Mission Assignments

The Raikage sat at his large desk, reading through the mission scrolls of the week, deciding on which Shinobi should get what. Personally it was both his least favorite yet his favorite among all of his responsibilities. The reason for this, is as different as the missions he is given to assign, some are just flat out strange and useless, while others are important and dangerous. While he preferred the important and dangerous he was often reminded he had to assign the strange and useless for Genin. Personally Raiki was against that, he would assign them those missions for the first two weeks, but as soon as they started to come together as a team he wanted to test them. "If they can't make it as a team on a C Rank then, they don't need to be Shinobi to begin with." As grim as his comments were they were nothing but true, as it would do nothing but endanger others on later missions if they were allowed to continue.

His thoughts had begun to turn however, as he looked up towards his wall clock, and noticed it wouldn't be long before he'd have some Shinobi showing up for missions. Those that he had sent notice ahead of time to come to get them, or simply those that just wanted some action and Ryo. Personally he himself could use a little more cash himself, but he was needed in the village and couldn't exactly go gallivanting off to catch some easy Bounties. As he sighed, at the boredom he often felt being trapped in his village until there was a major battle, he heard a concise knock at the door which gave him the feeling it was business as usual. Straightening up in his seat, his hat turned to the side slightly only showing a single eye, the Kage answered professionally, "Enter."

Sanroku was called up to meet with the Raikage in order to be assigned a mission. It was business as usual and ever since Sanroku became an ANBU trainee, he has never stopped conducting business. Sanroku reached the Raikages office and told his secretary the details of his assigned meeting. The secretary must got wind of what is going on because she waved Sanroku right into the Kage's office as if she knew exactly who was coming and where. Sanroku then knocked on the Raikages door, and he soon heard a stern voice in the other side ordering an entrance; so Sanroku did as he was told. Other than by the Raikage,  the young shinobi could not be identified by facial feature because he was sporting the Jabbawockee Mask given to him by the Raikage himself in order to enter the ANBU training program. Sanroku also had in his possession, his Kurai Katana that was grabbed for this mission and he had it strapped to his back, but because of its size and Sanrokus small stature, it wasn't easily carried thus Sanroku usually keeps these weapon at home. To finish off his apparel, Sanroku had the Chūnin Flak Jacket which he designed himself when ranking up and out of the genin rank.

Sanroku entered the room in order to calmly walk toward the Kages desk and formally get on his one knee as he did the last time he and the Raikage met. Right in front of the Raikages desk, Sanroku stayed with his eyes locked onto the floor until told otherwise. Usually Sanroku wouldnt speak first since he will always wait for the permission to do so, but this situation seemed like it was the right circumstance to begin the conversation. "You summoned me sir?" Knowing that Sanroku is now an the ANBU training program, it is clear that he isnt going to get regular missions like he is used to. Instead, Sanroku suspects that these missions might be life or death reliant. Which Sanroku actually preferred the possibility. Being of such a young age and sound mind, Sanroku has never seen another village other than Kumogakure and Sanroku has always wished to get a mission that involves him traveling to a neighboring village and even a more foreign one. It did not matter to him if it was diplomatic or hostile, Sanroku was ready to serve his village regardless of the end means.

Over the course of waiting for the next post in this thread, The Raikage had decided to have his office completely remodeled. The room now was set as a six hundred and fifty square foot circular room, in which the floor was a dark blue, along with several cabinets all along the wall next to the door. Opposite of the door, behind where The Raikage sat, his wall was made of glass windows making it easy to look out among the Village. Along this glass wall there were two glass doors, one directly behind the Kage's left shoulder the other at the meeting point of the glass wall and the concrete wall. His desk remained much the same a large dark brown wood desk with several shelves on each side, along with a now empty inbox on his desk and a fairly full outbox, of his completed reports.

Sitting on his newly placed blue couch, instead of his previously used, office like chair which could be spun around, he was leaning forward his hands clasped together elbows on his knees. "Raise, Sanroku." Watching the boy raise, and then listening to him ask what he wanted to see him for, The Raikage reached into his drawer just underneath the top of his desk, and pulled out a scroll with the letter B embroidered across it before sliding it across. "Here is your mission." His voice was stern and straightforward as he waited for the boy to read it and follow up with his likely response.

Spoiler:

As soon as Sanroku got on his knees, the Raikage ordered him to stand back onto his feet. Sanroku followed orders and because Sanroku asked if he was summoned, the Raikage pulled out a mission scroll from the top drawer in his large wooden desk. The Raikage slid it across after which Sanroku stuck out his hand and caught the scroll. The Raikage explained that this is Sanrokus mission, and Sanroku turned the scroll in order to see a large B under the Kumogakure no sato symbol. The young shinobi opened the scroll and scanned the contents. It appeared to be a hefty prize for a B-ranked mission, chances are that it must be treated as an A-rank behind close doors. Sanroku thought. The mission appeared complicated in its nature due to the fact that we know nothing about the enemy camp yet information on their security must be attained. Sanroku was sure to retain all of the mission information to memory in order to dispose of the mission scroll and like the ANBU has taught him, not leave any trail. Once he rolled the mission scroll back to its generic position, Sanroku placed it on the Raikages desk and slid it over toward the leader. While again bowing Sanroku responded to the mission authorized. "I will have it done by midnight sir." Sanroku stayed on one knee awaiting for his Kages orders to leave his post unless he had anything else to say to the young Chunin.
