Dante sat inside the gates to the village, standing, waiting... most likely bored, but he could suffer that easily enough. It had been some time since he had finished his scouting mission, but he was at the ready, his headset tuned in to the military frequency he had been given, just in case it proved worthwhile.
Surely enough....
"Genin Tsukino-san, are you there?" the familiar voice of Dante's employer cracked through the headset.
"Yeah, still here, had a feeling you'd call. What's the situation?" Dante replied.
"Our retrieval team is ready to go, but we'd rather not get ambushed when we get there."
"Fair enough, I was pretty sure no one was still around when I searched the place, but they might just be waiting for a bigger target."
"Can you relay another mission to your village? I'd appreciate shinobi support in reclaiming the area. Our forces would be in the area and on call, so you wouldn't be alone."
"Seems easy enough, same pay grade as the last run?"
"Of course, my budget is more than able to afford that."
"Well, I'd guess you've got yourself some ninja. We'll be in the area ASAP. Dante out."
Dante cut off the transmission, then switched the frequency to a public Kumogakure channel for another broadcast.
"Tsukino Dante, Main Branch Genin, reporting in. New orders received, C-rank mission, moderate risk. Will provide briefing at the gates in thirty minutes. Out. " he said before cutting the transmission off. Well, now he just had to wait (again). The teenage Genin walked over to a nearby tree and casually leaned against it, keeping a spare eye out for anyone who might now be looking for him.... not that any of them would actually know who they were looking for at first unless they had access to his files or had met him before, but if they were good little ninja they'd wait at the gates until the briefing time as instructed.
And if they weren't good little ninja? Then everyone would be better off, they'd just get everyone killed if they were let out of the village.
