Hyōmi and Shouki Kumori had arrived with haste, their orders leaving no room for delay. News of a group captured at sea—individuals who had overpowered Kirigakure shinobi—had been dispatched directly to the two senior members of the Suiryu Tenshukaku Hogo. A largely secret organization of Kirigakure’s finest, the Hogo existed in the shadows, handling threats that required quiet precision and unforgiving efficiency. The very idea that these criminals had bested their shinobi, however briefly, was an affront that could not go unanswered.[break][break]
Hyōmi had ensured their departure was swift. There was no time to deliberate; such a transgression demanded immediate action. These cretins would not be left to linger or plot further insult. They would be taken to The Garden, where they would meet their inevitable fate. To Hyōmi, this was not just a matter of duty—it was a matter of order, of control. Letting this insult fester was simply unacceptable.[break][break]
The two shinobi travelled in a small, discreet vessel, chosen specifically for its agility and stealth. Its size allowed it to slip through the waves unnoticed, and yet it was large enough to comfortably hold the prisoners for the duration of their transport back to The Garden. Every detail had been considered; there was no room for error. These prisoners were dangerous, and while subdued for now, Hyōmi knew better than to trust appearances. Danger often lingered in the quiet moments, waiting to strike.[break][break]
The dark expanse of the ocean surrounded them, vast and unknowable. The night sky seemed to swallow the world whole, its black depths broken only by the faint glow of the moon and stars. Hyōmi stood at the edge of the vessel, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon. It was a darkness unlike any other, one that seemed to press in on all sides.[break][break]
Ahead, the watchtower broke through the night, catching the faint light of the moon. Its ocean-slick stones gleamed against the waves, an isolated sentinel in the vast sea. The criminals were waiting there, subdued by Kirigakure’s shinobi. The prisoners had made their first mistake in crossing Kirigakure. Their second, she suspected, would come the moment they saw the stars above and realized the sea was their only chance at escape. But it wouldn’t save them.[break][break]
"Be prepared," Hyōmi warned, her voice calm but edged with steel. She didn’t glance at Shouki Kumori as she spoke; her gaze remained on the watchtower growing steadily larger in the distance. Despite being his subordinate on paper, she rarely gave him deference, and Kumori didn’t seem to mind. They had worked together for years in their positions, and while Hyōmi’s rank was technically beneath his, their dynamic had always been one of quiet equilibrium. She respected his experience, but she had never felt the need to bow before him. Hyōmi trusted him to do what was required without hesitation. Together, they had overseen operations far more delicate and far more brutal than this.[break][break]
Even so, Hyōmi’s focus remained sharp. She had little faith that the prisoners would go quietly. While the shinobi at the watchtower had succeeded in capturing them, Hyōmi had no illusions that their victory would hold once the criminals were out at sea. With only two caretakers aboard their vessel, the prisoners might see an opportunity to act. The sea offered many advantages to those willing to risk the depths, and desperate men often made reckless choices.[break][break]
Reckless choices that would end poorly for them, Hyōmi thought coldly, her grip tightening slightly on the railing. Should they attempt to escape, she would ensure their regret was as absolute as their failure.[break][break]
As they approached the watchtower, the faint sound of waves breaking against stone reached her ears. The tower itself rose like a sentinel from the water, a testament to Kirigakure's reach into even the most isolated corners of the sea. Two shinobi stood waiting at the dock, their silhouettes illuminated by flickering lights. They moved quickly to secure the vessel as it pulled alongside the tower, their faces marked with quiet relief at the arrival of reinforcements.[break][break]
Hyōmi stepped lightly onto the dock, her ice-white robes shifting slightly in the sea breeze. Her expression was as calm and unreadable as always, though her presence carried a weight that silenced any greetings or unnecessary pleasantries.
