The village of Stone [O]

His words appeared truthful, or he was above Aero's pay grade. Either way, it was surprising to the monk to see Aneko's trust so easily swayed into the Father's corner. Though Aero was a bit more stubborn on the situation. The boy could leave the guilt on his soul, should they be tricked by this man, a man whom hadn't even given his own name. Aneko wanted to know Aero's opinion on the matter, yet the monk was trying to mull over what to say.

"Name and rank,"

He'd speak, his face was focused upon the father, the large blue eyes now exposed to the world. A deep breath filled the lungs of the young monk as his eyes took in the sight that his mind couldn't gather. This father spoke as if worried, yet his expression wasn't selling it. Aero needed to know whom he was up against, the rank and possible consequences for stepping on the toes of a superior. Even if it meant be stripped of his title, the monk would gladly protect the children, though he knew that it wouldn't be that bad in the end. Should the male go along with Aero and Ane's question, the monk would deliver one more, hopefully sealing the deal that was forming right before the group.

"If you mean them no harm,
why are you armed to the teeth?"

These words were filled with curiosity, he only hoped the man would see the light at the end of the tunnel. That and he could only hope Ane wouldn't regret decisions made prior to the outcome.

"They're names are Kyo and Shyro." He answered the first question. But Aero's question came as well, one that caused him to look toward the monk in the process. "I am Jiro Kanabi, Chuunin of Iwagakure."[/color] He answered, now turning back to Aneko.

"I would never kill my children. Harm them? Maybe, but that's only as small punishment. Never to a point where they would need any kind of medical attention. Simple things such as a spanking or forcing them to their room if need be."[/color] He answered her second question, turning to Aero once more. "And lastly, I had just returned from a mission. If you feel the need to question me, here."[/color] He said, handing over the mission slip that detailed what he had been doing.

"I returned home from the mission to see that they had broken one of my prized swords. It's how they received the cuts on their arms. I yelled that I was going to kill them out of rage for them doing something like that, but I would never do such a thing."[/color] As Aero looked over the mission slip, he would see that it was to gather protection for the Iwagakure villagers. The five that he had with him now were able to offer that protection.

Suddenly, I appeared next to Aero and Aneko. "You both have done well to obtain information. Jiro... Your children are hiding over there. Kyo and Shyro, you can come out now. You know what you did is wrong, even more so to lie about it to these two."[/color] I said, looking over to where the two walked out. The Chuunin bowed in respect, taking his mission slip back as well as his children. The other five remained, knowing they were to report to me.

"As for you two... Take this mission slip to the tower to receive payment. I was testing your abilities to gain information. Had you jumped to conclusions and killed him, it would have been a mission failure, and likely a penalty against you. But you two succeeded, and thus may add this to your record."[/color] I added on, waiting to see if they had any questions. I had to return to the tower. Word that Draven had returned came to me, and I wanted to see what he had found at the temples.

Ane nodded the questions were answered, she was more trusting of people then she let on really. She nodded as he told them his name, Jiro Kanabi, and then listened as he replied to her words it was pertty believable really. She was suddenly aware of an other person once Jiro had finished explaining his side of the story. Her eyes turned and viewed the Kage of Stone, who was now speaking.

Interesting, to have gotten the information meant something

she supposed thoughtfully, before she zoned back down at the two kids came out of their hiding spot. She didn’t hate them for running, nor did she blame them, but she was sure the father would take care of them. She half watched as the two kids walked away with their dad, fairly meekly. The Kage spoke again, this time speaking of this as it was a test. She nodded following the person's words. Her hand reached out and took the mission slip and she half bowed, before she spoke softly,

"Yes Sir. Aero, are you coming with me to the tower?"

She felt that she would ask names and such later, tower paperwork came first. Her trusting spirit would the death of her though at some point. But maybe the world needed more like her then not. She would be off to the tower with or without Aero once he answered her.

This all seemed surreal to the monk as the man would answer his questions, almost as if he'd grown annoyed at the surveillence that Aero had laid out. It was just then that the chakra signal moved, quickly as it appeared right next to them. The male he'd seen before was none other than the Tsuchikage himself. Aero didn't speak and only listened as the rest played itself out. Finally Ane would look towards him and ask if he was coming.

"Sure,
so long as
we're good to go,"

Sure enough they were, so with his newly acquired slip the blue eyed monk would follow the girl towards the Tsuchikage's tower to earn his pay and mission credit on file. This should have made him available to go to the Chuunin Exams, though the monk didn't know this Village as well as he used to, he'd rather have a team to help than to run it solo.

Exit with Ane
