The still injured Hattori child walked up to the gate in a fresh set of clothes. The white kimono with rose petal designs seemed to accentuate her red eyes and pale skin well. Her hair, usually up in a ponytail, was now down and flowing beautifully. With a gleeful look on her face she spotted Seiji, who seemed disappointed at something. Luckily, Hatsu had brought with her something to help cheer him up.
Approaching Seiji she waved. "OOOOOI!" she said as she plopped down next to him on his perch. "Why do you look so glum? You should cheer up a little. Oh, that's right, I have something for you!" Reaching into her bag she pulled out a couple items wrapped in a hankerchief and handed the make-shift sack to Seiji.
[OOC] In the make-shift sack contains Seiji's now-cleaned and folded kimono he gave to Hatsu and 4 Onigiri rice balls wrapped in a neatly folded Seaweed wrap, apparently made from scratch. They look very well made.
[✠]Samuru arrived at the gate a moment after the small female and he paused a bit back, dropping his black box onto the ground. Straightening a bit, he eyed Seiji where he was and the girl, keeping to himself Stupid giant... turning, he ended up face to mask with an Anbu who had his arms crossed. Scowling angrily, Samuru dragged the missive from his back pocket "Released from binding, free and clear. Clean to go out and come back like a good little dog." he said, trying to keep his calm. The Anbu read over the missive and handed it back to Samuru, nodding just slightly.[✠]

-----From behind the younger male would come a voice, the deep rumbling of the man who he had just left. "Dog you are not. An ally, and one to be treated as such." The ground trembled a bit with each step the giant took as he came forward, towering over everyone in the location by nearly four feet. Nodding to Seiji in recognition, the larger man, who to Seiji would look a bit more...sweaty, and stronger, than he had before, turned to the only girl in the group and grunted in a questioning manner. "Who are you?" While he was not against a woman being with them, an unknown could cause problems. But then, this wasn't a hunting mission, and they were not going out to kill anyone, so he had to stop treating this as if it were if he were to be effective. Looking about without actually doing so, Wanryoku considered what to do. Apparently Myurai had not come yet, and that meant that he might have to go after the icy devil. From the way Samuru had spoken, it told him that he wouldn't be able to rely on the boy to work as a team. Maybe that would change.

A pair of men that, of the group, only Wanryoku would recognize, approached the loitering shinobi. They were the two men from the tavern in the mountains, who had aided Wan in the defeat of the sannin Nekita. The man fondly known as "Lefty" was the first to speak, raising his hand in greeting. "Oooi, Wan! Ya part of the group that's supposed to be headed into the mountains?" He smiled. "Good to see you alive. We weren't sure you'd make it." Gesturing over his shoulder, he pointed to the train that sat idle at the newly built train station. "Your ball and quiver are still there, if ya want 'em back. It's kinda in the way."
The other, "Righty", looked over the group with a grin. "There's a ton of exposed ore up there. We haven't been able to clear the path yet, so take care on your way up. But you can follow the tracks so ya don't lose your way."
Seiji looked to the gifts from Hatsu and popped her on her head for the sign of affection, but just as swiftly he removed one of the onigiri and began to eat it. He then looked to the others around him and took notice of Wanryoku and Samuru. These two caught immediate attention, but no words from him. Instead he looked back to Hatsu and mouthed a thank you before standing up and walking towards the blacksmith who worked the shop with him.
"Samuru. Keep that feeling and use it later, against someone who deserves it, not a dog doing his duty." The genin called as he approached the man and cast a careful eye up to him.
Happy that Seiji was grateful for the gift, Hatsu got up and walked over to the others who were just now getting here. When the giant asked for her name, Hatsu replied in a strong and assertive tone. "That's no way to treat a lady! You should always give your name first, and then ask for hers." To most it would seem like she's actually giving the towering man a stern talking to, but to those who actually know her enough, Hatsu is just being playful and causing mischief.
Not giving the giant enough time to talk, Hatsu promptly spoke up again. "Hatsu Hattori, though I expect you to be more than a gentleman next time, got it?" Without waiting for a response back, she turned back towards where Seiji and she were sitting, giving her half-brother a big grin as she walked by. She completely ignored the man with the black box, knowing what the box held within.
Suddenly cringing in a little pain as she sat back down, the red-eyed Hattori rubbed her wound through her kimono and let out a small sigh.
[✠]Samuru turned as the Anbu vanished, his gaze narrowing on the giant. Let the man think was he wanted...he was still making a massive mistake in his assumptions about who and what Samuru was. And about what he was willing to do "...woof." he bared his teeth at Wan's comment even as the giant moved away. Turning at the sound of his name, he tilted his attention to Seiji "...We are traveling together, yes." he agreed, sizing the male up. So. This was the one who would, according to Myurai, be helping out in the forges...He at least looks physically fit."You're Myurai's younger brother, are you not?" his gaze tracked the smaller girl who had given Wanryoku sass, his eyes narrowing. He remembered her, vaguely, from the dojo as well as her reaction to the puppet Biased. Useless, then. so classified, he turned his attention back to Seiji "Seeing as this shortage in Takumi is no doubt Myurai's doing," seriously though, Myurai had better show up "Will he be joining us as well?"[✠]

-----Turning to look at the two whom had saved his life, Wanryoku moved closer, and bowed. They had been the ones to help him when all else had fled. Reaching out with both hands, he clasped them both on the shoulder with a grin. "Thank you. I will get them before I leave. Promise. Next time in town, I buy drink, yes?" Patting them on the shoulders once more, he turned his attention to the little girl who had spoken to him so...rudely.
-----Listening to the chastising from the little imp of a girl made Wanryoku's already darkning emotional outlook that much...darker. He was not in a good mood to begin with, and this little one decided to treat him as a nobody. That...did not sit well with him. But snapping at her would only lower himself to her level, and that he could not do. Instead, he stepped just in front of the little girl, ensuring that she would not be able to ignore him. "You are a Genin, Hatsu Hattori? Interesting, then, that you would find yourself in a suitable position to treat a Jounin as if they were inferior to yourself. Unless you wish to remain a Genin for the remainder of your life, you will learn proper respect." For once, his voice was even, with only a hint of his accent. They would have no idea how much effort that took from him, how much thought and consideration. But then, they didn't have to. "My name is Wanryoku Jingi Horobusu, and I am the one leading this mission. Act disrespectful to anyone else on this mission, and you will find yourself in, as your people call it, 'time out'."
-----Looking towards Samuru, the giant strode over without any more concern for the little female. She would learn, as any good soldier did, or she would fall. Proper respect was everything. Looking at Samuru as he approached, the giant pitched his voice lower, so only he would hear, hopefully. Though he was conversing, Wanryoku felt this was important, so he only waited till there was a break in the conversation to say this. "You are my second in command. Should anything unfortunate happen, get everyone here home. By whatever means necessary, ensure they survive." It might actually dawn on Samuru that Wanryoku was struggling to speak normally, as his face had turned a slightly darker shade than normal. Looking to Seiji, the giant raised his voice once more. "Yes. Mew-rai show, you think?" The accent returned, but then, it needed to. Otherwise Wanryoku was going to explode, and that would not be beneficial to anyone. Though they might find his pronunciation of Myurai's name hilarious, as he made the first part sound like a cat, and the second was clearly separate from the first.

Upon hearing Wanryoku's voice change, Hatsu held in laughter as long as she could. Finally, when he was finished speaking, she burst out laughing. Getting up she walked over to the giant. "You're funny, I like you. Sorry for the disrespect, I like playing pranks sometimes. You could call it a bit of a hobby." Deeply bowing to the giant, she made sure he knew she didn't mean anything by her actions.
Wanryoku turned to talk to the others, and Hatsu listened in. Upon letting his voice change back and Myurai's name slip out weird. Noticing the way he said her half-brother's name, Hatsu burst out laughing again. However, the constant outbursts of laughter put a strain on Hatsu and what was once laughter turned into a coughing fit. She grasped at her kimono with both hands as there was a sharp pain coming from her chest. Trying to hide the fact she is injured, Hatsu bore with the pain and perked up. "I-I'm fine, I just laughed a bit too hard there."
With a puff of crystal ice dust Myurai finaly appeared at the gates. Taking a look around he saw everyone was already gathered and waiting on him. Dipping his head he spoke softly,"My apologies for the delay, teaching genin ninjutsu takes time." He knew Samuru would blow him off though he had never worked with this giant before and frankly knew nothing much about him only what he had heard in rumors. After a moment Myurai made his way over to the giant of a man and extended his hand to him,"Hattori Myurai. Hard to believe the two of us have never been formally introduced."

-----While the little girl's words were meant to calm him, to allay his concerns, they did nothing of the sort. She was too young to be a shinobi, too young by half, for she would take nothing seriously. When she looked at the box that kept Samuru's puppets hidden from view and flinched he almost told her to stay. But when she rubbed her chest...Unfortunately, before he could ask what injured her, a puff of cold air struck his exposed skin. Hairs rose to attention as he turned his grey eyes to look at the ice warrior known as Myurai. Saying nothing at first, Wan stared at the cold figure before taking the offered hand, though his expression was neutral for the moment. Training could wait when a mission was given, but perhaps it was only Wanryoku who considered missions from the Raikage to be so important as to come before all other matters? Telling himself to ignore it, the giant finally let go of Myurai's hand and nodded. "I don't know why. Perhaps I too busy murdering Nekita to talk?" This brought a fierce grin to his lips, exposing teeth in a feral expression of pride. Feeling the glee and triumph within his veins the giant turned to the others, raising his voice. "We go to mountains, gather ore. Stay close, for Volcano nearby, and may bleed into mountain opening." He did not mention that water that touched the ground when he was last there, for he did not know if the water had dried up from heat during his attack.
-----Turning from everyone, Wanryoku moved towards the train where his brother lay. Nearing, he watched as, to his vision, one of the doors seemed to vibrate with anticipation. It was to this door that he moved first, and it was this door that he opened to reveal the three foot ball of steel and iron within. Reaching to touch the chain, the giant closed his eyes and felt the familiar pulses of greeting from the living weapon. Taking the chain, Wanryoku wrapped it around himself, his waist and arm, until he could carry it in one hand by dangling. After completing this, he reached to the side of the car and took out his quiver, where several small sticks and what looked to be the corked rim of a pot stuck over the edge. Attaching it to his hip, the Jounin turned and made his way towards the gates, watching the wooden structure with no hint of his inner turmoil. Raising his voice once again, he did not bother to worry about who stayed and who left. Why, when he knew they would follow. "Come! We go now." And with that, the giant was off.

Wanryoku grabbed his things from the train and told everyone to follow as he left Kumogakure. Hatsu stayed close behind, trying to relax a little while she kept pace. She wasn't fully healed yet, so she needed to use what little time she could to heal up.
[✠]Samuru turned his body slightly at Wan's words, listening for a moment "...." he would do what was necessary to survive. He glanced over to Myurai as the male arrived, his eyes narrowing but he almost could thank Myurai. If the man hadn't bought so much from Takumi, no doubt Samuru would still be trapped in this village, stuck and unable to get out. It seemed his question to Seiji had been answered and Wan called for them all to roll out "If we make out, I'd like to see what you can do at the forges." was all he said, walking off after Wan and the little female genin. He felt, at the barest edge of his conscious, a rustle ... and it wasn't the demon.

"So it seems he will." The genin commented as the others made their questions, only to be upshot by the arrival of Myurai.
Sighing as he made his way after the others Seiji merely shook his head and muttered something about being Myurai's Keeper and how it shouldn't be questioned of a Genin what his elder brother Konin is doing. Sighing though, he looked to Samuru and nodded.
"I actually did a little bit of preparations work at the forges before I was called to come here. Your forge is prepared for activity and I set the other one up for my use as well." He told the man as he caught pace with them.
Myurai smiled shaking the giants hand as he folded his arms behind his back. So this man had managed to kill the cat woman, interesting. Without another word he followed out after the two ready to get this mission going so that he could return to the dragon to organize the next step of what he had planned.
