Spirit Chapter: A Long Awaited Reunion

It was a peaceful day. Out in the forests just outside of Konohagakure, the wind blew through the trees, carrying loose leaves with them as they breezed through the forest. The animals in the forest grazed upon nuts and berries that decorated the ground, gathering their fill for the day. In the center of the forest was a man, sitting comfortably upon a stump, a pencil and book in hand. His red robes blue gently in the wind, his hair following suit. His eyes stared intently at his book, writing down many things related to the fields of cosmology. Everything, from the theories of supernovas to planetary creation, were lined up in neatly written drawings and dialogue within the pages of his book. His name is Kisui Iyoku, and he has picked the forest as a quiet spot to write down some of his theories on the speed of light and its effects on time and space.

"It's not every day we can find a spot this peaceful, is it, Kisui?" A gentle voice spoke out from nowhere. This voice is Kisui's guiding spirit, an ancient one of a samurai from a time long past. Eleven years ago, he inhabited Kisui's body to help guide him on the road to peace and has been something of a spiritual mentor to him. "I agree. It's nice to get away from Sunagakure once in a while and go towards my studies. I feel as though I'm almost on a breakthrough, here, and I'm excited to get it finished." Kisui replied, further writing down drawings and equations related to the speed of light.
