[center][b]Haruhi Uchiha Konohagakure ANBU. Onwards, to the Water Country![/center][/b] Harumi checked her gear. The note she had received just a hour ago had made her wary. She had been given a mission. But not just one to hunt down a missing nin or capturing another shinobi of the Sand like the one before. Or guarding somebody. No, this was a mission where she had to operate more on her own in a ''neutral'' country. Once she had checked her gear, Harumi placed her bag over her shoulders. Dressed as a traveler, she had dressed herself on purpose like that. For once she was blessing herself for not having the dojutsu that some of her clan had. Not that she had once regret it. In her eyes, ironically, it was a weakness to see the sharingan as a way to see yourself strong. Weren't there strong clans out there that had no actual blood line ability? Clans much stronger than the Uchiha's? So much then for that ''blessed'' eye. While Harumi left the Uchiha compound, she took a look while heading to the main gates. It would be some time before she would be back. Which was good. Far away from Hisoka and that troublesome father of his. Busy with something that made herself feel useful. A smile crept on Harumi's lips as she walked out of the compound. Already she felt a surge of freedom rushing through her body with each step she took, distancing herself away from that clan. Thinking about her mission, she was nearing the main gates. Walking in a relaxed pace, she had little trouble to leave the Leaf. With the right papers and with the message being sent that she was leaving for a mission, Harumi was walking out of the village before she had even noticed it herself. Closing her eyes slowly, raising her head, Harumi began to smile again. It felt really good. Being away from her clan for some time. [i]Maybe I should get myself a souvenir.''[/i] Haruhi thought cheerfully to herself. [i]Yes. And bring Hisoka a head. That might disturb him. Or irritate him? Just a sign that I am glad with him assigning me on a mission.[/i] Heading on her way, Harumi started to pick up the pace.
