It's been a while (entry)

Zim Nara looked over at Jayden and Miz as he listened to the girl now yelling over the rain so they could hear her! A familiar voice now spoke up on the other side of Miz. Kurai Tau! So he survived the attack as well. Kurai answered every question. Suddenly Jayden began getting heavier.
"Stay with us Jayden." Whispered Zim, "Just a little longer." That was a lot of questions but before Zim could say a single word, Kurai said just about everything! Everyone knew who the monument was for. It's one of the largest tourist attractions here! Large Team and mention who their leader was even though she wasn't here. Okay no red flags flying there Kurai! Thanks, man. Zim wanted to say something more, or even add to what was said, but that would seem like he was hiding something. He just kept quiet and listened. Hopefully Kurai didn't fuck everything up, typical of the Tau twin to do such!

The storm intensified above them, thunder crashing as lightning lit up the sky every few seconds.
As Miz drew a breath to speak he felt Jayden suddenly get heavier. Zim spoke to him as Miz tried to hold him up!
"Shit!" Miz said under his breath realizing Jayden was about to pass out, he continued to hold him up. A voice out of nowhere hit him with just the right note of annoyance, but relief to know they had survived!
The nickname 'Puddles' was beyond annoying!
"Kill him for insulting you!"
"He deserves death"
"Honor your family name."
Oh the voices! No time for meditation, just have to keep going. Miz closed his eyes for a second to hush the voices and took a deep breath as Kurai explained everything to the gate guard. Maybe a little too much!  
Miz understood why so many questions were asked, if something happened to Kiri, she would get the blame.  Hopefully she wasn't more confused by Kurai's words. The idiot made them sound more like a missing nin clan than a team!
"Right place, wrong time, Stitch." Miz said to him without even looking at him.

As another ninja got out of the bushes and joined the three injured at the gates, Izu was more and more worried, as their numbers grew. This looked exactly like it could be an ambush or a trickery. She needed to be really on the defensive in case anything happened. Nonetheless, they looked really injured too, so if it was an invasion or trick of some sort, it was badly done. As the new shinobi got closer, Izu could see stitches all around his tanned body, a significant detail one would usualy dont give attention too. But Izu was a well informed ninja, and she knew thoses were sign of a special clan, a special kekkei genkai, known as Earth Grudge Fear, the unique and fearsome ability of the Tau clan. Those had the reputation to be criminals and ofter psycopaths, as death meant little to them. Now she was even more worried that these were not ninja from a village, but criminal or bandits, trying to enter Kiri. The interrogation would be much needed indeed. As the Tau got closer, he answered the question, confirming that he was part of this team of ninja.

His answers helped Izu understand, but they werent satisfactory. The answer about the team and sensei leaved more questions to Izu than knowledge, as a team of more than 4 members sounded more like a gang than an actual team of shinobi, who usualy were three, four if the sensei is included. As the answers werent clear, Izu grew more tense, thinking they were only trying to buy time instead of actually answering the question. She felt as if they didnt take her questions seriously, even though their lives were in her hands. 

''You didn't answer my question regarding your headbands and from what village do you come from. Im NOT gonna repeat myself. And I asked Who does the statue represent, not what. Name me wich Mizukage the great monument is! This is your last chance to save your friend, the more time you take answering my questions the more time it take for him to enter and get treated.''  said Izu in a cold tone, unbothered by the injury of the passing out man. In her mind, this could all be a plan to make them use pitty to enter the village swiftly and without questions, and Izu couldnt take the risk. Nonetheless, she wasnt without empathy inside either, as the potential of them being citizen of Kiri and her mistreating them could be something she would regret down the line. However, she needed to not let emotions and personnal feelings get in the way of the village safety, and this security check was paramount to the defense of the village.

''Answer this once and get him treated and into interrogation, or you are all on your own! Am I being clear ?''  Ushered Izu with a loud voice, to be sure to be done swiftly, as she still care to save the young man who was passed out, and tried to balance this with the village defence as a priority.

Kurai looked at the girl with a very annoyed look. What the hell was her problem? There's a injured ninja right in front of her whose on his death bed and they are obviously trying to answer her questions and work with her, But no, she has to continue being rude!
"Look lady, I don't know what your problem is but we are trying to work with you! No one here is a criminal, they are originally from here. What the hell is your problem?" He asked her with his arms crossed staring straight at her! "Maybe you should take a vacation!" His irritation was apparent but he held his tongue the best he could.
Maybe this was normal to enter a village but this girl was getting on his nerves! Of course standing in the rain, and exhaustion could be playing a part in his irritation to!

[Jayden is currently unconscious, therefore can be skipped for this turn.]

Zim sighed as he watched the events play out in front of him Tau Twin seemed to be antagonizing the poor gate guard. She was only doing her job! Even Zim understood this. Jayden was injured and needed help! How hard is it just to answer her questions?
"Xyxer! It was built in honor of ex Mizukage Xyxer." Zim answered as he looked at her.
"How hard was it to answer her Kurai. She is simply doing her job. Let her be!" Zim sighed using one hand to brush back his wet hair.
"I apologize for our team mate, he doesn't have manners or people skills and a severe problem with authority. I assure you we will deal with him later." Zim assured as he looked at the girl respectfully then back to Kurai with a look that could kill as he emphasized the last words he spoke. Kurai was a valued member of their team but Zim was about to give him a wake up call if he didn't stop his shenanigans!

Miz turned his head away from Kurai. This kid was getting beyond annoying. The voices were all speaking at one time at this point and they were saying way to many things to even mention! Zim answered the question thank goodness.
"Yes, my uncle, the late Mizukage Xyxer. He was full of himself and had that statue made." Miz added before he turned his head back to Kurai.
"Stitch, you should use those threads to show your damn mouth shut." Miz added. "She's just doing her job! No one wants missing nin running around the village terrorizing the villagers " Miz said as he looked back towards the gate guard. Xyxer was his uncle but he was definitely a tyrant who was full of himself. But this is something Miz kept to himself. Hopefully this was enough to get them in so Jayden could get the help he needed. Zim and Miz would definitely deal with Kurai later, before he either got them all killed or in trouble somehow.

As a awkward silence fell after Izu spoke and asked again for the answers to her question, the man in the hands of his team mates passed out, now ragdoll in their arms. A mere few seconds later, the man who wrongly answered the questions and arrived later, started to look at her with an angry look, and without holding back his toughts, told Izu what he had in his mind. 

She was competely bafled by the words she just heard. Did this man want to die ? tought to herself the young shinobi, as he told her disrespectfull absurdities. She was on the verge of lunging at him, making those very words his lasts. She looked with a white hot stare at him, not even blinking, with her byakugan activating, showing her veins around her eyes and temple to swell and be apparent. Her face was one of killing intent, wanting to take immediate violent response towards that answer. But she contained herself, as her goal was to defend the gate and the village, not succumb to her basic bloodlust and to tear the reputation of the hidden mist village. Before the others could talk, Izu immediately started to do handisgns. She swiftly put her hands together, doing Boar, Rat, and looked toward the Tau ninja specifically. Immidiately, 10 copies of Izu could be seen getting out of puddles around them, forming quickly from the water they came from. At the same time and with absolute synchronism, all 10 copies pulled out 3 senbons from their pockets and in each hands between each of their fingers, and walked slowly towards the group, circling them while maintaining a pose ready to throw the weapons at any given moment should Izu order it. 

''Move an inch and you will all die. You, rope freak, talk to me like that again and I'll rip that heart out and throw you to the depths of the sea.'' said Izu from up top while her clones were silent.

Soon afterwards, the other two team mates still conscient and who didnt answered yet immediately answered. The first one correctly named Xyxer as the monument recipient, to the pleasure of Izu who smirked at the response. He also scolded the other ninja, telling him how stupid it was to confront me in their state and considering Izu was, in fact, only rightfully doing her job. The other soon added the same answer, but refered to Xyxer as his uncle. Interesting, tought Izu, who admired Xyxer. She would need to talk to this man at a later time, as he was the one in the bunch who Izu had the most interest in knowing him. But Izu being a woman of details, she couldnt help but notice the obvious to her... They still didnt say why they dont have headbands, and from wich village they came from! Nonetheless, this kind of question and the possibility they were lying could all be settle down in interrogation, so there was no point in making them wait. One of them at least was certainly from Kirigakure, as Xyxer was his uncle. That would be sufficient information for now. Izu still said something, before oppening the gate:

''You can enter the village of the Hidden Mist. I will come down and escort you to the immigration custom center where I will interogate you. But first I'll take care of your friend, he is in bad shape. Don't try anything.''  said Izu as she jumped from the gates, landing before the group. She then approached Jayden and kneeled to be at his height, doing the handisgn Snake, Ox, Tiger, Ram, Rat, and then laid her hand softly uppon his shoulder. As she closed her eyes, her hand glowed in a light blue chakra hue, and Jayden's injuries and open wounds closed slowly under the gaze of everyone (+50HP). The healing was sufficient to cure all of Jayden ailment, and to close all of his wound, leaving him only tired from the pain and change his body overcame. If in his injuries organs where destroyed or injured, those would reform and get back into perfect shape.

''There. I hope this helped. Now, follow me. And stay close.'' Ushered Izu, now back to her calm and cold attitute, but still on her guard, if anything happened. She would keep one hand in her pocket, with 4 senbons between her fingers, ready to be thrown as soon as something off happened. She then started walking toward the village, passing the gate, and entering with the group into the hidden mist village.

Kurai stared at the clones the girl had made. He was shocked but at the same time he felt threatened! Instead of mouthing off at the girl he simply looked around baffled?
"Holy shit!" He said as he watched the clones disappear. Before he could say any other words he hears the other two say they would deal with him later. "What?" He said as he glanced at them.
"Whatever." He muttered in response as the girl healed Jayden. She finally let them in and began to lead them into an interrogation room. At least they were in the village.
