Shouken had just finished his bowl of cereal when his phone buzzed and lit up. He closed his book on Genjutsu Strategies and rinsed his bowl before noticing the unrecognizable phone number. After unlocking his phone, Shouken read the message and could barely make out what was said. He did, however, manage to make out the name below the message reading, "Aoi". Once deciphered, Shouken figured he should make his way out as soon as possible. He threw on his khaki pants and his black jacket and proceeded to the village streets. 

That past 2 years were quite dull for Shouken. His missions were not as lively and everything seemed to be going quite slow. Though this was not a terrible thing, Shouken longed for more action and adventure in his life. Shouken hoped his next mission would give him what he was looking for, for he was supposed to travel to his birth village of Sunagakure. 

After a short walk, Shouken began to draw near the North Gate. His house was only located about a mile away so the walk was terribly bad. It seemed he was the first to arrive so he found a seat on a stump shaded by a short tree, just short enough that Shouken had to slightly duck under it's hanging limbs to reach his rest. 

Shortly after getting comfortable, Shouken noticed two young ladies approaching, hand-in-hand. He recognized Aoi from various reports and events and know of Akio Tendou being her relationship to Aoi. 

Shouken rose from the stump to greet his squadmates. He approached them with a smile and introduced himself.

He extended a hand towards Aoi with his smile deluted down to a simple grin.
