Those two recruits surely had a lot to report, which only brought a subtle smirk to Yudai's lips. Part of him wanted to question them if THEY BROUGHT ANY BARRIER DOWN TODAY?! HAH, DID THEY?! They didn't. And honestly it seemed as if he didn't, either. A good job wouldn't hurt, neither massage his ego too much. But oh well, he was certain he would accomplish many other feats within the Red Sages. It was his destiny. As long as the red-haired powerhouse of a man was alive to do the hardworking so Yudai can claim it was his doing, everything would go along pretty well. Honestly, that shuriken in his arm was starting to bother him. So, taking a deep breath, the boy simply grabbed it and pulled it off; blood began flowing out of the wound right after, but it wasn't a problem. Well, it was- that fucking blood actually got on his clothes and washing it away would be hell. Damned Confederation and their daringly manners, Yudai's clothes were brand-new. Pfft. This would be a long travel, even at their pace - there was more than enough time for Yudai to mentally insult the Confederation, but instead, he decided to pursue conversation. Let they hear about the feats those red sages accomplished today. Clearing his throat, he'd move slightly to be within ear-range to both Mikoto [@GrafRoy Zeppeli] and Nori [@Hatman1801]. [color=#f5e9dc]"So, apart from the unusual Kekkei Genkai..."[/color] Yeah, Yudai heard that, he was right next to them. [color=#f5e9dc]"And both Hyuga and Uchiha,"[/color] That too. What a eavesdropper. [color=#f5e9dc]"How it went, for you two?"[/color] The question was directed at them, pretty clearly. He even raised a vague hand to gesture towards each of these two. Whatever they answered (unless they insulted him or so), he'd just nod with a slight smile and possibly reply with; 'Good'.[hr]An hour later and they finally arrived at their base. The large, metal door parted, revealing a secretary. Seijo paused briefly, gathering something from her, then announced that they might have a mission later tonight. Oh, that would be hell - Yudai thought that after an accomplished mission, it was time for glory, women and wine. Disappointing. But exciting, nonetheless. He moved inside, together with the other red sages, immediately making his way to his personal room. In there, he got rid of his battle attire, standing only in his trousers. Then, he proceeded to open one of the drawers on his cabinet, picking up a first-aid kit from it. All he needed was some cotton, alcohol and bandages. After getting that, he returned the first aid kit there and sat at his bed. Slowly, he began cleaning the wound, wincing slightly. After he was done, he wrapped some bandages around his arm and voila, it was perfect. He felt as if it wasn't needed to bother any of the medics with his wounds, there would certainly be other shinobi who'd need it much more than he, himself. Now, he began dressing into something... better. A long sleeved white shirt, simple all in all, with a pair of black cargo pants and a pair of simple boots. He rolled the shirt's sleeves up to his elbows and then folded the collar neatly. There. And then, a knock on his door; he opened it, receiving an invitation to the conference room. Heeeeere we go. After a few moments, Yudai had already made himself comfortable in one of the many chairs. His crystalline eyes stared up at the commander as she welcomed them, shortly after questioning if any of the present shinobi had something to say. He didn't, so he kept himself quiet - apart from the noises his chair made while he moved around to a more comfortable position.[hr] [center][img]http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii639/Lunaxie/title385809434_zpshhs3nkm9.png[/img][color=ed1c24][h3]Kaori Uchiha[/h3]Slowly starting to question Higoho's sanity [sub]The Hamajõ Confederation[/sub][/color][/center][hr] [@KenyeIsMyLife] Kaori didn't buy his 'I'm fine'. If It was her in his place, she'd be curled up in a ball, in a corner, crying and claiming she had broken four ribs. Or all of them. Maybe this boy was tough. Well, one thing was for sure; he certainly had a keen interest in the 'Great' clans of Konohagakure. As if, the Uchiha wasn't seen as a great clan since a long time ago, rather, they were treated with utter disdain and prejudice by some, even. This, all thanks to the historical records of the likes of Uchiha Madara. Nonetheless, Kaori didn't voice this, instead, she just proceeded to say something more... social. [color=ed1c24]"Yep! They do, but a great clan's name isn't the only thing to make great shinobi, I'm sure."[/color] Well, she wasn't sure of what the hell she was saying, but she just felt inclined to say something like that, beaming a slight smile. Which, after his claim of only having a dumb brother, shifted into a slight frown. A long time passed since she lost her deceased brother - and honestly, she hardly spent any time with him to build any sort of bond, but still, he was family. Her mind then wandered to her older brother, Keiji. How would this attack affect his job? Hmm, maybe- The thoughts were interrupted as Higoho Hyuga practically shoved Kaori and Tanji out of his way. What was he doing? Couldn't he stop being an imbecile for a single second? She was distracted and didn't catch the scene where he was previously insulted. The boy continued marching angrily towards an armored figure - and then, a loud noise erupted together with a cloud of debris and dust, which seemed like an earthquake had just happened in a single small area. Once it subsided, she could see Higoho marching out of said dust, he looked angry. She immediately looked at Tanji with a questioning look. [color=ed1c24]"Has anyone else taken his appearance?"[/color][hr] [center][img]http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii639/Lunaxie/title947387905_zpssdjrzk2g.png[/img] [color=993366][h3]Naomi Uzumaki[/h3][/color][u][b]Red Sages[/b][/u][/center] Her retreat went uninterrupted, she wasn't even actively partaking in the mission, after all. It was her own decision to avoid direct conflict, only picking off Confederation shinobi that distracted themselves - and yet, only harming them sufficiently to drop their combat effectiveness, from a safe distance. Shurikenjutsu had always been her focus in combat and, while many underestimated it, Naomi always considered it very effective in any skirmish she'd encounter herself in. She didn't gather with the rest of the Red Sages. In fact, she was actually a few steps ahead of them; she had retreated a bit earlier, since when the order was given, she was already far away. So as soon as her shadow clone disappeared and she was filled in with the information to retreat, Naomi did so and together with her speed, she made a rather quick way home, leaping from tree branch to tree branch all the while she glanced behind her to see if there was any known figure following. Apparently... Not, perhaps she had moved too fast for the poor soul to keep up. [hr] Upon arriving the base, Naomi leaned her back against a nearby wall and took off the crimson mask she wore until now, judging it was safe to reveal her face now. She didn't do it back then because she didn't want to be branded as a traitor and rebel, especially given the high number of Konohagakure-nin and civilians present in the event that could later recognize her, if she ever went back home. It only took a few minutes for Seijo and the trope to arrive, emerald green eyes latching onto the figures following the Lady-Commander. There were many, but some specifically caught her attention; since when did the Red Sages began recruiting pretty faces and even with some versatility, eh? The Uzumaki tied the mask she previously wore to her waist, letting it hang there. She still wore the dark red cloak which covered most of her form. Once the door opened and the Red Sages began to enter. She remained outside, which attracted strange looks from the entering members. Well, no problem. How long would it take for her cousin to arrive? Ah, Naomi also had to notify someone who's ranking was higher; she wasn't sure if he'd officially join them, but the way he said he wanted to help.. Well, probably would.
