â Oh I suppose I have to play this card then...though I didn't expect to run into Genma so soon... â
Midori stopped, seeing as she was surrounded again. This time by jonin and some ANBU.
"Trespassing into Kiri without the proper paperwork or advance notice is illegal for every ninja, as is attacking civilians. Under the orders of the Mizukage, you are under arrest. Come quietly or you leave us no choice but to use force."
Midori gazed at the woman who had spoken with bright, crimson eyes. However, her expression was...naught. Nothing flickered to her face. "You should know, they attacked me first, I was merely deflecting their advances. I'd hardly call it defending myself, as their power is nothing compared to Kikiyo's, let alone mine." The fox wraped her tail around Midori's leg affectionately. "Even so...I can hardly agree--" She was cut short, however, by a male voice. He was young, but well experienced, and Midori found herself wondering how she'd missed him. After all, his hair was green, of all things.
"Midori-sensei? Kikiyo?" The white fox cocked her head, and then smiled. "Genma~chibi. You're lots bigger than the little twat you used to be. And you're a jonin now, eh? I'm impressed."
"Enough, Kikiyo." She raised her crimson eyes up to the boy who had come to stand before her. Well, boy was no longer the word, she supposed. the young hot-headed boy whom she had once taken on as an apprentice was now a strong young man, and a jonin, the same rank she was. "It seems you've grown up while I was away, haven't you, Genma? And how has Hiroku been?"
The two of them spoke as old friends, all the while the other shinobi around them simply stared. It was obvious that the woman who had spoken previously was annoyed, and didn't seem to take kindly at being ignored, when Genma turned to her. "Reina-sama, please...this is a misunderstanding. Besides that, I doubt any of us aside from you would stand much of a chance against Midori-sensei. After all, they don't call her the Crimson-Eyed Fox Sage for just any reason." He grinned broadly, as the others began to murmur, and some of them even took some steps away from her. It was amazing how only her name could spark fear in even the most stalwart ninja. The thought made her smile slightly.
"Reina Terumi, also known as the Silent Dragon, and decended from Mei Terumi, one of the Mizukage. Tell me...how is Hitori-sama doing these days, anyway? And has he any new from Kagegakure? I'm sure my father is still asking after me. I haven't been in touch with any of them fro a while now."
There was a reason she hadn't tried Kirigakure before, mainly because the Mizukage and the Ryukage were close, as were the families of each respected Kage. Hitori would recognize her instantly, and probably send word to her father. But if she could convince him to not send word...she sighed inwardly. It was a sketchy chance, at best, but it was the only chance she had at the moment. So she had to take it.
