[Closed] Walking a thousand miles
Where: A Library in Earth
When: May 9th, Year 68 (AGS 1)
Notes: He wasn't the only one eying those specific scrolls it seemed. So was a girl named Tenten.
He didn't have his hitai-ate on, nor was he wearing anything that would really constitute as proper armor. Instead, he was dressed in a red shirt and a sand colored vest, his staff and a pack slung across his back. He had armor mesh under the shirt, but it wasn't visible, and he ambled instead of moving with the proper grace.
In all, he looked like a civilian curious about the library more than a shinobi coming to check it out. It wasn't as far off from Iwagakure as it could be, but he was pretty sure that it being tucked so far into the mountains meant that the village proper didn't fuss its security as much.
Then again... who wanted to brave those mountains?
He only had because he really wanted to check out this scroll he'd heard about and see what others actually made it out here. The last thing he expected was for some Konoha girl to have beaten him to it.
"Ah... excuse me?"

It was a concept that she knew intimately. And the idea of this stranger from a distant land would and did follow the same principle to improve himself as well - that he reached as far as he did because of it - was enough to give her smile a little sparkle. "I'm familiar with that idea, yes."

That ideal ever at the forefront of her mind, the kunoichi resumed her casual reading of the text, starting off a few lines further down in the manuscript than where he began.

Reading over the scroll and looking to her new companion, the kunoichi was confident in her decision, now, as she had been then. Taking yourself away from the danger did not save you from the aftermath. And at the very least, this way, she could ensure that no one would die needlessly under her vigilance.
Strange, how a moment of happenstance and coincidence would garner such a deeply rooted conversation with a complete stranger. And reawaken similar thoughts that had inspired Tenten to begin her career as a kunoichi of the Leaf.
Perhaps, she thought, fate was still weaving its mysteries. And as they resumed to share the knowledge in the scroll in perfect silence, Tenten could not help but feel curiously excited to see what it would unfold.
