Shion was sleeping in as he knew that today would be a long one. Slowly he started to wake up around 11 am, something that he could change was his sleeping pattern easier. Out of his ears, he would get earplugs and the chirping of the birds outside soon made small echo’s inside his place. “Wonder the time…” he only said and would start to slowly get up. His hair was a real mess and he had wide clothing on.
He walked towards the kitchen where he first started to turn a few buttons on a small machine. A crackling sound was soon coming from it and an antenna was being moved around on top till a clear sound was coming from the small box. “this radio better survive it..” The male muttered and would start to follow along for his day.
In the kitchen, he would start to grind the coffee beans, sadly in a very old one as he had yet the time to purchase a good coffee maker. As soon as the beans were ground Shion would scoop it inside a small cloth. “3 scoops… 4 water…” He would mutter the ration and start to boil water on the side. As the water was still going towards the boiling temperature, Shion would open up the front door. The warm rays hit him and he would leave a big yawn. “Guess it is around mid-day..” He eventually spoke up and got back inside as he heard the kettle going off.
In his DYI coffee machine, he would pour the water inside the clothing and as it would seep through, the coffee would be blended too. A slow progress but one non the less an effective one.
After a solid 20 mins he would finally be sitting outside with another cigarette, a coffee, and his lazy ass on the chair. He had slept a very long time which was quite rare for him as an insomniac. “Headache from all the sleeping..” It would be a tough day today as he was supposed to be super focused. “At least I won’t sleep on the job..” He muttered along before he would pick up the newspaper near him. Placing the coffee on the ground next to him and placing the cigarette in his mouth. Then folding open the paper in his hand… and stare a good few seconds before facepalming hard. “I am an idiot…” He muttered after. It had been such a ritual to do in the morning from before he was blind; that he did it on automatic pilot.
He summoned Aki to read him the newspaper who first laughed a lot at him. “Tsk…” He only had replied on the teasings of the yokai. Soon there were already 2 cups of coffee further and Shion started to get ready. ’ I need to make sure that they won’t recognize me… Make-up and hair dye comes in a good place… I don’t need contacts as my eyes have changed on their own now…’ He started to grab a handful of things. At first, he started to put temporarily dye in his hair that would last a day or 3, with that being done he would rinse it out and dry it out in the sun.
After an hour of prepping he would be standing ready to move out. He had now black hair, no freckles anymore yet a scar running over his eye. His clothes looked like one that traveled a lot; his cloak thorn but still wearable. He held a large jug with alcohol in it too and a piece of old bread with him. He had to seal the deal with everything and thus packed a small bag for around his hip. It held a basic weapon that could fool anyone. A dagger of small size.
Around the evening he finally got to the gates. ’ If rumors are true… Then it means the leaf is at its toes. But also… The number of people lost; need to be replaced in work too. Thus probably getting more people to work longer hours, getting less free or days off. This has been going on for a while… If they are like that; they often go to sprout stuff around. Maybe I can pry information off that way.’
At the gates, he was halted in his movements by one of the guards. “Ah- hello!” He took a southern accent and would stop. “Papers and reason of coming.” He sounded and Shion acted surprised. “Papers? Are such things needed to travel? Pardon me; I am not from a big city.” He would comment and surely he wasn’t let through. “Hm.. I am sorry; we cannot let you enter Leaf at the current time.”
“It ails me to hear that; may I ask what you mean with the current time.”
“There have been some things going on lately; mostly at the gates but it is quite an unease.” He was stopped from speaking by another one who joined. “We should not speak of that to someone who wishes to visit us. We do not wish to scare him away.”
“Ah- that is true…”
“Don’t worry, stories or not I will still have business inside. But may I ask as to what happened.?”
Shion tilted his head to look a lot more curious. “Erm… well..” The other guard started to shrug. “You see, there have been attacks on the gates, inside the village. which makes it a bit more troublesome to let people come and go as they please.”
“Ah- yea; then I can understand that.. Must be troublesome to stand on the gates now then?” He asked and looked rather worried for them. Even though this was acted and not his honest feelings, they thought it were. “It is indeed rather hard.. But luckily we have a few good sennin around and lot of capable shinobi.” It gave the guard a little bit of a morale boost.
“Sennin.. Shinobi?” Shion questioned and looked a bit baffled. “I think my little village lives under a rock. Who are the sennin right now then?” He questioned and would explain he remembered a certain person called Maki.
It appeared that that was wrong. “No no no, he used to be, but he is a retired person now. Good bloke took a hit too the head to much we think. Right now the Sennin are; Nanjirou Soku, Haku Yuki, Uchiha Takeshi, Sazuki Nao, and leading them all is our Hokage Uchiha Asuka.” A proud guard stood there, but the other guard seemed to be less happy. “They should have done more…” the less happy guard sounded under his breath; which shion easily heard but hide that. “Don’t be that grumpy!” said one guard to the other. “It is true! Soku got killed at first; Nao actually managed to save her. There is still a kid missing and on top fo that; we rarely see others! When was the last time you saw Yuki or-” “That is unfair to say! Who knows what they are doing? Remember Takeshi and yuki only recently returned from a mission.” “t-true…” the guard was taken back from that.
“So… I guess if you say that this Nao person is such a great healer… He must be a shinobi too?” Shion asked curiously and started to pour some sake from his jug and offer it. Now normally the guards never drank a sip… but these two did take it after looking around.
“Nao is an amazing Archsage who is a benevolent also. He runs an orphanage beside.”
“Don’t forget Soku who fought them off first! She is a top-class Nanjirou. She doesn’t have a special kinjutsu though…”
“Oh- but what about the unbeaten Takeshi? He is this amazing Hawkeye despite his name! “
“But also; he is a kensei! It works really strange so I heard.”
“Hoh- really? They really sound like amazing people!” Shion replied to the stories so far and started to make mental notes. He also poured them another and joined them in another one.
“You have Yuki; Takeshi’s wife. She lives up to her name and is a real Yuki; but her specialty is inside the fuyushio. and she is a jashinism… Creepy sometimes if you ask me; I heard she gave Nao a good beating..”
“But lastly; they never won a battle but prank queen Asuka. She ain’t a real Uchiha either; she is a real Naru and being damn good at penumbra… but the oddest one is. She is also a vessel called jinchuuriki.” And that was all Shion needed. He had 5 names and their abilities now.
Slowly more sake started to fill up the two guards and Shion was drinking them easily under the table at this point. “Haha-! Really? So that is what Asuka did on the day she got appointed for Hokage?!” Shion explained and heard from the guard that she had done a huge glitter fest at that time and day. “No… You are joking!” The guard started to joke back in regards to still finding the glitter in and around the place. “It really is a troublesome substance to remove and get it off everywhere.” They laughed and started to get quite late into their shift of them.
Shion talked a few hours with them and only after they denied him again; he would nod and take a farewell from the gates. He did not mind not getting through; those 2 guards were properly wasted on the sake and he had gotten his information and the ‘heroic deeds’ from lately.
Once he got home and the first thing he did. Was to wash his hair and his face. He would have to get the stuff out of his hair quickly before more people would make fun of him. Not to mention the make-up he was wearing right now that had to come off. Luckily this was easily done as he wasn't wearing any waterproof ones. “So glad I finally go this off now…” He was sluggish that was for sure, but he would soon write down all the information he had gained. He did it in the braille language which maybe made it harder for Nobu to read later. Especially since not, all the dots were 100% aligned to be the correct thing. “Maybe I had one too many with them… But they drank three-quarters of the jug… I don’t even have a fifth… They were so easy too… Guess they really are troubled in and around the place…” Shion muttered and started to get dressed. He still had to fill in at the casino after this mission. He would grab his fedora off the hook and started to make his way towards the Casino.
He was curious as to how the next group of guards was going to reply to the fact the two standing now were drunk to the boot.
