✰ Miko found a bench to sit on and rather than just sitting on it alone she'd stretch her body across it. Laying down looking up at the sky Miko would look at the gray mixture of clouds wondering bout how much deeper she could make her chakra pools. there was at some point a physical limit to it, but there was a question of if she'd be able to compensate with practical material means. It would probably take tons of study and time, but that was one thing Miko seemed to have a good bit of...well maybe not as much as she used to believe she did. time was always ticking away and life stood still for no one so strength, skills, materials, and knowledge weren't ever available in time enough to do anything significant to aid her village when she needed them the most. Miko holding her hands to the sky would begin to form hand signs and close her eyes focusing on her breathing and the feeling of chakra rounding her stomachs center. [1/5]

Remember the focal points of your chakra's movement, the my stomach, my heart, between my eyes and behind each eye, etc. Focus on slowing and speeding up that flow of energy an the mixture that comes from the pit in your stomach. Miko would have her thoughts focused on controlling her chakra center to a more refined level in such intensity that those who might of bee paying attention to her might notice her chakra materializing around her in faint wisps of whipping winds as a light storm seemed to loom overhead in the gray clouds. Breathing through her mouth now as if she were laboring with a heavy object while working on steep mountain Mikos focus and sense of her chakra's movement would only seem to deepen.
Flow, form, and nature are produced through your own affinity and effort. Chakra form and nature can be aided by hand signs that inscribe an action and mass to the energy you draw. [2/5]

Breathing in steady through her mouth and exhaling through the nose Miko would try and feel the her chakra more intimately than normal. Chakra flow was something she knew was always circulating through her body and mirrored almost identically he circulatory system. Though she didn't know much about her circulatory system if she was honest she knew what it felt like when she focused chakra to certain parts of her body. Like warm lines of energy pulsed and tingled her skin and was brought to a pin point where she could spread it's surface area or sharpen it. The tingle in the fingers, goosebumps on your skin these little thing seemed to be a sign of chakra flow sometimes. Miko didn't know the best way to describe it but she knew that she was becoming all the more proficient in feeling the chakra as it went through her body the more she practiced and developed her jutsu and techniques. [3/5]

Opening her eyes Miko would look at her hands as she'd run through the hand signs, Bird, Boar, Dog, Dragon, Hare, Horse, Monkey, Ox, Ram, Rat, Serpent, Tiger. The symbol all ran parallel to the zodiac beast and in essence correlated in some parts to the representative elements linked to each symbol. Miko would make the hand signs as fast as she could messing up a little here and there and growing a little frustrated with the repetition, but it was one of her flaws that she didn't do well when it came to discipline. Even discipline imparted on her own behalf from herself. Still Miko would repeat the sequence and try to keep her thought aloft with trying to remember as many little bits of information she knew about each sign and the zodiac animal they correlated to. Which ones she liked the most or felt the closest to, which was the Horse. Thinking about horses and the state of wild ones seemed to relax Miko further and her sense of self deepened and the sounds around her seemed to cut out to a muffle and then silence. [4/5]

Eyes still open and looking on at the sky while going through each hand sign at a steadily increasing speed on each pass Miko would seem t shift in reality. Or maybe it was better to describe it as a shift inwards. this seemed as a real as what she was looking at before but here there was a glow coming from a pool of water that she was laying in with her hand still aimed before her face at what she assumed was the sky of this place. Turning her head to the side and taking in some of the pools "water" into her face she'd notice the blue color and the edge of this pool.Thinking back on her schooling Miko came to a vague sense rather than any reasonable deduction that this might just be a mental manifestation of her chakra pool. It was kind of hard to get a sense for just how deep or wide the pool was as she'd floated on top of it's surface, but she wade through the water upright to see better noticing walls seemed to expand as she'd swim to the edges and focused on running her hands along the edges. But the weight was heavy and it wasn't something so easy also the room in which this pool was inside didn't seem infinitely big as one might assume of an imagined space. The pool widened and Miko could feel with in her inner self that something had changed and in that instance she'd gasp for air as she'd awaken from what seemed like a day dream with her eyes open.

Matching the color of her signature red shawl/scarf she still wears like a hood over her head and hat.

Resolution: The user is more determined to get fine details from his sensory techniques, but in order to get this type of clarity the user's range of the technique is reduced by half. The user is able to discover type of technique that is about to be active (fuuin, genjutsu, ninjutsu, custom jutsu, complex tai and buki), even specifics such as Bloodline type and rank. Additionally, the user can gain similar information about any chakra source in their sensory technique's range, including what bloodline the person possesses, and how large their chakra pool is.

Technique Name: Buraindotacchi: Douteki Giketsu [Blind Touch: Kinetic Resolution]
Rank: X-Rank (E-S) [Only E-rank right now]
Type: Taijutsu_Training
Element: Taijutsu
Description: A trained physical sensory ability that is an extended and refined blend between ones muscle memory and a heightened sense of touch. Trough training one can “read” and remember kinetic motion of physical objects around themselves as long as some form of motion (vibration) is happening around them, and there after differentiates them specifically committing the sensation to memory. (New sensations are responded to vaguely if not committed to memory/identified already.)
This ability has only a 6-yards [3-yards] cubic range, and works better on the ground/in water. Where vibrations are involved mid-air sensing isn’t exact. The practitioner retains a slight increase in reflexes over their current Rank standard from this ability, and when retrained this boost also increase from slightly, to mildly, to moderately and etc. Though passive this ability drains stamina when used to dodge equal to the rank of the technique being avoided with in the trained limit!

✰ Miko having completed her break and whatever bit or training she could fit into it would return to her position at the front counter of the blue dragon watching over the store while the more masterful craftsmen and smiths worked on the orders made earlier on in the day. Miko had already gotten through with the sweeping and dusting of most of the wares, but with this kind of job it was always good to stay on top of the menial labor that needed to be done. Generally just wiping down thing Miko would continue to carry out her work as she'd begin to wonder if Soraru or even Hono remembered their meeting at the blue dragon. though the two probably would be surprised to see her working at the counter. [1/2]

Then just as suddenly as the thought entered her mind about her team Miko would see an Anbu appear to her side. Not exactly saying much other than directly walking over and handing her a envelope she could only assumed had the missive for he mission her and her tam were on stand by for. Che, these guys really have horrible timing, miko would think as she'd bee on her knee working through a lower shelf or wears behind the counter Coming to stand with a kunai in hand and the dusting cloth in the other miko would place the weapon down before grabbing the envelope and reading it.

Mission:

Title: Scouting the Strangling Cloud Forest
Rank: C
Solo or Squad: Squad
Minimum Posts: 5 each
Your objective is to scout the forest for the rumored invaders--I'm sure all of you have met Wanryoku by this point, and it is a group of people like him that you are looking for. Smoke from fire was reported near the eastern shore, a mile or two within the forest. It could just be campers, but they have been there several days.

As a warning: you are not to engage. Engaging the enemy will result in an instant failure of the mission, assuming you make it back alive.

The squad leader, Miko, should have received 2000 ryo to spend on supplies you may need, camping gear, weapons, etc. Any extra will have to come from your own pockets. You are to meet at the gates and head out as soon as you are prepared.

Sighing to herself Miko would look out from the entrance of the shop and would wait at the door way with the missive in looking for any sign is the pair she needed to lead would make their way here in time for the team to properly get geared up.

Walking down the bridge which led to the shopping district, Soraru had his weapon drawn in his right hand, holding it up at a somewhat horizontal angle for him to examine it. The dark bit that covered the rip to near the middle of the blade caught his attention first, the dark steel being the result of a weapon broken over and over, the veins of koton running down to the base a solution to the wear and tear that would develop through any normal blade. Reito Kumo though, would never be brittle, and as long as Soraru kept it to himself, it would never be blunt or dirty. He spent a long time with the weapon, it being the only audience he ever needed, the only stuffed animal or nightlight he needed as a child, the motivation when he hit a wall. A need to be worthy enough to call the blade his own, to do it justice after being in the hands of so many noteworthy people. It was actually the main reason he decided to become a Shinobi after running from home, rather than taking on a safer profession. Well that and because he needed to be able to defend himself, should he ever be found by those who sought him out. Even then, that was if his father didn't know already. According to the letter he received, the man refused his wife's proposal to have another son for the heir, and had been quiet during many meetings. Withdrawn. Soraru could picture clearly in his head that his father was thinking on something big. Either that or his pride wouldn't allow him to give him, and the decision of letting his only son go was eating him up.

No matter the situation, Sora needed to keep himself away from the affairs of the Iron Country as much as he could. .

Finishing his crossing of the bridge, he was met with a single person at the other side, and he guessed the person to be a male from the body type and height, not to mention the lack of curvature. Hooded in a dark cloak, with the white of the Kumogakure flak jacket just barely poking through at some points. The beaked mask made it obvious that the person was an ANBU. "Genin Hiraite. Orders from the Kage. Good luck." The voice confirmed his suspicions of a male beneath the mask, airy and low, like he was breathing the words out. His tone felt like smoke. Soraru felt his heart beat a little faster in anticipation, his hand reaching out to take the note being held out to him. Opening it up, he read the contents, eyes scanning the parchment. A squad mission in the Strangling Cloud Forest, a scouting one. Engagement wasn't allowed, something he didn't really have qualms with. It did make him want to train up in one of the Hakemoto states though, the one of Ceasefire, in case someone slipped up and his team was spotted. That, coupled with some careful genjutsu, could lead to him talking his way out with ease. Folding the paper to close it and putting it away in the pocket of his harem pants, he nodded to the ANBU.

"We'll be on it tomorrow, consider it done." Soraru was a little happy that he wasn't placed on a serious restriction after his first time leaving the village, since that would've been a huge setback to his growth as a Shinobi. Perhaps he just rubbed the ANBU captain and Raikage the right way, and they let him off the hook. Without another words, the ANBU made his way past him and across the bridge, leaving Sora with a clear path to the Blue Dragon. When he actually made it to said establishment, he sheathed his weapon and walked through the front entrance, not really taking time to admire the architecture, given he had nothing to compare it to. He spent next to no time near a forge back when he was home, since it was at the base of a smaller, different temple. The face that Kumogakure didn't have temples everywhere and an entire mountain face covered in living areas ranging from apartments to shrines was enough to know that the place was different.

The Iron Country also didn't have a Miko Tengoku in any doorways, someone he had to look back at to notice that he passed her. She looked very different, her appearance going from what he'd consider to be "cunning" to "soft" or "cute", the baggy clothing and color pallet doing plenty to attract attention. It seemed all three of the team decided on outfits that betrayed first impressions. Hokori with his fleece jacket, himself with the ceremonial appeal, and Miko with a casual outfit that blended well with her. "You look nice this evening, Tengoku-san." He said, a life of adhering to manners making him forget to call her MOB, since that was a name she preferred, but it seemed strange to call her that in the midst of giving her a compliment anyways. "I'm pretty sure that since you're the squad leader, you already got the message about the mission. Not sure if Hokori-san got it too, since he fell behind in our walk, and I was trying to get here before the smith goes to sleep or stops working for the day. Anyways, I've gotta get on that." He said, talking to her while backpedaling into the establishment and towards the front desk of the Blue Dragon. With a whistle, he caught the attention of a young girl bustling about with inventory, taking note that the main owner of the half of the shop he was at seemed to be busy elsewhere. "Anything I can do for you, sir?" Were her simple words, likely spoken a ton of times throughout a single day. Yet the girl still retained a sort of anxious, energetic feel. It was likely her mother who handled the day to day handling of customers, and her own opportunities to talk to them were few and far in between.

"Yup. Do you think you can get these items ready for me while I visit the Steel Thread?" He asked politely, with a kind smile on his lips to the young girl. His hand reached into his pocket so he could pull out a small piece of paper with the required order. Twelve explosive notes for 300 ryo, along with three highly explosive ones for another 300. Twenty mouth embers for 200. A pack of kunai for another three hundred, however he spent the extra hundred ryo for some custom work. For the explosive tags to be cut up into tiny flower shapes and put into a little pouch that would be tied to the hilt of the kunai. Well, that and the extra hundred on top to let the weapons be infused with his fuuton chakra.

1300 - 10% = 1170

The girl blinked at the paper and read it over, before placing it on the counter and smiling back at him. The kind of beaming grin that only the innocent, peaceful youth could manage. Being sure that said smile was a confirmation, he nodded and moved to the side, making his way to the door that separated the armory from the tailor. Once he walked in, he was assaulted by the scent of cinnamon, spice, and...hazelnut? It was a scent he was immediately drawn to, and noticed that it permeated the entire room. Likely to mask the scent of adhesives and paint one could expect from a place that made anything from knit caps to suits of armor. "Nice scent, yes? I can tell, boy." Came a feminine voice, laced with a thick accent from an origin he couldn't place. He'd traveled from the Iron Country, to the land of fire, then the land of Lightning and hadn't met anyone with that kind of voice. When he turned to see her, he found himself meeting someone quite pretty, Very light blonde hair that neared white, the tresses long and curled at the ends. Fair skin, green eyes, retaining their shine well into what he assumed to be her thirties. "Soraru? Ahh, I didn't expect you to show up here. I'm a fan, from the Mountain Clover. Your voice and performances are lovely. You haven't shown up lately, the owner has been a little worried about you, a friend in him, you have made." A dusty rose color made itself known on his cheeks, bringing a sly smile to the lips of the woman. "Thank you, miss. Compliments are always appreciated. As for the Mountain Clover, I was busy on a mission following the attack on the village. Spanned a week. Unfortunately the life of a Shinobi pays more than that of a freelance musician." He said playfully a smile on his lips. The mission he claimed to be on was a lie, but he figured telling business owners about an attack from Konoha wasn't the best idea. When he took out his next slip and handed it to the woman, it was notably much longer, with more information on it.

First up was the obvious choice for Soraru, a tosei-gusoko, although not the complete set. The primary torso piece was left out, along with a few others, put into a storage for him to select later if he ever wished to. That made him spend a whopping 1500 ryo. Along with that was an order for a Kumogakure flak jacket, and a custom-made thick black shirt, with a few extras. Both added to make 500 ryo. A piece of the custom garment was going to charge him another 800. Then came the horde of smaller needs. Taser Knuckle, 700. Snap Lighter, 400...he wanted a sleeve knife, but it was a bit much at the moment. Since his next mission was a scouting one without permission to engage, stealth was an asset, so he made sure to pay for some silent soles for his footwear, costing him another 500.

Final cost: 5580. Unfortunately over his total cost, but he figured that he could get two hundred ryo out of Miko, given that she was meant to have two thousand ryo saved for squad purposes. As he reached into his pouch for Svetlana's portion of the gold, he could pretty much feel her smirking, raising blue eyes to see if there was a problem. "An Iron Country boy, huh? I guess you don't find eyes that blue in these lands after all. The samurai armor gave you away. Also explains your current outfit." Ah, she was pretty observant, wasn't she? He imagined one could question her intelligence with her accent and occasionally broken language, but they'd be wrong in assuming anything. He drew her portion of the ryo, along with a fairly large marble gem. aiming to sell it for two thousand, a common trade when it came to that sort of gem. Placing them on the counter, he nodded his head. "Yup. Tsukihara Hana born. Was meant to be raised as a samurai, but they noticed my potential in Chakra and had me sent to the Shinobi lands to perfect my skills in that field. May take a good couple years, so you can expect to see me at the tea shop for awhile yet. I'll see you later, miss." He said, listening to her mention to call her by her name, Svetlana, from then on out, making him nod once more as he left. Walking back to the armory and front stand, he was happy to see that his equipment was waiting for him. Ten kunai completed with his custom order, along with two extra normal explosive tags, and two highly explosive ones.

"Looks like you did a good job. Mind doing me one more favor? I need you to take this to one of the smiths here, along with this paper." With that, he removed the scabbard of Reito Kumo from his obi with the blade still inside, handing it to the girl over the counter. Luckily, it seemed it was far from her first time carrying or caring for a weapon, and she walked right off behind the curtains to the forge. With her out there, he turned to look towards Miko, calling for her. "Hey MOB, I need you to spot me a hundred eighty ryo for this. You can keep the rest of the two thousand for you and Hokori-san."

✰ Miko would look on as she'd see first Soraru make his way towards the shop from a distance and right behind him like a shadow that even Soraru didn't seem to fully focus on was the light frame of Hono Hokori. Soraru made it into and through the entrance before noticing Miko had been standing at the entrance the entire time. Her change of dress and additions to her appearance might of had something to do with that, but in essence Miko felt she'd looked pretty much the same as ever, but some part of her appreciated the off handed praise his comment carried.
"Thought ya might of lost that keen insight ya seemed to have earlier in the day. che, as for Hono you should never lose sight of'em he's got a real talent for falling into the background. He'd been shadowing you the entire time, but whatever gets to shopin and me's and Hono here will have a bit of a chat. "

Miko's attitude was basically focused more on Hono in terms of equipment since his main asset was his ability to extensively equip more things on himself than either her or blue eyes. The depth of raining to use all of the things he carried as a bit in question but Miko felt he would sort himself out with time, but given the mission details Miko had already come up with a formation set for quick retreat and layer observation of the subject. The details of this plan would be explained to her teammates on the way, but sorting out the much more green Hono seemed like a good use of her time in preparation since all of her equipment had already been readied and organized onto her person. Patting him on the shoulder and drawing Hono to the side as Soraru was in the back talking to her bosses, Miko showed Hono the wares. Various weapons, scroll & parchments, as well as garments and raw materials to be used or worked into his equipment for him.

"I'm trying to get a bit of training in my own technical skills here..." Miko would lead into her topic a bit off of any reasonable cue to start the conversation.
"I've plans for this mission, as I've always had, but we need you and blue eyes to be equipped properly. If you've been doin what's I's been tellin ya you've stocked up on cash to spend. Crafting might be your skill set but it takes time to produce a full armory like this stores lot, but...give it time. We're still equal partners in business Hono, or that's what I'll always consider you in my thoughts past any student teacher role or however chummy we might be. I've been thinking that this village is missing something of a industrial spirit, something like that I think might galvanize the disjointed aspirations of our people. Like always to get started we need status and to gain status we need to be successful in missions and to succeed we need the right tools and tools cost money. It always boils back down to the ryo and I want you to remember that goin forward Hono. Caring isn't enough, and neither is just effort or wits, but the ability to adapt as ell as pay the costs it takes to support those you've placed your heart into. "

Miko would stop strolling around the store stopping in front of a case showing a set of mechanical goggles. she'd shown him a slew of equipment, (all the ones mentioned in skype chat), but her final subject item were the goggles. Folding her arms over her chest and brushing her dyed hair from her eyes Miko would look to Hono from the corner of her eye looking for his expression before continuing to explain why'd she'd stopped on this particular item.

"I'm getting you some good goggles for working, you and Soraru. Something that's good for the eyes. I feel like our little teams best at observation and this being out first mission as a squad seems like a good idea. It's on me so don't worry about paying for that, and out of the collection here just pick out what you want and I'll back your purchase for whatever ya can't afford with the mission funds. Anything ova you'll owe in interest. But the goggles...they're a gift. Also you might wanna get some gloves for those hands, keep'em safe since they're your main tools. "

When Soraru retuned and asked Miko to front him the cash from the funds provided by the village she'd respond.
"Yeah, yeah! I's gots your money here. Hono's got his bit of business to decide and then we should get moving along the way we should get a bit or rest and square away the plan for the mission I've already got idea's but your in put and some background on what you guys can do now would be helpful, but a quick pass through the libraries int he academy to stock up on some notes for jutsu to train might be my last stop before meeting you guys again so if I'm not heading to the village gates with ya once we finish up here just wait for me there and I'll be there shortly. "

[maruton not included]

Resolution: The user is more determined to get fine details from his sensory techniques, but in order to get this type of clarity the user's range of the technique is reduced by half. The user is able to discover type of technique that is about to be active (fuuin, genjutsu, ninjutsu, custom jutsu, complex tai and buki), even specifics such as Bloodline type and rank. Additionally, the user can gain similar information about any chakra source in their sensory technique's range, including what bloodline the person possesses, and how large their chakra pool is.

Technique Name: Buraindotacchi: Douteki Giketsu [Blind Touch: Kinetic Resolution]
Rank: X-Rank (E-S) [Only E-rank right now]
Type: Taijutsu_Training
Element: Taijutsu
Description: A trained physical sensory ability that is an extended and refined blend between ones muscle memory and a heightened sense of touch. Trough training one can “read” and remember kinetic motion of physical objects around themselves as long as some form of motion (vibration) is happening around them, and there after differentiates them specifically committing the sensation to memory. (New sensations are responded to vaguely if not committed to memory/identified already.)
This ability has only a 6-yards [3-yards] cubic range, and works better on the ground/in water. Where vibrations are involved mid-air sensing isn’t exact. The practitioner retains a slight increase in reflexes over their current Rank standard from this ability, and when retrained this boost also increase from slightly, to mildly, to moderately and etc. Though passive this ability drains stamina when used to dodge equal to the rank of the technique being avoided with in the trained limit!

✰ Clasping her hands in front of her face and a sheepish grin came over her face Miko would watch as Hono took to figuring out things through his own determination of what he'd need from her suggestions. She'd felt some odd sense of ride seeing the timid deer that was Hono seemingly taking his first steps to sorting himself out. Though totally blind to any involvement from Wanryoku as a teacher and mentor to the slightly older but green shinobi. Yet she liked this sense that there was a slight sense that he was making progress forward towards bettering himself even in his own eyes.
Waving goodbye to Hono as he'd make his exit Miko would over her shoulder to Soraru still smiling.

"Well he's in good spirit. Should be a good omen for our excursion. I'll let you guys in on my plans for ingress on this mission but until then I'll meet you at the Gates of the village."

Taking off the apron for work Miko went back to talk to the craftsmen and settled up her days wages with her bosses before she'd leave. Quietly walking out with out saying another word to Soraru Miko would find her self almost to the residential district when she found herself face to face with an Anbu once more who seemed to be curiously scratching the back of their head as if nervous or fumbling with a thought. Miko simly tilted her head at the curious sight and let the Anbu give her the generous news that they were going to have a fourth to their little team.
"Che, you guys know you're getting really sloppy with your information work. Alright I'll adjust for the new entry; Who is it?"

"Hakanai Yuki."

A flash went off in her head as she'd remember the vision of hakanai in the hospital fumbling about herself as she'd tried to ask Wan for forgiveness for her actions, and even further back Miko remembered those actions. Hakanai in a rage had broken down and attacked Hatsu. Gripping her her hand into a tight fist and letting out a sigh as she'd remember her choice to let things settle between her emotions about that and Hakanai's actions given that it was more something Hatsu was more inclined to handle for herself. Yet Miko would be wary of Hakanai and her possible impulsive nature. The Anbu was gone as quickly as they'd shown their selves and Miko would continue her journey home to her apartment.

Soraru rapped his fingers against the countertop in front of him once the other members of his team went off on their merry way, likely to get some sleep in for themselves. "Getting pretty late, isn't it?" A voice from an apparent mind reader came over, low and gruff, tempered with age.Turning his eyes, he looked over to see the man he assumed was the smith, the appearance of the man confirming his suspicions of his occupation. A short sleeved overshirt, parted down the middle with not much but bandages wrapping up the mans body beneath it, exposing a large portion of his skin. It revealed several scars from both burns and cuts but mostly the former, along with a strong musculature that came from hours slaving at a forge. But the life in steely grey eyes told the story that the man didn't work on weapons because he was forced to, or because it was his best choice of income, but because he loved his craft. He was lined with a sheen of sweat, however didn't smell anything but pleasant, leading Soraru to believe that Svetlana gave the mans forge a once over with her incenses and perfumes as well. Such a thought brought the ghost of a smirk to his lips, trying to retain politeness despite the building urge to let out at least a little laugh.

"Yeah, but I just can't really bring myself to leave without my blade. Would it be any trouble to you if I just sleep in one of the seats or so?" He asked, curiosity and sincerity in his eyes, the tone he spoke in as well. Due to his clothing and lack of much weaponry save for a wakizashi, it was pretty obvious that he wasn't going to rob the place overnight or make any other rash choices. "Actually came over to tell ya. Svetlana yacked on about how far your usual resting hole is, she talked my ear off until I said yes to her wanting to let you sleep in her side of the building tonight. You're not like usual young ilk either, so I would've said yes either way after meeting ya." He said, lifting a heavy hand and patting the boy on the shoulder. "As for that blade of yours, it's good craft. Really good craft. I guess your outfit, dedication to stay near your partner, and the craftmanship all spells out "Iron country." Always wanted to visit there, but you'll find that I smith with the best of 'em, legendary forges be damned." He continued on, making the young samurai raise a brow. In the Iron Country, it was true that the smithing was something of legends. Some forges were actually completely natural, using the natural environment of the harsh land to temper, cool, heat, or anything else really. So the guy saying that he could smith as good as someone from that place was something to be a little skeptical about, but Soraru couldn't help but put some trust in the man anyways. Something about him, maybe? Or perhaps he just put together that Kumogakure had a history of employing Bukijutsu oriented Shinobi, and a smith that far surpassed average was required.

"Thank you. I'll be around to pick up my equipment in the morning, really looking forward to your work. As for my blade...I call her Reito Kumo. I'm not sure how much that means to you, but I know that all the little details matter when working on a project." Those were the last words they exchanged, before the older man went off to finish his work, and Soraru went to spend his night at the armory/tailoring half of the building. Svetlana set up a comfy sleeping spot for him, and the moment he rested his head, the exhaustion that was just barely sustainable by an already depleting Eisejutsu took its tremendous toll. A dream of a seemingly endless snowy mountain path, with trees on both sides, littering the white ground with pink...it consumed his mind, along with images of clear blue eyes and white hair. An irritably forgiving smile. Multiple kanji flashed across his view. "Hate me." "Why." "Idiot." "Annoyance." "Liar."

"No. It's okay."

The dreamscape before him seemed to crumble in on itself with that simple reply. The mountain started to fall apart, splitting and flying into the sky, where the world reflected in on itself in the sky. He was surrounded in petals that he once thought beautiful, but then only found discomfort and anxiety in.

"Wake up!"

Who? Oh. Dreaming. Of course I was dreaming.

A blurry world encompassed his world once blue eyes revealed themselves, taking in the sight of the girl he first met when entering the Blue Dragon. She was upside down, which meant she must've been leaning right over him. A bit intrusive, but it was pretty hard to get embarrassed by a girl fairly younger than him. Perhaps twelve? Either way, he blinked at her a few times before she got the message that he couldn't get up without headbutting her or bending into an awkward angle, and she backed up for him. A yawn, with a rather long stretch followed, and he managed to get up out of his resting spot without any real hassle. When he turned his eyes towards the girl who woke him up, he saw that his ordered clothes and equipment was at the end of his "bed", and that she was holding a steel scabbard, the decorations on it spelling out a single name in his mind. Reito Kumo. "Everyone is out gathering supplies right now, but the look on your face says that I should tell them "thank you" for you when they get back. Everything's been paid and accounted for, Soraru-kun. You can get dressed in here then be on your way out, have a nice day!" She said, quite pleased with herself, before bolting out the room while shutting the door behind her. Was probably a busy girl. Turned out that she left his blade by the door in her blitz as well.

When he walked out, it was in his different gear. A thick black shirt, long in both the sleeves and its vertical length in general, reaching to his thighs on one side, while the other was bunched up behind the hilt of his katana. It had a high round collar like the shirts of many Shinobi, that came with a hood attached at the back, with white fur lining there. Although it was a strange request, he ordered the nitinol alloy to take the form of a dark clawed gauntlet, rather than armor directly on the shirt. That gauntlet came with the coveted Taser Knuckle installed inside of it. On the other hand was a chakra dispersal glove, with the Snap Lighter installed in that one. Next to mention was the Kumogakure flak jacket, one that betrayed his actual rank, but that's exactly why he did it. Two reasons. The first was to scare enemies into believing he was a Chuunin or Jounin, and the other was to prove to the higher ups in his own village that he was ready to take the title. It had a single scroll pouch on the lower back and was fastened by only one strap over the left shoulder, which was also fastened with a button. The front consisted of one diagonal line going down to the left with four small lines on top and one medium size line line going down to the right that was perpendicular to the previous line. While the flak jacket only covered half of the torso, Soraru made up for it with multiple other bits of armoring.

What anyone would expect an Iron Country boy to get, the Tosei-Gusoku. Though he didn't wield the full set. He used han kote for the forearms with a sode covering his right arm from the shoulder to the bracer. The sode was a steel grey with multiple plates of such a material, tied over a chainmail sleeve that was fitted over Soraru's shirt with sky blue, durable cloth material tying the two together, showing as very small ribbon-like ties between the steel plates. Along with that were shin guards made from iron splints connected together by chain armor to make kusari, and sewn to cloth and tied around the calf, also called suneate. Using his hitai-ite as steel protection around his neck, he connected two smaller steel plates underneath to form a proper yodare-kake. Lastly was the thigh armor on his left side, which were made similarly to his sode. made from cloth with small iron plates of various size and shape, connected to each other by kusari and sewn to the cloth. The cloth, like on the sode, was sky blue. In terms of lower body, he wore the black wrapped harem pants like earlier, and dark ninja tabi boots that were a cherry blossom pink on the bottom, with silent soles.

Oh, and the girl who arranged his inventory coated the mouth embers with a sweet cherry flavoring, long lasting. That was probably one of his favorite things. With a revamped Reito Kumo at his side, he made his way out to meet with his team.

Having arrived at the establishment after his meeting with the Raikage Toso was having a riveting conversation with the store keeper in regards to what seemed to be an oversized calligraphy brush that bordered on the lines of looking extremely unwieldy. It eased his mind and body knowing that Nathaniel had simply shifted duties to medicating individuals in the hospital. Mayhaps he thought...maybe he had been to rough on hi in their spar. "So would you like to take it off my hands?" Words that broke his train of thought as his attention formed again fixating on both the clerk and the brush. "I don't see how I could possibly decline Bloop." "Righto then I'll get it all set for you then Mr.Squiggles." With the departing of the clerk Toso looked downwards. Chunnin. Well, temporary Chunnin. It still had yet to hit home. Suddenly a clunk with a harness and sheathed brush on table. "Consider these a promotional gift." "Xie Xie. Bloop" "What's that you say?" "Thank-you bloop. Ah but I should really be on my wayward way. Bloop." Toso would leave the establishment therein. Train...he said. A test of combat he said. Well there was naught much else to do he figured. It would also take some practice to use his newly acquired artists implement.

Thanatos arrived at the shop then a thought occurred to him, didn't he own a portion of this building. It seemed it was currently own by Kumo. He had forgotten his name but he definitely gave someone seed money to start this. He would speak with Kaileer about buying this store again. He imply waited for his team

Kokuei Nara:



I’m walking through the village towards the Blue Dragon Emporium when I find myself in pain. ”What the hell?”

I reach up to feel my cheek, where I feel as though I had just been hit by something. I look around, searching for movement or something similar which might indicate an enemy within the village. I scan the area for a few seconds, but I see nothing. As I go to get back on the road I see a small package lying on the ground in front of me.

”Huh, I guess this must’ve been what hit me.” I bend over and pick it up. As I turn the package over, I see my name written on it. ”Ok, that’s not creepy or ominous at all….” I open the package and find a small, plain looking ring with a green glass enamel spiraling along it. I hold it up closer to my eyes and see a spark of red jump through the green glass. 

”Son of a…” I almost drop the ring. ”What the hell is this thing?” I ask as I hold it back up to the light. Then I see something reflect in it. It seems to be my name again. I look down and see that the wrapping for the package, which I had previously discarded, was actually a letter, addressed to me. ”Curious…” I reach down to pick it up, brushing some dust off of the page.

The letter read
Kokuei Nara,
Young man, we have been watching you from afar yet nearby for a while now, and we must say we are very proud of your growth. Congratulations on reaching Gennin and on not “Releasing your beast” any time recently, although that would have been so very entertaining. We understand that your village might be facing some, shall we say, difficult enemies in the coming weeks or months or however long before they attack, and thought we should help out. We wouldn’t want our favorite gennin to get himself killed, now would we? Well, not yet anyway. This ring has been imbued with a jutsu which we feel may be useful for you. It is the Benjigumo, or Crimson Earth Spider, a Rank B Katon technique that attacks and traps your enemies. Hope you find it useful. 
Until we speak again.

”Well, that was perplexing…” I ponder this letter and ring, which I slid onto my right middle finger, and was oddly a perfect fit, which made me a bit more nervous. I pushed it from my mind and rushed on towards the Blue Dragon.

Upon entering, I see Thanatos and approach him. ”Well, I made it. Where’s Soraru?” I ask after looking around.

"Nara-san, heads up." Came a voice from behind the Nara, just after the chime connected to the door announced another persons presence. The Nara boy would find a small sack headed towards him, not with any force but due to the amount of coins inside it would probably sting a bit if he didn't catch it. "That's fifteen hundred ryo, supply yourself for combat, but nothing flashy. Hatake-san, I heard you've been a Jounin in the past, so I figured you'd either have your own supplies or wouldn't need the ryo. If not, sorry, I'll ask the secretary to bump up your pay a bit after mission completion if that's the case." With that said, Soraru reached into his pocket and pulled out the small scroll he was given from the ANBU operative near the Hospital. "It's a B-rank intel gathering mission, but if we enter combat it'll be considered A. Takes place at Raijin bay, which isn't too far outside the village but we're still running late because of...the whole body switching thing that took place. That and I had to treat a head wound for someone. So buy what you need for combat but keep it on the stealthier side. Then we head out." He announced to his team, looking over the scroll after. It seemed like something out of a horror-mystery novel, where people are stolen and replaced like nothing ever happened. Where a loved one or mere acquaintance could be replaced overnight with nobody knowing. It was the perfect situation to have a spy infiltrate the enemy, but the problem was keeping cover. Some memories were valuable, and certain questions would seem off depending on who was asking. Such as someone who worked at a defense outpost in the past asking where that place is.

"Now that that's out of the way, the names Soraru Hiraite of Tsukihara Hana, a Hakemoto and fairly seasoned Genin for the village. Looking forward to working with you two." After the final part of his introduction, he waited for Kokuei to finish buying what he needed before stepping up to the counter as well. "Looking to buy a sleeve knife, got one in stock?" He asked the current one working the shop front, who left for a moment to grab what he was looking for before asking for the appropriate amount of ryo. "Soraru, right? Svetlana listed you to have a ten percent discount on all purchases. I covered it for your friends as well while you're here. Thanks for shopping with us!" She said, and he nodded with a smile, handing over the needed ryo for the purchase. [-450]

Thanatos was waiting as the Nara and Hakemoto arrived he made a slight bow after the introduction so he could introduce himself."My name is Thanatos Hatake, you are correct I used to be a Jounin for Kumogakure. Though I might be a bit rusty, hopefully I can be of use in this mission."Thanatos smiled at the Hakemoto boy."You would be correct, luckily all my belonging were kept safe during my time of non-service. I'm fully equipped." Thanatos was ready to follow Soraru, as he was the mission lead.

Soraru clenched and released a fist a few times, shaking his arm around too, making sure that the new wrist mounted blade didn't come loose easy or eject off a malfunction. He waited a few moments after confirming the "okay" on the device for Kokuei to order and receive his own goods before speaking up. "I know this was a last minute mission, but I still have some advice. Whenever you have an upcoming job, you should order from the Blue Dragon early, since a few materials like certain weapons and armors take a couple days to make." He said, remembering how his own custom set had to be done overnight, so he just slept in Svetlana's tailory.

"Anyways, we're all set and done, so let's go to the gate." He told the team, waving goodbye to the girl managing the store front before walking to and out the exit with his team.
