They had put up a plan to eliminate what stressed them so much, an assassination mission using their brand new soldier known as N.C.4, a shonobi with little to no humanity left in it. Unlike most extensively trained shonobi from such a cruel environment, this went beyond cruel conditioning and headed straight for complete tampering of one's body structure. Along with it came Chihiro Hyuuga, the heir of the Hyuuga clan and their only viable key to accessing the targets without causing a global scandal. Finally, Gin Kakiyama, the Kiri native who transferred to Konoha. Because none of the members knew of the mission's context, there was no risk in including a rather loyal foreigner into the team. That and both his capabilities involving mist manipulation and his status as a foreigner made him perfect to insure Konoha's behind being covered. The operation was, in theory, a success. They had assassinated both Cho Tonaka, the head of the most influential family in the country of Earth, and Fi Tonaka, his daughter and Chihiro's childhood friend. The involvement of these people left both Chihiro and Gin to question the consistency of this mission, much to N.C.4's dislike. Eventually, the way the assassination was performed left the robot rather perplexed about the whole execution, notably how Gin may be a liability and how Chihiro may be affected by the fact that she had to assassinate her friend because of Gin's cowardice. The team's leader's suspicions came to a reality when the Princess' catatonic-like state caused her to be dangerously hurt by a surviving employee of the mansion. Despite that, they all left and managed to bombard the Tonaka residence without any trace of the remaining. Well, everything except a couple of witnesses ... Now rested at a prepared safehouse before they'd rush back to Konoha by taking old, uncertain roads to avoid as many encounters as possible. Chihiro was hurt, but only a short rest was a required before she would be ready and they'd pierce through the perimeter imposed by the Shinobi in the small village. Still on edge, N.C.4 remained on guard while Chihiro attempted to say something. The robot was all ears, but she opted for a written communication due to her wounds blocking off any possible effort to use speech. When N.C.4 would finally see what she was trying to express, the robot's cold expression became one of worry, a rare occurrence but a justified one. As N.C.4 put on its trademark black gloves, proof that it was ready for actual combat, it put itself close to the hurt Hyuuga, knowing full well they were likely more exposed than ever in this residence. And finally, the wall exploded.[/i] [center][h2][i][b]Present Time - 2:07 AM, 9 hours and 53 minutes before the Hokage's Speech[/b][/i][/h2][/center] Massive amounts of debris and large bricks were hurled right at the group from an unwarranted explosion. This was somewhat unexpected, such a direct approach when everyone in the village was on edge seemed like a rather foolish thing to go for. Perhaps these individuals were beyond the care of what would occur if they were caught. If this was the case, N.C.4 would have a lot to worry about. With every dangerous piece of matter projected right toward it or Chihiro, it would perform slashing motions with its hands, using its wires to butcher the pieces thrown to kill them, reducing them to an irrelevant fragment of what they were as well as being greatly halted in their momentum. It would only be when the smoke would clear out and both parties could see each other that N.C.4 would assess the situation more firmly. There was a man with white hair, holding a strange looking weapon. A quick glimpse on it allowed N.C.4 to process what it was. The legendary Blastsword from Kirigakure now in the hands of a thug. Yopparai Ramu Koku he went by, and a rather shady character associated to multiple counts of questionable activities. As much as the robot would have liked to question Kiri's communication regarding the status of its precious weapons, there were more important matters at hands. Without actually consulting its group for backup, N.C.4 quickly entwined the wires it used to slash the debris to form a large, blue spiderweb it'd hurl right at the drunkard as he blathered about something it barely acknowledged. he could just block it, causing the whole thing to halt, but at the same time blocking his way. His sword would easily break the structure of the web with an explosion and let him pass. But the goal was to get enough time to retreat. "[color=khaki]Mister Gin![/color]" Upon calling his name, the robot assumed the Chuunin would understand as it quickly when to pick up Chihiro the same way it did before while maintaining the web as long as it could. If Yopparai were to escape quick enough, N.C.4 would deliver a flash bomb in response to his explosion. This would leave enough time for the robot to dart out of the kitchen's window and speed off. Hopefully, Gin would cover them with something like the hidden mist while he himself would retreat from this mess. Junshiro was confronted to a dilemma at this point. If it took the high grounds, they'd be easily spotted by the assailants and be attacked from the rooftops. If it took the streets it'd be easily noticed by the villagers and shinobi, nervous from the latest explosion, as it held a hurt princess on its shoulder. Taking dark alleyways would likely be the best method to proceed, taking out passers by with a swift chop behind the head to knock them unconscious. "[color=khaki]Hiro. Can you use your Byakugan? We must lose these individuals. However the perimeter around this village and their level of skill will make this impossible without some kind of strategy. I suppose you know where I am going with this.[/color]" It said with a weak voice, hoping the girl had not lost consciousness at this point. It had halted in an alley's corner, since it was deserted barring a stray cat eating from a trash bin. It was picking up its strength while letting Chihiro a chance to talk without the bot's footsteps plaguing any form of fluid communication. Not too far, the tall clock tower of the village shined, leaving ideas for both individuals to possibly utilize and finally break free from this situation. [hr] [center][img]http://i57.tinypic.com/2e2ozra.jpg[/img] [h2][color=fuchsia][b]Aoi Don Maquia[/b][/color][/h2] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cquEnzg0OeQ]Good Day! - 20 Minutes until the event commences[/url][/center] [hr] It was obviously hard for Aoi to wake up, especially ever since Akio moved in and things got a little more different in terms of patterns and general behavior at home. (Insert previous waking up scene here). With both ready, the two lovers were ready to head out and do another typical mission to meet their daily needs. As both Akio Tendou and Aoi Don Maquia left their home, Aoi received a text from Ayame Choko nonetheless, bringing to a complete null her plans to visit many Sunagakure tourist traps and instead attend some stupid ceremony or whatever it was involving the Hokage. Sighing, she kissed Akio's cheek upon showing the text before pausing. "[color=fuchsia]... I'm getting a sense of deja-vu~ Aren't you?![/color]" She said right out of the blue, even though it did make much sense, she felt like she had experienced this Suna thing before and the act of having to use her phone as she left her house. The text however felt completely new. Somewhat curious as to what they should do now, the first idea coming into her tiny, altruistic mind was to warn her future colleagues of that was going to occur. But before doing that, she spent another minute to fixate the text sent by Ayame. This time, she analyzed the whole, 80 word text, like it was some sort of giant book page and noticed she had a job to do beforehand: Warn her shinobi buddies to meet up! "[color=fuchsia]Hey Kiki, can you help me with that?~ Pretty please! I don't think I have everyone's number ...[/color]" She said, both out of sloth and probably sincerity too. She gathered as many as she could find in her rather massive contacts list, starting from her initial teammates for today: Rin, Shouken, Akio (accidentally). Then, Yamato, Daiki, Jaakuna, Chihiro, Momoi, Katsu (to annoy him) and Shin. They would all receive the following message. [quote=Aoi]Yoyoyoyoyoyo, every1!!! letz meat @ EAST SCWARE 4 hukag meetin! 0k?! =^3^=[/quote] And now they all had the message, at least those Aoi had selected, the rest would be solicited by Akio. The order was to simply group the clic of chuunin friends to make things look a little more "formal", all of them wearing flak jackets of course but that came without saying in such events. Holding Akio's hand as the usual ritual dictated, she smiled at her girlfriend as she felt a little relieved to not have to run around right to Sungakure in the end. "[color=fuchsia]Hey, do you think this'll be another one of these super boring speeches?! Oh! Did you bring my gameboy?! Please please please! I'm so close to beating Vaati! It's like so haaard!~[/color]" She ventured in her little video game fantasies, of course ever since she got one of those portable games, she was often glued onto them until someone caught her attention with something a lot more interesting. Eventually, they'd reach the city's square at the point she indicated in her text. There she'd notice Yamato who probably blocked off her texts again, but she'd wave at him to capture his attention as the event started. As usual, she was shameless and it didn't bother her whatsoever to embarrass her lover in that regard.
