[hider=A letter to Hisoka]
[i]Lord Hokage,

A week passed since my arrival in the Wolf Country, where the situation was worse than anticipated. Despite some initial harshness, I managed to gain the trust of a local resistance group. Together, we worked intensely on destablishing the control that Kiri has established in the region. Despite suffering several injuries, I managed to remove two persons who proved to be a threat to our planes. After gathering all the resistance members we could, we are going into an open assault against the local Kiri forces. At least, that is what they think will happen. I intend to sneak forward and assassinate the puppet leader installed, then replace him with anybody willing to follow orders from you, Lord Hokage.

 In case I shall fail and die on this mission, please accept my deepest apologies for my failure.

Suzaku Uzumaki."[/i][/hider]

That should do it. The ANBU sealed the letter with a seal that the Hokage can undo in less than a second, and attached the letter to the leg of his trustworthy summon, Kestral.[b]" You know where to find Lord Hokage, Kestral. I am counting on you to deliver this to him."[/b] He was rewared with a squak as he attached the letter. After a few seconds, Kestral flew away with his message, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Maybe it was the last message he sent to his home village and he was unsure whether he picked the last words when he adressed Hisoka. Looking at the dark sky for a few seconds, he then turned and walked into the center of his room. Most of his gear was there, prepared for tomorrow´s mission.

Suzaku was not very fond of assassinations that lacked purpose, but these were different. His previous two assassinations proved tohave an effect on the country he never expected - upon exposing the vulnerability of the Kiri presence, more and more people started to act. Some only with words, but others in more direct actions. Riots, raids on outposts, guerilla tactics were commonplace in the Wolf Country. All in a weeks worth of work. And tomorrow, he will commit another one - but as he thought about it, was he going to assassinate a puppet leader, or the liberty of a nation?

After all, his mission was simple - kill the current leader and find a replacement for him, one that is willing to bow to the supremacy of the Leaf Village. Could that be considered as killing liberty for a whole nation? [i]Maybe.[/i], Suzaku thought for himself.[i]If the people will refuse to follow him, they will do what I just showed them - and the Leaf will intervene again."[/i] Knowing full well that his actions might start another chain of events that can cause untold destruction, he layed down on his back, staring at the ceiling of his room. Closing his eyes, he calmed won his thoughts, untll one of them became dominant.

[i] Duty is duty, Suzaku. Lord Hokage trusts you ...[/i][/center]
