You and Sai had finally made it across the almost never ending ocean, and landed on desolate shores of black sand. You now stood on the island of (I/n).
Sai had created a large ink bird to take the two of you across the expanse of blue to your destination. This part of the island was deserted so you there was little to no chance that you would be discovered. Still you and Sai scouted the area, both going in different directions to cover more ground. Once the two of you met up and both reported the charcoal shore as clear; no signs that anyone was or had been there.
There was a quietness about the onyx coast that brought about a sort of nostalgic felling within you. Your eyes ran across the landscape, towards the tall trees that stretched higher and higher as your eyes traveled further and further into the island. Beyond the trees was a sky-scraping volcano, whose peak could not be seen beyond the heavy grew of clouds. The volcano was dormant and had been for as long as you could remember. Just looking at the giant natural structure spread a comforting, yet cold, feeling across your chest. Soon you would be back home, but you were not a friend visiting after a long time. You were an enemy who's mission would change the great island nation forever.
You steeled yourself and started towards the line of spindly trees, whose leaves had long become dulled and almost grey in color. Their bark worn and scratched from almost endless years of battles.
Sai followed behind you without a word.
Now that you were finally in (I/n) you moved silently and more slowly than you did when you were in Konoha. You proceeded towards the latent volcano, where the city of (c/n) was. Where your sister was.
you entered the word with caution, ready to be attacked at any moment. Even though this part of the island was usually desolate and void of people, you remained vigilant. You didn't want to take that chance of getting attacked all because you let your guard down.
The sky had was a misty grey. The sun masked by thick clouds, making everything dull. Daylight losing to the thickness and unyielding attack of the gloom. The sky in (I/n) was never as bright as it was in other places. It was almost as if the sun had denied the island it's presence. Instead, the your island was filled with days of rain and an always grey sky, no matter the year.
You walked towards the rustling trees tentative and covertness. Once you were sure that there was absolutely no one in wait to ambush the two of you, you jumped high into the canopies. The leaves shielding you from prying eyes. You then began to move. You glanced back first, to make sure that Sai was in unison with your movements and then you proceeded to weave your way through the dense leaves. You scanned the terrain, searching for a certain place. You continued searching, zig-zagging and looping through the forest. Soon the thicket became denser and the trees grew closer together, making the canopies even more filled with branches. As you moved, smaller branches broke continuously; as you found no need to dodge them.
After a while, you began to recognize the area. You came upon an very familiar line of trees and veered right. This was a very unexpected move, as you did so quickly and with out warning. You turned back a moment to make sure that Sai was still behind you. He was a little further than he was before, but her was following you nonetheless. You had the stopped on a branch of an old and scratched red wood tree. Even at the top of the towering and immense structure, you could see the marks and bruises. The marks were old, but they still embodied the entirety of the reason that you wanted to end your sisters rule. No one was safe with your clan being the way it was now. Not even the land, that had housed and sheltered your people form the beginning of time, was safe from the sheer ambition and drive to concur that your people possessed .
You were now in at the edge of a line of trees that opened opened into a small meadow of tall grass and white flowers and tall grass. You jumped down from the canopies, and started towards an incline in the small clearing.
