The Great Escape [P]

Mission:

The birds chirp as they greet the sun as it awakens from its deep slumber. As per usual, as the sun awaken, so does the rest of the world, the same goes for Ayumi. 

Dressed in her usual attire (aka a loose shirt and a pair of shorts), the kunoichi took a deep breath of the fresh air. As per usual, her team was assigned with a mission. The girl grimaced upon the thought before quickly shaking it off. Instead, she started to focus on her surroundings as a method of distraction.

A few minutes passed. Having decided that she was done talking a walk, Ayumi head towards her actual destination. The kunoichi rubbed her sleepy eyes as she trailed down the streets of Konoha, heading towards the village center. She had sent a notice to two of her teammates, Kirino and Kisuke. Apparently, a new genin was assigned to her team as Kotsuzui decided to participate in the Jounin exam. His name? Sento Senju. Admittedly, his name sounded familiar but she then again she wasn't too sure. 

Suppressing a yawn, her eyes started to water as the girl stopped by the famous ramen shop in town. Entering the shop, she ordered a cup of green tea. Might as well while she await for the arrival of her teammates, amirite? Until the arrival of her teammates, the female continued to slowly sip on her tea.

Sento awoke to the sound of loud knocking on his door, a situation he found himself growing to hate. Just once he’d like to wake up naturally and well rested after a day of training but it seemed the duties of a gennin were never ending in the hidden leaf. Getting up from his bed wearing nothing but a pair of boxers he’d slightly creek the door open showing nothing but his face to the young gennin that had come to deliver a letter. Sento reached his arm through the door and grabbed at it, curious as to what the letter with the official village seal on it contained.

As he opened up the envelope his yellow eyes would scan across the contents of the page and he’d be surprised to find that he had finally been assigned to a team. Seeing that the jounin that would be in charge of him was the very same one that had given him his gennin exam was a pleasant surprise as well. However the team assignment wasn’t all that the letter contained, at the bottom he saw a footer with a summons request and details on when and where to meet the team.

Not wanting to be late on his first official mission with his team the senju would quickly get dressed and grab his gear before bolting out the door and running towards the ramen shop that the letter had told him to arrive at. About two minutes before the team was supposed to meet he’d find himself turning the corner and recognizing the woman who had proctored his genin exam, and assumed that the rest of the team would be there shortly. “Uh… Hi” He’d mutter as he walked up to the woman. “I’m Sento”

The white haired Kaguya received her letter from the courier, she had been awake for hours and sensed the man’s presence as he stepped to the door. Hmm, another mission imagine that. Kirino would read the letter in silence, getting her pet fox some water and food for the day before moving out of the door. If Ayumi is leading I suppose it’ll just be her, Kisuke, and me because Kotsuzui is in Suna. The girl raced across the rooftops, with haste stopping on a rooftop that overlooked the ramen shop. She noted that it must be the meeting location as Lady Ayumi was there, but there seemed to be someone talking to her as well.


Kirino would walk gracefully down the side of the building. ”Good, morning!” She would say with a false smile, the smile would appear genuine however. The white haired girl would sit on the opposite side of the tea shop, no point in trying to stop the conversation Ayumi and the random guy were having. The jounin was aware of Kirino’s presence and that was enough for now. Earl Grey with a spoon of honey please.” She would say to one of the servers as they waited for Kisuke, he wouldn’t be long. He seemed like a capable enough person.

"That mutherfucker..." Mumbled Kisuke to himself while he strolled through the early morning streets of the Uchiha district, making his way towards the centre of the village. "He just had to go to that Jounin exam." With his left hand buried deep in the pocket of his leather jacket zipped wide open, his other hand would be raised towards his face. Slipping the cigarette held between in fingers into his lips, Kisuke would take a deep inhale before he pulled it away and continued his rant. "That weakling, trying to prove a point leaves me stuck here doing more missions with god knows who. I'm going to kick his fucking ass when he gets back. Piece of shit." As he finished his ranting, Kisuke frustratingly slipped the cigarette back into his mouth and slid his right arm into its corresponding pocket of his leather jacket.

Now out of the Uchiha district and into the main village the red haired Genin casually made his way towards the meeting point, letting the cigarette calm his nerves and ease his frustration. Throwing away the bud of his cigarette as it dwindled down to its last embers, Kisuke would pop a mint into his mouth. As usual it appeared he was the last one to arrive. Now at the centre of the village he spotted Ayumi sensei chilling as she usually did, this time in a tea shop. With swagger, Kisuke would rush his fingers through his red dyed hair and approach the group. "Ayumi Sensei, Kirino." Kisuke would say, giving each of them a nod. Rolling the mint around with his tongue, Kisuke would shift his cool gaze over towards the newbie. Sucking on the mint he asked "And who's this?"

As she was sipping her cup of tea, her peace was disrupted by a greeting directed towards her. Lifting her face, up she looked pointedly towards the owner of the voice. Have I seen him before..? she pondered to herself, before returning his greeting with a small nod. He looks familiar..

The kunoichi sat up straight and turned her body towards the male, "Hi, I'm Ayumi," she paused before continuing, "Your, uh.. sensei." It felt weird saying that. Making a mental note to never say that ever again, she ushered the boy towards a seat, "Have a seat while we wait for the rest to arrive. Order whatever you want; it's on me." Continuing to sip her tea, it wasn't long until Kirino arrived with a greeting. Addressing her, Ayumi's gaze followed the young girl as she plopped down on a seat and ordered a drink. Alrighty then.

Not long after Kirino's arrival, came Kisuke. Putting her tea aside, she acknowledge the boy and told him that he could order anything he wanted and that she'd pay for it. Just a little something-something for his hard work. Ayumi signalled all three of the genin to gather around her, "Okay, so... today's mission is simple: bring back three genin.. or well at least one of them. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but three genin have escaped the village and are heading towards the borders. Their crime? Killing an innocent man," she paused before continuing, "Now don't get any ideas. Please don't go around killing people in the future." Leaning back, she took another sip of her drink, "Anyway, all we have to do is hunt the three genin down and bring at least one of them back. Apparently they are heading towards a cave a few miles away from the border so that is where we will be heading."

Taking a deep breath, the girl would stand up and pay for the drinks (and whatever else was ordered) before the signalling her teammates to tag along, "Any questions?" Following the question, she would lead them to the country borders.

As sento waited on the stool at the ramen shop as ayumi instructed he wouldn’t order anything, not because he wasn’t hungry but because he thought it might be rude to accept such an offer. The woman seemed nice and he didn’t want to set a reputation as a freeloader on their first encounter. After all first impressions were everything, at least as far as sento was concerned. So instead he’d wait for the rest of the team to show up, surprised when a girl with hair as white as his walked up to the shop. Of course he suspected that she may be one of the other gennin on the team but he kept such suspicions to himself until it was confirmed.

The girl seemed to keep her distance for now though, so his suspicion seemed to fade until the next person walked in, he had black hair that seemed to be highlighted red and looked a bit punk rockish. The guy then confirmed the senju’s suspicion with his first couple of words. “Ayumi Sensei, Kirino” With the words he’d look first to the woman he was sitting next too. Not that, the information was new to him, he had already learned Ayumi’s name, but then he’d look to the white haired girl that had sat on the opposite side of the diner as he said Kirino, which gave Sento the names of all but the boy in front of him.

“And who’s this?”

The yellow eyed senju would pause for a second before giving a bit of a nervous answer, he wasn’t much of a social person. “Uum.. I’m Sento. Sento Senju, I was told to fill in for your missing teammate while he’s gone.” if the two gennin had any further questions he’d be happy to answer them but for now he’d turn toward Ayumi who had started giving the mission details.

It seemed they’d be retrieving some gennin who had murdered an innocent man. The news was slightly disturbing as Sento realized that this would potentially be his first combat mission but he displayed no fear as he processed it. He had no questions at the moment and kept his mouth closed as he looked at the other two members of the team, to try and guess what they might be thinking, overall Sento felt like a rookie in the midst of more experienced shinobi than himself.

The greeting by Kisuke, made Kirino drop her spoon into her tea with a soft clang. Huh, I didn’t think he would greet me along with Ayumi. ”Morning.” She would say with the same smile as earlier, before taking a sip of her tea.

As Ayumi gave them the details of the mission, she would move down closer to the group. Seeing as the conversation had become more of a group thing, that concerned her as opposed to a one on one talk. The details of which didn’t seem too important, but still it would have been rude to interrupt. Dibs on killing one! Kirino wanted to yell, as only one was to be spared for questioning. The white-haired girl didn’t want to seem to eager however. She knew she was strange, she didn’t need others to know as well. “They killed someone on their way out how stupid, of course a search for them would be conducted.” The Kaguya continued to listen, getting the goal of the mission and where they were heading. For this mission, they would be leaving the village.

As Ayumi paid for the drinks Kirino would bow. ”Thank you, lady Ayumi.” She would return to her upright position before answering the question. ”None from me.” If no one else had questions or if they did Kirino would wait for them to ask before moving next to the Senju.


”Sorry, for not introducing myself earlier I didn’t know you were joining our team, I guess. So, I didn’t want to bother your conversation. My name is Kirino Kaguya.” She would continue to walk along with the group. If Sento wanted to talk along the way, the girl would listen.

It appeared Kisuke startled Kirino by greeting her. Perhaps she wasnt expecting that to come from him. Kisuke wasnt a savage, he still had manners and greeted people upon arrival however that did not mean he was going to be friendly with them. He still wanted to kick Kirino's ass however that would be left to a later day. 

Kisuke would calmly shake his head in response to Ayumi's kind offer. He was not interested in having anything nor did he feel like eating again. He had eaten just before leaving his place and eating too much may be costly right before a mission. Getting cramps in the middle of the mission would be most unpleasant. 

Keeping his gaze on the newcomer as he shyly introduced himself, Kisuke would quietly nod a couple of times. "A Senju." He thought to himself while continuing to roll the mint around in his mouth. "Ill have worked with every Clan in the village before I rank up fuck." "Uchiha Kisuke." Was his response, taking his right hand out of his jacket pocket and raising his clenched fist towards the Senju, waiting for a fist bump. Kisuke didnt much care for other peoples feeling or being nice to other people however this kid was going to be on the same team as him therefore he didnt want him being nervous around him the whole time. A fist bump would hopefully ease his nervousness. 

Sticking his hand back into its respective pocket, Kisuke would tug down on his jacket with both hands as he listened to the details if their mission. "These cocksuckers killed an innocent man?" Kisuke responded once Ayumi had finished. "Do we have to bring them in alive or their.... status is not important?" Three cowardly Genin killing someone before making an escape probably werent the smarter of kids however they had to possess some sort of skill if they were able to slip out of the village. However it mattered not to Kisuke, killing an innocent man was unacceptable and the Uchiha would make sure to lay the beat down on them.

As the team made their way towards the country borders, Ayumi's face froze upon Kisuke's question. You see, it seemed as if none of the genin had any questions and Ayumi was relieved for a split second as she didn't have to answer questions. But then Kisuke decided to spit out a question.

"Do we have to bring them in alive or their.... status is not important?"

Killing those who took away the life of an innocent? The female wasn't too sure. Killing others would be going against her moral values. Furthermore, as a medical specialist, it would be somewhat ironic to kill others when her job is to supposedly save the lives of others. Walking in silence, the girl pondered to herself. She needed to fulfil her civic duties as a shinobi of the Leaf Village... so would killing be acceptable when done in the name of justice? Bringing her hands up against her temples, she massaged the points with her index finger. Decisions were (and still are) the bane of her existence.

Emotions shouldn't interfere with important decisions such as these.

"Kill if need be," the girl answered after a while before falling into her usual silence. Fast forward to the country borders, the team arrived to a secluded forested area. Delving deeper into the forest, the young jounin kept an eye on her surroundings before coming to a sudden halt, "Oh, please be on a lookout for a cave. Apparently they are there."

[Apologies for the extra meh post than usual; I'm tired and busy x.x Will NPC all 3 Genin after they've been discovered]

(OOC: Sorry this took too long, had a computer science exam and had to drop trigonometry, (also binging office atm))

Sento would of course give kisuke a fistbump, and the gesture was much appreciated. “An uchiha huh? Thats pretty cool” He had never met one before but after reading up on senju history had of course heard a lot about them. From what he understood the clan was powerful and he was looking forward to seeing the uchiha in action. “Nice to meet you.” He’d say before extending his fist in the same manner. It seemed the hidden leaf had a vast diversity of clans, he’d barely been a gennin a month now and he had already met a yuki, an inuzuka and now an uchiha.

As Kisuke began to ask about the mission he’d turn to kirino who had walked over towards him, and listened as she began to apologize for not introducing herself earlier. No worries. Conversation doesn’t bother me that much.. Looking forward to working with you guys. It was about at this time that he’d turn his head and heard the uchiha to the side of him as a pretty important question.

“Do we have to bring them in alive or their… status is not important”

Sento had never been on an actual combat mission before and thus had never had to question how he felt about killing, but was quickly realizing that could become a real possibility during this mission. He didn’t exactly have anything against it, he knew it was a necessary part of the job, but he really had no clue how he would feel about personally delivering a killing blow. Shaking the thought out of his head he decided there was no point in worrying about it now, and that he’d just have to find out in due time.

The team would follow the jounin Ayumi as she lead them deeper into the Konoha forest and Sento listened as she then gave the gennin permission to do what needs to be done if the opportunity presents itself, and to be on the lookout for a cave, as this was supposedly where they had been reported as hiding. The white haired senju would make a mental note to do just that and keep his eyes open and alert.
