OOC: I’m sorry for not posting much sooner. I’ve been waiting for Saito to post this whole time, but I just found this post today here. It states that he won’t be back until january. Sorry to keep you waiting.
"Aye. Daigo is my younger cousin. He’s not too much like me, I’m afraid. He’s mentally ill like my uncle Dashi, whom also happened to serve Kumogakure as a cloud Anbu. Daigo suffers from antisocial personality disorder. It’s very hard for him to develop emotional connections and in the past he used to violate people’s rights without consideration for others. ", he said. It was clear that Daisuke was holding back the rest of the information, but in his own defense, he wanted his cousin to have a fresh start without being discriminated against by the branch heads.
"According to my medical textbooks and based off years of experience, I’m well aware of his illness. Antisocial personality disorder is a type of chronic mental condition in which a person's ways of thinking, perceiving situations and relating to others are dysfunctional — and destructive. People with antisocial personality disorder typically have no regard for right and wrong and often disregard the rights, wishes and feelings of others. Those with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others either harshly or with callous indifference. They may often violate the law, landing in frequent trouble, yet they show no guilt or remorse. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use. These characteristics typically make people with antisocial personality disorder unable to fulfill responsibilities related to family, work or school. He lives with that as well as his depression.", he thought before repeating the information aloud. The sad fact was that mental illness ran on both sides of his family. Substance abuse was usually the triggered it. Antisocial personality disorder and depression were only the general terms for his illness. If anyone were to make further inquiries, they’d be informed that more specially that Daigo was a high functioning sociopath and dealt with psychotic depression.
"Daigo is a good man despite all this. He went un-diagnosed for many years due to his neglectful parents, but eventually got the help he needed. In fact, he has been going to psychotherapy for many years as well as taking the proper medication for his psychotic depression. He was a blacksmith then joined the medic corps in the army as well. He just needs an opportunity to prove himself." he added. Daigo was to be Daisuke sole heir should he die. This lead Daisuke to give both his comrades a final letter.
"Hey guys. This is a letter from me should something happen. Okay. I've been getting my affairs in order recently and decided to write a few letters to some friends giving my last words to you all. This is for the both of you.", he said.

Daisuke's Letter:
A letter from Daisuke said:Dear Hayata Shin & Akira Saito,
I hope you and your respective families are well. If you are reading this letter then it means I am no longer of this world. I dare not speculate as to how I passed on. Perhaps I fell in battle, died from an incurable illness, or somehow managed the impossible and died of old age. Regardless of the circumstances, I know you will continue to keep the village in good standing, to the best of your ability. As these are my last requests as your old friend, I ask that you please consider them wholeheartedly.
First, It is my wish that you support Kitsune as she transitions into the medical branch sennin. Immediate appointment to senninship is rather difficult and she could use a support system. Ya know, a place where everyone else understand what she’s going through. I have complete trust in her ability to run the branch and ask that you support her as well. Second, I request that you allow my cousin, Kaguya Daigo, the opportunity to prove himself should he request to join the anbu ranks. I believed we’ve discussed this already. I have a strong suspicion that the medic and main branches won’t suit him at all. However, I beg of you to keep him occupied with clerical duties and responsibilities. I have no wish for him to become a field operative nor join the raikage’s guard and shadow Shin around all day. This is for Shin's protection. He would need much more competent guard than my cousin could ever be. I beg the both of you to keep Daigo within the village walls as much as possible, please. Years have proven that he still acts out every now and then, usually in the form of committing crimes. Knowing him, he would never break kumo rules, but anywhere outside kumogakure might be seen as fair game to him. Now onto business with the medical branch.
Should you ever find yourself in need of doing business with members of the medical branch, know that there are four comrades from my branch with which you can do business. You've already been informed about Kitsune, but you should also know that she is an amazing surgeon (both in general and kinjutsu surgery) as well as an excellent chemist. Experienced in medical research, tutoring, psychology and biology, you can't go wrong when asking for her services. Believe me when I say there is a reason why she is the head of the branch. Come to her with anything you need and she will accommodate you to the best of her ability. She is no push over, mind you so make sure that you come correct or heads will roll. Next, Suzaku Keiji is the head of the harvesters and can assist any anbu who wish to gain a kinjutsu or if an anbu is dying and you need to retrieve the kinjutsu. He is another excellent surgeon and chemist. From first aid to trauma, he's your man. Shin, Keiji can also help you with any kinjutsu you want as well. Higa Kahako is the head if the Sentou Henken division. Skilled in psychology and medical combat training, she will be of great assistance to you. She and others like her will be working together in collaboration with the anbu corps to fortify the mental strength as well as the physical health of our branches. They can also act as med evac during tough missions. Keeping around an anbu guard with medic skills is a great bonus, Shin. Lastly is my student, Tsuyoshi Junko. He will soon be a great biologist as well as a great medical ninja. He's skilled in biology, first aid, and medical combat training as well as an aspiring surgeon. He would be a great addition to any squad. Watch over him and guide him if he strays from the path. He will be a valuable ally to befriend. Now, I must ask that you both keep an eye on and possibly tutor my pupils if they so desire it. I recruited two other medics in training prior to my passing: Hyuuga Mirame and Sadoku Akuma. Lastly, I understand that my body will be harvested because of the kinjutsu that I possess. I have, however, made a last will and testament where I have expressed a desire that my body be released to my cousin, Kaguya Daigo, in the event of my death. Please see that this is done.
Now that we’ve gotten all that business out of the way, we can get to the real letter. To Saito and Shin, I thank you both for your wonderful years of friendship. I remember coming up with both of you and it was my pleasure to serve by your sides while at the disposal of Kumogakure. Never have I met such honorable and kindhearted men prior to my coming here. You both represent an excellent era in our history, when the days seemed endless and the joy seemed eternal. We had our share of bad days however, like when Sarunishi falsely proclaimed himself Raikage or when he killed my mental ill uncle whom at the time had suffered a mental breakdown. We’ve encountered such things like the demon invasion, the anbu uprising, and other strange events that occurred during our time here. Still, we survived and lived through it all. We have both, directly or indirectly, influenced and guided a generation. You both stand as pillars in the village.
Shin, your message and love and peace shows that you are not a tyrant, but a beloved man that desires neither war nor suffering. Seldom do we find an all-powerful Raikage that is not tempted to go to war, especially with a godly like army behind them. Thankfully, you’re not a tyrant. Saito, your role as a former sennin of the anbu branch has helped to excel the training of the troops and push the limits of operations all throughout Lightning country. Your example has led to the deterrence of major threats before they even became known to the public. It was both an honor and a privilege to serve with you both and it was my pleasure to call you both my friends. May lord raiden blanket you both with a blessing forever lasting. May your families continue to expand and flourish for an eternity. May you both be protected and should you meet your end earlier than expected, then make sure you die in service to this village. Gentlemen, I bit you farewell!
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read what are to be my last words. I thank you for all you have done and for being so loyal to me through this transition. I have never trusted many people, but you are one of a select few. I wish you the best of luck in all your servitude to Kumogakure.
Forever a sincere and humble servant of Kumogakure,
Kaguya Daisuke
