In A Group Member--
What do you contribute in a group activity? I’m intelligent and hard-working. I have a tendency to put work before myself, which often ends in pain for me but means everything is done to the very best of my ability. I’m a quick thinker with a gift for strategy and manipulation.
Why would you join a group such as the Akatsuki? Just for something to do. I hate being bored.
What type of person is your ideal partner? Someone who is strong and independent, but knows when something can’t be done alone and is willing to cooperate.
What is one thing you would strongly object to if your boss/leader asked you to do something? I wouldn’t kill in front of a child. To do so would be to steal their innocence, and a child’s innocence is something to be treasured. If kids have to be involved they must be the first to die, preferably without warning so they aren’t scared.
What goal would you have as a member of the Akatsuki? To gain strength for strength’s sake. I’m not interested in wealth or power, or anything like that.
Scenario-Time
You're one-on-one against Naruto. You're supposed to capture him to retrieve the Kyuubi from his body. How do you go about bringing him to your leader? I’m skilled at manipulating others, and Naruto’s not exactly known for intelligence. I could easily get him to willingly put himself in a position where he’s vulnerable.
Your partner is the opposite of your ideal type. However, you're stuck with them - no amount of talking with the leader will get them away from you. How do you handle this? That sort of person would be pretty useless, so I’d just find a way to ditch them and go on alone.
You're surrounded by three Chuunin and their leader (a Jounin). They appear to be really good at teamwork and you're completely alone. What do you do? It depends on if they want me caught or killed. If it’s a fight to the death they want, then I’ll fight as long as I have the strength. If I die I’m taking as many as possible with me. If they want me alive - and I can’t lie my way out of the situation - I’ll surrender and allow myself to be captured. I would already have created an escape plan just in case and shared it with a group member who could help me, and being held in my enemy’s stronghold makes it easy upon my escape to steal items or information, or to assassinate key people.
You've messed up you're fifth mission. Completely failed it. Even got badly injured during it. How do you hope your leader treats you and what do you tell them when you return from your failed mission? I won’t return a failure. If completing the mission is no longer possible I will find some other way to further the group’s plans before I go back. I look more delicate than I am; thanks to that and my injuries I could get a stranger to take pity on me and help me while I healed. My apparent weakness would actually serve me well if I were to act as a spy or thief. I don’t easily accept failure myself, but I hope I would be forgiven if I were to return with valuable objects or information.
You finally find out that the goal of the Akatsuki is something you're completely against -- how do you react? Leave. Get as far as I can, settle into a quiet life, and hope they decide there’s no reason to try to kill me - having to be on guard all the time would get annoying. I won’t try to interfere with what they’re doing, but I won’t be part of it either; if I’m doing something I don’t want to that means I’m allowing someone to control me, and that I will never do.
Anything else? Can’t think right now, too hot. Stupid summer.
