[Ishtar]

"Ugh, is it morning already?" said Ishtar squinting in the sun, shining through his windows.

"Lord Sagara. What shall we do next? Ishtar had this strange chakra enveloping him during the mission while being attacked by the rogue, Emina." explained Kejon. "Hmmm, has he had any training progression so far?" asked the Taokage. "Yes, walking on tree's, activating his lighteye-"
"Wait, what? The lighteye? At this age?" asked the Taokage.
"Correct." said Kejon. "The only one thats ever activated lighteye around Ishtar's age was Kai, my little bro." said Raiku. "Kai is special. His lighteye is something else. He may even grow up to be stronger than I, the Taokage." explained Sagara."But we don't know for sure about Ishtar. Better to start off as young as possible I suppose. What trigggered it?" asked Sagara. "I don't know." replied Kejon. "I guess details don't matter at the moment, Raiu, Kejon, you two are assigned a mission. This is no ordinary mission though, this is a special case." explained Kejon. "You mean..." "Yes. A training mission." said Sagara.

"Son, have fun on your mission." said Sosuke, Ishtar's father. "Okay, bye mom and dad." said Ishtar hugging them tight before he leaves. Raiku and Kejon stood at the village gates. "Lets go Ishtar, we don't have all day for five minute hugs." said Raiku. He quickly whispered to Kejon "He can't always be THIS attached to his parents." "He's just a kid?" answered Kejon. "Right." said Raiku.

"Kitsune and Tanoth. Queen and Toshiro. Zack and Akio. Naraku and Hugh. And Myself and Yashamaru. We are sticking with that." explained Zero. "Oh goody, I'm still paired with that hyperactive Hugh." said Naraku. "Hey Akio, looks like were going to be puppet buddies." said Zack. "Dream on, doofus. What makes you think were buddies?" asked Akio. "Hey, you don't have to be like that...buddy." said Zack. "Shut. Up. You annoy me so goddamn much, don't give yourself an invitation to hell." threatened Akio. "I'd like to see you try." egged Zack. Akio grit his teeth. "Hey Zero! Why'd you pair me and this fool up together?!" yelled Akio. "Calm down, Akio. With both of your creations combined, you two are the most compatible with each other, ability-wise." Akio sat back in his chair crossing his arms and looking away from Zack mumbling something. "Say that out loud, please?" said Zack smirking. Akio looked like he was about to do something terrible to him. Naraku stared silently. "Akio, you complain WAY too much." said Zack still smirking. Queen and Toshiro sat across from each other glaring. "Well, what do we have here?" said Queen raising an eyebrow with an enormous grin. "Shut up, Queendorkness. Zero! Explain why me and her are paired up? She scares me. But mostly irritating." admitted Toshiro. "Oh really?" said Queen putting on an even bigger grin and raising her brow higher. Toshiro was forced to look away in Naraku's direction, but could still feel the uncomfortable stare on him. "Problem, Toshiro?" said Naraku. "Queen and Toshiro, you two are being paired up, because I could not find a better pairing. Learn to cope with each other." said Zero. "WHAT?!" said Toshiro. "What about me and Kitsune?" asked Tanoth. "You two would make a promising team with each other." said Zero. "You can cover her slow reactions with your fast reactions, she is very unpredictable. With her wild battle style and your reaction speed, you two make quite a formidable duo." explained Zero. "Sweet! Tanoth, we are being paired!" said Kitsune. Tanoth replied ".........May we aid each other in difficult situations.."
"Now, well just wait for Hugh to get back from her mission, that reminds me, Naraku. I have a new task for you. It requires you to hire a group of assassin's. Bribe them a hefty amount." asked Zero politely.
