Mitsui talks to his friend (Kozai)

Mitsui was outside a restaurant eating a sandwich. It was around noon, the sun was directly over the sky at the time. It was a little surprising at the lack of missing nin in the area. He thought that he would have had to fight by now. He was eating, wondering what to work on now. It seemed that he might be interested in some new hidden techniques. That would definitely help. He would be thinking over what he would do today, his apartment was definitely in need of being cleaned up. He had to pay the rent soon, and he probably had sufficient ryo to pay for it. He would wonder if he would be able to do the infiltrate Konoha mission. Maybe he could.

Kozai was also nearby the restaurant, but only because he was taking a walk. He didn't want to get stuck in any sticky situations, so he had avoided going into the restaurant. Sandwiches and cheese fondue tended to not be his most favorite thing in the world. It was at this point that his Coriolis Revelation spotted something interesting. Hey, was that...
"Ah, Mitsui!"
Kozai walked toward the man, his last subordinate from the old days. He smiled slightly.
"What have you been up to since we last met?"
His tone was much more friendly from before, since it seemed that Mitsui hadn't done anything stupid... yet.

Mitsui would be finishing up his lunch, as he would notice a huge chakra signature. He would look and see, Kozai, his leader from Iwagakure there. Mitsui had anticipated getting orders from him, and actually expected it. Instead though, Mitsui would see him come in and say in a friendly tone, "What have you been up to since we last met?" Mitsui had wondered that too. Mitsui would respond after thinking a second or so and say, "Not a lot actually, I have been learning some new medical techniques, a new ninjtusu and 2 new bloodlines. I got them from a friend, who I gave some stuff to for it. One of those bloodlines is not awakened yet, it seemed there was a sort of mistake. Mitsui at least probably did not do something stupid... yet.

Bloodlines.... well, it seemed that he had been busy. And, he was a medical ninja... just like Kozai himself and Youka. Indeed, it would appear that Mitsui was following a similar path to Youka... those black threads and hearts, and medical jutsu. Kozai needed to guide Mitsui down the right path before he went insane or became a tepid idealist.
"What bloodlines might these be?"
He would ask the boy, sitting down at one of the tables. It had an umbrella sticking out of the middle, as was customary in most outdoor restaurant establishments. He would note with Coriolis Revelation that the contours of one of the man's eyes was different than it had been before... a new doujutsu? Which one?

Mitsui was asked to explain his new bloodlines. Mitsui was surprisingly enough more trusting of this person then before. Mitsui would hear him ask about what these bloodlines are. Mitsui would say, "This eye" Mitsui would point to his Byakugan, "is a byakugan. It gives me the ability to see all around me, not just in front of me like normal eyes. Also, it adds a small boost to chakra and speed, as well as ability to see through objects. I also have a sage transformation clan kidney. This gives some interesting things to do with a body. I have not managed to get that DNA to assimilate with my DNA though, it seems, I need to figure out how to do that. Do you have advice on that?" Mitsui would wait to see what Kozai would say first.

Kozai nodded, considering what he had just heard. Considering that Mitsui knew the capabilities of these bloodlines, even though he hadn't bonded with one of them yet, it seemed that he had done his own bit or research. Sage transformation, huh? So, did this DNA have a connection to nature chakra, and if so, how did that allow someone to control body functions? Kozai would have to do a bit of knowledge chasing of his own.
"Hmm, advice? Well, if a transplant fails, and you're still alive, that's a good sign. Wait a bit, and your DNA should do some self-repair."
Kozai would hold up a single index finger as an indicator of... well, advice.
"Once that happens, the organ should bond by itself. If it doesn't, then keep waiting again. Eventually, it'll happen."
He returned his finger to its original position, then looked at Mitsui.
"So, did you enjoy the Land of Fire? I didn't find it too awfully stimulating."

Mitsui would remember to do the first thing after getting some help was to thank the person. Mitsui would say, "Thank you for the advice. I will wait for that organ to bond with my body. The land of fire was not to interesting. The food was good, but not that much really." Mitsui would wonder what he would need to say, when he would then realize and say, "How have you been recently?"

Mitsui would wait for a response.

Kozai mulled for about half a second, then spoke to Mitsui in a more solemn tone. Of course, it wasn't angry, but it was certainly serious.
"I've been fine, but... well..."
He hesitated slightly.
"I think we are at risk in the Land of Fire. I suppose it would be prudent to tell you that you... tend to cause a bit of trouble. You gave away my information to the Yukigakure residents, and aggravated a former ninja of that village. I believe that our presence here has angered the authorities in Konoha. Believe me when I say that these are NOT people you want to mess with."
Kozai mulled for another .25 seconds, then adopted a more comfortable position.
"You are to leave the Land of Fire immediately. If I see you there, I will assume that you have allied with Konoha to hunt me down. However, I trust you enough not to do this."
He gave Mitsui a look of confidentiality at this point.
"I will stay behind to erase our trail and deal with a few matters of... annoying people. Stealth is more of my specialty than yours, I'd imagine."
Now, Kozai would smile.
"Now, Mitsui.... aren't you curious as to where you'll be going next? I have just the place for you... a place where you can wreak havoc as you please."

Kozai's news shocked Mitsui. Dang, he did not see that coming at all. He was told that the Konoha Authorities were after Mitsui and Kozai. That was odd. It was rather unfortunate, since he has a girlfriend in Konoha now. Fortunately, she would not have to worry about that since they were dating, but no konoha authorities would know. It seemed, that she will have to make ends meet herself. Mitsui was also sad about that. Never the less, he would say, "Dang, that is really unfortunate. I did get told at the gates that I am a known missing nin, so I was surprised I did not have a fight there. What is this place that I get to run amok in? I am curious."

Hmm, had he not kept up with the situation in Konoha? Well then, that didn't matter now. Kozai knew exactly where he was sending Mitsui.
"Go to Amegakure no Sato; I know you've been there before, so I needn't supply directions." Indeed, he had gained such knowledge from reading Mitsui's mind.
"Someone, possibly a shinobi in the leadership, has made a travesty of the village, turning it into a charnel-house of...." Here, Kozai would shudder visibly.
"COSPLAY."
The anger on Kozai's face was also visible at this point.
"Go there, and find information on this person. Kill him or her, and report back to me. Do whatever is necessary; kill all who stand in your path."
