The raven who led the other two into the school looked around the small hallway and scoffed slightly before he glanced toward the two that were with him. They simply nodded and both of them took the lead while the raven followed behind them both. They had all just moved into town from a place called Amagakure. They had all been kicked out of their previous high school, and now they were here to terrorize this school and hopefully find some new members for their group.

"So, is there anything specific we're looking for?" The orange haired male asked. His voice was surprisingly deep and his facial expression remained unchanged.

"Just look for anyone who looks like they might actually add something to the group. I don't want to take in any slackers. Pein, Kakuzu, don't fail me." The raven in the back responded. He had a bit of a raspy voice, but it really added to his overall appearance. "We need someone who's good at hacking into computers, someone who is a perfectionist with poisons, a bombs expert, a medic, a weapons specialist, and someone who can work as another fighter. Pein, you're already our strategist, and Kakuzu, you already deal with the money." The raven crosse his muscular arms over his chest and let out an irritated sigh. Finding members was such a pain in the ass.

"Relax, Obito. We'll find these people. We may not find them all in this school though. We'll have to do some wide ranged searching. There's also a rumor of someone from this school. They say he's the last of the famous White Wolves. Three years ago, they were all killed off by an unknown group and only one kid survived." The orange haired male, known as Pein, said in a low tone.

"Oh? Well that is an interesting piece of information. However, if this person is the only one left, I doubt they'll be much of a threat to us. If we cross their path,we'll deal with them. Until that day comes, we will mostly focus on finding new members to join our group." Obito replied. He had to admit, he was fairly curious about this person who survived that attack three years ago. He wanted to know how they were still alive. It didn't make any sense. Did that mysterious group let the kid live or could they just not find them?

"There's more to that rumor, Obito." Pein suddenly said. Obito gave the orange haired male a curious look.

"There is? Well spit it out then." Obito said impatiently.

"The kid who survived...was apparently the son of the White Fang himself. The only son of Sakumo Hatake." Pein said lowly. "If that part of the rumor is true, then this guy really would be a challenge."

"Sakumo Hatake, huh? There's a name that I haven't heard for awhile but I can see why, since he's dead now. And the sole survivor of the attack was his only child?" Obito asked and Pein just nodded. That was all the information Obito needed. If someone had targeted Sakumo Hatake all those years ago, there's no way they would have purposely left that kid alive, meaning they must not have been able to find him.

"Should we keep an eye out for that guy, Obito? He should be around our age." Kakuzu said as he glanced back at their leader. "And should we take him out?"

"Keep an eye out for him, but do not harm him." Obito replied flatly. The other two nodded as they made their way into their first class, which they all had together. Later in the day, they'd be splitting up for different classes, which was no surprise to any of them. When the three of them entered the room, they instantly started scanning over all the students in the room, none of them really looked as if they'd do the group any good, but there was one particular student that caught Obito's eye. In the back of the room, sitting by the window was a student with silverish grey, spiky hair, a sharp jawline, beautiful pale looking skin, dark colored eyes, and to top it all off, a beauty mark on the bottom left corner of his mouth. That wasn't all though. As Obito continued to look the male over, his eyes fell on a particular tattoo on the male's arm. It was in the usual spot where gangs had their symbol tattooed.

"Hey guys...look at the guy in the back of the room, but make sure you do it casually." Obito whispered toward his two friends. They both gave the raven a curious look but did as they were told and took casual glances toward the male Obito was talking about. It only took them a couple of seconds before they looked back at Obito.

"He can't be…" Kakuzu muttered quietly.

"He has to be… You can see that particular tattoo, right? There's no doubt in my mind that he's the one." Obito replied as he and his two friends took their seats on the opposite side of the room.

"There's no way we'd find him that easily." Pein said as he took a seat at the desk he chose. "That was impossibly easy. Maybe he's a fake."

"No, that tattoo on his arm. He's definitely the real deal. It's obviously been there for awhile, not only that, but the same mark is also on his pants." Obito replied lowly.

"He just looks so harmless. Like, he doesn't look like he'd be a gang member at all. Are you absolutely positive that he's the one?" Kakuzu asked with a raised eyebrow.

"If you two really doubt me that much, then we'll just wait for the teacher to take attendance. Listen for his name but I'm literally one hundred percent positive that he's the real deal." Obito leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. Before his two friends could respond, the teacher entered the room, causing the entire class to fall silent. Obito's gaze returned to the male sitting in the corner of the room. He couldn't shake the feeling and it was mostly due to that tattoo on the male's arm.

A white paw print...
