Rawr-ness
The wooden ship swayed lightly in the waves as it continued its voyage across the water. It had been two days since they had set out from port towards the island. The ship itself was far from the most luxurious choices to get to the city, but it was by far the cheapest. Several steam powered ships had well passed them along the way, easily making a trip that took nearly 2 full days only take 1/4th of the time to arrive. It was far from luxerious on the vessel as well, having rather small cabins used by the crew of the ship to sleep in sharing 2 people into a single cabin. For the price though, it was a steel hitching a ride on a cargo ship.
Renai stood quietly with her arms crossed. Her long black hair flowed behind her with the wind as the ship traveled forward. It shouldn't be long before they should see land, the fog lingering in the air making it difficult to see too far ahead. She tapped her fingers against her arm a bit impatient after having been passed by several ships already along the way. She could tell one of which seemed to be carrying Shinobi from another village as it slipped by.
A bell could be heard as the fog seemed to thin out. An outline could be seen, towering quite high up in the air. As the ship cleared the fog it was clear to see what appeared to be a port area. Several ships were docked, with many more spots left open. It was clear that it wasn't a place where ships tended to remain for so long, being the private port of Namigakure located at the back side of the island.
The actual village itself could be seen almost surreal in its design.buiilt along a river. It was as if you were looking at two seperate worlds staring across from one another. to the right side as they approached the old part of the village remained very similiar to its traditional look from long ago. Much of the historic architecture was still intacted, much of it having been redone and refurbished. It was the location where the village Shinobi were focused upon.
On the opposite side the residential side existed. More modern looking places were built up retaining the use of the maintain in its design. At one point Koseki had used the village as a basis for its design, something that Hidden Wave took back in part to create the newer section of the town. Unlike Koseki, it seemed to of been built with far more care. The sight of smog was non existent.
:"Namigakure, the place where the two worlds meet. They really pride themselves on their past. Its said their village was built as the last safe haven as the world was ending around them. As technology got better and ships began sailing further, the village was quick to find itself becoming more then just a Shinobi village but also a port to connect foreign worlds to our own. They eventually did build a port city on the other side of the island, although they still do gain a good amount of tourists wanting to see an interesting site before heading over to the mainland. It's probably that reason more then any they are so dedicated to retaining the look of the old village as it had once been as much as possible."
The ship finally reached the docks, touching down. The crew were quick to act, securing the ship in place and preparing to work to unload the cargo they had on board. Renai turned around heading down to grab her things. She suspected they wouldn't want them on the ship for long and suspected the young Genin in particular would be quite interested in exploring the new city before them.
"We shall meet at the Academy in a few hours. It shouldn't be hard to find, they should have signs up to point towards its location. Make sure to stick together, and most of all try and not cause trouble." She spoke up looking sternly towards Seji who gave a confused look as she passed by.
Seji looked rather puzzled in response, scratching his chin looking a little lost before sligning his bag over his shoulder preparing to get off the ship.
