Leaf Village Statues (on top of them)

Leithe sat on top of the statues looking out into the night.
as he sat he looked and wondered
-Is this place really worth protecting?-

He sat wondering for a long time, and then laid back under the stars looking at the moon.

-I guess I'll find out soon enough-

He appears behind the genin ninja not knowing that he can sense him.

"Hmmm.... What are doing here shinobi?"

His voice is in a serious tone, that he never truly ever uses.

Leithe looks up still laying on the ground relaxed as could be.
He then gets up looking at the shinobi.

" One to ask questions quickly without a proper introduction... Same rank as I as well... So..."

Leithe smiles lightly with a non challant tone

"My Name is Leithe Shinozuki...Who might you be, shinobi?"

As he finished those words he sat down again looking out over the city.

He sighs since he realizes that Leithe is just a genin like him.

"Well my name is Litheral Tzuki."

He stands up straight still trying get use to Leithe.

Leithe laughs a little at Litheral being so stiff

"Relax... I come here to think a lot, what about you, you come out here to bother those in thought... Or do you have your own reasons too?"


Leithe hopped up into the tree branch melding ina little bit as he looked farther on into the town just trying to pick out chakra prints from farther distances... itw as hard but he knows he needs to improve.
Just as he thinks this he watches Litherals chakra prints and where they came from... a rather usual route, the one the other travelers take,
So he knew he wasnt following him but he wondered why Litheral came here to begin with.

He looked at Litheral ina friendly manner.

He sits on the ground and grows a smile on his face.

"Well sorry, I'm a stiff to new people especially when I never had met them."

He laughs slightly as he plays with the hair in his face.

"So what does your clan do? It seems that you are trying to find something or someone."

Liethe looks at Litheral with a kind of stare his eyes glowing dark purple still fro the shukiban.
"We are trackers, we hunt with our eyes being able to see a chakra pattern that a person naturally leaves behind, right now I am just trying to see how far I can see a print exactly... trying to improve how far exactly I see them so I can catch them from longer distances and track better."

Leithe looks curiously at Litheral with the shukiban still in effect.

"From what i understand your clan uses fire and earth natures...Opposig natures... how might that be effective in the end?"

Leithe swung off the branch and landed at the base of the tree and sat down relaxing into its crook at the roots, looking at Litheral his shukiban eyes constantly glowing that dark purple.

He notices the shiny purple eyes, as they glared at him.

"Well my clan can control both and very few can actually make the 2 elements into lava or magma, it depends what you like to call it. Well basically we can use lava/magma if we truly train to do so."

His hair shines a red crimson glow form the moon, that is facing behind him. He smirks as he slightly stops playing with his hair. He places his hands on his lap as he gazes into Leithe's eyes.

"So are there any draw back with your eyes?"

Leithe looks around and then back at Litheral.

"Truthfully, no physical drawbacks, The original drawback was that it leached the users chakra but I was taught how to stop that, as are all new generations of our clan, so anymore... no drawbacks... we see on the spiritual spectrum though... or at least I think the others do... unless my eyes are weird... I can see a lot more than prints lately... I can even see people and animals through objects.... very faintly but still there..."

Leithe shakes his head and looks at Litheral

"You said only a few can dual use them correctly... What about you... do you have the -potential- as they say?"

"Well that is a truly great gift you have there Leithe..... Truly I have not found my true potential, the idea of being able to get something that most of my clansmen cant obtain would be quiet entertaining."

He looks as his hands as he starts to play with his thumbs.

"First I need to master fire and earth before thinking of lava/magma control."

Leithe notices the strong flow of chakra in his hands.

"I think you can surpass them easily... After all each new generation has something new to offer to the clan each time one comes along... Right?"

Leithe looks out into the forest picking out different chakra patterns and identifying different animals.

"Yeah, you might be right. But only time will tell if I truly can obtain the gift."

He turns to the other statue and does handsigns. He takes a deep breath and lets his chakra get to the back of his mouth. Once he is happy about the amount. He spits out a dense ball of fire that seems to light the whole area. The sound of animals run away overcome the fire itself.

"Finding more chakra prints should be easier now."

He laughs as the ball dissipates after a few seconds.

Leithe Looks at him slightly dissapointed ans sighs.

"respect for nature my new found friend, overcomes training at all costs... Though I do apreciate the effort"

Leithe gets up and holds his hand out allowing a 3 foot bolt to extend from it, he then looks at the nearest tree and lunges at it ducking low and high kicking a section of it high into the air, throwing three kunai from his left and the bolt simultaniously, the three kunai creating a triangle inthe middle of it and the bolt incinerating the tree. His eyes still glowing all the while.

Leithe Looks down muttering....

"I wish I could've done it so easily earlier...."

"Hey I didn't hurt anyone or anything."

He looks at Leithe in wonder.

"Why did you destroy the tree?"

Leithe looked at him slightly amazed.

"Because that tree in particular has been growing its roots into these statues...You wouldnt want them to collapse on the town down there due to decay from the roots now would you?"

Leithe looked down at the town.

"Though I am alone here I still want to make sure everyone remains safe...Because... maybe someone, is there for us...Who Knows..."

Leithe looked at Litheral while looking through his bag and pulls out some fish.

"I got this earlier, you want to help me cook it up?"

"That makes sense. Yeah fish sounds like a nice meal right now."

He smiles as he gazes at the fish.

"You got the wood? I got the fire."

Leithe chuckles and looks around him and notices a tree and walks up to it.

"No chakra flow at all... I'd say this one is safe to bring down...."

He tenses up and heaves two mightly slashse at teh base of the dead tree and watches it crumble down into a nice burnable pile.

"Wow...That was deader than I thought it already was... Well... Theres your firewood.. hopefully it doesnt burn out too quickly..."

He hears the wood break and a chuckle break into sound.

"Wow! Yeah lets hope it wont."

He walks up to Leithe and grabs the 2 pieces of wood. He walks to a dirt area and does handsigns, he lets out a small ball of fire big enough to catch the logs on fire.

Leithe feeds the fire patiently while preparing the fish on some aged sticks.

"This should work out fine.... i still cant beleive how dead that tree was... it didnt even have a chakra pattern..."


He puts the fish over the fire and lets it cook slowly watching the scales for that perfect color they get when they are done.

"Yeah, I thought it would keep up some kind of fight. But I guess appearances aren't always true."

He looks at the fish with hungry thoughts growing.

"True enough friend"

Leithe pulled the first set of fish out and gave them to Litheral, letting his set darken just a little more, and then pulls his out.
He grins widely and looks at Litheral.

"Meal time..."

"It seems you knew i like my food still kicking."

He laughs as he takes a bite and blood slightly falls from his mouth.

"Sorry, about the mess to come."

Leithe already digging in nods at Litheral and tears at the fish consuming both Flesh and bone until he is done and wets the sticks down bare and belches laying backa little.

"that had to be the best of those fish... Though how I came across them... was rather... unfortunate..."

He says this witha little sheepishness in his voice chuckling uneasily.

He sees Leithe consume the fish with much vigor and decides to do the same. He tears the meat off the bones, but doesn't go for the bones like he did. He lets out a some what belch that seemed to come from both ends.

"Wow your gonna hate me soon."

He laughs at the misfortune that may become to him.

Leithe laughs heartily.

"I doubt that I will because I understand the feeling! Ha Ha!"

Leithe gets up and looks at Litheral with his eyes still glowing,
He closes his eyes and opens them not glowing anymore but showing his deep green eyee.

"I figured you should know the undistorted face of a friend before he left, I must be home soon, Grandfather wishes to see me, and I have probably overextended my stay here, however I will see you again no doubt."

Leithe walks to the edge of the statues face and looks back at Litheral

"Goodbye for now!"

Leithe then jumps over the edge and bounces back and forth along the side of the mountain till he reaches the base where he propells himself towards the Shinozuki Main Residence, leap by leap.
