Just as Shinra did, Ieyasu was among the few that had signed up for the mission this Oji character had put up in the mission board room. Seeing his friend's name on the list was one part that led to him signing up for it, the other being because of certain words he held for the Black Bear clan whenever he last fought The Rise. He didn't necessarily think he was stronger from before, but he did know that if it was closer to home the mission in question would most likely be much more manageable.

With a day to prepare in advance, Ieyasu made sure to clear out his schedule for this day and the next. Although it was selfish to do considering his team needed to train more together and learn more on teamwork, it didn't concern him all too well. He held grudges like a the cold, dead grasp of a rotting corpse, and even though he was trying to be his best for this village it was hard to set aside the furious and malevolent passion he held towards anything associated with Gyugii, the one man who hurt Ieyasu's first friend.

In the early morning of the next day, Ieyasu was quick to be seen outside of his house doing stretched and other very menial exercises to get his body prepared for the day. He was found wearing something rather casual as he usually did, the big black jacket he always had that contrasted against the the bright crimson undershirt he wore with, the trousers of a similar tone to his jacket so as to provide a scheme, and regular wooden geta. It was worth mentioning however, in preparation for the unknown despite the mission's low ranking: Ieyasu wore his happuri-styled forehead protector on with the mission while his jacket and pants were layered over with metal forearm and shin guards.

The shinobi world just wasn't safe anymore, from small to big things. No one expected the Suna Massacre to turn out to be what it was, Ieyasu never thought that he'd find Gyugii and Gouda on his last mission; etc.

Around midday or so when the sun was high within the crest of its arc, Ieyasu headed out towards the village to go and seek out Oji at the village gates. He walked right down to them where he'd find the rest geared up and prepared for the simple mission. A surprise graced his presence, another one of the members of his squad: Ousatsu. He didn't recognize the girl by them, but he paid it no mind as he called out to them while approachimg.

"I'm here for the mission as well, I guess the whole squad is here." Ieyasu said with a bit of an uneasy smile plastered on his face, he was hoping to find some solitude in teammates he could genuinely ignore while he stomped anything they crossed paths with. He let out a bit of a sigh at this minor realization knowing he had to stay on top of things and couldn't just abandon things like he was trying to.
