[4] Kazekage Tower

[Father 'Suke]

He did indeed follow, allowing for Amira to lead the way to the library of which Yoshi was to be putting away her reading material. He heard the light whispers and such that Amira did to herself but did not focus on them too much as they were not all too important for his knowledge. No, instead he focused on the girl who was not returning his gaze at all, whether doing the façade of a body guard or was harmed in some way from what his beta persona spoke, he immediately felt the need to comfort her but he had to hold back.

One of the kage proverbs that Sai drilled into his head were pronounced in his mind. “Any show of weakness can destroy the ship known as the kage.” Even though he ultimately hated that thought, that idea it was something that Yoshi also preached to him time and again. Even though their ages were not all too different, they certainly were well wiser than he. It is difficult to still see himself as the Amekage, and matter of fact he’s thought of giving up time to time and though his eyes were showing this hurt the rest of him remained stoic and rigid until they were away from this place.

Then Yoshi spoke and it was known to him that the scroll were encrypted, that was something he did not expect along the road and though there were several thousand methods to get through such encryptions, none were spared a short enough time. However he cooled his aggravation on this, perhaps this was part of a plan and perhaps it was not part of any plan. Whatever the choice decision he was merely standing to the side and allowed the two of the kunoichi to talk. He on the other hand was to have a chat with his beta persona.

“What are you doing? What could you have possibly have done to make such drastic changes in such short moments,” the inner cortex of his mind was that of a mafia lounge, needless to say it was that of his beta’s will as he inhabited the cortex currently to be kept at bay. The other him was inverted in color, all the colors of which ‘Suke held in the reality world were inverted on the beta, allowing him to appear much disfigured in this place as it were. ‘Suke nonetheless gazed with hated eyes at this man, wondering what he did and why he did it.

The beta merely tapped a cigar upon an ash tray, smiling with a brutal gaze upon his face as his legs were crossed. “I merely did things that you could not for a decade. I let your withheld anger out upon the bitch that ruined us. She has twisted you into this thing that cannot go on any longer and so I must decide what comes next as you are incapable of doing so.” Drawing a drag out of the cigar he breathed the smoke towards ‘Suke. The antics here didn’t allow reason to be crossed with discord but the gray area the two share was blurred for a moment.

Alpha ‘Suke gazed with hate in his eyes before beta tutted at that, “Now now, you wouldn’t want me to take control again now would you?” A cackling laugh escaping his lips as he said this, “Compassion and understanding, two things you hold so close and dear don’t even come close to what a leader should do. You knew this since you were first told of the job of Amekage and now look at you. You are weak, easily broken, and most of all you have a crutch that is pregnant. You know how much I can break her since you clearly have no control of me.”

With this the Alpha approached the beta, hand gripping the beta’s neck for a moment as he began to squeeze, “Don’t ever threaten Yoshi. Harm me all you want but you will never hurt the one I care for. You are the abomination, not me. You have the corruption, not me. You are the one to be detested, not me.” Though ‘Suke said all these things his beta merely smiled with a kindred laugh, “Sure sure, I might be those things but look at what you are doing. Any harm you do to me in this place will surely harm yourself out there. You think the toy will want to see you with a purpling hand print on your neck.”

Alpha merely kept squeezing until it became too hard to breath, in reality he was slumped back against the wall, his eyes open and watching whatever the girls were doing while his body did indeed appear the purplish hue among the neck. “You see already that you are an abomination, corrupt, and detested for just being you.” His mental state of the beta slowly blowing away like the smoke he blew, “Just remember you are not perfect and I will get free. When I do you will find yourself in larger problems than now.”

The inner world fell apart and the alpha persona had nothing but fell to the darkening abyss of reality once more, his eyes flickering with life as he slowly stood erect once more, no longer slouching. He eyed around the area before looking upon the individuals ahead and merely kept close watch on them, wondering what all they talked of. Ideally it was to seem that he merely blacked out for the few moments that passed, yet he ran a hand along his neck, feeling the soreness on it as he held only a worried expression that revealed itself on his face, the ominous words “for now” in his head.

[Tetsu]

"Sure, let me go and get you the translated codex so you can read the scroll...I forgot about the codex" she said smiling as she walked back to the scrolls shelf that resided in the very back. Taking a pair off the shelf, she deftly reached behind the shelf thought the small ports to pull out a much smaller scroll. Taking the little codex from the shelf, she swiftly took the code to Yoshi. "Here you go, maybe this will help." Amira said placing the code into the table.

She watched Ryosuke in concern as he suddenly slouched over a little bit. "Are you okay?" She asked wearing a face of general concern. Was it something I said? She thought to herself as he suddenly went back to a standing position. Hopefully he was alright, she thought to herself Yoshi hopefully read the scrolls with the code to help her understand the codex. Amira stood, quietly awaiting the pair to do as the pleased for the time being before they returned to the rain village.

TAGGED: LYNX

Looking curiously at Amira, it seemed that it hadn't been her intention to insult the girl, nor the intention to make fun of her. It was just an oversight, and an oversight was easy to forgive. Smiling warmly, the girl accepted teh cypher, studying it carefully. Looking at the cypher, the girl seemed to have a small tremor going through her entire body. Suddenly everything was starting to make sense, as she was computing the information that she had gained. The village scrolls were being translated, but soon she realised that she wouldn't have time to simply sit there and read. Taking a deep breath, she rose from her position, and folded another set of seals, creating yet another shadowclone. Handing over the cypher to the shadowclone, she turned to look at Amira. "I will let my Shadowclone remain behind and read, if you do not mind. That way, if any information comes up that you would want to share to us, or questions you would like to ask, I will be able to answer while here. Likewise, Amekage-sama will be able to project himself in for discussions if you ever need an immediate exchange. Other than that, I will expect to be leaving as soon as Amekage-sama is ready." Stepping a few steps ahead and taking a deep breath, she was prepared to leave whenever Ryosuke was. Already now, she had gained enough information on behalf of Amegakure. The mission that she was given was a success..! The only part remaining for her Jounin exam, was returning to Amegakure with Ryosuke in one piece...

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: "Clone Seal"
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after 1 or 2 solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. (Cannot gain extra training points through training with Shadow clone.) User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a "B" Rank Jutsu. Shadow Clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique. Must be Chūnin or gain Village Scroll.

[Father 'Suke]

‘Suke was doing better, everything under control and the like as he looked about to the other two and though Amira expressed a form of concern he merely nodded with a steady gaze, “Yes. I’m doing alright.” He was ready to leave though, it wasn’t going to be getting better if all he did was sit around in the heated village. No, he needed to get back to his home and hopefully sort things out along the way. It was all coming together though and with a look to the new shadow clone and then Yoshi who expressed means of which they can discuss he was fully ready. “Let us be on our way. Again Lady Kazekage, many graces upon you for this meeting and may our villages thrive on what we built here this day.” With this he departed with a bow, politeness keeping firm and steady as he moved tranquil through the building after gathering their bags, they were ready to go home.

[Yoshi [Lynx!]]

Approved for Tetsu and Kusanagi. Both have been paid.

[Tetsu]

"Those two." Amira said with a smile as the pair took their leave. with her payment in hand and her business at the office settled, Amira longed for some relaxation. Walking back upstairs to the main hallway, the Kazekage gazed upon the epicenter of her village with pride. This is what things should be like, she thought as she began to walk slowly towards the exit. She still had a long day ahead of her, and things would surly become more serious as the day went along. Silently She walked out into the warm sun, and into the new day.

[exit]

[Kamehameha]

Having been been standing in the Kazekage's office thinking about his plans, Kusanagi snapped into reality to find everyone who was in the office gone. Having received his cash, there was nothing left in the tower to do. Now that he was granted his payment he was free to go home to rest. He quietly went out the Kazekage's office, closed the door behind and made his way to the lobby hoping to find Amira. Sadly Amira was already gone when Kusa walked into the lobby. Guess I'll see her tomorrow. he thought, dragging his legs out of the tower.

Exit.

[Tetsu]

[enter]

The young Kazekage returned to the tower that she called home once again with a new motive in mind. As she entered, she checked her gear list that consisted of her usual attire. Her sleeveless fish-netting covered her torso under her tan Sunagakure type 2 tactical vest, and The vest was equipped with a full slot of Bo shurken within the front Breast pockets. Her right scroll pocket housed her 80 exploding tags as well. Her long pants went about to her lower shin before leg wrappings covered her legs before meeting her black sandals. Her belt was fitted with a type 1 butt bag that held 8 kunai knives. The quadruple knife holster was strapped to her right leg, and housed 2 kunai knives in the upper holsters, and two slots of bo shuriken in the lower holsters. Her hat that deemed her as the Kazekage hung on her belt to her left, covering her wire reel which housed a 90m bundle of wire.
Her dark hair was tied back in a poofy ponytail that helped expose the long scar that ran across the bridge of her nose and her Sunagakure headband. 

With her hat on, She was clearly marked as Sunagakure's Kazekage. She nodded to the woman at the front desk who allowed her entrance towards her office that resided down the hall. "come on this way..." She would say if Isuma followed her into the tower. As she entered the quint office with a sight air of business as she pulled herself over to her chair that had her cloak draped over it. "go ahead and take a seat." She would say to Isuma if he came with her to her office. If not then she would simply sit down at her desk and begin to busy herself with preparing the next missions for the village that had been requested by individuals. "So, I wanted to discuss with you the prospects of joining my squad for a few missions?" she asked looking at the fellow who was made completely out of sand. "I have high hopes of having yourself and kusanagi ready for the next chuunin exams in a few months." she said plainly as she said pulled her hat off and placed it on the desk.

"so what do you say?" she asked him as she leaned forward on her desk to look over at the team request forms that she had upon her unorganized desk that housed all of the mission release forms and other papers that were to be filled out by the kage. Being the leader of a village was no easy work, but Amira found it manageable.

Isamu followed the Amira into the tower. He appeared as if he was wearing a tactical vest with a tight fitting long sleeve black shirt underneath it. He wore black pants that ran all the way down to his feet where he was wearing a fairly standard pair of sandals. Of course the reality was all of this was created out of sand and colored with a henge. The Genin didn't have any of his weaponry on him, having opted not to bring it with him to the ring. This certainly made security on the way into the tower easier.

Isamu gave a small nod to the receptionist at the desk. It would have been rude to pass her by without acknowledging her and he was fairly certain anything more than a nod would be unwelcome. She never struck him as one for small talk. The Sadojin followed the Kazekager into her the office. As the Kazekage took a seat at her desk Isamu accepted her invitation to sit and settled into a chair facing her desk as she began to speak "So, I wanted to discuss with you the prospects of joining my squad for a few missions? I have high hopes of having yourself and kusanagi ready for the next chuunin exams in a few months. So what do you say?"

Isamu was shocked. The opportunity to be on a squad led by the Kazekage herself? How could he say no? While he did not know who Kusanagi was he was equally thrilled to hear that he was under consideration for the next Chuunin Exam. He would not miss this opportunity. He cleared his throat to buy time to process the information before responding, "Serving on your personal squad would be a tremendous honor. I accept." Isamu waited anxiously for her next response. The day had taken several very unexpected turns.

[Coal]

The doors to the Kazekage Tower would open, a bit of the sands outside sneaking into the foray, a man in a brown cloak stepping into the building. Those doors would close behind him, as is the courtesy of the lands, then the man would step forward to the clerk that was waiting there. The two would greet with a wave, obviously the clerk was familiar with the messenger, even going so far as to be pleasantly surprised to see him again. In the messenger’s hand was a letter for the Kazekage, as was the norm for such dealings. The message itself was fairly simple, written in an elegant script.

‘Kage of the Sands. Meet with me in your Embassy. This sacrifice of blood should be more than enough to summon you.’

Once the Kazekage would read the letter, no matter how long it would take him to get to it, it would be time for the messenger to act. He would stiffen and gaze at the Kage, his expression was haunted, his eyes seemed hollow and without any other emotion except for intense fear. A blade was produced from the cloak, a dagger in the make of the Wind Country, and he held it up to his throat. “He comes! He comes on wings of gold and rides winds as black as the heart!” With that, the messenger stabbed the blade into his throat, spilling his blood in a gushing pool down his throat and into his cloak, pulling the blade across the flesh and through both jugular veins. He dropped to the floor soon after to continue to leak blood on the floor of the Kage Tower.

[Tetsu]

"I'm glad you agree, then I suppose we should..." Amira said towards Isamu as sudden one of the shinobi from her villages embassy came bursting into her office. "Excuse me, is there a message?" Amira asked noticing the paper letter that was swiftly handed to her. The young Kazekage read over the demand very quickly in hopes of something more pleasing then what now lay before her. Sacrifice? She thought to herself as she noticed the embassy fellow drawing a weapon. I'm that instant, Amira's battle instincts kicked into action. In the instant that he weapon was revealed, Amira instantaneously drew one of her kunai knives from her easy access knife holster on her thigh. Pulling the blade back by her ear, in a swift motion, the Kazekage hurled the blade at the fellows hand in an attempt to disarm him.

Amira knew that the fellow was only a "D" ranked civilian by the fact that he was under her employment. Taking that Into account the less than 2 meter range from where the fellow now stood by her desk was more than sufficient to flawlessly disarm the fellow. As the blade left Amira's right hand, she quickly began to focus chakra into her right arm. She quickly flashed the boar, dragon, ram, and the boar handseals as her kunai disarmed the fellow sending the two blades clattering onto the sandstone floor. In that instant, Amira began to have six binding branches launch from her arm to wrap around the fellow's body. With the distance they were at (presumably still around 1-2 meters) the binding pillars made quick work of the fellow locking down his arms, legs, torso, and creating a gentle support around the neck to prevent any self inflicted neck injuries. She had this fellow on lock down.

"What is the meaning of this! Explain yourself." She said sternly motioning for Isamu to go and check the fellow's person for any more weapons. "You're going to talk...now." She said as she sat there assuming the fellow remained silent. If he wouldn't talk, Amira would swiftly look over at Isamu. "I need a squad from the wolf ANBU division brought to my office now...go to the clerk and have her send for one please." She would say calmly keeping an eye on the fellow as he would inevitably be stuck tangled up in the mess of wooden pillars, unable to move. This all depended on if the fellow would be willing to talk.

[Oh. You want me to talk for him. haha. Alright, I got you.]

The shinobi craned his neck to the Kage and began to speak, although it seemed to be in a more musical tone, yet it was rough and ugly coming from that common throat. Belial was speaking through the man. “Kage. I’m glad I got your attention. The message should have been clear enough, although you stopped the sacrifice. Come to the Embassy. I don’t expect you to be alone, for I am not a fool. I will await you.” The messenger blinked twice as if waking from a dream or a nightmare, shivering and sweating, as he looked at his Kage.

“He…he’s in my mind...like I’m a puppet. Help…please…kill me. I can feel him, his slimy grasp on my soul! Wings of gold in the sunlight…” The dazed look returned to the shinobi, suspended from the pillars of wood, and then a grin came to his face. “I do love allowing them to speak sometimes, to know that I have their souls and bodies. Pitiful mud monkeys. I’ll see you soon…Kage.” He left the messenger slack through command, forcing his body to go into stasis. Belial had given them all he planned to give for now.

[Christoff]

Isamu was listening with rapt attention to the Kazekage when the door burst open and the messenger entered. The genin was startled and glanced over his shoulder, he supposed that it must be important if the messenger had entered without announcement. Isamu returned his attention to his leader who was reading the letter. He was fairly sure the Kazekage would ask for the room and as a result he was sitting on the edge of his chair when the glint of the messenger's knife caught his eye.

The Genin sprang to his feet in defense of his Kage. Isamu's first instinct was to reach for his sword. This proved to be the wrong instinct as his hand grasped air. His sword and all of his weapons were sitting back at his apartment on the edge of the Wind District. His Kage's instincts were true however, and the messenger's knife was sent flying from his hands as the Kage used her binding pillars technique to secure the man. The technique that he had seen her use on the strongman seemed to be just as effective here.

The Kage's demeanor had become more authoritative. The Kage gestured between Isamu and the messenger. The Genin took the gesture to mean he was meant to search the man and so he strode over to the wooden prison and began patting the man down feeling for unusual shapes or objects. The wooden binding made it difficult but Isamu was able to compress his fingers until they were nearly flat and slide them between some of the pillars. He also made special note to search for less bulky items like exploding tags that could more easily be missed. If he found anything he would immediately report it the Kazekage.

As Isamu conducted his search the conversation between the man and the Kazekage filled him with an ominous sense of foreboding. Possession? Was such a thing even possible? What was all of the talk about golden wings and souls? The man could be insane but the changes in his voice and the way he had pleaded for death made Isamu suspect something sinister. Perhaps some kind of advanced Genjutsu. There were many marvelous abilities in this world that did great good, surely there must be some capable of great evil as well. After completing his search the Genin turned back to his Kage awaiting further instructions and leaving his questions unasked. This was not the time for him speculate or press for answers, it was the time to follow orders.

Searching for weapons and dangerous objects on the messenger.

As the messenger fell limp, Amira released the wooden binding. "M'lady...?" One of the desk clerks asked as she peeked through the door. "Commander Desubi is here to see you." She said as the wolf masked ANBU commander strode into the room with two other masked members. "Good timing commander." She said motioning towards the unconscious fellow on the ground. "Please search this fellow head for me, and keep him from killing himself." The young Kazekage said as the two ANBU members quickly snatched up the messenger to take him back to the headquarters of the ANBU black ops...that she had bombed just a little over a year ago. "Now commander, what can I do for you?" She asked Desubi as he took a seat while Isamu continue to stand.

"Lady Kazekage, we have received reports from the embassy...it appears that it was attacked by what was reported as a winged man..." The commander said emotionlessly through his mask. "I've figured as much..." She said looking back down at the embroidered letter that had requested her presence. What would she do? The Kazekage though as she came to think about how facing such a foe that could manipulate people's wills might put her village in a poor spot if she were to fall victim to such a technique. However, more people would die if she didn't go. Her good nature began to conflict her as his bit down on her lip. "Commander...I'll send a team out at once, thank you for this information." She said gritting her teeth as she pulled out a mission request form and began to write.

"Isamu, it seems your first mission on team one came a bit earlier then I had originally expected...don't disappoint me." She said sternly as she as she looked up to give the Genin a wholehearted smile. She knew that her team would have to be the best of the best if they were going to survive against someone with such a powerful technique. She looked over a few of the mission files and too out the two that she had been searching for, the Genjutsu user, the siren, and another person she had in mind. Kusanagi would have to sit this one out, but all the same she would let him know what was going on. Taking the moment, Amira wrote out three different letters. One was addressed to Tetsu's team in the land of tea, another for someone else, and he third was for the rain village. She swiftly finished her notes and whistled for three messenger cats to go and deliver the messages. "Now let's get ready to prepare for this mission...and the knife there on the floor is yours." She indicated towards the knife she had disarmed only moments ago. Donning her hat and pulling her cloak over her tactical vest, Amira prepared for the worst as she would make for the exit hopefully with Isamu in tow.

Isamu didn't find any further weapons on the messenger and he had just ended his search when the clerk poked her head through the door, "Commander Desubi is here to see you." Isamu had never personally met any of the high ranking officials in the village before and in one day he had met the Commander of the Wolf Division and the Kazekage herself. The day had certainly taken many crazy turns but Isamu didn't have time to let it all sink in. He needed to keep himself on edge, he felt confident there would be more danger and more twists before the day was out.

After the Kazekage finished her conversation with Commander Desube and the three masked ANBU removed the messenger from the office she turned to Isamu, "Isamu, it seems your first mission on team one came a bit earlier then I had originally expected...don't disappoint me." The Kazekage flashed a reasuring smile but the challenge in her statement had Isamu fired up. He knew this was his big break, a chance to step up and play a larger role in the strength of the village. His response was level and respectful, not revealing any of his inner fire, "Of course my lady." As the Kazekage dispatched her messages Isamu tried not to think about the days events. While he had been a Genin for several years he had primarily been occupied with low level missions and escort missions for various Sadojin caravans. He had never faced this level of danger and had no idea how he would react.

The Kazekage finished dispatching her messenger cats, "Now let's get ready to prepare for this mission...and the knife there on the floor is yours." Isamu followed the Kazekage out. Picking up the knife on the way out. He hesitated at the door and looked down at the knife. A fitting souvenier he supposed, maybe he'd be able to return it to whoever was attacking the embassy.

Amira sighed as she spent her day walking into the office once again. "Damn...not even noon yet, and I'm already swamped." She grumbled unhappily as she took a seat at her desk. Shuffling through the many papers that she had to go through before the day was over, Amira suddenly saw one that resembled a mission sheet upon her desk, she sighed with annoyance. "Gah...I was suppose to visit the academy today, Damnation!" She exclaimed slowly picking herself up from her seat and taking the mission slip in her hand.

Slowly Amira reached under her desk and pulled out an ink pad and a stamp. She normally used these to approve missions, but decided that even with the mission being her own, the proper channels would have to be followed. Slowly taking the stamp and rolling it in the red ink, Amira pressed the stamp
Upon the paper so that the Sunagakure seal of Kage approval appeared on the paperwork. "Ugh...I'm just so busy." She said taking the now approved mission slip in hand, and advancing out into the main lobby. Slowly closing her office's door, she swiftly headed towards the tower's second floor to meet the teacher that would be telling her about her visit to the school

Amira sighed as she took her time climbing up the stairs. "This is such a pain in the butt." The Kazekage complained as she reached to top of the stair case to find a frazzled looking woman who appeared confused as she appeared before her. "Hey, so one Kazekage ready to visit these school kids." She said sarcastically as the woman began to speak so quickly that Amira could barely understand her. "Woah lady, calm down!" Amira exclaimed as she tried to comprehend what it was that this woman was talking about. "Oh...well um, apologies lady Kazekage, you are wise enough to teach the class much more than I...however the curriculum set by the board of education only approves these three books here for Shinobi story time." The woman informed the Kage as she pulled out a basket full of books from behind the chair that she must have been sitting in well before Amira had entered the room.

"Alright..." Amira said reluctantly as she pulled the three books from the basket and began to look over each one. First was the ABC's book that seemed less than interesting. Second was a story book and the third was unspeakably God awful. Sighing Amira took the most educational out of the three books into her hand and stuffed it into her butt bag. "Welp, I guess it's story time with the Kazekage." She joked as she slowly walked away so that she could simply leave the tower and get this over with. "Looks like my days of missions are still not over." She said sadly as she exited the building with a sense of preoccupation.

It was a hot day in the desert village of Sunagakure but then, when was it ever not? Masao had dressed appropriately; his outfit might’ve look strange to some but the bandaging that covered his body and the cloak that was worn loosely over it would prevent any chance of him feeling the sun directly on his skin. The cloak was designed to carry all of his equipment for which he would take on missions that required him to be combat ready. Concealed inside was a number of pills, small knives, various tools and of course his swords and gauntlets.

Over the bandaging he wore standard issue chunin gear with small differences that were due to the amount of combat Masao saw. The pants were tattered at the bottom with obvious marks of burning and multiple crude attempts to stitch together areas in which a blade had sliced through the material. The vest and shirt underneath were just as tattered on the hem of each sleave and at the bottom around the waist. The vest sporting a number of deep red splash stains across the front. On his right arm Masao had his headband which looked just as worn as the rest of his clothing but he didn’t care as it didn’t affect his combat in any manner. His face up to his hair was completely bandaged save for a slit in which his eyes could see.

He got a few looks as he walked through the village to the Kazekage’s tower but it hadn’t bothered him as he truly didn’t care what anyone else thought of him. The Kage had called for him after all and he didn’t have time to waste so even if someone were to push his buttons enough he would have been forced to ignore them. The man opened the front doors to the tower and headed towards the main desk. His fierce eyes stared intently at the person behind the desk as he began to speak. “Where is the Kage? I was called for. My name is Masao Kunishige.”

Entered the tower subtlety as she had finished her first mission in ages. "Damn that was annoying." She said taking the mission sheet to the clerk who was obviously occupied with someone who demanded to see her. Sliding the mission slip into the desk, Amira began to head to her office before hearing someone demand to see her. When she heard Masao Kunishige mention his name she knew that he was just responding to her correspondence. "The Kazekage happens to be right here Masao" the 5'2" fourteen year old little girl said standing right behind the tattered bandaged fellow.

Amira was dressed in her usual uniform attire. Her chest was covered by a dark colored elbow length sleeved shirt that resided under her tan tactical best that housed most of her gear. Her hat and Cloak were still up in her office, but her butt bag was attached to her belt. She didn't wear any headdress, exposing her short mess of dark hair. Her face was joyful and in scourged except for the long jagged scar that ran across the bridge of her nose. Her pants were standard issue, with leg wrappings and all around her sandals. Her quadruple knife holster was fixed to her right leg as well. All in all she gave then appearance of a shinobi. "Masao, how about you come with me to my office?" She offered gesturing towards the room down the hall that was indeed her office.

Masao's attention instantly snapped to the small girl that was his Kazekage. It irritated him that someone so young and small could be in such a high position of power. Especially when someone like him could easily break her neck before anyone would react. Masao played with the thought, his attention going to each individual guard nearby and then back to the girl. It wouldn't take him less than a second to turn her into a fine red mist and that amused him. Though he knew a person wouldn't get into such a position of power unless they had something to display their own strength. He doubted she would be able to stop him but he knew better than to attempt an assassination of whom he had no knowledge on what they were capable of.

Masao would bow to the presence of his kage in order to show his "respect" for the girl. In actuality he was merely keeping up appearances, he didn't care for any one person's life other than his own. The only exception to this was a busty brunette that would be willing to show her breasts to him. As they arrived in her office she would explain to him the situation with rain and that he was to escort her as a guard something he was fine with. "I bet there's quite a few hot ladies in rain" following those thoughts he had mental images of some of the beautiful women he's seen around the world in lewd poses. The thoughts made his nose bleed and a large goofy grin appeared across his face though it wouldn't be visible. Content with finding out his new job he would wave off to the kage and head back home to gather any remaining things he had before heading towards the gate.
