A New Ruler [Open]

Umiko watched as Myuto pulled out his village headband and tied it around his neck; she took this as an indication that he still wished to be a part of the village, that he still wished to be an active shinobi in it. His sister didn't seem to happy with the idea and left via diving into the ocean, which seemed to upset some of the younger male onlookers who had quite clearly enjoyed seeing the amount of skin she was showing off. Umiko just shook her head a bit and then focused back onto Same and Myuto.

Same seemed excited about Myuto's choice, and even mentioned wondering if he would be allowed to start his own training back up again. She returned his wave before watching him too leave back into the ocean.

Umiko popped another piece of fish out of her lunch box with her chopsticks while watching Myuto fit some sort of device to himself, and popped it into her mouth. She chewed while thinking, and then swallowed. "Hmm. You know, I could use some help delivering some letters if you're interested. To the other villages kage's that is. I wanted to inform them of what was going on, and about how I've taken charge of the village after the long absence of our previous kage. Interested?" Umiko would ask, removing not one but three sealed scrolled stamped with wax that had dried in the shape of her clan's seals. She wasn't expecting a verbal response, but if he chose to take them then she'd accept that as a yes. "You can visit for a while in each village if you want; I know things are a bit boring around here right now. Up to you, though.."

Travel. It was something he'd daydreamed of doing his whole life. He was born in the ocean, he was raised in the ocean, he WAS the ocean, but in the ocean he couldn't remain forever. The itch to travel around, set foot on solid ground for the first time, to see other shinobi and their styles... He'd never had a reason to leave the village before, and now he did.

Myuto put the strings of the Koto into each of the wooden rods used to connect the instrument, then put both rods onto his back in an X formation, holstered by a cloth on his back that bared his clan symbol while standing up. He took another long drink of water, taking the notes from Umiko and looking at the seals that had a symbol on them. Myuto knew better than to open them and read them. He put them in his pouch, which was water tight, meaning they wouldn't get wet while he was underwater.

Umiko, in so many words, told Myuto he could take his time since the village was slow going for now. His first official order from the new Kage of the village... Myuto, still with his plain expression, nodded his head and gave a thumbs-up to Umiko, before diving into the waters himself.
