The warm, lightly scented room was made of light oak save for its pale walls. The green bag starkly contrasted with the wooden bench it sat on. Kenta had already decided on what he'd wear. He took a step toward his bag, but suddenly felt someone's arms wrap him up and lift him off the ground. He kicked and wriggled for a moment, letting out an uncontained yelp followed by a bout of laughter "Hey! Chill out, man!" he managed to get out with no hint of seriousness. His feet touched the wooden planks once more and he walked over to his clothes. He slipped on a grey long-sleeve and a pair of brown pants before slipping on his sneakers. He sat for a moment, enjoying the warmth that radiated from his fresh clothes. A hint of charcoal and floral incense emanated from the fibers of his shirt. He took a moment, to look over at Chaz, his eyes regarding him with a sort of amused curiosity. The stony-faced prodigy seemed a touch more amiable when he was smiling, but that was the case for anyone really.<br/><br/>The sound of sandals against wood alerted Kenta to the informant's presence before he'd fully arrived<span style="font-weight: bold">"Miller, Haida you are needed by Lord Hokage immediately!" </span>. Kenta groaned, he already knew what this was about. He made his way out of the hot springs, making sure to say goodbye to Asano before bolting out of the door and heading for the Hokage's building. He arrived just at "You too, Kenta." and gave a single wave in acknowledgement.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I'm sending you both to the Land of Wind and the Hidden Sand Village to investigate why they attempted to invade us."</span><br/><br/>Kenta nodded before responding "Cool, what about Jumichiro?"<br/><br/>The Hokage gave him a weary look "Hyomaru is attending to some important business at the moment. Relating to this investigation, actually". That was the bureaucratic way of saying "he's a liability in the field right now,". Kenta hummed and nodded his head in acknowledgment.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"> "Fine but I'm in charge."</span>Chaz added after glancing back at Kenta. The Hokage let out a wheeze of a laugh "Don't worry, I wouldn't have it any other way,". He stopped speaking, his attention had shifted to papers at his desk. That was their cue that they had been dismissed. Kenta meandered out of the room followed by Chaz.<br/><br/>"I've already got everything I need, so if you wanna move we can get going," Kenta said as he turned to look up at Chaz. After a moment, he let his thoughts go "I know it was an ambush, and a well thought out one, but on the chance that it went sour, it's strange that the shinobi had identifying bands," Kenta could continue on but it was too early to start theorizing.
