Drabble Forty-Eight: Silent (130)

Pairing: None. Shino-centric

Warning: Shino's turn! Yay! Slightly confusing, if you will. And short. But, hey, Shino's a tough character to type. Even if he has a last name and part of a great clan, he isn't really all that, you know, flashy…

Shinobi Set: 2 of 8: Shino

He didn't talk.

No, that wasn't true. He spoke at times, but each instance was few and far between. He didn't mind though. To be a great shinobi, one must have stealth. To have stealth, one must be silent.

And he was a great shinobi.

He adjusted his sunglasses with a flick of his hand, covering more of his face. A shinobi must also be able to blend into the environment.

A buzz alerted him to the return of his insect, its body flushed red. "Are you finished?" he asked as the bug landed on his out-stretched finger. It immediately sounded a response and, behind the wide collar, the ninja nodded.

And at times, a shinobi must understand that shadows can't slide under door cracks to get to their target.
