The central building of the Raikage
Rei had entered the facility, keen on learning the details of the request he received. With his destination, the office of the Raikage, he quickly made his way through the building when sothing of note caught his attention
{There's less activity than I expected, surprised I haven't bumped into anyone yet} (Rei)
Normally, this building would be filled to the brim with frantic workers. Largely in part to the Raikage's office, council, and the mission assignnt desk all placed in the sa location
Because of its below average population for one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations, the village thought it best to place the most important functions of governnt in one space
But while people were indeed present, the surroundings were unusually quiet
"The area for receiving missions...it's practically empty" {Guess I'll ask soone about it later, need to see Motoi first} (Rei)
Arriving at his destination, Rei was about to walk inside when soone else opened the door from the other side
"Oh!" (Rei)
"Ah! You're early"
"Dodai-jichan..." (Rei)
"Good to see you Rei...wait...'jichan'?! I keep telling you not to call
that!" (Dodai)
"The sooner you accept you're spring ti of youth has passed, the better" (Rei)
"Why you little-!" (Dodai)
The one expecting Rei was Dodai and another shinobi standing behind him
"I was expecting to see the Raikage...why are you here?" (Rei)
"You just glossed right over it, sigh. If you're looking for the Raikage, he's...prepping himself for a eting" (Dodai)
"eting?" {Could it be a conference with Tetsuo is finally on the table?}" (Rei)
"Yeah, Mabui's also with him. I'm here because I had so things to talk about with my friend" (Dodai)
"Friend, as in..." (Rei)
Rei took a side glance at the shinobi standing behind Dodai
"Ah! Right. Allow
to introduce Motoi, the current overseer of Genbu Island" (Dodai)
Reaching out to shake hands with Rei, Motoi ford a small smirk
"To be honest, I'm more of a substitute for overseeing the island turtle. Nice to finally et you Sano-kun. I've heard great things" (Motoi)
"...Thanks" (Rei)
"I see you two have so things to talk about so I'll take my leave" (Dodai)
"Right, thank you again Dodai" (Motoi)
Replying sternly "Just make sure this task of yours doesn't take too long" (Dodai)
"Of course" (Motoi)
"?" (Rei)
Dodai took his leave, after seeing him off Motoi began explaining the mission details
"This mission is to secure information from a broker who's stationed just outside of the Land of Hot Water. Far to the west, you and I are to move as a two-man unit" (Motoi)
"Just us? No back-up or anything?" (Rei)
"There's already another four-man squad waiting for our assistance. The letter-bearer F, along with his three-man Genin squad, are already waiting for us" (Motoi)
Rei rubbed his chin and contemplated. This mission was located in a place with bad mories for Rei
"There's already a squad on this mission and...the location is near Yugakure..." (Rei)
"I know you're wondering why I specifically called you" (Motoi)
"The thought had crossed my mind" (Rei)
"Even after two months, there's still little we know about your mission to find Yugito-sama. Who ordered the Fuma to attack, or who aided them" (Motoi)
"I don't know how I'll be able to help...I don't rember much from that experience" {Or rather, I don't want to tell you} (Rei)
"...Be that as it may, we need soone who was actually there to authenticate what the broker says is true" (Motoi)
"Just who is this guy anyway? If you need to verify his words, I can only assu we're paying him a hefty sum" (Rei)
"It's more than that. This person is a forr ninja of Kumogakure" (Motoi)
"Key word being, forr" (Rei)
"Sigh...he's a deserter. A coward who abandoned the village during the last war. You know what our policy is when it cos to missing-nin do you not?" (Motoi)
"Oh yeah...I know. We're almost as bad as Kirigakure1Hidden Mist Villagein that regard" (Rei)
Kumogakure's stance on missing-nin was incredibly strict. Any who'd think of going rogue were usually caught before they could even leave the village
The only ti one could have the slimst chance of deserting the village was during special events that caused a breach in security or in this case...war
{Were it not for Mabui's Chunin exams, I'd never get the chance to sneak out of the village when I remade my body. This damn village is really strict on security, but it makes sense if you consider not a single mber of Akatsuki was from here} (Rei)
"Kirigakure just outright kills their missing-nin, don't compare us to them. At least we have the decency to send them to prison, alive" (Mabui)
{No, we just send them to a place called the "Blood Prison
