[4] Kazekage Tower

[herbivorous hydra]

"Well..... I will get the quest eventually, but if I have to train, I'll train meaningfully. Master the Body. Master the Spirit. Master the Soul. Master the Blood. I will take these missions. And I will return to you, and possibly the Kage. I will return better than I ever have been before. I will not disappoint you, and I will be sure to prove myself to this village, no, this Country."

He turned to the Jounin Commander, fire in his eyes, metaphorically of course. He tightened a fist as he raised his arm to the sky, a thick grin on his face.

He returned to his calm, stone faced, and arrogant demeanor, realising he was expressing way too much emotion for someone as apathetic as him. He tried to pass his burst of emotion as a cough. How the fuck would he do this? No clue. 

"I apologise. I'll take my leave."

He'd begin walking towards the door before looking back.

"So..... I can have those missions right?"

[Christoff]

Isamu casually strolled up to the entrance to the Kage tower. Several months had passed now since his return to the village and he had become one of the familiar faces coming and going. His work had largely remained mundane and ordinary but the Chunin exams were no looming and occupying an increasing presence in his mind. After so many years, so many delays, he was determined not to miss this year's exams.

The Sadojin had formed his desert camo pants and a tactical vest over a black t-shirt. It was his standard on duty attire and he took pains to keep his appearance the same from day to day. Across his back he had formed a large gourd to store extra sand that he had absorbed earlier. wireless radio tuned to the general village frequency was in his left ear and his forehead protector was nested on his head just below his short cropped black hair. At his hip was his thermal enhanced katana and black combat boots rounded out his look.

Isamu entered the tower passing by the security check. HE had become known and the ANBU of the tower seemed largely unconcerned with the presence of weapons in the building. Isamu disproved. If weapons were prohibited that should be enforced, instead, he felt, a loose form of anarchy rained the tower. But those rules were not his to enforce and Isamu would not be caught without a blade or sand while others walked armed to the teeth.

The Genin walked slowly to the main desk waiting his turn before saying to the receptionist, "Good morning, just checking in to receive my next assignment."

(Looking for a mission with Carrot and I wouldn't mind payment for the Crimson Prison Event. I sent a PM about it a couple weeks ago.)

"Good." I've walked this path to know that time would tell if this conviction was true or false. Many have uttered those same words in this very office and failed to make it back. Many more simply gave up. But time would tell. A newcomer walked in. A familiar if stoned face. "Perfect, you two should make a perfect team. Isamu is a talented genin well on his way to chuunin who is heading out on this next exam. I'd like part of his first role as a leader in the village to take you out on the town and do a couple of missions." I'd pause for a moment and stand up from my desk. "Perhaps I see something in you two. Perhaps I simply no longer need these items. I walked over to a desk and pulled out a bag and walked over to my desk. I pulled out a few and placed them on the desk. I would hand pull out 2 stones and hand it over to Isamu. "This is a dust of dryness gem. The other is a gem of presience. Look them up and I hope you find them useful. I have two gem for you as well." I'd offer to the new ninja. "This one is called a plenty stone, and this one is called Colemans traveling stone. Look them up and may your journey be safe." I'd pause for a moment. "Isamu, take him to the village armory to get his items and go run a mission or two with him would you?"

A familiar voice grabbed Isamu's attention and the Genin turned to see his Kazekage talking to another ninja in his office. The receptionist slid a piece of paper across the desk and Isamu took the paper all the while watching the pair. Just as he had in their last meeting it seemed the Kazekage had noticed Isamu before the Genin had noticed him. The Kazekage addressed him inviting Isamu into the conversation and the office, "Perfect, you two should make a perfect team. Isamu is a talented genin well on his way to chuunin who is heading out on this next exam. I'd like part of his first role as a leader in the village to take you out on the town and do a couple of missions."

Isamu's response was quick, "Yes sir." He would process and parse the praise he had received, as well as the rush he had felt at the acknowledgment of the Chuunin exams, later when he was out of the tower. Right now his focus was on maintaining his discipline and attention in the moment. The Kazekage rose and offered Isamu two stones that he took and examined carefully. A dust dryness stone and a gem of prescience. Isamu looked them over before tucking them into a secure pocket of his tactical vest. Shiki offered another stone to the new Genin. The Kazekage paused and Isamu took his opportunity to bow his head deferentially, "Thank you, sir."

Shiki continued, "Isamu, take him to the village armory to get his items and go run a mission or two with him would you?" Isamu answered quickly, "Of course." Now he turned for the first time to the other Genin. The other ninja was still just a kid, younger than Isamu had been when he had graduated from the academy. Now Isamu addressed him, "Let's get your equipment then you'll come along on my mission for today." Isamu glanced down at the paper and the description, "A group of merchants are looking for an escort through the bazaar this afternoon. It should be straightforward." Isamu turned back to the Kazekage looking for his dismissal, "Will that be all sir?"

Taking Mission:

Name: Escort the Middle Class
Rank: "C"rank
IIC Length: 2 days
Difficulty: low
Objective: a group of fairly wealthy people need protection on their journey.
Description: carpenters and merchants alike transport goods from one place to another. It is also just as common to have those goods coveted. Protect the middle class merchant/craftsman/citizen at all costs. Their goods drop location will vary depending on information you are given by the informant at the beginning. So attention to detail and directions are important here. Also if any of the merchandise is damaged the ninja or team will be responsible for their replacement. This mission may be taken by one ninja of any rank or a team consisting of up to four members (one Captian). This mission may be repeated after 1 real life week!
Reward: 30,000 Ryo

"......Huh? Wha?"

He had somehow fallen asleep. How? No fucking clue.


"Sorry, last thing I heard was something coming out of this guy's mouth"

Jomei gestured to Isamu.


"But yeah, I'm down for escorting some people. Boring, but I'm sure they'd be grateful. And that's the point of being a shinobi. Doing what I can to make those around happy, safe, and comfortable."

He would then take the mission with Isamu, and seeing as he was impatient, he would not wait. He would then leave the room, talking to those behind him.


"See ya, Jounin Commander. Isamu, don't be slow. I don't wait for anyone. Unless you're secretly the kage..... Pfft. That'd be a laugh."

He was already down the hall by the time he neared the end of his sentence.

My eyes glared after the kid that seemed to be very casual with me. I wasn't sure how I felt about that exactly. When it was just me and Isamu I paused for a moment. "New Genin have a sort of flare about them don't they?" I'd say with a faint smile. "You show me such custom and courtesy all the time when I feel like I've done little to earn it from you." I'd pause for a moment thinking about how to say my next words. "You are one of the best Genin we have in the village and you will be a remarkable Chuunin before long. In terms of your ninja skill I'd consider you a Chuunin or Even a Jounin already. What needs to be tested is your leadership, I'd like you to take charge of this young lad to train. A new form of training I'd like to pioneer. You are to be his ward, teach him and bring me reports of his training and progress. I wish for you two to train together, sleep in the same building, spar together and for your mentorship and tutelage the village will reward you with both titles, money, land and supplies for you two to use."

The boy's abruptness and impertinence annoyed Isamu but he didn't let it show across his face. The other Genin was still just a boy, but more would be expected of him now that he was a shinobi. Isamu wondered if his family's decision to delay his admission to the academy had been a blessing in a disguise. Those extra ears to grow, mature, and understand the life he was choosing might have made all the difference.

"See ya, Jounin Commander. Isamu, don't be slow. I don't wait for anyone. Unless you're secretly the kage..... Pfft. That'd be a laugh." This last sentence at last elicited a response from Isamu who raised one eyebrow in surprise though the other Genin was already too far gone to catch it. Jounin Commander... Isamu wondered why the Kazekage would tell the new Genin he was the Jounin Commander. Isamu didn't ask, whatever the Kazekage was playing at Isamu would play along until told otherwise.

Now the Kazekage addressed Isamu. Isamu stood still listening all the way though as Shiki laid out Isamu's true mission. Isamu was honored to be charged with duties above and beyond the call of his rank. Isamu paused to compose his thoughts before responding, "The custom and courtesy I offer is yours by virtue of your office, and so long as you continue to protect and strengthen the village it will always remain yours. I will train and guide him as you wish. Everything I know, I owe to the village and it's shinobi. I am always happy to repay that debt."

Isamu sensed the weight of this moment as a deepening connection between him and the Kazekage. Equally too he sensed he time that had elapsed since his charge had sprinted away from him down the hall. Isamu was not worried about catching up to a Genin fresh out of the academy, but neither was he so arrogant as to stake the other Genin an immense head start. Isamu spoke again, "I should catch up with him. I will report back to you after we complete our mission." With that parting remark he would bow his head slightly and walk out of the office back towards the exit.

[Starnaess]

Galadriel entered the tower with no hesitation. She was starting to get a familiar vibe from it - after all she had been completing missions for the kage for some time now. However this time was different, atleast for her. She felt like she could do much more beside guarding the gate. Not that the duty to guard it was a useless one, she respected the role of the village's guards alot, however for the type of skillset that she wanted to develop, it felt to her like she could be much more useful somewhere else - somewhere with a little bit more  action , she was still young and that was part of the reason why she felt that way. Regardless of her reasons, she was there , at the front desk of the tower asking to have her mission accepted.

Name: Missing Carriages
Rank: "C" Rank
IIC Length: 2 Days
Difficulty: Low-Difficult
Objective: Go to a neighbor village and listen to their demands
Description:A village near sunagakure asked for a ninja to help them with some errands. They did not ask for a specific type of ninja nor did they mention anything about the difficulty of the assignment. The ninja's objective is to reach the village and see what the problem is. If it is impossible for said ninja to  solve the problem by him/herself then he/she has to return to sunagakure immediatly and refer what has happened.
Reward: 30,000 Ryo

approved!

[blackninja]

-Enter-

Kermz would make his way calmly through the Sunagakure village. He loved the village he was from and swore he would do the village proud. It is after all, one of the reasons why he decided to become a ninja, among other reasons.


The Sadojin would think to himself and continue to observe his surroundings, taking it step by step. Kermz eventually made it to the Kazekage Tower and he looked at it in awe. His father used to bring him here when he was young as he was also a ninja of the village.


Kermz made his way inside and began to speak to the receptionist."Yeah...um my name is Kermz Sadojin. I was told to speak with the Kazekage as I am a new genin…"

[Deleted]

[The White Wolf]

After a short bit the new Genin would make their way inside the Tower of Sunagakure. Walking towards the tower I'd pause for a moment as I could hear the receptionist outside letting him in. Years of training had bestowed superhuman abilities in myself. The ability to hear through walls and solid structures as if they didn't exist was one such useful technique. The ability to have hearing that rivaled that of blood hound. I noticed something different about this one as I heard his footsteps. I couldn't hear a heartbeat. That caught my attention to say the least.

The moment I saw him enter I'd realize why. His bloodlimit was one I recognized. I'd pause... Look him over as he entered and would give a small smile. "Welcome. My name is Shiki Senri. The Kazekage of the Land of Wind. Who are you?" I'd ask. Already knowing the answer from his report.

Kermz waited patiently until the Kazekage appeared. The male looked incredibly capable and rather skilled. The sadojin thought to himself that it'd be best not to get on his bad side.

"The name is Kermz Sadojin, sir."

Kermz was on his utmost behavior as the Kazekage was someone Kermz grew up learning to respect. His parents had instilled an overall good morale into the boy. Kermz eagerly awaited the males response.

"You honor me." I said at the ninja's formality. I appreciated the sign of respect. Especially knowing how some of the ninja could act when they just graduated from the academy. I'd pause for a moment. "The path you have chosen to walk down is a difficult one. The road is long and full of peril. Only time will tell where it will lead you... Just no so long as you stand with me you shall never stand alone." I would say. I'd reach out from behind my desk and hold out a headband. The headband would have a small seal on the back of it.

"If you'd hold out your hand please." I'd say also holding out a small piece of paper. "This is called a Virve seal. When you touch it I'll able to monitor your life force should your life force start to fail you. I will be able to teleport to you in an instant so long as you keep your headband on your person. This is a secret known only by those in the village. Know that even if you die... As long as I can get to you within 6 seconds I can restore you. All you need to do is channel a bit of your chakra through this paper." After he had done so. I'd hand him his headband. "This is your headband. This gives you authority as a soldier, as a diplomat and as a citizen of our village. So long as you wear it visibly the world shall know that you serve our nation. Acts against you could incite war, people may look to you to protect them, to lead them and as of now. You represent the interests of our nation and village. You are expected for act accordingly and do nothing that paints us in a bad light or puts us at a disadvantage."

I'd smile for a moment. I hated all the red tape. Spelling out what they could or couldn't do. "For your first task I want you to head over to the 'Tailor' and get some gear. He has the details for your first mission."

Kermz would listen to the Kazekage nodding and paying close attention to what was said. Kermz accepted the Headband graciously before heading to the Tailor, his next destination as ordered by the kage.

[Karui Kibo]

[ENTER]

Karui's mind is blank as he stands in front of the kazekage's tower in a daze. He's wearing all black clothing and a cloak covering his entire body, the only thing visible to others are his eyes and his headband signifying that he is indeed a ninja of sungakure.

Karui whilst reminiscing on the first time he was here, enters the tower with a paper for a mission he had in mind. He walks in and quickly notices the two receptionists. Karui walks up to the two slaps the paper on the table and spoke in a calm and collected manner saying "Hey, I'm genin Karui Kibo i'd like to take this mission to guard the front gates, if all goes well I hope to be back here in a few days for my next mission".

The receptionist would blink a few times at the young ninja. She would look at the mission assignment that seemed to be in order and would nod. "Sure thing! Make sure you return as soon as the mission is complete. The village takes any mission where genin has access to the village entrance very seriously." With that the lady would make the ninja sign a part of his chakra into a Virv card, unless the ninja protested to it. "This is to monitor your vitals. We can track our ninja's life forces this way to make sure everything is okay."


Mission accepted. Good luck.

[Soul]

Brynjyr walked into the lobby of the villages Kazekage tower, He had met the kazekage briefly in passing as he congratulated Brynjyr on becoming a genin. The Kazekage had told him to come to the kage tower to receive his standard issue gear. He not knowing what that even was would head there the next day to see what exactly it was, He never turned down free stuff. He walked up to the receptionist desk and seen a rather cute younger lady sitting there answering calls and such. "Good morning, My name is Brynjyr Jarnbjorn and I have recently spoken directly to the kazekage; He told me to stop by and receive my standard issue gear. If you could help me out and let me know where to go i would greatly appreciate it." He then would smile and flirt with the receptionist a small bit as he waited for his answer.

[Deleted]

[The White Wolf]

The receptionist, a blond-haired woman in her mid-twenties kept her hair short and put into a tight bun on the back of her head. She seemed even from a distance to carry a warm sunny disposition that was most easily noticed by her smile and bright blue eyes that sat behind a pair of short half-rimmed glasses. She'd take a moment to listen to you speak and give a curt smile back as she paged the Kazekage... "Certainly. I see this is your first time here since you graduated from the academy. You simply need to put a pinch of your chakra here on this paper and then report over to the village armory for your weapons and gear. It's the older looking keep called 'The Tailor.' Once you're done just take this slip over to the quarter master."

After the process (if the process) was done. The receptionist would hand over the slip to the young ninja.

Brynjyr would focus some chakra on the paper handed to him and then hand it back to the receptionist. He would then graciously take the slip handed to him and wave at the cutie biding her goodbye.
