☽Madaraki Shiso☾ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Mood: ... Awkward. Uncertain.
Status: About to catch up with a group...
Location: The Raikage's Office.
Theme: Shiso Image Theme B "Fly me to the moon, and let me play amongst the stars..."
... Now?! Ughh... Just when she'd thought she'd get a bath and a fresh set of clothes... This was just sad! She knew she should've picked training instead... So much for that... Well, it was already too late now. She then nodded her head and made her way to the door before turning behind and gulping, "Umm... P-Pardon me asking N-Nemutai-tono, but... W-Who am I looking for in the forest?" asked Shiso before further explaining herself a bit more, "I know a group of Cloud ninja, but... Umm... W-What do they look like? W-Who are they?"
Stupid thing to ask. But she wanted to be sure in case she ran into the wrong company in the deep of the forest; she didn't very much trust that place after what had happened... Speaking of untrustworthy, that girl was still outside waiting. She hoped she wasn't being a bother what with asking such questions to the Raikage, but she wanted to be certain as to who she was looking for...
That way she wouldn't be running around in circles on a wild goose chase.
"... You are all I longed for, all I worship and adore~!"

The Kage who had looked down at his papers look back up; having expected the girl to have been gone already "it is a group of 4 cloud Ninja; a Jounin with blonde hair and a sword; two Genin and a Chunin; the Chunin has white hair" The Kage said not really sure how to describe the group.

☽Madaraki Shiso☾ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ  "Fly me to the moon, and let me play amongst the stars..."
Shiso nodded and bowed before leaving, "Thank you very much, Nemutai-sensei. I'll be on my way," she said, quickly exiting the office while closing the door behind her, avoiding eye contact with those waiting outside. She had to move quickly; she could skip a bath, but a new clothes change was in order. Plus, she also needed to fetch her shuraba blades back at home; her elbow blades were nice, but she missed having her short blades at her side.
She then left the building and began jogging her way home, hoping that she'd be the only one there at the time; she really didn't have time for a family reunion right now...
"... You are all I longed for, all I worship and adore~!"

I'm one Nightmare...
Yuzuki's cold eyes watched the girl leave the office before she turned to enter the office herself so that she could get things out of the way too and begin her plotting for how she was going to get those items for the Raikage, this was going to be a different kind of challange for her, though she would use the trust that she assumed that he had for her to her advantage. It my be brittle, judging by the way that he seemed to go out of his way to make her miserable. However, she had a feel that it was there. Yuzuki didn't bother to knock on the door this time, she knew that he wasn't seeing anyone right now and so the gesture would go largely wasted. Her civility was running dry with him anyway, especially after that insult of the last mission. The only reason that she wasn't breathing fire and brimstone at the ungreatful welp was the fact that she got to see Kishi one last time before she took her destiny into her own hands and shaped the world to what it needed to be for the sake of humanity and its neo-bearers. Someday the world would revear her as a Scion of the gods, even if right now she branded traitor and villain. For the greater good...
The door creaked open to the Raikages office and Yuzuki pulled herself throught the door, she was subtly looking for his swords, she assumed that they were with him or at least near him, either that or they were at his home. Though even before the door opened she had a strong feeling that they were in the presence of the man who was supposedily famed for weilding them. It was a pitty that she didn't get the opertunity to see them in action with the chunin exams... she would have liked to see what all the damn fuss was about them and why the Otokage had such an interest is something that he could probably either forge on his own with the level of power that he had (not to mention the likely hood of the tremendous amount of jutsu to back it up as well). It seemed odd for him to hold such an interest in something so trivial as a necklace and a couple of swords. Truth be told she was becoming interested in them as well. Perhaps this necklace might have to go 'missing' on their travels back home, or maybe even 'not captured at all' so that she might have the opertunity to study it and try harness whatever power that it had. She doubt the a man such as the Otokage would miss something like this, with the sheer pressure of his existence, the necklace was going to be like throwing a match into an out of control forest fire. Regardless... she supposed that she had better amuse him and keep things straight and narrow for right now, he didn't seem like a man who was a forgiving one.
"My... lunch delivery was a success, Raikage." Yuzuki informed the man under the paperwork. She didn't bother to even try and hide the dark and unamused undertones in her voice. If he was aiming to insult Yuzuki with the mission, it worked and obviously so. Yuzuki walked over to the desk of the Raikage, she would let him think that she was under his sway for now, soon though, she supposed her true colors would be revealed to him and he would understand the folly of having used her as a puppet and a weapon for too long. If he championed the others for their compassion, then she would show him that those with none made brutal adversaries.
'Calm yourself, Yuzuki,' She reminded herself. 'Getting yourself aggitated and fired up won't make things any easier for you here.'
With a bit of a calming breath she looked over at the Raikage, she assumed that he had something else for her to do... though she did have a request of her own after he said his piece to her....you won't wake up from.

(Doing a fast post for you; my girly's over for the first time in a long time)
As Shiso left the room the Raikage remains seated and waited for the next person to enter the room; as he had thought; it was Yuzuki; she had taken a good deal longer then expected but hell; he had stalled on missions for some free time when he was a Genin; so he wasn't going to bite the girls head off for what he guessed was the same thing. "So How was Kishi doing? I had a feeling that you would have some interesting talks with him; after all he doesn't go around teaching anyone" As he said this the Kage stood up. "First of all I would like to thank you for dealing with a good deal; that would sent most Ninja into a raging fit; while remaining calm. Its a trait that I like in Cloud Ninja" He said in a bit more serous of a tone then normal. "Tell me; in your opinion; what do you think Shinobi are? What should the Ideal Ninja do; and why?" He asked looking at the girl who was standing in front of him.

I'm one Nightmare...
"Kishi is... Kishi, I will not pretend to understand the man, nor try. That being said, I can't read his true emotions at the best of times... wait a minute, how do you know Kishi?" Yuzuki asked with some level of surprise, she ahd no idea that the Raikage knew that she even met him, let alone learned from him... if he knew that then what else did he know? Her head dipped down a little and her eyes closed as she responded, she really didn't know how to answer such a question, he was the type of man who hid his emotions with a mask of jovinal resolve. So she couldn't give the Raikage an answer that was simple. Her eyebrows angled slightly into the bridge of her nose, not sure what the Raikage was getting at, but still gave him her attention. His question made her a little... off. It was strange that someone was actually asking her this. Most of the time, they asked and demanded an answer that was close to their ideals and if it wasn't the case, then they would try and suppress your thoughts into what they wanted.
"Why do you bother asking me such a pointless, and philosophical questions?" Yuzuki frown under her mask but eventually opened her eyes to look at the Raikage. Meeting his gaze. "The world of the Shinobi is a complicated one, those who have no power are forced to submit to those who have it, those who have talents are polished while those who have none are left and abandoned by the wayside. All in all, a shinobi is a weapon of war, a tool for those above them or with natural talents that the village they serve praises. A dull or broken weapon has no purpose, and thus, they are cast away when they are of no further use. That being said, this is not my opinion persay... but an observation I've made over the years of my struggle to be a shinobi."
Yuzuki's eyes dropped down and she glared at the table's surface, at her own reflection in the polished wood.
"It is frustrating for one such as myself who has no talent and the village sees as flawed, either because my chakra control was poor, or my outlook wasn't through the rosy coloured glasses that everyone seems to be blinded too. A shinobi must learn to strangle his or her emotions; When your opponent strikes, you don't let him cut you. When you have someone to protect, you don't let that person die, and when you strike, you kill. That is what it is to be a shinobi.
Yuzuki fell silent for a moment, why was he asking this? Why did he suddenly develop and care for her as a person? She hardly got more than a mission from him in previous encounters. It almost sounded like... she did something to get his approval, like he wanted her all of a sudden. She always wanted that... to be wanted by someone, but she was starting to wonder what he wanted now. It was rare that someone would praise her openly without wanting something in return; they would boost her pride before giving her another challange that they expected her to accomplish in return for such a comment. She sighed heavily and walked over to the window to look out at the village that she had grown to hate. "I can't say that there is a straight and narrow for an 'Ideal Shinobi', I believe that we all have a calling at birth, something that we were meant to do in order to fufill a destiny of sorts. I suppose an Ideal ninja would follow this path and obtain it no matter the cost or toll that it is placed on someone. Whether or not the shinobi chooses to follow this calling is up to them, but those that do are those whom I would call 'Ideal Ninja.' It doesn't matter if they are famous because of good deeds or immortalized by their infamy, if they are truely great ninja, they will strive and work for their destiny... and that's what seperates those who simply exist and those who change the world." Ideal ninja... a complicated concept that held no simple answer, he asked for her thoughts and she gave him a summery of them. She wasn't sure what was going to come out of this little questioning period but.. she was unsure of herself for the first time in a long time. Did... did the Raikage actually value her as a Shinobi after all? Why then, did he seem to go out of his way in order to actually make her miserable? What the Otokage saught, and what he was like from her first impressions... was he really willing to reward her for her hard work, or was she making a mistake after all... basing her choice off of a situation that she misinterperated? Yuzuki looked over her shoulded to the Raikage. "Why the questions all of a sudden? Its not like you held much interest in my skills or abilites... let alone my thoughts, before."...you won't wake up from.

"How I know Kishi is not; important; as long as you meet with him thats all that matters' He has a way if making you think even if that isn't his intention" The Raikage said before remaining in his place listening to what the girl was saying about the question that he had asked her. "You answered the question almost perfectly according to some people" The Kage said watching the girl. "I am asking this because between the time shortly before you left and now; some.... events have happened" He said still looking at the girl; the lazy Kage seemed to be completely gone; the man in front of Yuzuki seemed to actually be acting like a real Kage. "You might have heard but the Village hidden in the leaves has been completely destroyed by an unknown force; overnight. As well as There being reports of Sound Ninja tracking and killing..... Important Figures" He said still looking at the Chunin.
"The world is starting to change; Unlike the previous Kage I don't wish for the Uzumaki Alliance and Udai to Fail; but planning for just that is something that needs to be done. As for Me never being interested . I have been; but if I had shown interest you would have acted differently then how you normally would have" As he said this the Kage Walked over to a small Cabinet and placed his hand on it; his chakra unlocking the Cabinet. "You Skills are clearly above your rank; but I needed to see if your attitude was as well; Genin and Chunin; as well as a number of Jounin would have reacted negativly to those missions that you had been given... Sense you were in the academy the Teachers have given... interesting notes about you" As he said that the Kage Grabbed a few pieces of paper from the Cabinet and walked back over to his desk. "Think of them as.... having been test's so to speak. With the Attack on the Cloud a number of years ago; our forces are much lower then they have been in the past; and with the events that are happening in the world at the moment that is something that I need to change" As he said this the Raikage had no idea that Yuzuki had been confronted by the Village hidden in the sound.

I'm one Nightmare...
Yuzuki's eyes flashed over to the Raikage at the mention of the Village hidden in the Leaves, as well as the news of the Sound tracking and killing important people. Who where they attacking? Yuzuki bristled a little bit, important figures like the Kage or... something higher ranked, her goals and what not were dependant on certain people. She didn't give a damn about the Village hidden in the Leaves... they were of little consequence and there was that little Hyuga insodent to take into account. "Raikage... please tell me, who the Sound are tracking and killing."
As the Raikage went on she was starting to feel inner turmoil in her previous actions and was starting to realize the weight of the choices that she was actually going to have to make... if she didn't want to be in the ranks of Sound, now was the time to back out, she wasn't offically welcomed in there yet and so long as she kept quiet about her actually going there, then she should be okay in moving forwards. The Otokage probably wouldn't like it, but then again, she doubted highly that she had any endearing qualities for him anyway. Like he said, she was just one in many people who he could just pick up, and train to be ruthless. Things seemed to be taking an odd turn for Yuzuki. The Raikage was actually showing her a level of respect that she had not been accusomed too and it felt... weird. Her heart started to pound heavily in her chest for some reason, this praise that he was suddenly lavishing her with was what she had waited so long to hear from someone... anyone... and now she was hearing what she wanted to hear. Ugh... what was she going to do? She could get power from the Otokage... at least that's what Seika told her, but the Raikage had opened this door suddenly and unexpectedly. What was the best for her goals? Which of these opertunities presented to her was going to be the one that would aid her in her destiny to get her to her goal? Which was the right one... or was there one at all?
Yuzuki's eyes held confliction in them, staring at the Raikage for a moment before walking over to infront of the desk again and standing infront of it. The emotion in her eyes became blocked once more by the time she got there. "I don't understand, Raikage. What are you telling me, and why are you saying these things now?" Yuzuki pulled up a chair and sat down slowly, if she didn't know any better it almost sounded like she was almost about to be promoted to a Jounin herself. Her eyes fell to the desk top once more and a small smile played on her lips. "What did... the teachers say about me?"...you won't wake up from.

"That is information I can't give; but i can tell you that they are people that have done more for our world then anyone short of the Sage of Six paths himself" The Kage gave a round about way of answering; he didn't give the Direct answer that Yuzuki was looking for; but what he said had narrowed it down to pretty much only the immortals. They were after all the only people to defeat the 10 tails other then the Sage himself. "As for WHY I'm telling you these things; I normally would give you a mission of some sorts's as a test; but as I stated before; I have been testing you" He said before placing the papers on the table. "If you accept You will be promoted to the Rank of Special Jounin; allowing you to Train with the Higher Ranking Ninja of the village as well as learning Many Jutsu unavailable to you at your current Rank" He said looking down at the papers. "If you accept You can either Train; or go directly on an retrieval mission; there was another Jounin who was going to go on this; but she had been called to different duties; if you accomplish the mission you will be fully promoted to the Rank of Jounin" It was kind of Sad; The Raikage had been testing the Girl in order to see if she able to become a Jounin; but in doing so; the tests that he had given had only driven her away; to the point going rogue was a viable option to her.
"If you accept the Target you will be going for is a High Ranking Missing Ninja who uses the Blast Element; and escaped from the Prison when we were attacked; up until about a week ago we have been looking for his location; and now that we have it; we need him brought back either Dead or Alive" He said still looking at the girl; he had no idea if she would accept or not; a number of people had turned down the promotion to Jounin before so it was always an option. "As for what the Teachers said; they noted that although you always got the lesson/mission done; you often had conflicts with the other Students. You COULD be a great Ninja but your personality might have posed a problem, But over the last year; I have found out that even though you have a rough personality; you are professional enough to put differences aside when needed; or simply complete a mission on your own" As he had said this th Raikage sat back down in his chair; on the opposite side of the desk as the girl; so that as they talked they where as close to eye to eye as they could get.

Yuzuki felt sick to her stomach, as more words passed from the Raikage's mouth the more she was starting to realize that she had made a mistake. Yuzuki reached out and slowly took the papers to study them, she wasn't sure if this was a genjutsu or not, it was almost surreal enough to actually be one. Special Training? Techniques that were unavaliable at her current rank? It was an honour to say the least, one that was far greater than what the Otokage had... offered her. However... there was that loose end that was dangling if she took him up on this offer. There was also the fact of who the Sound were tracking and killing... if they were going after the Immortals and the tailed beasts that they governed, then that was a huge set back in her goals, she needed those beasts to be reborn or unleashed in order to put humanity back on the right track. She assumed that if this was true that the Otokage was going to use her for that... and quiet frankly she wasn't going to be used to foil her own plans and goals. For the greater good, sometimes sacrifices must be made. Yuzuki's eyes scanned the papers, but in the end her mind refused to pick up what was written down. Everything that the Raikage was reveiling to her was still turning in her mind, his words and admissions that both shattered her resolve about what she was doing and then rebuilding it back up again. She set the paper down infront of her gently. The Raikage had put her under a microscope, and despite her... differences... he was genuinely wanting her for her skills that she thought he cared nothing about before. What did Kishi say to her? 'It doesn't matter as long as the choice is yours'? She thought that she might have understood now, what he meant when he said fleshy puppets... there was hidden meaning behind it, she thought that she realized, maybe she was being manipulated by her own anxieties and was starting to waver when she told herself that she wasn't important or wanted by anyone in the village. She still very much hated this place and the people did piss her off more often than not... but there was someone who wanted her for her after all. He had faith in her abilities despite not saying so, and because of that he had confidence that those missions were achieveable for her.
Maybe she was being too easily swayed, power dangled infront of her and she reached up for it to grasp it, the Otokage saw that and wished to attach his strings to her to make her his own, and by dangling power over top of her like he did, she started to go for it. Perhaps it was time to step back and think about what she wanted for a moment. She closed her eyes in thought, a silence filled the room for a moment as she thought about what she needed to do, what was the best way to go about this and do what was better for humanity and not just herself. After a few moment she opened her eyes and took up a pen, signing the paper, though she didn't hand it over to the Raikage just yet. She looked it over one last time. A Jounin in training. It felt so good to be recognized after so much effort and running around and although she knew that refusing the Otokage would have consequences and she may be making a mistake doing so... it was her mistake and hers alone. It wasn't dictated by false conceptions and as a result of what couldn't be seen behind the scenes. A truth had been revealed and it had its own weight within her. Perhaps this was a mistake and foolish, but even so... if she could obtain a power beyond her and have the freedom in which to persue and strengthen her abilities so that she could move forwards, then this was what she wanted and needed right now. It wouldn't be easy, but to live was to fight.
"My only pause for concern with this mission are my abilities... after Kishi I trained for a little while, but I don't think that I have enough arrsonal to take down a high ranking missing ninja just yet. Will back up be provided just in case, or will this be something I have to do alone?" As Yuzuki asked she leaned back in her chair her fingers intertwining under infront of her face about where her nose was. This ninja.. she had a feeling that she knew who it was that she was going after. And if it was him... then she was once more going to have to sacrifice something of a mutual ally in order to obtain her goals... then again; for the greater good any sacrifice could be justified. Getting him would be tricky, from what she remembered seeing of him. "Could you give me the detail of this mission so that I can better prepare myself?"...you won't wake up from.

The Kage remains silent as he let the Chunin think about her choice; he truthfully didn’t expect and answer this day; he had seen Chunin think about this question for weeks at a time; he himself had taken a few days before he answered Shishio’ to become a Jounin, which was more than a bit awkward; having an old teammate be the one to promote you; so that you could protect them…. Either way once The girl signed the papers the Kage looked back at her. “Understandable; as I told the other Jounin we have tracker and Sensor Ninja on his location so he cannot retreat or go back into hiding so you still have a few days before you need to get moving; I gave the other Jounin a week, 2 days ago; so you still have five days before you need to leave; If you want’ you can always train with a number of the Higher Ranking Ninja; I believe a few Anbu are currently not on a task. I would have sent one of them; but they feel for the safety of the village they should remain here in case something happens” As the Raikage said this he remained looking t the girl; she had not given him back the papers but she had signed them.
“As for Details; the Target is a Blast user in the land of Stone’s, He has shown a great deal of resilience against Genjutsu; which I know you are focused on; but training can make up for that. He tends to try to use long ranged combat; using explosive Clay formed into the likeness of animals” He said remaining in his seat nodding slightly as he spoke. “So if you do with to Train with the anbu I can arrange that for you; as for backup I cannot Send anyone; but the Sensor and trackers who are already there will be able to make sure you get out alive if something happens against you”

I'm one Nightmare...
Yuzuki paused for a few more moments to make sure that her mind was made up about this before handing the paper over to the Raikage, he didn't seem to have much of a hidden agenda... if he did he likely would have taken this by force and hurried her away to do what she needed to do. A small smirk graced her lips under her mask. "I'm still wondering if this is a trick or a genjutsu... I honestly wasn't expecting this when I got back, just more missions like the previous."
The smirk fell from Yuzuki's lips as she let the Raikage speak. ANBU? Really?... cripes she had to pull teeth to get someone to help her around this village learning when she was a genin, and now she has ANBU at her beck and call? The Otokage could go hump his hat! She felt like she got the better deal here. She returned her full attention back to the Raikage as he described the person she was sent to fetch... it gave her some worry that her focus was once more going to be somewhat ineffective against her opponent, however hope was renewed when she heard that there was a way to strengthen her genjutsu abilities. However... was five days going to be enough? If she worked her a** off for two days straight... then rested one to replenish her chakra... then headed out, she could work on such things that she hadn't prefected yet on the way there. It would take her at least two weeks to get to the land of Stones...
"I understand, if there are ninja already there then I have no worries, it was more to make sure that he got away, and something to fall back on if he got the best of me. I'll take two days to train and leave on the fourth after a day of rest to replenish my chakra. I'm no good to anyone exhausted after all. If you could arrange the ANBU to meet me at wherever place is most convient for him or her in two hours that would be great." In that two hours, she planned to let Seika know that she wasn't going to be going back to Sound, she felt sorry for the girl, she could imagine that the Otokage was not going to be very happy, she would offer her some santuary for a while if she needed it, other than that, she just hoped this wouldn't lead to physical conflict, Seika was perhaps one of the few people who actually seemed to understand her a bit, and likewise, she was sure that she understood how Seika felt in some small measure. She had the same look in her eyes as she, herself, did. The Otokage needed her... or maybe it was her partner that did, and she wanted to be loyal to that person in order to feel like her life had value. She turned her attention back to the Raikage for a moment. "Is there anything else that I should be aware of? Seeing as this is in Stone Territory, will there be any red tape from their Kage in us doing this?"...you won't wake up from.

“Seeing as how you are not entering the Village hidden in the stone itself and just the country; you should have no issues with the Village hidden in the stones Kage” As he said that the Kage stood up and laughed slightly. “No this I not a Genjutsu; truthfully I don’t think I could even make a Genjutsu that could fool you; that’s the thing I’m not really good at” He said before walking over to the window and opening it; putting his arm out the window; as he did so one of the large hawks landed on his arm. As it did that the Kage walked back to this desk and wrote a small note with his free hand. Before attaching it to the Birds leg; and dropping his arm to his side; the bird quickly flapping its wings and bolting out the still open window causing a good deal of wind inside the room as its massive wings flapped.
“I will tell you now though; the anbu who are available will NOT be pleased with this arrangement; so ignore anything that they say” He said nodding slightly. “Alright The ninja at the gate will know the mission that you are going so they will not stop you” As he said that it was clear that meeting about the mission was now over; however the Kage remained looking at Yuzuki. “You seem…. Different than normal; did something happen while you were out of the village?” The man was mainly asking about the conversation with Kishi; the old Yuzuki would have jumped on this offer; but for some reason she was hesitant; so that made the Kage think that Kishi had said something odd to the girl; however he had no idea about the Sound ninja.

I'm one Nightmare...
Yuzuki looked over at the Raikage for a moment before standing up to join him, that breeze felt nice and right now she was looking for something to cool her down a little more. She felt heavy inside, what the Raikage didn't know about the sound wouldn't hurt him, and she planned to set things right almost immediatly so she wasn't going to dwell on that or let him know. Probably for the better. However, she wasn't sure what to do or say, she just got this promotion, she worked so hard for it and she wasn't sure if she should say anything about meeting this man earlier or not, just in case she lost the rank that she just got for going behind his back like she had. Ugh... she had made some stupid decisions. Yuzuki crossed her arms under her chest and held her elbows, her eyes downcast. "...Not really... but... everything that I thought I knew has turned out to be a lie and just been dumped on its head... and I'm a little confused, I guess. I thought that you were so hard on me because you hated me and just wanted me to get out of your hair. I wish I could say that the missions you assigned me were met with as much calm and stoic resolve as you seem to think that they were. I bore it innerly, though I kept it out of the missions that I was on, I know enough to realize that emotions can get int he way of better judgement." Yuzuki sighed and turned her head away from the Raikage. "I don't even know if I should be telling you this... I worked so hard to get this far, I don't want to loose it because I might not be what you think I was when you gave me that paper."
There was a lot of weight on her shoulders suddenly, the more the Raikage talked, the more that she seemed weight down with the past choices. The meeting with the man she was about to hunt, the meeting with the Otokage... god if he found out about that, how was he going to react? Throw her in prision for treason? Execute her for whatever reason... conspiring with another village perhaps. Kiko might have thought that she was a traitor waiting to happen, but in the end... was it really treachery when you felt like you were the one being betrayed? Well, she supposed that the Raikages reaction would dictate her next moves. Why was it... that she was the only one that had to sacrifice her happiness trying to make decisions that would effect the outcome of her calling. How did you choose when every decision you made had consequences and hurt others around you? How did you settle on one path when all of them brought you suffering and the wrath of those more powerful than you? Which was the lesser of two evils when all brought you damnation. Yuzuki felt trapped, perhaps she opened her mouth too prematurely, maybe she should have kept it closed and bore this stoically like always... but... she wanted to be wanted... she wanted to be needed by someone. Part of that was trust, she knew, but would the Raikage think lesser of her for her past choices, even though ultamently she ended up loyal to the village. The Otokage almost snagged her, whispered damned promises into her ear. She still respected him, but didn't know if she had the resolve to go thought what she just did with the Raikage once more without any rewards but what she seemed to get at the Otokages office... or was it a hide out? She had no idea really. "You know what? Never mind, forget I said anything. I'm going to get something to eat and finish up a few things before I start my training. I think I'm just nervious about my first bounty hunt as a Jounin in training with an escapee of the jail. I'll return victorious from this mission or not at all, Raikage."...you won't wake up from.

I'm one Nightmare...
Yuzuki closed the door of the Raikages office quietly before heading out towards the base of Raikages building. She knew that there would be negative consequences for her choice by the Otokage... but it was Seika that she was more worried for. She didn't know the last minute deal that the Otokage made with Seika, but she knew full well how hostle the Otokage was just within the short period of time that she had met him. She hoped that Seika was able to find a place to lay low for a while, and wasn't stupid enough to try and complete the mission herself. She'd rather not see the young girl get butchered because of this. Yuzuki would have the advantage if she was going to go threw with that mission, however... how could she pass up a Jounin rank... it was going to feel so good to rub that in the face of those like Kiko, who was going to be furious by the new developement. Yuzuki inhaled deeply and closed her eyes as soon as she stepped out into the bright sunlight. After a few moments she opened her eyes again and started to subtly look around for her four-legged companion who was skulking around. She hoped that Seika wouldn't be too furious with her, but then again she needed to have her best interest in mind and she needed to look out for herself. She would have an easier time here, especially with he new rank. Though she needed to kill or capture the man who previously approached her about a future position in his little group. She wondered if the Raikage knew that he was apart of an underground orginization, she assumed so, having tracker ninja stalking that man for a while now. She was not sure if the tracker ...you won't wake up from.
