Suiton| Ina Hassei Ryouken No Jutsu l Fire l Mizukage l Wind l Shark Summoner  Nodding back to Yamatano, Luo didn't waste any time. "Good to see you back Yamatano. I have someone here I want you to look into for me who wishes to become a member of our village. His name is Zdura, I have all the information he gave me here and I'll give it to you as well. For visual information on him, go to Kiri apartments and ask them to review the security tape from the last twenty minutes, you should be able to see a man with a mask quite like yours and LT's getting new keys and such to an apartment. Create an information card on him as you gain more information if you do. I want you to search the great five starting in Konoha, see if he is any bingo books or if he was once a citizen of the other villages. From Konoha proceed to Suna, then Kumo, and finally Iwa if you deem it necessary."

Tracking down a possible hostile. A round trip of......the world? Yamatano responded "Lord Mizukage, I will fulfill my duty to-" "WOOHOO! ROAD TRIP!" Kuro exclaimed as he leapt out of Yamatano's pocket like a coiled spring, landing on the edge of the mizukage's desk. "All right! We're gonna get the best dango in the world at konoha! And those sexy pit vipers that live in the suna sands, gr-r-rowl! And then theres the-Auk!" Kuro was abruptly cut off as Yamatano's hand clenched around his tiny throat. Embarrassed, Yamatano asked "Are there any precautions I should take?"

Suiton| Ina Hassei Ryouken No Jutsu l Fire l Mizukage l Wind l Shark Summoner Listening to the expected response from Yamatano, Luo found him to be cut off by his own summon. As always, Kuro's reaction was uninvited and exaggerated. It was then that Yamatano subdued him and inquired about precautions. "Simply pack what you need, and be on your guard. Speak to the other kage's to get any information they may have on him, other than that simply keep your eyes peeled for any clues. Now, I expect the new head of the Oinin to take this mission quite seriously, so I highly advise against wasting time. "
Luo smiled lightly now, having revealed his decision to make Yamatano head of the hunter-nin. He'd grown quite a bit in the years that past, and his expertise of the hunter arts was good. Luo believed that if he gave Yamatano the position, he would rise to the occasion and tap into the potential Luo saw laying dormant.

Kirigakure no Sato || Suiton || Hatake Bloodline || White Chakra Manipulation|| Snake SummonerSpeed Shinobi Capabilities || Battle Support Specialist || Summoning Specialist“Those who dare bring harm to my friends, my village, and my way of life…”xxxxYamatano was sure he was losing his hearing. For a minute, he thought the Mizukage had said 'New Oinin Captain.' Boy, would that have been funny! Yamatano was about to ask the Mizukage to repeat himself until he noticed something: Kuro wasn't talking. No snappy comments, no demands for pancakes, just..........silence. Blissful silence. Yamatano noticed the snake's mouth hanging open, his jaw so low it would have hit the floor if he had been laying on one.
"O-oinin.......Captain?" Yamatano asked aloud, still unable to believe it. Had he truly advanced that far? But Yamatano was a Chuunin, how could he be the next in line for Captain of the Oinin? It was true that the old captain had recently died, but........Yamatano couldn't even fathom the words, his mind barely able to process what was going on. Instead, he made a hasty bow, muttering "At once, Lord Mizukage-Dono", and ran out of the office, afraid he would make a complete fool of himself if he said anything further.

Matsuya lazed his towards the tower through the throng of people in the streets. He eased the main doors open and yawned as he walked inside to building. If he was going to be honest, which he would be, he'd taken the past few weeks off and had opted to fully recover from the beating Luo had given him. Matsuya sighed as he stared at the flight of stairs in front of him. He muttered, "I hate stairs." and started his way up towards Luo's office. Matsuya was, and always would be, the laziest of the Naras.
When he finally reached the door, Matsuya knocked a single time and waited for a response. He stuck his hands in his pockets and began to whistle some indistinct tune. He thoughts began to wander to the notebook resting in the breast pocket of his loose half-robe. That small book could be enough to entitle him to a death sentence in some villages, but he hadn't died yet. And that was always a good thing.

Tares nodded as if he was a proud father or older sibling when Yama entered the office and recieved his orders, LT was rather surprised when Luo let the boy on with "Oinin Captain". He new that Yama was a superb ninja but even for him the seat of a Oinin Captain were very large shoes to fill. Not saying that LT had any doubt in Yama's abilities, just worried would be the correct term.
LT made his way back to his seat and started working on his stack of paper work. Luo's job was for the general well fare of his village, but the smaller finer points to be handled such a shifts for guard duty, inspections of equipment, the progression of squad training and unit cohession, application to ANBU, small town disputes, and most importantly the protection detail of the Lord Mizukage fell under LT's realm of paper work. LT looked up at the short and lazy knock of some one wheezing for going up too many stairs xp , LT didnt mean to take away Luo's office privacy, so he would wait for Luo to invite the man in.

Suiton| Ina Hassei Ryouken No Jutsu l Fire l Mizukage l Wind l Shark Summoner Finishing his coffee at last, Luo set the delicate porcelain cup down as he heard a knock at his door. A rather lazy knock that was so slow on the release, Luo could hear the knuckles literally dragging off of the oak before the next abrupt knock. Yes, it was Matsuya who seemed to have disappeared for a while the past few weeks. Luo never did get to finish with him since he was reverse summoned, and pondered if his schedule would allow him some free time off that day.
"Yes Matsuya, come in."

Matsuya smirked as he heard Luo's voice and pushed the door open. He gave both Luo and LT a small nod as he entered and took a seat in front of the desk. "Let me start by saying that I'm sorry for disappearing for the past few days. I had to let my body heal after that little predicament you put me in, Luo." Matsuya rubbed a hand on his neck and smiled again. "So, you have anything you need done? I've been dying to get out and about again. Life's not the same when you don't have a challenge every day."
That last part wasn't intended to be sarcastic. Matsuya really did miss being out on missions and training students. He wondered sometimes if his leaving the position of Hokage had been the right choice, but then he remembered that he was with his brothers again and there was no doubt in his mind.

テキスト翻訳
Suiton| Ina Hassei Ryouken No Jutsu l Fire l Mizukage l Wind l Shark Summoner Luo shrugged slightly at Matsuya's apology, which seemed to place Luo at blame for his absence. Luo personally blamed the fact that instead of stretching, Matsuya simply jumped in. However, he didn't mention it seeing the point as rather irrelevant for the time being. He did however understand Matsuya's need to go do something. Like Matsuya, Luo didn't necessarily feel challenged in his everyday life either, and was quite often bored with himself. It was then that Luo had an idea to solve both of their problems. He grinned a little, not too much to show more intent than he meant to however. It was a habit Luo had since back when he trained Matsuya, using his squad as a means to test his abilities or techniques he was developing. Although they thought otherwise, Luo remained firm in believing they were as good as they were because of what they had to put up with having Luo as a sensei for that short period.
Now, it was all a matter of convincing Matsuya once again.
"Actually Mat-san, you can help me with something. I have a few techniques that I developed that need to be graded and evaluated by a second party. I'm personally unsure of how to classify the techniques, and if they should even be released into the public. Someone with your expertise in ninjutsu and our past training history, I'd figure you would be the best candidate to help me test them. Of course I wouldn't hold it against you if you wanted to test some techniques of your own during the grading session." Luo tried to word it as best as he can, attempting to avoid calling it what it really was. When he was smaller, it tended to work on Matsuya. He was always up for a challenge, and usually even if he said no Luo could goad him into doing it by sighing and pondering aloud if he even knew anyone brave or strong enough to withstand his training. It worked surprisingly well on the boy, and often times Luo had to turn away to hide his smirk. Still, he remembered those training sessions fondly. Matsuya grew stronger than even he expected during those times before he left for the rainforest.

Matsuya chuckled and ran a hand through his silver mess off curls. It had been a long time since he had cut it to fit into a long dead cover. When he looked up, there was a spark in Matsuya's eye. He had put together what Luo was trying to say almost as soon as he had explained the situation. "Luo, nothing would please me more than swapping a few techniques with you. There is, however, one little problem. When I left Konoha, I gave up their style of Taijutsu out of respect. I couldn't use the techniques I learned there to defend them to fight them if the time arose." Matsuya stood and looked out one of the side windows. He twisted his hands behind his back both out of nervousness and excitement. "As you can guess, that will put me at quite the disadvantage against you, a master of Kirigakure's weapon styles." Matsuya spun on his heels and smiled at his friend. He'd thought of something to make this bout a little more interesting. "How about this: if I win in our exchange, you will allow me to learn something of the Mist's sword styles." As he said this, Matsuya rested his hand on the pommel of his katana, Shadow Kira. The old sword had long since fallen out of use, but it was still as sharp as the day it was forged for Matsuya's coronation as Hokage. Matsuya had also left Luo's side of the bet out on purpose. He was long past telling people what to expect out of their victories. Luo could choose his prize, just like in the old days. But, hopefully, this time it wouldn't end in Matsuya cleaning some back alley behind old Nikko's Ramen Shop.

テキスト翻訳
Suiton| Ina Hassei Ryouken No Jutsu l Fire l Mizukage l Wind l Shark Summoner "Well actually, that's kind of what this is all about. I've been developing an entirely new type of weapon style, one that incorporates ninjutsu in a fascinating way. I'm not going to be using the Kiri sword styles for this exercise, so you can rest easy my friend. I'll simply be testing these new techniques out in conjunction with normal ninjutsu, and swordplay as needed. So, I suppose I'll allow it for both of us to use our special katana." Luo had two katana that were special to him, however he tossed the idea around of simply limiting himself to one of them for the match. The weapon techniques he was developing were not by any means normal, and he had not ran into anyone with the same skill. Some could say Luo was having another creative spark, and inventing another method of weapon fighting.
This new one, Luo was indeed interested in testing out, especially on someone as difficult to keep focus on in battle as a Nara. People often forgot that apart from the katana, Luo was a master of the senbon, or throwing needles. He had only four kunai on him and four shuriken, the rest of his projectiles were senbon. The long thin needles were excellent for assassinations, especially when mist was used for cover. With these weapon techniques, Luo expanded on his mastery of the senbon. He gathered what he had done could be branched out to other ninja tools as well. He was currently experimenting with steel wire, but concluded kunai and shuriken could be manipulated in a similar manner just as well. He would just have to see however.
"Fine, I will teach you something from the infinite one sword style. Technically speaking, I'm surprised as the Hokage you weren't given a copy of the style to learn since it was created as a peace treaty between our two villages." As Luo sat, he thought hard about what he wanted. However, he couldn't really think of anything. He pondered over so many things, but no idea really stuck with him. Until at least, he finally found something of interest to wager. "If I win, I simply want you to participate in a mission I have planned for the future. Don't worry, it wasn't created by me but it does need to be done." The request seemed simple enough, and to Luo it was simple. Just a simple mission. One of course, that Matsuya probably wouldn't enjoy so much.

Matsuya quickly ran the situation through his head. If he were to win, he would learn a new and powerful style that he should have learned years ago. If he lost, however, he would do this mission Luo spoke of. Luo had said it wasn't a mission that he'd created and that eased Matsuya's mind a little. Another thing that comforted him was that Luo had agreed to not use any of the established weapon styles. Without those in Luo's arsenal, Matsuya might just have a chance. "Fine, we have a deal!" An boyish grin had spread across Matsuya's face. He clapped his hands together a single time and looked out the window again.
Matsuya had no excuse for not learning the Infinite One Sword style. At the time of his holding office, there was much to be done and many students to train. He had wanted to learn the style to better protect his village, if not out of simple nostalgia. So, Luo, I now have one questions: where will this little match of power of ours take place?" Matsuya knew that the office's roof was big and flat enough for a few of his tricks, but he wasn't sure if his friend had something else in mind. Matsuya's mind had started it's process of running multiple scenarios for the fight ahead. But he needed more data on the situation to develop a fool-proof scenario that might assure his victory.

Suiton| Ina Hassei Ryouken No Jutsu l Fire l Mizukage l Wind l Shark Summoner Smiling the moment he heard Matsuya agree, Luo nodded and began to stack papers together. When he asked where their bout would take place, Luo wagged a finger. "It isn't a match of power, I simply need to test out a few jutsu and get my blood pumping. As for the location, we'll hold it at the bloody prairie. Sound good to you Matsuya?" In earnest, Luo was elated to have the opportunity to get out of the office and do something physically constructive. He always wondered how sitting behind a desk was the life of the supposed strongest ninja in the village. Shouldn't he be honing his skills, or at the very least making sure they don't wane with time? Putting the papers aside, Luo looked at Kaizen. "Kaizen, you've been here for quite a while however you have not requested anything. Is something on your mind?"

Tares Demascus
Infinite One Master| Mist ANBU Captain| Jonin Commander| Lightning Terror |Bloody Mist
Tares gave Matsuya a 'whatsup' nod as he entered the office and explained his disappearance for the last few days, it still amazed LT that Luo could take on almost every Ninja in the village at once during the arena fight and still come out on top without a scratch. LT was just about to pick up Luo's finished coffee cup when Luo explained his own private invention he had been working on. That thought ran chills up LT's spine as he paused for a milisecond, 'How had he not known about this new style. Had the ANBU guards failed in their duty to know all and see all in this village? Were they sworn to secrecy by the Mizukage above LT's knowing?' It was no matter now as LT found out already, but that piece of information will keep a thought in the back of LT's head for the next few sleepless nights of 'what else is Luo hiding from us'. Granted every man is entitled to their privacy, but with the Mizukages life on the line, privacy had to be restricted for the sake of security.
As LT put the mizukages cup of coffee in the sink he also poured a fresh mug for Matsuya and handed him the cup. LT continued to listen as both the former hokage and current mizukage made a deal. "You know, with both of you grinning so much, a man like me can get kinda nervous. Just dont break anything too important during your match. And if your going to be learning the Infinite One, then i better get the forges ready." LT quirked a small smile underneathe his mask as he leaned against the counter top with his arms folded, "and speaking of missions, what do you want Zdura and I to do?"

Matsuya took the cup of coffee from LT and took a small sip. This was one of the small joys he loved about living in Kirigakure again. "Thanks, LT." He settled back into the seat in front of Luo's desk and continued sipping his coffee. He nodded to Luo and smirked. "The bloody prairie it is then." Matsuya would wait for Luo to lead him to the prairie. In the mean time, he would continue to run scenarios through his head. There was another thing biting at the back of Matsuya's mind: this mission Luo was speaking of. Matsuya was the kind of person who needed to know everything about an event so that he could spend some time thinking over ways to perform at peak efficiency. Matsuya shifted his coffee cup to his right hand and withdrew his notebook from his robe. He set it on his knee and began to finger through it, looking for some kind of lead that could be profitable. This was the miracle of a Nara's mind: they could have many things on their mind and still look for ways to make their lives a little easier.
