From Kuniharu 's report, Hiruzen had high hopes about the assessment his ANBU and Gai would give. Even so, he was taken aback by the effusive praise. Not uncharacteristic from Gai, but both Yugao and Aki were uncommonly positive in their reporting of Haru 's natural leadership ability. Gai 's rundown of their short altercations with the nuke-nin emphasized a quick and professional nature to his fighting. That was somewhat surprising in a nin who was raised outside of a hidden village. From the sound of it, Haru would be considered naturally gifted and highly effective even by Konoha 's higher standards in comparison to the rest of the villages.
