[center][i]Harumi Uchiha Konohagakure ANBU, Operation : Rising Sun Part I.[/center][/i] Harumi sighed. She glanced at the small paper note. The orders were clear and Harumi was a bit saddened. She had gained, what? Four days off? Right after she had arrived back in Konohagakure from her last mission, reporting about what she had seen and done, which had been checked by the Intelligence corps, Harumi had been allowed to get some days off. She had mostly just taken a rest and done nothing much. But while she had taken it easy and slow, she had noticed that the world had just continued. The Leaf itself was a good example that the world was progressing even if she didn't. The new security measures were actually something that made her not curse or damn Hisoka's name. She had even watched from a distance, observing the workers and others that were involved in building the new wall. It caused Harumi to ponder how tight the security as the defense would be. But deciding that she wouldn't need to worry about it, Harumi hadn't pay anymore attention towards it. Picking up the scabbard, Harumi donned the gear up. The only piece that was missing was her mask. It laid on the small table in front of her and Harumi stared at it. Slowly her right hand went towards it. She thought about the mission she had just received. Though she would like it to have some more days off, she didn't consider this mission a possible problem. With a team of around fifty other ANBU, she wasn't even sure if there would be a possible threat during this mission. Exiting her home, she would quickly head to the meeting point, but under the disguise of a transformation technique. The plan was that the organized group would move out, but not raise any suspicion. Something that would happen if a big group of ANBU would march out of Konohagakure like that. Heading to the meeting point, Harumi thought again about the mission. It would be to visit Keishi and deliver some documents from the Hokage to the Feudal Fire Lord. She would need to ensure that the man would understand what was needed to happen and why. But even with the note explaining some things, Harumi wasn't sure if it was to her liking. Then again, politics weren't much to her liking anyways and she was comfortable with her current position. ANBU during peace and a colonel during war. Positions that weren't neither too low or too high for her ambition. As she arrived on the small plaza, she noticed several others. It was unsure who was ANBU and who wasn't, but that wouldn't matter. Coughing out loud, Harumi made a small signal with her left hand. She repeated it several times and then walked towards another meeting point. She could already see some eyes turning towards her and keeping her under watch. After she had done it by another meeting point, she then would head towards the main gate. The call had been given and the group had two hours to get out of Konohagakure and head to the second meeting point. From where their mission would start. ------- Fifty of them. Masked, armed and ready. Harumi glanced around as they were standing in the shadows of the big trees in the forest. She felt a bit uneasy for some reason. Thinking back to the previous sole operation she had been given, was this supposed to be a promotion? She had still feared that she would be given less important tasks due the fact she hadn't been able to fulfill the requirements of the operation to try to take away the Six Tails from Kirigakure. Now she was standing as the leader of the current operation on the soil of her own country, the country she served. [b]''We move out.''[/b] Harumi ordered with a firm and stern voice. And like her, the other ANBU would move in formation towards Keishi.
