::雲影 Raikage Tower::

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

[Enter]

The female entered the lobby with an exhausted look at her face. Nobody were able to see it though since she was wearing her ANBU gear. Marii lined up behind the counter while she tried to keep strong.
'I better go to the hospital afterwards' decided the young woman. She stepped forwards when the Chuunins in front of her had handed in their reports.

"I'm here to report in about the disaster in the Academy district. I transported the Academy students with my birds to this tower. My teammate Okuda Nobuyuki should be here soon" informed the Jounin.
Almost on cue, her kage bunshins entered the tower. "We fed the summons" told the one who was in the front.

"You can tell the other ANBU's to interrogate my comrades here. They were at the ground while I focused more on the children" informed the female. She looked at the clerk and waited for a reply.
'I wonder if we get some sort of compensation for this. I know what I'm going to do with the money' told the brunette while her thoughts were on the research facility.

"You've done a great service," the old man would say as he tossed a large bag filled by forty-five thousand ryo, a pay fit for the dangers of the job.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

"You've done a great service" told the male as he gave her a large bag of money. "Thanks" told the female as she picked up the bag. 'Kami, it's so HEAVY!' thought her inner as she struggled to pick up the bag.
"Could you guys come with us please?" told an ANBU agent with a dragon mask. He looked at the five kage bunshins that stood in the front of him.

"We will" replied the clone that stood in the front. "See you guys later...I'm off a the hospital" muttered the young woman. She went out of the hospital with her money bag while her kage bunshins went with the agents.
"You guys should go back to my parent's house. Tell that I'm at the hospital" said the Jounin as she looked at her animals.

Both of them nodded before they went towards her parent's house. 'I'll leave the money in the hospital safe. That should do' decided the brunette as she went towards the hospital.
Her legs were shaking and her body felt quite weak. It was time for a rest.

[Exit Marii and animal companions]

[atrb=width,450px,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][bg=d43e49] By Naota Okuda would enter the tower, is blue Kimono and white Hakama splattered with blood, he’d been told that those who aided in the defense of the village would be paid as if it were a mission as a thanks for all of their hard work. Okuda never was shy about asking for the money he was owed, so he slowly walked up to the mission table and filled out a slip that said he had worked to defend the village. The first of which was forty-five thousand ryo by itself, then he also are added that he helped save an entire restaurant from the enemy forces, roughly twenty people in it, then he put down that he had helped defend and save a the entire ninja academy alongside his team leader Marii. That was roughly…Okuda didn’t even know, he rubbed his chin, trying to think of how many defenseless students there were. After a few moments, he decided that there had to be roughly fifty students in the group. Okuda made sure to put in that he requested payment for helping save seventy people during the madness of the attack, he then handed the slip to the person behind the table and waited for approval.

[Kuro]

"You've served well young one," the words would come from the old man across the desk. He'd pull out a large bag filled up by forty-five thousand ryo. Once the transaction had been completed Okuda's name would be scratched off the list. Despite the war like situations, the economy couldn't crash so it was kept in check.

[奥田 (Okuda)]

[exit with sack o' money]

[Raika Tatsu]

[Enter]

Raika walked into the Raikage Tower once more. He had been told that there was payment for having helped defend the village. Although he hadn't done much, he had killed a couple of grunts and what seemed like a lieutenant, and helped save a nurse, which was very important. Raika felt glad that he was able to directly save at least one life, he had never gotten the chance to really do so. It helped him realize that this life is what he wanted, and the money he was about to receive would go a long way in helping ensure he could continue doing so.

Tatsu walked up to the receptionist, and bowed. "Hello, I was told to come to the Tower to receive some kind of payment for helping defend the village. I'm not sure how much that would be, however." Raika then waited for the receptionist to respond.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background: url(http://i49.tinypic.com/e9c7cw.png); width: 498; height: 559; border: 4px solid black;] One extremely depressed Kunoichi entered the tower once more and made her way up to the desk with so much as a blur. She might have spoken, but she did not know. And if words would have been spoken from her, they would be of a reward for defending the village. And once she had finished saying such things, she would then ask about her Chunin title and if she had pasted or not. Remaining silently for the Ryo she visualized the scene of her friends death over and over again...

[Raikou!]

[Enter]

The ninja known as Raikou somberly entered the Raikage Tower alone. The dark mood of the mission lobby was palpable. Even here blood seemed to be splattered everywhere. As tired Shinobi dripped blood as they came and went. The invasion had not only taken a physical toll on the village but a spiritual one as well. Seeing the moral of everyone so low pained Raikou in his heart.

Even still, it was hard to feel sad for anyone at this point. He was almost too exhausted to even do that. A full days fighting. The likes the village had never seen before. It was surreal.

He walked to the counter dripping some blood of his own from his Anbu armor. His mask was removed showing his weary dark blue eyes.

"I'm here to check in. And check out. The Front Line is secure and there is a clean up crew on it's way."

After receiving his pay the ninja would leave the tower just as quietly as he had come in. His bed was waiting for him. Or so he hoped. Odds were that was destroyed too...

[N A T S U M I]

Paid 45,000 Ryo to Raikou, Sita and Raika Tatsu

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background: url(http://i49.tinypic.com/e9c7cw.png); width: 498; height: 559; border: 4px solid black;] The sigh was loud and heavy. And once she got her pay she simply sniffed with exasperation before leaving the tower. She'll have to come back and find out about Chunnin later on. Life is short and only once in a blue moon can shinobi receive a chance for Chidori. Exit//

[Raika Tatsu]

Raika would grab the bag of money, surprised by how much there was. He bowed his head and then walked out of the Tower. He needed to start getting ready for further missions after all.

[Exit]

[Raikou!]

Raikou grabbed his pay and made his way out of the Tower. It had been a long day. Sleep was dearly needed.

[Exit]

[A 5 A M 1 -- N4GA]

..Enter..

Was this going to be such a difficult task? Tending to customers while they ate inside a café? Surely it would not be that hard a task, right? Asami walked gracefully into the tower, sporting a pale pink and purple yukata and wooden geta. The soft padding sound the geta made against the floor would remain unnoticed due to the fact that the Raikage's Tower was one of the most busiest buildings within Kumogakure.

Obito had insisted that she begin her life as a Shinobi by participating in numerous missions to gain profit as well as experience in working for clients willing to call for the assistance of the village Ninja. As abhorrent as she felt about entering a place of authority, Asami wanted to get in and out of there as quickly as possible. However, somehow she knew that that was not going to be the case as the place was swarming with Shinobi and citizens alike. Weaving around many bodes, Asami made her way toward the stairs before taking her time to head to the correct floor with her request.

Inside the mission room, no-one appeared to be in the room aside from the assistant who appeared to have seen better days. But what did Obito state that she get? Asami hurried over toward the mission slips and began rifling through the D ranked slips in search for the one her father had insisted she take. Cosplay Café? Was this the right one? Asami scanned the slip carefully, searching for any kind of indication and had found it within the second sentence. “Ah.” She murmured before approaching the desk and placing the slip upon it's surface.

“My father insisted that I do this one, so..” Asami trailed off, straightening her posture as she awaited for a response. Was this particular assistant going to give her this opportunity biased off what her father had said? What if she declines her request and sends Asami home empty handed and with an excuse such as “she wouldn't let me..”, just how would Obito react to hearing that?

[Kuro]

The old man behind the counter would glance over the mission information and quickly pull out a large stamp. Slamming it down upon the slip he'd give a senile grin towards the young beauty. "I might have to take a coffee break soon! Good luck on your mission now," he'd say as he pulled back the stamp leaving the large green block print 'Approved'.

[A 5 A M 1 -- N4GA]

It didn't take long for the assistant, an elderly man, to stamp the mission slip. His senile grin sent shivers down Asami's spine as she attempted a smile. As witty as this man was, he gave her the creeps. “Thanks.” Was all Asami could say before picking up the slip and retreating from the tower as quickly as she could.

..Exit..

[A 5 A M 1 -- N4GA]

..Enter..

The next day, Asami found herself entering the Raikage Tower again, moving swiftly through the crowed of people this time wearing a dark blue and white yukata. Her geta created small tapping sounds as she took the elevator rather than the stairs. Once it dinged, thus arriving at the first floor, Asami headed into the mission and request room wielding the mission slip for working at the Café yesterday. But rather than approaching the assistant directly, Asami approached the mission slips again and began rifling through them.

This time, Asami turned up to the tower with her 50 lb Draw Composite Bow and small Hip Quiver filled with one hundred and fifty arrows strapped to her back. Despite she didn't know any techniques dealing with marksman, she thought that it was time to get used to carrying her weapons along, even when they weren't necessary. But with a mission in mind, it seemed a good idea to wield the bow and arrows to ensure that should anyone see her, they might think twice before breaking the law.

Seeing the slip that she had been thinking about, Asami plucked it out of it's slot and then moved over toward the desk. “Here is the completed mission I did yesterday. Sorry I wasn't able to drop it off on the same day, working in a café really wore me out!” She said, straightening her posture as the Café slip was placed upon the desk. Once the reward was handed over, Asami would place the second slip upon the desk wearing a wordless smile.

[Raikou!]

“Here is the completed mission I did yesterday. Sorry I wasn't able to drop it off on the same day, working in a café really wore me out!”

A young women with large round glasses smiled back brightly.

"Oh it's no problem! We heard you were a hit! The Cafe owner asked us to thank you for all your help. His customers really liked you!"

The young secretary passed over her 1,562 Ryo reward. She then took the mission slip and stared at it for a moment.

"Oh dear. Please be careful on your patrol. The village hasn't been very safe lately."

She then noticed the big bow on the young ninja's back and all the arrows she carried.

"Ah but I see you are well armed. Well best of luck then!"

[Ryo Added, Mission Approved.]

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

[Enter]

A small 'ding' was heard when the female entered the Raikage tower with her animal companions. Her family was mostly working on paperwork, reconstructing the village, helping those who were injured or recovering from injuries. Marii was one of the few who had been asked out to help out with the village strategies.
"I'm here to speak with the Raikage. Here's my appointment slip" informed the young woman after she had approached the counter.

She was dressed in the light green kimono jacket with a cobalt blue obi she got as a Chuunin. Her headband was tied onto the obi while her legs were in black trousers. Both of her thin hands had bandages wrapped around them.
The Sannin had brought her weapon pouch with her plus a small black handbag with various items. She had managed to cook up a plan of some sort for the Raikage, but would it be good enough?

[Raikou!]

Just as Marii would hand the secretary her appointment slip, a female Owl Anbu with long purple hair would walk to her side.

"Excuse me Captain, please follow me."

She would lead Marii up a long staircase that led directly to the third floor. They would come out to a long hallway with many doors on each side of the hallway. Finally at the end were two double doors that led to Raikou's makeshift war room.

It was a large storage room converted into head quarters that buzzed with activity. Their were Anbu from every division pouring over papers and using computers that looked like they were just hooked up not moments ago. In the center was a large round wooden table with six Anbu captains standing around with Raikou at the head furthest from the entrance. He wore the same black long sleeve shirt and black slacks that he wore at the funeral the previous day. It was obvious he had no slept.

"Ah the legendary Sannin Kazeraikou, and coincidentally our Owl Captian. Please join us Marii, our strategy meeting has just begun."

With Marii there the war council was now complete. Raikou spent most of his ninja career as an Anbu Op so it was only natural for him to utilize that which he felt most comfortable with. He choose not to use any of Kuro's facilities nor wear any of the honorific Raikage garb. It was simply too soon after Kurogane's death to do so. Instead it would use what he had and what he knew best to begin to formulate this war. This was only the beginning of a long and trans-formative process.

"The floor is open to suggests on how to proceed with the Gale Empire. After I hear any and all idea I'll present my own. Please allow me this courtesy"

[Quick short post have to run. Though I'm super excited for this thanks Marii!]
