Kuno
D-rank
Kuno Uchiha slammed the door behind him as he stepped out into the hot Land of Wind morning. As usual, the sun was beating down on the desert Village Hidden in the Sands, and Kuno was still dressed as if he still lived in the Land of Fire. His black pants and jacket were on, though the jacket was unzipped and blew behind him in the wind of the day. On his left hip, the young Uchiha had attached his miao dao and he had tied his headband on properly, attempting to carry his village symbol with pride despite the weight of the world that was still weighing heavily on his shoulders. He had watched his mother die in a pool of her own blood in the kitchen of their family home. And on top of that, his sister had been taken by the same people that had done it. His world had been turned upside down in that one night, but now it was time for him to push through the pain, and to bring justice down like the fist of God on whoever had done this to him and his family.
His best lead was still a group that had begun to circulate in Sunagakure no Sato very recently. Nobody knew what their goals were in the village; the only thing that even identified them as a group was the kanji for “Autumn” that was present on cloaks that he had found. One of these cloaks had been found in the hand of his dying mother, which had spurred him into honing in on his already underway investigation. After looking into some of the smaller leads that he had been able to follow up on thanks to his original work, he was able to surmise that one of this group’s hideouts was an old abandoned building in the slums of Sunagakure. He could have then taken this information to the Kazekage, or to some sort of higher ranked ninja, but he did not. Instead he had decided that he was going to be a part of the raid of this place, and so help him he would slaughter ever last person in the place if they had his sister. He was full of hate and anger and sorrow, and he needed a place to unleash those emotions.
But one thing that Kuno was not full of was stupidity; he knew that he needed help if he was going to assault this place. So, he had looked into any shinobi in the village that he thought might be willing to help in his work, and as part of those findings, Kuno had come across the name of another Uchiha who he believed would be able to assist him: Syekren Uchiha. He was a special jonin who was also the head of a squad. He was fairly well known as a powerful user of the Sharingan, which was something that grabbed Kuno’s attention over almost all else. Having recently awoken his own Sharingan, he was still getting used to using the dojutsu, and he knew that any help this man could give him would be invaluable. Kill two birds with one stone, the young Uchiha thought to himself as he rounded the corner onto a street that headed toward the Sandy Arena. He had spent the better part of the previous day looking for Syekren, but to no avail. After asking around, he had determined that the man could usually be found at the arena that Kuno was now approaching, training and teaching.
As he finally stepped into the Sandy Arena proper, the young Uchiha looked around at the people that were within. There weren’t many, but even so Kuno could not pick out which of the ninja present were Syekren Uchiha. Shaking his head, he stepped up to a man that appeared to be some sort of groundskeeper for the arena and asked him if he knew of the Uchiha in question. “Ha!” the man replied. “Know him? Why I see him almost every day around here. That’ll be him over there.” The older gentleman pointed Kuno in the direction of a man that was far separated from host of the others. Nodding and thanking the groundskeeper, Kuno began to head in that direction, approaching the man that would hopefully be his ally.
