Naruto madness!

Tunade glared at Takashi. He wasn't old enough to call her without suffix. "I don't see any problem with Akira going on this mission. Ritsuko can protect her well. This mission is easy for her." She said the peered at Ritsuko expecting her to admit.
 
Ritsuko shrugged her shoulders as the suggestion to bring some genin along was put forward. On one hand, it would provide a good cover, should tensions erupt on a diplomatic level. Ritsuko could claim it was just a simple training mission in such a circumstance. On the other hand, if things went south militarily... then the trainee shinobi would present an unnecessary risk. It was a double-edged sword, to be sure. "Sure. The kids can come along. It'll be good for them to get some REAL training. Not like the basic labor we've been known to make them do here." Of course, she was referring to the menial tasks often set upon new academy graduates. How was pulling weeds or catching cats beneficial to a shinobi, anyways? It didn't develop their jutsu, chakra, or discipline... it was just menial labor.


"In fact, I like the idea. I can put them through the ringer while we're out and about. Maybe they'll actually come back with some decent taijutsu skills." At this point, Ritsuko had no clue when the next Chunin exam would be... but teaching the brats some good taijutsu was never a bad idea. This little scouting mission would be a good chance for her to teach them what she could. "So when are we heading out? The sooner the better. Especially if I have to sandbag it so the kids don't get lost." ... clearly Ritsuko was raring to go. It had been a while since she was in command of a squad, after all.
 
Leaping through the trees, Riyoshi pressed off the last tree branch and cleared the empty path between the trees and the hokage building. Flipping forward, Riyoshi placed his feet upon the wall and stuck. Running up the wall, Riyoshi headed for the window leading to the Hokage’s office. Leaping upwards, Riyoshi preformed a front flip and landed upon the edge of the window.


“Excuse me. Have you finished with the mission so i can head back?” Riyoshi asked as he looked through the window.
 
"Can I trust you with Akira, Ritsuko?" Takashi asked as he glanced at Ritsuko.


Taichi and Shiori caught up with Akira, "Sorry about what I said Akira." Shiori


said. Akira smiled, "Its alright, It is proabably best if I don't go." They went to


Ichiraku's ramen shop and ate some ramen.
 
"Actually I want Akira learn more about real world. She has grown up enough to take the responsibility of her blood line." Tsunade explained her motives to send genins With Ritsuko. "About the mission; you'll head out after Ri..." Tsunade felt someone getting close to windows and turned back then saw Riyoshi coming up. He was asking about his mission. "As a chunin from Iwagakure I expect you to use the door when you're in konoha!" She scolded him. If she hadn't noticed him, he might have heard things that he shouldn't. "It's ready any way." She turned back to her desk, picked up a blue scroll and handed it to him. "Here is the message and all. You may leave now." She ordered.
 
Listening to the Hokage scorn him made him a bit angry. Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth is what he was doing to try and curb his anger towards her. Then the comment of him being a chuunin, sent him over. Entering through the window, Riyoshi grabbed the scroll and went back to the window. Lifting his right leg up and placing it in the frame of the window, he looked back at the Hokage.


“I know that you are old and everything, but since i am a guest and everything in this village of yours, I would expect you to recognize that I am a jounin.” Riyoshi replied in a more tempered tone.


With that, Riyoshi leaped from the office and headed south. If what she was about to say when he was listening is true, then Ken was correct. This was not a safe place, even for himself. It was no time at all before he reached the gates.


“Hello there. I am ready to depart now.” Riyoshi hollered out as he waved at the gate’s guardians.


The gate started to open and Riyoshi took off into a full sprint once again. He was out of the village and on his way to Iwagakure.
 
"I understand mi' lady." Takashi said. He respected that Lady Tsunade thought Akira was ready for a mission. "The details if I may ask Lady Tsunade." he then added.


Akira, Shiori, and Taichi all were at Ichiraku's eating them a nice bowl of ramen. Akira sighed, "Do y'all think Lady Tsunade will let me go this time?" Shiori and Taichi looked at each other, "Definatly." Shiori said "Its not like she can prevent you from going on mission's forever." Taichi added.
 
Tsunade reddened and dashed to window shouting behind Riyoshi: "You damned GENIN! How dare you call me old?! I would has killed you if you were more that a petty GENIN!" Then she took a deep brief and turned back to Ritsuko and Takashi with a horribly angry face. "Now that he has gone we can talk about it freely. Something is up in the land of silver. Some shinobi are raising there but I don't know the number, they might be a few or a lot. The danger is that they have called for help from a mysterious and untrustworthy gang called Boshoku. I don't want you to take action and start a fight. Just go there as a family or so to gather as much as information as you can. The main issue you should be after is making detailed profiles of shinobi of that land. We just know one of them currently." Tsunade explained and gave a pocket to Ritsuka which contained everything Sora had found through Riyoshi about Ken. "If you don't have a question, you can start now." She added.
 
Ken finally arrived in the Land of Silver after a full days travel. He took a deep breath looking at his home country, it was a beautiful place filled with forests, fields and rivers flowing through it. He looked over the horizon, there was the Fortune Village where Boshoku should be waiting. Thankfully Ungakure was kept a secret only the 'four' knowing about it's location, Boshoku could never find it and would only be waiting in Fortune Village, Ken's home village.


Ken arrived in Fortune Village, a small village compared Konoha. It was a mining village as one could see with all the mining equipment laying scattered through out the homes. Wooden beams, shovels, pick axes were everywhere. The village was connected by mine railways which weaved around every house going all through the village and leading to the mine. Everyone would often use Minecarts to not only travel to the mine but just to travel around the village.


Ken hopped on a minecart and was off, to be honest it wasn't hard to find Boshoku... They kind of stood out in a place like this, he simply asked around and people pointed him straight to the Tsurai Diner, a diner run by a family friend of Ken's Tsurai who known for making extremely spicy food that no man could handle.


He found two of the Boshoku members sitting in the back and slowly approached them.


"Sup."


(I'll let you control them [MENTION=54]backlash[/MENTION] since they're your characters, just remember we are in Fortune Village, not Ungakure. No one knows where that is, it's a secret!)
 
((ooc: not really sure where tsunade is getting her information, but ungakure is relatively new. not on anyones radar. they are not a threat, neither is the boshoku. they may look mean, but i'm sure tsunade would not be aware of them unless she has encountered them before. and i am going to have to disagree with that.))


the man looked at ken while eating the spicy food. nodding at his hello, the second ninja replied.


"Can we help you? " the ninja replied.


he looked at Ken with suspicion and curiosity while he kept one hand under the table.
 
(Backlash, Tsunade got her information technically from us. When furtuna's character read our minds or what it is she does, she got information about Ungakure and Boshoku. Though since we didn't discuss in any detail, all they know is I'm meeting with them under your words and since Tsunade doesn't seem to trust you she probably fears for the Land of Silver and Boshoku.


So even if neither are a threat, she has heard information that could misconstrued that the two factions alone or rather their alliance could be a danger.)


He looked them over with their strange clothes, red with black clouds.


"So you are Riyoshi's friends. I have a message for you from him."


He leaned up close to them so only they could hear.


"He says, initiate the recovery plan."
 
(( Ok. That is my bad. I re-read some posts and we have said ungakure and land of silver....I spologize for my last OOC post. I was out of place. Sorry.))
 
(( we have an OOC thing now, people... you needn't use the In Character thread to relay messages like that. Click Here for the OOC pages. Also, I have advised Furtuna on how to make hyperlinks such as the one for the OOC page. I hear we'll have our characters arranged in a lovely manner very soon. Post incoming. ))


Ritsuko couldn't help but laugh at the Hokage's outburst in regard to the foreign shinobi's little taunt. How could one so hot-headed still be the seat of power? "Geez, Lady Tsunade. You'd think you'd have mellowed out with age... but you're just as irritable as a teen. And what's with using Genin as an insult? Remember the so-called 'Thousand-Year Genin'? Just because someone's a Genin, doesn't mean they're stupid of useless. Someone rather pivotal to the war effort not long ago was also a genin... or have you forgotten?" A smug little grin crept onto Ritsuko's face. Why? Because she had just given a lecture to the military leader of the village. That was reason for most anyone to feel a little arrogant.


"Anyways, you can relax your mammaries. I'll take care of the mission. They're safe with me." Surely, Lady Tsunade would be rather mad once the shock of getting lectured by Konoha's Half-Beast Inuzuka lept out the same way the foreign Jounin had left, and bounded off to gather her squad. She would personally be waiting at the great gate leading out of the village. The actual gathering of her team would be handled by clones. Each clone would head toward the last known location of each student, deliver a message to meet their new Jounin Squad Leader at the gate, and then disappear. "Hopefully this all goes smoothly..." whispered the taijutsu expert as she paced back and forth. ... though rarely did things go smoothly, even in times of peace.
 
"Keep it close Ritsuko and attend your mission. I'll show you the real irritation when you come back! I don't like konoha shinobi be afraid of accepting the responsibility of higher ranks." Tsunade snapped at the brazen woman who had lecture her. The thing that couldn't be tolerated about it was that the real irritating person there was Ritsuko. Her personality was awful in many ways. As a result her face turned all dark as she spoke about her breasts. "Jealous bast***!" She murmured as the ANBU fled.
 
((Team 1))


The pale blue shinobi looked upon Ken and spoke out calmly.


"So, You also know Riyoshi. It is good to meet someone who we can trust around here." The shinobi replied to Ken.


"Grblyshels." The other shinobi replied to Ken as he didn't stop eating to reply respectfully.


"Sorry about my team mate here, he can be annoying sometimes. Riyoshi told you about the recovery plan?" The pale blue skinned shinobi asked Ken.


Placing his hand upon his chin, The shinobi thought for a minute. He pondered about why Riyoshi sent this man to tell him when Riyoshi's skills were good enough to contact them.


Putting the bowl down and wiping the food from around his mouth, the man looked at Ken.


"So, can i ask you a question?" The shinobi asked out as he leaned back in his chair.
 
Ken stayed quiet while they both greeted him and he simply nodded with a bit of respect.


He looked to the second shinobi who finished eating and asked him a question.


"You may."


Ken took a seat and smiled at the man waiting for the fireworks. Tsurai was known for making insanely hot foods, no one in village could handle it, not even Ken. No newcomer could handle them either, the thing was it took a few seconds to hit you but when it did it was quite a sight. Many of the villagers found enjoyment bring an outsider to Tsurai to try the food and then waiting and watching when the spiciness of the food hit them and they ended up jumping around begging for water.


Ken was interested to see how this Shinobi would react to the volcano that his mouth was about to become. As he smiled coyly.
 
The man just looked at Ken. He looked as if something great was about to happen.


“Are you aware of what you are asking?” The man asked Ken.


The pale blue skinned Shinobi sat by and closed his eyes. He was contacting the other squads.


-Everyone, this is Konju, Riyoshi did not make it to the meeting spot. Recovery plan is a go.- Konju spoke out in his mind.


The man that ate the spicy food soon felt a warming sensation starting to brew up in his mouth. A smile donned on his face as he brought his hands together.
 
Ken just rolled his eyes, he wondered how long he could avoid that question.


"Riyoshi did not give me many details as his situation was rushed. He simply asked me to deliver the message and as a favour I have done that task. I owe Riyoshi so I put my faith in him, but if anyone tries to do harm to my Land or my friends, I'll take them out.


Does that answer your question."


He looked at shinobi that had asked him the question.
 
(( To those that have officially been sent on a mission with Ritsuko... I noted that she sent clones out and delivered each of you a message to meet her at the gates of the village. Do be so kind as to respond to that in your next posts. ))
 
Taichi, Shiori, and Akira all got a clone that looked like Ritsuko Sensei. Taichi and Shiori nodded as they started to make their way towards the gates of the village, they arrived but Akira wasn't there, "So Akira isn't able to come?" Shiori asked. Akira was a little excited that she got to finally go on a mission, she walked to the gates of the village, "Hey guys! Sorry if I'm late." she said. This wasn't a good impression for Akira.
 
"Actually, yes. One more thing. Did he give you anything?" The man asked as he looked at Ken.


Kanju stood up, excused himself from the table and walked outside. Looking up at the sky, he thought to himself for a few minutes.


~~~~


Riyoshi ran through the forest away from Konoha. Holding the scroll out in front of himself, he looked at it.
 
Ken looked at Kanju leave and then drew his attention back to the other as he slowly reached into his pocket


"Yes, he gave me this..."


Ken took out the squishy clay from his pockets as it formed in his hands and he showed it to the remaining Shinobi.
 
Tsunade had wrote one larg word in the middle of her scroll for Tsuchikage;Pigeon. The rest of words were too tiny to read but referred to summoning technique.
 
What the heck is this? Riyoshi thought to himself.


Reaching back, Riyoshi placed the scroll into the gourd. Continuing to leap through the trees, Riyoshi headed away from Konoha.


Looks like I am in the clear. Riyoshi thought as he looked over his shoulder.


~~~~


The man looked at Ken like he was crazy.


“Clay? Why the heck did he give you that?” The man replied to Ken.


Kanju walked back in just after his teammates question.


“It is a sign that this man can be trusted. Riyoshi wouldn’t just let anyone have a hold of his gourd.” Kanju spoke out as he stood to the side of Ken.
 
Ken just scratched his head as they spoke about the clay, he decided to shrug and spun his chair in a more comfortable position making sure his sword in it's sheath stayed close.


"Well if he trusts me, maybe you can fill me in then."


He looked at the two shinobi intently as he continued speaking


"I don't mean to be rude, but considering you are in my village and land I must ask. For safety, no disrespect but I have a few questions I must at the very least enquire about. Firstly who are you guys, this Boshoku group of yours?


Secondly what are you intentions both as a whole, with regards to Riyoshi and Konoha, Iwagure and my town? Finally what is this recovery plan?"


After he finished speaking he looked to them and waited for them to answer, he didn't demand answers. He simply asked, whether they chose to answer any of his questions was up to them but he at least had the right to ask.
