A New Light? {P, Hirako & Habee}

Hirako walked slowly through the streets of Sunagakure. The village had really grown on him. The sun was nice-not that he often took time to bask in it, but the way it lit up the landscape was rather beautiful. Having just graduated from the academy Hirako was in a state of limbo. He did not yet have a genin team, but he also was not allowed back at the academy. As such he spent his days wandering through the village testing each ice cream stand, which was what he was doing now. As she walked through the crowed streets fully of vendors peddling their vibrant wares to passerbys he licked a chocolate ice cream cone. In the back of his mind Hirako half felt like simply sitting down in the middle of the street and sleeping, but decided not to. Out of the corner of his eye Hirako spotted an odd sight in Sunagkure: a thief running from an angry shop keeper. As luck would have it the thief was running right by Hirako, so doing the sensible thing, he stuck out his left foot and watched as the thief fell flat on his face-tripped. With a content smile hidden by his mask Hirako simply shook his head in sign of no to the shopkeeper who was now offering money to Hirako for stopping the thief. With that out of the way he continued on his walk through the village as the crys of thank yous from the overly enthusiastic shopkeeper followed him.

Xuro walking through the streets of Sunagakure was doing his normal patrol. He strolled through the streets observing every little detail that took place. Even a small difference occurring he would turn and take notice to make sure everything was alright. He was dressed in his usual Jounin attire covered by his brotherhood of Light cloak. The long cloak marked his leadership of the Brotherhood of Light along side his "brother" Nero. He walked with the symbol of Light marked on the back of his cloak. This showed his loyalty to the Light and left a mark on those who watch him walk past them. He had his Brotherhood of Light head band strapped tightly across his forehead slightly slanted across his left eye covering Xuro's prized possession, his sharingan. His eye caught of a robbery which the thief made a run for it. He was about to run after him but there was no need since a boy did a clever trick as to trip the thief as he was running. He was pretty impressed. Perhaps the boy was a shinobi of Sunagakure... Xuro followed the boy for a couple a meters before he caught up with him. "Hey there... I was what you did. That was pretty heroic and also not to accept the reward you got." Xuro said as he walked next to the boy

Hirako continued to walk along at a meandering pace with ice cream in hand. He was not really paying all that much attention to his surroundings, so he was a bit surprised when some one spoke to him though not surprised enough to stop walking. Instead he politely listened to what the man had to say. It seemed the man was impressed with that he had done. Hirako shrugged and turned his gaze over to the man. From behind his sunglasses Hirako noted that the man wore the attire of a jounin of Sunagakure-interesting. Hirako then spoke up with a rather matter of fact voice: "I had no reason to accept his reward. Its not like it was a mission or something." At this point Hirako reached his free left hand into his deep pocket and pulled out his Sunagakure headband and showed it to the man as he continued on: "I'm a shinobi of Sunagakure. I'm supposed to help the people, right? So, thats what I did. I helped that shopkeeper back there. There is no reason to accept a reward if I would have done it anyway." Turning his attention back to his ice cream he took a few liberal licks and continued walking. It was a rare day when he did not have his mask on, but eating ice cream obliged him to take it off.

Xuro listen to the boy speak. Well he sure was a proper honest shinobi just by listening to what he said. Xuro produced a smile and said, "Ok then. Just wanted to check if were a shinobi of Sunagakure. And so you are. Well you are a very good one then I assume. Doing your duty without taking a reward. I must say I'm impressed! Not many shinobi you come across do such a norble deed as such... I'm Xuro Bakuton by the way. And you are?" Xuro never seen this boy before so he assumed the boy was probably out of the academy or something of that sort.

Placing the headband back in his pocket Hirako licked his ice cream as he listened to the man talk once again. he was not used to such praise-he was only doing his job after all, but he figured he would take what he could. Allowing the man to finish speaking Hirako then spoke up in a more interested tone than before: "Well it is nice to meet you Xuro, my name is Hirako Aburame. I take it by your attire that you are a jounin, so why bother talking to a lowly genin like myself?" Hirako was not really used to be talked to by people of higher ranking, so he was curious as to what Xuro wanted. with him.

Xuro looked up at the sky as he began his reply towards the boy, "Ah! Well, firstly its nice to meet your Hirako Aburame..." Xuro had heard of the Aburame clan but hasn't met one before nor did he ever realise there were Aburame clan members in Sunagakure. "You see, I take a lot of interest into the shinobi of my village especially the young low ranked ones, no offense I'm just saying...So anyways, I try and seek out their potential and such. Before I speak more about myself, I would like you to tell me exactly what can you do Hirako. You possess any cool tricks? Have any neat tricks obtained from your clan?" Xuro wanted to see what the boy could do or how powerful he really is. Even if the boy has potential to become stronger. That is the person Xuro is looking for. If the boy answers appropriately as to how Xuro wants then he would see if the boy is worthy enough to see the Light...

Hirako listened to Xuro as he talked all the while licking his ice cream cone. He had to admit that he was a rather low leveled shinobi, but one day he hoped to become much more. Once Xuro had finished speaking Hirako took a few moments to collect his thoughts and then spoke in a rather proud voice: "Well, as you said I am a rather lowly ranked. I only just graduated to genin. Thus, far I have chosen to specialize in puppetry one of the unique arts of Sunagakure. Now, as for my clan...it will probably be easier for me to show you than for me to explain." With that Hirako went silent and allowed five kikaichū to come out of his body and emerge from his collar. They would slowly crawl up his face until all five of them were viewable. All five of them took flight and then buzz around Xuro's head. After completing three loops around his head the kikaichū would return to Hirako and go up his right sleeve and back into his body. Now he would speak up again: "The Aburame has a symboitc relationship with the kikaichū they feed off our chakra and in turn we can control them and have them fight for us. Pretty cool huh?" With that Hirako continued to lick his ice crea cone, which was slowly getting smaller by the second.

Xuro listened attentively to the boy explanation and also was struck in awe when he saw the boy capabilities. So the boy could control insects... This was very interesting for Xuro. He had just found a great asset to the Brotherhood. Perhaps he shall tell this boy, Hirako about his organisation... "Wow! You certainly have quite a great ability there to control insects. I must say I'm impressed! And as for the puppetry specialisation you going into, that is also very intriguing. Although it suppose to be a trait of Sunagakure, there ain't that many puppetry users around..." Xuro looked at the boy for a moment, "so Hirako listen here, there's this organisation that me and my close friend Nero have. Its called the Brotherhood of Light. Its based here, in Suna. It consists of all different shinobi with different abilities and unique talents such as your own- puppetry and the Aburame clan's kekkei Genkai. We are build on the basis of uniting all of this different types of shinobi under one header, the Brotherhood of Light. We all have a main goal to help each become the strongest we can become and also fighting together and to accomplish peace and such... So I really like your capabilities and want to ask you if you interesting in join us, the Brotherhood?" Xuro would really he glad to have a shinobi like hirako joining their ranks...

Listening with an interested ear Hirako forgot about his ice cream cone, which quickly turned into a puddle in his hand. Though he paid it no mind as he hung on Xuro's every word. An organization? Hirko had never been part of anything, but now he was being asked to join an organization. It was like a dream come true, but he did not want to seem to eager, so he tempered his feelings and waited for Xuro to finish. Once he did finish Hirako pretended to give it some serious thought until at last he spoke up and spoke slowly like he was contemplating each word he said: "I would be honored to be a part of such an organization. Are there formal meetings very often?" Hirako did not have much else to ask or say really. Maybe this was what they call being at a loss for words? Hirako was not too sure, but he continued to walk and threw his ruined ice cream cone away in a trash can they were passing by.

After the boy gave it some thought, he gave his answer much to Xuro's delight.
He agreed to join the Brotherhood of Light. Xuro was excited, he had really recruited a lots of new people now into their brotherhood and this boy proves to be the strongest yet. He has a ton of potential and also the skills which he currently possess are of a very high level. Xuro would smiled and say, "Ok then. Welcome aboard! Currently... Well thing is... Up until the attack on Sunagakure we lost quite a few of our members and we only down to us three, me and my co-commander, Nero and the next in rank, Vergil. So just as the village has been rebuilding itself so have we. We started recruiting again and we've got a few more. Once our numbers are of a reasonable level we will have a meeting where they will get to meet you and you'll get to meet all of them... Now then, just one small initiation before you become a fully fledged member. You will need to be marked with a curse mark done by my co-commander Nero. Don't worry no pain or anything like that. Just a simple harmless curse mark that can allow you to telepathically communicate to anyone of else or vice versa. And also allow you to summon anyone of us to where we are or vice versa. Its a pretty cool curse mark. I'll just get Nero over here to do it and give you our signature brotherhood of light head band just like the one I'm wearing. Then you can be called amongs the Brotherhood of Light...."

Xuro then called Nero telepathically, "Hey nero I've got another recruit for the BoL. If you accept I can summon you here where I am."
