Here I Go Again (exit)

It was pouring down rain as Akki Senju headed to the gates of Hoshigakure! It was time to leave and head to the village she was transferring to. None other than home to the rest of her group, Kirigakure. At least it's a village aligned with Hoshigakure. She paused at the gates as she made sure her paperwork was tucked away!

(Timer starts now 4:35 pm)

Ayato stood tall at the gates of Hoshigakure, rain cascading from the darkened skies and drumming softly against the village’s towering walls. Draped in the mantle of the Hogokage, his presence remained commanding, the water slicking his hair and cloak but doing little to dampen his quiet authority. The usual rhythm of the guard rotations continued, though the downpour lent a somber weight to the evening. As he surveyed the scene, a familiar figure approached through the misty veil of rain. Akki Senju moved with purpose, her steps splashing in shallow puddles, yet her expression carried a subtle finality. Ayato had known this moment was coming; whispers of her departure had already reached him.

"Good to see you, Akki," Ayato greeted, his voice steady yet softened by the patter of rain around them. Water trailed down his face as he met her gaze, his usually sharp demeanor tempered by the moment's gravity. "It seems your time in Hoshi has come to an end. I trust the village—and the care we provided—served you well while you were here." From within his cloak, he produced the scroll marking her temporary service. Now damp from the rain, the paper seemed to mirror the fleeting nature of her time in the village. With a smooth motion, he revoked the decree, his fingers lingering for a moment before he spoke again. "I hope your path ahead is clear and leads you to the family you’re searching for. Safe travels, Akki." He stepped back, his figure unwavering in the downpour as he watched her turn and walk away. The rain blurred her silhouette as it merged with the horizon, leaving a quiet void in the place she had briefly called home.

"I'll miss you guys Ayato, this place was home to me for a while. I'll visit, I promise!" Akki thanked Ayato as she took the papers then hugged him goodbye before she left and then exited the gates.
