The sa day Team Tango headed out to check on Yugito's team
Several cloaked figures held a eting in a secret facility within Kumogakure. The last mber just entered the room
"Apologies for the delay"
"No problem, we were the ones who asked for your help"
"Am I the last the one?"
"Yes. Now that we're all here..."
"..."
"Finally"
"...our 'Company' eting can begin"
Every figure inside sat down around the wide circular table in the room, nothing but a lit candle on it's center
"So...how did it go?"
"The Head Ninja has just left the village"
"Ugh...about ti"
"What the hell took that nitwit so long?"
"Since he ca to be in charge with the Raikage and Daimyō gone, he probably took his ti enjoying so real authority for the first ti in his pathetic life. Really...what a simpleton"
"Who cares...did he provide the information we needed?"
"A list of candidates and current mbers of his private security detail. The identities of his personally selected Anbu Black Ops"
"That should help narrow down who we can bring to our side...and who we need to eliminate"
"Good work"
"Thank you. The operation with the Jinchūriki is also underway"
"Oh! At last, phase one of our 'renovation' has begun"
"Um...there might be a small complication"
"Hm?"
"What? What happened?"
"While it's true that man followed our orders to prevent any rescue squad for the 'spare' Jinchūriki from being sent. However..."
"What? Did that fool do sothing against our orders?"
"...He sent a small three-man cell of Genin with one Jonin to verify their status"
"Huh?!"
"Why?! Why would he do that?!"
"Apparently, his nephew has so grievance with so of the Genin mbers in this squad. Also, one mber in particular is related to so of the Jinchūriki's team mates"
"..."
"So he sent this squad, against our orders...to get payback for his nephew? That's just!-"
"Stupid"
"We should've gotten rid of him, and put soone else in his position"
"Obviously"
"Haaaa...is there anything else we should know?"
"The group is led by a thirteen year old Jonin Captain nad Tango, hence the na 'Team Tango'. He's also a letter bearer, holding 'T'"
"A Jonin letter bearer of thirteen years..."
"I think I've heard of him, the intelligence division gained a lot of attention during the last war with the appearance of several new, young promising mbers"
"What of the Genin?"
"The Genin are extrely talented. Top of their class and mbers of Kumogakure's 'Gifted Generation', their skills are very advanced"
"The preselected students for the academy during the last years of the war"
"They were also the ones responsible for bringing down the 'Oni Garrison' nearly two years ago"
"That was them? I thought Toroi handled the garrison?"
"Toroi showed up at the last minute as their backup, but the ones who did all the heavy lifting was indeed Team Tango"
"Impressive"
"That also explains the Jonin Captain's young age. Giving him skilled students to compensate for his lack of experience"
"So...you think they'll be a problem?"
"Probably not"
"On what grounds do you base this on?"
"The Head Ninja only gave them permission to leave because several ninja close with Yugito Nii protested his decision of not sending any back up. He proposed a counter offer of sending a small team of students that wouldn't upset other villages during the peace negotiations to verify the Jinchūriki's status"
The whole room went silent as the mbers thought about the rcenary group they hired. Their level of skill and odd, obsessive eagerness to take the job of capturing a Jinchūriki
Wondering if they should pull the plug and delay their plans as chances of the Raikage discovering their handy work in this matter were not nonexistent. This was not like with the "Oni Garrison" raid, the people they hired this ti DID have damning intel about the Company
"..."
"That's..."
"I say we continue"
"!"
"Are you sure?"
"They were sent to verify, not rescue. And even if they do find the Jinchūriki and call for help, it'll be too late. Besides..."
"?"
"I think we're all sick of waiting, it's ti for action"
"..."
"Onwards with phase one then?"
"Of course"
One by one, the figures around the table removed the hoods covering their heads only to reveal masks on their faces with different Kanji. The displayed symbols: Scorpion, Blade, Mountain, Balance, Ti, Red, Three, Flow, Arc, & Sage
The one bearing the "Mountain" mask was the first to speak
"I'm so glad you feel the sa as I do brother Sage" (Mountain)
"We all do brother Mountain. Especially now that our newest mber has done so well. Good work, brother Flow" (Sage)
"I am simply doing my part. Now, moving on to our next topic...sister Red" (Flow)
"I don't think much needs to be said on that front after we've confird the Raikage has left, but the work of brother Scorpion and sister Blade on that island near 'Takigakure'1Village Hidden in the Waterfall has gone completely unnoticed" (Red)
"So the ground work for phase two has already been laid out?" (Ti)
"Yes sister Ti...but it still depends on the end results of that rogue-nin our 'partner' in Konoha sent us" (Red)
"He'd better co through after said partner asked us to provide sanctuary for that rogue snake. If he doesn't, I'll personally send him back to Konoha and correct the 3rd Hokage's mistake of not killing him" (Mountain)
"A snake he may be, but you can't deny his intelligence. More importantly, his breakthroughs in genetic alteration" (Red)
"Of course you'd be interested in that sister Red. The only type of person who can admire the work of a mad scientist...is another mad scientist" (Mountain)
"Humph!" (Red)
CLAP CLAP
Ending the childish bickering, Sage moved the conversation along
"What say you brother Three? You're the one who oversees all of our outside partnerships, including the one with that man" (Sage)
The one who was the most quiet, bearing the Kanji "Three
