West of the village, over the river and through the woods, lie crossroads in a clearing in the forest. The trails lead off in various directions, heading to other places in the world and other nations and villages. There are no signs and each trail has so many branching trails coming off of them that traveling can become confusing and difficult without previous knowledge of how to get somewhere.

 -~Z~- It was nearly midnight when Death came wandering down a path towards the village. He stopped in the intersection of the crossroads and looked down the path which lead to his town. "It's finally time to finish what I started," he said to himself. "I just wish there were more survivors, but it's too late to change anything now.
Reflecting for a minute on the recent past, Death looked up through the stars towards to supposed heaven that was said to exist. The countless souls of the dead had been sent that way and on to whatever came after, if anything at all. Up above... it was a place many of Death's close companions had gone to but also a place where he knew he himself would never reach.
"Well, I'd better get ready for this mission," decided Death. Closing his eyes, Death focused his energy and teleported his anbu mask and cloak to himself. He opened his eyes quick and grabbed them before they fell on the ground. Death put on the cloak but left the hood down and his mask off. Then, he waited....-~T~-

 -~Z~- As the two ninja approached, Death was proud to see them in their cloaks and masks. This was a sign that the village was ready to become official, there was an elite squad produced solely from the village and they were about to expand with some older and very strong ninja. Things were heading towards greatness, this being one of the largest steps.
Checking to make sure that his scarf was completely hidden under his cloak, as it would quickly give away his identity if anyone were to see it, Death pulled the hood up and over his head. Before placing the mask on his face, Death reached under his cloak and produced a food pill for energy. He swallowed it quickly and situated his grinning Anbu mask over his face, now completely hidden under the uniform.
From under the mask, which was surprisingly easy to speak through, Death commented, "You showed up right on time, I'm glad to see you didn't burn down the village while I was out." He tried to joke lightly since he hated for anything to be too serious, there always had to be a little fun when Death was around. "There are a few things we should go over before we leave," Death began instructing, now back to being serious. "Do not reveal your identities, do not get captured, and don't get yourself killed. Besides that, if I say 'Delta' we will take a close formation with all our backs together as a defensive measure. Also, to protect our identities we should all adopt codenames; I have chosen Zetsumei, how about you two?"
((I assume you both know the codename for the village. I just don't want to disclose it because then other people will know it, too.))-~T~-

  Shadow's EdgeNameless Village | ANBU  Kenji's demeanor was bound to drastically change in the next few minutes as his brain was switched from a normal mode to mission mode. It was almost automatic, occurring from within him as an ingrained action from the many assignments he had been given back at home. His mind would now be focused on the mission and it's objective over all else. Luckily however, for him, part of his mission was not to be captured or killed, and as it was Haruko's mission as well, he was to make sure she was not captured or killed. Before Kenji would adopt a completely stoic nature, he smirked slightly, realizing that Haruko's earlier prediction had in fact been correct... that they would not be allowed to leave one behind.
Nodding to Death-sensei as he explained everything they needed to know, he stored the codeword in his memory as well as the battle formation as he was ready to finally get under way. "Shadow's Edge"... but if you desire it Zetsumei, you may shorten it to either 'Shadow' or 'Edge', or if none are appropriate, assign me a code name." the words were cold and emotionless as Kenji tried hard to become the stoic figure the picture of his mask created as he waited for a response and for a signal to begin the mission.
"I will protect the village..."

Eagle EyesNameless Village | ANBU  Upon Kenji's arrival, Haruko remain unmoving and still as she waited for Death's response. Watching the area with cautious eyes, Haruko took the time to scan the area while she continued to patiently await Death's words. When she saw Death finally finished with adjusting his attire, Haruko returned her focus to Death. At his comment, Haruko smiled slightly from behind the mask knowing that what's happening now is a serious thing and can't be taken lightly. 'It's so different from a regular mission, the need to act indifferent to everything...it's such a difficult obstacle that I know I must surpass...'
Haruko was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Death speak again, this time to debrief them on several things before they truely being their mission. Nodding her head in understanding, Haruko made sure to take careful noting of thier defensive position's codeword as well as Death's codename. Hearing Kenji speak up from beside her, Haruko inwardly flinched at his cold and emotionless tone. Once he finished, Haruko took a deep breath before speaking in a soft, stonic tone. "I will be going by 'Eagle Eyes' Zetsumei-san. And just like what Shadow's Edge said, feel free to assign a different codename if you deem this inappropriate."
"I serve the village..."

-~Z~- "Alright, I like both of your codenames," approved Zetsumei. "From now until we return, that's what I'll call you guys." Stepping closer to both Eagle Eyes and Shadow's Edge, Zetsumei placed one hand on one of Eagle's shoulders and the other hand on one of Shadow's shoulders.
As he gathered chakra, Zetsumei informed his companions, "We'll be traveling to the village my way and then be returning by foot. Before we leave, just remember that these ninjas are stronger than you and one or two may even be stronger than me. Fortunately, they are our friends so they shouldn't attack us... just don't provoke them." Zetsumei let his words sink in a little while he finished gathering the chakra he needed for the trip.
He then announced, "We're leaving now so please suppress any resistance to make this as easy for me as possible." Squinting under the mask, Zetsumei commentated, "And here... we... go!" And with that, the three cloaked ninja simply vanished from where they were standing, not even a chakra trail left behind to tell where they went.

Eagle EyesNameless Village | ANBU While Death continued to inform the two of them about the situation, Haruko remained as composed as possible but her mind was already wheeling around all the stuff that Death's been mentioning. 'Wow, to think we'll finally be able to meet some ninjas more power then us and possible stronger then Death-sensei as well. It's a bit nerve-wracking to think we were given a mission to help escot such experienced ninjas...' Hearing about their way of travel, Haruko grew a bit nervous but trusted Death with his actions and mentally prepared herself for what was to come. Taking another deep breath through the mask, Haruko relaxed both her mind and body as she prepared for Death's mode of transportation. 'Here we go...'

Shadow's EdgeNameless Village | ANBU Nodding silently, Shadow's Edge wondered what kind of travel Zetsumei would use, recalling all that he knew of him from their fight, but it would turn out to be useless. He was curious however as to who these stronger Shinobi would be, but had no intention of testing them after being instructed not to provoke. On being told not to resist, he simply focused on his sensei's mask until suddenly they were all gone from the area, a strange sensation filling his body as they departed.
