Sachio's First Lick(s)[Mission, Hayato]

Spoiler:

Patiently waiting at Kumogakure gates in a minor fritz, Sachio looked up to the sky anxiously. Today would be a corner stone in Meech's shinobi career and he was just as excited as he was dreading it. It was a headhunter styled task, meaning today he would more than likely be popping his killing cherry. He didn't want to give off a nervous aura or come of as nervous seeing as he would be accompanying a few superiors on this mission. To ease his nerves he found himself mentally uttering his clansmen words to himself. These were words that were used to justify the act of killing, things like "It's sure to come one day." "It's your duty as a ninja." "Your only speeding up what they have coming to them." Some a bit less directed at the situation, but the virgin to killing. "Stop being a weakling/coward/spineless/etc". These of course did little to reinforce Sachio's will as this was something that the ninja just had to overcome or prepare themselves for. Taking in a breath, he knew it wasn't something he should let sit on his mind, especially when he'd be in the midst of combat, so he set it aside until the time came as he exhaled. A brand new Kusarigama at his side since his last one was dramatically destroyed, his fingers grazed against the chain length and made it jingle ever so slightly.

He had so much more training to do, but found so little time with all the recent missions popping up. He wondered if after this he'd be able to get a bit more time to focus on himself and his training especially as a Kazan clan member. He wanted to be able to utilize his Kekkei Genkai to his full potential and didn't want to disappoint his clansmen or tarnish their name by performing poorly in the fields with other Kumogakure ninja.

He was running late, which was pretty unusual for him, as he was usually on time. This would be his first mission with a genin and his new friend Izo, and he was excited to say the least. By taking on this mission, he would be able to help mold the shinobi of the future. He was pretty young himself, only 5 years older than the aforementioned genin. Sachio Kazan was his name and from what Hayato had read on him, he was a capable shinobi, whom, like Hayato, loved dango. Which was why he was late... he wanted to surprise the boy with a stick of the tasty treat, but there was a longer line than he expected. Hmm... he might be a little pissed, but at least I have dango. Hayato thought as he flicked away his finished stick. He was nearing in on the gate...

In correspondence with his name, the Black Wind of the Cloud, he was clad in his usual all black attire: black pants, black shoes, a fishnet undershirt, and a custom made black top. Even his color shifting eyes were black. He finally reached the gate and saw Sachio waiting for him, a small grin came across his face. "Yo!" he shouted at the blonde boy from behind. When he got his attention, he handed him the dango stick and said "I'm Hayato Shavitis, one of the appointed jounin for this mission." It was then that he noticed the kusarigama on his side. A weapon as complex as that isn't for anyone, one must have an intuitive mind and quick reflexes. The only person they were waiting on was Izo Uzumaki. The last time he had seen the red-haired shinobi was at the Thunder Grounds, which was not so long ago. Hayato looked at the mountain range of the Land of Lightning that lay in front of him, taking in the beautiful view and said "Hmm... what's taking that fool, Izo, so long?" He stroked his chin as he inquired, longing for their mission to begin.

Hayato stopped rubbing his chin and listened to Sachio, who was completely correct because as a shinobi, promptness was key. It was a point they emphasized in the academy, a point that the young genin had obviously taken notice of. Just as Hayato opened his mouth to respond to Sachio, an anbu member appeared in a flash, as if he was summoned. He looked at the anbu, wondering why he would suddenly appear. From the lack of red hair, he could tell that this man wasn't Izo. "Hmm... what is your business here?" Hayato asked, though he had a feeling that it involved their untimely team member. "Uzumaki Izo will not be accompanying you on your mission, he has other duties he must tend to." said the anbu in a monotone manner. Hayato nodded, understanding the situation. Some missions were just more important than others. The man then disappeared, using a smoke bomb as cover.

As he waved the smoke away, Hayato addressed Sachio "Well, I believe you have your answer." Having a member of the anbu with them would have made the mission easier, but that was not the case. "It's only the two of us, so we need to watch each other's back. You can trust me because I trust you and have faith in your abilities. Don't look at me as your superior, but as your equal." Hayato said with a grin. "So Sachio... are you ready to kick those two brothers' asses?" his eyes flicking to grey as he asked the genin. The best way to get through tribulations such as this was through hope. Hayato started walking, knowing Sachio would follow. It was time to go.
