[quote=@Loki Odinson] I would actually like to leave Kakashi's team the way it is, but around that time, since each of his students are off doing their own thing, he has returned to ANBU as ordered by Tsunade. So on one of his missions, he can make a different call or something when tasked with hunting down missing-nin who are powerful enough to catch the Akatsuki's eye for recruitment and runs into your character. Of course, it wouldn't be realistic to have both of them hitting it off instantly, so maybe Kakashi could be going in undercover as a civilain in one of the smaller Hidden Villages like Grass or Waterfall or somehting, and a friendship is built between them before one finds out that the other is also a ninja. Kakashi then extends his offer of returning to Konoha with him. How does that sound? [/quote] That sounds good to me. In my mind my character is probably around mid/lower akatsuki strength but outmatched by guys like Nagato/pain, Tobi, and itachi. My character can hear the news of Yugito being captured/killed (depending on when exactly we start) and that can also spur him to help Kakashi. Idk how missing nin's work technically in terms of relations with villages that aren't the one they were disowned by, so idk how their relationship would start out necessarily. I was planning on having my character travel around to small ninja villages and do contracts for them secretly since they likely didn't have that much manpower. Kakashi could get information on one of the missions and go intervene. We can also have it so my character has already been visited by Akatsuki so Kakashi has a more valid reason to investigate other than him just being strong. I'm also down to make the first post whenever we're ready. I don't know if we should plan for what happens after they become allies or take it as it goes.
