The gates of Konoha

[Shinku no Yami]

*As the morning draws in and the sun shines more brightly over the horizon, Sekiryou makes his way to the front gate of Konoha after a night of traveling through the valley, a hood over his head to hide his eyes from the red glow they would cast in the sun.*



"This place... it looks like it's seen better days. No guards even stopped me on my way in. It almost reminds me of the period after Orochimaru killed the Sandaime..."

[lora wolf]

Lora -in the middle of the town on the build kokage founten sitting on the marble reading a book about the sand village and its history and while reading she writes notes about alot of things that happen in the past till now

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Shinaro- with his cloak on walking toward the village from a mile or so away * I should be carefull with my new found eyes around here * he puts his cloak over his head and hides the details of his face as he finally comes into view of the village * who was that man in the sky. He had a differnt chakra signature then the other man did and I need to find out who this other stranger is he seems to have alot to teach me..

[Blade]

*a man in dark robes with a hood pulled over his head as if he had been walking through the desert begins to walk into the village his headband concealed and him looking like a mere traveler possibly a saleman*

[Shinku no Yami]

*Stops in his tracks, looking around and seeing none but a few people going about their own business.* "Just how few people are even in this village now?" *Closes his eyes, opening them to reveal another pair of eyes.*



"Hmmm, there aren't many. What could have happened?" *Using the Byakugan half of his eyes, Sekiryou is able to see and recognize the chakra signature of Shinaro.* "Wow, he's back already, and it looks like he's taken the Byakugan after all. I wonder what Maneru will have to say about this." *Focuses at other individuals in the village, both near and far.* "There's a girl... she seems to have an affinity for Wind from her chakra signature. Of course. Her headband is Leaf. And that man... he's more powerful than his attire lets on. Hmm, something's going on."

[lora wolf]

-she looks up feeling there is something going on and she looks around slowly then she looks at the diraction that he was looking at her- hm...-then looks back down at her book then closes it and gets a justic book out-

[Blade]

*he is able to sense the chakra of sekiryou and mutters to himself* its the man he told me about I recognize the chakra

[Shinku no Yami]

"Hm, I have to get to the bottom of this. Maybe she'll know." *Walks over to the girl, keeping an eye on the other two, more so the mysterious one, as he approaches.* "Excuse me, Konoha kunoichi. Could you tell me where your Hokage is? I have to speak with them. It's urgent."

[Blade]

*he is watching the man carefully as he nears lora and he begins to walk their way*

[lora wolf]

-looks up and smiles alit- hello, well he sould be in his office but hes been out of town since i dont know when (its haden(sp)....-shurgs-)

[Shinku no Yami]

*Frowns.* "I see." *Does not look back, not needing to to see the approaching potential threat behind.* "That's unfortunate. I came all this way for sore feet I guess. What happened here? It looks like a lot of the people here been exterminated, or just up and left."

[Uzumaki Naruto]

* shinaro walks into the village with his eyes closed but then he opens them lookingforwards with his byakuugan EYES* he is here * he then looks around and jumps up on to the village gatEs*

[lora wolf]

well after the attack about some odd years ago ppl didnt feel safe anymore -she sighs- its a loss really there was alot of ppl in the town -looking at him studying him like he is a book-

[Blade]

*he begins to slow down not sensing a threat to lora but continues towards them*

[Shinku no Yami]

*Performs a single hand seal under his cloak, muttering breathlessly (to make no sound).* "Doton: Akigara..."

"Yes I see. I haven't seen it this bad since Oro-... I mean since a while ago." 'They're both coming this way.' *Looks back and notices her studying him, holding back a smile/smirk.* "I see what you're doing, but there's only so much you can see with your eyes. Some eyes..." *Pauses, distracted by the oncoming presence of the others.* "... can see further." *Bears a cautious look on his face, as if expecting something.*

[Blade]

*he is now close but he stops and leans on a bulding seemingly waiting and watching*

[lora wolf]

-has a shocked look on her face then it turns into a smirk- u dont think i would try and study u sir when u just randomly came up to me and the guy u are talking about is Orochimaru lord of the snakes he was powerful back in the late 4000years ago -smirks then looks at the cornor of her eye and sees someone that she know and then looks back to him- but y do u bring up such an evil man

[Uzumaki Naruto]

Who are you * he says quite*you act like you know these acting people that you speech of

[Shinku no Yami]

*Looks out of the corner of his eye.* 'That other man isn't doing anything, for now. I'll leave him be.' *Looks back, chuckling slightly.* "Like I said, some eyes can see... deeper. The chakra in your brain gives away your thought patterns. I can't read your mind with this alone, but I can see intentions to a degree." *Pauses before thinking of a response to her second question.* "Orochimaru? Don't think I've heard of him. He sounds like he was a dangerous man."

*Turns to see Shinaro join them.* "So, you've found me. That was quite fast... But I can't say I know anyone here."

[lora wolf]

-moves fast like she had the book in her hand and opens it to the page of orochimaru then looks at shinaro studying him sencing the arua off of both men not wanting to get involed then looks at the man on the build then back to them- well if u would asked my name then u would know me -not trying to b a smart ally but it sounded like it-
