Catch and Release policy.

[Otomeken]

Once again, Blink and Cirrus had been summoned to Tsunade's office for a mission.

"It's a dangerous mission," Tsunade said, swinging around in her chair to face the two of them. "But you're the only two I can think of to send on it." Tsunade looked at Cirrus specifically. "I'd like to send Yuki with you as well, but he's already gone on another mission..." She continued to look at Cirrus, almost scrutinizing him. "I'll give you the chance to back out of this... but if you accept, I'll put it on your file as an A-rank mission as incentive..." Tsunade paused to allow questions...

[Blink]

Blink raised his hand, "Does that go for both of us?" he asked, normally he wouldn't, but just being seen with Cirrus seemed to make him his accomplice. Even if he didn't do anything. Well, anything really bad.

[Cirrus]

Cirrus swallowed and glanced at Blink. "What's the mission?"

[Otomeken]

Tsunade nodded yes to Blink's question.

"It will take you into the Water country. Fairly close to the hidden mist..." Tsunade left it at that for a moment, but added as an after thought, "but not into it..." She waited to see if Cirrus would back out on the spot...

[Blink]

Blink nodded, "what are we to do?" he waved a hand at Cirrus to reassure him, You'll be fine." he smiled.

[Cirrus]

Cirrus went pale and swallowed.

[Otomeken]

Tsunade examined Cirrus' reaction, but when he didn't say anything, she continued. "There's a policy at a lake in the Water Country of Catch and Release. Except some people... Most people aren't. Releasing that is. They think a sea monster lives in the lake, and have become paniced. They're trying to catch all the fish that they can before the Sea monster beats them to it and they starve. It's pure lunicy. You need to end the mass fishing before they fish the lake dry...."

[Blink]

Blink looked around at Cirrus, how were they supposed to stop the fishing? He guessed they would have to prove there was no monster.

[Cirrus]

A mission with water...this was a mission with water. Cirrus told himself that to bring up his confidence and nodded. "Okay."

[Otomeken]

"Good, you leave immediately," Tsunade said and handed them each an envelope. "A map, and tickets on a coach to get you there as fast as possible. I don't have to tell you to keep this under your hat. If the hidden Mist gets wind of this, they'll show up, and they won't treat the town's people as politely as I'm sure the two of you will..."

[Blink]

Blink gave a small salute. "We can do it, right Cirrus?"

[Cirrus]

Cirrus nodded. "Yeah." What was he scared for? They wouldn't recognise him. Their new disguises would work out well for the mission.

[Otomeken]

Tsunade picked up the bottle of sake, one that Blink would recognise since it was different from her usual brand, and poured a glass. "Away you go then, and make it quick..."

[Blink]

Blink left with Cirrus, "So we're going back to the water...should we stick with our alter names in case those guards come by?"

[Cirrus]

Cirrus nodded. "That woudl be best."
