Kota taking the scenic route through the forest on his way back to the village from the Frontier Patrol Headquarters when he caught the familiar scent of a certain cousin and her ninken. He skidded to a stop, as did the two meter-tall ninken that were following behind him, and sniffed up at the air to get a better lay of the land. It didn't take the sharp-nosed Chuunin more than a moment to discern their location, and pointed his his chin their way to Kinmaru and Ginmaru. Even though he was *Technically* Off-duty, the Operative was curious about what Kanako was up to out here past the Nichikabe. From the smell of things though, it seemed like lunch.

His shaggy brown hair was pulled into a loose ponytail that swung back and forth as trio trotted up towards the duo's camp shortly after, just in time to catch Hachi "Helping" Kanako clean up. Having just got done with a patrol - an uneventful one - the Operative was still wearing his uniform. His standard issue sage flak jacket had been modified to include a fur collar that matched the fur on Kinmaru's belly, and a black snarling wolf mask hung around his neck. Underneath he wore a black shirt with their clan's bright red fang symbol sewn onto its short sleeves, with brown pants and black tabi. "Fancy runnin' into you out here." He remarked with a toothy smirk and chuckle, offering her a wave as the ever-energetic Kinmaru ran up towards them to assist Hachi while the silver-furred Ginmaru remained at his side.

Hachi caught smell of Kota and his ninkens before Kanako could, her perked ears the only think that alerted her to the presence of her cousin. Holding Hachi to the side, a huge smile spread across her face as Kota came into view, obviously still in his signature Frontier Patrol uniform. She was also wearing her Predator Unit veil that covered her left eye, with her dog wearing a black vest to match, 

"Kota! It's been so long". 

She exclaimed, barely able to get a word out as Kinmaru joined Hachi in kisses. Kanako giggled, pushing them both back gently and standing up. Once her owner stood up, the ninken tackled the much larger dog, making an obvious attempt to playfight, 

"I was just about to start training again! I usually go to Take for it but... He would probably yell at me for eating raw squirrel again. Do you want to help me out?"

Kota would let Kanako stand to her feet, dwarfing him by a few inches in the process, before greeting her with the same excited energy. "Too long. But I did catch most of your matches durin' the tournament! You and Hachi really ran wild, huh?" He had witnessed Kanako - and Sanemi - blitz at least two enemies into an early submission with the Gates. He was about to ask about her branch offers when finally noticed the iconic black veil of the Predator Unit over her eye - as well as Hachi's black vest. "Safe to assume you joined the Predator Unit?"

His eyebrow raised when Kanako revealed they were there to train. It made sense, some of his more advanced jutsu were too large to use in the village anymore. The Operative's amber eyes moved to Kinmaru, who had slipped away from Hachi and was now eagerly waiting for the younger ninken to chase him. They certainly had the energy to spare after an uneventful patrol. "What kinda Operative would I be if I let you train outside the Nichikabe by yourself? What're you workin' on?"

"Well, just tryna get tougher. I guess I'm pretty good at dishing out hits, but I got beat up pretty quickly as the matches went on. And, the more I used techniques, the more exhausted I would feel afterwards", 

Kanako explained, smiling once he accepted the request to train with her. In truth, she didn't interact with her clan much - she didn't even live at the compound, and so seeing one of her own was few and far between. But, meeting up with her family was always going to bring her a sense of joy, and even nostalgia. She would remember their customs, how she would see Kota, Sanemi, and the rest of her family during The Winter Howl - no matter how awkward it ended up being. She could not had been more grateful that her cousin treated her like he would anyone else. 

"What about you, what are you working on?" 

Ko asked as she began wrapping up her knuckles in bandages, adding extra padding for her punches. The last time she went without protection for her precious hands, it ended up in cuts and a boatload of bruises on her skin. Take meant well, but... He could be tough on her sometimes.
