❧ || Entrance: Konohagakure Great Gates [ Open ]

[kahn oyama]

Jurei entered the checkpoint and conversed with the ANBU about suspicious activity. Receiving an abrupt no Jurei continued on to his final spot.

Carrot arrived at the first gate she'd entered only a few days or so before and took a deep breath, anger making itself clear on her face. She could hardly contain her emotions as she handed her exit papers to the Anbu, her hands shaking. Shigeru's reaction to her insistence that they move on had enraged her. She understood the happiness he probably felt at meeting someone related to him but If his blood family is more important than the village and people who raised him as family, he can shove it all. Stay here for all I care! He doesn't see how wonderful Snow is, caring for him. He obviously doesn't care for anything else than finding his proper place in this world. Obviously doesn't realize he already has a place! Carrot snapped her papers back waspishly "He's an idiot! Stay here for all I care! See if it hurts anyone!" she wiped harshly at her eyes as tears formed. Shigeru had already become a close friend, a brotherly figure, and he pulls s**t like that. Glaring at her like she had suddenly destroyed his family "Be your own family, Shigeru. Have fun with it!"She said to the air, the Anbu staring at her in shock. With that said she took off, not bothering to wait for him to catch up and see her crying. She didn't want him to see her acting her age for once.

As she neared the village Jae was surprised to note that there was a preliminary checkpoint before reaching the gates. She mused over the idea of such security but did not say anything aloud, smiling brightly as she was asked to present her passport. Pulling out her documents that she had on her at all times, she handed it over to one of the two ANBU who stood before her. Although she could not physically see him staring at her papers, she knew he was reading it carefully and checking it in case it was a fraud. Once he was satisfied in it's authenticity, he handed it back to her, Jae taking it back with a befuddled expression. How odd... She was sure she would have had to state her reasons for coming here. Leaf must have been a very popular place for travelers destinations. As soon as she was free to move on, Jae continued her walk, her body feeling a little more weary now as she drew closer to the village. Her hopes were not held up too high. There was no reason for her to be accepted here but she had to try.

Once Noel came to the next gate, he wasn't held back as long as he did when he was entering the village. It seemed the ANBU weren't as annoying when they were to let you out of the village but then again, Noel did bear the crest of Konoha on his arm... at least for now. Like before, they waited until Noel was mere inches from the gates before opening it just enough for the child to be permitted to leave. Which Noel did a little hop on his good leg to depart from the gates as he took a deep breath once the smell of freedom hit his nostrils. The sky was the limit to where he could go

Carrot scowled at the Anbu guards who stared at her like she was an idiot "Yes! I'm back. I'm looking for my friend." she snapped and they gave her the passport back warily, not willing to test a grumpy Snow shinobi. Carrot raced to the second check stop, hoping she would be able to find Shigeru quickly.
((Exit: Second Stop))  

[Mordred Killian]

After leaving the village through the gates, Shigeru began to speed up. His legs were the strongest and most developed parts of his body. After a second, he was already leaving the village behind in the distance. Shigeru kept his arms out behind him for balance as he darted down the road. As he picked up speed, Shige crossed his arms and kept them close to his chest in order to become more aerodynamic. He leaned forward in a way that would cause a person standing still to fall over. Shige's legs began to blur under him as a cloud of dust was left behind. Only going faster could relieve him from his grief.  

[astrasinthewild]

Carrot was slower on her exit, watching Shigeru pull away before she started to run. She was still crying but wasn't bothering to hid her tears now.  

[Mordred Killian]

After a lengthy voyage, the large cargo ship was nearing land. The land of Fire's large docks were just ahead and the crew on land was preparing to unload the ship. A loud horn sounded, deep and low. Shigeru came up from the lower levels along with many other hurrying crew members. He sighted Nakura but forced his eyes ahead as he walked up the stairs to the railing of the ship. They were slowing down now as the ship was maneuvered into the dock. After they stopped moving completely, a large crane hovered over the ship's midsection in order to take the large containers from it's deck. Shigeru turned to Nakura to beckon their departure.  

[Misujage]

She noticed the diverted gaze of Shigeru and figured it fine. Whatever reason he had for speaking wasn't important. As long as it didn't interfere with the short mission they were taxed with she would let it go. As the cranes began their tedious work so did the crew. Letting the ramp go and rest atop the docks. Nakura took a preemptive chance to scale it and back down to level ground. Her eyes did not look for Shigeru, but she was certain that he followed behind. He had a strong sense of duty after all.  

[Mordred Killian]

Shigeru followed closely behind Nakura before he was beside her. The two Snow shinobi approached the exit of the loading docks only to be confronted by Leaf guards. Shigeru looked to Nakura, hoping that the process of entry could be swift with her help. He also hoped to enter the village with no commotion in order to catch Jae off guard. Knowing her, she would try and keep away from them in her run from the village. As Shige waited for passage through the checkpoint, he thought about the places she would go in Konoha.  

[Misujage]

The initial stop within Leaf was nothing more than formalities. A permit was all she needed to show, one for each of them. It listed their names and places of origin. Each with an insignia of the Snow Kage upon it, one much similar to the symbol of a one Akira who maintained residence within this Village. "Come along Shigeru ..." She uttered without looking back, her feet carrying her within. The guards would notify the others of who was coming. Though, no doubt, another security check would be done.

[Mordred Killian]

Shigeru was quick to follow Nakura as she began to move again. His hopes had been rightfully placed for his Jounin comrade had prepared for their entry. Shigeru had not made so much as a single provision. Realizing this, Shige found it strange to have acted so impulsively. It was not a good sign for him.  

[Count-Swagula]

Rinnosuke packed sake for himself. He skipped off out of the village. Not before being stopped by the guards and getting directed where to go. Along with directions. Rinnosuke was given directions and everything to get to his exams. He nodded to the guards and made his way out. He heard a faint voice in the distance that said. "God, I hope that fool makes it out of the village without drowning in vomit."
