Naomi hadn’t cared much for her surroundings as she listened to the world around her. It wasn’t something she did out of interest, instead it was a habit of hers that she tended to do whenever she was bored: what better way to ignore something than to listen to the heartbeat of the life around you? She had continued to silently listen to what happened around her until her peace was disturbed by the idiot Yamato who hadn’t even replied to her text that she had put so much time into typing.
“Yo, idiot, Daiki just got in my face.”
His voice penetrated the background noise and made her mind focus on it easily, however she didn’t react to his comment and instead just enjoyed the moment – after all she knew that Yamato wouldn’t be annoyed by her silence. They sat like this for a short time, both of them just sitting next to each other without uttering a word and instead just watching the world pass by. It was a common behavior for the two and neither of them had seemed to care much about the silence that sometimes existed between them. However, it still bugged her that he hadn’t taken the time to reply to her message – how hard could it have been after all? She turned her attention to the person sitting next to her, but before she could open her mouth and speak the words that was on her mind they got interrupted.
"How about a friendly spar," A voice spoke out in front of them, a voice that after a quick glance Naomi confirmed belonged to Daiki. While her facial expression didn’t say anything, her inner thoughts were filled with annoyance and wonder: who would want to have a spar at a time like this? But of course she was wrong, apparently some would…
“Don't worry about the party being ruined..” Yamato spoke out as he got up from the bench next to her. Naomi was motioning to say something, but was stopped once again, this time by herself. She knew it wouldn’t matter much, Yamato was clearly going to fight and there was never anything she could do about that when he had that look in his eyes. Instead she simple leaned back against the wall and settled in for the upcoming match.
It wasn’t anything too exciting to write home about as the match had barely started before it was closed down by their fellow party-members. It seemed that she was not, in fact, the only one wondering why anyone would fight at a place like this – after all if they actually wanted to have a proper fight, why not do it in an official arena or somewhere private where no one would interfere with the fight?
As she sat and pondered over the idiocy of the fight, even after it had been canceled, Yamato had walked back to her and began speaking to her: “I'm gonna go home. I'll hang out with Reihana. Feel free to come, or stay here. Not much fun to stay here though.”
A small smile found its way onto Naomi’s face. She couldn’t agree more: this place really was just filled with idiots and it wasn’t much fun either. However before he would let her open her mouth Yamato had begun his trip home, leaving Naomi behind. She wasn’t sure what she was going to do, after all the reason why she had even showed up had just left. She could take up his offer to tag along, but she could also just head home – ‘luckily’ for her she didn’t have to make a decisions because a scream pierced the darkness of the night. Most of the Chuunin reacted as they were trained to do: they began to diverge towards the same location. Naomi had a similar response: she got up from the bench she had been sitting on all this time and quickly followed the lead of the others, however she did not end up in the same spot as the others. Instead she had decided to take to the trees high above the grounds as it gave her a better overview of what was around her. As she others converged at the same spot Naomi wasn't far behind, she came to a stop on a tree-branch that was thick enough to support her weight and began to analyze what had happened: it appeared to be a scene from a rather brutal fight: bodies lay in a pool of their mixed blood, they had been slain quickly and effectively it would appear – clearly the work of a professional. However what had drawn the attention of the other Chuunin was the body of a young girl with multiple kunais stabbed into her small frame and a grotesque longsword pierced through her body. It was clear that she had been the sole survivor, but it was just as easily clear to Naomi that she wouldn’t survive much longer. She had seen too many similar situations to know the outcome of what had happened.
Despite the horror that lay on the grounds in front of her, Naomi’s expression didn’t waver once: she kept a neutral facial-expression while her sharp eyes gathered all the analytical data she could with an ice cold gaze that pierced every detail she could: she might have looked too distanced from whole situation as if she had seen this before.
It was at this point that ‘The Sewstress appeared. She quickly took over the situation and ordered everyone to go home. While most chuunin might have wanted to show off their skills, Naomi didn’t: she was used to following the commands of her superiors so instead of wasting any more time she quickly used Body Flicker to disappear, leaving only the few leaves behind as trace of her existence as they fell towards the blood soaked soil below.
The next day Naomi was once again disrupted during her daily training by the sound of her phone ringing. It was a message from Aoi telling her to show up at a meeting – likely because of the events of last night, though you never knew with Aoi. Grumbling a bit Naomi slowly collected her stuff and began to prepare to go out. It was truly an annoyance to have a phone: it constantly interrupted you when you were busy and often for reasons that were so unimportant that it became nothing but a nuisance to have it on her.
Despite this she still followed ‘orders’ and before she got out of the house she picked up her usual jacket and headed towards the meeting spot in the Downtown part of Konoha.
Naturally she wasn’t surprised that when she showed up the others were already in full spirit: Ayame was on his way to devouring enough food to supply a small village, Panaeru looked like he had just been tossed through the air as his hair fell in a mess of threads from his head. She spotted Haruka sitting on a nearby couch and Aoi – the disturber of peace and quiet, Jaakuna and Daiko were the only people that seemed to be talkative this morning. As usual Yamato was acting like he was bored out of his mind.
Naomi made her presence clear with a simple “Good day” before she made her way over to Yamato at the outer edge of the hangout. She turned her front towards the others before she casually spoke.
“So,” she started out in a bored tone, “any idea of why we are here?”
