Hidden Mirage Village

After Shino was walking around for a while through the city itself he did not make any progress in find suitable members for the mission so he thinks that he might as well try his luck at the training grounds and he also thinks that while he is there he might as well train a bit to clear his head a bit what he prefers doing when he wants to clear his head.

So after a minute of walking to the training grounds of the village he was about to start his training on one of the training grounds as he notices a women maybe around his age sitting on the ground and leaning against a tree.
A bit curious he goes to the women he can not really remember meeting before even so she seems to be an Uchiha just like himself at least according to her chakra.

As he apporaches the women he noticing that she has closed her eyes and is maybe sleeping so he thinks it might be better to not wake her up, which is why he decides he could train as long as she is sleeping.
So goes into the centre of the training field and makes one quick hand signs summoning one wind clone which also has his Sharingan activated.
Then the clone and himself have a Genjutsu based battle so that his training is soundless and pretty much motionless.

Mitsuki eye open to a feel of a new charkra signature. She saw a man about her age training soundlessly. Not making a noise she continue to watch the man. hm...have i seen this man before...? Remeber something she looked around seeing her halberd. She sighed in relief, before watching the man train again.

After just a few minutes of training the clone disappears and the real Shion trembles for a few seconds.
After this few seconds he gets back to his normal senses while thinking god this is pathetic I almost lost against my own clone.....
Then he turns back to the women from before to check if she is awake again.

While turning around Shions eyes return to there normal self.
As soon as he turned around he sees that the womens eyes are open and appearantly she was watching him train so he says out of not knowing what better to say now.
" Did I wake you up?"
After saying this he comes a bit closer to the women again while smiling softly.

"no..you didn't..." Mitsuki shook her head before standing up looking at the man. She then picked up her halberd and placed it on her shoulder not breaking a sweat. Mitsuki looked at his smile. Havent seen a smile in awhile.... Her lips parted to ask a question, but they closed. I should know his name first.... She kept silent thinking of how she would ask.

Blinks a few times in disbelieve as he pulls up the rather heavy looking halberd and puts it on her shoulder then he remembers that he have not introcuded himself yet.
"By the way I am Uchiha, Shion."he says while bowing for a second then he asks rather shyly looking" Sorry but is it alright for me to ask your name?"

After asking that he thinks to himself hm maybe I could ask her to join the mission... after all her chakra .. and now her physical strength seem quite fitting to a rather high rank shinobi...she might be jonin as far as I know...
So without waiting for a reply he continues questioned with asking "Are you busy at the moment?" without noticing that he did not wait for her first answer.

Mitsuki was slightly amused at how his expression was when she picked up her halberd. After hearing his introduction she was about to reply but heard his voice again. "Are you busy at the moment?" She knew her answer rather quickly. "no..why do you ask.. and well its alright..my name is Uchiha Mitsuki..." Mitsuki began to walk past Shion expecting him to follow.

Shion is about to say something as as she sees Mitsuki walking of so he follows her then after a little break he says smiling"Nice to meet you ".
After a few seconds of waiting he adds " Well I wanted to ask if you sorta would want to do a mission together?"
After saying this he stays calm and waits for her to answer while wondering to where she is going while also wondering why he can not remember seeing her before somewhere.

Shion continues walking as well while saying " Well to put it simple its a mission of the highest rank and basically its about infiltrating a village and get as much information as possible ..for example about our fallen brethren."
After that he pauses for a few seconds then he says "Moreover it is required to be as discreet as possible which means that fighting or even using the powers of our heritage is reduced to a minimum level.
After that he pauses again waiting calmly for a response.

As Shion hears her saying "Count me in" he thinks to himself hm...if she acts during a mission as she is acting outside one ..this whole teaming up might be not as bad as I imagined it to be......
While thinking that he is following Mitsuki for a bit as he realised that he forgot to tell her when the mission is going to start so he says "We will meet at the main gate as soon as you are ready, if its alright with you?".
He purposely wants to start the mission earlier because that way he does not have to have the cheesy family goodbyes he can not help but hate even so he loves his family of course.
After saying this he stops and is about to go to the main gate already so that Mitsuki could get the stuff she needs without being in a hurry.

Mitsuki nodded understanding before making varies of handsigns to use the body flicker. She puffed away leaving nothing behind. When she appeared into her house, there was a long silence. Until she started walking producing a tapping noise around the house. Once she reached her dark room, Mitsuki looked around for anything she needed.
Her pouch only held a minimum amount of space, so she had an idea. Taking out a sealing scroll, she begins sealing in her halberd, clothing, extra kunais, shurikens, etc. Couple of minutes passed by, before Mitsuki stood up to do the body flicker again. Only to stop in the middle of the handsigns. Mitsuki looked at a picture frame beside her bed. She picked it up to see a small girl with a black and a blue eye in the middle holding hands with a woman and a man. The only problem was of the picture that the adults faces were shadowed out. Mitsuki then sat down on the bed holding the frame. There was a silence and this time it is staying for awhile.

Meanwhile Shion went back home and got his stuff after double checking it again and telling the ex-anbu that ordered him to do the mission about the person he is taking with him.
After finishing that he goes to the gate and waits there patiently for Mitsuki to appear while eating a chakra pill for the rather long trip which should take something between half a day and a day depending on there speed and possible enemies in the way.

While waiting there he thinks to himself hm...I really wonder how that will all work out.... after that his thoughts drift of and he just wonders whats taking Mitsuki so long to come to the gate but he keeps waiting patiently,
after all there is not much he could do besides waiting.

While Shion was standing and waiting he thought up a few plans how is the best way to behave and to infiltrate Konoha given the rather small amount of information he has about it.
In the middle of this thinking process he feels the chakra of Mitsuki approaching so that he immediantly stops thinking around and turns himself in the direction she is coming from so he can see her when she finally arrives.
As she is close enough he says smiling "So ready to go?"
After saying this he waits for her reply with a certain level of excitement given the mission and its circumstances.

Shion looks a bit excited over the whole mission but tries to stay as calm as possible "Well I have a plan of which I would like to hear your opinion.The plan is like following, our first problem might be the guards at the gate, if they should think of us as suspicious I will take care of them via Genjutsu so that they should not even remember us.
Once we are in the village itself it might be best to act like we would be traveling merchants ...at least as long as it needs to get the basic informations we need like where the former uchiha quarter is located and basic stractural details about the village.
If that does not prove sufficient we might as well try to let us enlisten as ninjas in Konoha for a little while but that should be the worst case plan because it would get rather difficult at that point.
And it might be good if we would meet at a specific point we have to choose in the village at a certain time and discuss how we proceed.
Oh and about the reports to the village that is my responsibility.
After realising that he talked for quite a while he acts like he would need to cough and then says "So what do you think about it?"says slighty smiling.
While he is saying this he thinks to himself when in the world did I start smiling so often.......

Mitsuki listen closely, her eyes close thinking. After he finishes, there was a silence before she open her eyes and replies calmly, "the plan sounds perfectly fine..." She looked at him, well actually she was looking at his lips. a smile...i wonder if i can do that.... She looked away slightly not wanting to be seen, the corner of her lips twitched but stopped. i cant do it...Mitsuki sighed quietly, then looked at Shion again. "well we should head out now..." She then passed Shion calmly. After she passed the gate, she looked over her shoulder "well are you coming Shion..?"

The last question of Mitsuki lets him snap out of his thoughts.
" Yeah, lets go"he says while concentrating a good amount of his chakra on his feet to run faster.
The moment after he says lets go he starts running at first slowly to make sure that Mitsuki is coming as well.
While he does that he thinks to himself the this is how it begins the mission I have longed for to get...the mission which will allow me to understand them...
