Checking up...Mission Hopefully

Kaze approached the Raikage's main building. It was larger than the other houses around however the size and the luxury of the mansion was well deserved. Saruno the Raikage was a great man and deserved his position very much. And as far out as Kaze seemed from the lightning expectations of the hidden cloud village he was around and served Saruno. That was just how things went. A twist of fate as some would call it. Or others would claim it to be destiny a stone and rock ninja like Kaze would come and meet up and add another element no matter how small being just 1 person to Saruno's army of shinobi loyal to him and the cloud village equally. That was what shinobi were supposed to be like. Loyal to the kage and the village equally. When this changed civila war began and that was not acceptable in these times. Civil wars caused weakness and then the winner being either the kage or the village itself would always take control afterwards until it balanced out again. Kaze made a mental promise to himself here that he would not allow a civil war to break it either. He had made many mental promises to the cloud village and to Saruno that niether knew about however he intended to keep them anyways. Now he was sworn on his own accord to destroy those who cause trouble for the village.

Entering the building while deep in thought paying only a wave to the guards as they knew him by now for he had taken on many missions and done much with the lightning village and those who were assumed as the powerful ninja of the village they allowed him through based on seeing his face. He was one of the few people who walked passed them calmly and said not a word to them. Kaze always had the impression if you didn't have anything to say you shouldn't say it. Saruno... Kaze said as he walked into the deeper parts of the raikage's mansion. He hoped to attain a mission on this day. Hopefully a challenging one that would aid the village. He had been getting some random ones lately that did not test his skills. However that was probably due to no ones fault but the village just didn't know what to do with a stone ninja living amongst them. He was an odd one having the thing weakest against the lightning being earth however also having the thing strongest against the lightning being water. He was a perfect match for any of them. He could do moves that would defeat them at the same time doing moves that would do nothing against them. However most of the ninja were trained in a different style than himself being the way of the academy and how the ranks are treated. Genin, Chunin, Jounin and Anbu all meant different things here than they did everywhere else. Being never ranked as one of these before Kaze was still all unsure so this system was new to him. His old system was just based off of whether you were a baby or child, a training nobleman or a nobleman or the tsuchikage. Similar indeed.

That is when Kaze began his ascent up the long story tower that would eventually reach him at Raikage Saruno's high up office. Being 45 stories into the air. 450 feet up it was quite the climb. Being in the center of the village it rallied the support of the people and the ninja. Seeing it there and knowing something in the village towers above everything and touches into the heavens is a rallying factor. Knowing that their fearless leader the Raikage sat at the top and was so close to the heavens only solidified the people's fate in him more. Kaze climbed and climbed wondering why the village that was so adept with lightning would not be able to make a faster way up. However he immediatly dismissed the thought. Complaining about anything was not in his nature. Dealing with things and taking the stress of things was what he was cut out to do. He was a survivor and one who did his job well. He would not die easily and would not be taken down easily in combat or in a situation that would require him to prove his strength to someone who meant as much to him and who he respected as much as the Raikage.

Arriving finally at the office of the Raikage Kaze smiled to himself remembering how kind of a person Saruno was. He did beganRemembering their battle and how at first he didn't want to attack the man at all because of how much he admired and respected this man for taking him in out of the forest and taking him out of prison with full pardons and giving him a rank equal to his skill level and trusting him as one of their own. This man was very wise despite is mostly young age. He deserved the respect and admiration of what he got and more. He was truly great unlike Kaze's on evil father or the tsuchikage he left that did nothing while he had to fend for his life against his much more powerful and neglectful father. Kaze put his hands on his knees and finally recovered from the walk up. It was a long way and Kaze did it the normal walking style which no one did because of the energy strain it took on people. Finally Kaze shuddered as he knocked peacefully on the door of the Raikage's office and waited for a reply before he came into the room. He would never dream on barging in on the Raikage Saruno. The thought never even crossed his mind of touching the door knob and opening it until the Raikage responded. If he didn't Kaze would leave and run around the village doing odd jobs to keep the people happy with him and his wierd life so they didn't treat him like a monster like they did at first. Not many people understood the ninja. However Saruno did, so Kaze would give his life for that man. And one day might do that.

His hands were lightly tapping against his desk as his forehead lay flat across the paperwork he had been working on, his wings pushing over himself as he attempted to keep warm. Which worked of course, but his eyes lay closed, his breaths silent but alive, a small bit of a sigh coming through his lips as a small breath of air came through them. He hadn't gotten much sleep in the past few days, worrying for Ryu's whereabouts, and so forth. Though a fully finished stack of paperwork laid at his right side, a small wave of wind pouring into the room, but not disturbing the paperwork. He was bored, tired, and sleeping in his office, and may or may not wake up to the sound of the knocking on his door, the door sliding only a little open as the man had knocked on it. It was unlocked for a variety of reasons, but the main one was to let people in. A small feather pen was in a small ink jar near the edge of the right corner of his desk, small breaths pushing small papers from under him to push up and over.

[Short as friggin' A hell. -.-;;;; .]

Kaze entered the room after seeing the door open and hearing no reply. Fearing for Saruno and in case something may happen Kaze entered the room while grabbing the Katana blade on his back and swinging it as he entered cutting the air above him and around him. Kaze carefully skimmed the room over with his eyes looking for his leader Saruno Kazura. After finding him on his desk sleeping Kaze sheathed his blade and decided it was time he got back to work. Saruno was sleeping for a reason Kaze was sure however it was duty to the cloud as well as to Saruno that caused him to do this next mission. Saruno was the emodyment of the cloud village however he was not the cloud itself so he did not fully own Kaze, giving Kaze the will and duty to do this next movement without Regret.

Approaching Saruno Kaze lightly rested his giant hands on Saruno's arms careful not to disturb his wings or even touch them in their grace. Kaze then gently shook him until he felt Saruno begin to stir. Kaze then reached down and grabbed the papers the sleeping god of lightning had blown off the table with his short breaths while sleeping and placed them on the desk near Saruno. Kaze himself kneeled to Saruno as he awoke waiting to be adressed by his leader who had now been awoken. Seeing no more papers on the floor Kaze simply continued to kneel in his position showing his respect to his winged master Saruno Kazura. Kaze then spoke. "I have come to request a mission Saruno Kazura Raikage of Kumogakure." However staying completely still in his humbled position.

A small bit of wind came in through the window next to him as it shivered against his bare flesh on his right arm, the sleeve being exposed, and his wings not helping very much. But when he was lightly shaken, his eyes slowly began to open towards the voice of another person, getting a few words in order, "Mission, Raikage, Kumogakure." is all he heard from his ears just waking up as well. Dragging his body up from his desk, where a small trail of something was on his lower lip, while brushing it off with his sleeve. Sleepless nights took a toll on him he guessed, so that's what would've happened. As he laid his arms down back to his side, he raised them upwards as he let out a small yawn from his lips, then sitting himself up and back against his chair, sliding his sharpening gaze towards the man entered into the room. He seemed interested in wanting a mission, and so he might as well give one. But so many missions were built up from lack of shinobi power, so he had a few Civilians try and do them, but all ended in the same term. Boom.

"A mission for you..."

He peered around his paperwork on his desk, seeing a small filed form with the title on it, 'Mission list.' which perked his interest in it a little. Sliding his hand to pick it up from his desk, leaning it towards his adjusting eyes, helped him read it a bit. Scanning through the vast list of the high ranked mission, he stopped his sight at one that said, "Spying on Fellow Shinobi, Rank A - S." He tried giving this mission would, but as usual, the same effect would be reached, Boom.

Pushing his hand over to the desk, in a small shaft of papers, he pulled out a small piece of paper, and swaying the thin paper towards the shinobi just beside him, which had the exact details of the mission in it's fine print.

Mission Paper wrote:

Mission: Spy on Fellow Shinobi.
Rank: A - S.
Description: A basic Kumogakure ninja mission for Jounin and higher. Gather information on fellow shinobi and make sure they have no reason to betray the village, give details on everything you see. Be sure to get every last piece of detail. From the last piece of dust to the biggest piece of what their doing. This is Crucial for the survival of the Kumogakure no Sato.

[Short as hell...]

Kaze watched Saruno. He seemed very tired as he scooped up papers and sifted through them after noticing that Kaze was there waiting for a mission. After a bit of scrounging around and a little searching Saruno found some papers that he looked at for a moment. Soon after this Saruno passed a piece of paper over towards Kaze and then Kaze read the paper in the small print nodding to Saruno as he did so.

Kaze understood. His mission basically was to gather information on all of the shinobi of the cloud village who had the potential and ability to betray the village. That would be the chunin rank up. Not many genin betrayed people anymore. They just didn't have the capacity or knowledge of how they would be hunted to successfully escape like those of the chunin, jounin and anbu ranks and the other mini ranks between these like special jounin. Kaze turned after a quick bow to his lord Saruno and exited to begin his long climb back down the tower stairs and out of the building.

He silently nodded towards the departing shinobi as he slid himself upwards and stretched, his arms making a small popping noise as he slid over to the emergency bed on the other side of the office. He laid down under the blocked window, on the soft cushions of the bed, a small relaxing feeling coming over his body. A small breath came by his pale lips as he began to close his eyes softly, through a small yawn, his lungs beginning to work at a sleeping pace. He wanted to sleep so badly, so frigging badly, he hasn't slept in ever. Worrying for Ryu, constant stacks of Paperwork, which he stylishly finished last night, but the best part is when he finally laid down, right now.

"Nighty night, Kumogakure.."
