Kylar walks down a path through the forest surrounding Konoha, feeling a sense of finality to his voyage. He can sense the village drawing near, the one place that can make him as strong as he wishes to become. The moonlight shines down, illuminating his path, the silence of the night almost absolute. He is within sight of the Hokage monument when he notices someone else further along the path. The dark-haired boy seems to be carrying something to the village, probably running errands.
Do to the boys load, Kylar is slowly catching up to the boy. Before he can reach him, however, three dark shapes burst from the trees. They are bandits trying to rob the boy. Kylar sprints to catch up, feeling his anger boil at attack. He puts up a good fight, holding off the bandits until Kylar can reach him. Kylar instantly attacks one of the bandits from behind before anyone realizes he has joined the fight. Kylar joins the boy, but it soon becomes evident that they are losing ground.
Suddenly, shinobi from the Leaf blur into focus, surrounding the bandits, and make quick work of capturing them. Kylar looks to the boy, and notices with some agitation that Kylar seems to have faired worse in the fight. And he thought of himself as a pretty good fighter already. "Are you alright?" he asks the other boy as he tries to stem the bloodflow from a cut over his eye.
