27 - Unexpected Company

An: I think this is my longest chapter as of yet 2.8k words.

Enjoy

On a small boat sailing away from the southern water tribe, Levi and his master sat opposite each other along with two heavy bags with them. Levi could have just put everything on his inventory but that wasn't really an option with Tenzin around but he still put some necessary things in it nonetheless, you never know what might happen.

On the shore stood five people waving at them as they departed, well only three were waving being Sokka, Katara and surprisingly Kato, son of Tenzin and head of the guards, Kya was just leaning on her husband as she watched her son depart.

"He just came back not long ago, why couldn't he just let him rest a little bit more? He is just a little kid. Why does he have to deal with all of this?" said Kya, still watching the boat, her eyes watery but she wasn't crying, she was just resigned to this cruel fate.

"Sigh, that's Master Tenzin for you honey but I bet my life on it that he would die before he let anything happen to Levi he might not look like it but he's actually quite a nice person.” Said Hakoda as he hugged his wife and reassured her.

“But you don't need to worry about it much this time it's just a training trip and with master Tenzin around, not a lot can hurt our son, and he's stronger than he may appear." said Hakoda, smiling at his last sentence.

"GOODBYE BROTHER HAVE A SAFE TRIP AND DON'T FORGET TO BRING ME SOME SWEETS WHEN YOU COME BACK." yelled Katara at the top of her lungs as she waved at the drifting boat completely oblivious to anything else.

"ME TOO, LEVI BRING ME A LOT OF FOOD TOO." followed by Sokka obviously concerned that he might not get any food if he didn't ask for it like Katara did.

Levi only smiled at them as he waved but he didn't forget to engrave their words to heart he will definitely not come back empty-handed.

He side-eyed his master who had his eyes closed and arms crossed anyone, who didn't know better would think he was asleep but Levi knew that he was the one stirring the boat using water bending even if it did not seem like it, unfortunately he did not seem to be paying any attention to his son Kato as he waved him, 'Jeez man he's your son at least have some sympathy and wave back.' fortunately Kato seemed used to his father's antics and didn't seem to mind

But it seemed like Tenzin could read his thoughts as he opened his eyes and glared at Levi, making a chill go up his spine before closing them again.

'Old freak, did he know what I was thinking?' thought Levi before dismissing that absurd thought, with gamer’s mind no one could pry into his thoughts.

Their families weren't the only ones sending them away though. To the side and far away from Levi and Tenzin's families stood a figure, it was Tobirama who only seemed to come here to admire the sea but he was in fact seeing Levi off.

Looking in his direction Levi could see the concerned look on his face but he could only shake his head helplessly while feeling guilty.

Yesterday night Tobirama had tried to convince him to come along insisting that he can stay out of sight and that he can just leave a shadow clone in the village, which is more than enough which Levi 100% believed.

Levi though couldn't accept that, first because with Tenzin and him gone there weren't a lot of reliable forces left in the tribe, and secondly he didn't want to rely on anyone too much, and so poor Tobirama was left to stand guard at the tribe no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't refuse Levi's order.

"So are you going to tell me where we're going!?"Asked Levi.

Tenzin just kept his eyes closed, not reacting at all. They had been sailing for the past four hours and there was still no land on sight even though their boat was going extremely fast through the ocean.
