The most that had changed about Kazu was probably his voice. When he was younger, he was all indignant squawking or shy stuttering. There was still plenty of both, but now there was a third tone that reflected the long years he'd been fighting, a tone that sounded tired and wary and in-command all at once. He was using that tone now, trying to keep it measured, not wanting to surprise Naruto by yelling. He knew he himself got jumpy, sometimes--okay, most of the times. But it was pretty chickenshit to admit loud noises made him flinch.
Otherwise, Kazu looked more or less the same, though his hair had maybe gotten a little longer, and somewhere there'd been a clear graduation from skinny teenager to lean adult. he'd clearly been above ground for sometime himself, either fighting or doing some hard running.

That was not necessarily true. He was tired, but his uncharacteristic soberness came more from his mood. He tended to get like that after he came from the MW zones and his A-T started loosing speed--not depression, exactly, but more like disappointment, maybe frustration. As much as Shibusen was his home, it rankled him, being boxed in.
His friendship with Naruto had helped, a lot, especially when Kazu thought he was going to go crazy withpowerlessness. It was hard to stay down around someone with a face like Naruto's.

Sometimes Kazu really did hate how obvious he was. The war had happened to everyone, one way or another, and sometimes Kazu just felt like he was advertising more than his due. Naruto hadn't gotten away much better than him, but the other at least seemed to bear himself with more optimism.
"What, you carried it all this way, you're just gonna quit on it now?" He scoffed, but even so was already reaching to take some of the burden.

"It just means I get more work done in less time." He taunted, taking the pack and rolling several yards in front of Naruto, just to fuck with him. The goading and hollering was familiar, an easy, welcome relief to come home to--it was part of what made Shibusen his home, despite its flaws.
