Satoshi could only release a pleased sigh as he moved past the village gates. It did result in receiving a boisterous pat on the back and a laugh from the Inazuka that had joined him on the mission they were returning from. Since it was so late already their team leader had decided that only she would report about the mission and that individual reports could wait till tomorrow.
With her going on ahead the nara would exchange a few more words before his other teammate and his dog finally split up to return to their own clan compound.
Now finally on his own Satoshi rolled his shoulder a bit before groaning as the action pulled slightly at the bruised muscle there. His appearance was over all somewhat disheveled showing clearly that it hadn’t been exactly a clear cut mission.
His usual shinobi attire had cuts and tears in some places and patches that appeared somewhat singed. There was also a bit of soot left in his hair so over all the nara really couldn’t wait to go home and get a shower.
He had just begun roof hopping when he sensed a familiar signature not too far from him. By now he was well aware of her problems with insomnia but usually she didn’t actually roam the village. After a few moments of mulling he twisted on his foot and changed directions.
He was already awake and close by so might as well check up on her and see if she wanted the company. Both of his teammates were troublesome in their own ways but he tried to butt in and aid in his own way where he could.
This would be one of these cases as he did worry about Suzume. While it would have been weird to either bring up the matter of her not getting enough sleep out of the blue too frequently or just knock on her door in the dead of night things had actually lined up tonight so Satoshi would take advantage of it.
After a few moments he would reach a roof top a bit ahead of the Hatake and would jump down from it and on to the road itself. Making his approach as obvious as he could to her and rising a hand in greeting Satoshi would call out.
"Yo. What a coincidence, fancy meeting you here Suzume.”Of course it was obvious it wasn’t a coincidence at all and she would probably know it as well. Still he sent a small lazy grin her way as he closed the distance and spoke.
"Nice weather we are having.”A really bad attempt at a joke and opening for a conversation but he couldn’t exactly open up with heavy topic or think of anything more interesting at the moment.
SA:
Kagura Shingan [Kagura Mind's Eye]
After exploring his innate sensory abilities and thanks to his perfect chakra control Satoshi was able to unlock the Kagura Shingan. This ability allows him to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometers. His able to achieve this effect by focusing and opening his mind's eye, though due to the low chakra cost Satoshi is able to keep it active passively at all times (Range is 15km) and increase the range even more with the use of the jutsu(25km). The ability also extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including him, is under a genjutsu. Also by focusing on a particular chakra, Satoshi can perceive its location and movement with great detail allowing him to track the movements of even those that are faster than him.
