"You are a snake, through and through." Hanabi sighed and shook her head, "There's a nice rooftop on the ritzy gym that no one uses..."<br/><br/>The Jounin rubbed the back of her neck, "It's like she's not even trying to hide." Hanabi murmured, "What do you want to do about this one? Not that I'm advocating anything unsavory, of course."<br/><br/>She offered up her hands, as if in apology, closing her eyes and smiling confidently.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"You're welcome." Kasumi magnanimously replied with a sly smile. She went up and slapped the dome of the puppet, an instant before the weapon pods deployed and Kuma's pistons primed. The Kiri nin hesitated, withdrawing her hand, "Quite the machine you've got here. I'd heard a genius puppeteer was competing this year, a member of the ancient Chikamatsu clan. A Hyuuga from Suna, though?" She looked towards Yuki, "<em>That's</em>curious... Won't you tell me your names?"<br/><br/>"Makoto." The voice echoed out from within the shell of his companion's puppet.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"International cooperation, huh?" Kay melodiously repeated, "Guess I shouldn't have pranked that Leaf nin I ran into at the seafood markets."<br/><br/>She began to smile, trying to maintain her composure before bursting into a laugh and clutching her stomach, "Naw, it was worth it. You should have seen his face!"<br/><br/>Tarui shook her head and sighed. It seems, for the moment, he was off the hook for his nocturnal activities... "Aside from that..." She shook her head and scrunched her lips thoughtfully, "Nothing interesting, no."<br/><br/>"Well, that's about the sum of it." Tarui said, standing up and patting her thighs, "I'd like to keep going with the hellstab but..." She put her hand on her hip and closed her eyes, "I understand if you and Kay want to take a break."
