"cutting the lines". "Moral is too subverted to serve justice!" Kazuhira Tsukuru Wahei The day has come. Wahei closed the door of the mission assignment room. Quite time has passed since his vent with Yamanaka Tomomi and since them their relationship had grew less formal than it used to be. That "projecture" was remarkable in his life, and in part he was now a chunin thanks to kind guideness he received back there from the Yamanaka. It was no surprising, even though recently his call of duties were more related to underground assignments, that every now and then he was called to aid in some regular affairs. What had changed this time, is that he'd have to choose someone to accompany him. - With all due respect, Tsume is not ready for this mission. I've been quite working well by my own. - his voice echoed in his mind in a just recent flashback - "So I'm technically still part of that team, but that Inuzuka girl, she'd only mess things up because of her strong attitude" - he walked down the stairs of the administrative building - What do you mean by another member? - his eyes gazed the cloudy sky - "All and all, we are teammates, eh? Another frustrated generation left on the crazy hands of our good and old Yuuta-sensei. Speaking of, where are you, reckless bastard?" - with a lot of things, Wahei felt quite nostalgic - "All and all, it seem the day has come... and we will met again, Miroru-chan". Wahei would make all the arrangements for the mission and then send a message to Miroru. "Meet me at the team 3 training camp. The day has come. Your comrade". "From the very moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain, suffering and misery. I was also blindly obsessed with a trivial and irrational need for vengeance. But I was left behind. Alone. Forgotten. Abandoned. Forsaken. But now, the fog has been truly lifted. One can never run from its ghosts. And that’s exactly all that I am. A lost memory. An undying shadow, in this world of light. From now on, I’ll have to live up to this semi-charmed kind of life. Regardless of this phantom pain. This is my fate. This is my Destiny. It’s not the light which will guide us through the darkness, but the darkness that shall guide us through the light.

"Meet me at the team 3 training camp. The day has come. Your comrade".

Miroru turned the message rightside up, upside down, backwards, held it over a candle and up to a light bulb. Nothing. Just those words.

"... WHAT THE HECK, WHO EVEN SENT THIS?!"

Tugging at her hair, she paced around the little table in her room where she laid the scroll down, eyeing it suspiciously.

<Don't be an idiot, little ant. It's clearly a trap.>

>I mean, it MIGHT be, but-<

<No buts. Do not risk yourself on such obvious bait. I intend to at least make it a FORTNIGHT without being shoved into some other worthless brat.>

>Oh, thanks a lot.<

Miroru scowled as all the help she got from her erstwhile "partner" was insults and demands, and stopped listening, crossing her arms and tapping her foot as she tried to decide what to do.

"... aw, heck, it'll be fine. It's still in the village, even, if it's shady, I'll Sink them and run," she muttered, grabbing her field pack with her staff strapped to it and running off to head for the training grounds!

Before long, the petite redhead was jogging into Team Three's camp, looking around for her mysterious "comrade"!

"Just don't give up on me! We can figure this out!"

"cutting the lines". "Moral is too subverted to serve justice!" Kazuhira Tsukuru Wahei Butterflies. Wahei would not take long to show up after Miroru find an empty training camp 3. - Good morning! - he said, waiving friendly at the red haired girl. - Its nice to see you again, Miroru-chan. Sorry for taking so long. - he said, moving his waiving hand to the back of his head. He had learned a lot since their last meeting, including how to lie in the face of the most dangerous underground dudes around the Hi no Kuni. Though, for some reason, it was quite harsh to show up after letting her waiting so long. - Good news is, the day has come. - he revealed the scroll from the front pocket of his olive-green vest, not even thinking about mentioning of the promotion. - Ready for a... that mission? - he said, rubbing the back of his head. - "Why is my cheeks are feeling this rub and warm? And it seems like I've ate a butterfly sandwich" - "Oh, my! You have a crush on her! You're so sweat" - "Do I?" - "This girl... there's something different about her." - "Yeah. I can feel it too" - "This... power..." - "This... hatred" - "Of course you do" - "I don't think so. We're just friends!" - "Alright, Mr. Butterfly. If you say so" - she teased him, though the other personalities was intrigued by something else. Wahei would brief Miroru in about the details and guide her so she could get ready - if she wasn't already. -  Basically, our job is to set on sails and intercept those bandits and protect the fishing routes. There's a boat waiting for us so we can reach the open sea. - his tone seemed slightly odd, but good enough to explain her the further details - Questions? - he asked, making sure to give her every INTEL she could need. "From the very moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain, suffering and misery.

"AHA! It was you! I wondered who sent my mystery summons!" Miroru cried out, grinning. "My friend told me it was a trap for sure, but I didn't listen! And I'm glad I didn't!" As he apologized, she snickered and shook her head. "Aw, it's okay! It's good to see you again, too, Wahei-sama!" Miroru chirped pleasantly, flashing a smile at the Chuunin. "And you bet! I'm super ready! I've got all sorts of new tricks! Fox summons, and me summons, and- um. That's probably all you'll see!"

"Oh! A real pirate adventure!!!" Miroru bounced on her heels and squealed! "Me and my friends used to play-fight as pirates all the time! Time to take the fight to the real ones!" She announced, pumping a fist in excitement.

"Questions- hm. Are we supposed to be discrete at all? Or can we just go all out and take on the bandits as soon as they show their faces? Are we trying to take prisoners? Are we expected to execute the bandits? Or can we just beat the tar out of them and put the fear of the Leaf into them?! Just let me know so I know how high to turn my butt-kickin' meter!"

"cutting the lines". "Moral is too subverted to serve justice!" Kazuhira Tsukuru Wahei COA! Miroru was even more enthusiastic than Wahei could recall, and that make the chunin crack a soft smile. - Oh. I forgot to stamp it. Not used to those formalities yet. - "Like... mentioning the note is yours? Quite creepy, eh?" - "Stop teasing me! And it's not as though I have lots of notes to send anyay" - "Ask her about this friend of her" - "What? No- that's irrelevant" - ignoring the mental riot in his brain, he dedicated his attention to the girl's enthusiasm. - Alright. Follow me. - he said, whilst she talked all about her skills and new moves. Wahei nodded at them with a friendly smile, nod and thumbs up - Impressive, really. The brief-in time came and as expected she got energetic about the whole idea."I figured she'd like this when I read the log. Who wouldn't?" - It must have been really great. Never had the chance of having those play time adventures when I was a child - he admitted. Synthetic humans didn't had the chance of having a regular childhood after all. "Technically, you're still a child though" - "Shut up. I'm 19." - "Though you look 14" - "I - AM - 19!" - "Spent your whole life floating inside of a water tube and not reached a decade since you awaken..." - "I'VE - TOLD YOU - ALREADY - I - AM - NOT - A CHILD!" - "Sure as hell you loves look like one right now" - "Fuck you!" - "Why is anyone questioning how weird is a 19 y/o having a crush into a... 12 y/o?" - "..." - "Touché, brother" - "So, can we eat her or not?" - "SHUT UP, Gluttony, you sick freak!" - "But her chakra... it's so enormous and I bet its delicious. I want to taste it!" - "I'm shutting you guys for good" When the girl asked him about how they should approach the situation, Wahei cracked a nervous smile - considering the recent debate inside his head - but tried to quickly snap it out since she had raised an important question. - Interesting point, actually. How would you approach it? - he asked, complementing - In your opinion, which would be our COA? - [course of action] Shigure always listened to his opinion and for a genin, and it is very important for rookies to exercise their mindset and start growing experience on how to think as leaders. If her plan were good enough, possibly even better than Wahei's original approach, they could improve it together along the way towards destination. They would have quite time to further discuss since the estimated travel time is about two days from the shore.

Enthusiasm had always been Miroru's hallmark- even before it became a potent weapon in maintaining her own personal sense of self in the face of an intrusive, patient infection of Fox. "You did forget! But that's okay, it was a fun mystery with a neat conclusion!" Miroru padded along with Wahei as he asked her to follow.

"Aw, man, it was always fun. The Justice Scouts could be anything! Pirates, samurai, shinobi, cops and robbers..." Miroru cooed, clearly still enamored with her friends. That last line, though- "Wait. You didn't? That's- that's not fair. How did you never get to play pretend? That's like the best part of being a kid!"

Be. Careful. This one is unstable.
Flickers of different negativity.
Frustration. Hunger. Disgust. Erratic.
Do not doom me to yet another
relocation by being careless, ant.

Miroru huffed with frustration at nothing apparent in particular.

"How would I approach it... hm. Well, if I had Suiton techniques, I might have a trick to move swiftly underwater. But since I don't... they're an established threat. It probably won't be too unusual if the ship gives up and allows themselves to be boarded. And once they do, we can strike, boarding their ship before they can endanger this one and sweep through any cannoneers before subduing the rest of the crew. If we can do so, the crew from the original ship can split up and sail both back, to turn over the pirates and claim the ship as their own!"

"cutting the lines". "Moral is too subverted to serve justice!" Kazuhira Tsukuru Wahei Lost in the way! There was some kind of mystery about those who carried in their bodies other forms of life beings. Although the boy wasn't a jinchuuriki and his personas had a... "different" (?)... kind of... power (?). People who has submitted to that level of experience were destinated to grow with another perpsective of the world. The inner and the external one, so to say. Meanwhile, like any other jinchuuriki, Miroru carried her - at the moment - unknown foxy intruder in her stommach, Wahei had her intruders located in his brain, sort of dividing it. If a single problematic mind sometimes was a lot to a brain to support, having at least 8 of them, being one splited, was something really hard to even conceive. That said, "bearing" was way beyond comprehension. Different from Miroru though, who recently had this life changing event of becomeing the bearer of external intruder within, Wahei has born - or literally being made - with it. Narutally, it was hard for a synthetic being to understand its purpose in life, since the meaning of life was something quite complex per se. - I'm afraid I haven't. Ever since I've... born... I was made to believe I've needed to serve a bigger purpose. - he said with shallow words. After all, he wasn't exactly allowed to talk about his origins. - Meaning that I didn't have the time or opportunity to such things as... fun or friends - he admitted. Until now it was pretty harsh for him to handle social things like conversating, bonding or even connecting to people. He wasn't exactly sure what a real human being wanted or expected from others in a genuine relationship standards - As the time passed by, I quite get lost in the way as this shinobi word tossed out my inocence, so to say - meaning it was ripped out from my inner-semblance. - it was heavy words, but this time the personas remained in silence, which was odd. She'd probably not be familiar with the concept anyway. - In part it was good, though. Made me stronger. I guess. "Wahei. There's something dangerous about this girl. We can trust it. And its aware about us. You should resign this mission. You should step alway from her" - "What? It? Wait... Why?" - "I can't talk exactly why. Call it a bad omen" - "It's not much like you, Wrath. Where this is coming from?" - "All I can say... is that the rest of us come to an agreement about this" - "I'm not" - "You're technically Wahei so you don't count" - "So what are we going to say though? 'Look, sweet light-pepper-hair, we have this little issue about sharing our brain with seven other folks and they quite don't like you because you stinks hatred. So... we are going to shut down our call of duty assignments but - hey - it was nice to see you again and sorry for calling you here for nothing!?' - Not to mention explaining it to the internal affairs" - "We can ask that Shinsuke dude to clean up the mess" - "This is ridiculus. I don't know what's wrong with you today, but I'm with Fear and we are going down for this mission like you or not. This is a final decision." - "Oh... watch out... bossy bitch is in town today". Not only Wahei seemed strangly different, but also did Miroru. Perhaps the personas were right and there was something he couldn't sense like they did. He could use his byakugan over and his skills to try to detect if it was really something going on, but trespassing this line would probably put their friendship at the stake. After all, friends trust each other. Right? Although everyone has secrets they are not willing neither obliged to share. So Wahei would not cross that thin line except if it was extremely necessary. - Your plan seems fine to me.  - "And how you pretend to approach Port City playing good guy after the Smugglers episode?" - "I have no choice, I can disclose operation metastasis to her. We have to play by the book and pretend we are the good cops this time" - it would be easier to simply shut it down with a command order, but being pretenders was part of his cat-mice chasing game - We can come up with further details when we get at Port City. Have you ever been there? - he asked, but already making a move so she could manifest if she was effectively ready to go. They still have a lot of road to take before getting there anyway so they'd better get started soon. "From the very moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain, suffering and misery. I was also blindly obsessed with a trivial and irrational need for vengeance. But I was left behind. Alone. Forgotten. Abandoned. Forsaken. But now, the fog has been truly lifted.

"So?" Miroru asked as Wahei shared about his bigger purpose. "That's no excuse! Everyone needs to live a balanced life. Training, rest, and relaxation. They're different things! Training- and working, of course!- helps build you up, but rest and relaxation refill your body and mind. Trying to force someone to build themselves up but denying them half of the chances to put their mind in order sounds... counter productive! That's a bad plan, Wahei-sama!" She frowned, grumpy. "I'd say this lifestyle you had to live chewed up your innocence way faster than it should have."

"It didn't make you stronger, Wahei-san. Maybe it gave you bigger metaphorical muscles, but it's like nobody ever let you drink milk. The skeleton of your life is crumbly like an old man's! They made you build bulk and starved your structure so it's hard to support. Like I said. Bad plan!"

The negative feelings are deepening. Mostly fear. They seem to be stabilizing, though. Remain on guard, ant. Do not make me protect myself.

Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.

"Aw, yay! Good plan is a go!" Miroru cheered, grinning. "Oh! Nope. Never been there," she confirmed as she started to follow along. "How far is it? Should I summon a fox or two to keep an eye out for us? Some of them are super sneaky!"

"cutting the lines". "Moral is too subverted to serve justice!" Kazuhira Tsukuru Wahei Destination: Port city! It was interesting that cold war purging among the Kyubi and the personas. The most intriguint part was that both Wahei and Ikana seemed to be unaware of the extention of the other condition so far. For how long, though, was a question only time would answer. Wahei saw in Ikana a friend, someone he respects and in a sort of way, also a teammate. - Your words are kind. Hope you best me in terms of sturdyness. - he said in shallow but gentle words. Wahei wasn't in the position to judge the young girl's life, but what have happened to him, he had to accept the fact that the world has beaten him strong enough to shatter his inner self into pieces. His essence or visions, though, were steeled resolve. But the methods and terms he had once inhert from Ahmia had died in that prison cell. Perhaps it was exactly how it was suppose to be. After all, he was now closer to his creation purpose than he ever thought he would. But he was in a mission now. And quite frankly, he has exposed himself pretty much more than he wanted to. - "Quit the bullshit and focus on what matters of your role. Clock is ticking" - That could be a good idea. It's a long trip though. Two days if we make a good pace - considering his and Shigure's rhythm, it was the least he expected. Perhaps having a mount would be a good thing for chance, even though he was not used to those kind of things. - I'd say we make 4 hours trip and small breaks. When the night fall, we take mount our camp next to a clearance placed halfway to our destination. We get up right before down and when the sun cracks, we will be close to Port city. - he seemed to have memorized well the route - Objections? We should hurry or we are going to get there out of schedule. - he rubbed the back of his head, but his tone was calm and serious. They weren't exactly late, but there was also nothing they couldn't discuss during the way. "Its not as though we are not going to have plenty of time for talk anyway". "From the very moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain, suffering and misery.

Miroru wasn't the sort to judge someone else based on the results of things done to them. After all, from a very real perspective, being made the Jinchuuriki of Konoha's Fox was something done to her. Not without her agreement, of course, but sometimes it felt like she'd been tricked or something. Things could get so hard. Struggling against her own negativity, bolstered by the fox's influence. Facing her own failures as they piled up and endangered her friends, her family, her village.

The only way to resolve that was to get stronger. Both on her own, and in her bond with the Fox.

"If there's anything I've learned, it's that everybody beats somebody at something. Maybe not the same thing for every match-up, but even a jill-of-all-trades like me can't beat everyone at everything. Genjutsu specialists can break illusions easier and inflict tougher ones, I'll never be as strong or fast as Taijutsu or Bukijutsu specialists- so it's more important to focus on what you can do and how you're reaching your goals rather than how the current you stacks up against the current people around you." She nodded confidently. "That's something Yamanaka-sama taught me!"

"No objections! Let's make the best time we can!" Miroru cried out, taking to a steady jog heading out. Perhaps surprising until Wahei recalls her generally advanced training, she was setting a pace both swift and doable for him, too- she seemed to be about as fast as any average chuunin! Not a buki or tai-trained chuunin, but still impressive!

"cutting the lines". "Moral is too subverted to serve justice!" Kazuhira Tsukuru Wahei Halfway there. Regardless of having or not the mountary mentioned by Miroru, the duo would start they travel and as soon as they started, the leaping tree to tree branch would start. The girl had get back to the previous subject as they were moving, and Wahei listened to her carefully. - You know where our greatest strength relies on? - he asked, rhethorically - In the fact that we know that our comrades and friends had different forms of skills, that can helps us to best any other foe that stood against or will of fire. - he seemed pretty much like Shigure, the one who has told him about that very principle. - So I couldn't agree more with you, even though there some fights we have to face on our own. - he gave her the proper credit, but also revealing an ugly truth of the shinobi path. At least the one he chose to himself. One way, or another, they would though continue at a nice pace and the girl had a swift move and coordination. - I'm used to follow Shigure's lead - even though this time he was the one leading - We can make it faster if you're ok - Wahei was not a specialist in taijutsu or bukijutsu, but thanks to his coexistence with Shigure and their harsh training to create and develop his pretty much concluded special ability - the Yuken - his performance has increased considerably, specially for a medic shinobi. In any way, they would travel until close to sunset. As it was a familiar route, Wahei won't need to use the byakugan frequently. - We can make it a day here - The chunin would call a stop at the mentioned clearing in the woods, making some preparations to set their camp and find resources, like on the last time he was there. - Can you help me with some arrangements? Or rather you go for setting up the camp while I deal with those things? - Wahei wasn't the bossy kind, so it was very common for him, even being from a superior hierarchic rank, to ask for Ikana opinion and let her decide the best way or at least what she wanted to do. Exploring her talkative nature to better learn how the young girl think, act and feel about general things was quite natural for him as part of his mission was learning about her, and how to use her in the best way possible to achieve their common objective. - I'll take the second shift. We can get back on the road as soon as the sun rises tomorrow. Okay? Have a good night, 'pep-p-erly'. - he said, leaning on a high tree branch to rest. "From the very moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain, suffering and misery.

"You're right- but... also a little not?" Miroru stated as they bounded along towards their destination. "You're completely correct that you have to stand against some things without others THERE- but that doesn't at all mean you're doing it on your own." She bounced between a couple more branches and spoke again. "Like... lots of us have struggles, conflicts, or challenges we can't let anyone else fix for us. But that doesn't mean they can't support us and build up the tools to fix it ourselves. That's not "on our own" at all! That's the power of the Will of Fire- allow a lit torch to touch another, and you double the light you can shed! You might still only get to bring one torch with you- but the torch you carry was passed to you by others, and they go with you in every way that matters."

She nodded cheerfully, and gave him a thumbs up! "I should be able to keep up with any pace you want to set!"

Soon enough, they were calling it a day and settling down. "Let me find what we need! I've got buddies that can help us do so!" Miroru crossed her arms to drag a shuriken point across the back of her hand, and proceeded to do two quick Summoning Techniques back to back, bringing up a pair of squirrel-sized foxes wearing ANBU masks of all things. "We'll find plenty of water and firewood! Do we need anything else?"

It wasn't long before Miroru was making trips back to the campsite with chunks of wood and kindling, and then snagged Wahei's canteen to refill it with her own at a nearby spring. "Don't worry! My friends will keep us appraised of the surroundings!" She said, patting the foxes on her shoulders as she finished setting up a hammock with her tarp and cord rope. "You can use the hammock until it's your watch, if you like! G'night, Wahei-sama!" She set out her battery powered lantern, switched off, beside her, so she could flood the campsite with light on a moment's notice if needed, and settled in for her watch.

An eye to watch through until the dawn. A reminder in the darkness, that the light is yet to come, and that the morning shall always rise, no matter how many times the night falls". And as in Fear's words, the morning light efectively came. Miroru's helpers certainly come in handy and thanks to them, it was way easier to make preparations for the night, grabbing supplies and more herbs and plants than when he went there with Shigure. Animals were natural survivors, and their connection with the enviorment was something beyond human comprehension. Fortunately, the same was valid for the night shift. It was, though, a pacific place and no threat was expect. So, the night smoothly passed, giving space for the cracking sun. - You-ready, Miroru-san? We are not far from Port City. - Wahei said, his things packed up and ready to go. This time, though, he would rather travel on his own, as the Port City approached, it would be better to disguise as regular travelers.  Getting there, the sensation of putting his feet there again, feeling the smell of the seas, it all were too recent and familiar for him, but Wahei's look was cold, lost in that moment, staring the blue horizon. - Oh, I'm sorry. We got here earlier than expected, but I guess we will probably find Kanezaka-san in the docks. There we are suppose to set the sails and monitorate the sea for new attacks - he explained, walking towards the city entrance and heading towards the center. - In my last time here, we managed to beat the hell out of some bad guys and Konoha has been executing some missions like that to guarantee the piece in the free trade sea routes. I'll send a shadow clone to make a side investigation just in case. - he made the seals and the clone showed up, but right after vanished heading towards the town center, where a certain warehouse was located. With no further due, Wahei and Miroru would meet Mr. Kanezaka at the docks as expected. - Hello! You must be, Kazuhira, isn't it? - It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. - he bowed in reverence, indicating Miroru to do the same - Oh. No need for such formalities, y'know. This is Captain Yosuke. - Hey! So, these kids are joining my crew? Are you sure they will guarantee the safety of my precious To-tomoe? What does brats know about boats and sailings anyway - Yosuke was a rough old man, owner of several boats, but he loved this one in particular which happened to had the name of his past daughter. - I've actually been in a boat before, but not as a member of the crew. But both me and Miroru are here to offer you the protection you need. We are also available to help, Yosuke-san. - Yeah. Right. We shall see if  some bunch of clean hands like you can help in anything. As long as you don't get in the way is already fine - Wahei bowed in respect. All and all, the Ship would sail with a small troop following it. The destination was a city far to the south, using the main litoranean sea route where some attacks has happened in the last few days. The first hours of the sailing would be smooth and clean, but at the horizon, a storm was approaching, and below the gray clouds, some black ships were sailing towards the frout with an old and tradition flag with a skull in its center, and two crossed swords. Not long after, a few more ships pretty much alike the first would also show up to intercept them. - Alright, you bunch of freaks and misfits. Hand over your goods, or prepare to a violent umid parrotaged death from the man's of the pinky-beard! Wahei give a look to Miroru. It was time for them to execute the plan. - Time for that infiltrating kick-ass plan. Our target is this pinky-beard or whatever he meant, which I assume is their leader. - All they needed to do was guarantee that all the pirates would be arrested, and the civilian crew and the goods would be safe and sound. "From the very moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain, suffering and misery.

Miroru entered the city on her own at Wahei’s direction, executing a quick Henge to hide her equipment and present more as a child wandering the streets on her own, properly dressed and comfortable in the city. Her own appearance was perfectly acceptable, but the Henge ensured she didn’t need to take off her gear to do so.

"Oh! You were here before doing some good work! That’s awesome! Careful with your "Friend”, though, they’re super fragile- gotta be discrete, or perfect, to keep them around!” Miroru offered, which might seem a touch strange- were Genin learning Kage Bunshin these days?

Since when did they have the chakra to make use of it?

Miroru bowed when prompted, unconcerned with the need for formality- or the dispensation for it a moment later! "It’s an honor to work with you, Kanezaka-sama!” She likewise smiled at the Captain. "Don’t worry, Yosuke-sama! We’ll keep your ship safe and sound!”

---

When push came to shove, Miroru had not counted on so many ships being present. "Actually… I hate to say it, but I think we need to have a change of plans. With so many ships, engaging in combat on or near the ship is going to incentivize attacking it. I think it would be better if we made a spectacle of ourselves approaching the closest ship and engage there, so it’s clear the To-Tomoe is not contributing to the fight, increasing the chance they’ll board to assist their allies on the front ship rather than engage this vessel.” She took a moment to invoke a relatively simple Kekkai technique, surrounding her body in a weak protective barrier, and then a more complex technique to channel chakra into her legs. "If you want to henge into a fuma shuriken or something, I can get you on board faster than I can get to it myself, and force them to split their efforts. I could also pitch you into the rigging so you can attack down onto them without being in melee reach. Whatever you decide- we’ll do.”

Once Wahei decided how he wanted to approach- on his own, or as a fuma shuriken to be hurled into the rigging or onto the deck- Miroru took off towards the enemy ships in a very notable streak of lighting tearing across the water’s surface, using the Act of Water Walking to send her blazing over the waves at ridiculous speeds for any Genin to achieve- and, if Wahei entrusted his delivery to her- hurled him nearly precisely where he asked to be, starting their offense on two fronts!

"Just don't give up on me! We can figure this out!"

"cutting the lines". "Moral is too subverted to serve justice!" Kazuhira Tsukuru Wahei After the storm. The fleet ahead of them got closer and started they movement to surround the group of vessels that accompany the To-Tomoe, which was substantially composed by merchant ships with a lack capacity of provide its self-defense. - This is a good idea. But I think we can combine your idea with an outnumber strategy. - Wahei indicated the black clouds raging above them, which started to pour a strong rain and wind agitating the sea. Wahei would use the water around to make several water clones, and few Kage Bunshin indicating Miroru to do the same. - They are merely bandits. My byakugan didn't spot any ninja around, meaning we can make this our own real life pirate playing. What you think? - he smiled at her, making a gesture so she could launch him and a few of his clones to the boat, but also offering a clone to launch her and clones of her as well. With Miroru level of skill and Wahei there using the byakugan, Yuken and the crab claw to cover the area, it got easier for them to damage the main vessel where the captain was now trying to run. - Go after him, I'll hold the rest of the crew. - they were just minions after all. Merciless Wahei would though enhance the range of his crabs and using the chakra scalpel in Yuken moves, it was time to sink them all - or at least as much as he could. With a couple of clones defending the merchant ships, what was suppose to be a defense turned out into a very accurate attack over the bandits, who'd soon be killed or captured by Miroru and Wahei. - They will have to answer for their actions now. Good job. Mission accomplished. - they would though accompany the merchant ships to the destination without further trouble. Getting there, they would be dismissed to get back to the village. ----- Wahei's kage bunshin remained at Port City, watching To-tomoe sailing towards their destination. -Such a waste of time and money, don't you think, Fear-san? - No, sir. This is an investment. Part of the business. - Speaking of, did you bring the document? - Of course I did. Otherwise, this facade would be worthless. Here it is. As you can see, signed by Keisuke-sama himself. - he pointed out the signature in a scroll, saying that Konoha would absent from interfering with the family organization, which now has a share over the smuggling and counterfeiting business in Port City. It was, obviously, a fake one, provided by the courtesy of the good and old Hatake Toshizo. - Though, as I've send you in that private note, we still need to show some good numbers to pay off the money we receive from clients and to stand a good relation with the Hi no Kuni authorities. In other words, every now and then you will have to send some facade fleets and smugglers, so we can keep the appearances and avoid questions. Is that clear? - Ha! As you said, small investments. Thanks to guys like you and the family, there are always some freaks and misfits for suicide jobs like this. Best part is they are pretty cheap. - That's fine. It is important that Yosuke leave this document to the high council. The brothers will be awaiting to formalize our deal. - Well. Those guys are hard pills to swallow. They do things in their own time, but don't worry. This meet will happen, and I'll be sure to get you right there on the spot. The brothers need someone like you to protect them, and at the moment the Vigilantes put their eyes on you, they probably will be very pleased and interested in what you have to offer. - I feel thrilled, though my loyalty belongs to the Family. - And mine to the money they pay me! As long as I can keep my mansions and wealthy in good piece, we are going to be best friends forever, kid! - he said, cracking one of his huge laughs. Wahei smiled back, and bowed asking permission to leave, which was granted. It would take some time for them to arrive and he be able to report his undercover mission to the foundation. ----  - W-who is there? - No point into introducing me to the dead. - Wait, what? Aren't you the one the family sent to get me out of this shit? I've played my part of the deal. Where is my promised money and freedom. - I'm not aware of any money. Now freedom... we can say I'm here to set you free... for good. - W-wait! N-no!!! I do demand an explanation! I-I AM-- the pinky-beard!! W-we h-had a deal!?! - Consider this, a courtesy of the family. - Y-you traitor piece of sh.  ---- The shadowed hooded man kneel down at the center of the crossed bridge. The man standing there waited for a report. - Everything followed according to our plan. The meeting will happen soon. The brothers are pleased, but intrigued and suspicious about who has killed the pinky-beard. Riot is start to purge because of the clime of treason. We must have news very very soon... Oh. The girl? Yes, she is fine. The fox though was somehow able to feel my personas, which is unusual but understandable. It's a quite powerful thing. Yes, they felt it too. No, I managed to keep an eye on her. It was pretty smooth, actually. Yes. I'll be around just in case. Keep an eye on her. I know. Yes, She is vital for the Leaf, indeed. I'll protect her with my own life, if needed. She happens to be part of the former Team 3, it's just it. speaking of... have you heard from Shigure? Is he fine already? Oh, I'm sorry, sir. Ok, Sir. Thank you, Sir.  - the figure bowed his head again and vanished into a poof of white smoke, leaving as fast as he arrived. Another score to the foundation.
