Zain stayed quiet, thinking of wo he could take, unfortunly he had scarce knoweledge of many of the genin in the village, he knew of the puppet boy who's name escapes the monk, that one bipolar kid, geeze, he wasen't good with names... "Any genin that could help enter a village if it comes to sneaking in, I doubt though of the one kid err...the girlish boy kid...his name escaped my mind...but also no to the puppet boy...any other genin of the village I haven't caught their names or met them." He stroked his chin, the fail of a beard for a twenty year old. Maybe one of the genin here? He hadn't paid attention to anything else the kage spoke to them about because he was trying to remember those other genin's names.

As Michiko went into detail about her reports, Keiji gave the girl his full attention. The first mission given to her, concerning picking up garbage from the streets of Yukigakure, had sounded like a success. Six bags of garbage throughout the whole streets was not bad at all. Considering that a completed mission in his mind, he listened to the second report. The report of the second mission sounded a bit iffy to the Yukikage but he would ask her after she had finished her third report. The third and final mission report certainly sounded like a success to Keiji. When the girl finished her reports, the male nodded and took out the required papers to fill out. Before he began writing though he asked "Since you did not clean the hot spring water, am I to take that to mean there was no trash in the water and nothing below the surface?"

When Zain spoke up, Keiji directed his attention to him and continued to frown softly at his musings. So the other did not want Izaya or the Aburame boy to go along with this mission. The tamer girl was off doing whatever it was she was doing. The other girl was somewhere in the village but not immediately contactable. So that really just left the two genin right here in his office. A thought he did not like much since these two were to become Anbu, which meant they had to stay alive to complete their training. Still, this was part of necessary training, would they be able to handle it though? Sighing softly, Keiji replied "I can let you have just one of the, either Miss Michiko or Mister Hanzo. But you are to return them to this village, preferably alive."

That just left Hanzo, he had spotted glances of the male's facial expressions as he interjected and thought. He had tried to explain that his Nara clan jutsu would work just fine, on the off chance of hand to hand confrontation. Yet using such a jutsu was tricky work to say the least. Then finally, Hanzo came to realize the point Keiji had been trying to get across and chose an appropriate style from the list to fit into his fighting style. "If you really wish to take the mission to Kumo with Zain, then if Michiko does not wish to go, there will be no problem. Although I cannot stress enough to be careful. Despite how valuable the experience will be, it will mean nothing if you give Kumo a reason or chance to catch you."

XXXMichiko had expected as much when the Yukikage went into further questioning regarding the second mission. She might not have given the waters as much attention as they deserve but from what she was able to meagerly observe, the waters were fine. If needed though, Michiko would go back and clean them with the help of someone else. Surely Yukikage would have some sort of contraption that would be able to help halt the flow of water...'Maybe I should have considered that first...Too late now...' Letting loose a soft sigh, Michiko was ready to update her report and possibly receive some form of punishment or deduction for her lack of critical thinking when the older shinobi began to speak. Well, it came out for as vocalized musing but the results were the same. It would become rather apparent that he really looked forward to taking a genin with him to Kumo. 'Will a genin really be of any help? I would like a chance at that though...'

Gaze set towards the Yukikage, Michiko would watch somewhat anxiously for his response. His voice held traces of reluctance but in the end permission was granted for either one of them to be taken with that man to Kumo. 'All that's left is to see who is chosen...' Like how Michiko would wait for an opening to speak, so did Hanzo. Head turning to glance at the older youth as he began to speak, Michiko would listen attentively. Her gaze with shift between him and the Yukikage ever now and then but what stood out most was his inquiry to take on the Kumo mission. 'He sounds so sure...' Eyes still on Hanzo, Michiko would catch his glance and from teh look in his eyes Michiko could see him prompting her to take part as well. 'Hm...' The Yukikage's next warning hit Michiko hard and for once she saw just how delicate such a situation was. Should that man not be capable enough to protect the both of them who could possibly end up dead weight...'I would love such a chance but it'll be best if I bow out...no offense to either of us but we don't know what that man is capable of and should more shinobi then we expected where to hound us...I rather that man be able to focus on protecting just one genin instead of two...'

Returning her gaze to Keiji, Michiko would give the man a low bow before speaking. The bow was both an indication to her apology and respectful decline of the mission. "Such an opportunity is rare for a genin but I cannot fathom how one man can secure the safety of two fresh genin. By no means am I doubting anyone's ability but if this is as delicate of an espionage mission as I assume it is, I think it'll be best for one of us to remain. If Hanzo-san wishes strongly to go, I'll be more then happy to bow out." Taking in a deep breath, Michiko would then steel herself for the next bit which was more tricky. "As to your orders regarding the Hot Springs mission...I humbly apologize for my lack of insight at the time. Surely there would have been a way for us to seal off the flowing water while the rest is somehow drained. All I can say for now is that the water appeared to be visible and clean. If needed, I will head back there immediately to thoroughly check through the waters." Giving another low bow, Michiko was really uncertain of what to do next. Her take on the mission had been rather different that what was instructed and that was due to her lack of insight. 'This happened before too with an assignment...' Thinking back, Michiko had done something rather similar with a music assignment given to her by her music instructor. Michiko was just beginning to learn to write set pieces and instead of tackling the instructions head on when she hit a road block...she went for the alternative...'Lets just hope I'm let out easier then that time...' Not rising back up, Michiko would wait for Keiji to response first.


{@Haruhi: So yeah, sry bout that take on the second mission. When reading the front page of the thread if came to my attention that it was natural flowing water so I sorta blanked on how she would proceed to clean such waters. >< Totally thought of that closing off thing now...so yeah...playing it off with her age...}

It seemed Michiko was gracious enough to step aside from taking on a mission to Kumo. She was being smart for her reasons though. Zain was not exactly an espionage sort of shinobi, if he was going on his own, it might be too much to handle two genin at once. Especially if he got into trouble. Then she was truthful about the hot springs, it seemed as if she could have been more diligent in her work and thought to clean the water. Yet he was sure that she had not known better, this would be the one time he would let her slide. "I'm sure if the waters needed to be cleaned, the owner would have known to block off the water and let you get to work. I will pass the mission for you, but in the future be a little more diligent."

Writing down the advancement credit on Michiko's file, he wrote down the number of ryo on her voucher. "And it was mature and wise of you to bow out, Miss Michiko. Right now we have no idea what is going on with Kirigakure but they are on alert. That may or may not affect the security of their allies, Kumogakure. Plus Zain is not exactly a shinobi for espionage it seems. It would be best to just let him handle one genin. But I wouldn't worry, you'll be given the opportunity in the future to have the same experience. Now, this is your voucher, there is a designated area downstairs where you may turn it in to be paid. Then after that, feel free to go home and rest, you worked hard today."

Zain definitly was NOT a espionage shinobi, frankly he avoided fighting 99.9% of the time, his blades never became dull because of that! "Your all right, I'm not espionade type, I'm a samurai type so even if we do get caught I have more ways then one to defend me and a teammate. You'll learn in due time that no matter how many offensive justu you have, if you have no defensive then your doomed to fail." He smiled, he had a even amount of offensive bukijustu and defensive bukijustu, but Zain will use the defensive more than offensive if he had a teammate. "Anbu must learn to be specialized in more area's than one, offensive, defensive, tactical, it's so you don't meet so many dead ends on a mission." He took his time to talk to the two genin before nodding to the Yukikage that he could take the boy since the girl decided not to come.

Taking his hands out of his sleeves, he rested them across his chest with his arms, amazed that even without a anbu captain that the Yukikage would train two genin to become anbu. "From what I've learned from traveling is anbu are tough...these kids have a long road..." he noted, it should be easy to get into a village if the kid was a nara, Zain was some-what tactical, but a nara would be excellent. "I plan to leave after i eat something and I should train in my elements....not exactly done anything with them one bit! But do remember Yukikage(he turned from talking to the boy), I have trained in my states, I have the healing state incase the boy does get hurt, and I have state of control...they'll be useful incase we do get caught and we'll leave our headbands here so no one in Kumo will know what village were from." He gave the yukikage a thumbs up.

The other was good for fighting, no doubt about that. His advice about offensive and defensive jutsu was sound, although what the other was saying about the Anbu was unnecessary. "Obviously Zain... yet espionage is just as important. Especially if one wishes to gain information and not let on who they are." They did not need that sort of trouble right now when they were so short on shinobi. As for the matter of an Anbu captain, they may not have had one now, but one would be chosen. Depending on which of these two showed the ability and leadership to take such an important role. It seemed that Zain had plans on the off chance things turned violent and they would leave behind their headbands. Nodding Zain replied "Alright."

Looking back to Hanzo, the Yukikage nodded and said "You may go on your way, Mister Hanzo."

Zain nodded to the Yukikage, esionage was important...but not to Zain. "It's not entirly important to me but I am a Monk; not much a shinobi." He bowed a bit, planning to leave also for training. "I will be going also, see you." He did not care for a reply as he left.

A girl with long white hair walked slowly to the Yukikage's office, as she was in no immediate hurry at the moment. Her gaze shifted around the building, taking in the appearance of strangers that she was most likely to forget in a short while. After a few moments, her footsteps slowly became quicker since she did not want to get lost in the large building. Just as she was sure she was getting near her destination, her gaze remained briefly on two strangers who appeared to be shinobi. One seemed to be a monk, while the other was not. Until now, she was not aware of there being a monk in Yuki. She looked away and cast her gaze ahead to where a set of doors lay and contemplated whether or not these were the right doors, but then recalled that those two had come out of that room. When Shimiru reached the them, she extended her arm, knocked softly thrice, and spoke softly, "Excuse me, Shimiru Yuki requesting to speak to the Yukikage." before awaiting a reply from the other side.

Maybe Hanzo would learn something from the Monk and perhaps Keiji was a worrier. Yet being cautious helped to keep people alive sometimes, nothing wrong with that. Nodding his head, he said "Good luck." Then watched as they left his office, leaving just him and Michiko.

It was not just the two of the for long though, since someone had approached from outside. The chakra pool was that of a genin, someone more adept at weaving it into ninjutsu or genjutsu. Yet what was familiar was the bloodline, Hyouton. Hearing her nock and speak, Keiji spoke up and said "Enter, Miss Shiniru."

 

[pluit coronam]

It seemed she did have to wait long, since almost immediately following the knocks was a reply. Shimiru momentarily reflected on herself, wondering if she was nervous. She opened the door and stepped inside, her light blue eyes shifting to another girl near her, apparently another genin, before landing on a man which was obviously the Kage. 'No,' she decided. She was not nervous, for she did not have a proper reason to be. And unless she had a proper reason for something, she would not waste energy in doing it. "I have recently graduated. I am here for my headband, and a few ninjutsu scrolls, if it is alright with you. Preferably suiton and hyouton." She bowed slightly before speaking to show that she respected him, and gazed at him, slightly curious as to what kind of person the Yukikage was. For a brief moment she contemplated asking about bukijutsu, but immediately decided to leave that for later, in some place like the dojo. She also allowed the thought of missions to cross her mind, but planned to leave that for after training.

As expected, the girl was newly graduated from the academy and wanting her headband. Nodding his head, Keiji reached into the desk drawer where he kept the headbands and pulled them out. "Since you seem ready to get to work, I'll merely say congratulations on graduating from the academy. Suiton scrolls you can find at the academy, as for your bloodline." Reaching into another desk drawer, he pulled out the scroll and handed it over, along with her headband. "There. I suppose you'll want to get right to training."
