Well done, Ken.

Shadow would appear in front of Ken with a vortex closing behind him. He would have a smile on his face, but strangely, the smile revealed peace not anger or hostility. He would place a scroll on his desk before him.

"Sign it, Ken. You're being promoted to Sanin. For the successful completion of that Class-X Mission I gave you a little while ago. You really deserve it too. Congratulations."

-Ken would look up from a book he was reading and raise an eyebrow. Since when was Shadow ever this nice? Was he even being sincere or was he playing with him..? Opening and reading the scroll, Ken would rub his forehead in shock.-

In honor of Ken Aburame, I, Shadow Uchiha promote you to the prestigious and extremely elite Sanin group. You will have a significantly higher responsibility to protect the Village and take on as Kage if I, Shadow Uchiha ever fail to preform my duties as Kage or can no longer provide for Elysium. Congratulations! What an honor!

Sign: _____________

"You're not joking.. are you, Shadow..? I don't know why I am getting this honor, to be frankly honest.. This mission was easy. No one came to take the vial.. and its still there!"

Shadow's grin would get even wider as he tapped on the part of the scroll where Ken needed to sign.

"Actually. I took it a few hours ago, but it was there and untouched since I gave it to you. It was very important and you still completed your mission. So. Sign."

-Signing the Scroll, Ken would look up at Shadow and smile. This was big for him and it was big for Elysium too. He thought to himself: Maybe I'll take someone under my wing like Shadow did with me..?-

"Thanks, Shadow.."

Shadow would roll up the scroll and put it into his cloak. Eyeing down Ken, Shadow would fold his arms.

"I expect you be as strong as I am or stronger. Elysium needs a dominant leader. Do not disappoint me, Ken."

Walking to the doors, Shadow would smile and disappear in a vortex.
