Another brilliant day with the sun shining and a gentle breeze sweeping over the village. Akira had a perfect view of the whole place as he headed to the top of Hokage Rock, Shiromaru, his ninken pulling up alongside him with a joyful bark. Finally the pair were allowed out together, no longer forced to be watched over by Aomaru now that the young Shiba was old enough to put up a fight alongside Akira should the situation call for it.
"Hey, come on, Shiro!" Akira called to the young Shiba as he merrily skipped to the park area atop the mountain. Shiromaru galloped to the top but face-planted into the back of Akira's legs after the boy had come to an abrupt stop. He let out an annoyed grunt, but went back to wagging his tail in no time, mesmerised by the view of the village in front of him.
"See, I told ya it was amazing up here!" The young shinobi mused to his partner who yipped in excitement, giving his master's leg an affectionate nuzzle, "should be meeting someone here today, buddy. You'll really like him, I promise!"
