An started her day with the usual calm routine, a result of the disciplined habits instilled in her from a young age. The morning unfolded without any haste as she enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and exchanged pleasantries with her grandparents, proprietors of the family cafe. While they prepared for the day ahead, An set out with her brother, Shō. Their paths diverged not far from home, An veering right while Shō turned left.
[break][break]
The surprise that greeted An in the mission briefing room was palpable when she discovered her brother seated there. "Nii-san?" Her astonishment was evident, disrupting the initial proceedings. The briefing officer, a slightly older woman, wasted no time. "Good, both of you are here; we can start the briefing." An, regaining composure, took her seat, a faint blush hinting at her earlier outburst.
[break][break]
The mission details unfolded swiftly; a collaboration between a temple and the two siblings, chosen for their artistic abilities. Shō, a Shamisen player, and An, skilled in traditional dance, were tasked to join a temple entourage for a noble's child's birthday blessing ceremony. The mission required a genin with a youthful appearance, making An the ideal candidate.
[break][break]
"I understand. Let's go, Nii-san," An affirmed, securing her uchigatana by her side. The siblings headed towards the eastern gate, anticipating the customary paperwork and ID verification before embarking on their joint mission.

An can grow, shape, and manipulate all forms of fungi, including but not limited to yeasts and mold, along with poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, thanks to the Gurē clan's KKG. An has the ability to grow fungi on just about any surface. Because An’s genetic makeup is more similar to that of fungi than that of humans, she can use techniques based on Fungi anatomy, such as secretions or enzymes from various Fungi. She can easily generate or grow any part of a Fungi's anatomy from her own body by using chakra to further alter her own cells. Finally, because these techniques are made from her own cells or bodily fluids, such as converting her saliva into a specific Fungi secretion, An is immune to their effects.

As a member of the Gurē clan, An has gained the potential to combine her body with flora and the ground itself because of the similarities in her genetic makeup to fungi. She is able to link her chakra to the underground network of organic matter, which includes plant roots, water veins, and decomposing materials. For example, An can hide in things like trees, shrubs and roots, soil, and so on. Once fused, not only is her presence completely hidden and only felt by those with chakra recognition, but it also allows her to travel within the subterranean web of organic matter up to 1 km before needing to emerge.

An possesses significantly larger and more formidable chakra reserves compared to her peers. This advantage enables her to execute various jutsu without rapidly depleting her chakra, granting her a distinct advantage in combat situations and the capacity to maintain prolonged, intensive chakra utilization. Consequently, she can employ advanced techniques for extended durations surpassing the capabilities of most individuals within her rank.

As Shō passed by the bustling mission centre, a habitual curiosity drew him inside, seeking intriguing missions to embark upon. He had been getting rusty from all the breaks and rest he had recently. The majority failed to captivate his interest until his eyes landed on a particular assignment distinguished by a striking red wax seal.
[break][break]
The mission, bearing the enigmatic "SECRET" stamp, had most of its details hidden until one committed to its undertaking. This precautionary measure was aimed to safeguard the vital information, mostly concerning investigations or capture missions, from being available to the public and potentially alert the targets.
[break][break]
After some careful thoughts of its significance, Shō, as a responsible Kirigakure shinobi, gently tore the poster from the board, before making his way to the mission counter. "Hello. Gurē Shō reporting to duty." He greeted the receptionist before passing the mission poster in exchange for the details.
[break][break]
To his astonishment, he discovered that his partner for the mission was none other than his sister, An. "An?!?" he exclaimed in surprise, quickly composing himself as the receptionist prepared to debrief them. Turned out, the assignment was a rare infiltration mission to collect evidence against a tax-evading nobleman. Both of them were also required to assume the guise of a shrine performer during the noble child's upcoming birthday celebration. It was extremely urgent, as the festivities loomed a mere week away, which had yet to take travel time into account.
[break][break]
As the debriefing concluded, Shō couldn't contain his excitement any longer. "Can't believe we'll be partnering up so soon. Let's give it our best." he exclaimed, breaking into a rare display of enthusiasm. With that, the sibling duo exited the village, ready to meet their mission provider and embark on the challenging assignment ahead.

As they made their way towards the eastern gate, uchigatana secured at her side, An reflected on the significance of the mission. It wasn't just a performance; it was a covert operation to gather evidence against a tax-evading nobleman. The urgency of the assignment, with the birthday celebration just a week away, added a sense of pressure, but An was determined to execute the mission flawlessly.

Glancing at Shō, she nodded in agreement with his enthusiasm. "Let's give it our best, Nii-san," she affirmed, a quiet determination in her voice. The siblings continued on their path, ready to meet their mission provider and face the challenges that awaited them in the execution of this intricate and important assignment.
[break][break]
Exiting through the eastern gates marked a departure from An's usual routine, and her gaze wandered with curiosity over the unfamiliar surroundings. It was her first time venturing beyond those gates, and the novelty of the experience heightened her awareness. An took in the sights, absorbing the details of the landscape that stretched before her. Her eyes flickered from one detail to another as she walked alongside Shō.
[break][break]
As they continued their journey towards the temple, An couldn't shake the nervous flutter in her stomach. Glancing at Shō, she hesitated for a moment before finally voicing her concerns. "Nii-san," she began, her tone a mix of curiosity and apprehension, "have you ever been on a mission like this before? Do you think I will do well? Maybe, you have some tips?"
[break][break]
Her gaze searched his face for any hints of experience or reassurance. An was acutely aware of her nerves, the weight of the mission resting on her shoulders. The prospect of assuming a role in a covert operation, especially one involving infiltration and the collection of evidence, left her feeling a bit overwhelmed.

While walking toward their destination, Shō noticed and sensed his sister's mixed emotions. Was it nervousness? Shō could empathise, recalling the feelings he experienced during his own first ever mission. Not wanting to exacerbate her nervousness, he engaged in some casual conversation, hoping to ease the tension, until An, perhaps feeling a need to express her thoughts, finally voiced up.
[break][break]
"Nervous?" The elder brother asked with a gentle tone. With a reassuring smile, he continued, "It's natural, especially for your first mission of this kind. The tip is to believe in yourself. You have trained hard, so don't worry about it and stay calm. Onii-san will always back you up if anything were to happen." Shō ended it with a light tap on her head, and then surprisingly noticed that his sister had grown a little.
[break][break]
"Oh, look at our An-chan, growing up." Shō remarked with a light giggle, attempting to ease the tension in his sister's body. Despite her petite stature, she was still a child, after all, merely ten years old. The thought lingered in Shō's mind as he considered the appropriateness of a ten-year-old engaging in a C-ranked mission. While it was a common practice in Kirigakure to push young shinobi, aiming to produce more skilled individuals, the drawbacks were apparent, with a higher toll on the lives of children.
[break][break]
To be honest, Shō was worried about his sister, yet he couldn't afford to reveal his anxiety in the presence of a nervous child. "Stay calm. I just need to ensure her safety at all times." he reassured himself internally. Before they realised it, they reached the stairs leading to the temple, where a few figures at the top held red letters, signifying them as the mission providers. After a brief exchange, they were handed garments for a change.
[break][break]
"Shall we?" Shō motioned towards the restroom, indicating to An that it was time to change. He then headed to the other side to switch into his disguise.

The weight on her shoulders seemed to ease a bit, and a small smile played on her lips. "Arigatou, Nii-san," she whispered, grateful for his support.
[break][break]
As they approached the temple, the nerves returned, but she was determined to face the challenge head-on. Shō's attempt to lighten the mood with a playful comment about her growth brought a genuine giggle from An. His presence was a source of strength, and she felt fortunate to have him by her side.
[break][break]
The stairs leading to the temple loomed ahead, and as they received the garments for their disguises, a mix of anticipation and excitement filled the air. An glanced at Shō, exchanging a silent understanding before they headed towards the room to change.
[break][break]
In the quiet moments as she changed into her disguise, An reflected on the significance of this mission. It was more than just a test of her skills; it was an opportunity to prove herself in the eyes of her superiors. As she adjusted the unfamiliar attire, she reminded herself of Shō's advice to stay calm and believe in her abilities.
[break][break]
An and Shō completed their disguise transformation, adjusting their garments to blend seamlessly with the temple procession. The unfamiliar attire felt like a second skin, and An couldn't help but marvel at the effectiveness of their disguises. She stole a glance at Shō, who, despite the change in appearance, still emanated an air of confidence that reassured her.

As they stepped out of the room, they seamlessly merged with the temple procession making their way towards the noble mansion. The rhythmic sound of footsteps and the ceremonial chants of the procession created a backdrop that masked any underlying tension. An kept her gaze focused ahead, absorbing the details of the surroundings while maintaining the poise expected of a participant in the sacred event.
[break][break]
The journey towards the noble mansion was both fascinating and nerve-wracking for An. The anticipation of what lay ahead heightened with every step. The streets were lined with curious onlookers, unaware of the covert mission unfolding within the seemingly innocuous procession.

As a member of the Gurē clan, An has gained the potential to combine her body with flora and the ground itself because of the similarities in her genetic makeup to fungi. She is able to link her chakra to the underground network of organic matter, which includes plant roots, water veins, and decomposing materials. For example, An can hide in things like trees, shrubs and roots, soil, and so on. Once fused, not only is her presence completely hidden and only felt by those with chakra recognition, but it also allows her to travel within the subterranean web of organic matter up to 1 km before needing to emerge.

An possesses significantly larger and more formidable chakra reserves compared to her peers. This advantage enables her to execute various jutsu without rapidly depleting her chakra, granting her a distinct advantage in combat situations and the capacity to maintain prolonged, intensive chakra utilization. Consequently, she can employ advanced techniques for extended durations surpassing the capabilities of most individuals within her rank.

The strict upbringing and teachings in various seemingly pointless arts by his paternal grandparents seemed to serve a purpose for once. "Pretending to be an entertainer, huh?" Shō remarked at the instrument he was holding. It was a shamisen, a three-stringed traditional musical instrument derived from the ancient instrument sanxian.
[break][break]
In addition to the shamisen, Shō was proficient in playing the bachi and koto at a decent level. Among them, the koto held a special place in his heart due to the beautiful melodies it could produce. He wasn't complaining though, understanding that this wasn't actually a performance, but a mission.
[break][break]
Traversing the snowy landscape for what felt like an eternity, they finally arrived at their destination - a small village in the East, bustling with life. Following the group's rhythmic footsteps and chants, Shō observed the surroundings attentively, from the village entrance to the inner workings of the noble mansion.
[break][break]
His eyes keenly scanned the area, assessing potential points of interest or danger. The village, though modest, exuded a charm of its own with bustling streets and curious onlookers. Shō maintained his composure, his fingers lightly plucking the shamisen as he kept pace with the procession. As they approached the noble mansion, Shō's mind shifted into a heightened state of awareness.
[break][break]
They were initially directed to a backroom for preparation, and once ready, they would showcase their first performance in the huge living room before the noble and his family. "Are you ready for the mission?" Shō asked his sister, gauging her composure to ensure she wasn't succumbing to panic. With two to three hours, at best, between the first and last performance, every moment had to count.

As An seamlessly joined the procession of mikos, her keen eyes scanned the surroundings for any unusual signs. Following the group toward the mansion, she noted the seemingly lax security. However, her observational skills kicked in, revealing a peculiar sight—a gathering of guards emerging from a less-guarded annex at the back of the mansion. Her instincts tingled, prompting her to consider this secluded building as a potential focal point for investigation.
[break][break]
Casually proposing her observations to Sho, she suggested, "I am. Sho-niisan, did you notice the separate annex with a swarm of guards exiting? The door even boasts a hefty metal lock. Perhaps that's where we should start our investigation."
[break][break]
As they awaited their turn in the waiting room, An sketched out a plan. "I've been honing my fungi techniques, particularly in making substances that can corrode metals. I could rust away the lock, making it easier for us to access that annex discreetly. What do you think?" Her proposition aimed not only to uncover the mysteries within the mansion but also to create a more accessible entry point for future exploration.
[break][break]
An's strategic mind worked efficiently, seizing the opportunity for reconnaissance during the remaining time before their performance. She and Shō could gain insights into the enemy's activities while simultaneously ensuring a smoother ingress into the suspicious annex.

An can grow, shape, and manipulate all forms of fungi, including but not limited to yeasts and mold, along with poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, thanks to the Gurē clan's KKG. An has the ability to grow fungi on just about any surface. Because An’s genetic makeup is more similar to that of fungi than that of humans, she can use techniques based on Fungi anatomy, such as secretions or enzymes from various Fungi. She can easily generate or grow any part of a Fungi's anatomy from her own body by using chakra to further alter her own cells. Finally, because these techniques are made from her own cells or bodily fluids, such as converting her saliva into a specific Fungi secretion, An is immune to their effects.

Shō was slightly taken aback by An's observational skills, realising he might have been overly concerned for nothing. "You have grown up, An." he remarked with a pat on her head, acknowledging her maturity with a warm smile. "Let's start from there then."
[break][break]
As Shō pondered the best approach to explore that place, An surprised him again with an idea. She introduced her new kekkei genkai technique that revolves around metal-corroding fungi.
[break][break]
"Oh?" His eyebrows raised in surprise, and then a flicker of light crossed his mind as he recalled such special fungi from some old books. Believe it or not, it was something he had read a few weeks ago as he was planning to research it to infect humans. It was a project he had undertaken in Kamenoko Mamori, and with past experience on how he had mutated the cordyceps fungus, which usually only infects insects, he had confidence in its success.
[break][break]
Realising he had gone off-topic, he quickly refocused his mind on the mission. He nodded and agreed to his sister's approach. While there might be other options that could work better, Shō felt that this was too good of an opportunity to pass up for An to put her skills into practical use. Experience is the best lesson after all.

"Very well then, Nii-san, why don't you create a clone in my place, instruct it to use the Henge technique, and have it stay here? In case they come back and check if everyone is present, the clone can serve as a decoy. Meanwhile, I will use Henge to transform myself into one of the guards, to get closer to the door unnoticed" An suggested.
[break][break]
Following her plan, An utilized the Henge technique and then executed the Sunshin no Jutsu to vanish from the room. Her objective was to get outside unnoticed. Once there, she found a secluded corner and performed a single handseal to merge seamlessly with the earth using the Iko technique. This allowed her to traverse the terrain and approach the building she had identified earlier. Choosing a strategic location behind the structure, away from prying eyes she emerges. Fortunately, the area was devoid of people, enabling her to move closer to the target door. Standing before it, she carefully applied a small amount of her secretion containing metal-corroding fungi onto the lock. Afterward, she merged with the ground once again and retraced her steps.
[break][break]
The entire operation was swift, and An returned to the room unnoticed. She dispelled the transformation before rejoining her brother and the others. With confidence, she approached her older brother, Sho, and reported, "I've completed the task. Now, we just need to wait for the lock to corrode; it should be done by the time we finish our first performance."

Shō nodded with a smile, a proud smile crossing his face as he acknowledged his sister for her growth. The idea was simple yet effective, and the fact that it originated from a ten years old made it all the more impressive.
[break][break]
With a few hand seals, Shō created a shadow clone of himself. He instructed the clone to use the Henge no Jutsu and transform into An. With delicate chakra control, Shō ensured the transformation was remarkably stable and realistic. "She" could even move around to be more like a real person without exposing any clear sign of being a clone. Although not perfect, it was more than sufficient to deceive anyone not intentionally scrutinising the person.
[break][break]
As the shadow clone assumed An's form, Shō positioned himself and the clone at the far back, ensuring that the chance of getting found out was minimised. "Better safe than sorry..." he thought. His overly cautious approach might be too much as An returned to the room without any incident. "Good job." Shō muttered as he dispelled the clone.
[break][break]
They soon made their way to the noble to perform as planned. Shō, maintaining his calm demeanour, played his instrument in harmony with everyone, creating a marvellous piece of music that even the snobbish nobles couldn't complain about. Their primary focus now was to play their best, ensuring their cover remained secret. After the first performance, they would have a break to capitalise on so they can complete their mission.

As Shō skillfully plucked the strings of the shamisen, An seamlessly executed her duties as the Miko. Engaged in the graceful dance performed by a group of young girls, she exhibited not only her proficiency in intricate movements but also an acute awareness of her surroundings. Amidst the rhythmic cadence, An discreetly observed the assembled guests, committing their faces and names to memory – a meticulous task subtly interwoven with her performance, destined for inclusion in the subsequent mission report.
[break][break]
An's adept multitasking was not merely a coincidence; her familiarity with the dance and the sacred rituals stemmed from her active involvement in her hometown's local shrine. This background not only imbued her with a natural ease in executing the prescribed movements but also instilled a deep understanding of the cultural nuances associated with the performance.
[break][break]
As the final notes of the first act echoed, the ensemble retreated to the waiting room, where the air crackled with anticipation. Now, the stage was set for the next phase of their mission, and An's focus sharpened. "Sho-niisan, I think it best if you could make clones of us while we are away, just in case," she whispered to Sho, as they were leaving the room to head to the suspicious building that An had previously gone to.

真菌操作| Shinkin Sōsa [lit.Fungal Manipulation]
[break][break]
An can grow, shape, and manipulate all forms of fungi, including but not limited to yeasts and mold, along with poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, thanks to the Gurē clan's KKG. An has the ability to grow fungi on just about any surface. Because An’s genetic makeup is more similar to that of fungi than that of humans, she can use techniques based on Fungi anatomy, such as secretions or enzymes from various Fungi. She can easily generate or grow any part of a Fungi's anatomy from her own body by using chakra to further alter her own cells. Finally, because these techniques are made from her own cells or bodily fluids, such as converting her saliva into a specific Fungi secretion, An is immune to their effects.
[break][break]
共生遺伝学| Kyōsei Iden-Gaku [lit.Symbiotic Genetics]
[break][break]
As a member of the Gurē clan, An has gained the potential to combine her body with flora and the ground itself because of the similarities in her genetic makeup to fungi. She is able to link her chakra to the underground network of organic matter, which includes plant roots, water veins, and decomposing materials. For example, An can hide in things like trees, shrubs and roots, soil, and so on. Once fused, not only is her presence completely hidden and only felt by those with chakra recognition, but it also allows her to travel within the subterranean web of organic matter up to 1 km before needing to emerge.
[break][break]
蒼波| Sōha [lit.Blue Wave]
[break][break]
An possesses significantly larger and more formidable chakra reserves compared to her peers. This advantage enables her to execute various jutsu without rapidly depleting her chakra, granting her a distinct advantage in combat situations and the capacity to maintain prolonged, intensive chakra utilization. Consequently, she can employ advanced techniques for extended durations surpassing the capabilities of most individuals within her rank.

Shō smiled and allowed An to lead in this mission. It was a wonderful opportunity to hone her skills after all. He then quickly created two clones, with one transforming into his sister's appearance using transformation technique. However, instead of joining An for the infiltration, Shō directed his clone to follow her. "Nii-san will stay here." he muttered.
[break][break]
Deliberately withholding his rationale, Shō intended to test his sister's understanding of the shinobi arts and teach her how to employ them effectively. "I will test her knowledge once we are done with the mission." He thought, while carefully cleaning his musical instrument.
[break][break]
…
[break][break]
The clone then swiftly followed An to the suspicious building, where the durable lock had become loose enough for them to unlock it easily. CloneShō and An entered the building, wasting no time in scouring for evidence. However, the clone routinely listened for outside sounds, prioritising safety instead.
[break][break]
While his usual emphasis on safety might seem excessive, this time it proved fruitful. One of the guards was approaching, prompting Shō to halt his activities and cast a genjutsu. An invisible chakra barrier expanded from him, covering up to twenty metres. To anyone caught by the genjutsu, the door would appear to them securely locked, with no traces of anyone entering. It was a deft manoeuvre to ensure their covert mission remained undetected.

As the clone Shō diligently stood sentry outside, An ventured deeper into the dimly lit, frigid tunnel reminiscent of a desolate basement. An's steps echoed softly against the cold stone walls as she proceeded cautiously, keenly aware of the potential presence of additional guards lurking in the shadows. Fortunately, her path remained unimpeded by any further encounters.
[break][break]
Upon reaching a chamber filled with an array of weapons stores, An performed the three handseals needed for the Shinkin Sesshoku [Fungus Feeding] Jutsu, gathering chakra in her mouth and harnessing the power of her fungal symbiosis to secrete enzymes that would gradually corrode the metal arms and render them useless. With a satisfied smirk, she continued her exploration, eventually stumbling upon a room strewn with a multitude of papers and documents.
[break][break]
Methodically sifting through the papers, An's keen eyes quickly identified the crucial documents they had been seeking. Swiftly gathering them up, she tucked them securely under her arm before retracing her steps back to the entrance of the tunnel where the clone Shō awaited.
[break][break]
After briefing the clone Shō on the situation, the duo securely closed and locked the door behind them, ensuring that their presence remained undetected. With the mission accomplished, they made their way back to the real Sho, who stood patiently awaiting their return, before the second and last performance of the day.

While An was busy searching through the room for evidence, a few sentries walked past the corridor. Their shadow would have alerted them if not for the illusion cast by Clone Shō. Thanks to the genjutsu, the room appeared perfectly normal in their eyes, since they were within the range of his genjutsu.
[break][break]
Once An completed her task by finding the evidence of fraud and corruption, they left the room. However, Clone Shō didn't follow An back; instead, he dispelled himself. Following the shadow clone rules, the experiences of the clone returned to the original user.
[break][break]
This was precisely his plan. There was no point risking himself getting caught, especially since a shadow clone could be dispelled at will. It was a tactic he aimed to impart to his sister, though it wouldn't be applicable in this situation, where one needed to use the real body to secure the documents. But he believed it would be useful in her future missions.
[break][break]
With An back at his side, they continued with their performance. If it were an urgent mission, Shō might have suggested passing the information to a clone and using Iko to travel outside undetected before contacting the for reinforcements. However, since time was not of the essence, Shō decided against it and proceeded to join the performing team for the second act.

With the documents safely in their possession, An and Sho resumed their roles in the upcoming performance, her outward demeanor calm and composed despite the adrenaline still coursing through An's veins. As they took to the stage once more, An couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards her brother's calm demeanor.
[break][break]
After the final curtain fell on their performance, An and Sho gracefully bowed to the applauding audience before making their way backstage. The adrenaline rush of their mission still lingered, but they remained composed as they swiftly changed out of their costumes and prepared to depart.
[break][break]
Exiting the manor, they returned to the temple. An took a moment to express her gratitude to the temple staff for their cooperation, acknowledging their invaluable assistance in ensuring the mission's success. With sincere thanks exchanged, they bid farewell to the staff and set off towards Kirigakure, the documents safely tucked away in Sho's possession.
[break][break]
The journey back to their village was uneventful, allowing An and Sho time to reflect on the events of their mission. Upon their arrival in Kirigakure, An and Sho wasted no time in reporting to their superiors. With the documents securely handed over, they provided a detailed account of their mission, outlining the corruption and fraud they had uncovered.
[break][break]
"Good job, nii-san. Let's head home," with a job well done the two headed back home.

真菌操作| Shinkin Sōsa [lit.Fungal Manipulation]
[break][break]
An can grow, shape, and manipulate all forms of fungi, including but not limited to yeasts and mold, along with poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, thanks to the Gurē clan's KKG. An has the ability to grow fungi on just about any surface. Because An’s genetic makeup is more similar to that of fungi than that of humans, she can use techniques based on Fungi anatomy, such as secretions or enzymes from various Fungi. She can easily generate or grow any part of a Fungi's anatomy from her own body by using chakra to further alter her own cells. Finally, because these techniques are made from her own cells or bodily fluids, such as converting her saliva into a specific Fungi secretion, An is immune to their effects.
[break][break]
共生遺伝学| Kyōsei Iden-Gaku [lit.Symbiotic Genetics]
[break][break]
As a member of the Gurē clan, An has gained the potential to combine her body with flora and the ground itself because of the similarities in her genetic makeup to fungi. She is able to link her chakra to the underground network of organic matter, which includes plant roots, water veins, and decomposing materials. For example, An can hide in things like trees, shrubs and roots, soil, and so on. Once fused, not only is her presence completely hidden and only felt by those with chakra recognition, but it also allows her to travel within the subterranean web of organic matter up to 1 km before needing to emerge.
[break][break]
蒼波| Sōha [lit.Blue Wave]
[break][break]
An possesses significantly larger and more formidable chakra reserves compared to her peers. This advantage enables her to execute various jutsu without rapidly depleting her chakra, granting her a distinct advantage in combat situations and the capacity to maintain prolonged, intensive chakra utilization. Consequently, she can employ advanced techniques for extended durations surpassing the capabilities of most individuals within her rank.
