Hakanai read the note when he finished writing it but she was busy with other things. Washed the potatoes that she had cut up, she added it into the soup she was making. The heavenly smell of thick potato soup was filled into the room. While she wanted it to soak into the flavor, she had time to respond, "I was already thinking of another room. And honestly, I don't think it was a warning. His back legs were ready to leap to pounce onto you and try to bite you." The way Shukenja showed himself was strange, not like most animals. But then again, he was raised by humans so far and not yet by another animal. Lilja died when she saved him as a cub so Lilja never got to teach him what it's like to be an animal. How to show the correct growls and warnings. Things of the nature. Yet, Haknaai left it at that, she didn't want to worry him. As long Hakanai was around, Shukenja wasn't going to attack whenever he wanted to.
Added seasons that most people don't add into their potato soup, she does. It would make the flavor so much more appreciated and give people the full and warm feeling. Letting it soak a bit, she started to stir the soup and noticed that it was indeed. Thick. Perfect. Most people make theirs thin. Not hers. She really wanted people to enjoy this. Besides, her mother... Hakanai sighed softly. She missed her mom. Her mother made this all the time during winter to give them the warm feeling and only in the summer if one of them was sick.
Shukenja was grumpy. He wanted food. And he didn't like that Hakanai was by herself. Laid down sideways onto the ground in front of the store, he thumped his tail now and then. Then a familiar scent was caught by his nose. Where did he remember that scent... it was Axel's! The man who had saved his life! His head immediately lifted as he went to look around and couldn't find him. He was just here. The massive brute lifted himself up and started to track down the scent to find the man who had saved his life. Hakanai can find Shukenja later or vice versa. But for now, he wanted to show his appreciation. Few people moved out of the way because he was big as a pony by now.
By now Soraru was preparing both egg noodles and normal ones, the rest of the ingredients cooking properly in the pot and skillet. When he added the noodles t the mix, he decided to write back to Hakanai while the opportunity was there. His eyes blinked a bit when reading the letter, a hint of surprise going along, before he laughed lightly, leaning over to write.
It's not just because of an animals natural reactions that I said that. I don't think he'd bite me, because it would get you in trouble too. Attacking me wouldn't do anything but give the both of you a world of trouble from the village. I wouldn't mind getting to know him sometime.
P.S. Your soup smells great, I'm sure the people eating here will love it.
With that, he decided to put the finishing touches on his own soup. Blue eyes carefully applied the last touches, mainly removing any herbs which weren't edible. Some of them were only used for preparation. That alone took a few minutes because of how much was in the soup pot. It actually ended up coming out perfect, and there was a little bit of crunch to his health dish from the rock sugar, just as he always liked it. The other soup was a lot thicker, especially with the egg noodles, but it was undoubtedly the tastiest between the two. There were a few cheeky comments from the crowd building up about how the scent from both his and Hakanai's meals were making them all the more hungry, and Soraru couldn't help but grin. In honesty, nobody really ate what he made back home. Most the samurai were on strict diets, and the women usually ate among themselves. He'd occasionally get his mothers approval on some things he made, but that was about it. Knowing that so many were eager to eat what he was making made him happy.
"Alrighty! Food's done! Step into a line and....huh?" He said, visibly pausing. He'd rose up and gave a playful salute to the crowd when he first spoke, but now his hand rested on his chest, dropping calmly to the hilt of his katana after in his normal idle stance. What was at first a look of surprise turned into a gentle, sincere smile. Snow was falling. Just another thing to remind him of home, he supposed. It was the first time he saw it in Kumogakure, and he was filled with a feeling of familiarity and content. Maybe even happiness.
"Cmon! It's going to get cold in no time, so hurry while its still hot!"

Hakanai doubt it. He doesn't know Shukenja like she does. She had seen him get into trouble because of his lack of manners. Yet, she didn't say anything. Let the man say what he wants to say but it's her that knows the truth and that's okay with her. Shukenja wouldn't care if he got into trouble. Hell he wouldn't give a damn and that was what stresses and angers Hakanai. Picked up the extremely heavy soup, she went over to set it on the table and smiled at the people in the line. Pale blue jewels glanced towards outside as she noticed something. It was snowing.
And Shukenja was missing. With a frown, she gently handed the spoon to one of the staff and thanked her with sign language when she was giving people the soup. Walked towards outside, Shukenja wasn't there. Her heart started to race as her brows furrowed together. With a wave good bye, she headed towards her home, hoping Shukenja just went there because from wet to snow, he may wanted to be by the fireplace.
Soraru let the servers handle the rest of the work, and he gave a small wave to the owner of the establishment before noticing that Hakani hadn't responded to the last thing he wrote. A brow rose, and as he turned his head more to the right, he saw her already leaving. Shame. She was pretty good company, although it was best that she didn't get the idea that they could become friends. Company and attachment could be very separate things after all, something he learned in his years of remaining detached from others. It all worked out in the end. The young samurai removed his apron, setting it on the counter before stepping out. A few of the less fortunate offered smiles and thanks, nudging him, patting his back, and giving other small affections that brought a small embarrassed smile on his lips as he worked out the crowd.
It wasn't long before his feet were crunching snow, and he silently cursed how comfortable he'd gotten with Kumogakure's usual weather. Not only had his clothing gotten considerably less thick the longer he spent in the nice place, but his own affinity to lower temperatures had diminished. Not by a whole ton, but it was noticeable by the fact that he had to bury his hands inside of his jacket pockets. The chilling cold was biting at his fingertips, because he wasn't wearing gloves like he would have back home. Up ahead he saw Hakanai walking with the tiniest bit of rush in his step, but he decided to leave the woman to her own devices. She was a big girl, and didn't need him tagging along. Odds are she was probably rushing to get out of the snow anyways. Whatever. The boy hung his head, feeling the snow tap his hair and clothing while he whistled a soft, quiet tune. His steps were taking him towards the Raikage's tower, however...a grumble to his stomach made him recognize that he'd been neglecting meals...agh. No wonder he noticed the scent of Hakanai's soup so much, when they were cooking together. He was starving. gonk
Soraru paused his stride, bringing a hand from his jacket pocket to cover his tummy. He didn't want to eat the food either of them made for the less fortunate, but...well, there was no saying that he couldn't make the same thing at his place, right? Well...he didn't really have a "place" per say, more like a tavern of sorts with an owner that tolerated him as long as he kept entertaining guests. But they had a good kitchen! emotion_kirakira Just as he was thinking of which soup to have, an argument broke out within earshot just nearby. From...mmm. An herb shop. Memories of that soup he made with multiple dried herbs got his mouth watering. It would probably be the most beneficial thing to put into his body. In the chilly temperatures, it was best to avoid sickness the best he could after all.
The Genin stepped over, getting a better read of what the argument was about. They were running low on special supply, and with both the snow coming in and...something about a recent attack? Well...they just weren't exactly excited about going themselves, but something needed to be done before the snow layered over all the herbs which didn't survive in such harsh climates. "Hey! Um...I can help out, in return for a really miniscule favor." The young samurai interrupted, stepping up to the two at the entrance to the herb shop. It appeared that the two who owned the place were a married couple. The rings and aura between them signified that. The husband gave him a snarl right off the bat and looked as if he was about to tell Soraru off for interfering, however the woman instead grabbed the mans shoulder. "Go on. I should let you know that it's not the safest idea to go all the way out there with this kind of weather first." She said, and the boy responded with a small smile. "I'm aware of the danger, but I'll be fine. I grew up in the land of iron, and it was a whole lot colder than this. Anyways, I'd feel bad if a health center of any sort ran out of supplies when I could've helped deflect that entire situation." He said, rubbing the back of his head, his smile growing into a sheepish grin. "I see. But there's more to this. You said you want a favor. What is i-" "A six combination dried herb soup." Soraru said, fast enough to get to the point that the woman wasn't able to finish speaking. "Wait, what?" The woman asked, surprised. "Soup. With some rock sugar in it." The wife didn't really speak up again, and looked just as dumbfounded as her husband...but well, she nodded. Who was she to pass up such a beneficial trade, after all?
With that, there was a tiny exhance, then he stuffed his hands back into his pockets and walked off towards the village exit, now pocketing a note from the owners detailing a D rank mission.
Masahiro continued through the village, heading towards the Raikage's office. His journey brought him along through a wide open area, much like the Plaza in Konoha or Suna. Crimson eyes wheeled and inspected the area for movement as the winds died down and the storm seemed to be beyond it's worst now. Still, whatever was affecting the Academy and Dojo could have allies and be effecting other areas of the village. Thus the Hokage remained on guard as he traveled.

As the Academy fell further behind Masahiro, the winds kicked up again until they were as relentless as ever in the plaza. The Christmas tree that still stood at its center creaked horribly in the storm, threatening to break in two. The area was void of any life, and nothing in particular stood out, save for a single frozen form.
Apprehension filled the Hokage as he approached the frozen figure, hearing the creaking of the tree, but willing to proceed cautiously until such a point as he heard it actually snap. Approaching the frozen figure he kept a hand near his tachi, tilting the blade somewhat as he got ever closer and went to inspect it.
Inwardly he knew he should get out of the worst of the storm as it seemed to be setting back upon them as he ventured outside, but he was piqued. Crimson sharingan eyes scanned the figure to see if it still had an active chakra signature, to see if the life within it was lost. All the while he kept his eyes out for any signs of movement or chakra. Turning his neck to look around him periodically as he drew upon the body. Were it devoid of chakra he would turn on his heels and head towards the Kage's tower. Were it alive, or were it hostile, he would be prepared to strike the ice surrounding it.
Seeing there was nothing he could do for the being trapped in the ice and nothing else garnered his attention, Masahiro diverted and continued towards the Raikage's tower.

Reaching the village plaza, Osamu would look around and send his kikaichu to do some quick recon for him, as well as talking to any insects that happen to be nearby. He asked them all about survivors in the buildings surrounding the plaza before turning to the others and pulling out a scrap of paper “Search the area for survivors, we need to get them to a safe spot. Also, I’m gonna put one of my kikaichu on you in case I need to alert you to something from a distance, I hope that’s alright.” he’d hold the sheet up for Hakanai to read as one of his kikaichu flew over and landed on her shoulder; then turned to Toshihiro, “Search the area, check the buildings on the perimeter of the plaza, any survivors need to be taken to safety. If anything hostile appears, holler and let me know.” While still waiting on responses from his kikaichu and the local insects, Osamu would also go off to search some of the nearby buildings as well.
"Be the fly on the wall…..strike like a nest of hornets."

Once we stepped out, my hands went up to the mask and started to use the thick scarf to wrap around my face. Nothing could be seen except the extremely cold pale blues. My leg gently hit Shu's side in a nudging way to alert him. My hands started to move, "Interp-" I stopped as Osamau had handed paper to me. With cold eyes, I glared at the blonde hair male for few seconds. He was already taking orders and acting as the leader of the team. I wondered why. But I saw that I had no choice. This was not the time to argue. Not only that, people lives were at risk and I was more concerned about them then Osamau as acting leader. Said nothing, I quickly signed never mind to Shu as we both started to head out and search around the area to find if anyone was in trouble. Unknown to the other two, I wasn't only looking for people to help and support, but Shu and I were also looking for more of those ice monsters. They must be the reason why this village was in a bad state. I knew we couldn't be outside for long. I signed quicky to Shu, my hands covered in black gloves so it would be easy to see in this white whirlwind, 'Hunt. Remember that monster from earlier, see if you can discover another.' With that Shu nodded and was hunting for both people, living creatures, and the ice monsters.

The cold wind brushed up against him bring that bitter feeling with it. They had arrived at the village plaza where it seemed to be emptied. He turned to listen to Osamu carefully and then nodded. Got it. I'll go this way." He said pointing off the right of their position. He still didn't know what exactly was going on but the time for questions wasn't now. He took a few steps away before turning to say one more thing. "If I do run into trouble, don't take to long, I have no idea what's going on still but good luck on your end" He said showing his smile before running off, taking a few jumps up an oning and onto the top of building.
He then ran across it to the other side where he was out of sight now. From here he overlooked the area. He had a good view around the buildings but he saw nothing. The wind blew a bit harder since he was up on higher ground now as well, intensifying the cold some. 'Nothing so far. . . He thought, moving over to the roof adjacent the one he was standing on. He hopped down from small drop off, looking around cautiously even though he did not know what to look out for.

Patrol. ******** patrol mission. I was seething. Hell, I still am. With a soft angry growl, I didn't want to do patrol, yet here I am. I'm actually looking around for any signs of danger with Shu. It was then something had caught my eye. My body became tensed along with Shu, we were becoming prepared for whatever comes. I felt my eyes widen in horror when someone was limping to us. Immediately, I ran to them and it was a group of people who were hurt. My teeth grazed my lower lip as the people started to talk. It was obvious. Their pupils were dilated. They were scared. Terrified. I had a mission to do.
Know what? The goddamn Kage himself can demote me for all I care. They come first. I can always patrol later. Quickly, I signed to Shu and he translated some for me. His english wasn't very good and he was working on it, so I have to do what he does know. He informed them that we will be taking them to the hospital. My arms went up to one of the coats I was wearing and I felt a huge difference. I was colder already. I handed it to an injured male who was obviously exhausted. Damn this weather. Damn this storm. Damn everything.
My pale blue eyes glanced at Shu as I told him to find more people who are injured and if they can walk, lead them to the hospital. If they cannot, to alert me. Shu nodded and thankfully, his snow leopard fur would keep him safe from this harsh environment. I needed to let my teammates know. With that, I managed to find paper and someone had a pen, I tore the paper into two, one for each person, "Forgive me my two teammates. But I cannot ignore people in need. Even if it meant consequences for me, so be it. You two continue patrol, but if you find someone, whistle, Shu will come. That way, I will carry the burden of the punishment." My heart was racing. Disobeying direct orders was treason. I knew it. But it didn't matter.
At least the storm was letting up. I lowered my body and felt a little girl crawled onto my back. Our share warmth would help each other. With that, I tilted my head to show the group that I was taking them to the hospital. I don't like being separated with Shu at all considering I almost lost him, twice already. But I knew. We are shinobi. We must protect the village and the people at all cost.
Haven't we lost enough people lately...?
[ Hakanai Exit ]
Shu approached to the blue haired male first and handed him the scroll. As soon as he drop it off, he didn't even wait for a respond as he went to find Osamu. Having that nose of his was helpful. When he found the bug man, he dropped off the second scroll. IT was then, he started to run off, to find more injured and take them to the hospital.
Despite running though the city Inori was actually having trouble finding a single person who was among the living persuasion. That was until she almost ran dead into the boy from the academy, the one the Raikage had chewed out. Sliding to a stop she adjusted her coat and took a deep breath composing herself quickly she nodded,"Hey, are you doing anything in particular right now ? There is something I need a hand with." While she did in fact want the help, she was more wanting the help because she hoped not to actually have to physically touch those she would be moving.
Osamu had been looking trough windows and shifting through the buildings as his kikaichu and local insects relayed to him that there were people alive in the buildings, but that they would likely be unable to handle the cold for a trip to the hospital. It was then that the large cat that traveled with Hakanai dropped a scroll at his feet. Reading it, Osamu nodded as the other shinobi ran off with a few people who were already out in the open. As he looked, he saw the piles of bodies lying throughout the area and cringed a bit.. he was a medic, but still wasn’t quite used to mass death yet. Suddenly, another person ran into him, screeching to a halt. Turning quickly, he saw Inori, “Oh.. hey Inori…. Well.. Kaileer told me to patrol the village, but honestly I’ve already kind of deviated from that… Hakanai seems to have run off to the hospital to help people there, but fro the looks of things, I’m more worried about the diseases that could be spread by all these corpses rotting away….. around us…” Osamu’s mind drifted off for a moment before he pulled himself back, “Whoops, sorry.. What was it you needed?” Before Inori could respond, Osamu would call over really quickly to Toshihiro, “Hey! Toshihiro! You can continue with the original patrol mission if you’d like, just run through the village and scan the situation, report anything to the ANBU in the kage’s office.” The Aburame would then turn back to the singer, “You were saying?..”
"Be the fly on the wall…..strike like a nest of hornets."
Taking a step back from Osamu, Inori blinked a couple of times. How did he know her name? They had not been in the same class together yet he knew her name. Was he a fan? a stalker? a well informed shinobi ? Questions for later. Shaking her head quickly, causing her hair to flop from side to side, she began,"Right uh ok. I was going to ask if you would help me move the bodies considering the very thought of doing it alone makes me want to vomit. Though I propose a new plan now. Move the dead from the populated areas to the ruins where the kage can decide what he wants done with them and they wont spread any nastyness. Then patrol the lesser populated areas for any more of them. Sound like a plan?"
Osamu listened to what the girl said, chuckling slightly to himself when she said something similar to what he was thinking when it came to the bodies. When she finished her plan, the boy nodded, “Sounds pretty good to me… maybe that way I won’t get in more trouble with the kage…” Osamu would chuckle a little bit, he didn’t really care all that much, but it would be nice to not have to argue for once over his decisions. Turning to face the plaza, Osamu would look over his shoulder at Inori “I… hope you aren’t too afraid of bugs….” He’d then close his eyes and start telling his kikaichu what to do. If the other genin was paying attention, she would see rivers of insects flowing out of the bottoms of the boy’s pants legs as the glass gourd on his back started almost boiling over as the kikaichu scrambled to all leave to do his bidding. Once they all reached the ground, they’d start grouping around the scattered corpses and working together to lift an move them, collecting the bodies all into a large central pile. Once the bodies were piled up, most of the kikaichu were able to return to Osamu, flowing back into him until they had no more rom, then rushing back into his gourd as the rest work together to lift the pile and ready to move with the shinobi to take the bodies to their final resting place. Osamu would then turn back to inori, “So.. Where to next?”
"Be the fly on the wall…..strike like a nest of hornets."
