Clunk.
Clunk...
The monotonous dull thud of a mans heavy steps could be heard in the silence of the early morning. The thick heavy stone that kept the village from descending into the sand resonated the sound nicely, catching the attention of the Chuunin guards at the gate.
"State your name and purpose here!" one shouted. Never could be too careful in such tense times.
"My name?" came the response from a tall slender figure that had just stepped into view. He wore a standard black Jounin vest and pants that were wrapped from the knees down in red fighters tape. Also from the mans elbows down to his fingers were wrapped in the same tape. He had thick white hair and layed lazily on his head, laying partially in his eyes. His neck and face(up to his nose) was wrapped up snugly in a red mask that obscured his identity.
"I...want to speak...to the Kazekage..." the man said in an extremely deep voice. As he continued closer his features became more outlined. His eyes, which were the only visible part of his face, were an extremely deep blue and had dark lines underneath, an underlying symptom of sleep deprivation. Although he had a slender athletic body, his muscles were well defined in his chest and arms, as well as his legs and neck. He had the standard equipment, such as a kunai pouch on his outer thigh, nothing unusual.
"Yeah, like we'll let you in to see our lead-" was all he could say before he was forced backwards by a bonecrunching wave of chakra. He moaned as he hit the gate behind him.
"My name is Zane. Your Kazekage knows me." The man said,
"Halt, Zane!" came the familiar and fatigued voice of the Kazekage. He was standing behind Zane in the sand, looking completely and utterly unphased by the fact that he had nearly killed a chuunin.
"I thought I felt your presence. Is it really you?" The Kazekage asked.
"Its me. Its been a while." Zane wheezed as he turned around.
"Boys, can't you recognize a Sanin when you see one?"
The guards stood at attention and saluted proudly at the masked figure. This was Zane, one of the three Legendary Sanin, the strongest ninja that ever existed.
"Come inside, Zane, we have much to discuss"
