I passed... well that's all.
I thought when i would see the letter, i would at least feel some feeling of accomplishment, or joy or anything related, but no, i felt nothing, it's like i didn't care but at the same time i cared because i felt the mountain that was influencing my head disappearing.
The rest of the letter requested that i get in the head quarter of the agency, stating that i needed to be questioned then they would certify that i indeed passed.
So i sighed, i took all my belongings, i got out of my room, i got in the cafeteria to eat something as breakfast, i saw my two teammates.
Remembering the bet i made with Kuma, i smirked, but i rapidly took of my smirk, then i got my breakfast, a simple glass of hot milk with bread, then got into our usual table when eating.
Today i remarked that the cafeteria was filled with 2 other team, those of Tier 2 and 1 i guess.
So i sat beside Kuma, took my letter, then tossed it beside his breakfast, he looked at me with a questioning look, then took the letter.
I saw him frown, the more he read, the more the frown deepened, i saw him widening his eyes, then snapped his head at me with a wide open mouth and wide eyes.
Inu questioning the interaction between us, took the letter from Kuma, he as well had a surprised expression, with a simple raised eyebrow, but smiled nonetheless.
He looked up from the letter, at me, then said, "Congratulation Yurei, apparently you did a good job, well maybe one day we will celebrate with a game of card after your return from home, anyway, welcome to Overwatch Team 2"
I nodded, "Thank you Inu, well i worked my ass off in the last week to get into the expectancy of the high command to pass, honestly it was a pain in the ass the Shunshin part, but oh well useful" Inu chuckled a bit, i as well, then he turned to finish his breakfast, but i did not, i just smirked then turned to see Kuma with embarrassed face trying to avoid my star eating his breakfast, i wasn't going to forget my bet with him, he would've done the same, so i said "a yes Kuma," he tensed "do you remember the bet we've done the day we've met? well i did and i really like to learn new jutsu's"
Inu intrigued with what we are talking about, the black long haired shinobi stared at Kuma demanding an explanation, Kuma sighed then said "We did a bet, saying that if he lost the bet in finishing the formation in 1 week, he would've done my chores for 1 mont-"
I interrupted him "2 Months"
He stared at me for a bit, then looked at Inu, "2 Months of my chores and his Tanto, while if i lost, i, Um" he was silent for a bit, then lowered his eyes fixing the table "i hand him the jutsu's that you gave me in my 10th birthday."
Inu raised his eyebrow, then sighed, he said "You really are a dumb lazy shit Kuma, and i warned you that he will do it, Taicho as well, don't worry though, they're yours, not mine."
Kuma nodded, he was about to speak, but i spoke first with an embarrassed look while scratching my back head "Well, the Tanto i bet with was a gift from my brother, so i am to blame as well."
So we spoke as a team, for about 30 minutes later, i got out heading to the agency that summoned me.
When i arrived at the gate of the agency, i remarked the big Clan symbol on top of the large 2 story building, i was about to enter the gate, but 2 masked men with the same outfit as me, but on the grade place where mine was the number 2, there was a rectangular shape with 2 stare in it, and one empty space to house another stare, he asked "What is your business here."
I didn't respond, but i tended my letter at him, when he finished reading it he nodded, then disappeared, the other masked man Shunshined with me 2 times without a word, i found my self in front of a door, then the operator opened it.
I found a room when there was no windows, i guess we are underground, and 2 large desk, the 2 of them was filled with papers, the one with lest papers was being treated by a women, while the other desk was the most filled of the 2 desk with paper, and the one behind the desk was an old men, no older than my father, maybe the same age. (Just imagine the hokage office but without windows)
I approached the men, then saw his feature, he seemed to be horribly similar to someone i think i knew, but can't remember who was it, or when was the time i saw him.
The man looked up from his paper work, looking at me with indifference, the said "Please Izaku-san, take a seat."
I sat in the chair in front of his desk, but didn't stop from gazing him, he was a man with a good looking feature, he had blond neck long hair, a small blond beard, blue eyes, and glasses, he picked my questioning gaze, he said while writing something on an paper, "I guess you found me oddly familiar, well we met when you were younger, and smaller," he stopped writing then stared in my eyes with indifference and coldness, he continued "I present myself, i am Gokaku Utsukame, the commander in chief of foreigner operation and the clan security, the head of the Central Shinobi Agency, nice to meet you."
All of sudden, i tensed, i felt a mountain worth of stress crushing me, i was before the man who decided of everything, from simple patrol to big operation in extra-clan territory, "My name is Izaku Utsukame sir, name code is Yurei, recent member of the Overwatch Team 2, it's nice to meet you sir." i bowed my head, while i don't remember him at all, i at least need to present my respect.
"No need to bow that way, stand up, we need to get into business and finish this mess as quickly as possible," i stood up as well as the man, we walked out of the door, we passed by a bunch of other doors, then we entered a door, there was a dentist like table, he said "first after passing the test, and becoming a Tier 2 shinobi, some precautions needed to be done in order to not let information leak, in order to do so, every operator of the clan is needed to be placed in some sort of seal that has a goal of killing the operator in case he was about to reveal vital information, now are you ready?"
I processed the information given, well i was right about them using Danzo like seal to not reveal any information, and honestly i wasn't surprised, if there was a seal like that in my old word i am sure even the international human right can't undo this work.
I nodded "Yes sir."
"Good, Nezu, prepare the seal, as well as the tattoo."
I looked at him, behind my mask i was frowning, i said "A tattoo?"
He nodded, "Yes, every operator have one as a sign they are kinsmen, like this."
He took off his sleeves, revealing a 3 black interlaced tomoe, with 2 line at the top.
"This symbol mean that you are now an important force for the clan, a clan that serve the clan and only his kinsmen, that's the meaning of the 3 interlaced tomoe, we have the duty to help and live for each other."
