The country was finally slowly starting to come together. The people were finally starting to trust the shinobi after the new laws went into place that curb most of their freedoms that once allowed them to wander through Lightning as if gods. In the days of when there was no chakra this was more-or-less true, and 15% of the population really did have a strong arm in doing whatever the hell they wanted. Now, chakra levels were rising up everywhere and shinobi were being accosted left and right by the citizens on their normal missions. More than once bloodshed had broken out between hot-headed members of the Infantry that had been in their roles for years and people who were only just starting to understand what chakra meant. Obviously the side that had more practice with jutsu won, but after the incident where one of her Chuunin’s were gutted by the local butcher, things turned sour. Fast. The entire town was razed to the ground by other shinobi as an act of punishment and that went over as well as finding coffee grinds in your cup. Rei quickly had to shut down the entire thing, send out diplomats, and severly punish the people behind it. Two of them were in prison for life now for war crimes, and the rest were severly docked in their pay. It meant new laws had to be put into place for the protection of the average citizen. Thankfully, the problem was solved when a man within her branch out of the Special Program came to Rei of his own violition and laid down a plan for intricate laws that could protect both the military and their citizens. Now things were finally starting to calm down as far as politics went. Kitsune easily kept her position as Raikage, new people were elected into big roles that had little-to-no chakra control at all and the land itself seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. At least, until other problems that had been hiding underneath all the war started to finally pop up.
Sitting at her desk in one of the many towers that housed the big members of their government, Rei leaned back in her chair as she read over a file that appeared small in her hands. A cup of coffee was held in the other hand, a gentle sip the only sound in the room as she scanned the details of an incident near the borders of the Heartlands. Those areas were naturally dangerous for many reasons as it was, but the reports detailed something a little more sinister. Mutilated bodies, missing hearts, and something about frog people. Rei had to check the beastiary a few times to make sure no one was mistaking something for something else; but this case seemed to be absolutely unique. She looked down the roster for anyone free to investiage out of all the sub-branches within her wing of the military.
“No…no…no…scared of frogs, so defo-no….hmm…”
The amount of people who were normally set to go locate and kill monsters were all either really busy with other projects, doing a special joint project with the KIO to investigate a potential vampire menace in the north, or had died in the last war. Flipping through the pages of hunters she found the branch lacking.
“Well damn. Guess this one needs a personal touch…” Rei spoke out loud to no one before draining her cup. She flicked a on a switch attached to a little box on her desk that gave off a gentle tone to let her know the line was connected to Central Command where she put orders through.
“Yes’m?” an operator’s voice said through the little speaker on the box.
“Contact a one Koga Akane and tell her to meet me at the at the little village bordering the Heartlands nearest to Kumogakure,” Rei flipped through her report quickly, “…Zupolo. The town of Zupolo. Also tell her to bring clothes she doesn’t mind getting dirty; we’ll be spelunking through a swamp.”
