Meikei Water Base, Leader Office (Mizukage office)

[shigetsu]

NPC: Handing the young shinobi the papers dealing with her mission, the receptionist would simply nod and then smile. "Here you go," the young secretary said with a youthful tone. "Good luck, and return here for your pay."

[hayate]

Sachi noded taking the papers as she swiftly left the room to head off to her mission. Hopefully she should be back soon for her pay if all went according to plan.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

The passage of time seemed to proceed, never halting, never favouring any specific person. The young woman had completely lost track of the time, pen moving along documents rapidly. There was a lot of work to be done, she had consistently checked the map of the old village as she prepared. Once everything was finally out of the way, she let out a sigh of relief. Now was the time to settle her mind, overworking was not a good thing and that's all she had done quietly, allowing assistants to handle more simpler tasks whilst important tasks were done within her office.

Easing herself up from her chair, she'd soon slide it under the desk and look around once more before leaving her office. She needed to head 'home' for awhile, then make a trip to visit someone.

|Exit|

[hayate]

[enter] Sachi beamed as she walked into the room it was time to recieve her pay for the mission she had just completed. It felt good to have done a mission correctly with nothing bad going off. Everything had gone according to plan. "I have finished my mission I would like my pay please"

Sachi's Mission

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Having been rather kept up on missions and such, the figure to answer the young girl's call would be none other than Hibari Takuya, father of the Mizukage. In response to the girl's cheerful mood, he'd respond back. "Congrats! Come on over and let me get your pay." he'd duck down under the desk, grasping for an envelope with Ryo from a drawer. The total amount inside was 1300, to which he'd toss to her while calling out: "Head's up!"

He couldn't help but smile, noticing the new generation of Kirigakure seemed to be making their way. Yet there was a new evil that was beginning to lurk within this village, though he wasn't quite sure of what, he was just getting a bad feeling. He'd have to act quickly but where to begin and what clues were present; that he wasn't sure.

"Say little lady, would you like to do another mission?" He tried to smile slightly, despite the weary thoughts now in his mind.

{paid}

[hayate]

Sachi smiled catching her pay. It was nice to recieve some encouragement. "Hmm I'll take a mission another time I gotta go train." With that she left the building to go train.

[zieg]

Jin having had made it through the maze, would find himself within the corridors of the base. He headed straight to the Mizukage's office, where he had an idea in mind to make his day a little more interesting. He knocked on the door, wondering whom could be inside. Often the office was filled with shinobi, or clients, or anyone else that might feel the need to be there, thus he would make himself a proper entrance.

After knocking, allowing the sound to echo through both sides of the door, he would grab for the knob and twist, pushing the door, and walking in.

"Hello?" He spoke as he walked in. He was looking for the Mizukage but several people were within the room.

[Falorein]

Hayasa walked with the intention which had been on his mind all day he needed to see the kage or somebody to get back in touch with the mist all he had been doing was training.He continued down the hallway untill he reached the last stretch and as he looked towards the doorway of there was zieg standing there holding the door open , he smiled slightly he had not seen since that evil spawn of himself was born .After a moment of staring he shouted to him "Zieg behind you "Hayasa smiled a big grin waiting for his friend to turn his head and spot him.

[zieg]

OOC: *coughIamJincough*

[Itaru]

The maze was overcome by the Kamyuja without a lot of difficulty, having done it several times prior. He soon found himself within the Base, but he didn't expect to see Jin here waiting to speak with the Mizukage. Ziro expected himself to have arrived first, but the young Hyuuga had beat him here. Ziro approached the familiar face. Their wait wouldn't be too lengthy, or so Ziro hoped. He wasn't sure how busy Lady Mizukage was on this day, but he wouldn't be surprised if they were stuck taking a number before several others.

Upon coming to Jin's side, Ziro prepared to express who impressed he was to see Jin here already, but he noticed another. Hayasa, the Genin from days ago. Ziro didn't know much about the young man, but he remembered their last encounter. It wasn't the best way for Ziro to match the face to a name, but there was no reason for him to feel uneasy. Yet, he couldn't shake himself free from the sensation of his skin crawling. He seemed to have this feeling a lot as of late. Perhaps it was nothing for him to be concerned over.

If only it was that easy.

The sooner he could get in to see the Mizukage, the sooner he could return to his own training. It seemed like forever since Ziro last saw his training area. Ziro then reminded himself he wished to request Jin to train with him when they were done here. Traveling through the maze caused this to slip his mind. Ziro raked his hand through his spiked black hair and leaned his shoulder into the wall to his right. As he let the bordem creep along his nerves, a sleeping spell was cast over him. He blinked several times before shaking his head left to right. He just took recognition to how long he'd gone without sleep. His hand covered his jaws as a yawn escaped his lungs, and he was forced to remain waiting.

[Falorein]

OOC:Yeah sorry about that I realised that just before I got on Im reallly sorry and embarressed :S


Hayasa turned to see Ziro approaching as he was waited for jin to acknowledge him, he stared for a brief moment and remebered the pain and suffering he had been put through.But on the other hand he might have saved him, he thought for a moment had he hurt him or saved him he was confused he did unlock the evil side of him but that side might of been there and got him later.

It was confusing,though as he thought he stared into those eyes and found not that sense of fear and evil, but complete and utter calmness and peace of himself he smiled and ran over to Ziro and lunged onto him giving him a hug.Like a little kid ,Hayasa looked up and smiled a broad grin, his eyes glisteing as he said " Thankyou Ziro,Thankyou .As he continued to thank the nin Hayasa felt tears begin to well in his eyes .

[Itaru]

His yawn was interupted in an instant, and Ziro's jaws snapped shut. An embrace constricted him around the torso, ocean blue hues widened in confusion. It took him a while to actually realize what had occured in that moment. Ziro's chin lowered towards his collar bone to gaze down at the same Genin who expressed such terror during their last encounter. Was Hayasa planning something against Ziro, or was there another side to this unexplainable behavor?

"Thank you, Ziro. Thank you." Hayasa's voice repeated, but his words couldn't be fully processed. Ziro was left to wonder, what could Hayasa be so thankful about that small traces of salty tears gathered around his eyes? The glimmer in Hayasa's saturated eyes drew a strange feeling in Ziro's stomach, as he would if he was just seconds away from vomiting. It felt as though a massive amount of weight was clinging to his shoulders. What were these emotions dwelling deep in his center? Ziro was almost quivering like a terrified rabbit as he stared down at Hayasa, but he just couldn't begin to understand why he was feeling this way. Mouth agape, blue optics expanded, Ziro was left speechless.

Words couldn't describe it, but as the seconds passed in silence, Ziro's muscles had relaxed at long last. There was no fear, but he was engulfed in relentless confusion. Hayasa, a young man Ziro had only met once, had expressed graditute Ziro couldn't believe possible. Especially when he took the terms these two had been on into consideration. He spent all this time believing that Hayasa saw something morbid in Ziro when they first met, maybe even something that scared him horrendusly. Afterall, Hayasa had indeed collapsed to the ground before Ziro's eyes, conconsciousness slipped from his grasp.

"Hayasa, I..." The Chuunin couldn't find the words, leaving him to stutter patheticly. "I...don't...underst-" He swallowed hard and reluctantly placed his hands on Hayasa's shoulders. He gently pulled their connected bodies apart and gazed calmly into the Genin's eyes. A small, seemingly shy grin curved Ziro's lips. He gave a long sigh, releasing all unknown emotions from his body. The entirety of his mood lightened, and he expressed it with the content look on his face. "You're very welcome." A small laugh shook Ziro's throat, and he playfully ruffled Hayasa's hair. "You're a good kid." All of Ziro's thoughts about Hayasa had altered completely. Overall, Ziro saw a good ninja in Hayasa; an impressive Mist Shinobi with great potential.

[Falorein]

"You're a good kid." Hayasa watched the change of emotion in the nins face, as Ziro ruffled his hair, Hayasa smiled back at the nin. He thought for a moment, “good kid” was he really a kid, then he thought back through meetings with other people, he barely had any. But the ones he did have, he had acted like a kid and at first he was a bit embarrassed, he shrugged it off, someone had actually been nice to him besides people humoring him.Hayasa grinned broader then anytime before, he was standing in between to friends Jin and Ziro, probably his only two.

Hayasa then stared at the pair for a moment then asked bluntly what he had come to this office for “So ummm I wanted to know something” he said shyly then pausing for a brief second he continued “Is there anything that I need to know about the village, I have been training since that day at the hospital when I got out?” he stopped and closed his mouth waiting for a reply hoping these two nin would know about things. He stared at them and began two shift his feet shyly, still overjoyed with the fact he had friends.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

With time passing, Takuya had already left the office leaving it empty; spare the chuunin and the two genin within the office. One of which was in ANBU, whilst the other still learning and finding his path. A brief knock on the door before entering would be Hinagiku's choosen course of action. She'd expected her father or one of her other assistants to be in working on paperwork but instead she was greeted by the sight of Ziro, Jin, and Hayasa. Her left eyebrow raised in curiosity.

"Am I...interrupting something?"

Odd for her to ask considering this was her office but she'd slowly make her way to her desk. Surely the guys weren't here to enjoy each other's company. Rather, they'd probably be reporting in on their mission, which caused her to look around for the last remaining team member; Ryuu. Her expression soon changed to that of worry. Had her been slain whilst in Hi no Kuni? Kirigakure's stunt there must have surely rattled the Hokage's chain. Last she understood, the Hokage was a Hyuuga whom was rather secreative. Little did she know that the Kage's had since changed in the village of leaf.

"So then, a report on your mission is due as well as word on your teammate."

Best to jump right into the heart of the matter at hand, small talk could wait for later.

[Enter]

[Itaru]

Before being given the chance to explain to Hayasa the information he sought, Ziro's head turned and his eyes rested on the Mizukage herself. "Am I... interupting something?" she questioned, with good reason, especially if she noticed how Hayasa embraced Ziro in graditute. Ziro gave a small, nervous laugh before he readied himself to reply. "No, ma'am." He said simply, and watched her approach her desk. Ziro expected Ryuu to have been here by now, but alas he was nowhere to be seen. Lady Mizukage's request for a summary on their mission caused Ziro to look to Jin. It was Jin who seemed to know more about the mission, but Ziro would share the information he had memorized in his head, which was the best he could give her Ladyship.

"Lord Hokage was accompanied by a skilled Jounin, who easily saw though Ryuu's disguise. Seeing the body of Raiden Haru brought out intense rage in Lord Hokage, but there was no need to resort to violence once Jin throughly explained to him the details of our mission. Lord Hokage accepted the body of Haru and took the documents. Bluntly, our mission was successful." Ziro showed a small smile on his face, but then recalled her other worry about their third and final team member. "Ryuu simply hasn't made his appearance here as of yet, but we all left the Land of Fire unharmed." Another recollection hit Ziro's mind after a short moment of silents.

"Oh, and Lord Hokage wanted for you to know, he says 'hello' to you, Lady Mizukage." There wasn't much else Ziro could think of to mention, so his sights were removed from his Kage to look back at Jin, the young, but experienced Genin of Mist. He waited to see if Jin had anything more to add, but if there was nothing, he would look back to Mizukage and wait for her to speak once again. Ziro would make damn sure he understood every detail of a mission before he took it on. He allowed himself to feel so insecure back in the Fire Country, he had put not only his own life in danger, the the lives of Jin and Ryuu. Contemplating commencing a battle between the Hokage himself to avoid certain death was one the most naive things Ziro had allowed to slip through his mind. So foolish...

[Falorein]

OOC: Sorry if it is a bit short

Am I...interrupting something?"

Hayasa jumped a little at this barely, noticing another presence, at first he ignored the interruption hoping to get his answer but ziro had turned his attention to this new presence. As he turned to see this presence, he noticed Ziro started to speak “No, ma’am.”At these words hayasa was a bit dumbfounded then it hit him it was the lady mizukage!


He paused and just watched for a while as Ziro told her about a mission they had just completed, as Ziro continued to speak Hayasa thought for a moment: he had never met the mizukage and thought now was the best time to do it. Ziro stopped speaking,
at this Hayasa came to attention he had been waiting for a break, he turned towards the lady and stepped forward nervously. Hayasa stared at her for a brief moment before saying “My lady, I would like to introduce my self formally I am Hayasa Kyoudo, Genin and completely loayal to the mist" He Bowed his head slightly hoping he was not being to rude and straight forward.

[zieg]

Odd for Hayasa to have appeared again in this opportune time. Seems like everyone was making a small appearance here and there, but Hayasa mainly concentrated on Ziro. Jin would look to the two, as he remembered the moment they shared together, but it wouldn't have been anything too serious. Simply Ziro's raw power rendering Hayasa hospitable. Shame too.

Eventually the Mizukage made it back to her office. Jin and Ziro would go to attention. Funny how Ryuu was the first to take off, yet would be here last. Perhaps he was out doing training. That seemed to be the case. Regardless the one who really needed to be here, was. Jin. He was probably the only one informed of the mission in whole. He felt a little sorry for having Ziro and Ryuu tag along in a mission they knew little about. Especially when they all could have started a war within Konoha, which wouldn't have ended nicely at all, for anyone.

Ziro explained the main points of the mission, which was indeed good enough to confirm everything, however one thing Ziro left out, but didn't know about anyways was the side project of the mission, which was to scare Konoha, but since it failed, because Ziro didn't mention it, he figured it didn't need to be said.

Once that was settled, and Hayasa said his piece, Jin would begin.

"Mizukage-sama, please. I would like another mission. A higher ranking one. Since being here in Mist I have done little, to nothing, but impress those within the area. I have yet to have proven my skill to you or myself. Please, send me on a higher ranking mission." Jin's lust for blood would show here somewhat, but wasn't revealed. He had trained so long and so hard within Konoha and Mist, and thus he felt like his hands hadn't shared enough blood.

[Falorein]

OCC:short again soz and Zieg if you want to say no I dont mind:)


Mizukage-sama, please. I would like another mission. A higher ranking one. Since being here in Mist I have done little, to nothing, but impress those within the area. I have yet to have proven my skill to you or myself. Please, send me on a higher ranking mission."

Hayasa watched Jin say his request with a kind of eagerness,which was bizarre to see from him after all he had seen of jin this did not seem like him.But he still felt some sympathy for jin ,he knew what it felt like to want to prove himself and after all Hayasa was only a genin and still had not done a mission.Hayasa wished he had a chance to prove himself , maybe he might request a mission or something,or maybe to tag along with Jin because he wanted to stop trainingand helpthe village out .

Hayasa waited a brief moment and turned to Jin and said "Hey,Jin maybe I could tag along or something cause I need to learn how to do a mission? I mean if you dont want me to come ...I dont mind I could just wait to next time ".Of course he thought that this might annoy him cause he wanted to do a high mission,and to have genin tag along ,well.....but he was still eager and persistent,and even if he got a no he would understand he was only a genin, he stared at Jin anxiously waiting for a reply.

[keruliion]

Recca quickly moved into the Mizukage's office looking at the Mizu Kage for a moment. "I have to leave the village to center my mind and train myself. Ive been told by some one where to go and my best chance for survival is to learn Muay Thai I shall move as soon as possible and I will return as soon as possible. All I need is your permission"

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Hinagiku sat down and listened to those within her office. Ziro had explained the results of their mission, as he did she couldn't help but smirk. Said smirk soon turned into a slight smile; one of amusment more than anything else. It was caused by the message passed from the Hokage to her. That hello wouldn't have been so 'sincere' had he known just who the Mizukage was but then, her identity in the outside world was covered quite well.

She'd begin to write everything down concerning the mission and now Jin had spoken up regarding a mission. He wanted a challenging mission, the look in his eyes whilst showing bloodlust also reflected his desire for a challenge. It impressed her, subconsciously nodding at the end of his statement. Hayasa who had formally introduced himself as well also wanted a challenging mission.

"If you don't mind...I'd like to send you on two missions. I've been trying to increase our relations with the River Country in order to get more missions from their Daimyo but no luck. Perhaps if you can bring a favourable gift to the president of one of their most thriving cities, that'll look good on Mist. I've only heard the name in passing since it's a rather unusual city; Moyoushi is the name I believe."

Hinagiku reached for some old notes, ones she made when she went on the mission to River prior. They didn't seem to help which caused her to frown but if he really wanted the challenge, she'd begin inscribing the documents.

Name: Quest for River's Hidden City
Rank: C
IIC Length: 1 Day
Difficulty: Moderate
Description: In order to increase favour with the Daimyo of River nation, the Mizukage wishes to offer a gift to one of the nations prominent cities...unfortunately, this city seems to be rather secretive and so it's location isn't known. The candidate for this mission needs to find the city and deliver the gift, which will hopefully increase relations.
Objective: Find Moyoushi City and deliver the Gift
Reward: 1300

Once the documents were finished, she then went onto a different challenge. He did want a challenging mission after all.

"The next mission, the one that will challenge you will require you to travel with a Chuunin, I recommend Ziro accompanying you. There are some enemies of mist from the days of old that still linger. In order for us to rise up again we'll need to take out these security threats."

The name in question wasn't even uttered as the man had indeed commited some evil's.

Name: Shodaime's Missing Shadow
Rank: B
IIC Length: 2 Days
Difficulty: Hard (Death Enabled)
Description: Mitsurugi, a man whom served as ANBU during the times of the first Mizukage. After the first's departure, Mitsurugi betrayed Kirigakure and has been travelling the world. As to what he's researching or his objectives have been unknown but he possesses knowledge of the village that would be dangerous should he leak them.
Objective: Defeat the Rouge Mist Ninja Mitsurugi
Reward: 5000

Once the mission was inscribed it'd be handed to Jin, whomever he chose to bring as a Chuunin member was up to him. It was also up to him if he'd allow Hayasa to join on his mission. Though as for the gift in question...

No sooner did an ANBU emerge from the shadows, holding an scroll though within was Ryo, 150 000 to be precise.

"Good luck."

-150 000 from Village Treasury

Though what should have been silence was no longer silence as her door was opened and a Mist ninja came to her. He explained he needed permission to leave the island, to strengthen his mind and body. She nodded and wrote up permission via a red scroll.

"Keep that with you at all times, especially when you return."

Once she handed him the scroll, he'd be free to leave.
