Konoha Genin - Team 2[/b][/center]

It appeared that Kensuke remembered him after all. Hayate's smile grew slightly larger and he bowed his head slightly. [b]"Well I consider it an honour to be joining your team, however briefly it may be for."[/b] Kensuke had mentioned that he would wait for the others to arrive before giving the briefing and so Hayate resigned himself to wait patiently for them.

Looking around the training fields, he briefly pondered what their mission would be like. Hopefully it would be a little more exciting than chasing cats or mending fences. Not that Hayate thought those types of mission beneath him, he simply hoped that this mission would bring him a challenge. Training under Kiyomi had a tendency to make him crave new challenges and that transferred into his desire for more interesting missions.

Deciding not to simply stand in silence until the other genin arrived, Hayate turned towards Kensuke grinning. [b]"So, Kensuke-sensei, have you grown shorter since we last met? I could have sworn you were twice my size last time."[/b] His tone was lighthearted, attempting to fill the silence with a little friendly banter.
