The moon wears silver armour [Shikamaru, Open]

[Yamanaka Ino]

_{{Lol, Tsunade-Sama has a list? xD}}

Ino was not put off or intimidated by the glare or even the collosal chakra surge he put on. It was nothing compared to the Chuunin exams, when she saw Neji and Naruto's fight, even Temari had more chakra in possession. She simply 'hmphed' turning her back to end the glaring contest and simply go on.

"Oh...And if you guys didnt know.I dont care about this mission at all."

Ino looked more annoyed than ever. Sure this mission was meant to be easy, but this was a serious mission. If the medicine from the caravans had just been kept on being smuggled, then in the end, he'd be the one dying of poison in his bloodstream as the herbs had been smuggled to his enemies instead.
"How dare he! A mission is not always just given on a simple whim. You're such a fool... your strength, all your knowledge and abilities render you useless if you cannot work with your teammates. I learned that at Genin level."

"And You Ino...I think you have a problem about the way i act.Incase you dont know i dont talk that much..its a waste of time.I heard of your hyper-activeness and i seen you at the...Nice going passing out when the Sound Nin attacked.Atleast i had my share of kicken some ninja ass.By the way good job losing to Sakura."

Ino looked at him a little confused, she didn't pass out when the Sound ninja attacked! She was possessing the body of Kin. If he didn't understand the way her jutsu worked, then why was he acting like he did? Ino's temper was soaring to new heights, her eyes blazing- she hated him so much, she didn't even want to look at him.

Both the boys had leaped into the trees now, probably knowing she'd do something dangerous and/or stupid. She was stopped by the calm, reasonable tones, laced with only the slightest contempt of Shikamaru.

Her anger lessened.

"Hey watch it. I don't care if you are a jounin. And I really could care less with how much chakra your showing off to us. All your proving is that your a snob."

Shikamaru had stood up to a Jounin, for her sake? Because really, she did know that the Jounin was more annoyed by her than Shikamaru.

"Our first priority is the mission right now, we're close," Ino managed to finally say, her anger withheld.

"If I'm going to be the leader, then I should act like one." Ino thought, controlling her rage and moulding it into chakra. "...And besides..."

She smiled up at the two boys who were on the trees. "I didn't lose to Sakura, and she didn't lose to me. We both were winners in that fight. Only me and Sakura know about that."

"Well? Are we going to catch those smugglers or not? Tsunade-Sama needs the information on what they're doing!"

[Keiji Fuzashi]

Keiji Cracked his neck and flipped from the tree.Taking out a kunai and swinging it on his finger he grabbed it and stabbed his finger.Crossing his hands and slamming them on the ground he said,"Kuchiyose No Jutsu."And Summoned A white Rat.Leaning Down and whispering something to it,it left off.

Looking to Ino he said,"I told my summoning to search the area for any sign of smugglers.If not that anyone in general thats supicous.That should help although it cant actually pinpoint it.Just tell us the direction.And soory about that outrage..I get cranky sometimes.Usually i am more mature..I am just tired from all the work.Back to back missions i mean..."Sighing he rubbed his eyes from a slight headache."

[Nara Shikamaru]

"Well? Are we going to catch those smugglers or not? Tsunade-Sama needs the information on what they're doing!" Shikamaru chuckled at his friend's eagerness on this mission. Ino was certainly raring to go and pick a fight, or at least get some action. He knew her abilities would do the mission good too, especially since its completely based on stealth and info gathering, not intense fighting.

Shikamaru then watched as Keiji did the summoning jutsu, and a white rat appearing. 'That's it? He made a blood pact with a small rat? What a guy...' The chuunin thought with a groan. Although it did help though, considering it should be able to get the info and come back without being spotted, and even then he doubted the smugglers would find it all that suspicious.

"I told my summoning to search the area for any sign of smugglers. If not that anyone in general thats supicous. That should help although it cant actually pinpoint it. Just tell us the direction. And soory about that outrage..I get cranky sometimes. Usually i am more mature..I am just tired from all the work.Back to back missions i mean..."

Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders, nodding his head and understanding what Keiji meant. Back-to-back missions, non-stop, that can give somebody a headache. "Its fine." He said simply, sitting back down on the grass again. He was getting slightly bored by all the waiting, but knew he had to maintain his patience.
