Welcome to Gaia! ::

"That you, the presiding 'lord' of this land, would be so unaware of the lands you govern is appalling young Luo? Is it so hard to fufil your duties as a young,, inexperinced Mizukage? Or must you completely rely and put your faith in your subordinates and allies because you are unable to trust yourself with the job,"

His words were careful and unleashed once the genin and Fordon had left the building. The only indication he gave to Fordon's existance was an imperceptible nod but he turned his attention to the tea LT had given to him. It was warm and the heat cycled through his body fast enough to bring color to his pale cheeks.

"My assistant? She is quite fine, I've allowed her a vacation to visit her family for the time being," said Tensai but even to the most skilled observer possessing doujutsu of the highest caliber would be unable to detect the lie without reading Tensai's mind. He had in fact been recovering from a severe heart failure during the past weeks and his assistant was traveling distant lands searching for remedies. "But on the same note It is nice to see youre relifer at your own assistants return. Fordon seems to have forgone his mask and bears those vile scars of his with...what is it? Pride? Accomplishment?"

Tensai held no aversion to anyone in the Mist Village, secretly he was found of a VERY select few but his goals were to make Kirigakure more than just a physical powerhouse. Mental strength was indeed important to the shinobi world but his teachings were so in depth that they opened new branches of power to his students. Under widespread tutelage Kirigakure would not only be a powerful nation but have masterful diplomats capable of forging allies and threading intricate plots to affect the world in more ways than other shinobi were capable of knowing.

Kanzuki sighed and looked at the mission board," Well....guess I'll go pick up garbage then..." he muttered to himself as he walked off with trashbag in hand, ready for one of the most boring missions a shinobi could ever be sent on.

((Man are Tensai and Luo a fun pair to RP with.))

Tensai unleashed a short burst of demeaning, cruel laughter at Luo, tossing his head backwards as his shoulders heaved at the Mizukages words. Luo's ignorance was not apalling to the sannin but instead understandable. Tensai was more than on 'good terms' with the daimyo, the two were actually good friends and in the past met often to discuss politics.

"You believe the Daimyo fears a land of shinobi? Child you know very little about anything outside the shinobi world! The Daimyo tolerates and uses the shinobi for protection and a method of executing his will for a relatively cheap price. His guards are composed of shinobi far more powerful than some of the Kage's combined! His alliances with foreign governments can call upon a swarm of warriors fierce enough to severly damage the ranks of the entire shinobi world. Make no mistake Luo the major daimyo fear nothing and are well prepared for any rebellion on our part. After the Tailed-Beasts incident we are all lucky that they did not wrest some control from the Kages!"

Tensai's cool smile split across his pale features once more and he flicked strands of hair from his handsome visage. The smile didn't waver once Luo's grasped the bag which held the cat and once the animal was tossed in his direction Tensai found it nessecary to at least dodge the improvised projectile but instead clasped the hilt of one katana in a reverse grip.

A shimmering crescent lit the room as the secret ninjatou was unsheathed and swiped through the air in a neat arc to cut into the bag and miraculously leave the cat unharmed. The small animal leapt from the opening in it's prison and charged over Tensai's head though not before the sannin had resheathed the weapon in record time. The cat bounded from the office and down the stairs, hissing at passerbye's as it fled. The sannin was not worried by the cat's exit for as a genin he had sought that same cat's mother and would find it easy to recapture the beast.

"Oops~!"

Defiance for the demeaning task but at the same time the mission was titled as B-rank, granting Tensai simple pay only to deliver an animal to the daimyo. At the words of being assigned a squad the sage of heavenly riches sighed and imagined a group of eager genin jumping at his heels. He DIDNT seem amused at the prospect but he soon turned his back to Luo while the Mizukage was finishing his final words. He didn't bother to address Luo's last words but instead added his own quip.

"By the way you should really talk louder, isn't that something even children outgrow?" There was no time to respond to the words, Tensai's body melted into a faint shadow before reappearing just outside the Mizukage's office in clear sight from the window. On his shoulders was the calmed cat glaring shiftily at any passerbye's who came closed. Abnormally the mist soon enclosed Tensai's body but would burst outward harmlessly, marking another high speed movement that transported him past the gates.

At this time a piece of papaer drifted from Luo's ceiling and would fall to the Mizukage's lap. In the clear and prescice cript of Tensai is read;

Luo:1
Tensai: Incalculable

Keep up the good work, already your doing better than most young lord~

During the war between his superiors, LT's face turned so red he slowly and quietly pulled his ANBU mask over his face. LT and the ANBU agent next to him slowly turned to look at each other. The ANBU shrugged and slowly melted away into the shadows, with either fear or embarrassment, possibly both. Its not like this is the first time this has ever happened in front of LT though, but he could never admit that it was easy to witness. But the Mizukage and the Sannin seem to kind of forget about the Jounin Commander/ANBU Captain when LT was present. But both of the superiors knew that for his safety he would never utter a word about this to anyone. For outsiders might think of this as a weak moment, and that Mist is having internal arguments, but in truth, these wars between the two powerhouses were mostly healthy debates. None the less, LT sat still while they 'talked'. Rigged and Silent, the most faithful servant his people could ask for.

LT let out a small laugh, "You know me so well. I havent seen you that fired up since Zane." LT removed his mask, and looked around to make sure that the Sannin was really gone. "I cant believe he commented on my coffee being unhealthy, but he just has to find something to pick on doesn't he." LT turned in his chair to start another pot of his delicious brew. "I wish we could talk about something different but unfortunately we must talk about work. We need to assign the students to squads and figure out what we are going to do with the genin too. Also, the Hokage sends his regards and might possibly may be visiting off in the future."

"No I dont think the Hokage found his missing Genin yet, and i also hear that one of the kages was assassinated by a genin as well, though that is just a rumor im hearing from my ANBU, and you can never trust rumors. So what were you and the Sannin fighting about this time, it seemed more heated than usual. I can be sitting hear, listening to you two the entire time and still not know what it was about." LT finished brewing the grains and poured the black liquid into a mug and handed it to the Mizukage. He leaned over the desk to view some of the profiles laying on the desk. Afterwards LT returned to his seat asking, "So about the squads, Are you going to decide who gets what when, or are you going to decide after the genin exams? Do you know where my squad is at? OR am I even still in-charge of them any more? Sorry for some many questions, i just feel like something big is coming and we dont have enough time for it."
