I remember the first time I was brought in front of our Hokage to be evaluated. Two shinobi dragged my unconscious body and threw me to his feet in the most ungraceful manner. A bit of darkleaf was applied to my nose and I convulsed to consciousness. Its sour pollen smell penetrated my lungs and my body tried to expel it from my system. Darkness greeted my eyes but even through the darkleafI could smell smell seven individuals a foot length away. Someone snorted loudly and said
"A dogs nose is always so fragile"
Noone said anything to assert or support that statement but I could feel an individual dismiss them all with a nod of his head. Before I could adjust myself to a more comfortable position I was jerked upright from my shirt collar to stand. From the ceiling a light was flashed directly at my face. Instantly blinding me and causing a greater pounding in my head. After a moment I looked around to confront my attackers. However the only person I ssaw was an old man clutching his cane and staring right at me. Even the man that jerked me upright was gone. At the time Danzo was not Hokage but I immediately recognized him as an elder. I dared not say a word for I this type of treatment was reserved for traitors and criminals. His presence only made it that much more important.
"Elder Danzo, surely there is an explanation. I dont entirely understand what is going on" I admitted my confusion.
"A master does not owe an explanation to his subjects" He rebuked me but I still did not understand. His tone calmly stated his sovereignty over me. So did his demeanor express a serious and important event. I stood straight while he ciircled me. Criticism rode in his gaze with his one eye judging me in the harshest manner. He revolved around me incessantly until he was satisfied and stopped right in front of me. From where I stood he towered over me in a way that enphasized his superiority over my current fragility. Staring deep into my eyes he said:
"Yasuke of the Inuzuka clan, youre life as a simple genin for the leaf village is over. You will be my eyes in the darkness. You will be the shadow that noone sees. You will be the raven that waits for its kill. From now on you will be my personal assasin. You will be my apprentice!"
