Flashback part 30:

A decent estate greeted my eyes as I closed in on the panicked guard.

It was the largest and grandest estate amongst the other worn out huts in this corrupt village.

Even though the greying brown estate was rusty and slightly tattered, one could easily tell that the most affluent and prized citizens resided there.

The entrance of the estate lay just a couple of feet ahead of us, with a huge board slung above two huge wooden doors stating,

'Central HQ'

This had to be the place.

With a firm nod to no one in particular, I leapt forth, lunging without a pinch of hesitance at the exhausted man I had been tailing, ready to end his life so I could finally begin with what I had planned to do.

I'd be merciful and make his death short-lived and as painless as possible since he hadn't exactly done much evil, at least to my knowledge.

And thus, with a swift retrieval of my sharpened kunai, I plunged it deeply, angling 45 degrees to the side of his neck, turning it for good measure as I encased his body with an arm, leaping back away to the nearest shelter to prevent any unnecessary attention that might warrant more trouble.

I waited impatiently for a couple more slow-passing moments until his entire body went limp before quickly whipping up a series of generic seals and hen-ged into a look a like of this guard.

Short black hair with soft natural curls,
Rounded almond eyes that seemed to be on the big side,
Slim pale lips,
And not forgetting the little blemish on the right cheek

Sticking a hand into his left pocket and then into his belongings, I rummaged through them, hoping to find a form of identification or something else that would help secure my imposition of this poor man.

Alas, a satisfied smile graced my lips as I clutched onto the rectangular plastic card that held the identification details of this man.

Upon securing the card into the safe comforts of my pouch, I turned to the man and bowed, passing on my mutters of apology for a greater good and thanked him sincerely before rejoining my palms at the centre of my chest and swiftly repeating the very familiar seals:

Snake Ram Monkey Boar Horse Tiger

Upon closing my palms together with my index finger forming an upward V, I completed the last seal and brought my hands beneath my mouth and inhaled sharply.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"

Amounting chakra kneaded within and was quickly expelled in the form of a massive orb of flame, quickly demolishing any remnants of the dead man in front of me.

With that done, I exhaled with a sigh of slight regret and stalked back toward the entrance of the HQ, slightly irked by how emotionless I had gotten but pumped with excitement that had been dearly missed for a long time.

Two seemingly professional guards moved forth upon my arrival with a customary lift of their swords and uttered the often recited words,

"State your identification and case."

I nodded obligingly and whipped out the identification card I had just stolen seconds ago and flashed it inconspicuously to the pair.
