The responses of both the two chunin as well as the genin solicited a small laugh from the Hokage. They had grasped the meaning of the saying, though that was not all too hard, since the saying was quite easy. But the hidden wisdom within it seemed lost on them - the greater meaning, the meaning that could theoretically shatter ideologies. [color=lightpink]“Well, you all got the meaning of it I suppose - though, I would like to implore on all three of you to think somewhat deeper on the meaning of it. Don't take everything at face value. After the mission, I will ask you guys the same question; 'what does the saying mean.' Perhaps your ideas will have changed.”[/color] 

She glanced at Dio momentarily as he asked about the mission, annoyed at his rather annoying attitude and disregard for her wisdom. She was a virtuous, pious woman after all - not in the religious sense, perhaps, but she was most certainly wise. In her mind, Dio would do well to listen to her more closely. Despite her intention not to teach these three nobodies anything, she found herself lecturing them on her own ideological visions already, and they would best pay attention if they wished to understand the Hokage better. [color=lightpink]“The mission is also about eating meat - though, not for us as individuals, but for Konohagakure.”[/color]

Her eyes darted from Dio to Ira, to Mu, and back to Dio. It was rag-tag political team, one made out of two Sarutobi and a Hyuga - led by the Hokage. Slowly her arm raised and she pinched the bridge of her nose, looking down slightly. She wondered why she had picked this mission for herself with this team specifically. It would be a disaster if they actually found the target. At least Dio could give them ample warning before they did. [color=lightpink]“Right, the mission. I don't want you guys to be scared, but this mission is a B rank mission that has a possibility to turn into an S rank mission. Also.. I'm going to need you three to agree to never speak about this mission happening, ever. Clear?”[/color] She wasn't even lying, but they'd understand soon enough.

[color=lightpink]“We will be going close to the Kumogakure borders - possibly into their territory. Therefore, we will move silently and in a clandestine fashion. We will look for the eight-tails. If we find him, we will mark its' position, and return to Konohagakure. You will be paid royally. Any questions? No? Good. Dio, you take point. Once we get close, use your byakugan to scout ahead. Let's move.”[/color] 

With that done, the team would head out North-bound, headed for the Kumogakure border. Mawari would keep Dio in front at all times, to ensure that if something or someone appeared in front of them, they would at the very least be aware of it.
