[center][i]Mika Hayashi Kirigakure Jounin, Vital preparation. From the inside and the outside out.[/center][/i] Mika looked at the village. It was around time for her next step. The past few days she had invested time to make sure that the numbers of allies for the revolution were growing. But there was also something that she had to consider. Something she hadn't quite well expected. The fact that Kirigakure had been heavily damaged due the Six Tail having gone rampant. Not sure how it had came that the beast had been able to rampage, Mika had used to her own advantage. It was sad and frustrating that the village was damaged, but she could shift the blame on Rika. If she was truly concerned or a capable Mizukage, why had that happened? Why wasn't there anybody who had lead the defenses or protected the civilians? With the growing civil unrest it was easy for Mika to instill doubt and frustration. Which would lead to anger and more easy to be convinced to join the revolution. Mika considered still sad that it was so easy to manipulate people. To convince them with some promises of a better time. Though she wasn't trying to fool them. There would be better times if everything would go as she had planned. But there was also a downside about the rampaging of the Six Tails. It would draw Rika back to Kirigakure and though Mika considered that she had some support to seize and hold one or two islands, she didn't want to end up in such a situation. The best situation would be that she had enough support to make sure that Rika wouldn't be able to make a move back to the revolution once she would be back within Kirigakure. Turning around, Mika thought about what her next steps would be. Heading to the nearby tavern where she would prepare her next steps. She had to write a letter towards somebody within the walls of Kirigakure. The sooner that her allies within the village would move into action and secure some ground, the better. Then she could try to amass more support from without and already start to prepare and breach for anything that would be thrown at her. After she arrived in the room she rented, Mika locked the door behind her and started to write the letter. [hider=letter][center][i]''A good day little nephew, I hope you're doing alright. So far my travels through the countryside have been refreshing as well quite exciting. Need to ask how is your mother? Is she still sick or is she doing better? I have heard rumours about that something had gone wrong in Kirigakure and hope that the both of you are doing fine. To continue, I have been to some islands and they are just like what I had imagined. Much like our own island with Kirigakure, but I am wondering if there are any slight differences. Would be very fun to search for them, no matter how small, right? Know what I might plan a trip to the Nagi Island. I highly doubt that they will have much of a different culture or manners than us, but seeing I haven't been there and am on a trip anyways, I think that you all won't mind it. Not? The thing is that I am quite enjoying this. I help some simple folk with my knowledge in herbs and medicines and often get a place to stay in return. Quite convenient, ain't it? Status furthermore isn't much interesting. I will continue to write you, dear nephew. Take care and watch out to not get into trouble. Yours truly, Nina.[/center][/i][/hider] After she had checked it at least twice, Mika was content with the letter. Now she had just to deliver it and already had thought of a nifty system. Once more, her days at the Kirigakure ANBU would prove themselves quite useful as she was aware how they operated with messages. The hidden message in the letter wouldn't be easy to find and probably seen as something trivial and not worth indulging in. Heading back to the market of the village, Mika considered to take a slight break. She had to meet up with the swordsman who lived nearby. Only after she had gathered the support of the island had she felt confident enough to contact the man. Given the letter and some payment to a merchant that would head towards Kirigakure to do some business, something about selling some timber or such, Mika hoped her message would arrive soon in Kirigakure. The time to act was closing in.
