"A name that has stuck with me since; Karma."
Chapter begins
"Interesting name," The Hokage commented while looking at his mask expecting him to take it off. "Is it a custom to give names to your Anbu?"
"It's something the game for the Captain," Temari stated smiling. "You see he gives names to those he thinks have been cheated in their names."
"Cheated how?" The Hokage asked leaning forward clearly interested.
"How ever he sees fit, like if the name describes something you aren't and never will be, or if undermines you." Temari then started to walk to the other side of the room. The few leaf became alarmed and their battle stances were ready for anything. However the Hokage continued to smile at the younger nin. Temari then grabbed the chair that had been sitting on the side of the room and brought it in front of the Hokage's desk. Realizing their mistake the Leaf nins instantly relaxed. Temari who enjoyed the show set down with a smirk on her face.
"So how were you cheated?" The Hokage posed the question while shooting a look at the still masked Anbu.
"Hokage I understand you are trying to make polite conversation," Karma continued while ignoring the glances from his partner. "But that conversation isn't relevant to the mission at hand. My village has been attacked and I want to go and fight, but since Garra sent me on this mission I can't defend my village at the moment. And at the moment you are the one standing in my way from returning home. Was that enough information for you?" I am starting to press my luck, and these Anbu seem pretty protective of obaa-chan. And considering these are the ones that are going to help us fight against those bastards, maybe I should be a little more polite. The thought circled in his head for a few seconds before he came up with the answer. Hell no. He then glanced around the room looking at the Anbu within his sight. The one standing next to the Hokage wore a tiger mask; the one leaning against the wall to his left wore a hawk mask and the one to his right leaning against the wall wore a bear mask. He couldn't see the other one but he knew that the Anbu was standing a few yards behind him.
"I understand completely but I was just trying to gather a little information about you." He has spirit, and topping that off with his protection of Suna can't necessarily be a good thing for us. Her outside appearance portrayed nothing of her inside thoughts. She smiled as she took a sip from her drink. "Call it curiosity if you will, and since I already know a few things about Temari I decided to turn my attention to you." She picked up one of the cups and walked around the desk and handed it to him, as a silent challenge. She then went and grabbed the other cup for Temari. Temari gladly accepted it, she needed the drink after what see went through the last few hours. "So I guess it's down to business now?" Tsunade sat back down in her chair. "A group of six Anbu will be going with you. These Anbu will be helping you in whatever way they can. As soon as they get there I want them to send me a bird telling me about the conditions you arrive in. That way I will be able to know if more leaf nin are needed. Once Garra no longer requires your help I want them back her and I would also like to have you two back here if I could." She said the last bit in a tone that was meant to be obeyed. "I also want hourly updates on the progress. You are dismissed."
Karma turned around to see the two new presences in the room. He had sensed the two when the Hokage had started to talk about the mission, but what shocked him was how one of the Anbu reacted to seeing them, or namely Temari.
