Ded Lee: Ded only heard everything being said by the Hokage himself. Nodding to it all, he then heard Keldran's name be called and then his squad dismissed. With each and every other squad being called and leaving, it came to Ded then while he was a bit shocked to be given temporary Jonin rank. Hearing his squad, he would only then smirk as he saw the two genin standing there with their dogs, indicating they were Inuzukas and then the white haired girl with the eyepatch. Keeping the smirk, he then yelled out "Oi, the two dogs and Eyepatch, you're with me." As he said so, he turned in haste as what could be seen from it was how his blue hair flowed behind him and his long, light brown coat doing the same. Katana in hand and his fire lit, he made it swift as he ran towards the main gate with his squad members probably behind him. As they reached so, Ded merely was given the reins of a beautiful brown horse as he then nodded towards the guard whom gave it to him and said "Keep the village safe." With that, Ded slapped the reins against the horse as he took off, expecting his team to already be behind him. He didn't care if they were apart of his squad at this point or not, this was a mission for the village just like last time and it was something important, so anybody left behind would merely have to catch up. The rear guard set in place!

Aki Inuzuka: As she jogged around following Ded’s scent she suddenly came right in front of the white haired Anbu from a few weeks earlier that handed her ass to her in a rather vicious unexpected spar. Something about missing curfew but beyond that Yasu Hatake recognized her and she did the same from their childhood in the days of the academy. Aki was faced again with her transgressions back then as an infamous and brutal bully that really gave the girl a hard time. Surprisingly Yasu wasn’t upset with her and the intensity of the moment seemed to fade away rather quickly after that. Was she participating too?

“..Yasu! Yo!..Ah..”

It was then the names were called, demanding their attention. The very moment her and the Hatake’s name were recalled simultaneously her overexcited fangy grin spread across her pale cheeks nearly splitting her red clan markings.

“..Haha! Yes! We’re on a team together! Oh yea you just watch Hatake I’m gonna show you what I can really do!..Oi lets go find Ded Sensei! I know where he is!”

With a hop in her step she made her way through the crowd to the man himself beginning to ascertain them. Lilly was here too..another Inuzuka like her but she wasn’t like the rest. She had a reputation of being a half-breed and the center of a lot of controversy at least amongst the youths of the bloodline. Once in a while she said a few things to the girl but not much.

“..Eh?..don’t tell me you forgot me already..”

Ded didn’t seem to remember their training or who she was at all, granted maybe he was giving a show of disassociation before the mission really got underway. The annoyance faded instantaneously and altered to something much more wary and uncomfortable when she realized that their mode of transportation were going to be horses.

“…Agh..it had to be these things? I hate horses..”

She muttered meekly, Miki peered out at the horses’s black eyes and gave a tiny growl. Her horse was as black as night with a few white spots on it’s back. Miki shared her dislike for the evil hooved creatures.

Yasu Hatake: “Hai” Yasu responded to Ded, her head nodding slightly as she began to jog, but a familiar voice called out to her, causing her to turn a bit. Her exposed eye remaining half lidded as she looked to Aki, the expression under her mask calm. “Oi~” she called out in response, offering a short wave to the girl. Beneath the black facial mask she offered a light smile, the friendly expression easy to read due to the way her eyebrows had moved. “Be on guard Aki, I’m sure this is going to be very dangerous. Don’t be so eager~” she added as she began to follow the direction Ded had been heading; the main gate. The young Hatake walked in a lazy fashion, her messy white locks dancing with the wind as she trailed behind Aki. Yasu didn’t provide a response to a few of the things Aki had said, she remained calm and focus. Any waste of energy could be detrimental, she knew this. After all they didn’t know how long this mission was going to take, better to be safe than sorry.

Soon Yasu was given reigns to a snow white stallion, who eyed her carefully. Yasu provided a nod to the guard as she climbed onto the horse, her eyes watching Aki and Miki as they fumbled a bit with the horse. The young Hatake offered a short laugh before taking the reins of her own horse before moving her hands in a whipping fashion, her heels tapping the sides of the horse. In response the creature took off, gravel digging up behind it as she travelled along Aki until they reached Ded. In a way Yasu was looking after the Inuzuka. It was due to her first mission outside of Konoha, the time she lost her Sensei. The young Inuzuka had no idea the hell they were heading into, and it worried her. Yasu didn’t want any deaths this time around, this time she was stronger and hopefully that was enough to protect her team.

Lilly Inuzuka: As she listened to the Hokage making his speech, she heard that she was on a squad with Ded, Aki and Yasu. As she heard Ded yell out, she would only then follow him with the other two as well. Once they reached the main gate, she hopped up onto the horse that she would be riding for the time being as she was with her squad.
