Having gathered all of his stuff Akio would sigh looking back at the house of his Sensei. While he had gladly called it home since he had been welcomed in by his deceased Sensei. Although he knew better than to stay around Kiri and was ready to leave it all behind. Rei was missing and the new Mizukage had been inactive compared to what he should be doing after such a devastating turn of events. The young shinobi would be wearing his armor with any sign of his origins discarded as he would use the forest to cover his escape from the village.
Making his way to the shore he would follow it until reaching a remote village, paying a local fisher a large sum for a trip to the other lands. Arriving on the shores of the Land of Fire before telling the fisher goodbye. Akio was careful, trying not to leave any holes in his story as he wrapped a scarf around his neck and bottom portion of his face. This along with a tunic world go well with his clay armor as he would travel the rest of his journey by foot. He knew it would be a long walk do to him having landed on a remote jungle just on the shore of the country, far from any village.
