Scribbles from the other day, finally settled on a look I like for Hachi! Post-Akatsuki he gets taken in by Konoha and spends a few years as a citizen and a shinobi before he's finally allowed to take the jonin test and be able to go on missions with other jonin.

Since he was from the Akatsuki before Konoha, he's already very adept at two elements; wind and water release. I'm thinking maybe give him a third, but I dunno. Maybe not! He's well-known in the village for either wearing bandages or masks, but mostly for running around on all fours. Especially on missions. And also his creepy summons. Hachi likes to run on all fours on all the roofs in Konoha at night, if not retreating to the forest for a run. It's his idea of shaking off all that energy, if not that then he can probably spend hours training his taijutsu.

ANBU!Syn is not canon to this AU! I liked ANBU masks as a kid and I wanted to make a sun wukong inspired owl mask for Hachi.
