Approximately 14 hours to the start of mission G2-102, three letters were sent out to three randomly selected Genin: Ayame Kidame, Shien Kidame, and Avikame Yuki. Yes, even despite the obvious relationship of two Genin that were also living in the same household, both were given an individual of their own. Why? Perhaps it was because one of the academy's clerical staff wasn't paying attention and made a mistake, perhaps it was because of how some of the academy's staff were seasoned parents that knew the importance of individual decorum, and perhaps it was for a reason so sophisticated that the answer would show itself later in the mission. Either way, who cares? Ayame and Shien still got a letter, though oddly enough, Ayame got her letter first and Shien got his roughly an hour later...by the same messenger. The letter read as followed:

Dear Genin,

You have been called to duty to serve your village. It is your sole responsibility to follow through and report accordingly, punctuality is imperative! Mission G2-102 begins upon your arrival at no later than 13:00 and deployment of this mission will begin at 13:10 exactly. Because of the urgency implied for this situation, failure to report at the allocated time will result in punitive actions to occur at a later time while the mission shall proceed without you. Attached you will find the mission snapshot:

Date: July 9

Time: 13:00

Location: Konohagakure Village Gates

Destination: Konohagakure Fox Shine

Objective: You and a team of two others will act as escorts to Shrine Maiden Yuri Senji and transport her safely to the local fox shrine. Ms. Senji will have in her possession a valuable parcel for which you may be targeted by bandits. The shortest distance between the gates and the shrine entrance will total 4.16 miles if the most common routes are taken. These bandits are armed and a few are suspected of having high-end Genin to low-end Chunin level intelligence, totaling in numbers exceeding 5 but less than a dozen. Please exercise caution and make certain that Ms. Senji is neither harmed nor without goods upon arrival of her destination. Good luck and remember to exercise vitality over violence.

Sincerely,

Kaoru Uchiyamada

Head of Konoha Genin Operations

Appended to the letters too was a complimentary paper strip charm with a red ribbon and a golden bell at the top, on the back their names would be written in a starkly less pretty handwriting. It was not written but they would each do well to remember that they bring it with them.

The next afternoon at five minutes before the three ninjas' expected arrival, a small but decorative caravan came rolling to the stop right at the village gates. A pair of rather squat looking Genin with ruddy cheeks came running out to the double doors of the carriage, standing in front of them as they watched and waited for the relief of their own missions. That in itself being the arrival of the three new local Genin.
