Akio sat with his legs crossed at the top of the rocky mountain with a teacup filled to the brim with warm soothing tea, "About time, Arashi. I was beginning to think you fell on your way up." He said in a tone that heavily suggested he was joking. He let out a smile to emphasize he was just messing with him. Akio set his cup down on the stone next to himself on the ground and reached for the tea kettle in front of him and poured some tea into another teacup, "Tea?" Akio then held the teacup outwards, offering him the relaxing beverage.
"I usually come up here to clear my head every once and a while. However, I can see you're here on a different note--to train, I presume." Akio said after making the observation Arashi was drenched from sweat due to his rock-climbing. "I'm also here for a different reason. Instead of spending time to myself or sitting up here with my wife, I've come up here to say goodbye Arashi."
The jonin's mouth edged into a small smile, "I have to go to Kumogakure for a while to help the war's intelligence division come up with strategies and all of that mess." He sighed boredly before continuing. "During the war, I will be sending you, Hayashi, Seth, Izu, and Rin on special missions--you all are Konoha's secretive task force during this war. Inoichi will mentally link me with you five in order to stay in contact over the vast distance in order to give you any orders. Any questions?" He asked, finally pausing to give Arashi a chance to respond or ask any questions.
Even though Akio entrusted Seth to become the next Hokage, he also believed that Arashi would leave a strong imprint on the world. As well as the older Uchiha on the team, Hayashi. He treated his entire team like they were family, Akio would be willing to die for them if the matter required it to happen. After saying goodbye to Arashi, he would head home and say goodbye to his wife, and leave a letter in Hayashi's residence telling him of his departure--and of course apologizing he didn't see him in person because he didn't want to interrupt his training with Rin and Izu.
