That had not exactly been what he had in mind, but he supposed that if it couldn’t be helped… The God of War was careful to maintain his cheerful facade, his apprehension only sparking inwardly. Certainly, he had known the risks of searching for work in this sort of world -it was a society where the mindset that it was to kill or be killed ran rampant- but he would have liked to avoid bloodshed if he could help it.
Then again, how many hadn’t spilled blood in this world? Even those who never had thirsted for it, for the sake of revenge. Innocence was scarce.
Which was one of the reasons why he had sought out this particular Kage. He had received word that this so-called Gaara of the Sand was a benevolent leader… Surely whatever order he had to give would be just, wouldn’t it?
“Kazekage-sama, as I have said, I’m at your service. I’m a wanderer who only seeks to be of aid to others. To do so only brings me great joy. So please, if you’d like me to perform missions, you are welcome to use me. I’m swift, stealthy, and quite the skilled swordsman.”
Whoaaa. He had been totally cool when he said that!! Score: Yato - 1, Gaara - 0!!
A wanderer who only seeks to be of aid to others . . .
A stranger, with no signs of the place he came back from, an unfamiliar face with intentions he firmly stated. There were very simple reasons to feel a great joy in helping others. One, the person was truly kind hearted by the core, a light in this hard and dark world. Two, the person was seeking for that light to become one with it, after being lost in the dark itself.
He was absolutely no one to judge this man, it was his job that demanded this long pause for him to decide. Wether this man was running or searching for something? If he or the village could help, then so be it.
“Is that so?” he simply said, before taking a paper and quickly began to write on it. For someone with no papers the whole admission was definitely going to be tedious but nothing that couldn’t be taken care of. Besides, the city needed people who firmly wanted to help, this was the least someone like him could do for the young man.
“Here” he said extending a couple of papers, “Find Baki, he has two distinctive, red markings on the right side of his face, the rest is covered by his head gear. Give him this letter, so he knows how to assist you. This other one is your application to fulfill and make it official so you can start working soon. I know there’s an elder lady in need to get more medicinal herbs for her shop.” he added with a more gentle gaze, as he gave him a little preview of his first mission.
“If anyone asks, just say you were sent directly from me.”
