Chapter 70 - the flickering light

After my outburst of rage on the mist village shinobi that confronted me I began to lose myself, was a murderer all i was now? Was i becoming just like those that tore the people I loved away from me? I decided to lay low for a while before searching the mist village for answers about butcher, if some common thugs bothering me ended in a blood bath there was no telling what confrontation with the law enforcement of the mist would lead to.

After several hours of wandering through the forest that connected the training mountain and the mist village (i never realized just how far from home we were trained at for those three years) i found a secluded clearing that i decided to make my base of operations while i got my emotions in check. I doubt anyone will find me this deep in the woods, the only issue will be finding my way out, I'll just have to work on honing my censory jutsu while im here.

A few hours pass and ive finished setting up my base. the biggest issue for me will be food, catching it will be easy, but cooking it may be tricky, I can do fire type jutsu just fine the problem is the smoke, i dont particularly want my location to be broadcast to everyone in the surrounding area as i just killed 11 people from the village closest to me. Ill have to internally heat whatever i catch, that'll just take a little extra effort on my part. Other than that i should be set, most of the base is cleared out for training and mediation purposes, although meditation is what ill focus on to keep my emotions under control.

I sit down in whats more or less the center of my camp, closing my eyes i concentrate, i concentrate on the fight that happened not even 24 hours ago that ended in me being here. Images flash before my eyes, the corpses of all of my friends that have been slain are burned into the back of my eyelids, ive seen them every night since the attack. All of them laying there lifeless as im powerless to do nothing more than watch, but now is different, this time i see the corpses of the 11 men i slaughtered, this new gruesome sight makes me open my eyes quickly, only when i open them im no longer at my camp.

~authors note~

Hi its me the author, sorry for the short chapter and also sorry for no chapters in 5 months i kinda forgot the series even existed.

Hoping to try and be consistent with uploading chapters but i say that all the time and never do so bear with me.

Now that the story is back to rōgan it should be much more interesting (not to say the other stuff wasnt interesting) and hopefully the stuff im setting up and have been will get to pay off soon, thanks for reading.
