A Jack Lost in the Woods

It was morning in the Land of Sound. It was a crisp morning, as the sun's rays had yet to burn off the slight chill of the night before. A slight mist still clung to the earth, hanging softly in the morning light. The sky was clear, and the world seemed calm. It was almost an unreal thought that mere months ago this area had been annihilated under an assault by Extremists. The land had been healed by the combined efforts of civilians and shinobi alike. The city was still in the process of rebuilding, but had been aided from the world around. Where once stood a thriving trade city brought low, now stood a tree of titanic proportions. Construction was being carried out within this tree, carving out living spaces and the like. It was to be the new home of the sound. It was the fruit of the labors of one young Woman. She had spent hours growing the tree that was to house the city. It would be their fortress, their city, their home...

A New City, A New Life
Hana was exhausted. Even though it had been 3 days since she had raised the tree that was to become the basis for the new Otogakure, the effort required to create something on that scale had left her drained. But even tired, she had decided to venture out of her temporary lodgings to explore the tent city that had replaced Otogakure while the city was being rebuilt. With any luck, her exhaustion wouldn't matter today. As long as she didn't use a large amount of jutsu, her chakra and stamina levels were more than sufficient for the time being. To put it simply, it was time for a change of pace for the young woman. Who knew what the day had in store for her.
