Chakra Reserves Running Low [Rest/Chakra]

Rustle. The leaves shimmied on their branches, scratching against each other violently. The bark of the trees screamed for freedom as the chirping birds plastered their feathery bodies atop their wooden structure. Saito placed his hand on each tree as he walked by them, gently running his fingers along the grooves of each trunk. He could feel their vibrating life force against his finger tips. They sent electric jolts throughout his palms, then through the rest of his body. The elder shinobi knew trees well. He was a firm believer that each was as unique as a human individual. To him, each tree was born with their own personalities and habits. To an outsider, this might have seemed to be nonsense, but to the Senju people, it was a well known fact. After all, their manipulation of their life force only proved their hypothesis.

Quickly, Saito found a quiet spot underneath the shade of a massive tree. Intimately, he crossed his trees and closed his eyes, beginning his meditation routine. To others, it looked like nothing more than a nap. However, to him, a much more delicate process was occurring in his body. He was replenishing his lost chakra -- the results of his dominance over Konohagakure no Sato. He meditated profusely, feeling a sudden surge in chakra overwhelm his body. He was close, close to his standard chakra levels. Just a few more seconds and... there. He was done. He opened his eyes, stood up, and started heading towards the Great Naruto Bridge, where he would meet the leader of the organization he was a part of.
