The fullness of spring - or at least, Kumogakure's version of it - had finally fully settled on the mountain. In Konoha, everyone would be shedding their winter jackets, hats and scarves and opting for lighter materials. Kumogakure, however, was a different story -- or at least Cronopolis was. The immigrant-heavy sub-city held ex-pats from Water Country who had shed their layers upon moving the northern territory alongside Fire Country natives who even now clung to warmth of their coats. Rei was among the latter, dressed in dark blue pants tucked into knee-high boots, a red button-down that her scarf blended into, topped with a long black jacket. It was a slightly more professional look than the one she normally donned; cleaner. A blade strapped at her left side and a ninja tool pouch on her right would bring the ensemble together with an air of military importance accentuated by the girl's resemblance to the Medical Sennin - er, former Medical Sennin. Of course, nothing could have been further from the truth.
Today's mission? Continuing research. Why get all spiffed up for research? Well, because today's research time wouldn't be spent digging through books at the library. She'd done enough of that. Today, a black leather messenger back hanging from her shoulder held about a dozen shinobi files, each one of them a ninja that had been present on the day of the Attack at the Gate as it was currently known. Some of them simply had not yet filed a debriefing report and would need to receive a reprimanding. Others, however, had reported information that the young Kaibutsu Hunter deemed worthy of further prodding.
Starting in order of which seemed most promising, she was brought back to where it began for their village. Hyuuga Honnou had gate duty today. From his photo she vaguely remember having fought alongside him, though admittedly some of the details of the fight atop the monster's head were a bit fuzzy given what she'd gone through immediately after. She showed her dossier to the ground guard before explaining that she was here to speak with Hon. The man sent the message over the radio before explaining that he would be along shortly. And so she waited.
