He had listened to the Hokage's words of wisdom, she hadn't really quite appreciated his - nor the others view on things. Not that it bothered him, while he respected the Hokage, he wasn't gonna live or die on her words. He didn't need to adhere to what she thought was right, for despite all of her greatness as Lady Hokage, he knew that he would become better. It was his destiny to become better. He listened to the mission being explained to him - the eight Tails, one of the tailed beasts? On hostile territory? This was a mission far above his pay grade as a Genin - finally, they were recognizing his power. 
"What mission?" he said  in response to her asking them to promise to never talk about the mission. Dio would be set to take the front on the mission - Ira cleared his throat.

"Actually, with all due respect, Lady Hokage. But [i]Dio's Talents[/i] would be better served from the back, so he could cover our rear most efficiently. It's a lot harder for us to watch behind us than it is for him, and if you take the front, nothing would be able to ambush us from that angle, as I trust the Third's more than powerful enough to handle any foe stupid enough to try a frontal assault." He interjected, more than willing to speak up, and even disagree with the Hokage, despite his low rank. His father always did say that rank [i]wasn't[/i] the most important thing in the world.

Kaido emerged on a branch outside of the main gate, watching as the girl fought his Assassin. She fought well, a little careless, yet she fought efficiently, making sure to minimize the collateral damage her otherwise devastating brand of techniques would cause. She got hurt four times by his clone, before eventually getting serious, demolishing the clone in one swift move. Kaid leapt down from the branch, landing behind her completely silently. He broke his stealth with a short applause, clapping his hands four times.

"At east, Nō." He said, a smirk on his face. "Well done, you've passed my litte test. I will see you at the Hero Monument in twenty minutes." He said, he would meet them at the monument meant next to training field 1. The monument was for all the Leaf soldiers that had fallen during the winter war, in the first war between all shinobi nations, it seemed fitting given the little exercise he had put his students through.

He waved her off, and then vanished, to go find the other two, before his clones struck them.

He would watch Sakana deal with the clone after a brief struggle, likewise for Shirayuri. He was quite impressed with how neither of them had lost their cool during their situation. He arrived on the side of them, this time not silently, in order to get their attention. "[i]He [/i] sure did tease you a little. A test, if you will. I expect to see you both of you at the Hero Monument in ten minutes. You have a mission waiting for you."  


Once his squad had all gathered before him, he folded his arms behind his back. "Sit down." He told them, nodding at the rocks in front of the monument.
"You were all told in the academy what this monument is for. You probably know someone who's name is written into this rock. A relative, a sibling, maybe even a parent. You all think you're pretty much immortal, that nothing's particularly serious. That's why The Third Hokage, Mawari-Sama has appointed me, Uchiha Kaido, to be your captain, in an effort to make soldiers out of you. And that all begins now." He spoke, getting four dossiers out of his backpack he carried on his shoulder, throwing one to each of them, keeping one for himself.

[hider=Team Kaido mission 1.][b]Team Trouble[/b]
[@Buddha][@Asura][@Queentze]
[b]Mission location:[/b] [indent]Konohagakure-Kirigakure[/indent]
[b]Mission type:[/b] [indent]Retrieval[/indent]
[b]Mission directions:[/b] [indent][b]Primary objective:[/b][indent]A set of scrolls containing Konohagakure mission numbers and details has been stolen after they were mistaken for kinjutsu scrolls. After the criminal found out that the scrolls were less interesting than initially thought, they have opted to sell them to Kirigakure to harm our shinobi services. Although we do not wish to enter in political war with Kirigakure, obtaining the scrolls is of the utmost importance. We have reached out to Kirigakure to ask them for assistance in tracking the criminal, and they have not responded except for a letter stating that they will not harm the criminal if they enter Kirigakure territory, but they will send a team of four shinobi to overlook the apprehension of the criminal to ensure that nobody dies.[/indent]

[b]Secondary objective:[/b][indent]Avoid entering Kirigakure territory to minimize political fallout.[/indent][/indent]
[b]Success/failure conditions:[/b] [indent]Success will be achieved if the scrolls are retrieved. Failure to do so might lead to a decrease in work in the future - or otherwise, possible war with Kirigakure.[/indent]

"Read through the file carefully. This is the most important mission you kids have done in your entire lives. It's an A-rank mission where the future of the nation lies in your hands. It's highly likely that we will end up in combat situations, either with the criminal, or with Kirigakure Shinobi, as I personally highly doubt they have any kind of intentions of helping us out. It's of utmost necessity that we succeed, or countless of your fellow shinobi will fall at the hands of the murderous Mist shinobi, adding even more names to this monument behind me." Kaido's words came out rather harshly, but he had no time to play nice with these kids - it wasn't what they needed, nor what Lady Hokage wanted him to do. He was not to be their friend, only their commander.

"You have half an hour to gather supplies - tend to your wounds my clones gave you, and then we will meet in front of the main gate fore departure. If you're even a second late, it won't be clones coming for you."

"Move out, Team." He moved his gloved hand with two fingers outstretched, his gray shinobi vest with the Uchiha and Hyuuga symbols on each arm reflected some of the sunlight hitting the shiny badges as he did.
