Avanti

The sun had just set over the expansive country road. It had been some time since Sorin had finally departed from the Leaf village. He had already finished the food from his most recent hunt, yet was hungry again. He begrudgingly walked down the long winding path. He knew how long it would take to reach the stone, but was reluctant to make the trip without bringing food with him. But sadly, due to the urgency of his trip, he simply didn’t have the time to go hunting again. Letting out a sigh, Sorin looked up to the stars above him as he walked along. Unlike the past few nights, tonight’s sky was crystal clear, letting the full radiance and beauty of the moon and stars high in the heavens shine down upon those who inhabit the night. Despite the beautiful sight above, Sorin took no solace in it, knowing that it would still be some time before he would reach his target, let alone before he would be able to enjoy another meal. The only thing that was able to put a smile on his face was the fact that starvation makes the feast all the more enjoyable. Looking at the message he had received, Sorin dreaded the difficulty he would have in this hunt. All he had was a name and a village. No photo, no description, no known associates, and not even a section of the city to search. The message only said one thing.

”Go to Iwagakure, bring back Yamura.”
