Family Reunion (Yen/IO)

Yen gazed out the window in thought for a moment as he had taken a break from the paperwork and the new ideas of the village. He loved the view as he was getting a second desk with the same view constructed in the office. An small expansion of the office and it was important. He needed it done.

So he was happy to see that his wife came with the now grown children. Yet they were nearly as tall as he was as yen floated towards hotaru with a smile and kissed her cheek softly. Doninng an stylish set of gold and black robes. The new kage was definitely looking stylish.

"Shh little ones. You must calm down pimp and twilight."

He spoke softly as he knew they were near the age for academy training, and of course he would be proud.

"Hota ill need to talk to you a bit more officially now. Because you too will be working hard."

He spoke a little more seriously as he rubbed pimp on the head and pointed down so the boy could sit.

The kids were indeed growing as he had observed them quietly for an moment. What they could do or be was the sky,but he felt an pang of pain imagining the pain or worse they could go through. He lost many and it was a fools dream to say he could just wave his hand and they will live blissful shinobi paradise.it only dawned on him that shinobi start young, and well unlike many. He was nowhere near blind to the reality.

"Yeah they are nearing that time.but i have faith in them. They will go far. Just how will they take to the reality they are walking into... i only wish it was easier."

Yen voice softend as he dropped his professionalism. Just seeing them in his office innocent, and not knowing they hold the dignity and honor of not themselves, but his village,himself,and the will of fire itself it was an painful realization that he had not prepared for. But now faced. The thought drew him to hotaru as she had fashioned up. But to say he was not enticed by her leather clothing did not break him from his duties.

Her request had him be bluntly hlnest now as he gazed at her quietly.

"They might want to head to volcano, but as established we will be honest hota. It is at the base minimum an chunin task. If not much higher you see. I have not forgotten that sephora has too disappeared, nor do i like it one bit. Not to mention without an clear established trade route we do not know the patterns of other parties."

Yens voice was soft but pointed out the flaws in the idea in the full picture. But then again he was not denying it either. It held many dangers, behind it which yen could see. Still he had a silver lining.

"I would hand pick thoes who can go, but an envoy will be set to allow this. Of hand picked and strong shinobi that will survey the volcano area snd its inhabitants. Once that is established you and the other konoha shinobi will be required to return. No questions asked and exceptions. I will summon you, and the others respectfully when preparations are set,but no one that is leaving is allowed to leave untill i give the ok. Which will be determined by how i will test each of you,and yes you hota are included."


Yen stated as he pressed his fingers together and took a breath. He did not like speaking blunt to her, but likewise she was his jewle. He could not see her hurt. Without knowing she was capeable.

"Remember that night when the others came here. Likewise i set several on them on such an mucb harder test the following day. The same will be done for you and anyone wishing to leave. The test of reality as it stands this day and age hotaru."

Hotaru made the personal pride point on her ranks vs the children, but that only made yen take a breath while sad he gazed at hota as she comtinued. Yes it was not going to earn him an extra set of peas on his dinner plate, and yes a kage might be put in the dog house,or in yens case the hive nest. But he had to look beyond that. His reply was simple

"It is good you show desire, but likewise any method of ranking up depends on the situation hota, and  yes it is very dangerous you see. Times have yes changed and it will require both sacrifice, grit, and strength of heart and will to do this."

Yen stated as he gazed in her beautiful blue eyes. His eyes held an level of seriousness behind them that spoke much more then usual, but then sgain he was her husband. The dangers that he presented spoke just the same.still he belived in her to the point he knew she could prevail somethings. Trained her a bit, but now she truly needed the test. Like his own children one day will be pressed by his own hand. Should he live.

"The first step hota is to answer this. What does it mean to be a chunin? What can you offer to the village? And finally what is the greatest weapon of an shinobi?"

Yen placed his hands on the desk as he gazed into hotarus eyes the basic fact being now if anything he would test her will now too. The protectiveness of an mother was strong, but she was an shinobi. Could she too hold the composure amid the deep question.

"Your combative abilities will be examined fully notary, from  chakra control, to the way you will handle yourself under the simulated pressure of the world outside,by either myself,or the ones i appoint. It is also wise to take some missions, and also instruct a bit to see how your leadership will fare. There are all sorts of shinobi hota, but when going in the ranks the bar to be an higher rank. More responsibilities.requires greater qualifications, and also showing of what you will do to save the village, your natiin,and its integrity."

Yens points were to the fact which if anything required much thought.

"It is why yes despite personal emotions you must understand that any that abanddined must be handled by my hand or those i trust.while primrose is at fault. So is anyone that leaves. It is why if they appear. Of vourse they must awnser properly to their faults."


To that yen would prevent a rebuttal.

"and yes we will be fair, on all accords to what is said. I take kindly more to thoes who would come to me or here. Vs me sending people to go and grab them. The same for people being sent. Sephora despite the peace she brought has not awnsered to her crimes.yes she can turn over a new leaf, but  it does not exclude her misgivings.  Nor make her actions better hota. The first step is getting the trust. Am i understood?"


His voice held a level of finality as it was the last word to that. But he looked down and sighed.

"This includes tori too. But should volcano prove loyal to its histories, and if any are there. It will be bumpy. But if it has changed. Im hoping prim is safe. She still has to return home. Like you did. Her actions and the others will speak louder then any written word. Lest volcano becomes an trusted ally. It will not be easy."

Yen stated softly as he had a glimmer of sadness in his single eye as he truly wanted them all go do what is right to grow as an shinobi wss not about just doing dangerous risky missions,but understanding and accepting the goal at hand.

"If you had to make a decision on your team and allies hota you must know that even in missions things go wrong. This happens. So what will you do? If saving the village, and children was in your hands. That is sometimes the impossible choice. How you make it and if you lived with it will make the difference. You seen what i had to do in all ranks. You one of the few that have seen both my darkness and light. Would you be able to do it too? Whether a nation stood before you, or your people scorn your decision?  Theanswer you give me determines many things hota. You wish to be chunin? Then you must understand a little big of what it means to be ready to be selfless for many. I want you to think carefully now."
