Seth slowly made his way up the path towards the honored shinobi monument. The sky was dark with a blanket of dark clouds hanging low over the village threatening to start raining down at a moment’s notice. This however, did not deter Seth from making his way to the monument. It was a special day indeed for Seth and his family. It was the anniversary of his father’s death and Seth was on his way to pay his respects. Even though his father was not a shinobi in life, the village had decided to honor him by placing his name on the shinobi monument for living like a shinobi, protecting his loved ones and the village in his final moments.
Seth had also invited his teammate and dear friend, Kyoto on this day. He had grown to think of Kyoto as a brother and felt that as such it would feel wrong on this day to visit his father’s grave without him.
As Seth approached the sacred monument he immediately noticed that something was amiss. Bodies of men broken and in extreme pain laying all around crying or passed out, were writhing and shaking on the cold ground leading up to the monument itself.
At the top of the hill, stood a man that Seth had never seen before. He appeared to be waiting for someone to arrive with a board look on his face, with the crying men at his feet. Seth had no idea what to expect from this man, but he had the strangest feeling that this was a man worth following. But, Seth was to smart to just act off of a feeling. He approached the man preparing himself for anything.

Kyoto of course, was running a tad late. Seth told him where they would go and why they are going. They were to pay their respects to Seth's father. Kyoto is seen running up the path way to the monument, about a minuet or two behind Seth. He was holding a bouquet of flowers in hand which he intended to put on pops grave. Kyoto, although not actually related to Seth or his father, is really close. The two friends would even go to the extent to calling each 'brothers'. So with that, Kyoto sometimes call Seth's dad pops, even though they haven't met. "Wait for me Seth!!" Kyoto screams out to him, as he saw him walking up the path, Kyoto started to run and in due time he reaches the top. Upon being at the top, he see the bodies. The bodies were that of the gang. He recognized the leader Seto. He seen him around walking with a gang of men. He looked like the leader of the bunch and Kyoto thought of him as the leader. But this time, he and his men were beat up into a pulp. Kyoto raises an eyebrow, looking at the bodies curiously before looking up, seeing Seth and a unknown figure, whom he never saw before. Kyoto then walks up behind Seth and places his free hand on his shoulder. "Hey buddy. You know this fella??" Kyoto asked Seth as he thinks the two know each other. He now turns his attention to the other. "Are you here to pay respect for pops too???" Kyoto asked him not really knowing who it is but is eager to. With this, Kyoto lets go of Seth's shoulder and walks up to the guy holding out a fist. "Yo! I'm Kyoto! Whats your name!?!?" Kyoto asked as he's appeared in front of him. Kyoto didn't know what to expect form him. He could have been dangerous and Kyoto and him would had to duke it out, but Kyoto wasn't much of a thinker. He acted upon instinct, quite opposite of his buddy, Seth. But none the less he didn't need to think. He had a feeling about this guy, and it wasn't a bad one.

Seth was convinced now that he had nothing to fear from the man who introduced himself as Shisou Uzumaki. The way he was shocked by Kyoto almost made Seth laugh aloud. Also those of the Uzumaki clan were famous thought the ninja world. That did not guaranty that he was a trustworthy person, but it added a few points in Seth’s book. All of his favorite heroes in history shared that clan name.  “I am Seth Lualdi and this is my teammate and fellow member of squad five, Kyoto. We are here to visit my father’s grave. It is the anniversary of his death. You are welcome to join us if you like. It will only take a second” Seth said holding his hand out to Shisou.

Kyoto makes a poutty face, turning his head away from Shizou. "We don't shake! We are starting a bond, we need to do it right!" Kyoto said while holding his fist out. "We are 'The Tenacious Duo of Konoha'! And we will be the strongest ninja!" Kyoto gives a little info on him and Seth.

Seth smiled when Shizou fist bumped him. Kyoto first started this with him and it was catching on real quick. It was symbolic of something special, trust. There was no magic behind it but it had a binding feeling to it. It was how Seth and Kyoto started and they had grown to be as close as family. Seth felt that after the fist bump that this new friendship would also grow in ways similar to the first. The fist bump was now something they all shared connecting them. 

When Shizou asked Seth and Kyoto if they would like to join his new team, Seth just smiled and held his fist out. "So how about it Kyoto, want to join as well?"

"Hahaha!!" Kyoto couldn't help but laugh. This was great, those who were around Seth and him could also form bonds. We all could become like family, as Kyoto and Seth did. Being asked by Shizuo if they'd want to join, Kyoto smiled. Then hearing his good buddy Seth asking if Kyoto would want to join and held out his fist. "I don't see why not! ;p We all will be the strongest in Konoha!" Kyoto was still believing his vow him and Seth shared, and now inviting Shizuo to vow the same. At this time putting his fist on Seth's, making enough room for another. "Yes! We will join you! Vow with us, that you too will become the strongest with us! And together, shall have all the women!"
