It had really been quite a long week, but a fire had been lit in the unusual agent of the hidden village, Kumogakure, since being prone and helpless to the ravages of disease and infection. Back at home, thousands of sheets of information compiled on the behavior of many individuals in the village, outstanding or not, were messily stacked by his bed with an unnerving commitment to mind-numbing attention and accuracy in what might in fact be an obsessive and pointless endeavor for the sake of safeguarding the village. Sukejuro didn’t think much of it, guilt had strengthened the netting of his mind which was most consistent in the past for allowing stray thoughts to swell out from the infinite depths of the void of his mind.
So after two weeks of stalking and observing many denizens of the village, he soon found himself standing before the place where his current career had all started. The sudden cocking of his head to the right would signal a torrential flood of nostalgia and heartbreak, however the terrible emotions were to be expected, he deserved the pain in some way for once soundly believing he was deserving of any degree of empathy or reprieve from himself and the dreariness that is life. Chuckling a bit, laughter fueled by hurt, the shinobi lurched forward and pushed the intangible needles forth with every step as he fondly remembered his childhood and the man who embraced him.
“Enough of such trivial things, emotions, I am the claw…” he would turn to a gloved hand which, when flexed just right, sprung a sheath of razor-sharp steel claws which mounted on his fingertips like very long and deadly nails as he looked at the gleam of the immaculately well-kept and oiled steel with abstract and horrific iconography etched to the finest degree along each blade, telling of a creature he bore witness in his nightmares, the embodiments of the driving forces that commanded the living. “The claw, which rends the blood into the throat, which steals screams to replace with choking as air is replaced with liquid.” he would continue the mantra as he shifted his fingers just right again as the claw-blades retracted back as he balled up his fist as he roused his resolve.
“Kekeke, that is better, no then…let us see what this premonition of pain has brought us for the future of this village.” he would muttered inanely to himself, teeth grinding passively in anticipation as he reached forth and pressed open the door to the academy to conduct his search.
