No formal letter, no official summons – just a private conversation shrouded in secrecy. Before Shō could gather his thoughts and seek clarity, the enigmatic figure vanished into thin air, leaving him confused and bewildered. Thankfully, he had a week to think about his response. [break][break][break] Hunter-nin, a term exclusive to Kirigakure, referred to a team akin to the ANBU in other countries. However, unlike the ANBU, they were embroiled in far bloodier and perilous missions, befitting their name as "Hunters" The allure of this prestigious role, with its potential for garnering reputation and experience, seemed like a dream come true, especially as his clan had high expectations for him to bring glory back to their name. [break][break][break] Yet, Shō was far from excited about the prospect. Why? Well, it was because he had never been fond of violence. Fighting and taking lives as a Hunter-nin clashed with his pacifist personality. It was akin to a vegetarian being forced to consume meat every single day… Maybe that was not the best analogy but you get the gist. The distress it could cause him was unimaginable. [break][break][break] The decision to simply decline the invitation seemed like an easy solution, but life is rarely that black and white. Rejecting this opportunity would still bind him to the responsibilities of a Chunin, which involved fighting as well, though likely with less intensity compared to the role of a Hunter-nin. [break][break][break] Moreover, the thought of being treated as an outcast by the clan elders for turning down such a promising chance to elevate their status also weighed heavily on his mind. However, what troubled him most was the knowledge that other clan members would be invited to fill the position, considering that all Gure were born with a stealthy ability due to their innate kekkei genkai. It might even include his own sister. The thought of her taking part in such violent pursuits gave him pause. [break][break][break] Contemplating his options, Shō gazed up at the vast expanse of the bright blue sky. A moment of introspection lingered before he finally set his mind on seeking advice from more seasoned shinobi at the academy. Perhaps, amidst the wisdom of those with experience, he would find the clarity and guidance he needed to navigate this intricate and life-altering decision.
