Kenta Inuzuka
D-rank
Right, so even with the hat and a reason not to leave the village... he needed to leave the village. However there was a reason this time; namely, he needed to go talk to the leaders in Iwa. The Tsuchikage, if there actually was one; which given he trusted Satoshi's information, there was some new guy running the show. A chance to maybe fix his low opinion of Iwagakure more than Satoshi had alone. It would be good to not want to vomit every time he saw references to the fact that the countries where now allied; as he still thought of Iwa in terms of Dengen, and that just caused problems. Satoshi had agreed to stay in Konoha, which pleased the Inuzuka greatly; and they'd come up with a pretty solid plan for getting the male clearence to stay, without him being thrown into a BINGO book for the shits and giggles. Not that Kenta cared much about that; he protected his friends and family fiercely; and if Iwa wanted to go to war over a single Jounin wanting to remain in Konoha in a position of friendship and alliance... well; he wouldn't put it past the Iwa he'd known when he was the reigning Hokage a decade ago. Things had changed, and he was willing to accept that; but he needed to see it for himself.
Still, he was without Sannin now; or without enough to just wander off like he'd used to. Before, he could leave Amaya or Naota running the show, and take the other with him and be fine. He could take Michi with him and leave the kids with Amaya and/or Naota and not care. He could take Michi with him now, really; what with the kids being old enough to take care of themselves; but he'd prefer not to leave them alone if something went wrong. On a battlefield not made up of Iwagakure no Sato itself, Kenta would reign supreme; but the Earth Country didn't give him what he needed to dominate a battlefield; so he was going to take some people with him.
They would be young, and mostly weak; but that was the point. If he took a pile of ANBU and Sword Saints and such, he'd look like an invading army. But a group of Genin and Chunnin with one other Jounin? That didn't scream invasion to anyone. Not really. Not normally. If they weren't as xenophobic and nervous as they had been, then Iwa wouldn't react badly. From what he'd been able to find out about Karumo, the Tsuchikage, they should get along pretty well. It was up to time to tell on that one, anyway.
He had Kashizudoto going ahead as a messenger, and he would be part of the escort team once the rest arrived; and now he was going to get himself another genin for this; not Jinx or Yuki or Temaki or Hiroyuki sadly; he'd be set with his kids or goddaughter, but they weren't available for this sadly, or else he'd take them all. The message requesting this Natake was sent; the boy went by Tre, according to the paperwork; so this would be interesting. A kid named Three, it amused him. He wasn't even sure how many people would get that reference; not many of the civilians spoke or knew of languages outside the one shared between the ninja countries; so many wouldn't get what the name meant. He was curious himself; he might even ask him about it. It'd make for interesting conversation, anyway.
