Ka was pacing around the place his family called home trying his best to accept this much change that had happened in his life, and after spending most of the night contemplating what it was to to be a shinobi, and what it was to be the head of the jiko clan. Well more or less which one he wanted to be more. Sure being a shinobi with the ASN did have it's perks, readily available missions and equipment to those within it, but there were so many restrictions on what one could do within this faction. Perhaps it was time for Ka to seek out a new profession, one that wouldn't try and censor him for doing his job. Sure there were other factions in the world, the Shogunate were all about following blindly and never having your own thoughts, and act upon them. Epsilon was out of the question because they hated shinobi, let alone let one work for them so they were out. Pandora…. Ka never really knew too much information on the group, but what he has heard about them, that they were into some rather dark and extreme actions, and far too unpredictable. Which left him with just one choice, go missing and become a mercenary for hire. So with that decided Ka would pack up most of his belongings into his duffle bag along with the new outfit that Jazz's mother Jasmine had made for him upon his request.
After getting himself all packed up the Jiko heir would contemplate how he was going to get to madness, which only two options came to mind. Those were to either take a boat all the way to Madness, where the oceans teeming with bandits and pirates. His second choice and the one he would ultimately choose would be to take a boat to Anguish and walk along the boarder between Anguish and Graves, sure those two nations were owned and operated by the ASN but he was certain that he could handle whatever came his way. With that decided Ka would jump up and through the roof of his family’s home, thankfully not causing any damage due to using his phase release allowing him to pass through the structure without breaking anything.
Ka was soaring through the skies of the village with each jump, almost looking like Mario as he moved through the air. “Well I guess it's time to start a new life” He said to himself as he used his Glamour jutsu to alter his appearance to that of an elderly woman then transforming his massive sword into a walking stick just before making it to the docks within dipu. He purchased a ticket to Anguish and would board the vessel just moments before it would depart to it’s destination. Here's hoping that there wouldn't be any issues on this voyage, because he had matters to take care of, mainly changing his appearance for good. Sure Glamour and Transformation jutsu's were handy and all, but the last thing he needed was for his cover to be blown by an innocent bystander bumping into him. So he would lock the door to his cabin and would look himself in the mirror. First thing that had to change was his hair, long red hair wasn't exactly going to help him disappear. With that decision made Ka would grab a kunai from his pouch and slowly started to chop off his hair until it was about ear length.
He was instantly regretting the choice he made, but knew that it was for the best at this time. Now all he had to to was dye it somehow, but unfortunately for him there was no place to purchase any dye's on the boat, so he would have to handle that once he got to the mainland. By this time the boat had already been sailing for a few hours, morning had already come and was about to pass when Ka decided to leave his cabin and see if they had gotten any closer to their destination. Which to his surprise he was told that the ship would be arriving within the hour, what a delight to hear don't you think? Who would have thought that leaving the ASN would be so simple.. Then again the hard part was about to begin, getting to Madness was his goal after all, once getting there Ka could start his new life as a mercenary. This should grant him more opportunity to advance his skills and gain the legendary Matter Release, maybe then he could come back and take control of the Jiko. After just under a half hour of waiting with his belongings on the deck of the boat before the anxiety of going through customs after just up and leaving his home without permission from his superiors, he would be considered missing and imprisoned on the spot. So without thinking anymore about it he would leap off the deck with A rank strength, causing cataclysmic damage to the wooden vessel sinking it under the pressure of his jump. "Well I always did want to go out with a bang of sorts ha ha ha" Ka said with a chuckle as he landed on the water and continued running towards freedom.
