Maka kept his eyes on the kunai in the man's hand, blood starting to leak over the cold countertop and drip to the floor. He was still grunting, unable to reach to pull the offending weapon out and feeling pain travel along his whole arm with every single twitch. The lightning bolts of pain, however, weren't enough to make Shun talk. It was close, but he had been stabbed before. The pain wasn't too unmanagable. Still, he had never been in this position, with Maka already twirling another kunai in his hand as Kita walked over to the man. When she touched his hand, Maka didn't know what she did. Only that the boy cried out in a mixture of wild discomfort and pain as his hand started to desiccate under the group of the woman. The mixture of the heat and knife caused his whole body to explode with pain.
Meanwhile
Kenshin and Shion would both be hailed by Oro once again, to come into the building. They would reach the cell at about that point, with Oroborous pulling a lever that would allow for them to hear through a speaker.
"Alright this isn't ******** worth it! Stop and I'll talk!" Maka didn't move. "Start talking, and we will let you go after. Who was the girl who got away," he pressed, starting from a seemingly random point for an interrogation, peripherally aware of the Captain and... was that the other little troublemaking brat from the Endaishima mission? He turned his attention back to Shun. "What? Azu? She is one of the leadership. New girl, claims to be from the land of Rain or something I never met her before personally. ********! She's one of the brains behind the operation!" A flash of irritation. He had suspected as much. "When did she arrive in the village?" Shun continued to cry out, speaking between gasps of air. "Like a month or two ago? Why does it matter!?" Maka ignored his question, motioning for Kita to let him go. "And where did you get the explosives?" Shun, gasping for air, spoke in a shaky voice. "We bought them from the market here. She brought some along with her, along with the wire and trigger agents. It was weird stuff, man. I don't know what it all was and I used to be apart of Yuki's army. Come to think of it..." Maka cut him off. "And where did you meet to plan this?" The man started to look pale, but offered a tidbit they didn't ask for. "We have several meeting points. Messengers deliver them to us in secret so we don't get caught. We're isolated from each other for that reason. Mostly we were being told to try and kill the kage or the b***h at the hospital... or the kids. Whoever was next to open that door, or come in through a window. It was all her plan. Kim. I was just doing what I was told. THey told us we could make life BETTER for our people if we did something brash. I didn't wanna go along at first but... you don't say no to Kim apparently." Maka turned his head to Kenshin, nodding to confirm what knowledge could be confirmed, and what was new, and then got up from his chair, ripping free the knife on his way up.
"Someone will come handle that wound in the next ten minutes or so... if you're still alive. Come Kita." He would allow her to exit the room first, and ensure the lever was switched back to mute before the man spoke to her. "That's the third confirmation about this Kim individual. We've never heard of her before, but evidently she's a big player. We have reason to believe she's not actually apart of any of the old UHV villages themselves and rather a former agent. This is classified information, but you're here now. Moro, Oroborous, Captain Kenshin, there was a terrorist plot that was foiled by Amano here. Kim was there, and she escaped once again, sacrificing a couple of her own to do it. Shun here stopped Unki's advance presumably. But something like this... it's going to warrant action. Something of a response. The Sons are getting too bold."

SHIONxxxxxMORO Before she could leave the grounds, her escort's voice rang out for Shion to make her way back inside and to the interrogation rooms. Damn ANBU with their eyes everywhere inside of their own compound. Lazily carrying her momentum forward, Shion spun around on the balls of her feet and continued her stride back towards the compound rolling her eyes as she went. After another few minutes of walking, Shion was in front of the interrogators, presumably after they had finished doing their dirty work. Shion slouched, leaning up against the wall next to the door frame she had just entered and crossed her arms over her chest. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she listened in on the briefing. Something about some woman named kim or whatever; the specifics didn't really peak her attention. She got the bare minimum and that was plenty to go off of. What did spark her attention was the man's call for action. Finally, something to do around here. "So... how're we s'posed to respond?"
__ Kenshin entered the interrogation room as he did many times before. Unki Amano seemed to be at the epicenter of whatever was occurring. He watched the interrogation take place and absorbed the information. The police captain would now tune into the private conversation with one of the agents. When Shion spoke up asking how to proceed Kenshin would respond immediately. "Even if you cut the head off of this hydra then there will be at least one more to take her place. We need to orchestrate covert assassinations at all levels of command and lay their nests to waste." Kenshin had a wealth of experience in destroying gangs, terrorist groups, and rebel uprising organizations. Something about this time felt unique from the rest in an eerie way. He looked down momentarily before his eyes pierced into the agent once again. "The kages' home was destroyed, that was too much of a close call. The Arashikages, their spouses, and their children will need to be permanently relocated to a more fortified living space." The adviser would express his opinion on this matter to them later, but for now he would see what could be done about the Sons of Helios.

Unki did as told. She pulled away upon Maka's motion, moved her hand behind her back, and observed the results. The top of his hand may have well been a bright shade of pink, going on red, after the broiling Unki chose to inflict. She wasn't proud of it. Upside, her efforts were fruitful given that Maka hadn't had asked much more of Unki's skills. There was some relief then since she hadn't actually killed Shun by scalding up his hand or rendered it useless. A little healing and adequate moisture would do him a service.
"A former agent of what? If she's not from old UHV then how varied could their motives be? If they're like the other groups which have brought complete power houses to ruin then the concept of taking out heads to bring down the mass ninja groups, then they're not too much different." Just a hunch. She was pretty out of the loop. "Before assassinations can happen why not find where their inside operations are based first? Rather start from wherever these meeting points are. But if we catch one of the messengers and they don't readily return that could cause concern." The more Unki put thought into what she was considering the more it sounded like a way to tip-toe through to the problem. Maybe thinking cautiously wasn't a bad idea and felt like the way to pick up where a plan could fall through.
"Bait and switch. Bare-boned infiltration. Stop an order from getting through. Move onto enemy territory. Unless you want to combine infiltration with full scale attack." At the rate Unki was thinking, speaking, and all about commenting on her own words it was fair to assume she was steadily brainstorming until something stuck. She had to make herself seem worth for something than just searing people.

The group certainly didn't lack for enthusiasm. Part of why Maka had requested the presence of the one in charge right now was for this very reason: he was a man of action. He went on the plans of others and made things happen, he solved crimes and unmasked villains but as far as a full scale secret war, he would be at a loss. Lucky for him, the ninja always had his back. Shion's response mirrored his curiosity, and when Kenshin spoke the man listened. Kenshin had a way of making people sort of uncomfortable even if he brought the best out of them. In the same way the twins inspired the soldiers and police specifically, but through different methods. JJ tended to make people relax and question themselves and their motivations through how simply they administered the world around them. Kenshin was the complete opposite side of that coin. They knew they were right because Kenshin was on their side, or wrong because he was not. At any rate, when he gave his ideas Maka nodded to what he was saying. A nuclear response would, indeed, be warranted after the home was bombed.
If Kaneo catches wind of this before it's handled...
And Unki's input, too had been important and useful. Oroborous broke in before Maka, could, speaking to Shion. "It might be prudent that you finish your training to join CORE Shion, the twins will likely expect that you got that done in the weeks they've been gone, or at least made some progress. From there we can get you involved in the operations that will likely come from this in a more... clandestine manner." Maka nodded. "I'll have a report written up for Jay and Jeon in less than an hour, Captain Kosei. Unki, I'll be sure to put your name in as the one who saved their children's lives potentially. I'll get the hounds going sniffing up a trail on these messengers... maybe tap Shun here for some info if need be. As for the planning itself... we can't make a full scale invasion or attack quite yet. But we will keep these ideas, and you, in mind. If you'll excuse me," he spoke as he and Oroborous started down the path towards the exit, Oro patting Shion's shoulder twice before they scurried along.

SHIONxxxxxMORO Shion let out a sigh and rolled her eyes at the group's ideas of assassinations and stealth. If you're going to go after leaders, why be sneaky about it. If you want to prove a point, it would be best to destroy your enemy in the public eye so everyone knows you're not to be messed with. Well, best in Shion's world, at least. Before she could butt in and object to the ideas being throw around the room, Oro brought up the fact that she hadn't finished her training. It was true that she had ample time to complete her botany training, but why should she even do so? "I mean... I'm still training, but why should that matter? I'm just as capable as anyone else here," she began, letting her ego, or maybe pure bravado, get the better of her. "So I'm not the best with poisons or whatever... like... whatever. Poison is a coward's weapon anyway. If you wanna incapacitate someone, just break their legs. You don't need some stupid potion for that." She'd finish in a low grumbly tone with a not so subtle side-eyed pout. Her protest wouldn't matter though. As usual, the higher ups were probably set in their ways; best to probably do as they asked. With her protest made, Shion grumped her way to the part of the compound where they worked with the poisons and stuff. See if she could meet someone who knew a little something about it.
It was a pleasant thought to know someone was going ensure credit for her efforts in a good light. Her business there had run its coarse, for now. Unki left (and not without help to finding the proper exit). {exit}

SHIONxxxxxMORO It wasnt that far of a trip around the compound from the interrogation chambers to the poisons lab; the whole trip maybe took 10 minutes of walking. Before she knew it, Shion was standing before a large, wooden door. Nailed to its large wooden frame was a brass sign etched and with the words "Alchemy Lab". "This is so stupid," the Anbu hopeful muttered to herself as she walked in. See, Shion preferred to tackle her problems head on. There was no problem that couldn't be solved with a good punch in the face; the use of poisons and potions seemed like an unnecessary skill. Only a coward would take the easy way out of a fight, and here she was... forced to go against the core of her values.
The door was heavier than Shion thought it would be. Even putting her full force behind it, she still had to work a little to get it open. "ooph... Anyone in here? I'm supposed to do some stupid training here to finish up my apprenticeship," she called into the room as the door slammed behind her. Seconds later, her calls would be answered by the clattering of instruments of all types and a string of curses and swears as a robed figure emerged from the shadows. "Ah, yes... um... Shino, right? No... that's not right. Whatever, come in, child, come in. We've been expecting you. Close the door, will you?" Shion looked behind her in bewilderment. Staring at the door, then back to the figure, all Shion could think is what hell had she gotten herself into.
Had they really been expecting her? She supposed it wasn't too far out of the realm of possibility; it's not like her training was some closely guarded secret kept by a sect of closely guarded monks uptop the Coaches Mountains or something. If that was the case, the least this stranger could have done was gotten her damn name right. "Alright, so what exactly am I supposed to do. Water the plants? Organize your books?" she mocked, referencing earlier aspects of her training. The mysterious figure shook their head and laughed. "No, child, don't be stupid. You're going to make poisons." Moving to a nearby bookshelf, the figure produced a rather large dusty, musty tome. Muttering to themselves as they flipped through the pages, the figure managed to eek out to the girl, "My name is Hideyoshi and I am the Potions Master. Now tell me, child. What do you know of poisons?"
It was a simple request to fulfill, especially since Shion knew absolutely nothing about the subject. Rather than admit that, she had another answer in mind. "Poisons are for a tool to give cowards a fighting chance." Short, sweet, and completely missing the point. Hideyoshi chuckled, flipping to the page they were looking for. "Potions of all sorts are a ninja's greatest tool. Disable your enemies, enhance your ability, and so much more can be done through study of the craft. Knowledge is power, and a working knowledge of the craft of alchemy could save your life in the field." Shion scoffed at the Potions Master. "Power... is power. All I need is a fist and someone's jaw." she snipped slamming her fist into the palm of her other hand, a small blast erupting from her fist as the two hands met. Hideyoshi nodded to the girl. "Hmm... be that as it may, if you wish to join our order you will need to study alchemy. Now come, child. I'll make you a deal. If you can perfectly produce this here potion, I'll sign off on your apprenticeship and you can go back to frolicking in the mud or eating rocks or whatever pass time savages like you enjoy."
Shion gritted her teeth as Hideyoshi insulted her. Keep calm, Shion. Just get through this one task and you'll never have to deal with this jackass again; you'll be out and on your way up the ladder. Taking a deep, supposedly calming breath, Shion forced a smile and moved to read the recipe. Shion took one glance at the ragged pages of the tome before her and muffled a laugh with her palms. "Super Death Potion Deluxe MkII? Is this some sort of joke? I thought studying this junk was supposed to be serious." Hideyoshi placed their hand upon the girl's shoulder and narrowed their eyes. "Oh but it is, child. This is my own special recipe. Incredibly lethal... a single dose will cause paralysis, profuse sweating, and death... all within the short span of ten minutes. Very lethal, but equally as easy to create. I'm sure even someone like you could pull it off... unless you think it's too hard."
Shion quickly brushed the Potion Master's hand from her shoulder and laughed. "See... I know you're trying to play me right now... but I don't care." Shion glanced back down at the pages of the tome and skimmed the recipe. "So... I just make this and I'm free to go?" Hideyoshi simply responded with a nod. "Alright then... let's get to work" With that, Shion got to work on gathering supplies. She'd read a page, go find the appropriate utensils, read another bit of the page, and repeat until she had accumulated everything needed to craft her potion.
Shion began by grinding down each plant she had gathered into a fine paste using a simple stone mortar. Ingredient after ingredient, each perfectly measured to the specifications, were added and crushed into a fine purple pulp. The mixture of plants gave off an oddly sweet aroma, almost like candy left out in the sun. Once last quick glance at the instructions for preparation would confirm that a sickeningly sweet aroma was exactly what she was looking for. Shion then scraped the pulp into a pot of water and set it over a small flame, bringing it to a soft boil. This was pretty easy... and oddly calming. The process of it was actually kind of enjoyable... No, stop. Don't! If you think that, it means the terrorists have won.
After approximately fifteen minutes, Shion drained the boiling mixture into a strainer, then into a funnel which would lead into a small glass vial. Once full, Shion presented her concoction to the Potions Master with a cocky grin. "Well? Can I go?" Hideyoshi wafted the fumes and swirled the vial around a bit. "One second, Child. We have to test its potency." With that, the Potions Master threw back the mixture into their mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. Shion's mouth hit the floor as her teacher began to convulse and fall to their knees. "WHAT THE WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! YOU JUST DRANK YOUR STUPID KILL POISON!" Calling her response extreme would be an understatement. "Hmm, seems you've done quite well, child. I'll sign off on your papers... that is, if I wasn't dying. If only someone around here could craft an antidote... I'd do it myself, but I'm afraid the paralysis is already kicking in... I can hardly move my limbs." Hideyoshi would joke, hitting the floor in a useless slump. "Tik Tok, Child. The cure should be in the book."
Shion had entered into full on panic mode. Frantically, she flipped through the pages of the tome in search of some sort of miracle cure. After a few seconds, she stumbled upon a recipe that had to be the answer. "Ultimate Super Miracle Cure All MkIII... this has to be it" she muttered, quickly getting to work with gathering the ingredients listed and ground them one by one into a similar pulp. Everything was going perfectly until the worst possible scenario played out. Part of the page was missing. Without the rest of the recipe, how was she supposed to finish her brew? Something in this lab had to be of some use... but what? Shion paced back and forth, thinking to herself about what little lessons she had payed attention to. Blank after blank, it seemed like nothing she remembered was working until suddenly... Brain Blast! Hogsweed was a known medicinal plant commonly used in anti-paralytics. Shion quickly rushed over to the ingredients cabinet and swiped the entire container, dumping it strait into the boiling water along with the mush she had previously prepared.
Those few minutes in which she waited for her brew to come to a head felt like eons to the girl. And with someone's life on the line, how could they not. Once complete, Shion hurriedly poured the mixture into a cup and practically forced it into Hideyoshi's mouth. With a few coughs and a few sputters, the Potions Master's breathing became less labored at the mixture did its job. With their life supposedly spared, Shion dropped to her knees letting out a sigh of relief. "Very well done, Child. As you can see, potions arent just weapons. A quickly applied antidote could mean life or death for yourself of an ally. You are strong, and proud of it... that's an admirable trait, but not everyone thinks like you. Your enemies may not share your beliefs about alchemical solutions, in which case, you WILL need to know how to negate their effects." Rising to their feet, Hideyoshi brushed off their robes and signed off on a sheet of paper. Handing it to Shion, they continued. "Anyway, as agreed, here is my signature. Now go... but I expect you back here for further study in the future."
Shion took the sheet of paper and nodded. "Um... thank you... I'll... I'll be back for sure. Sorry for being so stubborn I guess... or whatever. You've given me a lot to think on." With that, Shion left the room and made her way back to the main building of the CORE compound to notify whoever was incharge that she had finished her apprenticeship. After a few more minutes of walking, Shion was within the main ANBU compound. Looking around in utter bewilderment as to where she should even begin to ask about advancement. "Okay... so now what" she muttered to herself, hoping for someone to come usher her along GeneralInfo
__ Kenshin marched to the security gates with hopefully his three police cadets in tow. The guard tried to let him in immediately but Kenshin stopped him and gave him his identification. He arched an eyebrow at the gate guard and made a mental note to give him an earful later. Kenshin would never break a security protocol nor would he want to be treated more leniently with the rules than every other officer in this village. When he was given his identification back he gave Souta, Kojiro, and Todoroki temporary clearance to accompany him in the Compound. As a result, they would be waved in seamlessly behind him. He proceeded into the Compound and stepped into the police force central command. "This is the central command office where all officers receive their orders and where my office as police captain is." Kenshin then looked to one of the rookie officers. "Saito. Could you give these boys their duty belts? They're going on patrol with me. Make sure to put the dog in his K-9 harness as well." Kenshin ordered as he walked into his office with the door open. He sat down to quickly read through the various reports and scribbled down some names of officers on who would receive which case. Once that was done, he looked through the mission logs and scanned the files with the missions he would grant his morning to. These were long files so it would take some time for Captain Kosei to read through them. Meanwhile, the greenhorn patrol officer helped Todoroki with his K9 harness and demonstrated on himself how to properly put on the duty belt for Souta and Kojiro. The belt had handcuffs, mace, and a baton strapped to it as standard issue. "Looks like you guys are going to hit the beat with Captain Kosei. Are you nervous?" The young man's voice was far gentler than they were probably accustomed to. He wanted to ascertain how the cadets were feeling and would be more than happy to put their minds at ease as he would wait for them to try putting their belts on after his demonstration.

The boy peered through the gates curiously, watching the actions of Kenshin and the man guarding them intently. There was information to be gained in everything. Even if Souta would never have the tracking ability afforded by his father's eyes, he could at least do all the little things. They never failed to exceed his expectations in terms of efficacy. For example, he noted the awkwardness of the exchange, regardless of it being carried out wordlessly. He mentally mapped out the path into the village, a habit he formed after Yuno had laid a trap that darkened their entire house. He'd fallen over a stool and lost a loose tooth for his trouble trying to figure out how to solve the problem. For his part though, he looked at the belt with a bit of skepticism and the fixed the patrol officer with a confused stare. In his mind he wondered why he'd use that stuff instead of the jutsu he'd just been training, though he'd never verbalize that. Souta's sprawl of long bluish-black hair tilted ever so slightly to the side before- "Nope." Short, quick, but not curt. Simple but not presented in a belittling tone. A well measured, though slightly too cold response. He'd simply come to two conclusions about the situation. First, the people around were unlikely to know who he was as, while he certainly had not avoided doing things that would land him here like Yuno, he had always taken a fair bit more care in the process. The lack of notoriety was more useful than not getting the question, even if it was silly. Second, explaining that your mom is the Arashikage and you have to deal with her whenever you do anything wrong, or that your cousin is a never ending terror the likes of which the world has never seen, thus rendering the concept of nervous about walking around a village absurd would both come across as incredibly condescending.
Or, in the actual mind of the 9 year old: Don't be associated with Yuno, or the Arashikage, because it'll be a drag. Don't seem like a jerk. Instead the boy simply fastened the belt and tightened the knot on his ponytail, ready to get to work.
Kojiro would walk in directly behind Kenshin and along side Souta. The near mishap on the guards behalf did not go unnoted by Kojiro. The integrity that Kenshin showed by sticking to the protocol even though he was clearly known was admirable to him. Stepping into the command, Kenshin ordered an officer named Saito to issue them duty belts. Kojiro's heart thudded with excitement as he recieved his equipment. He would fit the load out onto the belt securely, looking at officer Saito as he was addressed. " Anxious to begin!" He said in response. He would look back to Kenshin, awaiting orders.

Todoroki was in heaven. The officer who was in charge of putting a vest on Todoroki gave the dog special attention. He provided scratches to his head and his back. Apparently the man was trained in handling canines and calming them in order to apply their harness. Once Todoroki was vested up the dog barked in excitement. He was ready to be a good boy.
__ Once he finished reading over the police reports and various assignments that were set aside for the captain on his return today he stood up from his desk. As he stood he looked over at two katanas mounted on the wall of his office gathering dust. They were powerful, but he had no use for them. All he needed was Purity, his rapier, to administer justice to the wretched. "I wonder..." He walked over, dusted the katanas off, and held them in both hands as he stepped out of the room. Kenshin then approached Kojiro and handed him the swords with both hands and a slight bow in the traditional way. "Take these. I was given these swords as gifts over the years, but I think they are more suited for someone with your powers." Once the swords were honorably passed down he looked at the other two. Everyone seemed to be outfitted properly. "Let's go." The young officer who was helping the cadets get their supplies in order saluted to Kenshin before returning to his duties. Kenshin acknowledged him with a nod before walking out of central command and out of the compound. The Gust District was in his sights.
