Tsuyo was preparing to move out on the first mission Kazu himself had requested of him. They where hours away from changing an entire nation. They would fulfill their purpose here in disposing of a man who failed to lead a nation out of its turmoil. Living in his own riches and letting the land and people that depended on him decay with a lack of action. And now some how the man had found out about them. he had intentions to arrive in the village itself that night and dismiss Kazu from his seat of power. Such a thing could not be allowed. It was a stage of the plan that was vulnerable and now more then ever they needed Kazu. Tsuyo could feel the world stirring in the violence all around them. The villages would likely not act kindly if he did not act soon. He needed to prove they where not a danger to the other nations before they where discovered. To do so having Kazu as an ally might be some what decent for him. One of the five leaders speaking on his behalf. His silver eyes scanned over a map he had laying on his desk. The map was covered in circles and X's. He was planning something but who knew what? To anyone who looked at it the map would just be a bunch of unoccupied locations. What could he possibly want with those?

Still he turned and headed for the closet. He was wearing his full on suit with the tie and everything. He looked entirely too professional. Especially for the leader of Iwa's best assassination squad. Again he contemplated asking for citizenship in Iwa but he needed to earn Kazu's trust first. And So far Kazu didn't trust the others for shit by the handful. Nor did he blame the man. Not a one of them where from Iwa. They could merely swear their loyalty. It wasn't the country they where born in after all. Still to Tsuyo it was home. And he did not care to give it up any time soon. So he reached inside of the closet and shifted the back panel. Reaching with in he grabbed the black hooded cloak with the blue rose on it. The thing had been washed several times in a row but the blood that lined the rim and dotted the cloak was stained into the fabric now.

Slipping into the cloak he grabbed the wolf ballroom mask. The mask was decorated as the demon wolf of autumn. A wolf that predicted the coming of a cold winter. It signified the end was coming for his enemies. He slipped that over his face and looked in the mirror as he drew up his hood. His upper face was hidden but his silver eyes almost seemed to glow in the shadows. Finally he would tuck his dragon dagger into his coat sleeve where its sheeth was strapped in. A hidden weapon under the cloak. With that he would move out to the balcony. It was still early morning so the clouds hung low over the mountains. Like a fog bank really. He launched from the balcony into the fog bank and moved silently through it. Heading to the meeting point for the other two he was bringing with. Ai Kobayashi was known as the mistress of storms and had boosted her own abilities impressively. This would be a good chance to test her new abilities. And Hiruzen Hiroshi, The Master of blades. He had taken the man on one mission before hand. This would be to prove he was loyal and not just a spy. As he arrived at the tree line he would wait for the other two to near him before speaking.

"Our target is the Daimyo and all his men. They are coming to remove us from power even after we saved his nation from chaos. He is a terrible leader and would lead the entire nation to ruin while enjoying his own lavish riches. He lets the country suffer because he can not be bothered to fic it so we will punish him. I have an inside man in position as the dark haired jounin in his guard. DO not harm him as he is essential. I have also place 5 dead bodies at the location of known rebels and criminals. They will be taking the blame for this attack. Leave no witnesses. We are to intercept them at the Sacrifice lake. Ai, Your job is to keep anyone from escaping and attack the main force. Hiruzen, Your role is the rumored elite squad of weapon specialists. Support each other as needed. I will be taking on the head of the guard until either of you can assist me alone. Are we clear people?"
