It had been a good while since Mort had come to the Raikage's Building, the last time being him learning the proper fighting style for his Soaring Swords, but even then it was somber. This time was no different, as while he made his way in, he spotted the area he, Tamwyn, and Ryuko dueled again.
It hurt. It would be so much easier to let Id take over for this. But he had to do this.
Making his way up to the clerk, he'd present his Shinobi Id and that he was here to claim the rest of the basic Chunin techniques that Ryuko had started to teach him, but never was able to finish. He'd even make sure to include request the knowledge of Flame Beheading as while he couldn't use Katon, he figured that he could make a derivative that could let him use Futon instead once he understood the proper mechanics of the jutsu. Maybe.
As he waited for the clerk to bring him copies of the scrolls, his mind drifted back to that duel. Always that duel. How innocent he was back then, he had assumed that his team would last for years before splitting off to do their own thing. But it hadn't gone that way. El quickly got sick and was considered dead by hospital standards. Tamwyn got himself killed by the very thing Mort was there to save him from. And Ryuko was nowhere to be seen, presumed dead after no sign of her return, the only thing remaining being her charm of which he carried. Only now that he was back in Kumogakure after his crusade to end the Kurama's Epsilon War was it starting to properly weigh on him.
The clerk would come back with the scrolls, and a note saying he was now a Jounin for his efforts in Frost. No ceremony, no fanfare, just a simple promotion. He'd quickly read the scrolls, memorizing their contents before handing them back to the clerk. He was already understanding the underlying mechanics to them, and while he couldn't finish the puzzle for Flame Beheading, a goal had been in mind for a while. While under normal circumstances he was limited to only Futon, there was a technique that could assist him. It was only mentioned in passing, but supposedly something called Earth Grudge Fear would let him use not only Katon, but all four of the Basic Elements that he couldn't use, which would let him properly learn Kumo's unique jutsu.
He could use it to keep their memory alive.
It was about time he visited Shimiko.
