The Paths of Peace

$\sigma$

It was a sunny day within the village of Sunagakure, where Kisui is finishing up getting some groceries and heading home. But despite this sunny day, it all feeels dark to him. He felt his end coming, and Hagoromo did as well. It was perhaps this feeling that Kisui had that he knew he was going to die. He had dreams of it constantly over the past few weeks, and it continued to haunt him; A towering figure, with energy darker than the voids of space itself standing over him as he breathed his last breaths. Making his way back home, he noticed a letter on the table, no doubt sent in by the postmaster. Picking up the letter, he opens it and begins to read the contents.

"Dear Kisui. I know that you possess the spirit of Hagoromo. I want to test your abilities, your path of peace, to see if it coexists with mine. If you wish to know more, meet me in Yamagakure. I expect your visit to be one of a turning point. Sincerely, Sigma Uchiha." Nodding, Kisui begins packing some supplies to make his way towards Yamagakure. "Hagoromo, if it is true, I might not be long for this world. Perhaps this Sigma may turn out to be a potential host for you. You've still got a goal to try and bring peace to the world, but what good would that do if you were inhabiting the body of the dead?" Sighing, Kisui is willing to accept his fate if it means there is something greater in store for the world. "Perhaps. But are you sure you're willing to do such a thing?" Hagoromo asks. He has always trusted Kisui to make the right decision, and while he doesn't doubt he'll do the same now, he still wonders if he'd still be able to make that decision. "I'm sure, Hagoromo. The path of peace is neverending. The people who follow that path die eventually, but the path is always there." Kisui replies. Grabbing his bag, Kisui teleports Yamagakure in a stream of rose petals, with the petals eventually reforming back into him as the teleportation is complete, finding himself at the gates of Yamagakure.
