Vermin come out to Play

It seems the female of the shinobi had began to react to Kizmaru's hand signs when he started making his hand signs. The female made a single hand sign of 'Tiger' in order to activate the hidden mist technique. Once the female completed her action and it was activated, the pink haired boy also began to make his move of starting his strange martial arts stance, for some odd reason. It seems like he was beginning to get into a stance of some kind in preparation to launch an attack towards Kizmaru. What a strange choice to decide to react to this kind of situation. Once the female had finished activating her technique, Kizmaru would simultaneously finish casting his own fireball technique, engulfing the room with flames seeing as he was currently twice as fast as her and could form two signs just as fast as she could form one. The two chuunin never really stood a chance if they were too slow to react to their Kage's action. As he had hoped, the flames had reached the two chuunin before the mist even finished getting some distance from the female, burning both of the shinobi alive within mere seconds. Because the male had also decided to sync his action of getting into his stance after the slow female, he was also burned to crisp, leaving two flame broiled bodies, a desk and a chair after his flame's wake.

Looking over the two dead bodies, Kizmaru held his cold stare at the two idiots that came in and caused a ruckus. With a wicked sneer, he had spoke aloud, "There, am I 'Xyxer' enough for you yet, is that enough for you two to gain your respect. Got any other requests, eh funny man? How about you gloomy girl? No, okay good. Heh, I guess neither of you can hear me anymore." As the smoke cleared, there was still smolders of flames and smoke lingering within the room. Even though he was mostly irritated at the shinobi that was suppose to trust and lead him tried to question him, he was also stricken with some remorse. The feeling lasted briefly, swallowing it as he could hear the footsteps of his receptionist running down the corridor towards him, from behind, clutching Ram beneath both arms. "What's going on here, what happened," they had asked in a panic. Kizmaru wasn't really sure how to explain two of his own shinobi had tried to assassinate him. Then, a rather cruel joke had came to mind. From what he gathered from his exchange with the pink haired chuunin, he assumed he fancied himself a joker. Well, he's got a joke for him even if he wasn't around to see it. "Erm, yeah. It was terrible. A group of shinobi were plotting to kill me. Then these two, Kirigakure shinobi had valiantly jumped in the way of their new Kage, shielding me with their own bodies but alas, they didn't survive the attack. I had sent my companion to go get help but I guess he didn't make it in time. These two are heroes who scarified themselves for the good of the village. And I never even got to ask their names. Can you identify them for me?"

The receptionist began to squat in order to examine the two bodies, taking a little bit of time since they could barely recognize the two dead chuunin. After a few minutes of examination, the receptionist had began to reply to Kizmaru's question. "Lord Mizukage, I think I can make them out to be two chuunin by the names of 'Kaguya, Kotsuzui' and Hashibira, Yashakure sir." Kizmaru continued to look at the bodies as he pondered what to say next. "Well, from now on, you may regard them as 'Heroes' of the village hidden in the mist. I will never forget your names or faces, Kotsuzui Kaguya and Yashakure Hashibira," a sneer slowly forming across his face. With that, Kizmaru walked towards the two corpses before picking them both up, the female hoisted under his left arm and the male over his right shoulder before walking back out of the room exiting the office. The receptionist followed in tow, carrying the Mizukage's companion, Ram, in both arms.
