[Deleted]

Shiki looked up. Right on time it would seem. Shiki had already read the notes about the new genin that had just graduated from the academy. Shiki gave a faint smile as the ninja reported in. "At Ease." Shiki said gruffly giving the ninja permission to relax. Shiki paused for a moment as he eyed the ninja. 

"First off. Congratulations on your promotion to Genin. Being a ninja is the ultimate act of selfless service to your country and community. As of right now, you are physical stronger, mentally more intelligent and show a higher grade of professionalism and character than your peers. What ever you do from this point forwards you have earned this title and no one may take it from you.  Eijuu Welcome to the finest forest on the planet. The Ninja of Sunagakure welcome you as family. " Shiki would pause for a moment to let the ninja reflect on those words.


"My Name... Is Shiki Senri. I am the Jounin Commander in charge of the entire Shinobi force here. I will be your direct Squad Commander and task master for all your missions. If you have any questions, needs, wants or run into any trouble I will be your life line here in this village. First and foremost, here is your gear. These are basic issue from the village itself. Familiarize yourself with them and their purpose and report back when you are ready for a mission. Please fuse your chakra with this paper so we may add you to our Phylactery."

[Eijiu Inuzuka]

"Yes Sir!" Eijiu bowed quickly standing up proudly as the information was sinking in. He took a deep breath. This was the biggest day of his life. His family members had been risking their lives for the code of a ninja. This code was sacred within the Inuzuka family. A clan known for its hard work and effort. Today starts Eijiu's chance to prove he belongs here.

" Sir I understand your current position where you rest. You are very busy with everything going on in the village. Thank you for letting me prove my worth to the village as a genin. I will not let you down!" Eijiu smiled as he adjusted his headband.

He would obtain his equipment and go through it identifying all the materials he earned. He would adjust everything to his liking before putting his bag on his back. He would bow once more before waving to the commander. This was his opportunity. He was ready for his moment.

I understand it is my first day and I was here a little bit ago but this mission fits the essentials I hold most for success. As a ninja I want to assist and protect the ninja of Sunakagure and this mission covers that" He would bow and take a step back waiting in silence for a word from the commander.

[Tetsu]

It might have been a hot summer evening, but Amira only felt cold. She was getting weary and weak from the same chilling illness that seemed to plague her family, or so it seemed as she coughed quietly to herself in her office. She felt her zeal for life slippping away as she sighed looking at the sadojin guard that was always present. "Bring me Shiki, we have somethings to dicuss..." She would state in her commanding tone, although there was a clear fadedness to the tone. She would wait for the fellow to exit her office and close the door before she laid her head on her desk. She was tired and weak...or so it seemed to be becoming with each passing day. THe status of her health was not something to be becoming a much reater concern.

As she let the next few minutes pass she would hope that Shiki would find the time to come down and think of what she wanted to say.

[Deleted]

It wasn't much longer till Shiki got the message. There would be a flash and Shiki would suddenly appear in the Tower. His hirashin tag in his office letting him quickly appear in the floor below Amira's. At his desk Shiki quickly lowered his body and gave a jump. His legs kicking upwards with enough strength to hop a few meters into the air. Before he hit the ceiling he would turn incorporeal at the last few moments before clearing himself into the Kage's office. 

This new method of instant teleportation was hysterical. Being able to bound thousands of meters in a second was a devastatingly fun thing to do. Right when Shiki came up through the floor and his whole body had passed into the room he released his density manipulation turning corporeal once more. Not wearing his normally cumbersome armor and electing to only wear his clothes, his snow white cloak of protection and his Tokihaga on his hip, more of a ceremonial weapon if anything. 

"You rang?" Shiki asked trying to keep a bit of his amusement out of his voice as he spoke.

"yes, indeed..." Amira would comment upon the Jounin's unusual method of entrance. "I wanted to speak with you about your performance." Amira had begun, feeling as if this was going to be a challenging conversation. "You've done beyond well, and have exceeded what I expected you to do," She appraised as she reached into her desk and pulled out a small medal box. Inside was a small pendant, with the sunagakure insigna embrazed upon the steal. "for these efforts to improve the village and your service I would like to award you the title of one of the sand's Legendary Sannin." Amira would state as she would feebly get up, moving from her desk before offering to put the small amulet around his neck. It could be enchanted later, but for now it was just a symbol of his status. She couldn't help but smile at this, as she had figured this was the young man's destiny. She would finish putting on the amulet before suddenly feeling feint.

She would cough violently for a moment, steadying herself on Shiki's shoulder before patting his chest and moving back over to her desk. "Shiki, it might not look like it now, but I'm sick...and I fear it might consume me..." She began carefully returning to her seat. "My mother subcame to the same illness, but as it stands now, a couple of months more and I probably won't have the strenght to lead a nation...let alone sit in my chair all day." She joked with a chuckle that almost made her cough. Her face, though young, looked aged and tired. The expression of exaustion was present. "I'm tired, and I wanted to let you know that I'll be recommending you to be my successor while I'm under treatment." She said writing a short letter before she set it down again to ponder. "I just wanted to tell you these things before I miss the chance, life is fickle you know?" She reminded him and herself as she sighed wondering if she would survive the icy chilling of her blood that was slowly killing her. (This illness is canon btw...as her mother did die of it xD). She looked up, wondering what Shiki thought about what she had just said...not sure what she was expecting to see.

[Deleted]

[That doesn't sound good]

I could feel the concern wash over my face as I looked at Amira. "Is there anything I can do to help you get better?" I offered quickly. I knew better than to think that Amira had not already exhausted every possible option if not only for herself but for her mother. I felt a level of worry that I quickly identified as well. There was something strange about being powerless in situations like these. 

"I could ask Loki. She might be able to help you." I quickly thought off not knowing what else to say or do. There was a lot that I had to take in, and I recognized myself struggling to grasp the magnitude of what Amira was asking of me. If she was actually stepping down, and I was made to be the kazekage, that would set my life on a course that would change things forever.

"I'm not sure...this sickness, it is within my blood," Amira stated almost with a sense of resignation. "I'm not sure how much time I have left, but I do know that if something isn't done then I will die...and thus my decision." She said letting snow know her intention. "I'll be going to the hospital periodically while they attempt treatments, but I'm afraid not much can be done for me." She said with a reassuring smile. "I turst you shiki, I would not have recommended you otherwise, and I will still be with you...for a time...hopefully longer than I expect." She would say, some strenght returning to her eyes and the spell of weakness passed. "Please send something to Loki asking for her help, and let her know the situation, I need to make some arrangements...So please I'll leave you to go do what you must...I'll call for you when I feel the time comes, and thank you for your friendship Shiki...I appreciate you greatly." She finished, figuring once Shiki had finished taking all this in and returned to his office, she would take a nap.

Lupe took a few steps into the Kazekage Tower and stopped, pausing for a few moments to take in the scene. “This is where Lord Kazekage fulfills her duties protecting and maintaining our village”, thought Lupe. He had been a Genin for all but a few days now, yet hadn’t had an opportunity to embark on his first duties yet. He lifted his arm to adjust his headprotector, brushing a finger across the Sand insignia. He couldn’t get enough of it. He was unable to suppress a sly grin. “This is it”, he thought, “I’ve waited for this, this is where everything begins”. He took another few steps and looked around, he had been called in for his first official day yet he was not sure whether he’d get his instructions from a subordinate or Lord Kazekage herself. His heart beat elevated slightly at the thought of being face to face with the Kazekage. He’d seen her from afar, at village events and such, yet had never been within talking distance. Imagining himself being in the presence of such a significant, and more importantly, powerful, shinobi excited him. “You never know, I could be sitting in that seat one day”, he let out another sly grin, power was one thing he desired but he wasn’t sure he’d enjoy the responsibility of being a Kage. It was an amusing thought nonetheless. He looked around and approached the desk. “Excuse me, I’ve been called in as a new Genin, where should I report to?”, he asked.

[The Winds Grow Stronger]

My ears perked up as a heard a young man speaking. Years of hunting dangerous monsters and countless modifications to his body have given me the ability to hear like a canine and totally unhindered by walls or objects between him and the source of noise. Footsteps, small ones. I looked over at the clock and took a mental note of the time the new Genin was arriving. Of course as the Jounin commander I had already read into this ninja's file. Laid back with a strong sense of justice seemed to be his foundation that he would be building off of. I started shuffling away some of the more classified documents he was peering over in anticipation. 

---

The receptionist, a male chuunin in his early 20's would look at Lupe as he arrived. "You must be the new graduate. It is customary that new arrivals receive their first instructions from the Kage herself. Yet the kage is temporarily unavailable." The Chuunin would feel a bit of regret as he was already lying to the kid. It wasn't his place to reveal sensitive information, especially to a new Genin however. "Instead you will be taking your first orders from the Jounin Commander Shiki Senri. He's on the 9th floor, go past his trophy room and his office should be on the east end of the building."

Should the ninja press onwards through the trophy room. The ninja would see some relics of Shiki's old profession as a monster hunter. 5 massive dragon heads treated to preserve their form forever, teeth of massive cryo hydra, vampire fangs and all sorts of other collections from these massive dead beasts filled a large study that was also populated by books that Shiki had collected or written himself about each species he had come across. Through the room was Shiki's office where the young man would find the monster hunter himself. 

Shiki not wearing his usual armor that he did on his hunts elected to wear just some simple clothing and his white cloak of protection. The cloak instead of bearing the sigil of the village instead wore the sigil of his clan, the Kyoudo. Shiki's white skin and snow white hair only made his deep sapphire eyes more vibrant against the scars that crossed over his face.

    “Eh? Kazekage unavailable?”, thought Lupe to himself. He thanked the receptionist briefly before moving on as per his instructions. He couldn’t pretend he wasn’t mildly disappointed. “Shiki Senri… I’ve definitely heard that name before. Oh well, maybe another time”. Trying to mask his slight bitterness as he ascended up the staircase, he reached the 9th floor and proceeded across the trophy room. Glancing casually at the relics as he walked past, he reached the office at the eastern end. Had his mind not been so occupied, he probably would have paused to examine some of the relics, but the anticipation of his first day as a shinobi and the slight letdown had taken over his mind for the moment and he took little notice. He approached the office door and knocked slightly, before walking in and closing the door behind him. His eyes focused on the man before him. This was a man who exhibited the aura of intense power. He hesitated a moment before shifting his sight towards the floor and bowing. “Shiki Senri? Lupe Kumagai, new Genin. I was told to report here today for my first instructions”. His eyes remained fixated on the floor as he waited his response.

[In the Eyes of the Wolf]

My eyes watched the new ninja enter the office and I took a moment in silence to watch him as he spoke. It would only take me a moment to know what I needed to know about this man's soul. A faint sapphire light would glow ever so slightly from my eyes as I filtered through the content of his character. "You're a good man Lupe. Bound by justice and your own sense of honor." It was a statement, not a question. The content of one's soul was never wrong. And nothing hid from these eyes of mine. I could feel my posture relax ever so slightly as I realized I wouldn't need to keep my guard as high with the boy.

"First and Foremost. Congratulations. Not many people have the steel in their hearts to put the needs of the village and their people above their own. You are now a ninja of Sunagakure and it is a title that death itself may not rip from you. You have joined during a very turbulent time in our village, for that I can only commend you further. The Kage, Amira, a close personal friend of mine is sick with a mysterious illness. One which will undoubtedly kill her within the year unless we can devise a cure for her. With our leader sick and most of our ninja at the exams, our village is at its most vulnerable at this very moment than it has been in the last decade."

I saw no point in keeping secrets from the ninja. He needed to know what he was walking into. I pulled out a small scroll made of worn parchment. I sat it down on the desk and unrolled it in front of him. Inside was a single seal. I released the chakra inside of it and several items would appear bound up inside of a backpack.

"This is your standard issue equipment Lupe. This is yours to use, sell or burn. But each one of these items was something specifically chosen by me as an object a new ninja would find valuable. Behind you is our contract board. Find a D or C rank contract that appeals to you and return to me when you are ready to begin." I said shortly.

        Finally looking up as the man began to speak, Lupe listened closely to his words. He was slightly taken aback upon being commended for his honor by such a high ranking shinobi, his heart beat elevated slightly. This man was something else. He had unusual eyes. He didn’t know how to explain it, he was looking forward to meeting the Kage and although not the Kage, this man appeared Kage level. As the man continued to speak, giving him his congratulations and a quick briefing on the situation of the village, Lupe heart skipped a beat or two on hearing the news of the Kazekage. “So that was why she was unable to meet with me”, thought Lupe to himself. The Kage was the head and the beating heart of the village, if the Kage was sick, the village was sick, and that was an extremely troubling idea. “Lord Kazekage… Sick… I am extremely saddened to hear that. I promise to do all that is in my power to protect the village during any difficult times, and I will be deeply wishing for the Kazekage to have a full and swift recovery.” He bowed again and approached the collection of items on the table, accepting the pack and storing the items within. He turned to the contract board, selecting a contract and returned to hand it to Shiki.

[The First Steps Of Something Great]

I watched the ninja select from the contracts behind him. How was he supposed to know that this too was a test of his character. The mission that this ninja picked would be telling of his aspirations and morality. When the ninja came back to my desk and showed me the mission I saw the mission he selected. I listened to the ninja's words about the kazekage. He showed genuine concern. "Our Kage will not recover from wishes. Like all things we will work for her recovery. Lupe I have my contacts scouring the earth for any leads that might cure her. Trust me when I say that soon we will need every ninja in our village to cure our Lady Kazekage. I am going to need you to steal yourself and dedicate yourself to your training. Soon the village will need you for a mission that may put your very life on the line. And when that time comes I need you to be ready for whatever is thrown at us."

I looked at the mission document and raised my pointer finger. A small spark formed at the edge of my finger as lightning began to course through the air. As I traced my finger through the air the lightning clung to the air itself forming a glowing symbol in Kanji. The message was simply my name. "四季千里" I snapped my fingers and the symbol would vanish from the air and the sparks would form on the paper burning my name into the parchment itself.

"You are dismissed Lupe unless you have any questions or more to say. May the Wind be on your back."

        “Rest assured I have no intentions of becoming complacent now. This is only the beginning for me. I will be training hard and will be ready when needed, especially if it is in aid of our Kage.” Lupe said proudly. He picked up the signed contract glancing at it again. A village is its people, and making sure its people are safe is protecting the village. This seemed to be a mission to teach some villagers basic self-defense. Simple enough to start with. He’d considered going for a C-rank mission yet thought that might make him appear too reckless to his superiors. Best to start with a D-rank like most Genin. He could go for a C-rank next time. After being dismissed by Shiki, Lupe bowed again, saying, “It is a great honor to be a shinobi of the Sand, I thank you for your kind words”. He folded the mission contract placing it into his pack, and exited the room.

[clawskidna]

The following morning, Lupe donned his lightweight combat garb and left for the Kazekage Tower. Strolling in, with the previous day's mission contract signed and sealed by the client, he ascended to Shiki's office once more. My first mission done and dusted, well, if you could call it that. I wonder what Shiki would think if he knew I spent half my day as a glorified babysitter for four teenage girls. Considering what most Genin get thrown into as beginners I'd say this beats picking up trash I guess, hopefully I can put that off for as long as possible. Knocking on his office and entering quietly, he bowed briefly and placed the completed contract on his desk. "I've finished the first mission last night, sir. I'm ready for my next duty."

[The First Notch]

One of the stranger things that had changed my life since I had the ritual of the wolf performed on me was I no longer needed to sleep. At least not sleep in the traditional sense of the word. I could close my eyes and let the time slip past me in a meditative state. Or in this case, spend the entire evening working through the leads I could find to get on the right trail to help Amira. The minutes were spent create letters and sending them to their respective couriers. The minutes were fleeting as they blended into hours and the hours brought about the dawn of a coming day.

Physically I was not tired, mentally I was as sharp as ever. But my mind was caught in a sense of frustration and hopelessness. This illness that had struck the kage was not documented anywhere, standard miracle medications were not cutting it. All my contacts were days out at best and even when my letters arrived there was no promise that my friends would be at their locations. Monster Hunters were notorious for being hard to reach. My mind would be pulled from my work as I heard the footsteps and beating heart of someone approaching my office.

The footsteps were familiar, the timing of his breaths, the canted steps in his arches and the familiar stride he carried helped me identify him as the young Genin who was here the day before. As he walked in I watched him once more. He reported in showing proper military customs and respect. Admirable. I brought his hand over my chest in a fist rendering a small salute from a seated position. "At Ease." I commanded the young ninja. I could feel the roughness in my voice. I had not spoken a word since he was last here. The ninja would recognize the command to let him relax and speak freely.

I picked up the report and flipped through his notes. "Tell me Lupe. What did you learn from your mission?" I asked. Every mission had a lesson to be learned and the moment you stopped learning the importance of your tasks you become jaded with the village. But spoon-feeding the ninja wouldn't be enough. I wanted to see what he took away from it. Would he lie to me and make up something I wanted to hear or would he tell me his actual thoughts? I would let him formulate his thoughts as I handed him a small roll of Ryo.

        His mind flashed back to the shenanigans of yesterday, the girls honestly had little intentions of taking the training seriously and were more interested in fooling around with boys. He tried his best to stay switched on at the focus at hand and make sure they went away able to defend themselves against basic thugs yet he was pretty sure having dinner with clients after an assignment wasn't customary practice for a shinobi. He tried to avoid Shiki's sapphire eyes. Even his saying "At ease" wasn't enough to fully relax Lupe. His eyes unnerved him, he felt as if he was boring into his soul when he looked into them. I'm glad this man is on our side. "Commander, the citizens of this village represent the village itself. Making sure they are able to defend themselves serves the same purpose as ensuring that the village remains safe." Well, he wasn't lying he supposed, even though that wasn't the only thing on his mind last night.
