[hider=Flashback of two months ago] [h3]Two Months ago.....[/h3] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icu2sihltjU]A quiet ballad[/url] Two months ago, Jounin Tsukiko and Ueno Hajime with Takeshi, Sentou and 13th Hokage, Zeno are outside the village, Mt. Sasuke which was formerly the Uchiha Clan hideout, now used as base of operations in covert missions and unknown cases to be solved. Zeno congratulates Hajime and Tsukiko. "Great job on retrieving that book; no matter what happens don't open the book and Tsukiko, have you extracted any information about the Yakuza?" Zeno asked and looks very weary while sweaty with the book. "Well then, let get the big-ass Elephant out of the room here: Why the hell not?" Takeshi spoke, it wasn't the anti-social ninja that was present, it was the 'other' Takeshi as his yellow eye looked at the book. "You're presenting this to us on a sliver platter, i can call bullshit on anyone in this room who isn't interested in that." he smirked at everyone. "Right, Sento?" his gaze fell to the blue haired girl. Sentou easily agitated by Takeshi. They have been quarreling like cat and dog from day one and even the start and end of the mission, through and through. Their mission was very weird and they just fought a man who can transform himself into an Elephant, and Sentou fell into a load of feces in the elephant's den. The mission was about thwarting drug dealers who are smuggling human body parts to some Yakuza Lord. Tsukiko defeated the Elephant Man who was indeed very dangerous. Sentou is still on the nude or rather wearing her bikini as she's wet and still trying to get rid of the atrocious smell of the feces and punched Takeshi. "Like what the heck did you even do? You were purposely trying to get me killed!" She pointed out. [color=007236]"I though the Uchiha Clan where suppose to be powerful, and who can't blame me for your massive fuck up!"[/color] Takeshi retorted as he hit the back wall and rubbed his head [color=007236]Don't you dare start this shit with me, The last thing i need is the shit smell rubbed on me! Also: Cover the fuck up woman!" Takeshi pointed at Sento's naked body "What are you: Jailbait?"[/color] "Now now kids," said Hajime, quickly butting in to prevent conflict from arising further, "no need to argue here and now. Especially in front of Lord Hokage." The goatee-adorned chunin shot the two a dry smile, though his black eyes promised judgement and retribution if they continued to act like immature children in front of figures of authority. He reached into his coat, taking out an orange towel and throwing it towards Sentou. "Go dry yourself up, Uchiha-kun," he added, crossing his arms. "After debriefing, make sure to take a long shower." [color=moccasin][b]"And learn to keep your damn clothes on,"[/b][/color] Tsukiko commented, an obviously irritated expression on her face. On the ground at her feet was the elephant-man himself, notably not an elephant presently, bound in wire with his arms to his sides. He appeared rather beaten and bruised, with a scary amount of blood on his clothes. All of it was his. [color=moccasin][b]"And I've gotten him to talk. I guess he was worried about his appearance or something because he started talking really fast when I began pulling out his teeth. Ain't that right, [i]dumbass[/i]?"[/b][/color] A light kick to the captured man's back put him face-first on the floor, though it seemed he had already learned not to show signs of weakness. He cried out of fear, after facing a lot of beatdown from Tsukiko the Honey Badger. He was crying like a baby. "ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'll tell you just don't kill me." Elephant man peed right in his pants as he tries to talk. "You see I wet my bed till I was 14 it was like twilight heyday, you know what I mean?." He didn't even give an answer that properly. Covering herself with just her towel,Sentou stomped her foot to the ground. "Come on, Sensei just take his balls out, I can't stand the guy's face. I would have been happier if he led Takeshi to a pile of elephant poop instead of me, so avenge me. Hehehehehe." "Uchiha-kun." There was obvious disapproval present in Hajime's voice. His arms were still crossed, though he had moved to position himself between Tsukiko and their broken prisoner. In his years of service to the village, he had gotten to know what certain ninja were like, and he was not going to risk allowing the aforementioned jounin to take her anger out on the suffering elephantine man before them. "Lord Hokage," he said, addressing his superior respectfully. "I'll be taking him to a cell alright? I don't think he'll be in good enough condition to talk if he's left here." He was already preparing a Body Flicker Technique to carry the unfortunate man away from the cruel mercies of Tsukiko. "ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! The Yamadaguchi was kidnapping a bunch of people from every village, they were looking for something inside them called the Shikō Gene! THERE YOU GO SO PLEASE, JUST TAKE ME TO MY CELL!" He was crying even more, pleading to be arrested, safe and sound instead of facing Tsukiko's wrath. "I don't want to see the Honey Badger anymore for crying outloud." Elephant Man cried"HERE! " He gave them a USB. Zeno sighed. "Alright, get on with it. Whatever this Shoko Gene is, the Yamadaguchi wanted it so badly. Hajime, Tsukiko, we need the intel ASAP. I have a meeting in a few days time and I am going to be gone in two months so please, Takeshi, Sentou. IF THE BOTH OF YOU GET INTO A FIGHT AGAIN. I swear that in the name of Rikudo Sennin, I will not let you graduate into Chuunin!" [color=007236]"I ain't starting the fights, Sentou really wants to have a go at me!"[/color] Takeshi sighed and shook his head. [color=007236]["You're naked: Again!"[/color] "B-BUT HE TOOK OF MY TOWEL!" The nude Sentou said. This time she felt like she totally lost an argument. "Uchiha. Hanami. Stop." Hajime's voice was stern and commanding; it promised definite punishment if the duo continued to bicker needlessly with each other. "Now, if you excuse me," he said, crouching down to take hold of the sobbing man before them. "I'll be taking this guy somewhere safe." They disappeared in a burst of speed signature to the Body Flicker Technique. [color=007236]"I want pancakes."[/color] Takeshi spoke[color=007236][ " I could really go for some now."[/color] [color=moccasin][b]"Would you prefer a glass of [i]shut the fuck up[/i] too?"[/b][/color] Tsukiko snarked, glaring at the two kids as she crossed her arms over her chest. [color=moccasin][b]"Or would you prefer a [i]knuckle sandwich[/i] instead?"[/b][/color] After tapping her foot a few times, Tsukiko returned her gaze back to the Hokage. [color=moccasin][b]"You ever heard of that Shoko Gene thing before?"[/b][/color] "Let's be the best of friends!" Takeshi put his arm over Sento and cheered,women were always bad news when pissed, while in his mind 'Fuck my life hard.' "Yeah, let's be best friends!" Sentou smiled sarcastically and held Takeshi's hand tightly, tight as the can. In Sentou's thoughts. "You idiot. Your hand is in my boobs. Hell to the no, that we're gonna be friends.. IN A MILLION YEARS." Zeno replied. "I'm afraid not. Perhaps Murakami can help?" he suggested. The door burst open, revealing a middle-aged woman in a white dress shirt and red vest, but the most startling part of her appearance was her bright green locks, a physical feature she had obviously passed down to her son. "Was the entrance too dramatic, sir?" asked Murakami Jun, the cheery head of Konohagakure's Cryptography Department and a special jonin in her own right. The Honeybadger resisted the temptation to smack the kids when the older woman arrived. [color=moccasin][b]"Dramatic?"[/b][/color] Tsukiko wondered aloud, leaning against the wall. [color=moccasin][b]"May as well have kicked the whole thing down..."[/b][/color] Zeno rolled his eyes. "Just get on with it." "Oh, what we doing today, sir?" "Decode that thing and see me in my office later." Zeno leaves. "Just like him to give me the barest of information," said the special jonin, shaking her head with a smile. "Ah well, somebody hand me the USB and a computer, and I'll get right to work." [h3]Meanwhile at Sentou and Takeshi[/h3] "Oi Sento, can i ask something? Why do you hate me? I haven't done anything to you." Takeshi's voice was calm as ever, looking the the blue haired ninja. "If there something i've done that i haven't realised, it's now." "Ha? You ask me that all the time, I don't hate you, is just that I hate you being inconsiderate and ruining protocol missions which is stupid because you keep everyone getting nearly killed." She said frankly. "Aren't you talking about yourself? I mean: you zip around and do things on your own, i'm pretty sure Sensei has scolded you on that." He paused. "You have got me on being inconsiderate...but-" he bit his lower lip "Getting others kill is not on my agender....i've already spilled enough blood as it is...." he kept that part to himself. "I may be a loner, but a ninja needs to listen to orders, nothing more and nothing less." he covered his head with his hood. She sighed, "Here it is again, same old." She though, it is the other way around, Sentou herself listens to Tsukiko, she felt like facepalming on Takeshi's remark. "It's not your problem but it's a Shinobi's duty to not get innocent people in danger." That is very much true, Sentou lost count on how many times Takeshi makes unwise and risky decisions. "You told everyone before that you want to be Hokage. If you truly want to be Hokage then you should put others before yourself and not walk on dead bodies." Takeshi stared at her, before he started giggling...that soon tuned into a maniacal laughter, he covered his face with his right hand as his voice got louder and louder before he stopped abruptly. "Hehehe....My name and the title of Hokage will never exist, a person that is more fucked up than anyone else shouldn't become hokage, beside: I'm just a small pawn in his giant village that is the leaf." he let out of small laugh "I've dipped my body in blood than anyone else in the village. Not for protecting the village, not even for myself." He stood up and took out his balisong knives "For what? I don't even know Sentou....Can i ask another question?" "When everything you stood for, the dreams, the people you loved, for everything you stood believed for: Suddenly turn against you for one simple mistake: what will you do? The past has a chain that slowly drags you to the fate coffin. "What do you do then?"[/hider] [center][b]Zeno Hakarasu[/b] [img]https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRAVWfg9d6_tjGKcOKB3yEYjPyTy54ierscW2V65RsWzoB74UdNQg[/img][/center] Thinking back, Zeno daydreams about two months ago, who would have thought that Takeshi, a descendant of the 12th Hokage is never what he expected him to be. He sighs and he was tired, he calls Murakami Jun via his phone. [color=92278f]"Jun. Meet me at the Uchiha, Naka Shrine later."[/color]
