Quickly, more people began to appear one by one; all those brought onto the mission. Ieyasu's train of thought was scrambled as he was still trying to figure things out, noticing Ranta briefly before another lady came around and gave a simple greeting to them to. Ieyasu looked at her briefly, before shaking his head toward her question. Then O arrived, he straightened up and waved to him, "Yo!"

After waiting just a little more, Ieyasu caught sight of Azarias first. He beckoned the genin over, once close enough Ieyasu grabbed him by the arms already seeing and hearing him ask these questions in a panic.

"Azarias, I'll answer all those questions in just a few seconds but we need Mushi here first. Just take a moment to breath, you'll be fine," Ieyasu came to a bit of a pause unsure what to say next. His tone wasn't very soothing or careful like another person might've done, but Ieyasu was still concerned his approach was just a little wrong.

A little after Mushi came down over to the two of them and they were set, it seemed O needed her for a brief second. Ieyasu just shook his head and shouted, "Be quick!"

He didn't watch too much of what was going on and would only continue once Mushi was back.

"Alright," Ieyasu placed his hands on Azarias' and respectively Mushi's shoulder as well. He looked them both in the eye before informing them of all that was happening.

"If you don't already know, the Hokage's daughter was kidnapped by some people we've yet to identify. The only issue is that there are four signatures found by the sensors that are exactly like hers, so we've got four squads and we're going to track one of them down. Now: I need both of you with me here. I can't have you guys scared, and... and."

Ieyasu stopped for a moment, he knew what he was about to say next but he hesitated. He hated this kind of cheesy shit, but Ieyasu also knew it was true.

"You don't have to be! The Hokage chose each and every person around us for a reason. We all have the potential to be heroes, and this is where the three of us begin that journey: As a team!"

Ieyasu let out a deep breath, shaking his head a little. He bit down at his cheek, grinding his teeth against it while looking at the two. He remembered a brief amount of their abilities from reading on their information before they joined his squad, summary of what combat potential they each held.

"Now let's go over a few things before we set out. I'll be at the front of our formation in case anything comes at us head on. Azarias stand in the middle so in the event we are attacked you and your bugs won't come into much harm. Mushiki you're in the back, because if we're flanked you can use your water jutsu to repel them long enough for us to notice and respond quickly enough. We have to keep our heads together, and communicate efficiently," Ieyasu hated saying that knowing his past actions, "If we don't, we can possibly die. Now, get ready to move; from here on out we are the heroes.`"

Ieyasu turned partially looking out from the gates, looking for any signal of them to head out on their mission or anything of the like. While waiting, he reflected on everything that had been leading to this moment. He was all too familiar with the mistakes of the past, but he couldn't risk even approaching the thought of accidentally bringing them onto this mission. He couldn't fail his two genin now after everything he just said to them.
