Yoroi Kaguya

Now that he was back home, the first thing he wanted to do was make a list of everything that was missing from his base camp. To his surprise, the only thing that had really changed was the bonfire that had died out from not getting any new twigs and logs to burn. Checking his buried food rations, it seemed that everything was exactly the way he had left it when he went on his way to see a bit more of the world. In the end, Yoroi had learned a lot of things by just traveling, among these being the fact that he did not like Kumogakure all that much, being way too crowded with Kaguya for his tastes. Next to that, it’s people did not seem to be all that nice either, being incredibly closed off and unkind to strangers such as himself, this being something that contributed to him leaving the place as soon as he did.

Emptying the seeds he had taken from the groves of Kumogakure into one small crate, he put the bags that carried the plant saplings in a larger one, making sure they would not be touched until he came back from Konoha. Yoroi had high hopes for all of these plans, knowing that even if things did not work out his way, he would still have a new hobby to tend to, gardening. Taking off his coat, he placed it inside of his tent, allowing Kaien to just keep sleeping inside of it, giving him a chance to fully recuperate from his encounter with starvation. When Yoroi was about to leave the tent, he turned to see a somewhat confused Shakreido, seeing the sleeping falcon laying inside of it’s masters tent. Looking straight at Yoroi with a look that was best described as “are you serious?”, Yoroi let a sigh escape his lips as both he and Shakreido left the tent.

”Shakreido, this is Haien, he will be our new companion from now on. I know that there is something going on with you birds and serpents not liking one another all that much, though you are going to have to get along, or I will put the both of you on the barbecue. Now, I will have to go to Konoha, feel free to come with me or stick around her and get something to eat”

Even though he spoke in a joking manner, he truly hoped that the two could get along with one another. With that, he left the two of them in the camp, certain that the two animals would not defy his wish and remained clear from the other, at least until Yoroi came back. By the time Yoroi made his way down the mountain, something soared right past his head. Seeing only a blur at first, he could tell that it was Kaien that flew in the distance, almost as if he were guiding the way to the village for him. Climbing a tall tree at a rapid pace, the first thing he wanted to do now was to look out across the village from outside of it’s walls, just like he did before he had left on a short journey.

On the outskirts of the village, Yoroi sat at the top of a tall tree, overlooking the village from a distance, feeling more then satisfied in having gotten home in one piece the way he did, making him more then happy. With Shakreido remaining out in the woods to get himself some much needed food, Kaien was flying high above him, scanning the area with it’s keen sight. With Shakreido and Kaien, Yoroi had all the help he needed in order to get around the world, having two trusty animals that helped him with tasks such as tracking and navigating through harsh terrain, just like they had done when he was braving his way through the land of snow. Being in one of the best moods he had ever been in during his short life, he just could not help but smile now that he was finally out of the powdery snow he hated so incredibly much.

Now that he was home, he could see his friends Kimiko and Viera again, the people that were closer to him then any other human. In fact, the only other living beings he had bonded this much with were Kaien and Shakreido, making the amount of people and animals he actually liked go all the way up to four. It did not seem like a lot, but for a hermit who took to avoiding contact with other humans, any number above zero was quite a lot. On his way into the city, he saw an old woman standing in her garden, hitting into the ground with a rake and yelling at her cat over something. At first, he could not help but laugh a bit at her attempts to do whatever it was she was doing, though this swiftly changed when the rake fell out of her hands.

In the process of losing her rake, she lost her balance and fell backwards onto the soft grass. Needless to say, this only made her yell at herself and her cat all the more, swearing and cursing like there was no tomorrow. Despite her old age, she seemed to be okay entirely, getting up with relative ease before Yoroi could get to her and help her back up to her feet. Walking over to the old person, he made sure his eyes in the sky kept their gaze on him and any other people who might want to be annoying. Yoroi was not very well known in the village, his bewildered appearance making it no more then natural for people to jump to the conclusion that he was some kind of freak that had come to the village to cause trouble.

Yoroi Kaguya

“Excuse me ma’am, would you like me to assist you in taking care of your garden? I am not much of a gardener in terms of profession, though I have seen these in the forest quite often, proving to be very unruly, not to mention that they are incredibly filthy. In any case, you should just take it easy and sit down, leave these annoying plants to me”

After a momentary silence, the woman nodded at him, probably being quite happy with his aid in her garden. It was not the kind of work a woman her age should be doing on a hot day like this, though Yoroi knew that she had probably come to realize this herself too. Letting out a sigh, she allowed the young man to do her work for her, sitting down in a lazy chair, rocking it and enjoying the sun that stood high up in the sky today. There was no helping it now, he had made an offer and the elder had accepted, meaning his reunion with Kimiko and Viera would have to wait for a while. Cracking his fingers, he marched towards the garden and got down on his knees, taking a moment to check the garden, scanning the vines he had to uproot and making sure that he would not accidentally get rid of the plants the lady had been growing.

Once he was certain of the task at hand, he held out his arm. Allowing a sharp bone to protrude from his wrist, he started carving into the ground, severing the plants at the root, his blade easily plowing through the shallow, loose earth. Whenever the roots seemed to dense to cut through and the earth got in his way too much, Yoroi simply allowed a lightning chakra current pass through his bones, ripping through whatever it was that stood in the way of his bone blade. By the time he was done, he had been on hands and knees in the garden for well over an hour, having a large pile of vegetative waste laying behind him. Getting back on his feet, he retracted the back into his palm and wiped the sweat off of his head.

Picking the pile of vines and holding them under his arm, he dropped them by the side of the house, not knowing whether the lady wanted to use them for compost or if she just wanted to get rid of them. Truth be told, he could care less about what the old woman wanted, he had done her a favor and had not asked for any compensation. Regardless of what she wanted, the work was done and she had gotten herself a day of to just sit back and enjoy a great day. Before the woman could open her eyes to see his work and thank him, he had already left the place in order to get back to Kimiko. Now he just had to figure out where to find her, this probably being the biggest problem for now. The day had taught him the bad side of gardening, though Yoroi was still going to make it his hobby, right after he met up with Kimiko.
