I was jumping through the forest and suddenly sights of an up ahead village started to become more clear as I approached it. I grew closer to it hoping it was the village Mari might have fled to. I walked to the gates of it slowly, and read the sign out loud to myself. The guards to it seemed to be nowhere in sight.
"Hm, Hidden Crater Village. This is a new one, and the guards seem to be nowhere in sight. Eh, whatever it wasn't like I was planning on doing anything malicious here anyway." And so I walked onward into the village of crater, gradually recalling the breath that was lost from so much movement as well as the many fatiguing fights I faced on the way here. It was a wonder my body was not in tatters.
I began to look around while walking through the streets. It was mostly desolate from my point of view, and I wondered what this village what descended from. What was its lineage? I couldn't seem to figure that out. Could it possibly be the stone village? Stones are parts of the ground in a way, and craters are as well, I think they may have some rock jutsu they do here. If I see a ninja battle, that will confirm it of course. I walked the streets, and wondered if I could find Mari.
"Hm, I wonder where she could be. I hope she is here, after all I did trace her chakra signature to this village, I'm certain. Now if only~" Walking the streets, my light footfalls suddenly had come to a silence. There someone following me, I didn't know what or who, all I knew is that it was a being with a chakra system. Possibly a strong one of what you may consider. I remained still in the panic and distress the situation was dealing me, and suppressed my panicky emotions to a serene nature.
'Remain calm.. and unmoved.. do not show fear, and you shall be fine...'
