"[color=007236]Placing traps in her room proper sounds risky,[/color]" commented Haruka, speaking for the first time since their arrival at the Capital. "[color=007236]It may endanger her and the servants.[/color]"

One of the problems that being a ninja entailed was that it was dangerous easy to fail to account for the abilities that civilians lacked but they possessed. What could have been a mere nuisance to them meant something far different to those whose lifestyles differed from theirs. Even the simplest of traps could be lethal, and their indiscriminate nature made them somewhat of an undue risk to bring on a mission to bodyguard important figures in the Land of Fire's government. While ensuring maximum protection for the eldest daughter of Minister Yoshimura was a good idea, one had to realise how traps could interfere with the day to day life of the residents of the manor.

"[color=007236]I do recommend you assign yourself to somebody who ... isn't female,[/color]" added the green-haired chunin, an undertone of dry disapproval evident in his voice. "[color=007236]Your lecherousness has already come into play, and I would rather have the reputation of Konohagakure not be impugned upon in the house of a major supporter of our forces.[/color]"

Unsaid was an order to clean up.

He returned his attentions to Yamato and Giichi, awaiting the latter ninja's reply. He too was quite curious upon how well the young genin's tactical capabilities had developed. It was best to take note of those who would serve as the future of the village. It had been surprising, having his authority immediately usurped, but the Minamoru scion served as a far better face to their assemblage of ninja than he did. Haruka was, after all, lacking in charisma and drive that the younger chunin possessed.

Still, it didn't particularly matter as long as the mission was a success.
