The night was filled with nothing but emptiness, something that Sensato liked the most in nights like these. He just simply likes to watch the empty sky and always wonder whats after the things he sees. His body was motionless in the floor, with his hands below the back of his head for support. Again it was one of those days in kumo where he felt alone. He didnt like to make a lit of friends but one that would stay by him at all cost would be just enough.

There he laid a young man dressed in normal attire that being a white t shirt with the uchiha symbol on his back and some black shorts. His long black hair as always tied up with a metal band around it into a sinhle ponytail while a single hair bang came down the right side of his face. The young man smiled even though he was alone, it all will change with time. He left konoha making him a Missing Ninja to his village to come to the land of lightning to learn new ways aswell as to start a new life as a shinobi of kumogakure.

"Soon...everything will change...those who I admire the most will be below me...i will find a way to become strong." Were the words hse spoke of aloud before remaining silent as he laid back. His eyes slowly began to close.

The park was somberly lit one could say. Whether it was due to the uncannily ridiculously empty sky unlike that found in the village hidden in the clouds or because one of the lightbulbs was broken, who was to know. Although Robin was no electrician or laborer by trade, he was well aware of how mechanisms such as these worked. It was his pasttime, his hobby to learn about everything he possibly could and this was something he had more than performed the theory on, however wasn't able to put it into practical use. 'Mhm.. Doesn't seem like anyone else is around, I'll give it a shot' Robin thought to himself as he reached down into the box where the post of the light sat and pulled out the spare fuse and resistors. He knew that these both needed to be working and no breaking of the circuit must occur, so he unscrewed the lamp part of the light post and removed the blown bulb. Surely enough, the fuse and resistors were all blown and with swift movements replaced the problem. He then climbed back up the post, screwed the lightbulb back in and slid back to the main electricity box. If he remembered correctly, all that was left to make it work was a kickstart of electricity - an element he was enlightened with. He touched the copper leads and ignited them with very basic lightning chakra. Surely enough, the whole park was flooded with the newly revitalized light and the pitch of the night had its edge removed. Robin closed the box and turned away to continue his evening walk.

He had always preferred the evenings for alone and self-indulgence time; it was where peace could be made externally with the lack of people present and could rekindle the inner peace, an aspect every human should hold dearly. However, this particular evening was not to be the case. Upon turning around from the light post, he noticed the faint figure of a man laying down. He wore an illuminated white shirt thanks to the light yet was so well blended with his dark shorts. Robin kicked himself for not noticing this person. However, he thought that maybe he was in the clear as this person was virtually motionless and fairly concealed behind several bushes. It wasn't until he heard the faintest of words come from the person's mouth that he kicked himself for letting his guard down so easily. Yet, he approached. Donning his usual ninja attire except for his headband, consisting of his grey ninja shirt, black leggings, bandaged wrists and ankles; Robin covered the few meters between the two. The person, or boy rather with his eyes closed seemed rather agitated yet peaceful. So Robin did the not-so-smart thing and attempted to converse. 'Ahem', he cleared his throat, 'Are you alright there matey?'. He spoke confidently and caring, hoping to not give the wrong impression to this boy. He stood over the boy, awaiting a response.

As night rolled in Dansen had decide to stay at the park to tend to the small animals that had made their homes in the trees and undergrowth, small birds landed on Dansen's shoulder and chirpped happily as he played with them. It seemed out of place for him to have such an affection for such creatures but though small and seemingly weak they had a certain hidden power to them and their unity that made Dansen feel closer to them. Besides he had never been good at meeting people he was more focused on finding someone to stand agansit him as a rival, a goal for Dansen to aspire to would be to beat said rival, yet he had no luck in finding anyone who was anything more than a bunch of hot air. Still the relaxing stillness of the night gave a certain peace to the surroundings, the clear sky was uncommon in Kumo to be expected but the serenity of night had given Dansen a chance to relax before training, these time were few and far between as rarely did Dansen stop to rest if it could be time better spent training. But just this once, with the many critters around did Dansen have a expierence of fleeting peace as he thought to himself "This.... This is pretty good just the way it is."

Suddenly the peaceful darkness was met with the sting of artifical light, the blinding enviroment caused the small creatures around to flee in fear, Dansen himself was caught unawares and was at first blinded by the strong light until his eyes had readjusted and he was left in the semi-darkness alone. He stood up and brushed himself off turning out to the path of the park and looked around for the source of the ungodly light, as he had expected the streetlamps were on, how this happened was strange, Dansen was sure he had seen the fuse box blow a fuse when he entered the park, seemingly from a freak act of nature, but now the lights were shining annoyingly bright, no worker would come this late at night... The cause was not obvious until Dansen noticed another figure the figure wore darker clothes not unlike Dansen's attire at this point, but he was headed over away from the path he had seemingly taken up until this point.

This piqued Dansen's interest enough to being walking towards the other figure, slowly he walked towards the still rather blurry figure without any hesitance, "A weak man is hesitant a smart man is cautious" Words his father said to him, their message still strong even now never to hesitate for anything but to push forward without doubt of what would come next, Dansen used them now to assure what little there was in him that had doubt of the mystery person's intentions that worrying would get him nowhere quick. As Dansen grew closer he heard the voice of the mystery man, or at least mystery teen from his voice seemingly talking to a unseen person 'Are you alright there matey?' Dansen waited until the guy either noticed him or he saw what this new boy was doing hoping to avoid any problems from misunderstandings.

Sensato was finally in a peaceful state. His mind was rather calm and carefree of the world surrounding him. He was clearly falling to sleep, never really caring or thinking of the problems he could face this time a night. For a sudden moment he heard footsteps approaching him making him jump on his both legs in a fast motion where he stood in front of the intruder as he may call it. Before he could een speak he calmed down at the sight of what it seemed to be another fellow genin. He watched carefully the guy with interest before his thoughts were cut off by the words of the teen. "Are you alright there matey?" the words were not harmful nor a critic. Sensato smiled and chuckled at the kid. "You sure scared the hell out of me." Sensato said before sitting back down to the floor on his rear. He looked at the guys appearance which was a simple gray shirt and black leggings.

"Why don't you sit down?" Sensato said as ge pointed down to the floor. He wasnt one that would invite nobody but the fact that he was alone making friends would be the best idea. Just as he invited the guy in front of him another appeared. Sensato had rather sharp eyes but didnt noticed this one since the start. He watched how the other person just stood there and wstched as if waiting to be invited. Sensato smiled to him and waved at him. "Hey you why dont you come over and sit down with us aswell?" Said inviting the other guy to come close to atleast see his face.

The boy seemingly stood up in a fright, then sat down as if nothing had happened. Robin got the impression that this boy felt at ease around him, which was a rarity for meeting a stranger much like what had happened. The person appeared to chuckle and then proclaim his fright for Robin's appearance in this park. Hell, Robin shouldn't have even be in this particular park at all - it just so happened that his services could have been used in repairing the park light and he had to stumble upon this person. Furthermore, the boy was friendly to Robin inviting him to take a seat on the grass where he was. Robin would have, had it not been for the presence of the figure behind him. The human body as a weird knack of being able to tell if possible danger is around. Subtle things like the hairs standing up, the eyes flickering of both himself and this friendly person just signs suggesting something was up. "I would sit down, if it weren't for the guy behind me trying to creep up on us." Robin said which drew both of their attentions to him.

Furthermore, the friendly boy had the decency to invite even him over to take a seat. What is this kid playing at, Robin thought to himself as he awaited for this new person to make a move. The light stood behind this new person and created a dark silhouette, shrouding his face and making him suspicious. Robin felt uneasy and instinctively crouched down onto one knee, placing his hand firmly on the ground mere centimeters from his leg and the concealed dagger. Robin then spoke again but in a more commanding tone, "Yeah why don't you take a seat with us as well instead of standing there all mysteriously. You know it gives a bad impression when it appears like you're going to hurt someone." He had hoped this would allow the three of them to break the ice and in effect see what this new person's intentions were.

The two figures Dansen had tracked down were rather different in what they said as they both caught sight of him, The first was the seemingly younger of the two, the boy was from what Dansen could see friendly to the point of stupidity, he could be anyone but the boy was simply willing to trust that he was a friendly, from here neither could see Dansen's headband which he had on his belt due to the light shining down on him causing a dark silhouette over his face and onto the rest of his front. Either this boy was aware of Dansen being no threat, or more likely he was to green to distrust his surroundings. The other boy had a more appropriate reaction, as Dansen looked at him slowly crouch the other teen turned to him and said "Yeah why don't you take a seat with us as well instead of standing there all mysteriously. You know it gives a bad impression when it appears like you're going to hurt someone." Dansen scoffed at this presumption, he raised his head so as to show the boy what his problem was,"You can talk big when you are looking to strike at me aren't you?" Dansen's eyes were sharp enough to see the guy had taken up a position in the darkness and as Dansen had said those words he took up a Kunai from his pack and threw it upwards towards the light he was bathing under.

The shot hit its mark and the bulb shattered as the kunai fell to a patch of grass and darkness had engulfed the immediate area with only the light from a few rows down shining into the immediate night. as the glass hit the ground and Dansen looked down at the two again he proclaimed out to them "Which one of you turned on these lights?" Dansen waited for an answer for either one of them, he knew his response to this may have been a bit extreme but he was angered at whoever caused him to lose the enjoyment of relaxing that he had missed for quie a few months, but it also allowed him to gauge the nervousness of the one prepared to attack and the reaction that the younger boy would have to it as well.

Sensato nodded with a faint smile at the words the first individual had said to the other one. Even though he was offering his friendliness to them didn't exactly meant he thrusted either one of the individual. Plenty of thoughts came across his mind, whether he would plan on staying on the floor or become a little more cautious with the two. Little did the first person knew, his words simply altered the situation making the other make a suspicious movement. Sensato wasnt sure whether the other was an ally or an opponent up to this point, he only knew he had to do something.

With little to no movement the young Sensato did what he was thought to do in these situations. Soon as the other pulled kunai he pulled one out aswell simply for precaution. Though Dansen simply burst the light bulb that gave almost to no light to the area making the area even darker than what it had begun as. "I suggest you calm down. I don't know whether i should take you as an intruder or a comrade. Either way not showing your face its not a good way to start things." Sensato said as he watched the other by him. He was clearly unease at the moment and even the slightest movement would trigger his instincts to protect himself. He could see nothing of the person only the dark silhoutte of him, this time he would have to go to another level if needed to be. With his had holding the kunai just below his chin he stood and waited.

"You can talk big when you are looking to strike at me aren't you?" Robin understood from the lips of the one shrouded in darkness. This showed what kind of an inflated ego the person before him had and the fact he was indeed a ninja, recognizing and countering stance immediately. Robin's assumptions were proven when he watched as the figure took a kunai from his pack, Robin's hand was already at the hilt of his dagger in preparation. Instead of launching an attack however, he simply threw it up and smashed the light-bulb completely. All of what was Robin's task not five minutes ago twiddled away with the broken circuit. "Which one of you turned on these lights?" the question was posed to the pair.

Robin then took to opening him mouth and answering, "The lights were already turned on, however were not in operation to produce light - who made them produce the light that you just disrupted, well that would be me; the atmosphere was and currently is too gloomy for my liking. Especially if I can't see if your face." And if you don't like the light.. well then I am truly sorry. Robin performed a single, unique handseal in the shadows of his crouched position and the exposed skin immediately began lighting up. Robin was producing only a few hertz less light than a typical lightbulb and effectively light the area up once again. This in turn illuminated the figure up more than enough to see clear definition. Hair as black as the night, silvery reflective eyes and attire to match - don't forget the hitae-ate of the same village and genin kit by his waist. This ninja in front of them was nothing more than he was, and as it would turn out, the person who was still on the ground who had unsheathed his own kunai. All three of them were on the exact same playing terms so to speak.

"As I expected.." Robin proclaimed confidently, "You're talking yourself up too much for a comrade of the same village. It would be unwise to make a commotion in this here park. " Robin wanted the situation to less and nullify as there was no need for it. Robin even stood up and held his palms out, as if to show peace to the ninja; however the fact he was still glowing could send this ninja to even more unease. Caution, and patience would be on Robin's side.

Dansen looked to the one who answered his question, the darkness obscured his vision a bit but he could tell it was the older one of the two through voice alone. He spoke up and apologised for the light as well as going through the long explanation of why he turned on the lights and why the lights were not already producing light.... It was clear this guy had a more than passing interest in the technological aspect of these lights, Dansen made no move to go any closer to the two and as the apologetic one had finished Dansen said "Its not that I don't like the light, but it disturbed the wildlife and sent them running, you can understand why I'd wanna help those startled animals right?" Dansen said his last question in a rhetorical sense he wasn't expecting an answer.

Then as soon as he finished the other guy suddenly started...Glowing. He made enough light to illimunate the area and as he did he and the other boy became a lot less blurry in the dark something that helped Dansen's eyes a great deal, the other boy would notice Dansen now smiling in the light of his own body as he said "That's a neat trick, you must really be a hoot at parties..." Dansen found the ability to glow rather underwhelming overall but still obviously not something that any normal Ninja could do. As Dansen looked on the glowing ninja stood up and held out his hand saying "You're talking yourself up too much for a comrade of the same village. It would be unwise to make a commotion in this here park." Dansen smile turned from one of amusement to one of sly enjoyment "Unwise? That sounds like a challenge to me.... What's your name? or should I just call you 'Glow ninja'?" Dansen stood leaning on the pole waiting for an answer, he didn't have anything aganist the guy in front of him but he always felt the best way to learn about a person is through the way they fought, and if the guy was up to it Dansen would relish in a challenge.

Sensato's guard went down as he heard the tone of the other ninja and his explanation, it seemed sincere to the young ninja even still he kept his guard up. "You seem very worried about the animals....or is that one of your acts to seem kind in front of others?" Sensato smiled and scratched his head with doubt in the words of the other genin. Just as he ended his question the guy in front of him made a comment of his own and thus began to glow. Sensato retreated a little backwards at the sight of the genin. He wasnt impressed but was as always cautious. He looked the genin with confusement but remained quiet.

Hearing both of the genins comments it seemed this conversation was gong downhill when the last genin proposed a spar. "It seems this conversation is not going well. " Sensato chuckled a bit as he added himself to the party. He wasnt ready to spar as he had no primary weapons to use but still had his basic weapons to defend himself with. "If a spar is what you going after, is a spar i will join." Sensato said as he smiled and remained with a kunai on hand. And with a single step forward to join the circle his eyes turned red while a single tomoe appeared around his black pupil.
