XXXXX Ibara finally recharged from his "Spar" with Ryouichi watched as Ryoku came out in his new gear. "Looking tough as nails now." Ibara finally let a smile spread across his lips. "Alright as far as the thing I needed you to do. I need you to go to Takumi again, this time alone. Remember mask worn at ALL times. I need you to pick me up a pair of chakra dispersal gloves, and whatever you may need from Takumi since this will be the last time you'll be able to get out that way for a while. Leave as soon as you're able, here is a pass to allow you to pass through the sensory barrier." Ibara reached into his pocket and pulled out a slip of paper with a kanji on it and handed it to Ryoku. After doing so the Hokage mounted the stairs pausing momentarily to toss a sack that contained 4,500 ryo to Ryoku "Think of the extra 1,000 ryo as a bonus for reaching ANBU status." Ibara smiled as he exited the HQ heading back to his office.

Ryoku sighed a bit to himself when he heard about Takumi again, but on the plus side he had a bit more maneuverability and gear to his use. Catching the sack of Ryo he tucked it under his robe. He would have gathered up another substitute like last time but he had a few tricks up his sleeve this time around. Not that he was expecting resistance. Adjusting his mask to cover his face he made his way to the gates of the village.

Raising out of the shadow cascading off of the headquarters building he raised out facing the other Anbu "Sorry if I'm late." Ryoku took a moment to unmask himself to the fellow black ops shinobi.
Shikatsu looked at the Anbu member arising out from a shadow. He watched at he unmasked himself and apologized for being late. Shikatsu then stood up and took his mask off as well. "Late, not at all. I never gave you a time. So, tell me about yourself." He said setting his mask down on a file, hiding what it was.

Pausing for a moment, feeling a bit o ease with the question. He thought to himself if was actually allowed to discussed their personal lives with other members of the group. Hesitating a moment he spoke. "I am a Nara descendant, and currently have the elements of Suiton and Katon at my disposal aswell. I have a few tricks of my sleeve but nothing most Anbu wouldn't have."
Shikatsu listened and nodded, a smile showing when he heard he was a Nara. "Interesting, very interesting in fact." He said, thinking how small a world it was.

Taking out his new mechanical whip he inspected it a bit closer to see that it all was in working order. Wanting to test out the button to see how fast it repelled from the metallic cross but knew better being inside. "So, you wanted to see me here. What can I help you with?"
Shikatsu smiled again. "Nothing, it's what I can help you with. Ibara has given me the task of helping you now that you are an anbu. So, anything you want to know?" He asked as he looked at the strange whip.

Ryoku stopped for a moment putting his weapon away. Then looking to the Anbu. "Well I think I got the idea of everything down, Could you run by me again the standard duties of an Anbu when they are not currently in mission?"
Shikatsu scratched the back of his head, never having been asked that question. "Well, that depends really. Besides missions we look out for the safty of the hokage, the village, and everyone it in. If everything is ok, we can train, spar, or even relax. Well, to a point that is. Oh, i forgot to introduce myself." He said blankly."I'm Shikatsu Nara, I also use katon and suiton. " He smiled at him, wondering how he'd process it all.

Pausing when he heard the name Nara his body almost froze. This was not his older brother but it seemed he would have been related in some what. He didn't even know that he had more family in the village. Although it would seem that the Anbu program really favored his clan. Then again they were known for their knowledge and quick battle strategies. Resuming his posture he found his voice again. "Ryoku... Ryoku Nara here. It would seem we have much in common in terms of ability. But yes that is helpful, I was unsure if I could rejoin some others I met as a Jounin." Ryoku stalled again looking breaking eye contact and looking slightly lower to the ground. "My brother joined the Anbu when I was younger, I haven't seen him since then. I was unsure of our ability to associate with others who are not in the program."
Shikatsu was interested at his reaction of his name and wondered what the Nara had on his mind. His question was soon answered as he listened to Ryoku talk about his past he remembered a certain someone from his past but shook the memory away quickly.. "Listen, Ryoku, this promotion into the ranks of Anbu is more then just part of our rank. There are things we will have ti give up, things we'll have to sacrifice, and things we all have to adapt to. It's not easy and sometimes, it can seem like it's not worth it anymore." He paused just to make sure that Ryoku would understand this next part. "When one of us adapts to this new life, it can be good or bad. I've done pretty well, but, I know others that have not been able to take it." He stopped for any questions he would have and to see how he reacted to hearing the best and worst case scenario's he'd offer.

Ryoku understood what he meant. But what his brother did could not possibly be because he was that busy. For a good bit of his life he lived without him wondering if he was alive or dead and not once did he ever even just let us know he was alive. He very well might still be alive but there seemed to be no way to find out, not currently. "I understand where your coming from. I just don't think I could turn my back on my family for good, if it came down to it." Remembering the shop that he was going to be constructing he thought it time to get on the move on that. "If that was all. I has been a pleasure meeting you, but I have a few matters I must dedicate a bit of time to. If there was nothing else you could find me at the construction zone in town. A new store is currently being built to better service the village."
Shikatsu nodded and, at the moment, he did not need anything else from him."No, that will be enough for now. If you need help, I'm free and will most likely be training a few things. Probably here actually so i don't bother other people. When you're free again, I'd love to test you." He said, not really giving much detail to it.
