She'd never walked this far in one day. She'd never walked this far in her entire life. After days of searching, unwilling to give up, Fū is still determined to seek answers. In her mind, there was no better person to seek them from than one of The Legendary Sannin.
Years of isolated reading in the Takigakure archives and eavesdropping on the Jōnin, who often talked as if she weren't there, the conclusion at which Fū had arrived was this: if anyone had the power to undo her trappings, it would be Orochimaru.
Since sun-up, Fū had trekked through open grassland and into the forests of Otogakure at the far border of The Land of Fire, harnessing as much energy as she can to attune her senses. Having not made his acquaintance before, she knew such an undertaking would be difficult but she hadn't expected it to take her so long. Still, Fū doesn't relent.
Even though the sun now slips past the horizon, her worn soles march on through the forest between brief use of the wings at her back. Moving in the dark, she does eventually stumble upon what looks to be a shadow on the trail ahead.
"Hello?" she calls out, her eyes straining against the blue light of dusk to discern the figure ahead of her on the forgotten footpath.
