Sero
S-rank
Sero sat on the edge of the forgotten well as he crossed his legs beneath him and seemed to balance perfectly. His eyes were closed and yet to any who drew close be them human or animal in nature they would feel his gaze on them. It was as if even without being able to see those cold, dead, grey eyes watching them he could see everything. His senses were stretched out to their limits but he could pinpoint even a grasshopper flying away from him at this point with the slightest sound it made. He could tell its exact trejectory and how it would land. He felt the nature around him but to him it was avoiding his contact. Even as a sage Nature slipped around him to avoid contact. However not all things in nature did. He could sense the rot in the well and the dead animals that had fallen in below. He could sense the mold growing over a maggot ridden corpse a dozen meters away and he could feel the life energy of what came with death reaching out for him. Empowering him and wanting to give him more. For so long it had been ignored and feared and now death and rot was a source of power for one of the living. To those who would come within a dozen meters of Sero however they would not feel a human but instead as soon as they stepped within range of his aura it would be like walking into a monsters lair. Like a cold gaze shifting on them from the shadows and like the mist under foot was seeking to open like a great maw and consume them. Whatever kind of beast Sero was he would never be mistaken as one of the humans.
Still he sat there in grey robes freshly made by Yasuo and yet to gain a bloodstain on them. Even on the edges of the sleeves the grey pattern hadn't been marred yet. Yasuo demanded Sero dressed in clean robes and was only dissappointed in the color choice. Sero liked blending in with the mist so grey was his go to color. Even his skin seemed like a pale enough color to fade into the mist. However his nails were like crimson claws that didn't belong on a human hand. Stained dark and pointed as if he had evolved for the sole purpose of being a predator. His feet were covered in padded shoes for silent moving and his grey hair shifted in the slight breeze. Slowly his eyes opened as he turned his attention to a vanilla folder in his hand. As an ANBU he had access to the files of each individual in the village and he had chosen some promising new recruits to look through for a new position in the restoration of his island. Five names within the folder had photos next to them. He had sent invitations to all five with his signature for a job offer to them but so far none had arrived. Only one of them stood above the others in his mind though. Ryu Hatake was a promising swordsman with ninjutsu as a specialty as well. Sero could offer a lot to such an individual but most of all they seemed to blend with society better than he or the others did. He needed someone who could traverse where he could not and collect supplies he needed or the other staff needed. He was forbidden from the market and Yasuo felt too much like him. Kamakura was so inexperienced with their culture he stood out like a sore thumb so much so that people got suspicious. Sero could only hope his infamous reputation as the beast of the mist wouldn't scare a genin away.
