Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryumon Tensa
"Know that the way of the shinobi should be one of love for his family and people...Know too that the way of the shinobi is terribly harsh..."

Ryumon entered through the door with his hands in his sleeves and his hood raised. He surveyed the room noting the amount of people here. It seemed that the Kaze Kage was not in the best of moods.

"I had come to see if there was anything I could do for the village but if Kazekage-sama is busy it can wait" he said with cold detachment.

Tanto paced around his office looking at each and every ninja before speaking, "Listen up! Because some dumb b***h got her a** beat my sister got kidnapped along with my place of business. So, you seven will be launching a retrieval mission to get them both back, however, there will be one leader, the one person that has a clear enough head to think s**t out." The kazekage raised his finger, moving it down the line of people, past Akeru, past Akira, past Ryumon, past every single one until it stopped at the end, on the only other girl in the room besides Akeru; Kyou Koubadeyou. "You may be a genin, but you know how a team should be ran, and you know what to do when confronted, and you can actually use the resources to your advantage so that you don't get yourself killed as a pointless sacrifice. So while Four is tracking the people that took her figure out what each person can do." Tanto obviously took a cheap shot at Akira's self induced injury from the chunin exams, however, the newly promoted chunin would be wise not to bring it up.

Kazu was a bit surprised by the mission and was now fully ready to go all out... He could understand where the Kazekage came from. It was family and Kazu could imagine himself in the man's position and admired him for it. "Kazekage-sama... one question. These people who kidnapped your sister... how dangerous are they?"

Ito turned to find Akeru, he guessed it was the girl that had her head down in shame and embaressment. "So Akeru, did the seem organized or just thugs? How many did you see? The more info we can gather the better our plan will become." Ito wasn't the leader but he seemed to be taking on leadership type qualities

What!? Kyou's going to bet he leader?

Akeru couldn't believe her ears. She knew that Tanto was still upset with her, so her being picked as the leader was out of the question, but Kyou was too scared to even defend herself when attacked! How could someone like that be chosen to lead the mission?

However, Akeru knew she wasn't in the position to make any complaints. She'd just have to go along on this one and maybe she'd get a chance to redeem herself a little.

"W-well, there were about 15-20 that just seemed like regular thugs, but their two leaders seemed more skilled. One had command of a giant scorpion, and the other seemed to have skill in genjutsu, enough to disperse my own illusions."

Akeru folded her arms and looked away from everyone else. It was easy to see she was trying to hide the embarassment of having failed against these guys in the first place. She also was reluctant, but she knew she would have to tell everyone about her weakness.

"...They weren't that strong or that bright at all. I wouldn't have even lost to them if it wasn't for my... I-I mean, I could have beat them, but...but I just...just happen to have...a major weakness...against genjutsu."

Nobody had to say anything, she could already hear all the taunting in her mind. A genjutsu specialist weak against genjutsu, it was definitely something she never wanted to say out loud, even though she wasn't very loud when she said it...

Theme Music: Akatsuki

"Ya we might be able to take out those guys, but we have to assume those were only some of them. Most likely they would have taken her to a stronghold or a base of some sort. I dought that they would have sent out all of the people at their disposal. So we know one can use a scorpian, and another genjutsu. The genjutsu may cause a problem if we all happen to be confronted by that guy at the same time. So so far we have two main enemies and henchmen with no particular skill." Ito was thinking of a way to get around the genjutsu

Ito went up to Kazu and wispered to him "Kazu I don't think now is a very good time to be giving our kage lessons on manners. We need to focus on the mission right now. His sister just got kidnapped he is just venting."

Ito then spoke up a bit,

"So anyone know any counter the one guy's genjutsu, I myself am not good with genjutsus. We will need a way to get around them or hell even through them."

Tanto glared at Kazu for opening his mouth let alone talking to him, "Since she was protecting my business, she was employed by me, I'm treating the same as anyone who fails at their position at my business." It was true, he was the one that put in for the mission every week, and paid handsomely to whoever was sent on it, of course a man is going to be angry when his personal business is taken by a bunch of random people. "Also, Akeru left out a key detail, if she was attacked by the same people that attacked every week they would be nothing but a band of hobos. None of which would be trained as a ninja except for one, and I'm guessing it's the genjutsu user since he's the only one that would give someone problems. I sent her since she is supposed to be good against genjutsu, but apparently she decided to keep that key detail away from me. If she hadn't I wouldn't have sent her in the first place." The Kazekage then glared at Ito, remembering the boy's face immediately, "you should give your leader a chance to talk, hell, she may be meek but she has the most experience out of you seven."
