After a few minutes regaining his spirits, Kayle stood up once more and looked toward Itachi.
Kayle: "What are the latest news we have about the Mizukage?"
Itachi: "The latest big event was Momochi Zabuza attempting a coup d'etat on fourth Mizukage seven years ago, a lot of ninjas defect from Kiri, and Hoshigaki Kisam had joined the Akatsuki even before me, we've been partners for a few years now and we get well together but he is too loyal to the Akatsuki, we may have to destroy him with it in the future"
Kayle: "Too bad... He is very powerful, I wish we could have it at our side but if his loyalty lies within the Akatsuki then he will have to die with it, and what about our next mission? is everything ready ?"
Itachi: "Yes! Shisui is already on spot, and I will start heading there now, everything was planned to the smallest detail there should be no accident?"
Kayle: "Perfect! I will be spending a few days here in Kirigakure before heading there too, I shouldn't be late, by the way, the last report that I received about the fourth Mizukage said that he was injured and he was getting weaker and weaker any more information about it"
Itachi: "The fourth should die within one or two-year maximum, I couldn't get any more information about the Akatsuki without appearing suspicious"
Kayle: "Okay that's good enough, there no need to risk it for now"
After discussing a little more, Itachi and Kayle finally went their separate way as Kayle started heading to Kirigakure.

Fourth Mizukage POV:
Meanwhile, in the fourth Hokage office, two ninjas were reporting their latest missions in detail.
Sugai Yuu: "Yes Mizukage-Sama, I couldn't see him fight but he killed three chunins while handling several genins alone while presenting himself as a genin which is completely absurd... maybe he is a spy from konoha"
Fourth Mizukage: "You said he was from the roaming squad and looked young? we have not enough reasons to capture him, and it's strange for him to be this high profile if he is trying to spy on us... let's just have someone keep an eye on him"
Sugai Yuu and Miyake Kyo completed their report before leaving the office, as they left a figure appeared out of thin air inside the Mizukage office.
Tobi: "That's strange, why would Konoha send a join or a peak chunin to Kirigakure, the relation between these two villages should be okay or at least stable, Did they understood that you were under my control? Nah there is no way..."
The Fourth Mizukage stayed silent as Tobi kept rambling alone for at last twenty minutes before he concluded.
Tobi: "If our information is correct he should be heading this way, let Meï Terumî handle this situation"
Fourth Mizukage: "Understood !"
A little while later Terumî Meï was convoked inside of the Mizukage office.
Terumî Meï: "Did you need me for anything Mizukage ?"
Fourth Mizukage: "Yes, a Konoha Ninja from the roaming squad should be appearing within Kirigakure in the near future, you will be charged with keeping him company and try to find out the reason for his presence here"
Terumî Meï looked slightly mad at this order, it's been a little while since she started suspecting something was wrong with how the Mizukage behaved, but up to now, she didn't find any proof that her suspicion was founded, and right now the Mizukage wanted to give her such a low ranking mission which made her lose her cool.
Terumî Meï: "A ninja from the roaming squad? Mizukage-sama are you serious? a genin or a chunin is more than enough to handle such a mission... I'm sure there is more important affairs you can trust me with..."
Fourth Mizukage: "This Ninja look very young almost like he is freshly graduated, and his suspected strength could be up to the Jonin-rank"
Terumî Meï: "What? how could this be true? it's a known fact that the roaming squad of Konoha is only available for the genins and chunins, and all the Jonins are under the direct order of their Hokage..."
Fourth Mizukage: "That's why you were chosen for this mission, any more objections?"
Terumî Meï: "No Mizukage-sama! I will do my best"
Fourth Mizukage: "Good! be very careful to not start a conflict with him, it may be exactly the thing they are looking for, as long as he don't show hostility and doesn't break any of our rules he will be our guest"

Kayle: "*sneeze* Someone is talking about me! maybe it's a beautiful girl that fell in love with me"
Maru: "Why are you smiling... it's creepy knowing that someone is thinking about you, without knowing who... it could be an old pervert that was stalking you for years"
Kayle: "wow... that got me shivers running down my bad, but don't worry it's just a superstition it's not like it's real"
Maru: "Well let's speed up, if we are fast enough we could get there by nightfall, I would rather not sleep in the wood if I can sleep under a roof"
The two companions started running a little faster at the idea of a warm meal and finally a comfortable night of sleep.
