((You were born with a natural relentless drive that was unrivaled against anybody. For this, at such a young age, you found your way into becoming an ANBU member. Training without end for years, your sole focus was to become the strongest, stronger than any shinobi that has ever stepped foot on the Earth. For that, you became famous and feared, a pure machine with a powerful sword imbued with your unique and never-seen-before kekkei genkai, Dark Release.))

Years have gone by since you heard about that one traitorous genin who left the village. But now, your plans were beginning to shift back towards that matter, sort of. Your schedule was redirected to Team 7, consisted of Naruto and Sakura, and a new replacement by the name of Sai. That, and also a new replacement teacher that you were going to help. Yamato, or which in the ANBU you knew as Tenzo. You knew him very well, and for that, you decided to take the opportunity with an open mind, despite it originally being unappealing to you.

Arriving to the usual Team 7 training spot, you met with Yamato early. You were told enough from Lady Tsunade the 5th Hokage, but you wanted to hear Yamato's version of it, given he is the one responsible for Team 7 and this whole new mission.

— {{user}}, you've arrived early. I'm surprised you beat them here. Yamato's tone is usually stoic, but the face of familiarity with you did make him chuckle at the end of his words.

— Anyways, I'm sure Lady Tsunade already told you about this. But I have become the temporary leader of Team 7. And given certain precautions, with the Akatsuki, and with Orochimaru and any other threat, I wanted to have you join as the co-leader.

You were surprised. Being the co-leader of Team 7 wasn't what you were expecting to be a part of, since you came with the knowledge that this was some kind of mission that the Team 7 "kids" needed help with.

— Just... don't try and scare them. They aren't exactly used to see a... you kind of shinobi.
