[/center][/cell][cell]Everything about this reeked of secrecy. The sudden addition of the Kumo rep as described by Hideo...His seemingly banal response of being a “Simple” Shinobi. It all made Mizuraki’s nose twitch, despite her own irritation and desire to pummel the rude Ninja in question it couldn’t be denied that he was far from a SIMPLE Shinobi. A member of Anbu-Black ops would be briefed with far more information than Hideo was presenting to them...His presence alone was enough to tip off that something far bigger was at play here than just a simple cooperative mission. It all raised too many questions and there was a severe shortage of answers for Mizuraki’s liking.

While Mizu mulled over the possibilities in her head as to what all of this could mean. Her Genin seemed to have their own ideas on the matter. Bakuto was the first to speak up, followed by Remi and then closed out by Hiro attempting to rally his teammates and assure them that their worries were unfounded. Mizuraki broke her pensive stare and let out a small sigh before looking towards the group of children she would be leading into the mission. “[color=#C04848]I read your file, Bakuto. I know how you feel.[/color]” she said softly before her face grew rather serious. “[color=#C04848]But let me make a promise to you. On my honor...Nothing is ever going to happen to you as long as you’re with me. That goes for all three of you. I’m not sure who you’ll be assigned to after all this. But it’s my job to get you into their hands so you can all grow into fine ninja. No one is going to be captured and NO ONE is going to die![/color]” she shouted with clear passion and determination in her voice. “[color=#C04848]So let’s get out there and prove just how competent we really are![/color]”

She neglected to answer Remi’s question...Largely because it was a thought that scared her a little bit. If this mission came from Seiji’s desk than what on EARTH was he thinking with sending in so many genin!?  That was going to be quite a pointed question she would ask her friend when she returned from this mission that was for certain. “[color=#C04848]Form up behind me and don’t lag behind. If I look back and don’t see you, you’d better HOPE I don’t find you.[/color]” she said harshly. It came from a place of fear rather than the desire to punish her temporary charges, the idea of losing anyone filled her with more fear than anything else in the world. Mizuraki’s squadron followed behind Ichika and Hideo. Taking up the rear guard to make sure they weren’t being followed or otherwise tracked, she doubted it would happen so close to Konoha, but the war had made her a bit paranoid when it came to such things.

Eventually, although they were the last to arrive, they arrived nonetheless. The suggestion that the Genin should mingle amongst themselves as the Jounin spoke about the mission was met with a nod from Mizuraki. The Jounin turned to look over her shoulder and motioned to the group of Genin. “[color=#C04848]Stay ready. I’ll let you know when we need to move out again.[/color]” Normally she’d tell the kids to take a load off but not now, she was far too on guard right now to even suggest relaxing. Mizuraki approached Hideo and the Kumo nin’s own Jounin. Mizuraki finally interjected once there was a moment of silence between the group. “[color=#C04848]Right. Are you going to tell us just what exactly is going on out here?[/color]”
