As productive as training was, it felt good to just get away from it and run around the village every once in a while. The quiet and seclusion was relaxing, especially when other people got to her too much - and being at home in the forests of Konoha, the teenager felt no need to keep her guard up beyond basic instinct.

A flash of unfamiliar clothing caught her eye through the lush green trees and she stopped, using her chakra to hold herself to the branch she stood on in order to halt her momentum before she took a look around. Huh, that man... She saw him in passing before. He was one of the Mizukage's guard, wasn't he? Normally, seeing a foreign ninja on his own would be at least a little cause for alarm, but here...

She jumped down some distance away, careful to watch for any hostile reactions but otherwise trying to show that she wasn't intending to fight with him, her own eyes softening as she glanced at the flower he was about to touch.
