Toru stared at Zaizen as he entered the office and stood off to the side before leaning quite casually against a back wall instead of sitting or standing professionally towards the center of the room when addressing his leader in an official meeting. This was not a casual lunch date after all. Toru, despite his age, was not a subordinate and he found absolutely no merit in being referred to by his given name as if they were friends or as if he were beneath the other. Red eyes stared, he listened to what the other had to say, he did not interrupt, there was no reason to. Toru was painfully patient.
Perhaps too patient.
"It may not seem immediately obvious, but this is an official meeting. If you will decline my request that you sit, then you will stand in front of me to address me, and you will address me as your leader. Not casually as you just have. I will wait for the adjustment, or you may leave." There was a pause, if Zaizen believed that Toru was having an ego trip he might think again. Toru was young, and for this reason, alone people felt it was okay to disrespect him. This would not be something he allowed, a precedent set from the beginning.
"If you choose to leave, you will be demoted to a position more fitting of your attitude." That was more of a promise than a threat. Toru did not care how this made him look. He felt no intimidation from Zaizen, nor any shinobi for the matter. He understood the other's strengths, and this was not him underestimating the other, but rather something to simply explain that this was not a situation in which one could simply show up and act as one desired without repercussions. So, Toru would wait for Zaizen. If the man adjusted, he would continue.
"My trust is tentative, however, it is I who approved your promotion to captain, so perhaps do not assume that I do not trust you. Rather that I am skeptical of your ability to perform. Your job is not to protect the village from the shadows, but to lead your unit of assassins, and to lead espionage in the country and other countries as the opportunity arises." It was not expected that Zaizen was out in enemy land every single day, but it was expected that such plans were being at the very least plotted and submitted for approval if they made sense.
The young man would look down at the scroll.
"It is doubtful that the council is withholding information from me, though if there are secrets about you that I do not already have..." Toru had more than this simple scroll in front of him after all, "You may tell me, candidly so that we may begin to build this trust you do not think I have for you."
Once again he would allow Zaizen space to respond however he desired. Though he would move on to the crux of the matter if there was nothing to respond to, only to note for the future.
"In the next few months, I expect you to have met with all of your subordinates. Evaluate them, and bring full reports to my desk. There are plenty of missions that need doing, the village has not been suffering in this regard. In failing to carry out this simple request, I will find it quite easy to find a different position more suitable for you in the village. I gave you the position of captain with the expectation that you will exceed my expectations. I hope that I will not be continuously disappointed."
