The Rōnin- Naruto

Chapter Ten: Infiltration Manifestation pt. 2

Okay, so I've undoubtedly been out of it, this book had been put on hold for a few days so I could do all of the necessary school assignments, but I'm back and ready to attack. Not really, but yeah.

My writing style might change into more intricately fine details. I've been doing that for all the writing assignments I've done, so it might wane a bit into the chapter, but yeah.

Third Person

Soaring through the air, a hawk descended into a magnifying stream, fish zipping away from the hawk's shadow. One wasn't fast enough. The fish squirmed in the hawks hold, blatantly trying to escape a slow death, the fish lost oxygen, it's life disappearing into the atmosphere, straying from its premature death.

Two skilled shinobi/samurai spotted this incidence, dismissing it from their sight after milliseconds. It was life, after all. Their shadows diminishing from the stream and into an array of grand oaks. The pair mindlessly chatted to pass the time, discussing their interests-even if vague- and their whereabouts before their meeting.

This occurred for about four hours, when they finally reached a clearing. It seemed to be a training ground, Kosuke knew what to do though, unlike Kata.

He confidently led Kata, leaving no weaknesses to use against him even with her back towards her, even with the conversations they didn't trust each other, why would they? The man stopped after a few kilometers, pointing towards the largest building in the city.

" Is this where you need to be, young lady?"

"As a matter of fact, yes; yes, it is."

"Then I will continue with you. I am needed there as well."

" Actually, I think I'll wait for a bit to report, I have a few complications in my schedule that I need figured out."

With a subtle nod, Kosuke sunshinned away, off to the Hokage's office.

Leaving Kata alone, deviously plotting. While also checking her injuries, incredibly they had healed into a clump of newly acclimated skin, leaving a bit of a bump but surprisingly, it was fine. Nonetheless, she was confused and decided to look into it after she had some free time (yeah right).

The Rōnin silently giggled at the fact that she got through the impenetrable Konohagakure so easily. Deciding to explore, she found a hypnotic chakra frequency from an area in the back roads of Konoha, walking unknowingly she saw a divot in the soil.

Curious, she rubbed the divot a bit more, and eventually to her disgruntlement, on her hands and knees. Still not knowing why exactly she was doing this. Interestingly enough, the divot was steel. So instead of the manual approach, she used her chakra and focused it on the sheet of metal, crinkling the metal, almost wistfully.

Underneath it, lied an entrance, Kata still in her trancelike state, followed her senses and continued into the entrance.

Inside lay a set of rusted metallic stairs that revolved in a circular manner, the only source of light seemed to have been placed at the end of the revolving staircase. It wasn't much, but enough for her to continue. The staircase appeared to be never-ending, the woman trekked on, finding the area to be more brightly lit.

Bringing herself out of the hysteria, Kata masked her presence, she grew nearer to the staircase's end, enough to where she could let gravity take it's course, so she did. Trying to take the smile off her face midair.
