Private [Tutor] "learning on intel"

[Toraono Ryota]

The casino had been doing amazing lately, at least that was in the eyes of the redhead that was sitting at the bar counter. He wasn't drinking at all, neither had been taking a drink after last night. It was the day right after the night he had to spend at the leaf gates along with gathering everything. But he had attempted to go to bed early in the morning after returning back at the casino. Yet to no avail as his insomnia butt kept him awake. Resulting in pulling an all-nighter and drinking double shot espressos. Shion had his fedora beside him on an empty bar chair and his hair still had black dye that was already heavy faded out. He put another cigarette up as he glanced over the area; he was simply waiting for Nobu to get inside the building right now as he finally had intel on what the other wanted to know before they could set things in motion.

"I do wonder... Would those guards get a mouth full as soon as the shift changes..?" He asked out loud and the barman grinned big. "Well, sounds from what you had been up to at the gates, getting yourself tipsy so to say. I do wonder... That jug wasn't small that you burrowed." Shion got a smirk on his face as he thought back to it. "That thing is near empty..." He said proudly and the barman took a second to regain himself. "I-I see..." He stumbled over his words before Shion would snicker. "They drank the most, don't worry. It was decent stuff by the way." He would comment and leave a tip below the coffee mug before walking a bit around; keeping himself occupied till Nobu got in.

Nobu yawned as he pulled himself out of the bed, it had felt so long since he had managed to get a decent night's sleep, but this night was not going to be the night that gave that to him. As he swung his legs around he placed them down on the ground and then heaved himself onto his feet standing there for a few seconds before allowing a small broken yawn to escape his lips. He could have slept so much longer, but alas this was not going to be the case as he needed to do things this day, and trying to lay in the whole day was frankly a massive waste of what he could be doing.

"Well, I guess I should start the day the way I mean to keep it going let's go see how the casino is doing for a start. Seems the right place to go to then we can consider the other options going from there."

As he sighed he walked over to his dresser and grabbed his usual attire from it, nothing fancy at all but this way it at least allowed him to make sure that he was respectable if nothing else, grabbing his things he then made his way to the door and opened it, focused and driven on what he wanted to achieve for the day he allowed himself to move swiftly towards the casino. I mean Nobu would tell no one where he lived but it was a small run-down shack, a bed a dressed, and nothing else, the money the clan made he never used for himself and had no intention of doing so, as such he lived what most would consider a poor person life. Justice had a funny way of making you see another view on how people spent money.

Entering the casino he scanned around the place checking that the girls were working the tables, that order was kept, and that the place always had a sense of welcoming to it. That all seemed to check out from where he was standing. Walking over to the bar he noticed the familiar figure standing at it drinking away, raising an eyebrow for a few seconds he stood beside Shion pondering the best way to approach this before deciding that the direct approach was simply going to be the best.

"So how can I help today Shion? Have you done as asked?"

Nobu asked him a question, followed up by another one. At first, Shion just drank the last bit of his coffee and place the cup down on the plate. "Toxicated due to the mission... Sleep fatigue due to my Insomniac ass and I am annoyed, but I didn't punch anyone yet." He simply said and turned his bar stool around to face Nobu. "Yup... I did manage; it cost me a jug full of sake... and I know some more information regards of the recent happenings too..." He would look to Nobu to see where he wanted to hear it. "It was quite funny... and annoying; we need more hair dye after this mission of mine... Even tho it is a pest to get out of your hair..." He would mutter and pluck a little on his own hairs. "THe guards are most likely still wasted off their asses. and not to mention... 4 sennin... 1 hokage..." He simply said right now and would lean his head backward. "And a lot more information as to what has happened lately..."

He would wait for Nobu to see where he wanted to get the information. He would put smoke up and lean on whatever was near to him, if it was still the same bar stool it would be the bar stool.
"You have Sennin Haku Yuki. Who seems to be Uchiha Takeshi's wife. She is a Yuki with the branch Fuyushio and on top a Jashinism... Her husband Takeshi is a Hawkey Kensai. Something entirely different than his name implements. Yet that is the same for Uchiha Asuka... your wife. She is a Naru in the Penumbra branch. And on top of that also a Jinchuuriki..." He would cross his arms on that part before continuing on. "Then there is Sazuki Nao, benevolent Archsage and as last one we have Nanjirou Soku, who is as name implies a Nanjirou but from what my sources know; she has no special kinjutsu..."

Nobu sat beside Shion for a few moments as he pondered the words that were being spoken, the frown that formed on his brow clear to see as he detested the state that Shion seemed to be getting himself into. Listening to the beginning of the sentence, the story seemed to take detours and turn from the direction he needed, focus and clean information were what he needed right now, and wasn't what he was looking for but that soon seemed to change when the conversation changed its meaning as well.

"Quite a few Sennin to pick from them, and the selection seems to be very mixed if I am being completely honest. So after all it seems that the Sennin of Leaf though they all talk about being proud and wanting to have a sense of honor none of them keep to that, as we see each of them hides a dark secret interested, to say the least."

It was clear from his voice that Nobu showed his anger at finding out just how corrupt Leaf leadership was, as he processed the information and tried to work out the best way to approach this situation without having to disrupt the normality that had been built up, but for now that problem would wait as he knew that he would find the answer to this sooner or later, the real question would be what to do with the information that he had been given that would be key to this.

"While I think on this information about the Sennin, what other information have you found on your mission? I expected to hear about the Sennin, that was good work but what else news travels in the wind then Shion?"

Sitting there Nobu would be waiting to hear what answers would be given.

There was more then enough noise for Shion to see the frow going on by Nobu. "Chill... I didn't take a sip of alcohol by the time I left the leaf gates.." He waved it away and the barman would confirm that all Shion drank at the casino was coffee and Iced tea. " Told ya..." He would comment before listening to Nobu's question.

" well.. if you ask me, I have seen and heard of Nao enough back in the day I often visited.. He doesn't hide his abilities nor the responsibilities. He even has a full orphanage set up to help kids and people out. I do think he is one that actually cares for people...?" he would attempt to defend the man as he only knew him out of all of them. " All the others I don't even know... so beat me to it."

On the second part of the question Shion would explain the situation of leaf. "As suspected, they are on high alert due to an attack at the gates. Apperantly a missing infultrated and killed a lot of Shinobi on the gates, there even has been a day where Soku had died and got her heart removed... Nao had seem to be able to get a new heart in and make that function, that is basically the only reason she is still around I guess?" He said rather careful as he wasn't 100% sure if that would be the sole reason. "If rumor is true, Nao had been out of the running couple of days; something about tapping in natural chakra or something."

" Asuka hasn't been seen in those days... I am not even sure if she is around a lot either... not sure if you wanted to know that." He would add on carefully, he knew they were husband and wife? but... After that he would start to explain everything he knew in regards of leaf and what had recently transpried as far as he could know as a foreign person.

Nobu listened carefully for the moment, it seemed that Nao was the one that Shion had the most information on, this could work to his advantage, as he allowed his fingers to run across his chin for a few moments he debated the right answer or wording to give regarding this, as he leaned on the bar he gestured to the bartender, watching the man grab a single glass and turn it over and place it on the bra, before going to the top shelf and grabbing a whiskey and pouring the liquid into the glass. He knew Nobu to well, straight, neat and the better stuff is what he preferred.

"I guess on that front we may need to look at Nao then for a possible target, with the most information on that Sennin it would be the best choice considering everything else."

As he listened to the other words he nodded and let his hands come to the glass before picking it up and downing it, listing to the facts of what went down he allowed a small smirk creep across his lips as he considered all the options that he had been given as well. It seemed that Leaf security had come to light, and he understood exactly what that meant for him and the group. This could only be considered to be a good thing with a weakened state it was easy to get in and out and information would flow easily to his grips.

"With the recent events it will leave Asuka in a weakened position, or at least looking that way, this could be used to our advantage do you not agree? Think of the bigger picture right now and the overall goal, we need to consider all the options here Shion, for the future of the clan."

Shion started to tilt his head. "I do see why you mean that... But in truth, he is a lot harder target. He is well known throughout Leaf... Which doesn't really make him someone easy to miss. Who knows what happens, on the other hand? Soku had been lethally wounded and still might not be 100%." He would comment. "Yuki is one not many people have seen, then again... do we want Takeshi as an enemy..' He muttered that part after as he certainly wouldn't want that. Hawkeyes were scary people after all. It basically scratched those two out of his mind. "But... didn't learn a contract from Nao back in the day?" Shion asked Nobu later.

"Oh... reminds me; I picked up this flyer from the gate." He would show a flyer that had been spread before.

Rejoice! Do not fear for she is coming. Rejoice for she brings the gift of salvation. Rejoice for she wields the keys to our shackles, she carries the remedy to cure our oppression, and she brings the blade to silence our oppressors. Rejoice, for the end and the beginning. The age of humans draws to its inevitable conclusion at her wake and the age of the beautiful creatures, the Kitsune, the angelic, the demons, Neko and all such beautiful things, your time is nigh. Will you stand with her? Will you help her bring about the new age? Will you rejoice? Now is the time. She is coming. Stand with her. Change this world. Help bring about the new age!

"It seems leaf is going to get a lot more trouble.." He would slowly start to shrug.

"So... what do you think we should focus more on... Or want to think more in regards of that?" He would ask as he wanted to know what Nobu wanted from him.

Takeshi listned for a few minutes as it seemed that Shion was still trying to get his head around his choice or at least why he picked Nao for the potential target rather than just look for something easier to hunt, the answer was a simple one that he was suprised Shion didn't really consider between the two of them as he leaned across to Shion his eyes showed the signs of anger flash across them for a few moments as he kept the eye contact.

"The clan needs a healer, Nao is one, strengthen the clan, weaken the enemy, we need to make a statement, tell me what the negatives are here Shion and I will stop my pursuit of Nao, but think logically about this for a few moments and I am sure that you will see the matter as I do?"

He leaned back away grabbing the glass and draining the liquid into his mouth before swallowing it quick and placing the glass back on the bar to get himself a refill. As he watched the bartender come over and give the glass another pour the liquid swirling as he read the note below.

"So do we know anything of this person, what aims they have, what the purpose of the visit is, we need to consider are they against us, someone who we can avoid, or something that we need to speak to? We need to be updated with this information and I am wondering we know is all? After all Shion, knowledge is power"

His voice turned cold with the last words, as the aura slowly radiated from him, he let a little bit of his hidden side leak into the air, as he smirked knowing just how true that statement actually was in the Shinobi world.

The clan needs a healer... At that point, Shion felt a little hurt but did not show it. He looked at Nobu's eyes without flinching as they had grown angry. As he couldn't actually see that anymore. He was asked to find weaknesses. But at the same time; Shion didn't feel like telling, he simply shrugged.
"I am terribly sorry; that I lack even more healing and that you need a second one to fill the spot; or replace me." He eventually added to remind Nobu that he was a healer in this clan. He may not be as strong as Nao would be, but it still was something he felt hurt by. "As for the weaknesses... I would say; try digging yourself and see the bigger picture. Nao has a lot of people around him, some I would question if you would like mad..." He simply said and wouldn't give any information regards of it.

As the topic started to shift towards the flyer, Shion wouldn't know. "I wasn't let through the gates... But from what I can hear... It is something that might cause something inside Leaf which isn't right." He would comment and start to tilt his head. Normally it was Nobu that always walked away, but this time Shion picked up his fedora and place it on top of his head. "Now... if you excuse me... I have to gain some more power per your words. Maybe I will share so next time. " Was it a little bit stabbing from his side..? perhaps; but at this point he didn't feel like chatting anymore; specially with the way Nobu was seeing black and white in his eyes and not the picture further.

All he was hoping at this point; even Nobu wanted power; that he didn't forget his family and start his own to replace them all. Shion... was growing a bit weary.

Nobu allowed himself to sigh as he went back to drinking before sliding the glass out of reach as he listned to Shion for a few moments, as he almost sighed to himself and looked out at the Casino that was hustling and bustling as well it was clear that he had upset Shion that was not his intention, He watched the man walk away from the conversation as he turned his attention back to Shion now it was between the two fo them.

"You take my wording wrong Shion, you are learning your skills, and still adjusting to them, but we as a clan are small and need to work as multiple groups, having a healer in both groups would be the best for keeping everyone safe would you not agree? This way if I ever needed to have a healer I can go on my own and you go with the others for the more important mission?"

He listened to Shions wording as it seemed that the neves were raw about what he had said, as he sighed he leaned back in his chair for a few moments and decided to try to get a word in before he could though Shion decided to take a shot at him, he needed to let it slide for now as he knew full well that to cause anything else was probably right, as he let the man walk away he made sure the last words were heard.

"You are probably right, I do apologise I could have worded it better, next time we will discuss this with your point of view."

With that he left Shion to leave for now, to clear his head for a better conversation later in time, he wanted to make sure that the two of them didn't leave thing with bad air between them.
