Nothing ever happened around here anymore. Konoha had just become so...quiet. After such a long phase of tension between the akatsuki, no one really left their homes much. Kazuki still needed a squad, after being taken off his other squad when he was knocked out for a month. He sat down on the grassy ground below him, and lay back. The sky was pretty today. The purple-blue expanse stared at him, throwing down a fluffy white cloud every now and then. Since it was quite early, he could still see the moon, on the opposite side of the sky to the sun. He took a piece of bread out of his food pouch, and tore a chunk off with his mouth. He chewed it absently, enjoying the taste of freshly baked bread. When dawn was over, he would have to finish his training session and do some theory work.
Rolling over onto his side, he laid his head on his arm, and listened to the sounds around him. The grounds were full of birdsong. The sweet melody filled his head, and alleviated soe of his unhappiness. He could hear a stream in the background that a doe drank from. If he focused really hard, he could hear people, even further in the background, waking up from their troubled sleep, looking out of their windows to make sure the village was the same as yesterday, uninhabited by the terrifying Akatsuki.
He went over to the shade of a tree near him, and sat up, resting his back against the trunk. He was just outside the sparring grounds, in a small grove where he trained. It was so far from the village, he felt disconnected from the world and surrounded by trees, He had taken off his scrolls and his mounted weapons to lie down, and now began to put them back on methodically, fitting them into the correct straps of his belt. He stood up, and walked over to the stream he had heard the doe drinking from for a drink. Instead of finding a terrified deer, he saw a person. Seeing the glint of forehead protector, Kazuki stood back. "Hello," he greeted them. "Do you want a spar?"
