OOC: For those of you who had a problem with my character, it would have been better explained later in the story. Soji does not know every technique and I don't pretend that he does. He is an earth and water elemental which is what I kept him to most of the time. The reason you couldn't beat him is merely because you didn't think enough about how to beat him. I designed his character so he couldn't be beat with brute force, but by a lot of thinking.
Soji looked down on Konoha with a mixture of disgust and pity. It was true that the village had grown weak, but this weak? He shook his head and looked off into the distance. It had been so long since he had visited this place. His ailment had forced him to leave in a hurry without looking back or even getting to tell Tripod what happened to him. His eyes softened for a moment at the thought of his former traveling companion. He had missed her greatly while he was away. Something about the girl brought out his better side. Maybe if she had been with him, he wouldn't have decided to kill all those people...
Soji shook the thought from his mind and began to desend upon the village, floating down gently on an air current. He had no wings and appeared to be standing in midair. He didn't care though. He slowly twisted the small silvery ring on his finger, looking down at it for a moment. A ring of Akatsuki. He had been cornered by them not long after he left. His ailment had made him too weak to fight and they took advantage of that by tricking him into returning to them when his mind wasn't completely whole. Of course, he could just leave again, but their great need for him was interresting and he wanted to see how it would play out.
He landed gently in the main street of Konoha and looked around. There were of course, many eyes on him from the common villagers. It must not have been often a man flew down into their streets. He didn't know where to start in the village, but he knew he wanted to find Tripod and explain to her. Looking over the brim of his staw hat, he saw a bird pass above him as he thought. Last he could remember, he had seen her with that Uchiha child. That was so long ago, but he knew it was the best place to start.
With a huge bound, he lept over several buildings, using an air current to land gently on a rooftop and then springing himself into the air again. It didn't take long to reach his destination. Several bounds later he was looking at the entrance to the Uchiha Clan's old area. He looked up at it and sighed, wondering if he was really ready to see Tripod again. Slowly removing his straw hat, he let his long, silvery hair to fall down along his back.
