Ryoko woke up in the inn, sore and exhausted from the fight last night. It had a month since she had left the village on her leave of absence, and already she was getting bored from the fights she got into with the locals from the small towns she had visited. Last nights fight wasn't that bad. She challenged a group of drunk locals who looked like they could hold their own in a fight. She could obviously take them on one on one and win easily. So she challenged them to a five on one, with one arm behind her back. It wasn't as easy as she expected. The men were better than she expected. They actually had some amount of skill. The fight was done in about thirty seconds. She took some solid hits but hit back harder.

Ryoko got out of bed and headed downstairs, still half asleep. She had been bouncing around from small town to small town following rumors of powerful fighters that she could challenge. Almost entirely, disappointments, the rest not so much. As she walked out the door she heard something that got her attention.

"-the Hokage's Funural."

Ryoko's ears perked up. The Hokage's funeral? That was horrible news. She heard good things about the Hokage. Many people would be there. That was it! Many powerful people. That's where she would find someone worthy to challenge. She quickly ran out the door and headed toward Konaha. She'd have to hurry if she wanted to get there before they all left.
