A New Light? {P, Hirako & Habee}

"Of course," Nero would have answered, not questioning his brother about the new recruit he talked about, "I trust your sense of judgement, and will not observe the boy before recruiting him... Just summon me for the official recruitment.".

Xuro, with the acknowledgement of Nero, he would summon Nero in front of him to face the boy Hirako. After Nero would be summoned Xuro would say to Nero, "This Hirako Aburame, he is still a genin but a very promising one. His clan, the Aburame, have a very unique Kekkei Genkai. He's able to control insects and such. Also he specialises in Puppetry, a skill we haven't seen around lately since one of our brothers which is no more. Since he's passing, we never had anyone to replace the spot as a Puppeteer and this boy can take his place."

Hirako nodded in response to Xuro and stopped walking. It sounded like a well put together organization, which sounded like just the thing Hirako was looking for. All he needed now was a genin team, which would no doubt be coming any time now. So, for now Hirako simply waited for Xuro to go and get the other leader by the name of Nero. Though it was odd Xuro did not move to go find this Nero. Instead he simply sat there-how odd. Waiting Hirako allowed his mind to wander. Alas it did not get to wander far as another man appeared, seemingly out of no where. Rather shocked Hirako listened to Xuro speak in silence and waited for the man who had appeared from thin air to respond-Hirako saw no reason to speak right then.

{Sorry for the meh post.}

Nero would have entered the area with a puff of smoke that would have appeared between Xuro Bakuton and the promising recruit Hirako Aburame. The smoke clearing out would reveal the Goka clan leader, Jounin of the Village hidden in the Sand, and last but not least, one of the two founders of the Brotherhood of Light; Nero... He would have been wearing all his attire except including his eyepatch.

Nero's brown hair would be unusually standing still, that was a rather rare view considering the constant wind being blown from the north to the south, that was pretty effective in the village that was in the middle of the desert. The brown eyes of the jounin would search the area. It seemed that the Goka clan member still hasn't gotten used to being summoned by his comrades. He would observe the area, and figure out on which side of the village they were; as his eyes would then move to the boy standing ahead of him. "A puppeteer..." he would think to himself. He would observe the boy's outlook, but of course couldn't tell much as nearly all of the boy's body was covered in clothes. "Don't you get too hot in those clothes, kid ?" Nero would ask Hirako. "Hirako..." he would think to himself, "Now, from where do I know that name ?".

Then, it would hit him. He would remember the letter delivered to him by another ninja. "Of course..." he would think to himself, "Of course, he is one of those 3 kids...". "Oh,", he would say, starting to speak again after a short break, "How rude of me... I should have introduced myself. Hi Hirako. My name is Nero, a Jounin-ranked ninja of this village, the co-founder of the organisation called the Brotherhood of Light; as well as the Head of the Goka Clan. Now, the part that most concerns you: The leader of the Genin team that you are assigned to. So you can call me Sensei, or Nero-sama for now, and so in front of the whole team even later.".

Nero wouldn't even need to turn around and face Xuro to know he was there. He would have talked to him through their telepathic link. "I must say, the boy turns out to have a rather shady look... But didn't Kiyamo also have a satanic one ? And we still accepted him as our brother, treated him no different than how we treat each other, Xuro... Hell, I even killed a kid trying to escape the village; and blamed him for killing the one called Flinglass. He was in fact killed by our brother, Kiyamo... Do you remember it, brother ? Were you there on the occasion ? Anyway, our number has been going lower and lower lately... So many deaths... I believe that we need new friends, a new family... Let's see what this boy is, on the inside...".

Nero would have been lost in thoughts, the memories of the many people they have lost: Kiyamo to begin with... Even the former Deputy Kazekage Azaiyo... But, Nero would not let his feelings overwhelm him, nor would he allow one single tear to be shed. "Ninjas must not show thier emotions..." he would repeat to himself several times in his head, as he would clean the dirt off from his shoulders; the action being done with the mere hope of dragging himself out of his world of thoughts back into real world.

Xuro would wait for Nero to scrutinise the new kid Hirako. Xuro was pretty confident about this kid. He waited for Nero to introduce himself. It appeared that Hirako was assigned to Nero's team as well. So Xuro was sure that Hirako was in good hands being on the same, being lead by Nero. Xuro then replied to Nero's telepathic conversation, "Yes I see.. I do remember Kiyamo but didn't know he killed Flinglass. But thinks couldn't be helped. He was soo right in his head. This boy however looks a lot more sane. He is trustworthy and looks stable.... But we must still see the boy in action. Well I guess that's your job being his team leader. But I'm sure his skills are very impressive just alone by belonging to the Aburame clan"

Xuro then looked at Hirako and posed a question, "Hey Hirako, since you a puppeteer, you have any puppets??"

Hirako stood in a rather relaxed stance as he waited to be addressed by Nero. The first question the man asked was not a surprising one as it was one that Hirako heard a lot. He had been wearing much the same attire much of his life, so he had become quite accustomed to answer this question. However, it seemed that Nero had something more to say, which Hirako politely allowed him to do. As Nero continued to talk Hirako unconsciously straightened his stance as it was revealed that Nero was to be his team leader and Hirako did not want to look bad on his first meeting.

Finally, at last, Nero finished, which was followed by a question about puppets from Xuro, which was a reasonable one to say the least. Allowing Xuro to finish Hirako then spoke up in a friendly tone, so that Nero and Xuro could here. He chose to answer Nero first and thus bowed to him ever so slightly: "It is nice to meet Nero-sama." At this point Hirako came out of his bow. "And, yes this attire can be uncomfortable at times. However, I wear it for the benefit of others. I would think it would be unsettling to see my kikaichū burrowing in and out of my body." Now turning to Xuro Hirako responded to him: "As of yet I do not have any puppets, but I am working on one that looks much like any one of the snakes you see out in the desert sands. It should be done any day now and be ready for use before my first team meeting." Once he had finished speaking Hirako waited to see if either man wanted say or do anything more.

"Snakes ?" Nero said, laughing, "Well, I guess it's safe to say you are turning out to be mroe like Kiyamo. No, he did not have a Snake Puppet, but the Yuudoku himself was a snake.". He would have taken a short break of seconds for laughing, before he would contniue speaking, "Anyway. It is nice to meet you Kiyamo. Now, have you considered joining our "Brotherhood" ? I'd rather not call it an organisation, but a team, and perhaps a family. Now, I am waiting on your answer to join our family or not.".

[Sorry for the short & poor post]

Xuro laughed at the joke Nero made about their former brother now deceased, Kiyamo. After the laugh, he remained silent for awhile thinking back to the time when Kiyamo was still part of their brotherhood. Xuro had only known him for a short amount of time and before he could even get to know him he died. That's why Xuro would make sure that all his new brothers will remain part of the brotherhood and he would make sure that they are protected by him in his presence and even in his absent he would be protecting them with the new jutsu he would teach them. He just remembered that he needed to show Nero that technique and teach it to him as well as Hirako if he confirms that he wants to join the BoL...

All Hirako could do was quirk an eyebrow at the mention of the one named Kiyamo. He had no idea who this guy was, so the humor was completely lost in him. Luckily Nero asked something besides merely commenting about Kiyamo. It was to this questions about joining the Brotherhood that he answered in a slow deliberate voice: "I would be honored to join such a organization. Are there any initiation rites I have to go through?" As Hirako said this he looked at both Xuro and Nero. It seemed like a valid question: organizations often had some kind of initiation process, so he waited for a response.

"Well, it's not a requirement, perhaps an advantage. You are officially a part of the organization now that you accepted your personal invitation. But there is still one more step you are not required to, but recommended to take. There is a curse mark, invited by myself, that allows members of the organisation to communicate each other telepathically, and even summon each other. I will put the seal on you myself if you in fact want the advantages granted.".
