Snippet #1306769

As they took off walking to the village side by side, Tezuka couldn't help but smile.. This is how it always was, these two side by side. Always alone and distant from the rest of the village, but together in the same right. He wanted the best for his friend. He wanted to find a way to turn Sumi's weakness into a strength, he had no idea how but was determined none the less. As they reached the village the were greeted by the Mizukage. "Hello boys, I figured you would have been waiting for me, glad to see I didn't hold you up." She said with a smile. "I've been rather busy as of late, and I have a lot of things to talk to you about." She twirled around and began walking in the direction of her office with the two close behind, her beautiful blonde hair flowing gently in the afternoon breeze. "This may come as a surprise, but there is a group of ninja hunting the Jinchuriki. We dont know much other than the fact that they are very VERY powerful." She had a habit of talking with her back to the boys, which annoyed Tezuka to no end. "They go by the name 'Akatsuki.'" As they reached the tower she found her chair and sat gracefully in her heavily decorated office and produced a small stack of papers. " I was supposed to leave you boys in the dark on this subject, but I owe it to you as you've been a great asset to the village. A tall man with hair the color of the greenest grass has been sent to gather the Jinchuriki to counter this threat, He will come for you soon, and you will go with him." She brought her face up from the papers. "And under no circumstances are you to leave the forest surrounding the village until then," her voice rose and she clenched her fists. "AM I UNDERSTOOD TEZUKA?! This is important and I need you to listen just this one time, please." She turned to Sumio. "Please for the safety of you both, keep him in line"
