Here was the gate of Konoha. Well, part of it. Gennin didn't get the cushy position of guarding the min spot- no Hibiki liked to make them walk the perimeter of the gate itself. All the way around Konoha, for 6 hours. That was their shift. All the while, he enjoyed talking about the history of the gate, how many people died on the gate, how many invasions it had stopped, etc. He was a boring man, but Ryoku didn't mind listening to him drone on and on. It was comforting, honestly. He could walk and listen with a smile, asking questions quietly here and there. Hibiki might have an inflated sense of self image, but the gennin found the older ninja easy to get along with. He didn't ask for too much ,after all.
Six hours passed slowly but surely, and Ryoku left for the day. He would turn in his mission report of an accomplished D-rank mission. He thought that perhaps he'd be back tomorrow. Gate duty was relaxing. He felt he needed a break anyway.
