Ieyasu. Ieyasu failed the one job he gave himself, to get strong and protect the village. Keldran was gone. Again. Again, Ieyasu was left behind and with no say in the matter. The past few days of life had been a personal hell for the young man, stuck in his own mind as he sat in his bedroom with his back against the wall.

The first step to getting out of the abyssal trenches he had dug for him was broken now, and he simply slid back in. There was only one reason Ieyasu had to get up or do anything at this point, he had a mission he was assigned this morning to find a missing Anbu. It didn't matter though, he'd crush whatever came across his path be it friend or foe in this matter. Slowly he got up, affixing his gaze to the window looking outside and taking note of how early it was. His dead, mute expression seemingly making not even a twitch as his mind accounted for little things like this.

He moved over to his dresser and pulled out a few things, after a little bit he began to pull out the clothes he'd wear for the journey. After setting everything up on the counter of the dresser he turned over to his closet and opened it up. Within wasn't much, Ieyasu didn't hold many material possessions; what he did have however was an essential part to his identity as an Akimichi. Hung up on the wall were collective pieces of armor, they were in good condition and held little to no imperfections given what little usage they had until Ieyasu became a chūnin and was to be sent out on more dangerous missions than what he'd already been in.

It consisted of a happuri, a breastplate with the kanji '食' embellished onto it with a crimson paint, a pair of sode, and lastly being some forearm and knee protectors. He took all these with him and laid them out near his clothes before dressing himself. First and foremost was a black undershirt and over that being the breast plate, the forearm guards, and the sode which were all yet to be colored with the exception of the embellishing earlier mentioned of the breastplate. With this he next put on a matching pair of black pants that were overlain at the lower regions with the shin guards. Before walking from his room, Ieyasu made sure to put on his geta and then leave his house.

As he walked before the front door, he gave himself a bit of pause as he raised both of his hands up to his face to place on his happuri with the sigil of Konoha cut into it. The plates running down the large, young man's cheeks only somewhat covered his facial markings.With one last breath, he pushed aside the paper doors in front of him and left.

With that, Ieyasu was on his way to the others so that they could finally get this thing going. As he paced through town, he could only be seen walking in the place betwixt light and darkness. The little alleyways between the bustle of the village so he could snake his way through the village. There were some pathways throughout Konoha's village that even some shinobi didn't know of.

With the use of these, Ieyasu seemed to walk from nowhere as he arrived at the gate that the group would be leaving from. He looked over to the others with the same expression he had been holding since the beginning of his day, it seemed a strange mix between apathy and anger.

"I'm Ieyasu Akimichi, leader of this ad hoc squad. Now that we've got that in mind, let's move out."

Ieyasu turned around before beginning to walk, tilting his head a little low. He'd probably be silent for the most part of the journey there until they began to arrive at the general area of their assignment. Once there, then that would be the time to kick into action and begin talking of strategy. At least that's what Ieyasu thought, he had never been a leader like this before.
