Akio was currently sitting next to the bridge that led to the Hojo Bathhouse, waiting for her team to arrive. She'd sent them all a text telling them all where to meet, so they should be here any second by now. She had also told them to keep their weapons to a bare minimum, as they were here for information gathering only and combat was hardly a factor in this mission. The only reason she didn't tell them to not bring any is because one never knew what could happen on even the most mundane of missions. Combat may have been very unlikely, but who knows what secrets the Hojo clan held and what lengths they'd go to to protect them. She held a small number of senbon and shuriken hidden on her person, as well as a kunai just to be safe.

As she waited for the others, she mentally went over the members of her squad, having read up on their files as soon as she knew who she'd be working with.

[i][color=Gold]Rei's a good worker and sociable, plus she's got a good head on her shoulders, so she should be an asset here. The Inuzuka kid could be a problem if he still has a chip on his shoulder, especially since this mission is exclusively for the benefit of the new regime. I doubt he'll sabotage the mission, but it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on him. Then there's this Seta kid. I've never met him, but he doesn't seem like he'll be any trouble and his summons could be helpful, especially with all the water that was going to be around. Over all, a solid team with only one possible trouble maker.[/color][/i]

Akio sighed, looking at the bathhouse and wondering what the Choko siblings were worried about. Whatever secrets the clan had couldn't be that important, as they were not one of the more powerful clans, nor were they large. Akio doubted they were much of a ninja clan either, but what she thought didn't matter in this instance. She was told to find out everything she could about them, and that was what she was going to do.
