Moving up in the world

[Katsumi]

Katsumi pondered for a moment, trying to sum up the shark-like man.

"Hasame is hard to control, from what I hear. I've never fought the guy, thankfully, because not too many survive encounters with him. He's brutal in combat, using mostly taijutsu and ninjutsu abilities. Most people recognise him because of his sword - you'll see for yourself soon enough - but according to elders he bears a striking resemblance to a notorious rogue ninja that lived several generations ago."

"To be honest, I'm worried about the Mizukage's sudden decision to include him. He usually works alone - and for good reason; It's not unknown to turn on his allies if he feels bored or undermatched. He has greater love for fighting than he does for his village."

[Hasame Yashogazhi]

Hasame is wondering how in the world he'd got into this. Apparently, he'd happened to see the Mizukage's personal transport carriage going out of the village and he'd decided to follow it, which happened to be going to the Land of Lightning. After getting into the village he followed the guards to the Raikage's tower (After getting lost) and before he could get in saw Mizukage's wife come out and suddenly grabbed him by his collar and started to drag him into the building.

"Argh! What I do!? I swear it wasn't me! I didn't kill anyone on way here! Well, maybe I killed a few, but it's nothing to get crazy about!" Hasame shouted actually out of freight as he was scared of the Mizukage's wife. If there was one thing that Hasame has come to know, is that Hell hath no fury, like a women's scorn, and that prove to be true as when Chitose got angry, it made Hasame's bladder weak. He'd continued to to shout random things that he claims that he did do until they got to the top of a spiral staircase as she heaved him up on his feet and told him he was accept for a mission by both Villages and he was expected by the Raikage and she'd told him to behave himself.

When they got to the door, Hasame wanted to kick it open like always and was about to, but a stern look from Chitose stopped him as she opened it. When Hasame entered he saw a guy that look familar but he couldn't remember as he also saw a older guy sitting in the chair behind a desk as he saw silver hair along with the tradional Kage robes.

The last thing Hasame wanted to do was give a bad introduction for knowing that he was going to be punished later by Chitose. "Uh, Greeting Lord Raikage. I am Hasame Yashogazhi at your service." Hasame said as he gave a polite bow and awaited to see what happens next.

[Kotonashi Shu]

As Shu was conversing with Katsumi about this Hasame, the talk was interuptted by what sounded like shouting coming from outside the office doors and it sounded like it was coming from the stairs as the shoutings got louder.

A brief moment later, Chitose returned with another ninja behind her, who was more taller than Katsumi as he'd entered. The first thing that Shu noticed about this large man, was that his face was pale blue and along with a giant sword on his back.

"Please, drop pleasetaries. It's already creepy enough seeing someone like you enter." Shu said out of honesty, because he really got a creepy feeling from Hasame.

Shu then turned his head to Katsumi, "Kuninobu, explain the details of the mission you three are about to embark on."

[Katsumi]

Katsumi nodded to the Raikage and turned to address the room as a whole.

"As the Mizukage stated, our mission is, simply, seek and destroy. We first need to locate or lure the target, Senshi Uzeki, preferably in a place that's beneficial to us - that is, away from civilians and any potential allies on his behalf. Then... we do what we do best." He summed up briefly, drawing a thumb slowly across his throat to emphasise his meaning.
He let his gaze wander, and soon found himself staring absently through the domed ceiling, enjoying the view of the vast display of cloud overhead.

"Unfortunately for us, it's not quite that simple. Senshi has been granted the so-called "Cursed Seal" by Orochimaru, and his power will likely vastly exceed any of ours alone. Only through working as a team will we stand a chance of defeating him; No rash actions" He added, glancing at Hasame.

"If that's all, I'd like to meet any remaining members of the team now. We need to get aquainted before we can work together."

[Hasame Yashogazhi]

"So in short phrase, we just find someone and kill him?" Hasame asked as he put on a psychotic grin, "That's my kind mission!" he shouted with unbound happiness of the type of mission.

"And to top it off, the guy we are trying to find is far more powerful than the rest of us and we can do anything we want to take him out? Things just get better and better!" Hasame shouted as he let out one of his laughs, of knowing that he has to fight a person that supposively more powerful then he could imagine.

But the down side of the mission that Hasame had to act with a team, instead of himself which he hated, because he had to listen to others rather then listening to himself, "Just one question. Who the hell are you?" Hasame asked as he pointed at Katsumi.

[Katsumi]

Katsumi grinned at Hasame's utter bluntness. No beating around the bush, he gathered.

"Kuninobu Katsumi, hidden mist Chuunin." He introduced himself, summing up Hasame as he did so with one eyebrow raised inquisitively. His rough, shark-like appearance was unmistakeable, as was the bark of his laugh and the way he carried himself and his weapon. This couldn't be good news.
"I've heard of you before, though, and I'll make this clear; I'm not too eager to work with such a loose cannon. If you endanger the team or the mission, I won't hesistate to take you down along with the powercrazed fool we're chasing. That's not a threat - It's a promise."

[Hasame Yashogazhi]

Hasame scoffed at the smaller ninja's 'promise' to kill him. "Hah! You? Kill me?" Hasame asked him before bursting into laughter, "That is one of the most funniest things I've heard!" Hasame shouted before stopping and seeing the seriousness on Katsumi's face. "Oh wait, you were serious." Hasame said as he lowered himself to be on the same eye level as Katsumi.

"Listen here guppy. I don't know if you saying that out of duty, or just plain stupidity. But I'll be waiting for that moment to see if you can back those words up so I can cut you open to see how much guts you really have." Hasame counter-promised, he never had anyone threaten him before and it he had to put up a good defense in order to keep his reputation.

"Other than that..." Hasame said darkly as he raised his hand, "It's great to know ya!" he shouted as he patted Katsumi's head roughy as he gave a toothy grin, before stopping and backing off. "So who else is going on this mission of our's?" Hasame asked to particualy no one.

[Kotonashi Shu]

"No one else at present. Just you two and Mrs. Sasaki." The Raikage spoke up. "I do not know about Mist, but I cannot afford to send anyone else at the moment. Not with the threat of Senshi still out there." Shu said as everyone looked at him. "It is not that I don't want to help, but it is because that Senshi knows this village from the inside out and he ould easily inflitrate this village and destroy it from the inside out." Shu explained.

"I cannot rely on the Hunter-nins to take care of him anymore either, the ANBUs that brought me this information about Senshi, where brutally killed. The ANBU who made it back here died shortly after he gave me this information." Shu explained as he remembered the death of his ninja right in front of him.

"That is why I cannot risk lowering the defense of this village in a blind search for Senshi. The moment you two," She said pointing to Hasame and Katsumi, "Find his location and are unable to bring him down, you must somehow send back a message to us to re-enforce you."

"That may be a questionable tactic, but I sorry. I cannot risk the lives of these innocence living within this village. This innocent people don't even know the evil that now lies in this land. They don't even know that one of the ninjas that was supposed to defend this village is now with an equally psychotic manic that wants nothing more than to destory everything." Shu explained with a sadden look.

"All the reason that you two must complete this mission. To ensure that Peace is upheld, and that evil is purged from land once more. You three, are probably the only thing that can stop Orochimaru from using Senshi for his own gains."
