_《 His past 》 _

[ Author's Point of View ]

Morning comes and Indra is already heading to the Yamazaki's. He have everything planned out, from changing his appearance into changing his personality as well.

He had his eyebrows redrawn as his trimmed out brows will signify nobility hence exposing his status and furthermore getting his cover blown. Instead of his light-colored kimono adorned with magatama signs that is kept together by the dark sash, he wears a hakama and haori, a simple villager's clothing, and instead of ninja sandals, he wears zori with tabi to keep his feet warm and cozy.

His hair in low ponytail while some fringes sticking out at every direction in an enticing way. He have his forehead wrapped with black bandanna and he removed those bandages that keeps his locks at either side of his pale face.

He makes sure that he's beyond unrecognizable before he heads out to seek out for the girl. It takes him a few hours before he arrives onto their place, he looks around and he immediately notices the hospitable ambiance in the atmosphere.

His eyes squinting..

' How can a clan with a world-threatening ability be this... peaceful? '

The young Otsutsuki can't understand as to why such irony exists in front of him, like do they have no clue on being the most powerful clan that possibly existed?

A gentle tap on the shoulder brings Indra back from his deep thoughts, he could tell that the grip of the person is gentle and no hint of hostility.

It almost make him wish to live here instead.

He looks up to see an old lady, looking down at him like he's her own grandson. His eyes nearly widens at the feeling of a mother's touch, oh how he longed this feeling. He nearly leans onto it..

' It's best to keep your mind intact, Indra.. '

" Do you perhaps live here, young man? " her warm and gentle voice soothes his tensed soul.

He only shakes his head as an answer.

" Just another traveler to take refuge for a while before continuing his journey.. " her eyes closes as she smiles.

" My, my.. aren't you quite charming, my child.. " she coos as she gently pats his head and tugs him along with her as they both enter the place.

Indra is quite perplexed as to why this old lady is taking him in without any signs of hesitation. Aren't they wary that he can be a threat to all of them?

" You must be thinking of why I'm taking you in, my child.. " Indra tenses a little as he feels like an open book, he looks up to her eyes to find any faux gentleness. But it's still there and they're genuine at that.

" You see.. the Yamazaki clan is a peaceful one, and by any means of peaceful; we take great measures on keeping everything under control.. " she looks back to him.. " You have the good heart, my child.. someone just have to dig it from the depths within you.. " she smiles down at him.

And Indra?

Stunned and completely awestruck.

Why can't their village be as peaceful as this one? Why is peace really hard to reach? Just what does it takes to attain it? He looks down as he knits his partially faux eyebrows.
