[hr]TIME: A week after the funeral | Location: Konohagakure - Uzumaki Clan's Compound--> Kiku Kurama's House --> [i][u]Date's House[/u][/i] | Interacting With: Sakana Uragiri[@Odin] Shizuka Ichimi[@Syn] Kamui Uzumaki[@Spanner][/sub][/center]
After the funeral, Date returned to his clan home, to the sound of metal hitting metal, the smell of fire, iron, and burring wood. His father was concerned but knew from past experience how to act, so he did not try console his son he simply handed him a hammer and told him to get to work. For the past week, Date has been helping with orders and practicing his kenjutsu, not really thinking about the past or worrying about the future. He was intent on training hard to be better prepared especially since there is chance he might meet the old man or that sly fox again. He did not want to be at such a disadvantage, the feeling of having your life put in jeopardy just by a simple look is not one he wants to covet. His kenjutsu was coming along normally, the Watari compound had an amazing dojo (considering their profession) and an out door training ground. His father was a wealthy man even after the war and the move, so he made sure their new main branch home wold match their worth as a clan. 

The attack did not rattle things here to much, the compound was intact and orders still came in, his brothers and sisters were still living and he still had his sword. His mentor/sensei was wounded in that attack but that did not stop the older jonin from visiting even staying with them for a day. It was good for Date because he did not need to stop training, in fact he needed to intensify it. What many have not noticed was his inner anger with himself, his village was not just attacked, but at the funeral his pride and ego suffered a blow. No mater what it may have been, the exam was still an exam and he did not put his best foot forward. It showed if his new [i]Hokage[/i] could still pick up on things he was lacking. At the end of the day the only thing hurt was his pride and ego, but that comes with any failure. 

The revelation from that our new kage was a twin parallel to the old is shocking at best, even his father was at lost of words. When they left the funeral, questions were still unanswered but he and his clan could do nothing but back the new Hokage and wish him the best. It was still a interesting development and one to watch, especially since he was [i]worthy[/i] enough to be put on one of the response teams.      

A week late there was a knock on on his door, Date went to answer and wasn't surprised to see the newly appointed jonin at his door, Sakana Uragiri, and Shizuka Ichimi. He knew about his up coming mission and was readily packed and waiting for the call to be made. This was that call and he answered in suit, he simply shook his head in acknowledgement, then grabed his small bag full of ninja tools, Howaitosupāku off the wall and stepped outside with the rest of the [i]team[/i]. This squad was filled with blank faces and he only knew two of them by name, Date set a goal to make sure he knew everyone's name before the mission was over and at least something about them. [color=FA8072]"I am ready whenever you are."[/color] He said to the others with a simple smile, no warmth, no overt kindness, it was just a blank gesture. One that was solely meant to signal his readiness to leave and do what was required of him.[hr]

[center][sub][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOfib-llmDA]Akuno's Mood[/url][/sub][/center]
The silence of the music would signal the entrance of the leading lady of the show. Akuno was only a building away but with her partner being interrupted, she could be seen easier in her black cloak and mask. She honestly felt childish in the get up, for Lord Jashin did not require such things in his faith, he actually wanted less clothing. This made it easier to seduce those into death's embrace, but alas she had become a team player and when you played on a team you had to wear their uniform. 

The Kazekage stood at the front of her mansion with what looked to be a pack of hounds at her side. It was a simple enough slip in behind her and stand opposite to her and the pact  on the buildings roof. To Akuno's surprise it was not hounds but foxes, all this did was cause her to shake her head in general disinterest. Lord Jashin did not require you have such things as companionship, that was just another knot in the endless web of lies that life gave people, and Akuno was a loyal blade sent to rip these knots to shreds and free those bound by them. 

[color=DC143C]"Now that is just harsh, cowards would have run but here I stand ready to receive you. Sticks and stones Ishi sticks and stones."[/color] Akuno said as she pointed her scythe at the woman in front of her. In the eyes of Jashin she was nothing but a woman waiting to be relived of her cures. She was not Madam Kazekage Ishi Kakumei like her file said, she wasn't even Ishi, just woman, Akuno cared not for what she did only that the little heart in her chest still beats and with every beat it calls to stop the endless torture. With her mood set, Akuno slashed Kurushimi in her "X" pattern and a second later the gale of compressed wind would follow aimed directly at the woman, her [b]"1000 Cuts"[/b] would surely be a nice opening line to the last show Ishi would ever put on.
