Snippet #1074877

So...this is the Land of the Bears. Jin thinks as he wanders around, wearing his everyday clothes. His ANBU outfit is, for the moment, stowed away in his pack, and aside from the sword at his side, tonfa at his back, and his headband, he really looks nothing like a ninja. As he walks he shoves his hands into his pockets and continues to think things over, We have to all meet here, in the Land of the Bears, then travel to it's Hidden Village before venturing on to the Land of Lighting itself, where the grand conflict will take place... Other might be wondering why they would have to meet outside of the Land of Lighting, but that would only be because they had no idea what Gyaku was like, or how he thought.

Over the years since the Chuunin Exams, Jin has been training and moving up in rankings so that he has more access to information reguarding the Uragiri. Ever since that day, years ago, he has been after Gyaku's head, and has always been just one step behind him, until now. Now he and a team composed of highly skilled shinobi would be entering the Land of Lighting, their mission, ultimately, to destroy this man and his organization. At least, that's how Jin thought of it all. That, and the fact that it would be good to see Roku once again. The two hadn't been able to speak in years, a combination of the cause being that he was now a member of ANBU and Roku was the new Raikage, so both were busy all the time.

With a sigh Jin decides he might as well grab a bite to eat, and so he enters a small local resturant and takes a seat at the bar next to a man who looks somewhat like a samurai, with long brown hair and a katana at his side. The man turns and gives Jin a smile, revealing a Leaf headband. "So," the man asks, "You a ninja too?" before Jin could answer the man reaches out and shakes his hand. "The name's Senju Koji, of Konoha. Nice to meet you."

"Yamamoto Jin, Iwa." Jin says, a little dubious of the man. Over the years he has grown in a way that he doesn't trust people at face value, and the fact that this one claims to be a member of the Senju clan, which died out years ago, makes him even less trusting. "If you're from Konoha, that means you're here on a mission as well. You..." He trails off, not sure if he wants to know if this man is on his team now or not, so instead of asking he orders something to eat and remains quiet, laying his tonfa on the counter beside him.
