Border of Iron: Alone...once more.[/center]
[hr]

Takehsi Ruzuzaki stared from afar as the battle waged on for a bit more, he clicked his tongue as his Hydra technique was blocked by Paneru's barrier, he knew she was protecting the two that had yet to retaliate. So why: Why did he decide to attack them? Was it a sense of pride?

To assist Yamato, who he to, should have held back despite the power difference?

To protect? Just what exactly?

Takeshi closed his eyes as he listened onto the post battle talk, he didn't bother opening them when Kusaru spoke his name, instead he leaned on the tree closer to him. The feeling was being afraid of replaced of weakness. The tree he cut down was avoided by Gian despite being (Seemingly) under Saburo's genjutsu. The clown had done things he had only seen top Ninja's do. After that little demonstration: Gain and Kusaru had left the group to themselves. The pressure that was on them lifted, to which Takeshi took as a blessing: Bloodshed and reckless behavior were avoided: at least for today. 

“I suppose we should rest up a bit after that, and we can continue with the delivery of that man, tomorrow. Make camp, everyone.” Choko-taicho commanded everyone. Takeshi on the other hand had other plans. He was far away from everyone else. And he carelessly threw his lef knife into the winter snow, Luckily it was attached to a very long line. Sighing loudly he gently held the wire and began following the path on his weapon, he would soon be crossing pathes with everyone. The moment he got to the others he could hear Daiki arguing with Yamato.

[color=ed1c24]“You really think you're a god don't you, Yamato.”[/color] His voice rushed out like a raging river.  [color=ed1c24]“Think yourself untouchable? Well you're not, you're nothing but human ... just like the rest of us.”[/color] With a flick of his wrist he summoned Anemone once again. [color=ed1c24]“I'm really sick of hearing this “I am god” bullshit. I'll bury your pride with your bones and make you realize you're nothing but dirt!”[/color]

He could see his former Leader, Tsukiko-Sensei coming in the settle the matter, Takeshi though it would be wise to move out of her way. He didn't bother however to stay to hear her tell everyone to stay put.

The Green haired ninja paused for a moment before continuing on his way: he couldn't care less about what Yamato did now or the fact that Daiki had beef with him....in fact given the situation: Everyone would have a problem with him. hearing the voices drifting on into the distance, the sounds where replaced with the wind and the sound of his feet crushing the snow beneath him. [color=00a651]"Come on, it couldn't have traveled far..."[/color] walking deeper into the winter forest he soon found his knife lodged deeply into the tree. Rolling his eyes he placed on foot on the tree and with his might, managed to dislodged it. Smiling to himself he pocketed his left and right Balisong knives as looked around. sighing the pulled out his knife one again and craved a direction to where he came from before walking in the opposite direction. Right now being alone is want he wanted.

Unless someone had decided to tail him for whatever reason, he had a knack for getting lost, but getting back was not problem. [color=00a651]"So....that was something huh?"[/color] he muttered to himself quietly as he held out his arms wide and stretched. He stopped dead as he heard the sound of water rushing somewhere, pondering to himself he decided to see if there was a water source that was around.

Minutes later:

He [url=http://www.walloza.com/tat_uploads/7673-hd-winter-waterfall-hdr-wallpaper.jpg]Found it.[/url]

The water was still clear as anything while the snow that had settled on everything it touched. Takeshi stood at the base of the small waterfall as stared. He slowly stood a step onto the water as he reached the middle [color=00a651]"Kuarsu, Gain....Yamato...everyone."[/color] holding out his hands and balling them into fists [color=00a651]"No matter how you look at it, aside from who they act....each one of them have worked hard to get to where they are now."[/color] he smiled, he, out of everyone had praised even the young master. [color=00a651]"Where do i stand with them...right where i have always have...at the back of everyone else...my attacks where even stopped by Paneru, shows how strong i am."[/color] he knelt down close to the water, not minding that his pants were getting wet he cupped the icy water and splashed the water om him, waking his senses up. [color=00a651]"Man...that felt good!"[/color]

Another silent moment flew by as he stood up and walked towards to the water was falling, getting closer to it he saw his reflection, he looked badass and yet he was far away from it. [color=00a651]"I'm going to leave the hidden leaf, if i stay here....i will never become strong."[/color]

[color=00a651]"No one will be bother by my absence, heck i think i would do everyone a good favor if i left."[/color]

[i]'Why not join the enlightenment?'[/i] Takeshi's though halted to a stop before thinking over it. [color=00a651]"Nah, i would be no more than a pawn to them. If i want to get stronger...."[/color] he left his sentence unfinished as he continued to immerse himself with the area around him.

The fake scroll was starting to glow.
