The sun shown brightly outside,stering Zaiaku slowly and quietly awake.He looked to his side.There was Netsu,sleeping contently beside him.Zaiaku smiled softly,before getting out of bed and retrieveing his clothing before exiting the room.Weeks earlier,they received a letter that the both of them are needed in Kirigakure and will travel with another genin.Begrudgingly,Yorokubi let them go.In the living room,Zaiaku quietly pulled on his pants,but his cloak still in hand.He quietly went outside,into the far-left of the yard,under some debris.He removed them,revealing his armor.He had kept it a secret from both Netsu and his mother,preping for war.He slipped into it as the sun shined against the Sunagakure emblem on his back.He then retrieved his forearm blades from the rubble,shealted,and put them on.He then slipped on his cloak,which covered his entire body,thus hiding the armor.Using a string,he tied the helmet to his belt,hidding by the cloak.He then went back inside,shaking Netsu awake."Its time."
