Mission Details:

Lin had dressed in her ninja gear. That is to say, she wore her Village hidden in the mist flak vest, her black sweatshirt underneath, a white skirt, and a black set of leggings under that. She had decided to go with boots, as they would be heading into the mines near Kumogakure. She was meeting Syn at the gates to the city and would head out with him from there. She had managed to keep up with Gin when they had left to have her duel with Nozomi, and she wouldn't be left behind by Syn, she was sure of it.

Their last mission had gone south with Lin taking a beating from the red lightning user. She had thought that he was a flamboyant madman and that she would be able to avoid his lightning jutsu. She was wrong. It came at her, maw open from the front and then zipping to her left, biting into her left side and burning away her clothes. She shuddered from the remembered sensation of her skin burning, her skin tearing from the lacerations, and her clothes melting into her wounds. It was a gruesome way to disable an opponent and if Syn had not intervened at that time, she would have died.

Little did Lin know that Syn could have very easily had interfered, but had thought that Lin had the situation under control. It wasn't until too late that he realized that she didn't. The explosions having little effect on the lightning user and used a dragon to rip the head off of The Red Lightning before making his way to the hospital with Lin in his arms. It was lucky indeed that she had friends in high places such as Syn.

Lin had packed the senbon that she kept from when she had graduated from the academy, her scalpel, the set of tonfas that had appeared mysteriously on her doorstep, and her Hitae-ate. It was tied around her shoulder this time, not around her head, and her hair was in a french braid. She didn't care about letting everyone see her birth-scar. It was a proud symbol that she came from the Katonrai clan. Or that's what she kept telling herself when people would stare at it.

Sighing, she started to fidget while waiting for Syn. She had shown up early, and wanted to make sure they had enough time to go and clean up this bandit menace. They had stolen from the village hidden in the mist and the daimyo of the village for long enough, and were now very flush with money. It was a good thing that they were so flush with it, as it made tracing them back to the mines a piece of cake. She hoped that they would at least stay there for a good day or two, giving Syn and her a pinpoint location to go to. She hoped and fidgetted and waited for Syn.
