Kai bowed as the Mizukage came into sight, as he rose back up his head rushed and he slightly staggered. Knowing he was still a little unstable he performed a set of handsigns a puddle forming infront of hom. Th puddle casting his reflection in it, the reflection quickly changed into a living clone of Kai. kai finished his hand signs a clone of himself standing next to Kai helping to balance himself.

With a sigh, deciding it best to pick something before Zane's attention span drove him to do something else entirely, Luo shrugged. "Well, I've gotta figure out a way to get a new katana this week. Apparently I can now only use my father's weapons for training, not for missions. So I'm going to go help organize the blacksmith's weapons while he's away. It seems the person he left in charge has no idea what he's doing, so they need someone who does to go in and fix the mess he's made. As for you, why don't you get that weird plant out of the training grounds and take it to the hospital? They've been looking for someone to do that for quite some time." For Zane, it would become clear that Luo had been staring at the mission board long before this meeting, contemplating which ones he were to take. Luo however, was fairly certain Zane had no idea what he was even talking about. "....Or, I guess you could patrol the village. But that would probably take way more time than it would to pick up a plant and take it to the hospital."
While a sort of bait to get Zane to do it, Luo was right. Patrolling the village could take hours, while escorting a plant from one place to another in the village could probably be performed in a fraction of the time. It was also a trap though, one carefully yet quickly planned out by Luo. You see, Luo had noticed a request for helping hands at the hospital from medical shinobi in the village since it was overcrowded of late. Zane himself being the only one of the pair capable of such feats, he knew it would be inevitable that once he got there he'd be dragged into helping. Sure he'd find it annoying, but even still it would probably take less time than patrolling the village. Not to mention keep his absent-minded friend busy, and just as well force him to do some sort of training that day. As for Luo? He planned on tracking a thief that day.
When Zane mentioned tossing Luo like a rag doll around the ring, Luo held back the urge to hit him on the head then and there. Besides, he could prove his point on the field rather than right there. "Yeah right, what are you gonna do? Heal me to death?" Chuckling to himself, Luo began to walk into the mist, left hand in pocket, right hand up in the air as he waved to Zane behind him. "We'll see about that tonight buddy! When you're all done meet me for lunch at the Ramen bar. After we get some food we'll spar okay?" With that Luo's frame faded into the morning mist, rays of the sun causing it to twinkle like minuscule stars.

XXXXXXXXXKirigakure ♥ Jounin ♥ Tai/Ken Master XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Elmina arrived at the tower and proceeded through the doors, she showed her identification card to the guards and the secretary and proceeded up the stairs. The many ANBU that were hidden in various places in the tower stared at her, she could feel it. She walked up many flights of stairs until she reached the third floor and planted her feet on perfectly carpeted floors. She walked calmly down the hall and took a quick left into a waiting room across from the Mizukage's office door. She pulled out two files from her bag and stared at the manilla color of both of the folders, they were the shinobi profiles for both of her students. "An Uchiha and a Hyuuga" She mumbled to herself, then closed her eyes and set her right hand on both of the folders. She remained silent, as if meditating.

The water shadow listened with keen interest of the girl's story, nodding in approval towards the end of her report. He stared at her face for a moment, wondering if she regretted taking the life of a thief. Regardless, he could tell she knew the price of being a shinobi thus what the description of such a title carries. He already knew the one who wanted the mission completed had properly rewarded her for it. "Well done, you carried out your mission quickly and efficiently without drawing more attention then needed. As well as showing mercy....though that isn't required" He stated calmly before looking through his files. He had finally constructed the last of the new squad units when he looked over at Kai, who seemed to still be rough around the edges. "Kai, you've completed your mission well. Now before you collapse go to the hospital and recover properly so you'll be in shape for the next assignment. Some things are changing around here" He ordered, though he was impressed the boy handled the situation well. It was then he noticed Elmina who just arrived, his bluish colored eyes lingering upon her crimson red before averting his gaze back upon the genin before him. "Shura, for the time being you have but two options before you. You can take on another mission, or you can be free to do as you wish around the village until I illustrate the chuunins and higher ranked of their new squads. What is your choice" He said, motioning for Elmina to come closer as he spoke.

Her crimson red eyes dazzled brightly as she was beckoned to him, then she smoothly moved forward and stepped on. Her heels clicked softly on the carpet as she approached the man she swore her life to as her leader. She stepped into the office and bowed her head slowly, gazing at him the whole way down until her eyes met with the floor. She then looked up, holding files in her hand calmly. Her pale porcelain face stiff in an emotionless act, her lush pink lips set in a cold line, her eyes the only thing that seemed to be real. "It's good to see you again, Lord Mizukage" She said softly, her voice was soft as silk and as deep as velvet. Seductive, angelic, and so dangerous all at the same time.

Shura gave a nod to the Mizukages words of praise. But when he gave her options on what to do she simply sighed. "Well Mizukage-sama, I've been thinking about doing some, special, training on my own. So i believe I'll be going off on my own to train within the village for now." Shura told him as she gave him a bow of respect and turned to leave. She slowly walked towards the door, then before she left she turned to look back at the Mizukage. "Just have my squad leader come fetch me when my squad mobilizes." Shura told him in a simple happy tone as she then turned and left off down the stairs and out of the building to find a quiet place to train.

Thread Walking One Simple :: C-Rank Utilizing their new balance, the user can now walk on threads and wires without much difficulty and without chakra.
Solid Footing Simple :: C-Rank When on the ground the user becomes incredibly difficult to throw off of his or her footing, in or out of stance.
Sensory Information Simple :: B-Rank A passive technique that allows the user to judge the location of an incoming object or person, but not the direction it is moving in, based on sounds and disturbances made in the environment.
Swordslinger Simple :: B-Rank The rapid changing and using of blades during a battle has become recently known as “swordslinging” within the martial world due to its resemblance to certain methods of using long-range weaponry. Within the Shunkan no Hagane style, however, this is a technique taken very seriously, and as such it is only given to those who have mastered the style up to this Stage and have experience using at least five weapons. The technique involves rapidly unsheathing, attacking, and sheathing weapons without pause, constantly changing mode and form of attack, and results in the user’s ability to use techniques without any extra physical cost.
Offensive Style: Knife Stances Practice :: Rank E The user becomes more accustomed to upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions. Increasing the speed in which they can perform by a moderate margin. ( speed sharply increased )
Offensive Style: Simple Play Practice :: Rank E With this practice, the user is able to more comfortably switch between upward, downward, and sideways slashing motions in a pinch.
Trick Style: Knife Toss Practice :: Rank D The practitioner has developed a greater sense of precision- able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the hilt with ease. ( Only by the hilt, not the tip of the blade. )
Offensive Style: Artless Draw Practice :: Rank D The practitioner has better developed their ability to pull their blade straight from its resting place to an offensive slash.
Offensive Style: Two-fer-One Practice :: Rank C The practitioner is now accustomed to performing techniques they have mastered with either one or two knives.
Trick Style: Retreating Feet Practice :: Rank B The practitioner, already frequented by many techniques in the style, has finally realized that with a little bit of personal training, they are able to increase the precision and speed at which they lift and press their feet. This not only assists their ability to sneak up on people faster and quieter, but also helps when running from trackers. (Speed Sharply Increased)
Trick Style: Blade's Edge Practice :: Rank B The practitioner has developed an even greater sense of precision- able to throw, juggle, and catch their knives by the tip with ease. Additionally, some projectiles, such as shuriken or kunai, can be caught by their tip.

As Shura left the building he looked towards Hirose who he finally motioned forward so he can give his report before he forgets to call upon him. As quiet as he was he had to remind himself a tad bit more of his presence. Looking back at Elmina he heard the clicking noise of her heels with each step she took until she was before him. His eyes remained upon her figure as she slowly bowed down, up to the point where her eyes were no longer in view. The files she held at hand were of the two she spoke of previously, though one of them were no longer within her squad. "It's good to see you as well Elmina...I trust you've been well?" He inquired, his eyes studying her as her voice ran smoothly through his ears. Something of a succubi perhaps, dangerous, yet beautiful. Much like a rose who's thorns were poisonous.

He may have been only a mere clone, but something was different, she just couldn't put her finger on it right now. Her blood red eyes looked at him with scalding pools of molten lava. "Of course, sir. Quite fine. I hope you as well?" She stated smoothly, then stepped out from in front of his line of vision and sat on a chair in front of his desk, placing the files on her lap. She looked to the other man in the room and her lush lips parted delicately, her eyes looking back at Mikoto and examined him. "I have some things I wish for you to go over with me" She stated softly, her voice was smooth and was directed only at him. As if she were speaking out loud, but her words only reached his ears.

The water shadow nodded his head in response to the question she imposed to him of his health. Of course, he was but a clone. But he was doing relatively fine. His eyes followed as she moved to a desk, the files placed upon her legs which his eyes moved from them back up to her face. "Very well...what is it you need me to go over with you" He asked, wondering what she could need help with. Her lips would catch his attention here and there, though his expression showed it not. Lush and full, her words escaping the parted segments coated them with an addicting venom. He often wondered what was she, as her family was shrouded in mystery. Perhaps it made it more interesting?

She would study him for a long period of time in silence, until she figured she should say something in order not to make the other guest feel a bit off. "The files for Rey are very out of date and as for the Hyuuga, I wish to keep him on my team, even if it's on the side. He has a lot of potential and I wish to keep my eyes on him" She stated softly, setting the files on top of the desk in front of the Mizukage and set her perfect hands on top of the files, her long nails running along the thick paper. Her eyes looked deeply into his once again and showed pools of heat, but her face showed no emotion or reaction of any sort.

As Luo walked towards the tower, he stopped for a moment in a nearby alley, procuring the small clear pouch from his leg holster, as well as halfway unzipping his liight T-shirt-like jacket to pull out a larger clear pouch. Opening the larger one, he dropped the smaller one inside, closing it and placing it back in his coat pocket. Zipping it back up, the genin continued forward to the office. Although he was usually calm, he couldn't help but feel some pang of nervousness. After all, the first time he had seen the Mizukage was this morning, and it was a simple meet and greet before his headband was handed to him. Now however, he was actually here at the behest of the man, who had apparently sought him out specifically for a mission that to Luo's knowledge, wasn't normal for genin to actually perform, let alone solo. What the note he destroyed said was what gave him that slight notion of being nervous, the scrutiny of the highest ranking shinobi in the village. He wasn't very mysterious about it, making it quite clear that the mission was a test of Luo's abilities. His reported capacity to think in the field strategically in an efficient manner, as well as the ability to think critically under stress. Now that he thought about it, the other shinbi who were there were probably going to hand in a report on how he did.
Turning out of the alley, it didn't take Luo but five minutes to reach the archway which led to the double doors. Opening one of them, he allowed an older gentleman to walk out first, bowing his head in respect. Walking in after him, he was surprised to see the reception area wasn't as busy as it was earlier. Although, after thinking on it he realized it was around lunch time, which meant most shinobi were at the ramen shop. Walking up to the secretary, she nodded as Luo walked up as if remembering why he was back so soon. Still, she allowed Luo to speak for himself. "Good afternoon, I'm Luo Ushio. I have an open afternoon meeting with the Mizukage to report a recent mission." Going down a list with her pen, she seemed to circle something as if to say 'here it is.' Extending an arm towards the spiral staircase that lead to the second floor of the building, she told him he was free to go. Nodding he muttered, "Thank you" before immediately continuing up the stairs. With each step his pace got a bit faster, his heart pounding with nervousness turned into excitement. Knocking the door even though it was slightly open, Luo announced his presence before entering, finding it rude to come in before he was done addressing the girl inside. Instead, Luo decided to wait patiently until the man called him in. At least it gave him time to calm himself.

Listening to her request his eyes remained upon the pools of dark red of which were her's, hearing her nails run over the thick stack of paper as she spoke. As she finished he wondered for a moment or two to himself, as there was a reason he placed the hyuuga in the other squad. But perhaps he can find another to replace him within Eve's squad. "I can make some arrangements where he can be on your squad, at least on the side should he be up for it. It would mean twice the work out of him but at the very least he'll be able to grow twice as fast.....or crumble" He stated, pausing briefly as he became aware of another genin's presence which he noted was Luo. It would appear he was finished with his mission and looked back over at Elmina. "I ask for you to remain this time, Elmina" He said softly, as the last time they had gotten company she had left. Looking towards the door he straightened up and called out. "Enter!"

XXXXXXXXXKirigakure ♥ Jounin ♥ Tai/Ken Master XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Elmina nodded her head as he spoke, thankful that he would make some arrangements. She knew that the Hyuuga and the Uchiha had already become familiar with one another, so cutting them off because of a squad change would seem a bit pointless to have met at all during a decent spar. She licked her bottom lip as she sensed another shinobi at the door, she was about to stand up and excuse herself, but the Mizukage had already beat her to the punch basically. She glanced her eyes over at the man and then looked down at her lap as she rose her hands off the desk and placed them calmly in her lap, looking peaceful. Her presence was that of a quiet statue now, then her eyes moved and looked out the window, past the Mizukage. "As you wish, sir" She said softly, her voice like smooth velvet, obviously not used to taking orders. Her mind was racing as she thought of the previous Mizukage and how they first met, which only sent a spark of amusement through her eyes. Her gaze was out the window past the Mizukage's head, but her eyes were a bit closed, leaving half pools of fire floating in a cloud of white.

At the abrupt commander to enter the office, Luo pushed the door open and walked to the desk gracefully, as if his family had drilled into him manners as well as poise. One could say training kept Luo well aware of foot placement. Stopping six feet short of the desk as well as the girl sitting in front of it staring out the window, Luo bowed from the hip respectfully for a moment before pulling back up in order to speak. "Good afternoon Mizukage. i came to issue my official report as far as the investigation of the apartment fire is concerned." Luo spoke respectfully, yet with a calm confident manner. When he felt he did a good job on something, the words as well as overall demeanor seemed to just come back to him. It was like when he knew a strategy on the field; he just seemed to become even more so calm than usual. Placing his left hand in his pocket, he allowed his right to sit at his side as he waited for a response from the man. In all honesty, Luo was happy to report the case considering how interesting it turned out to be. If anything, it would probably be one of the more interesting things the Mizukage heard all day. It certainly was for Luo. 5/6
