Pleading Eyes

A Youthful Green Beast And One Creepy Snake Man

Now a few days later after the incident at the Uchiha's home, the selected boys set out to travel along with an unusually tense man.

Tajima and Butsuma had been shown the perfect place to create the shinobi village and while Percy went with their kids to personally invite the other clans to join, the two past rivals, now somewhat acquaintances, had been meeting up with the Nara's leader as they set about building everything the village would need.

All three clan heads had met with the chosen travelers as they bid gentle farewells, the Nara head being the only one to notice the haunted-looking man as Shusuke watched the man flinch every time someone moved or spoke too loudly.

The lazy man didn't know what had happened to the mentally and physically damaged man, but he had never seen Percy like this before. It was almost as if he had seen a ghost...

But Shusuke wouldn't know what had happened with the Uchiha's, seeing as he wasn't there at the time, and yet, the Nara couldn't help but notice that something had disturbed the sea-green eyed man.

And no one else had noticed.

No one except him.

And that greatly worried the ponytailed man, because if he was the only one who had noticed something was terribly wrong with the man....

Who was going to help the man while he was away with the kids?

Yet no one said anything as Shusuke lingered by the paranoid man, staying by his side quietly as the others said their goodbyes, moving carefully and very slowly whenever he did, seeing as the man would tense up if anyone did something unpredictable.

And when the time finally came for the kids to head out, Shusuke was incredibly disappointed that no one had noticed the man's ever shifting eyes as they rapidly moved around to look for invisible enemies that no one else could see.

What a drag.

This was exactly why the Nara thought people were too troublesome. It would be better if everyone was just a cloud, that way they would sleep all day and not cause any problems.

Shusuke just hoped the terrified man didn't mess things up, the kids would need all the help they could get and the man going with them was impossibly powerful, intelligent to a fault as well even if he didn't always show it.

"Remember to not get into any unnecessary arguments with the other clan's, just try and convince them to join us as the first shinobi village. Alright?"

All the kids nodded as the one neutral man explained things to them one last time, if one of their father's had done it... the other kids wouldn't care to listen seriously as it wasn't their own father who explained things to them, and so the Nara had to do all of the explaining as he scratched his head absently.

This was all too troublesome.

And then they were off, Percy having memorized the map the day before, having not been able to sleep after what had happened....

Percy didn't like thinking about it.

The three remaining men watching the group leave running as Tajima softly patted Izuna's head, his former rival doing the same to his own youngest son, Itama Senju.

Those two were decided to stay, seeing as they were too young and it would be best if their abilities were used in building the village they had so desperately wanted.

Besides this way, they would keep busy until the other clans came to the village, they would have to prepare quickly as Percy could convince anyone to join without even trying too hard.
