[b] Touzoku [/b]

The Tsuchikage's assistant, Yui of the Yuki family, was a young girl Touzoku was quite familiar with - it was because of Yui's ability that Touzoku had even been able to come to Iwagakure to begin her life anew, free of the burdens of her past. As she had done with her prior leadership, now dead, Touzoku had divulged the nature of her presence as well as the nature of her abilities, thus upon getting the beck from the Tsuchikage, Touzoku was more than capable of surmising exactly what services were going to be requested to be rendered. As promptly as Yui brought her the message, Touzoku was in the Tsuchikage's office, her dinner now cooling alone on her dining table.

"Yes Lady Tsuchikage?" she asked politely, entering the room with a swift knock. Despite the imposing power and position that Akaritori had, Touzoku was not intimidated by it. Despite the rather hawkish attitude of the Tsuchikage, this was a vacation compared to Touzoku's older duties. The fact that she got a lot of free reign in her role as Black Ops leader for Iwagakure didn't hurt. It allowed Touzoku to use her abilities in a controlled fashion in an attempt to save her own sanity, as well as make the judgment calls she wished to make.

Touzoku often found her conversations with the Tsuchikage to be rather funny - Touzoku being a bit of a dove on more issues. This was even more comical given Touzoku's abilities as one of the most skilled assassins in existence. But, her gifts were not ones she chose, but rather ones she was born into and ones she would use for the right cause. It would be up to Akaritori to convince her and then, she would have to convince herself.
