The Grass around the Leaves

[Ryoji-kun]

Miyori's disembodied figure flew through the air continuing on until it reached the the Kage Monument, a stone monument with the engraved faces of past Hokage engraved upon the mountain's surface. His figure reforming in a haze of black feathers and smoke until he stood atop the figure of the third Hokage's head. From here Miyori could see many of Konaha's invaders traveling the streets and rooftops of the village.

Despite his advantage of being able to spot the Grass Shinobi, Miyori's attention wasn't concerned with them. What had caught his attention was the fact that he was being tailed, or at least had been. Sitting down on the very edge of the monument's head Miyori would look out over the village and watch from afar as many of the Leaf's inhabitants took up arms to defend their home. Although he was expected to do the same, Miyori felt he had no obligation to protect this village.

A small explosion from somewhere below would trigger, snapping Miyori from his thoughts. looking out over the village he was reminded of how much different Amegakure was in comparison. How he missed the constant fall of the rain, the steel skyscrapers, the cool air. here it was warm, dry, and unnatural. Turning his attention back onto his pursuer Miyori sat and waited.

Watching her students from the shadows of trees Mayuri placed her book into her tool pouch and sighed. What was this day coming to now. A random assault on the Leaf by the Grass? It was like a weird ironic metaphor or story book. With her hand still in her tool pouch she pulled out a single kunai before disappearing and reappearing next to a guy that seemed to be a Leaf Chuunin she had never met via Leaf Style Body Flicker. Not wanting to waste time with introductions, Mayuri spun the kunai around her index finger and turned to the new face.

"Any idea what's going on?"
