Konoha Genin - Team 2[/b][/center]

Following closely behind Kiyomi, Hayate brought his thoughts to the mission ahead. He had already gotten off to a poor start by arriving late, and he had no wish to make a worse impression to his new team, even if he had prior experience with them. Kiyomi's mention of their combat capabilities brought Hayate's attention back to the present and he looked up, just catching her eyes as she looked away. His thoughts now clouded, Hayate barely heard Kiyomi's next words. As she asked whether or not they had any objections, Hayate responded. [b]"No Kiyomi-sama. Will we be splitting up when we arrive?"[/b]

Noticing that they were exiting the boundaries of the village, Hayate tried to bring his thoughts under control once again. He kept his gaze ahead, keeping pace with the others. He was excited for this mission, he only hoped that he would be able to keep his thoughts on it, and not get distracted. He wasn't worried so much about the stealth element of this mission, nor did he doubt his teammates skills. Hayate's only real concern was how they would all work together. It had been awhile since he had had a chance to train with either of them, and Hayate knew it would take awhile to work out all of the kinks. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts Hayate chastised himself. This doubt, it wasn't like him. Looking forward he locked his gaze momentarily on Kiyomi. He hadn't been the same since - - Now was not the time to be thinking of the past. Hayate returned his gaze to the path ahead and focused on moving forwards.
