He hadn't felt anything ill about this person so he met Yamato's gaze with a smile. [color=orange] “[b]S[/b]ame, Yamato-senpai.”[/color] [b]H[/b]e looked between Haruka and Yamato with expectations. Ones that he was filled with an enhanced learning as he traveled with the Chunins. He had said it once, in fact countless times, but he'd say it again. He was extremely lucky, blessed even. His ancestor before him, some would have thanked his exceptional growth due to his companions. The lessons they instilled in him as he grew. Well, Giichi was beginning to see the truth in those words. [b]W[/b]hen a clone leapt down from the tiles of the Leaf Gate, Giichi turned his attention to it and took a cautionary step back. Regardless of his current company, he didn't enjoy being surprised. After introductions was made, he responded himself. [color=orange] “[b]I[/b] will. I plan on becoming Hokage just like my ancestor before me,”[/color] he said. [b]S[/b]tanding amongst the taller ninja left him filling small and at the same time, full of potential. If he could travel with them--show that he could hold his own--then he would technically be three or four steps ahead of the other Genin. Not mention his father would be extra proud of him. He smirked at the inner thought. [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/lu7aXPX.png[/img] [h3][color=red]D A I K I.[/color][/h3][/center] [hr] [b]D[/b]aiki had ignored Takeshi's beating but found a dull light at the end of the man's delusion. Atleast she had finally stopped hitting him. Leaning against the door, his heart had began to pound. The anticipation of a conflict was enough to send anyone into “Flight or Fight” mode. Which is exactly what the tall woman's beating to Takeshi and foreshadowing words had done to him. [b]H[/b]e ground his teeth together as he looked at the opposite wall next to him. What was going on wasn't funny, neither was it acceptable. On a mission, a code of conduct had to be followed. It was never good to follow exactly what your employer ordered … this Tsukiko woman was lowly. Beating her fellow ninja for a price; it almost made him ill. [b]T[/b]he hired-thug approached him, for she was no longer worthy of the title ninja to him. Her punch was thrown and surely, if not for her advance statements and his natural ability, he would have been hit. Instead, a puff of smoke burst where he once stood, and a log had splintered in his place. [b]S[/b]wiftly, he appeared near the other wall, his hands noticeably out his pockets and a dead-set stare facing Tsukiko. His jaw tensed with anticipation; the want to fight was flowing through him, the need to bite back at his beater was near impossible to fight off. His head snapped towards his superior but his voice came out steely. [color=red] “[b]T[/b]his … will happen one or two ways. Either we fight and tear this hotel down around us, possibly hurting your bratty bank account or we both go inside and watch her make a fool of you all.”[/color] [b]H[/b]e sighed softly, expecting her to be smart, if not respectful of his degree of control. It was well-known that he was capable of flying off the handle at even a smidget of discourtesy. There was no need for him to wait for her answer, either way, he was prepared to respond in kind. His steps were weary as he entered the room with Tsukiko and a beaten Takeshi behind him. [b]O[/b]nce he did he heard Miyaka call his codename. A [b]tsk![/b] escaped his lips as he walked forwards, a striking pain passing between his temples. He stepped behind her with apprehension. The weaponry she had pulled out was far more than he had ever seen, and honestly, it scared him. [color=red][i][b]I[/b]f this crazy bitch starts shooting out the window, I'll kill her myself![/i][/color] [b]W[/b]hen her aim veered out the vicinity of the city and near the Minamoru residence, Daiki let his heart storm. He intentionally kept his hands away from weapon … as if he'd give her more to manipulate him with. The fact that he was assigned to her was enough. Even still, the option was highly tempting. He wanted to do it, the fact that he did only reassured him of his true Naito heritage. However, being a ninja was far more important. His values, morals, and pride was necessary to him. Far more important than 200 grand. [b]A[/b]nother sigh left him as he shook his head at her idiotic whims. He turned towards the door without answering Miyaka and started out. [color=red] “[b]I[/b]'m dropping this mission, Tsukiko. Write your report, do whatever you want. I can't stand being around a monster that I can't kill. I'm heading home.”[/color] Once outside the door he found himself fuming. He headed out the hotel and noticed Jakuuna in cuffs. The consequences of greed and foolishly following orders. He his head sunk in thought. [color=red][i][b]T[/b]his is the same as sacrificing my comrades on missions, isn't it? Had I fallen so low that I didn't know I was drowning. I'll do better from here on out.[/i][/color]
