[Nakahara Yuushi]

It was Yuushi's first mission since becoming a special jonin, and he was looking forward to it! Not because of the mission itself, that part actually sounded pretty bad, people disappearing without a trace, the small village on the end of the border getting colder, the nights getting darker with each passing day as more people disappear. It was like the beginning of a children's horror story come to life, except without the comforting knowledge none of it was real when the story was over. Instead it was a scary reality. But the jacket wearing teen was brave, and his sleeves extended well past his hands to where only his fingers were visible, meaning he was more than safe from the cold. And of course, he had his armor and weapons too, so if there was more than cold he'd be safe from that too. Besides, there was another plus to this mission that'd surely keep him safe. Ichi would be on this mission.

The new Lord of Kusagakure, and the older teens cousin, it would be their first mission together ever! The green haired teen haired teen had been too sick, too tired, too busy in the hospital to even join the academy, let alone become a ninja until he'd already learned the basics of senjutsu. He had managed to climb the ranks of the Ninja System impressively fast, having reached Special Jonin in only three years, thanks almost entirely because of how he'd learned Senjutsu before ever joining the Academy. And now he could do something he hadn't been able to do. Not as a child, not as a genin, and not even as a Chuunin, having been too busy with sage training by then. But now, as a Perfect Sage and an (almost) jonin, he could go on a mission with his cousin. Not that the always seemingly relaxed man hadn't been busy himself, becoming lord meant ones time was limited. So he was going to make the most of this, and the green haired teen excitedly ran to where they were to meet and begin their first mission. Together.
