Paperwork.

[Uchiha Keiichi]

Keiichi's onyx eyes focused intently on his paperwork, appearing relaxed yet alert for any threats. He brushed a few strands of black hair out of his eyes and glanced around the office, taking in the earthy colors, piles of papers and many scrolls and books. Shifting on his chair, he returned to his paperwork boredly.

[Uchiha Sasuke]

Sasuke knocks on the door of the office.

[Uchiha Keiichi]

Keiichi's head raised lazily. He made a lightning clone without the use of handseals which went over and opened the door.

"Yo, who is...who are you?"

[Uchiha Sasuke]

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha...."

[Uchiha Keiichi]

The clone instantly vanished and Keiichi stood immediately.

"Uchiha...? I thought there were none left, I was always told that they were all dead...if you're telling the truth, then we are cousins. My name is Uchiha Keiichi. Please come in immediately, you're always welcome here."

[Uchiha Sasuke]

"I didn't think there were any left eather. I thought my brother killed them all." He walks in.

[Uchiha Keiichi]

"My father and mother, though blood Uchihas, never manifested the Sharingan. I never had that problem, luckily. Your brother...Itachi, I assume. My scouts told me you killed each other...clearly they were wrong. Have a seat and relax."

[Uchiha Sasuke]

"Yes... we have not killed each other. He is in the Akatsuki, and I have yet to find them." He says as he sits down in a chair.

[Uchiha Keiichi]

"All resources I have will be yours if you agree to join Kumo, Sasuke. We'll help you find him, and once you kill him...you can rebuild the Uchiha clan here, as the clan head, if you wish. Your only mission...would be to find and kill Itachi, and we would provide training and everything else you need. If you'd like, I'll even personally teach you my advanced techniques that even Itachi doesn't know about."

[Uchiha Sasuke]

"Thank you... I would be honored to join Komo."

[Uchiha Keiichi]

"Very good! I officially, then, grant you the rank of Sannin, so you can move as you please."

He presented Sasuke with a Kumo hitai-ate, chuckling.

"I ask that once you kill your brother, you work as my second in command, with authority within the village second only to mine. You will, of course, be observed by me if only to prove that you'll be loyal, but we do that for everyone. We're cousins, though, so I assume that it won't be a problem."

[Uchiha Sasuke]

"Very well. When do we start searching?"

[Uchiha Keiichi]

"Well, whenever you wish. If you'd like to learn some new techniques to be better prepared, we can do that too if you want."

[Uchiha Sasuke]

"Alright. I guess learning new techniques would be better first off."

[Uchiha Keiichi]

"As you wish. Follow me, Sasuke."

He walked out calmly.

[Uchiha Sasuke]

"Alright." Sasuke follows him.
