Tetsu's Favorite Area

It hadn't but a few moments before Tetsu arrived. It was still the same as it always was when he returned. His hammock between the 2 trees at the edge of the forest still remained untouched from the last time he was there. The light salty breeze of the ocean was enough to make Tetsu fall asleep instantly. He could hear the light crash of the waves as the hit the bank of the island. He kicked off his shoes and let his feet rub against the soft grass as he walked over to his hammock and sat down. "This place is always so secluded, it's incredibly peaceful and theirs hardly nothing here to bother you at all." Tetsu sat the cups of ramen, kept warm from the insulated foam cups they were put in, next to his feet on the ground. He then took a deep breath through his nose, smelling the crisp air as well as tasting it through his smell. He loved this place.

Zone followed the man to the forest side.. It was a nice place to sit back and relax for a while, it gave off that kick your feet back type of feel. The boy looked around this place, seeing that there was a tree with shade under it about 8 feet away from this guys hammock. It was weird that this guy was just taking him to this secluded place. It was almost creepy. But, Zone shook that feeling off and tried to stay on the path of the words that that man had said. He knew who the man was. He was a high ranking ninja named Dante. He heard the name around during the kage's offical speech. He figured that that was who he had to be, he heard someone mention that the guy was hooded. Zone decided to take a seat under the palm tree, looking up into the sky. It was a pretty nice day out. He looked back down into the grassy plain. This was similar to the place where he usually trained at. "Do you train here? This place is pretty nice." Zone was a soldier at heart. He always was thinking about training to get better. He had no relative family, the boy was a orphan. He never really knew anything but to train and survive. Wether it be on the battlefield or on the streets of the ocean village.

Zone got alittle comfortable and put his head on the tree's trunk, looking back up into the sky. His arms were on his knee's and his hands hanged loosely between them. "Do you ever bring people back here?"

"Nah, I don't train here. This is my relaxing place. I've never seen anyone here before." Tetsu Kokku responded to Zone calmly as if he was completely relaxed. He took one of the cups from the bag and removed the lid. He then took a pair of sticks out of the bag and slurped down a large chunk of the noodles.

"No, I've never shown this place to anyone before. I was actually on my way here from a short trip out of the country when I saw Dante. Then you showed up and we requested to stay together for a week. So, I figured, I was comin' here already, might as well show you this place."

He tossed the bag gently over to Zone, being careful so that he didn't throw the noodles around everywhere and spill them everywhere. He smelled the salty air once more, only now it was filled with the smell of ramen as well. He took another slurp of his noodles.

"So, why did you agree to hang out for a week? I did it cause I was bored of runnin' around solo... Well, that, and I figured it would be a good learning experience for me."

Zone caught the bag with the noodles. He wasn't very hungary, but didn't want to look like he just was going to reject this offer. Zone opened the plastic bag and took out the ramen and some chop sticks. He opened the ramen and took out some noodles with the chop sticks. He shoved a small portion of the noodles in his mouth and ate some. He then put the cup down into the grass. "Pretty much the same reasons. The last group I was with were murdered infront of me. So, being around someone would help me with running around by myself." The boy was kind of shook, but his voice was clear and bold. He went back to lying his head back onto the trunk of the tree and letting his arms fall over his knee's. He relaxed a bit, trying to let the surrondings ease him. "I wasn't planning on doing anything anyway. It was going to be relaxing for me too"

Tetsu Kokku slurped down the rest of his noodles before setting the cup down the in the grass. He laid back in his hammock and placed his hands behind his head, he laid with his left leg stretched out and his right bent so that his knee was up.

"The last group was killed you say? Why were you with a group lookin' to get killed? If you don't mind me askin'?"

Tetsu looked up between the branches of the trees into the sky at the clouds that flew by way up in the sky.

"I think it might rain in a little while..."

Tetsu's propped up leg fell down as he moved his left leg to hang off the hammock's side waiting for Zone's reply.

Zone shrugged, looking up into the sky. "Its not that we were looking for a fight. We were sparring. Two guys showed up and killed both the guy's I was with. I don't know if they were after me too, they didn't really care." Zone remembered. He looked back onto his experiance. He knew that they laughed at his weakness. He knew they didn't care where he was or where he went. They just wanted to flex there muscles and rise to power. Zone knew the concepts. He would some day be able to do whatever the hell he wanted. Until that day though, he would wait and dig for his gold. "The killers are the Kage and his follower's. It's crazy that im trying to actually fight for him." Zone looked into the sky and saw the clouds. He didn't think alot about it. It was already a cool day. Zone thought about his training for a while. What if he could actually get to the highest gate? What would he do with it? He already took the "can't beat'em, join'em" attitude. He sighed, moving his sight from the sky to the ground between his legs. Zone didn't have alot to stress about, but he had plans that he's seen and plan's to make them happen. "It doesn't suprise me really. The world's cold." The young boy was no pussy. He understood. He adapted. "Do you like the newly appointed kage? He has to be strong. What kind of technique's do you think he has?" He felt a droplet on his head. "...Starting to rain..."
