Thunderclap On A Clear Sky

undefined Tap. Tap. Tap. The slow footsteps of the silhouette continued. Rays of the morning sun bathed her light skin with warmth and vigor. Yet, slow she walked, not in any hurry to get wherever she was headed. Adorned in a long-sleeved as white as snow, with a ribbon of the same color tied around her torso. An obsidian contrasted her kosode, and a pair of  had adorned her feet. Suddenly, she stopped. Her eyes slowly looked around the environment that encompassed her presence. Mountains stretched as far as the eye can see, water-filled valleys twisting along the high structures. The area itself was engulfed in loud silence, nought a single whisper or chirp. It was just simply marvellous. How she had longed for peace and quiet, a way for her to drown the stresses that accompanied her duties. Nirvana was well within reach, an abyss with nothing but tranquility, and the young woman felt, happy...

Seitei sat down, crossing her legs and separating her arms to face sideways. Slowly, she let her body loose, entering a state of nirvana within her mind. Not a soul would dare disturb such a peaceful lady, as most knew how horrifying and dangerous she truly was. Her eyes had closed, her visage become an abyss with no emotions. Her mind was set free as thoughts of worry left her mind, as she tried to grasp the enlightenment of ignorance. "Not knowing is buddha...", Seitei would always tell herself, a belief she stood by in the amoral world of shinobi. Blood fell on her hands whilst protecting the innocent, as she had to kill a life to save a life. Why? Why did she need to kill in order for others to live? What was wrong with the world? Each day, the young lady wondered, and in each time, she received more questions than others. To escape it, she had to let such thoughts go, even if she could only do so in an ephemeral. Meditating is her way of finding that fleetinf moment of absolute tranquility, free from all the problems that the cruel world had to offer.

"Are we there yet?" a figure asked as two dark silhouettes trudged in the mountains of the Land of Iron. After a brief silence, the other had conjured an answer. "For the 19th time. No." he snarled, a tone that showed exasperation. These two figures bore powerful chakra, and it was undeniable that they were men among men in power and in their social standing. One of the two, was none other than a man praised for his breath-taking skills in the entire shinobi world, single-handedly eliminating a thousand shinobi without ever moving the slightest muscle. Walking up to the mountain, he could feel the chakra signature of their goal much closer, taking a small sigh of relief. "Almost there..." he uttered from within his psyche. Then, a smile crept on his visage. As he was the only one of the two who knew the young woman's attitude, Heiwa thought of a way to get some revenge on his student for the agonizing journey he had put him through. "Hey, Yoshi. See that woman over there?" he asked the man beside him, grabbing his shoulder and leaning into his ear as they stepped closer to Seitei, who, on the other hand, was within a world of her own in her mind.
