Tsuneo hadn't conversed much and only talked when needed, but he felt like he might have to change that since there was already a quiet one that kept to themselves in their group, Takeshi. Since Tsuneo was in the upper echelons of the Uchiha, he had to volunteer in order to join the covert task force for the Uchiha Clan called the Haou and he did so very early in his life. As a result of that, he was exposed to being able to mold his personality at a young age. To be truthful, even Tsuneo could not remember how he used to act and behave like before they trained him. Sasuke did not know how he felt about Tsuneo putting himself into dangerous situations at such a young age, as he expressed towards him many times, but Sasuke was also reminded of his own brother Itachi that was similar and of his own sensei Kakashi as well. Perhaps it was a necessary experience to mold Tsuneo into the strong ninja he was today, but some felt that he could've probably gone about it a different way. After some years, Sasuke forcibly took him out of the Haou and began to train Tsuneo himself. Tsuneo adopted a neutral personality and expressions to go with that personality so he could mold it easily. Currently, Tsuneo was in the process of creating himself and it wouldn't take long before he'd cement his own role into the group.<br/><br/>The group spent most of their time walking and then camping out. It had seemed that the girls were able to get along with each other in a short time but no such progress occurred between the two young men. It wasn't wise to rush into these sort of things, Tsuneo collected this belief through his own experiences, and decided to just let matters settle themselves in this case. At night when everyone else slept, Tsuneo was usually wide-awake, thinking about his village and remembering his past as he stared up at the starry night sky. He'd get up and take short walks, returning in time just so he could get a few hours of rest in.<br/><br/>Eventually, the group was able to secure themselves a proper lodging and sleep on actual beds. Where Tsuneo slept did not matter much to him, sleep was precious and a ninja involved in many missions couldn't be too picky on where or when he slept, but he had to admit that sleeping comfortably was much better than sleeping uncomfortably. As they got closer and closer to Kirigakure, the moisture in the air continued to increase and the mist started to become dense. The team were going to have to get used to this weather. After they rested and ate breakfast the morning after, they left the town and started to head towards Waterfall Canyon. As the group got closer and closer, the mist thickened almost eerily.<br/><br/>They finally reached a massive bridge called the Waterfall Bridge. Tsuneo heard a few stories behind this bridge and was quite familiar with it already. Karin exclaimed at the amount of water and Tsuneo had to agree. Even though this was not the first time that he came to this giant bridge, he couldn't help but marvel at its construction at the colossal waterfall. However, something felt off. As if... they were being watched. Tsuneo looked around, sensing faint chakra coming from ten individuals. A trap, Tsuneo wondered. He kept his guard up as they managed to walk all the way to the halfway point of the bridge before being assaulted by the ten ninja that Tsuneo had sense. Everything happened quickly and a pair of ninja attacked each member of their group.<br/><br/>Each ninja wore a white mask with blood red numbers, Tsuneo was apparently chosen by numbers four and five. Four was using water jutsu to surround himself in water, and Five was a swordsman wielding two long, thin blades. These two looked like trouble and, as Karin shouted out to the team to stay back, Tsuneo took it upon himself to drag the two he was responsible for away from the main group. Five and Four charged at him and Tsuneo moved easily past them and continued running towards an unoccupied part of the bridge further down. He turned back to see if they were still targeting him and they were. After a long enough distance, Tsuneo stopped and turned around, reaching into his pouch for four shuriken and throwing it at the two approaching ninja. It seemed that the two coordinated quite well as the one with the long swords moved in front and deflected all four. Now Tsuneo knew more or less how the two operated.<br/><br/>After Five blocked his shuriken, Four jumped above Five and shot water bullets from his mouth at Tsuneo. Evading using multiple backflips, Tsuneo eventually stopped but Five appeared in front of him and lunged forward with his two swords. Quickly thinking, Tsuneo dropped himself on his back, flat on the floor, and spun around to kick Five's legs to knock him off balance. Five evaded and jumped backwards and Four attacked from behind Five with a water stream attack in the shape of a snake and Tsuneo countered quickly with a few handsigns and a basic fire stream attack, causing a dense mist to appear in their immediate area. Five and Four laughed among themselves, thanking Tsuneo for giving them the upper hand, they were from Kirigakure after all. Five charged towards Tsuneo while Four waited outside the dense mist. With the young ninja in his sights, Five aimed his blades at Tsuneo yelling,<strong><em>"You're mine now, idiot!"</em></strong>And right before the blades made contact with him, an electrically charged palm penetrated Five's chest and heart all the way through his back, Tsuneo calmly saying,<strong>"Chidori. Rest in peace to the sound of birds."</strong>Five coughed up a large amount of blood before falling limp over his shoulder. Tsuneo removed his now blood soaked hand and laid Five on his back. He removed his mask and closed the now dead man's eyelids with one slow moment of his palm. Five wasn't much older than he was, it was such a tragedy.<br/><br/>Like a demon emerging from Hell, Tsuneo left the mist and threw Five's mask at Four and asked,<strong>"I left your comrade's body on the bridge. You can either fight me and die, or  give your friend a proper burial."</strong>Four kicked Five's mask off the bridge, clearly showing his feelings and launched several water snakes at Tsuneo. The young man sighed and ran towards Four, evading all the water snakes. Tsuneo jumped over Four, and he bit his own thumb while in the air,<strong>"It seems you like snakes, let me show you some real ones."</strong>When he landed, his palm smacked the bridge and four seven-foot long constrictors were summoned,<strong>"Hana, Hibi, Hyubo, Hiji, you guys know what to do."</strong>The four constrictor snakes all scattered and went underneath the bridge. Four looked around waiting for the snakes to appear but they never came and he looked at Tsuneo,<strong><em>"I guess they're not too fond of you if they just ran away! Here goes, Water Spear Barrage Jutsu!"</em></strong>Using more water from the waterfall, Four launched a wide attack of spear-shaped water projectiles at him, seemingly impossible to block. A water spear pierced into Tsuneo's chest and then the rest of them hit, causing Four to exalt himself for his achievement. While he was celebrating, the four constrictors moved on all four sides of Four and wrapped around him, leaving only his face uncovered as his mask fell off. Four's eyes went wide when he saw what was supposed to be Tsuneo's body collapse into hundreds of small snakes that slithered away. Tsuneo appeared from underneath the bridge and approached Four as he was being strangled to death. He barely gave him a glance before saying while walking away,<strong>"You guys can do whatever you want with him when he is dead."</strong>The four constrictors hissed in happiness and soon one wrapped around his neck and a snap echoed. Tsuneo said in a somber, almost sad, tone,<strong>"I guess even you guys were not able to give me the experience I was looking for..."</strong><br/><br/>Tsuneo, unharmed and untouched in his fight, walked back to the rest of his team in order to assist if necessary.
