Atsuko didn't let her smile fall, for she resisted a frown for so many years, to fall to this, would be a disappointment. But the hyuuga still irked her in a way.. maybe it was the way she acted towards someone younger... or was it the fact Raiden was her little brother? even so, she would still gladly fight, because it would be some use to her and some enjoyment.
'I can beat takao more and more~' Atsuko thought playfully, glancing at her hyuuga companion. Looking back towards Harumi, she stretched a bit, and slowly shifted into position.
"Oh, and one rule. No weapons." She tilted her head, onyx eyes gleaming with several emotion, one obviously appeared to be excitement. "Seems easy enough." Swiftly, she discarded her weapon bag from her hip and thigh, before tossing it aside without much hesitation. Though she peered at Takao as he leaned in and murmured something under his breath.
"Make sure to throw in a punch in there for me." A grin pulled at her lips, and she lightly punched his arm before he left, trying to show disappointment at his statement but couldnt help but giggle. Opening her mouth to reply, she stopped in mid-breath before snapping her head towards an unknown chakra signal. Her eyes narrowed for a moment. The chakra was sudden and was pulled out of thin air, which made her worried, and she started to think of mutiple conclusions and plans if it was an missing nin, or an intruder. But as soon as A suna kunochi fell, and landed on her ribbons, her eyes returned to its childish self. This women didnt appear to be much of a threat, but she still stood her guard, but discreetly, unlike Takao.
"You're from Suna." He stated, with one glance at the clothes. "You have ten seconds before I have all rights to capture you and bring you to the audience of the Hokage." As an anbu she stepped up, forgetting the fight, and stood beside Takao, hoping to calm him from any rash moves. But she didnt move to block him, because this female was still a suna nin and could still attack suddenly- She blinked and stared at the new comer.
'What..does that mean that the kaze is here..' Atsuko remembered her at a meeting and a file with the Kazekage.. Being an anbu she retrieved information from the tower with ease..and with her small relation with the hokage, it was easily done. But of course, no harm was pulled from this.
Even so, She didnt want to come to any assumptions.. so she spoke softly. "Your the kazekage's guard, correct?" She tried to remember anything the hokage has told her about any visit from the suna kage..but remembered none. She glanced at Harumi for a bit, looking for any clues of reconigization before focusing back on the new comer. "What is your business here in Konoha? As my friend has just asked." She tilted her head towards the hyuuga , and promised herself to jump Takao later. But as she remembered, she quickly glanced at raiden, and gave him a look of precaution, more specifically Don't-be-rash look. She usually never gave him any looks but during anbu business, she got serious, no matter how little the mission.
Kintaro groaned as he laid, or more like pounded his head into the table, which somehow stood all of the constant abuse. "So..much... work..." He groaned, as a jounin entered to drop in some more documents to approve. Though at the sight of a tired hokage, the jounin laughed heartily, and placed the pile down. "Well it doesnt look
too bad." Kin pulled his head up from the desk and huffed. "Easy for you to say.. lets switch places for a day, ne?" He replied sarcastically as he leaned against his chair, clearly irritated. [You can see his face in his profile~] Though, the jounin merely laughed, lifting his hands up in surrender before stepping out of the room, slowly closing the door behind him. Well slowly was not the right word for this case. No, it was an understatement, for it took hours for that damn door to close in his eyes, and once that stupid door clicked shut, he was gone from the seat and out the window.
The door opened once more and the previous jounin popped in to say something- probably encouragement, but was stopped at the sight of no hokage. This not being a new thing, he Sighed, and pulled away from the door and hoped to see the hokage again later.
On top of the roofs, a red haired man was clearly seen, his expression neutral, but clear relief gleaming in his eyes.
'How any hokage got through that pile of work is beyond me..' He thought to himself, as he scanned his wondrous village down below. It looked good. The shops were in check, jounins were scouting the grounds, helping those in need, younglings were traning and all in all it was peaceful. Though someone did stick out of the crowd. He blinked his golden orbs, and squatted down, as he observed the new figure. Both his brows rose in interest. "hm..a new comer.." He watched the man walk around and resisted the urge to scoff in amusement, so his face appeared the same... excluding a hint of curiosity and amusement. "Lost.. hm." Standing up properly, he easily jumped down below, hands in his pocket, before landing a few feet from the new comer. Attempting his best smile, which came out as the same expression he held before, sadly, he stepped near. "I would suggest going to the hokage tower..?" As he came closer, he observed the man discreetly.
'A kiri nin.. probably here for a visit..' But even so, he stilled asked for any additional info. "Hm..your a Kirigakure ninja? What business would you have in Konoha to come this far? and seemingly by yourself too?" No suspiscoun rose in his voice, only pure curiosity, as he acted the part of a normal jounin.
[sorry for the choppiness >.<]
