Rain Tiger (Second Response Team)

Rain Tiger (Second Reponse Team)

Wolf stood atop one of the many scarred posts within the training grounds. Countless kunai, shuriken, swords and various other weapons of destruction had graced this place. Some had even been unfortunately victims of accidental attacks; Kirigakure really should have chosen a better place than here to have training grounds. Maybe a place that wasn't perpetually plauged by fog. No matter. While not the best place to train, although you could still achieve something, the Bloody Mist Training Grounds was actually host to one of the two entrances to the ANBU headquarters. The other being in the administration building, but no one but herself and the Mizu knew that. The Mizu had tasked her and another renowned Tokubetsu Jonin in the village with setting up task forces. What her specific task force was to handle, she didn't know, as of yet.

The entrance was rather gruesome and set in older times, before the peace. The top of this specific post had a small bowl-like indent in it. Inside the indent was a identification seal; If you were ANBU or close to it, it opens. If not, well, there were easier ways to be maimed or die. Who knows? All you had to do was deposit your blood inside the indent. The seal was regularly updated with a blood sample of every ANBU, Tokubetsu Jonin and the Mizu. Only way you got in and weren't one of the above was as a guest. Or prisoner, the ANBU weren't picky.

She was waiting for the two Jonin that the Mizu had sent to her team: Akasha no Ato and Suzume Kazan. The idea was an introduction, a show of skill, then a spar, capped off with her deciding whether any of them passed the test. Of course, they wouldn't know it was a test. After that, it was an induction/upgrade to Tokubetsu Jonin, and giving their blood samples to the seal watcher. She figured the Mizu would contact them, or rather her, later with the purpose of their specific task squad. Then, drinks and the commemoration of the 2nd Response Team of Kirigakure: Rain Tiger!
