Waking ip to greet the new day was not quite the good luck Risu would be having, as she had tossed and turned very much during her sleep, resulting in a bad morning mood and obvious signs of the lack of sleep on her face. Even after she had taken a shower, dried her hair and had applied her make up and put her usual clips in her hair, she still noticed the slightly swollen, saggy places under her eyes, depicting two things: lack of sleep and an extremely bad temper.

When she made herself some tea and heated up a cup ramen for her sober breakfast, the young woman only thought about the fact that she had to do another mission that day, yet as she thought about the last priority mission she had done, a soft smile appeared on her face, only to be quickly replaced by a gloomy, false grin.

"If only all missions were as peacefull and calm like that one," the young Orochi lady sighed, while slurping up some of the noodles in the cup, yelping when she actually realized that she had forgotten to blow on the noodles, nearly burning her tongue in the process. "And apparently, now this is happening. i really hate this day already, before I know it...my uncle would drop by or something."

And as her luck would have it, she was completely right, as after she had quickly eated her breakfast, drunk some tea and pulled on her clothes, she was just about to leave when she found her uncle Enaka, current Regent of the Ouroboros clan in front of her door with two Hebi guards, resulting in the girl stumbling backwards, leaning against a chair while sighing deeply, because indeed, her luck seemed to...suck.

Without any effort, the older, yet ageless looking guy managed to order the hebi guards to stand fast outside the apartment, while he'd have a word with his niece, who he thought to be troubled by something, given her appearance and rather contradictional behavior compared to her usual demeanor.

"My dear little niece, is there something wrong, you look...eh, pale," Enaka knew that his words were half of a joke, but indeed Risu looked less healthy than usual, with an unhealthy gray-ish color in her face and the slightly swollen eyelids, showing the lack of sleep and energy, but also alerting Enaka to thread cautiously with his words. "Have you slept well or eaten properly, my dear...we dont want to have you dead before you become clan head."

These words acted like boiling water on fresh blisters and the young kunoichi, who already had a bad temper, jolted from her chair, launching herself towards Enaka, cocking her left arm backwards while forming her hand into a fist, yet when she thought her thrown punch to connect with his face, the ageless man swiftly stepped off his chair, grabbed her fist with one hand and held it in place, while having a sly smile on his face. "Nope, that wont do, little princess, better luck next time. Ah right, here's your mission assignment of today."

Throwing a brown envelope on the table, Enaka, releasing Risu from his grip, turned around and walked to the door. "I hope you wont lose that temper of yours, you'll need it today."

"The more that guy tries to force me, the less I trust him," Risu sighed, settling herself on the chair and looking at the brown envelope her uncle Enaka had thrown so casually on the table, hinting toward her temper. "He keeps controlling my life, keeping check on my actions and always seems to know exactly what I did and where I went, what an obnoxious person."

Opening the envelope, reading the contents of it with a quick glance at the 'urgent' stamp on top of it, The young kunoichi gave a soft grin, realizing that no matter how irritating she might believe her uncle to be, he somehow always knew what Risu needed at any given moment. Solehow frightening, the man seemed to sometimes know her better than she did. What an obnoxious man indeed.

Taking her time to make breakfast, the young girl read the details of her newest assignment while enjoying a steaming hot cup of tea, surprised when she noticed she'd be working as a drill instructor for a detachment of new army recruits, teaching them in some basic shinobi practices and tactics, which all in all did not seem to be all that difficult, but Risu knew better than to assume something would be easy or a piece of cake for that matter.

When her breakfast was finished, her dishes placed at the sink and her clothes in tiptop shape, the Orochi Lady made her way from her appartment to the appointed training site where the recruits would be waiting for her to teach them a few lessons in the shinobi ways.

Arriving at the designated spot, Risu was greeted by an army officer, who told her what the recruits had already learned, what the army expected from Risu to teach these recruits and lastly the man pointed at a large square table which had all necessary items spread accross it for the session to be a succes.

So, the young girl started explaining the use of kunais and shurikens to the recruits, giving amply examples on how to throw these shinobi essentials, how to wield them properly and also giving examples of several pouches in which to keep these during battles.

She didn't really have all that much expertise, but apparently compared to those recruits, her worst skills were of master level in regards of their own, which gave Risu a slightly bloated ego during the trainingcourse for those recruits.

When she had finished explaining all the essentials on the shinobi utensils, Risu started giving the basic formation tactics of the common four men cell and the slightly less common seven men cell, explaining that in all squads there should be at least one person with an aptitude for healing and healing jutsu, to make sure fatalities and mortal casualties within their own team is minimized.

When she had done all this, she was thanked by the recruits and the army officer for her valuable lessons, welcome to always come back if another batch of recruits needed some inside lessons on shinobi material and tactics.
