[Safety Hammer]

Watsuji Zenko's head hurt like no other. No normal headache or migraine, either. This one was the mother of all hangovers. Scratching at his chin, he tried hard to think of any reason why he hurt now more than ever when he remembered his pain.

Oh yeah.. the party.

He had crashed a birthday party for one of his fellow Jounin yesterday night and had drank way too much and went home with a stranger. If they had stolen something, it must not have been important, as he could see his stuff still where he left them. Oh, it most certainly was gonna be one of those days. The type where you have to go around apologizing for shit you caused the night before.

Rising naked from his bed, he shambled to his bathroom, grabbing a cigarette and lighting it as it as the tub began to fill. He had some time to kill of course. Cuz he never got any jobs, you see.

Akatoshi wandered through town after being brushed off by the Jounin he'd encountered. They were either "busy" or "didn't have the time" to go on the half-week long trip. What was this village coming to, with its Shinobi not even caring about missions not pertaining to combat? Akatoshi brushed his hidden chin, searching his mind for any person who would have nothing better to do. He passed house upon house as his mind wandered, until he found one he recognized. Surely Zenko had nothing better to do. Knowing him, he probably went out last night, so he could be irritable. It would still be worth a try, what else could Akatoshi have to lose?

He approached the front door to Watsuji Zenko's home and raised his moss-covered arm to knock on the door. Realizing this wouldn't make any noise but a faint squelch, he stopped and thought of a way to knock.. Eventually, Akatoshi stopped thinking, and just hit on the door with a stick.

 

[Safety Hammer]

Stepping out if the bath after he had cleaned himself sufficiently and the rest of the water had turned lukewarm, the Jounin began to dry himself off, taking his sweet time before doing anything else. Slowly. He went through the rest of his routine: shaving his neck, applying deodorant and brushing his teeth. Then quietly putting on his mesh, his jeans, and a sweater to battle the cold within his house. Putting a few logs in the chimney, he started a dire to warm himself as his kettle heated on the stove. He had almost settled down next to the fire when he felt something. Someone was at his door. But... not knocking.

Quietly, he tiptoes towards the doorway, grabbing a Kunai from his pack and preparing to attack. He waited for the count of three in his head, slowly counting down from three to one until he swung open the door, ready to attack!!

But, as he swung the door open, he was hit dead in the face with a stick. The one Akatoshi had thrown.

 

[rebirth]

Akatoshi watched as the stick flew from his hands into his acquaintance's face. A look of concern crossed his face as it fell to the ground.
"Uh... Sorry about that." Akatoshi apologized. "Didn't mean to, well, startle you."
He picked up the stick and tossed it aside. "Anyways, I have a mission, if you're up to it." Akatoshi seemed apathetic about the situation, at least to himself, but he just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.

 

[MidnightMoon]

Yuno Matsuda

Yuno avidly ignored Yuki and trudged along faster towards the hospital.
she kicked thedoors.Open with one leg and shouldered past the lobby with low set scowl set on her face.
glaring at thegaping nurses she immediately began barking insults and slung her newest teammate haphazardly onto the cot without care.

 

[Safety Hammer]

Akatoshi watched as the stick flew from his hands into his acquaintance's face. A look of concern crossed his face as it fell to the ground.
"Uh... Sorry about that." Akatoshi apologized. "Didn't mean to, well, startle you."
He picked up the stick and tossed it aside. "Anyways, I have a mission, if you're up to it." Akatoshi seemed apathetic about the situation, at least to himself, but he just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.

"Mission, huh? You must really be desperate if you're coming to me. Nobody, and I mean nobody comes to me for missions nowadays." The jaded ninja said as he scratched at his beard. Zenko rarely got any work due to his somewhat unorthodox way of chakra usage. And since it usually ended with him being absolutely hammered, tasks weren't usually all that completed either. Pulling himself up from the floor, he groaned and popped his back and neck.

"Well? Explain what this mission is about."

 

[rebirth]

"It's just a formal checkup, make sure the Nishikidake people are still holding up the basic alliance and peace treaties between us. It'll probably take a few days to get there with the terrain and then another few days to get back. I'll warn you, my students will be coming, and there a bit..." Akatoshi paused for a second, trying to think. "They're dysfunctional, to say the least. I don't anticipate any unnecessary resistance, but honestly I'd prefer if another Jounin came with us just to be safe."

Jikai
"Owww..." Jikai groaned as he hit the cot. He had regained consciousness on the way; Yuno wasn't very gentle as she 'escorted' him. "You know Yuno, you don't have to be so rude, especially after you just did this to me." He glared at his arm, which was oozing blood from a long gash. Jikai let the nurses do their thing as he laid there, anger brewing inside of him. How could he let this happen? He was smarter than this.

 

[MidnightMoon]

Yuno Matsuda

Rolling her eyesYuno mocked him in high pitched voice.
“you don’t have to be so rude Yunoooo! I’m too much of an ungrateful baby to handle it~”
She mock whined, pouting a dramatic bottom lip out and showing large water eyes. Then in an instant it was gone, replaced by a mean scowl and a look that clearly said ‘get over it’
“Hn, it’s a good thing I did do this to you. Kami knows if I hadn’t you would have probably ended up dead on our mission. You know. The one you aren’t invited to.” A shark like grin spread across her face at the mention of the mission that was coming up.
Whipping around quickly Yuno made her way to the exit. Calling tauntingly over her shoulder.
“Later loser”​

Gin Matsuda

Two weeks had flown by like it was nothing. His students had greatly improved in their information gathering; asking leading questions without seeming to suspicious, and their disguises were well for first time infiltration. Learning medical jutsu has went well with Kimi and Kiyoshi, Mensa....had other talents. A weary sigh breached him at that. Along with a fond little grin. Today...today he was putting them in place. Today they made their way to Suna. Time to see what this demon child was really all about.

 

[rebirth]

"Damn you Yuno! Don't act all smug because you beat me, next time I'll-" Jikai stopped. It wasn't worth yelling after Yuno; if anything, he'd make it worse. Jikai would just have to bide his time. Laying his head back onto the cot, he let the nurses do their thing.

Akatoshi
The sun went down quickly, leaving Akatoshi in darkness as he trotted down the dirt path. Zenko said there was a possibility he'd join them on the mission, so Akatoshi decided to go check on his subordinates. The road to the Matsuda compound was long and barren, only streetlamps to light the way and the dry ground beneath his feet. Of course, it could have been that he had just walked slow, but it seemed like the walk took an eternity.

Finally, he entered the compound. Silence. It brought pain to Akatoshi's heart to see what the compound had become. Gin really was delusional, wasn't he? Akatoshi couldn't blame him.
Continuing forwards, he knocked on the door and leaned against the wall. Hopefully Yuno was home already and packing for the trip. If not, he'd just go find Yuki.

[Flame Demon]

Kimiko sighs and she stretches while trying to get her shoulders to loosen up before putting stuff in the pocket, the scroll with her swords and cloak, before stuffing the needed small weapons in her pouch, no kids would travel in the desert without some way to protect themselves right? It would seem weird in her opinion anyway "Sensei, what if they refuse to let us in?" she asks "Would they even do that?" she asks tilting her head slightly.

 

[Repsugar]

Mensa's eyes fluttered open, he yawned.
He sat up still groggy. Standing up, he began to role up his sleeping mat and put it in on his back.
Picking his satchel up, he snapped it around his waste.
All he needed now was a quick drink and he'd be ready to go for the most part.
He smiled slightly.

 

[rebirth]

Kiyoshi rolled up his sleeping bag and put it aside, then readied his tools. After making sure they were in order, he checked the seals. This was an important day for him, and so he had to make absolute sure he was ready. His sword seemed a bit big, so just in case, he stored it in a seal as well. He didn't plan on using it any time soon, but if he happened to get into trouble, he could always rely on getting it.

"If they refuse to let us in, then we'll have to get in by other means. At least that's what I'd assume, Kimi-chan," Kiyoshi said.

 

[Safety Hammer]

Oh dear God, this is gonna be horribly boring.
The spark that was held in his eyes initially faded quickly. Of course this wasn't anything fun or important. The kage wouldn't let him have any fun anymore. He sighed and reached into this pocket for another cigarette, lighting it with a match.

"When are we heading out?" Zenko asked as he took a long drag. "And how old are these kids? I dont wanna be babysitting no toddlers."

 

[rebirth]

"Tonight, I'm thinking around nine. It'll be a walk, but it's worth it in the long run." Akatoshi scratched his head. "The kids are Chunin, so they aren't that bad..."
He remembered Yuno and Yuki's anger, and Jikai's arrogance. He shook the memories from his head. "I'll deal with the kids. You don't have to worry about them. We'll meet up at the training field. You don't have to come, but get ready and meet us there if you plan to join us."

With that, Akatoshi waved goodbye and set off for the Matsuda Compound to meet Yuno. When he arrived, he knocked on the door and waited for her to answer so he could talk.

[Nori]

After Yuki had finally calmed down, he had went to Jikai, he could not remember much of the fight but he had things to do so he gave Jikai a get well gift of some Dango and went back to his home. He walked down the steps and started to make food for the trip, Yuki had always been a good cook as it was really the only pass time he had other than training.

 

[MidnightMoon]

Gin Matsuda

Humming a bright tune, Gin winked from behind his disguise .
“Yes, if they don’t plan to let us in willingly well...plans change and that’s something we’ll just have to adapt to~ but never you mind that! Our inside source will be sure to get us through the door at least”
He wagged his finger playfully at his students.
“Now remember, keep your identities hidden at all times. No powerful Jutsu and I keep your designated communication seals on at all times. Got it?”
His voice went from silly to warily stern towards the end. Sliding his weapons into hidden seals, Gin slid a turban around his head to drape around and cover the lower half of his face.
“we walk from here. You have provisions to last you about 5 days. It will take us a weeks walk to get to Suna civilian style. My name is Amui, and we are refugees.”
​

 

[MidnightMoon]

Yuno Matsuda

yanking open the door with a hard scowl, she grumbled half heartedly with a mouth filled with rice balls. A small pack slung over her should and her gloves firmly on, she grumbled unintelligibly with her mouthful and stepped out of the house.
resting her hand flat against the door to her home, she watched lazily as the seals lit up blue and teal before racing around the structure with their security seals.
when the lights settled, Yuno turned expectantly towards her Sensei. Swallowing her mouthful she raised and eyebrow at him.
“Are we goin or not?”
She sighed boredly and shoved another rice ball in her mouth.​

 

[rebirth]

Kiyoshi pulled the hood over his newly black hair and scarred face, blocking the sun from his eyes. Hopefully this mission would go well. He had faith in everyone -- well, Mensa would end up being lazy, but then again he had talent too -- so if they just stuck together, they'd make it through and get the information needed for the Moss. He couldn't let anyone down.
"My name is Aoko for this mission."

Akatoshi
"I got another Jounin who might join us, so I want you and Yuki to act like normal human beings, alright? All I'm asking is that you don't make all of us look like idiots. This is our first mission together, and I think it could be a good exercise."

Akatoshi turned his back to Yuno. What kinda nonsense was he spewing? It was unreasonable to ask her to change when they had just met.
"You know what, just... keep doing what you're doing, Yuno. Let's go."
Akatoshi left for the training ground to wait for everyone else.

[Flame Demon]

"Why are we refugees? Why did we leave our home?" Kimiko asks putting her stuff in the seals before wrapping her cloak around herself "Inside source? Of course he doesn't tell us everything" she thinks and she sighs putting the now shorter brown hair in a messy ponytail before putting the hood of her jacket up "My name will be Hikari" she says "And next time all the information would be nice" she adds putting her bag around she shoulders "How else are we supposed to learn what we want to know?"

 

[MidnightMoon]

Gin Matsuda

Raising an eyebrow , he tutted disaprovingly.
“You don’t have clearance for that information, why? Because your not strong enough yet, and right now giving you all the information would make you a liability. You can’t slip up if you don’t know anything and you can’t tell em anything if you don’t know anything. ”
He sighed,
“Sometimes it’s safer to not know, Kay Kimi-Chan?”
​

 

[Repsugar]

Mensa nodded, and straightened his hair more so it covered his face.
He also had a mask, he decided to use it as well.
It had covered half of his face, perfect.
Just as the rest did, he pulled his hood over his head as well.
Mensa's face turn into a more stoic expression for the part, "You may call me Aikio." He had said with a placid tone.

 

[Flame Demon]

"I get we're not strong enough" Kimiko says and she glares at Gin "And I get we're training, but what if we get split up?" she asks before her glare turns to Mensa "What if he falls asleep again? We might as well be doing our own thing while we're there because we don't know shit!", she's annoyed, first he tells them they cannot go sightseeing because they're training and the next he tells them that if they know more then they do now, which is nothing, they would be in the way "Make up your mind" she says crossing her arms.

 

[rebirth]

"Kimi-chan, you should be more optimistic! I'm sure if we stick together and to what we're supposed to, we'll be just fine." Kiyoshi smiled at Kimiko brightly, his clothes burning under the hot sun. "Besides, this is just training. Gin-sensei wouldn't give us a task he'd think we weren't ready for."

Akatoshi
Akatoshi walked to one of the benches in the training ground and took a seat. His students would arrive, except for Jikai, so they should be able to start for the Nishikidake Shrine soon enough. With the sun down, there always ran the risk of getting attacked and overpowered, but this was just a formal meeting with the Nishikidake people, so there shouldn't be much to worry about.
Hopefully.

Yuno Matsuda

a mild frown graced her content features before she shrugged in a , I don’t really care manner and followed after her sensei. She happily stuffed another Rice ball in her mouth and began pulling out a multitude of sweets from seemingly no where.​
