”Ah, Kusakage, so glad that you can join me today!”

As his voice seeped across the room itself, I could only respond to him with the fakest of grins, although it was excecuted in such a believable manner that he wouldn’t have known otherwise. It was either he was oblivious to what was happening, or he was trying to be a snivelling, cowardly excuse for a man beneath my eyes of blue. Figuring it was the latter, I’d choose to go on with his little charade, although it wouldn’t prevent me from bringing up the truth about the relationship between Kusagkure and this little patch of a village. Taking a moments breath before reply to him, I’d then cross my arms, although if required, to be able to shift in to a battle position, it wouldn’t require barely any effort whatsoever. ”Thank you- I was very much hoping if we could discuss some matters about our villages.” I’d say with the same angelic tone which I commonly used when trying to seem not innocent but at least, less threatening than the voice within my mind which was currently urging to let loose my judgement on this guy and his shoddy excuse for a village. But- This was a time for professionalism, and there was no doubt that I was capable of it.

As he’d continue to operate on the man, all eyes were very much on him, mentally putting down note to tell him at the end in order to figure out how exactly he could better his progress. Of course, they weren’t going to take on just anyone who thought they could become a medic, the Kusagakure shinobi who delved in to medical techniques were usually ones of quite high standard, and that high standard was expected to be continued within the walls of the hospital, especially now that a Kusakage of whom had such strong ties to the medical world had been called. It was a reputation that Kusa could hold up in order to boost their abilities- and surely this guy would become one of the stock. During the first shinobi war, despite having talented medics, there hadn’t been enough in order to save and heal all of the soldiers who came in to the village as the state of it deteriorated, and so they attempted to help prevent such problems from ever rearing its ugly head to the world once more by stocking up on medics and working on the defence and security that the village had in order to keep its citizens safe. Never again would it be caught off guard.

”Me? Your-”

A pause. If it hadn’t been for the fact that she’d been facing his back, then he’d have surely noticed the slightly awkward look on her face;

”..--Your question is very interesting.”

..Saved. of course, she had almost, almost revealed something which she had shouldn’t or said something that perhaps would have made no sense to him, but quickly saving the situation she’d managed to go forth and change it to her ideal, making the awkwardness from before fade away as if it had never even happened. ”..I was quite a sickly child in my youth so I was unable to perform taijutsu, and instead my parents decided to send me here and teach me medical ninjutsu. Of course- I became better, but I’m thankful for the training I received- Else I wouldn’t have this job now.” Of course- if it wasn’t for the job then surely she wouldn’t have been staring at the figure in front of her right now- Surely it would be some stranger. It was such a tense situation- Of course, as he continued to heal, she’d keep watching him, trying to pick small parts out of his features- But he wouldn’t be able to see this, especially as the red-headed medic then went over to him in order to have a peek at the patient that he’d been healing.

”A-are you done?”

She’d ask as you’d speak comforting words to the man that he’d been trying to patch up. Of course, a trick question, with her quick, professional gaze she was able to easily tell whether you were done or not, and yet at the same time, she’d ask, to make sure that you knew. There were no room for mistakes here, and if he ended the procedure when there was still work to be done.. then it would perhaps land him in a little spot of trouble- Which would then be marked for his judging later on. What would you do next? Were you done.. Or had you still a bit to do?

Trees, hundreds upon hundreds of trees passed us as the calm walk soon turned in to a sprint, my own form bounding through the woodland and jumping on all of the branches that I could pick out from our high speed, moving from treetop to treetop. Of course, as I knew that I was fast, during the journey, I’d constantly tilt my head backwards each couple of minutes to make sure that the rest understood exactly where I was going. Of course, all in all I expected only a fool would be able to loose track of me due to the beautiful ocean of blonde hair that sweeped behind me, being carried elegantly by the breeze as we’d move through the trees, strangely enough not getting any leaves or branches stuck in it. Perhaps it was just the fact that nature was on my side, or I was just lucky- I didn’t know, but I just hoped that they could keep up, because we needed to make our journey swift so that we had enough time to take care of the leader in Kaju no Sato and of course enough sunlight to face whatever problems we might face in the village itself from its so-called military, or the citizens.

After forty-one minutes of travelling..

And we were almost here. Being currently on an aerial spot, I having chosen to do so in order to get a better look at the village itself, upon looking down using the tracker I owned, I’d try to get a better look at it, having soon come to a halt in my running and now crouched down a little bit as we stood on the hill itself not long away from it- All we’d need to do is descend and we’d practically be there, but we needed to get a better look at the place itself and the build of the town so that any possible exits could be remembered if we did get in to trouble and needed to make a hasty leave. Of course, I didn’t want to doubt the abilities of the three I had with me, although then again I didn’t want to misjudge exactly what we were dealing with here. I was told that only a few of their shinobi bore threat and the others were quite weak, but in comparison with other smaller villages alike themselves, they were surely the best around- But they’d never met us before, that’s for sure. Looking down at the scene, the village seemed so underdeveloped that there wasn’t even gates let a lone a wall to protect it, which simply made me wonder; ”They don’t even have a village gate- Why the fuck are they trying to take us on?” I’d say, speaking my annoyance aloud- But I was right.

Sighing and shaking my head, assuring that the other three were behind me, I’d then nod to them and put the tracker back in my pocket, as I signalled our leave and entry to the village itself. From what I could see, I’d spotted the building that we were required to visit- The largest there at a height of four stories, which had quite a decorative roof, only fitting for a leader. Of course this was only a guess, but seeing as the rest of the buildings weren’t exactly anything spectacular, I figured that the most elaborate would have surely been the one the leader was housed in. Getting to my feet and then making my way down the soft steepness of the hill itself, it wouldn’t take long to get to the base, and we’d be back in forestry again, trees clouding our vision but my memory so clear of where exactly the building was. And I’d keep looking back. Of course, they were here to protect me and aid in situations where Kusagakure would need to make its mark known on this village, but it didn’t mean that I wasn’t willing to protect them if the time came to that. They were only young, of course, not that that judged their ability.

And now- Gliding across the forestry, it would soon clear up as buildings would come in to view past the trunks, and we’d make ourselves apparent. Samehada on my back, and a range of swords positioned on either hip whilst my secondary weapons stayed close in my pockets and my air vents very much active in either arm, I’d then bask myself in sunlight once more, the shadows having past removed the golden gleam that my hair tended to get in the sun. Looking behind me once more, I’d then speak the words; ”Follow me, and remember what I said.” with a nod to each of them, I’d then keep on walking, my feet soon hitting some kind of earthen path as we began to weave through the village. Finding the building wasn’t that hard as at my height, I especially was able to see the grand, almost baroque like building from where I was, great glass panes decorating its top which surely allowed whatever leader was within it to look down on his village. And so I’d make my way there, my hands to my sides and yet ready to be used if requested. With the Kusagakure band on my neck, I’d chosen to keep my own and my assistants this time, merely because of the fact that we wanted to convey a message, and from the silent murmurings that would occur from the villagers who’d notice our presence, I figured that things were already beginning to stir. My hair would again lose its gleam as I’d make my move on the building, passing through its glass doors and looking behind for them to follow me in, as I soon came face-to-face with the assistant, her eyes not wild, but perhaps intimidated by the sight of us, surely fully aware of the plans her employer had in regards with Kusagakure.

”W-What do you want?”

”I’d like to have a meeting with the leader of this village.”

”U-Uh, I think he’s busy at the moment, he’s-”

”Perhaps he’d like to know who he’s going to talk to? Tell him the Kusakage has business with him.”

With my eyes ushering her to speak in to the walkie-talkie that lay on her desk which surely connected to the room upstairs, I’d shift my gaze from the item back to her, as she’d soon give in after a few moments, noticing surely that we weren’t going to move until something was done. Speaking words in to it; ”Sir, the Kusakage is here to see you.” she’d then pause, uncliking the button as time slowed, waiting for a response. We’d be silent for at least a minute or so before a voice soon came up from the speaker, hoarse, but understandable just about. ”..Send them up.” I could make out this from what was said, and I’d then give her perhaps one of the most sarcastic smiles I’d ever given anyone, proving my point, as I’d soon move towards the staircase, and quite confidently begin to make my way up. A few flights of stairs later, and we’d be face to face with a wooden door, much like my own, but less in size. With a man near the door, presumably a guard, would then open it before the four of us, allowing us entry, as my eyes soon set on the slightly shadowed figure behind the wooden desk.

”Ah, Kusakage, so glad that you can join me today!”

My blood boiled.
