Kris wasnt really paying much attention, she was still sort of sulking that the mission failed. But there wasnt anything she could do, they couldnt even get past Konoha to get onto the road to The Land of Lightning, sometimes life sucked. Still, she would suck it up and brave the Kazekage's steps, almost bumping into a young man who looked like he just got his headband. Who knows, Kris may run into him again. Being quick she apologized to the young man, after all she had bumped into him. "Sorry." Just a short quick apology, her head wasnt fully in it.
Finally she reached the Kazekage's office and entered through, clearing her voice for a moment.
"Kaori-sama, Kris here. I um, have a report of the last mission. It... It was a failure. I'm sorry..." Her voice trembled a bit and it was clear she had been emotionally beating herself up the whole way here, even up the stairs and to this point now. Whatever the Kazekage's decision, she would have to accept that.

Smiling some at her he began to speak now that there was a brief moment of time. "Other than to see you do I need reasons?" Letting a moment pass before laughing a bit assuring her that he was not just there because of his fondness of her. "Well now that you mention it, I was going to fill you in on the training of that student. I will be a difficult task and to better teach this one I might need access to some heavier jutsu soon," He was about to explain more but another had entered the office. This time not a genin from the academy but a mission report update. Apparently a failure. Kaz leaned forward a bit uneasy. Some might think to make light of a situation as such but he was more serious about tasks for the village coming back like that. Not even thinking he blurted out "What happened? Is there anything that still can be done to fix this?"
Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.
Kaori sighed softly as Kristhyra reported that a mission had failed, one that she had taken on herself. She sat back in her chair and rubbed at her eyes, "Well, that could be an issue. Konoha isn't exactly on friendly terms with anyone at the moment. What caused the failure of the mission?" She looked over at Kaz and smiled slightly, it was nice when he showed how serious he could be, and how loyal he was to the village, "Relax Kaz, I'm sure there is an explanation forthcoming."

With the memory of his successful terraform still fresh in his mind Nari had a bit more pep in his step. Quickly making his way though the building he quickly reached Kaori's office. However he raised a brow noticing the door was wide open and they were discussing a failed mission. Well that certainly wasnt good though he was in fact working on a time limit. With a nod he rapped on the door with his knuckles a couple times before heading into the room. Once inside he noticed a couple shinobi he did not know and quickly adjusted his kumo headband as he dipped his head to the both of them in respect before bowing at the waist to Kaori,"Lady Kazekage, the requested task has been completed and I imagine my team is growing rather eager to return home." He hoped she would not be offended by the brevity of their stay nor his formality in walking in the way he did.

Kaori looked over as Nariomi walked into the office and she nodded at him, "Thank you so much for that, please make sure to let Lade Koneko know that everything you've done for me has been met with the utmost satisfaction, and make sure she gets that scroll. I'm looking forward to our alliance. Make sure you and your team get home safe, grab some supplies before you leave, I know it's a long trip." Once she'd addressed Nari, she turned back to Kristhyra, "Continue your report, Kristhyra."

Kris nodded, once the man left she took a deep breath to try to calm herself down. Things at Konoha hadnt gone well and in part she felt it was her fault for failing to explain. "We reached the crossroads from The Land of Wind to the Land of Fire, however upon heading in deeper and getting within Konohagakure territory, I found the path blocked by an immense log. Normally I would have just cut right through it, but there were Konoha Shinobi ontop of the log, asking for our clearance paperwork. When I stated we were on a request from Sunagakure to obtain some things from the Land of Lightning they laughed, stating that there was no team at all." She exhaled, their haunting laughter hurt her more than it upset her to be frank, she wasnt supremely confident about being a team leader, and having one of their team never even show up for the mission didnt exactly help. "I told them I was the leader of the Squad and they pointed out I was clearly no Jounin nor did I have a Squad, just two other girls with me. Circe never showed up after the mission briefing so I didnt know what to do. We went on anyway because Tyrika and Aki both wanted to go on, but when we got to the path we couldnt continue. I... I tried explaining but they wouldnt listen. So... Im sorry Kaori-sama. I failed the mission. I should have done a better job of explaining or or or..." she would trail off, blaming herself for the incident. She was willing to take full blame cause she was the team leader and it was her responsibility.

Listening to what the Kumo ninja had done he was very curious. He would see if Kaori would let him in on this info. Hearing of the mission fail he was understanding to the situation but at the same time was feeling as though the Konaha ninja had been a bit rude to his fellow shinobi of Suna. "Don't take it personally Kris, In anyone's situation, not fighting there would have been best. On their territory with more foes then allies would have only put your students in harms way. Or they might have called for reinforcements." Glancing over to his Kage. "Although I feel as though they lacked a great deal of respect for our village, Should we form a team and teach a lesson on how to host your guests?" Having a slight smile on his face as he flipped his spear up to the side of his body. "I'll even lead it if it is your wish."

Kaori shook her head and looked over at Kaz, "Right now, we'll leave it. Konohagakure is not our friend, as far as I know I don't think they're anyone's friend. We don't need to start a war right now, and any sign of aggression could do just that. As much as I would love to go and wipe the smiles off of those punks' faces." Kaori rubbed at her temples for a moment and shook her head before she looked at Kris, "Oh, before I forget to tell you, Sunagakure is now officially allied with Kumogakure, and we are to treat all Kumo shinobi as such. That being said, we are never to fully let our guard down, because you know how easy it is for another village to try and impersonate someone else. Now, I believe that you have more important things to do than listen to me ramble on, I told a new genin to find you, his name is Kota, and he is a tamer, with a Ferret for a partner, I sent him to the Gates to look for you, so you should probably find him. He will be taking the place of Circe."

As the female shinobi began to recount the details of her mission Nari made mental notes of what she had said. Given her account Konoha sounded like it was on the brink of waging war as it sat. Then another Suna shinobi chimed in wanted to get revenge for the slight with a sigh he cleared his throat once Kaori had finished,"Lady Kaori, If I may give my tactical appraisal. Given what your shinobi said, Konoha has indeed been taking steps to secure is borders beyond what it normally has been. In my experience papers arnt asked for until one reaches the last checkpoint before the gates, not that far out into their territory. Furthermore given the fact that it was plain gear shinobi instead of anbu indicates that they have enough shinobi to afford to station them on simple patrols and choke point guard. They must have stepped up their training and recruitment. If thats the case the odds that they are preparing for an offensive are exceptionally high." Turning to the female shinobi he dipped his head,"Please, tell me everything you saw about the shinobi. Gear, their physical builds, age, even the way they stood when they blocked your path. Every detail can help us build a picture." It had been a long time since he had been a tactical adviser but Nari knew war, he knew it all to well.

The Kazekage wasn't upset, that is all that mattered. She let out a huge sigh of relief only to have this foreign Nin suddenly get in her face and start asking her questions that she didn't have an answer to, but besides that didnt *want* to answer. Under any other circumstances she would unsheathe her blade and strike him then and there, but she was in the Kazekage's office so she couldn't, not without getting yelled at. So she lost it, she let loose on him letting all the anger and frustration out on this poor sod who was pushing way to close to her personal space. "Alright thats ENOUGH. Get OUT of my face. Its none of your ******** business, I don't care what village you are from or if we are allies or not, it wasn't YOUR mission. It was MY mission. I failed it, it was MY mistake. YOU have no right to ask ANY information about it." With that she stormed out of the Kazekage's office, slamming the door shut behind her using her tail and exhaled deeply. He hit the wrong nerve and was far to in her face.
But she had a new gennin to go meet, at least. Of course this would mean she would have to test him too, see if he was good enough.

Hearing Nariomi's theory and judgement of the situation and what it meant impressed Kaz some. He wasn't quiet the strategist as the solder to have in the front lines, or by himself entirely. "If these assumptions are correct perhaps I could go alone leave my headband behind and play the roll of the wandering spear man. Do a bit of investigating as well as not take s**t from any patrol men." Smirking some knowing that Kaori knows this is what he does best. Going in and coming out fine. His personal ability to absorb most jutsu was what put nearly every shinobi he encounters at a huge disadvantage. Accompanied by his mastery of the spear little to no bukijutsu or taijutsu could compare. He left this decision up to the Kage, but regardless he still wanted a word with her once the room was clear.
His train of thought snaped about as fast as Kristhyra did. She seemed to not take kindly to being cross examined. Still sensitive perhaps about the mission failure. After hearing her storm out of the office he could not help but clear his throat and state the obvious."Well.... That escalated quickly." Saying with a slight chuckle in his voice. Looking back to the Kumo ninja. "What would you think of such a plan."

Kaori sighed and rubbed at her temples and had to resist the urge to slam her head into her desk; repeatedly. She looked up at Kaz and frowned, "You are skilled, almost on par with Iwao, and I don't doubt that you will one day match him, if not surpass, but this is a fellow hidden village. This is the Land of Fire we are talking about. They are not to be taken lightly, and I'm not willing to risk one of my best shinobi without further information." She sighed softly once more and closed her eyes, "Nariomi, I apologize profusely for Kristhyra's behavior, barring maiming and death, I do give you permission to retaliate, as is your right, since she treated you so poorly, seeing as you are our guest here. Just please, she is one of my chunnin, and is needed. I will be having words with her later."

When the tailed woman, no child, got in his face a strong scent of mint filled the air as his body was coated in a feild of emerald green. Were this any other village, any other person he would have slain her on the spot without hesitation or remorse. However punishment was not his to give, or was it. After hearing Kaori and Kaz's words he pinched his head and calmed his chakra taking the scent of mind with it. With a sigh he shook his head,"No Lady Kaori despite how much I would enjoy embedding my blade into her, judgement is not mine to render nor are the actions to be taken upon said judgment. I leave that particular course to you Milady." Facing Kaz he began,"While I mirrior Lady Kaori in her estimation of your skill, I agree. This is one of the five great nations were talking about here. We have not had any news from them in some time and we dont know the quality of their shinobi. For all we know they could already outclass us all and just dont feel we are worth the time it would take to kill. Though back to the problem at the source. I dont think they are willing to go so far as to wage open war yet, at least not with the great nations, otherwise your Chuunin would not be alive here today. So if I may, I advise preparing your shinobi as best you can for war. Sending out recon teams would also be an advisable course of action. So that when the inevitable does occur you shall have the intel and military readiness to proceed effectively. My sensei taught me that he who knows either himself or his enemy will be victorious in half his battles, he who knows both himself and his enemy will never be in peril in a thousand battles." Things were getting bloody annoying and fast. He needed to gather his team and report back, and that wasnt something he was looking forward to. After all he had an incredible amount to report in on.

Twitching his eyebrow at their thinking that he was not quiet up for the task. Land of fire, mist, stone it didn't matter to him. But they had a valid point. The fact that Kaori didn't wish him to go made him wonder more on what he was dwelling on. She usually had no problem letting him settle outside village issues with violence without hesitation. 'Maybe I'm rubbing off on her, maybe I'm getting my hopes up.' Acknowledging the Kumo ninjas opinion he nodded his head. "You being just a chuunin is impressive to deduct that much, The Kage of Kumogakure must be a very wise person, What would you propose we do now for preparations?"

Kaori huffed, she just knew what Kaz was thinking, and she shook her head at him, "We're not calling you unskilled, and you well know this." She was harsh at times, but she never lied, "Right now, discretion is the better part of valor. Better to learn our enemy before they knock on our door." She gave Kaz a significant look and pursed her lips before she shook her head once more and flicked her ears at him, "As for Koneko being wise.... she can be, but that's more her husband's thing, from what I remember of him. I was usually the one trying to prevent her from killing people. For a medic, she's really violent." Kaori said sheepishly.
