With any luck, this would go off without a hitch.
It had been thousands of years since the God had wandered the earth; thousands of years since he had actually bothered to check up on humanity. But this was the land of the Kami, with their orderly rites and ways of doing things. Their focus on the past, and their rigid ways of dealing with each other was something that the old god could appreciate.
Still, wandering around in the human world was not something gods often did. Since he could not appear in all his splendor, an avatar had to suffice. As such, he took the form of a young, dark-skinned man in what appeared to be noble regalia. After all, just because he was taking human form, did not mean that he simply disregarded good judgment.
He did not know what village he was in, as this place was not exactly one that was within his sphere of influence. Still, it looked like a rather nice vacation spot.
Suddenly, he was alerted to movement behind him; he could sense the chakra that these people had within them, and he knew when he was being followed. As such, he paused, turning his head to get a better look at the one that was behind him.
"Good afternoon my lady; is there something that I can help you with?"
