How many loved the idea of adventure? Of travel? Many. Oh how adventurous it would be to travel around the world and to see new things. Indeed, it brought the satisfaction of adventure, of meeting new places and people. However, the perspective of travel for children could be entirely different. They wouldn't have a permanent place to call come, people to call neighbors, and most importantly, kids to call their friends.

How unfortunate it was to travel and with each new place to investigate, to experience, there were new people and old people to forget. Both parents knew how unfortunate and unhappy their little was, they knew it. At first she was excited, of course she would be, she was merely around 5 years old when she began to understand the meaning of friendship. From then on, she lost her desire to make any friends for she would end up abandoning them. 

Now at the age of 13, they could only look at her sadly. She used to be a really happy child, very optimistic. For the first few years, she would pretend that everything was for the best but eventually she lost the joy of seeing new places, and then the joy of having new friends. She wasn't anti-social, but she no longer made an effort to make them. She once told them that friends weren't necessary, especially if she would abandon them.

"Are we almost there? It's getting too dark already." The woman asked the male as they walked the rocky path.

The man sighed in exhaustion, they have been traveling all day with only a few stops. "Yes, we should be there in about a mile."

The woman nodded as her grasp on her bag tightened. "Good."

It was a very long mile, but eventually the came to the gates that they were hoping to see soon. At the entrance, there were met with two Shinobi. They had been prepared, with all the papers ready and a home waiting for them.

Once their residency was clear, they headed to their new home. The two adults finally smiled as they carried their things towards the new place. It's obvious that they are tired, and they had a reason to. The male glance around headed to the new home with the help of some of the residents that still lurked around at this hour.

Their home was rather small, nothing to grandiose and quite honestly it looked as if it has been abandoned. The male could only think of the many reconstructions that he would have to make before this house truly became their permanent home.

They placed everything inside and once they settled for the night, the male made sure that their daughter was comfortable for the night. The couple embraced each other looking down at the sleeping girl before they smiled. "Welcome to Konohagakure, [Name]."
