaps, if he was stronger he could have helped out. Listening for her words and more importantly the words of Sector Seven. This was their king after all and his as well. They all shared a bond with the one that had fallen known as Kouketsu.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

They were pleasantly surprised to see Shin but it was better him than an enemy. At the moment it would be hard to distinguish Hinagiku physically but the boy did well to be confident in knowing she was there. Upon calling for her, Hinagiku would remove the ANBU Mask she had on, revealing her face if for a moment. She wanted to say something to him but he had cut her off by announcing Kouketsu's fate. It shouldn't have come as a surprise, somehow she felt this would happen and yet...

Tears, they trickled at first...but soon they continued to flow down. Her lack of words was a tell-tale sign of how hard she took it, her sniffles and sobbing filling the air. Tensoku and Matsuda tilted their heads in sadness as well. Leaving a moment of silence for their fallen leader though it was hard to determine if even they had shed tears due to the masks they kept on. Once the griefing had passed, Hinagiku withdrew a scroll and handed it to Scroll.

"My shinning knight Shin-san, I must bestow upon you the honour of your Queen. First, I thank you for comming all this way to deliver this well needed news. Even now my eyes wish to shed more tears for my love but for this brief moment I shall remain strong."

She proceeded to take a deep breath, her voice soft...cracking from the tears threatening to well up inside her.

"This scroll contains the truth about this whole situation and instructions for the members of Kirigakure. Lastly I have some gifts for you to return as well."

Going through her items one by one she'd rest them to the ground below, stripping herself of everything except the safe which contained the inheritence that Kouketsu and herself wished to provide for their children. Lastly, she had one more gift for the young Uchiha, whom would become the Clan's pride within this country;

The Kirigakure forehead protector

It was hers and so the honour she bestowed upon him was indeed great.

"Proof that I too have fallen, thus you should wear it upon your crown. As of now, you're an honourary ninja of Kirigakure and so you're mission is to report back to the people. Organize them and prepare them for the times to come. There can be no seperation, no differentiation between Uchiha and Non Uchiha. There is only Mist."

With that the mask would be placed on once more. He had his instructions and now the headband needed to prove his allegiance. As for Sector Seven, they would thus depart into the twilight.

[--Arata]

Her words were strong and even the words of Kouketsu's wife were strong and assuring just like his were that day they met. Listening carefully Shin would begin to listen as she would begin to lay about the things needed. It would seem he would be the one left to straighten up the ordeal between Uchiha and Non Uchiha alike. As she said before she was going to be the one that would let the world know that she had fallen as well. She would hand him the scroll with all evidence needed. Tucking it within his pouch he would bow to her in the most respectful moment. Noticing the headband being placed on the dock in front of him, his eyes would widen.

Walking over to it he would pick it up and wrap it around his head. This was the beginning and the end of a relationship that would be handled for the time being. Watching them leave he would look up towards the sky as he would catch a glimpse of what would be Kouketsu looking down upon him and his followers. Shin would let a smile reach his face and would remember the words of the King as always. Turning away as he would grab everything he would say one more thing before returning to the others.

"Hinagiku...be careful. If you ever need me as the watcher of Kouketsu's wife and children. Send me notice and I will be there to protect my kin. Mist will be formed the way you and him had envisioned it," he cooed as he would make his way back towards the Village. Now adorning the Kirigakure head band. He was now one of the fellow Village known as Mist.

Hinagiku turned back, her masked face simply nodding as what strength she had was caving out due to her emotions and her medical condition. Thus they proceeded to their ship having cleared their names and the like previously. Travel to River would be a different beast all together. It was a long journey through the ocean and for awhile there was nothing but the thick mist which surrounded the island's perimeter. Once they cleared through that, all thanks to the skill of the Boatman; they could see smaller islands around them. It was too dark to really grasp any beauty they had, especially coupled with the distance unfortunately.

The only thing on Hina's mind was what remained of her family. Her two cherished men were taken away from her but she would see them both soon. The only thing left for her now was to prepare herself to train her daughter and to tell her stories about her father so that she too would love him. Thoughts like this aided in traversing the waters, not even seagulls were present for the duration but upon the hours passing, dawn was approaching and so the borderline of River country would soon make itself present.

Once the boat arrived, they'd dock and once more proceed to their final destination.

|Move to River|

[joshcrisp]

Ok Shin, you have the items, so update j00r bio.

Moved to River.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Within the River country, the trio would temporarily remove the map from the safe. With the map in hand they'd follow it in order to lead them to Moyoushi City. It was time they completed their sins by giving back to the city after a ninja came and corrupted everything. A new age would thus Dawn upon the city, one that was propserous and secure. The perfect place to raise the children of tommorow.

|Move to Moyoushi City|

[Zetsumei]

Moved

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Now the task that would begin the Uchiha legacy begins, they stood just on the outskirts of the steep uphill path. The entrance was just up ahead, thus Sector Seven would make way, to the start of a new frontier.
