There it stood. The phoenix gate loomed ahead if Shinzo as he appeared before the entry way to Konoha. It had been quite some time since the boy had been home and many a thing had changed since his departure. The newly acquired forehead protector that he wore gleamed in the light of the fire country sun, though the trees of the surrounding pathway would occasionally shade the boy as he strode towards the gate.
A sigh of relief escaped his lips as the distance between himself and his home grew shorter by the second. All he had to do now was to present his papers and with any luck he’s be let in without a problem. Although the boy stood alone his body language was that of confidence, the journey hadn’t been a problem at all which served to further the boy’s belief that he was ready for the mantle that was freshly bestowed upon him.
He cleared his throat before stepping forwards to the gate. “Deguchi Shinzo requesting entry.”
