[Takes place the evening of May 11, Yondaime Year 5, following Sound the Bells]
It was dusk fading into night when Raidou and his Intel escort finished the long, weary trudge up to the peak of the Hokage’s Monument. The first glitter of cold stars laced a bruised sky, and the air had a sharp bite after an unseasonably warm day. ANBU’s HQ crouched low and threatening behind the stony spikes of Sandaime’s hair, like a waiting predator.
Raidou attempted to divert his thoughts by wondering, not for the first time, whose bright idea it had been to carve giant heads into the mountainside of a secret village. And what Konoha would do when they ran out of room.
Raise a new mountain, probably.
“You should have enough time to clean up before they want you,” said his escort, with a significant look at Raidou’s travel-stained uniform.
( If they planned to throw him out, it didn’t make a damn bit of difference what he was wearing. ) |
