First Encounter

The storm raged fiercely that day, the conditions were not becoming of a pleasant time, there was a dark brooding in the air. Tenshi could not quite tell what brought this on, but everywhere he looked, he saw misery and dread. Not due to anything in particular, there just seemed to be a mood amongst the people of Konoha today, he could not put his finger on why, it was not uncommon for rain and thunder in the region. Lightning and thunder struck continuously when he had heard the news that their Hokage had finally returned to the village. Tenshi was ecstatic at the thought, more so when he had been informed that Aokidanza had agreed to meet him, in the village's Advanced Training Facility no less.

The young Uchiha had been waiting for this moment for quite some time now, but had not expected to get the opportunity to meet the Hokage this soon. Knowing better than to bite a gift horse in the mouth, he had simply nodded to the messenger and began his journey towards the facility. He was dressed in his usual black and red attire today, with his long overcoat helping him stay protected from the fierce weather. His thick black boots covered his feet, and his long silver hair left undone to cover his neck from the whipping cold wind.

The journey was not overly long, but the conditions had brought plenty of discomfort, but he was willing to endure this on his day off considering the occasion. Arriving at the facility, Tenshi nodded to the guard posted at the entrance, who was now familiar with the Genin, having seen him on many occasions by now. He made sure to walk into the allocated area, a large indoor section with a diameter of 60 meters in a circular design. Tenshi decided to wait by the entrance as a sign of respect, he stood upright and in silence.
