[i]"One should not be negligent in the way of the retainer. One should rise at four in the morning, practice sword technique, eat one's meal, and train with the bow, the gun, and the horse. For a well developed retainer, he should become even more so."[/i]

- Kato Kiyomasa, "Articles Concerning which all Samurai should be Resolved, Regardless of Rank" 

Yuuto walked out of the Konohagakure inn, which was eerily devoid of guests. He couldn't blame anyone - Konoha was not the best tourist attraction at the moment. Despite his exile, he was still a dutiful samurai and he had been up since 4, honing his already formidable skills in his room. 

As such, by the time early morning came, he was already at the height of his awareness - something which, in hindsight, wasn't a good thing. If he was supposed to be a unsuspicious traveller he should have stayed tired like all normal people should have. Instead, his alert atmosphere would add even more suspicion to himself. However, none of that was on his mind - all that he was thinking of were three things: first, to find a place to get breakfast, second, the entire republic debacle, and third, to get out of Konoha in case things really did heat up.
