The blade shines elegantly in the light, sharpened and cleaned. It looks like freshly forged unlike the hundreds of years it already faced this world of bloodshed. It glows gently filled with chakra but only visible for the right eyes. The building is filled with silence but he's aware of the quiet steps walking up and down on the outside.
The man leans over the katana and closes his eyes for a moment. The aching pain in his stomach has gotten worse than better of late. He wonders whenever he is doomed to face pain for the rest of his life or if his body signals that if he continues to live this way much longer again, that the body will assign and be done with it.
Nothing the other will know either. He always has been good to keep a straight face. 'If you walk there much longer the ground underneath you will break and I considered you to be an artist with water and not with the earth' he teases into the silence and stands up.
