The last minute change to Katsuko's missions was a bit annoying, but Seijo was the boss and he couldn't complain [i]too much[/i]. An Uchiha boy was added to the squad, which honestly was more of a blessing than anything else. They'd need firepower more than anything else, though Katsuko wasn't worried about the conditions in the slightest. He looked up at the sky for a moment before returning his gaze to Sunagakure below. He stood atop one of the rooftops of the northern section of the city, with Mikoto and Saketsui behind him. His quick scan over the city showed no obvious signs of abnormal Confederate activity. Katsuko then stepped back from the edge and sat down casually while facing his two comrades.

[color=ed1c24]"So nothing seems out of place so far,"[/color] he informed the two, rubbing the back of his head as he spoke. [color=ed1c24]"So we'll do this fairly simply. We'll be heavily outnumbered by chuunin and jonin rank Confederate supporters. Normally that would require some stealth to compensate, but what we can do is compensate by speed. They aren't in a condensed area. If we strike hard and fast we can leave without having to fight every one of them."[/color] Katsuko paused a moment to stretch his back and pop his neck a few times. [color=ed1c24]"Our objective is to break into the archive a few blocks away and steal the sewer plans for Old Amegakure. The city is crawling with enemies, but the archive will only have a handful of opponents. The faster we go, the easier it will be."[/color]

Katsuko then looked up to the two younger men before him. [color=ed1c24]"Our second mission is a bit more difficult but it will go hand-in-hand with our first objective. There is a particular jonin in this city that we have been tasked to kill. Saketsui over here might already know of her. Akio Tendou, from Konohagakure. She's a few years older than me and was known to be pretty strong before she became an alcoholic. If she is by herself it will be trivial to defeat her between the three of us, but don't expect luck to be in our favor. It is likely that she will simply be among a dozen or so shinobi that will try to kill us. That will make things more difficult, naturally."[/color]

The jonin looked over his shoulder over Suna again. He could still see the archive building, where the plans were and likely where Akio was. [color=ed1c24]"If she is not by herself then leave her to me and handle any other enemies. Not to be rude but she is an opponent that certainly outclasses the two of you. But to that same respect: I outclass her. A one-versus-one situation would be the best if we can get that."[/color] Now he returned his gaze to Mikoto and Saketsui. [color=ed1c24]"Fairly straightforward, yeah? Any last questions or concerns before we go in? Once we start we won't have any time to take a breather until we're out of the city."[/color]

Today she would have to go without Aneko's assistance. They had been assigned to different jobs after all, and if Mirai was going to be in charge of something then she would look bad if she was constantly being tailed and assisted by her servant. Sunagakure was a nice city, much fancier than Amegakure or Konohagakure. But at the same time it felt strange compared to Ame. Suna had large, lavish buildings but it felt less productive. There was a lot of money but Mirai couldn't see where all the labor was at. It didn't matter to her either way. Her father was filthy rich, after all, and was one of the men who helped bring Suna to its current state by investing in businesses here. The Yumiya family always had money and her father made a lot more than he inherited. That was how he was able to support the Hamajo Confederation so strongly in terms of financing. His donations secured the Yumiya family in the inner workings of the Confederation, providing safety and exclusive benefits. Mirai had to be thankful that her surname wasn't a famous one, as it wasn't attached to any business names. If people knew who she was on sight then she would have a lot harder of a time than she already has, socially speaking.

Speaking of being social and dealing with people, Mirai had to spend time with [i]Yakoul[/i] again. The cat man was creepy and vulgar, it was only made worse that he was in a position of power within the Confederation. Speaking out against him would be like speaking out against a brick wall. Everyone else could understand that he isn't a great person to spend time with, but nobody would care enough to try to do anything about it. Oddly enough, however, Mirai was to be joining him by limousine. It was a mode of transportation that Mirai was familiar with, as the few times she went anywhere with her parents was in a limo, but it was strange to consider Yakoul inside one. Once the blue-haired teenager stepped inside the limo and sat down, she could confirm that actually [i]seeing[/i] Yakoul in the vehicle was just as strange as the thought.

[color=0072bc]"Umm..."[/color] She didn't really know how she should greet him. Should she address him as her superior? But then again he always seemed so informal that maybe he wouldn't like that. Whether the situation was inherently awkward or not, Mirai sure made it awkward with her entrance. She averted her eyes from Yakoul now, brushing her hair a bit to help ease herself out of the awkwardness. In that brief moment her blind eye that was normally covered by her bangs was visible, but only for that moment as her hair fell back into place. [color=0072bc]"So... What are we supposed to be doing today?"[/color] It was a simple icebreaker, and she really didn't have much of an idea as to what Yakoul would want with her. It had to be something to do with the badge he gave her before, that much Mirai knew. But she couldn't tell what the general was thinking at all so her guess may as well be a shot in the dark.
