Seo noticed that they had been walking for a while had must have made some sort of progress to the village gates. Seo listed to shiso. She talks about how bad she is at being a leader but she was doing a very good job. She even made afraid of the sound village for a second.

"No your perfectly right I shouldn't take other villages lightly. I didn't know you felt so strongly about it but I will remember not to joke that way in the future."

Seo continued to walk behind them he knew they were getting close to the gate they had to be. "Are we there yet we have been walking for a while now?"

Kazin ran through the streets in a blind shock, still running at a full sprint. As he neared his house, he slowed down just a bit, and absentmindedly clenched his fists with anxiousness. He rounded the last corner and entered the Hyuga family compound.

As Kazin's eyes fell upon the compound, he dropped to his knees. A silent scream escaped his lips, as the silence stood loomed thickly in the air. He started to wobble and almost fell forward, catching himself with his arms to brace himself. His entire body started to tremble, and shake as if he was submerged in ice up to his neck. A few seconds later, a slight whimper escaped his lips. He didn't notice, as his mind was steal reeling from the littered corpses around the compound.

Kazin stood up and looked towards his house. His body had stopped shaking, and his mind had focused on one objective, to see if anyone had survived. He had only temporary gained control of his senses due to his complete overflow of adrenaline. He put himself together, and darted towards the house. As a second sense, he activated his ability to try to detect any life among the strewn bodies and furniture.

Byakugan

His heart dropped as he didn't see anyone's chakra network light up. Kazin slowed down, and slowly slid the main door open. His heart seemed to stop as he saw his parent's lifeless bodies lying on the ground in front of his. As he looked around his family's living room, he noticed that all of the object that were in the room bearing the Hyuga emblem was gone. Kazin hung his head low and stepped back outside.

Kazin's eyes widened as he realized that there was very little blood located on the scene. The only blood that he had spotted was the blood that had been painted on the forehead of those who didn't already possess the branch family curse sign. Automatically, his thoughts steered towards the head family. He just didn't understand why they would attack his family. Although his father left in the middle of Kazin's curse ritual, he wasn't aggressive whenever they moved.

Kazin's emotions finally caught up to him as his knees buckled and he fell to the ground on his knees. His stomach churned, and Kazin threw up. His nerves were shocked, and he no longer felt the adrenaline coursing through his veins as it had before. His Byakugan deactivated itself, and Kazin started to feel weak. Tears started to pour from his eyes as he continued to heave. He couldn't continue to keep acting tough as all of the realization had truly revealed itself., so he continued to sob uncontrollably.

Kazin didn't realize Tsukiko had followed him here. This was dangerous considering the situation. He knew she was right, but his heart was feeling as though a fifty pound weight had been chained to it. Kazin wiped his mouth off, and his tears away from his eyes. He stood up, but his head continued to hang low. He nodded, and without saying a word started to slowly walk in the direction of the Kage's office.

Kazin's focus and nerves were shot. As he walked, he knew where he was going, but he felt out of his body. He felt that this was all an illusion, and that he would snap out of it at any moment. The world seemed like a blur around him. He continued to mindlessly walk towards the Raikage's office, almost lifeless, and jaded.

Kazin let Tsukiko keep her hand on his back. Although he was skeptical most of the time with others emotions, any comfort now was openly accepted. His life had been shattered, and he had no idea where to turn. He had no one really to comfort him, and was a little glad that his new teammate was willing to take him in. Tears were still flowing, but much slower now. His stomach was still sloshing, but he couldn't vomit due to the fact that he had nothing in his stomach.

As he walked, Kazin began to lose all emotion. The reality of the situation had slowly became too much for his brain to handle, so he just stared ahead at the ground as he walked. Being devoid of all emotion, his head was now clear. His main goal right now was to talk to the Kage and to figure everything out. Something was seriously wrong as the facts stood that someone had successfully entered the cloud village, killed most of the remaining branch family Hyuga, and no one had noticed. This deeply affected Kazin, as no one had known to stop them. He of course was going to get to the bottom of this. He had vowed to himself to resist vengeance towards the head family, so he didn't want to go that path, but retribution was necessary where it was due. If, the head family was responsible, then they had to pay, legally or physically, but not by his hand. Staining his hand with their blood would dishonor his family.

"Thanks Tsukiko, I appreciate the comfort. All I care about right now is talking to the Kage. I already have heavy assumptions, but I will not lay the blame until I rightfully know who commuted such an act." Kazin said, as his face met a stern glare ahead.

He stood up straight, and increased his pace. He knew that being a ninja, he couldn't let his personal feelings get in the way. He would feel the emotions, but crying wouldn't help him right now. He hated himself for thinking like this, but any other way, and he would start acting irrational. His fists were clenched, and it almost felt like his curse mark was burning from the intensity of his thoughts. His mind slowly started to fill gain with all of his intense thoughts about the situation. What if he had been there, or what if the village had known?

"We've got to hurry, this needs to be solved immediately. Not just for my sake, but the sake of justice. I will find out who did this, and I will bring them to justice one way or the other." Kazin said, his eyes now adopting more of a fire about them.

Kazin sighed as he walked. he knew she was right, but he didn't want to succumb to his emotions right now. His best bet was to keep his emotions packed away until he found something out, or else he wouldn't get anything done.

"Listen Tsukiko, I deeply appreciate the comforting words, but right now I need strength, not emotions. If I break down now, the perpetrator will never be drawn to justice,' Kazin replied in a toneless voice. But really, thank you.

Kazin advanced towards the Raikage's office along with Tsukiko and her companion.

Kazin nodded at Tsukiko's comment, and followed closely behind her. He hadn't been to this part of the housing district, so he was a little wary. He had cooled off a bit, and was ready to fulfill his mission to bring the main family to justice. He was curious as to what her house looked like, and was slightly worried.

Kazin was claustrophobic, such was the reason for the large compound. He usually reacted to such spaces by leaving them or "making" them bigger. He just hoped it was large enough as to not trigger his fear.
