[color=6ecff6]"As you predicted, I don't know the answer to any of those questions."[/color] Akio answered in his signature calm voice. [color=6ecff6]"But I'm sure we'll find out soon, Arashi."[/color] He set his teacup down and sighed as he marveled at the beautiful view of the village that was presented to both himself and Arashi. The jonin stood and looked down at his student, [color=6ecff6]"I should probably get going. Itachi will rally you five when we need to send you on a crucial mission."[/color]

Akio turned around and prepared to leap off the mountain top--but quickly hesitated. [color=6ecff6]"Before I go... There's something I need to know, and if you do not feel comfortable answering the question I fully understand."[/color] He turned his upper half towards Arashi for a moment, [color=6ecff6]"Arashi.. I heard Sasuke died for you during the Pain Invasion."[/color] The Senju paused for a moment, and his tone changed to a sentimental one. [color=6ecff6]"In that moment... did you awaken your Mangekyou Sharingan? I know the tragic event was hard for you and you don't like to remember it, but I need to know whether or not you awakened it."[/color] Akio had heard and seen some of the unbelievable feats one could preform with the Mangekyou Sharingan; however, he also heard that overuse of it could lead to blindness. He did not want Arashi or Hayashi to eventually go blind, so he'd usually warn them about usage of their Sharingans--but if Arashi had the Mangekyou, it would drastically deteriorate one's eye sight even worse.
