The straight line of his face threatening to turn into a smirk. His approval, for whatever reason, meant a lot of to him. Even if at times, he believed him to be overly aggressive, borderline scary. [b]S[/b]tanding to his feet, Giichi watched Gin leave before heading out himself. It would be nice to get to know another ninja, especially one from another village. It interested him how others veiwed their homelands compared to the rest of the world. He had that goal in mind as he strolled out behind the ninja, that was until a hand fell onto his shoulder. [b]L[/b]ooking over his shoulder, he gazed at Yamato with trepidation. [color=orange][i][b]C[/b]rap, did I mess up? Maybe he was just pretending that I did well.[/i][/color] When he answered Giichi's thoughts, the youth could only smile. [color=orange] [b] “T[/b]hanks.”[/color] [b]W[/b]ith a slight frown, he accepted the mission. He didn't particularly enjoy thinking that a fellow ninja could be an enemy but it was a reality. One that he guessed was being forced down his throat, not by Yamato, but by the world in most cases. Reluctantly, Giichi tilted his face to the side, crossed his arms, and answered. [color=orange] [b] “O[/b]kay. I'll keep a eye on him. Honestly though, I don't think he's too bad.”[/color] [b]L[/b]eaving the room after Yamato, Giichi scratched his head with a lone finger. The extra burden showed that Yamato was trusting him to carry it out, which left him with little choice in the matter. The Minamoru and the Uzumaki clans were on good terms at the moment. If he remembered, he believed his father was speaking of an alliance. That stuff was beyond him most of the time but a inner-circle of sorts was beginning to show itself to him. [b]N[/b]ot thinking too hard on Gin's words, Giichi followed suit and with nervous, if not, adaptive smiles comforted his jokes. So Gin had known, which honestly took a lot off his shoulders. He wondered how for a second but figured he had just overheard them. [b]G[/b]iichi staid in the doorway. [color=orange] [b] “D[/b]oubt it,”[/color] he answered bluntly. [color=orange] [b] “H[/b]e's not the type to blame the clan on a single ninja--Maybe vice-versa … I think. He knows my clan is respectable, powerful; sure a insult might go out to them in anger but I don't think he would mean it.”[/color] [color=orange] [b] “T[/b]hing is, Yamato holds power in high-esteem. If ya wanna get on his good side, show you're worth.”[/color] A frown dotted his lips at his next thought. [color=orange] [b] “I[/b] can sorta see why he acts that way … its complicated and ... well, traditional.”[/color]
