Harbor

Age : 33 Posts : 428

Harbor of the Kirigakure no Sato is one of the largest in the shinobi world. Well, it is actually the largest harbor, while the second largest one is located in Konohagakure no Sato. The harbor which was located on the East part of the village, it was the location where all of the larger ships were, which could take travelers to far away lands. One of the ships was going to Yuki no Kuni, where a young man was supposed to go, in order to complete a mission. The ship which was going to Yuki no Kuni was supposed to leave harbor at 2 o`clock in the afternoon. At the moment, it was approximately 13.55 hours, so there was not much time left before the ships sails away. Sadly, if anyone missed this ship, they would have to wait till tomorrow, since the ship only went to Yuki no Kuni once per day.

Somewhere near the harbor, a few miles away, loud steps could be heard and a young man could be seen running as quickly as he could. His dark blue hair was carried by the wind, moving left and right, front and back. Sometimes, it even blocked the sight of the young running man. The headband on around the right arm of him deflected the bright sun rays, annoying the people besides whom he passed. It was obvious that the young man was in a hurry to catch the ship which was going to the Yuki no Kuni, due to two reasons. He was running right towards it, there were no other boats at the part of the harbor where the Yuki no Kuni ship was. The second reason, well, as he ran, the young man loudly shouted: "Wait for me, I need to go to Yuki no Kuni to do a mission."

With each step the young man started coming closer and closer, seconds away from the boat. But, even though he used all of his power to sprint as fast as he could, it seemed that he was simply not fast enough to make it in time. The young man saw that the captain already pulled back the boarding bridge, so getting on the ship was almost impossible. A known fact was that this particular ship was never late when it came to leaving and arriving to the harbor, it always came right on time and it always left at the exact moment when it was supposed to. Sadly, this young man did not know that, so that is why he was in such a mess. He left his apartment a bit early, so he decided to wait in the local bar, forgetting why did he came to the harbor area in the first place. Eventually, he remembered, but it was a little bit too late.

By the time when the young shinobi arrived to the docking area, the boat already sailed. At the moment, it was a couple of meters away from the location of the young man, so it seemed that this man will have to wait for the next ship, which was tomorrow. But then, something happened. The young man clapped his hands together, forming a hand seal. Before anyone could see which one it was, the young shinobi jumped high into the air, reaching a meter away from the boat. His jump was not good enough to reach it, so this attempt was a failure. Or was it? After failing to reach the boat, the young shinobi started falling towards the sea. But, he did not fell into the sea, instead, he landed gently onto the surface of it. Right after landing onto the surface of the sea, the young shinobi made another jump, hopping that this time he will make it.
