It felt just like he'd gotten back from a mission, and here they were, sending him straight out on another one. It was good that they were keeping him busy, but even he needed a break every now and then. Kuronotsurugi's jaw clenches as he walked down the dirt path of Konohagakure's streets, heading towards the Hokage's Office, where he was to be meeting the person whom he was working with on this particular mission, and to be told what exactly it was. He was a bit surprised, since it was someone whom he'd never worked with before, he didn't even know their name. If he was to go on another mission right off the bat...he'd rather be working by himself, than with another person. But a mission was a mission, and there really wasn't much he could do about it.<br/><br/>As he walked, he kept his gaze away from any body who might be passing by, but it wasn't really necessary, as many of the people who were nearby, ordinary citizens, usually looked away when he was nearby. They knew his power, and that he was different. Probably more different from many of the other people, who were also...different. They feared him, and they should. However, they didn't know what exactly about him was so out of the ordinary, they could just tell. A certain vibe that he gave off. No, the only one's who knew were the Hokage, his adoptive parents, and a few of the village elders. Other than that, no one knew his secret. None of the others his age knew, none of the teachers at the academy knew. His own brother didn't know. His team mates hadn't know, nor the Jonin who'd led their group when he was younger. But maybe it was better that way.<br/><br/>The building looms over him as he walks closer, and after a few moments, steps in to the shadow of the Hokage's mansion, going in through the large doors that led inside. His footsteps were silent as he walked down the curving hallway, not pausing in step as a familiar face passed by him. He showed no sign of recognition to the man who had taken him in when he was just an infant, took care of him and nurtured him. The man who everyone thought was his father. Another secret that only a handful of people knew the truth about. He may have looked ahead, but Raiken Uchiha paused for just a moment, watching as his 'son' walked by, sighing softly before continuing. That boy was nothing but a stubborn fool, and something was stirring in him...Raiken could tell. And that...wasn't good.<br/><br/>Reaching the door, he knocks, before entering, his eyes automatically falling to the person who was standing there. He was sure he'd heard of her before, but couldn't remember exactly. All he remembered was that she was one of the students who graduated way early, and no one really bothered to get to know. Then, he turns his attention to the Hokage. "Lady Hokage." He bows just slightly, before standing up straight. Tsunade stands up from behind her paper strewn desk, and smiles at them both. "Alright you two, lets get this started. First, before I brief you, introductions. Go ahead and introduce yourselves you two." She crosses her arms over her large chest, waiting for them to oblige her words.<br/><br/>Once again Kuronotsurugi turns his attention to the unknown girl standing there. "Kuronotsurugi Uchiha." That was all he said, as he felt that was all that was necessary to say. He could see a flicker of what seemed to be disappointment in Tsuande's eyes, but he honestly didn't care. All this girl needed to know was his name, and that was it. There was no reason to go in to detail, as he was sure once this mission was over, that was the last time he'd ever see her again.
