Many bowed, however Shouken stood tall and realized the lack of loyalty of the Leaf. His gaze was fixed on Ayame then shifted to that of the crowd, where he found many of his friends and colleagues bowing to their new leader. [color=mediumslateblue][i]A kage is murdered and people just...[/i][/color] He couldn't even describe his emotions towards the situation, he only knew that it infuriated him. Biting back his anger, Shouken soon came to the conclusion that his role as a Hidden Leaf Shinobi had halted. He would not stay another second in this village and swore on it. After coming up with this, his stare had caught sight of his father, who was near the back of the crowd, bowing. His anger had found it's way back and Shouken clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He knew his father was only trying to survive, but this was too far. [color=mediumslateblue][i]I'll be back Leaf...Father...[/i][/color] He had had enough disappointment and began retreating to the Southern Village Exit. His plan was to return to the sand and hopefully find Kumo. He was the one that first taught Shouken to use his water abilities and was one of Danguu's best friends, despite him not being a ninja. Tales from Suna say he was one of the most powerful ninja of the time in his youth. Shouken would exploit this and become strong enough to get to the bottom of what happened.
