Ika cracked his aching neck as he began to loosen up after riding a train through Bogota on a tour train as he watched the guards turn and he Shunpo'd into the jungle.He hit the ground running as he grabbed his Zanpokuto as a tree fell over in front of him and he cut through it and kicked forwards to move it as he planted on a piece as it fell with his hand and did a front hand stand and flipped into a tree and positioned the jump where he pushed off to the next tree which pointed forwards so he Shunpo'd forwards.He arrived in the middle of the jungle and near by sat the river where he washed himself away,funny,everyone always thought he'd wash himself away in booze.He rarely touched them.He hopped forward slowly at a slow pace once he saw this and when he got there he touched the water with his hand slowly,memories flashed through his head,he closed his eyes as rain fell down concealing the one tear his face held as it slowly dripped down his cheek.It plopped to the mood as he stood looking emotionally unfazed.
He had not smoked that day so he immediately grabbed a knife and cut into his palm as a vow of sorts from when he was younger and as he watched the blood trickle off his hand and onto the ground he stood and simply watched.This was nothing new,hell,this was what his life basically was since birth,pain,blood, and suffering,and lots of it.He ran up a tree and marked the bark with his hand mid Shunpo with his name then kicked off of it sending it tumbling to the ground,shit got real as an Anaconda popped out and bit at his neck and he quickly cut its head off and Shunpo'd above to cut off 3 tree branches.As they fell he hopped up each of them quickly and landed on top of another tree.He did this several times till he could see the whole entire jungle from atop the largest tree surrounding him,its peak seemingly stretching above the clouds,daring them to try and come lower so it could touch them.This reminded Ika of what was his power struggle,always trying to be stronger though he dealt with a seemingly predetermined limit.He had not gotten stronger by any large amount since full Hollowification.He wanted to be stronger,faster,smarter and he wanted this now not 1000 years in the future.He wanted to be able to do as he damn well pleased without fear of others intrusions and this enough coupled with his pride and will were plenty enough to motivate him.
He went down to the lake and splashed water on his face to wake him up,fucking night terrors were a bitch.He sat down along the creek and meditated,pondered why he SHOULD grow stronger rather than why he WANTED to grow stronger,he needed incentive beyond his own selfish needs,that was his ideal anyway.He cracked his neck slowly as he began to sit and think,a floating cloud came to mind immediately but he couldn't put it all together in his head,he wished he were a cloud.that would make life so much easier for him.He sighed as he looked up and suddenly a tree fell,what in gods name... he wondered as he Shunpo'd away and saw the slash marks,this wasn't done by an animal.He looked about and tracked down a rogue Adjuchas terrorizing the area and making short work of everything there,Ika sighed and Shunpo'd to it for a birthday gift delivery.He Shunpo'd over and cut its chest open and as it squealed he threw his Hollow mask on and drilled its face sending it head over heals to the ground.As it hit and he watched as it faded t0 dust and nothingness."Pitiful" Ika mumbled as he scratched his head and fell to the ground for sleep.
