notes: Contemporaneous with Masao's mission arc. Will require IV travel.
The ANBU and pair of trainees had received the order to prepare for a short, undercover stint involving sanctioned criminal activity within the southern part of the nation. They had been informed in advance to pick up supplies from the Quartermaster, Anatori, which would last for at least two weeks. Further provisions would have to be acquired in the field, as the assignment was expected to last for at least two fortnights, including travel time.
Takayama Shimada
Takayama-taichou awaited them in the huge dustbowl before the Gates. Those Gates, those bloody Gates, which had seen more Cloud shinobi deaths than any other site, and yet dreamed of more. That ill-fated spot was the first sight to greet all home-coming men and women, and the last to leave them when they departed again. The bundled-up captain leaned silently against the craggy rock wall abutting the huge thing, one gloved hand holding a leather-bound folio and the other holding a long-cold cup of coffee. Gate guards stared at everyone with reddened eyes slitted against the biting wind. They were all wound up in cloth, bitter about serving in the hateful winter's claws and unable, or unwilling, to conceal that gall.
