It wasn't every day that a stranger walked up to the gates of an unknown village, full of swagger, intent on joining their ranks. Well, it was every day, but Dai didn't know that. Scythe bobbing on his back, the young ninja sauntered up to the gates, the most annoying him greatly. Takigakure wasn't exactly renowned for its great weather, but since entering the Water Country a few days back, it hadn't cleaned up at all, and Dai was sick of being cold and unable to see. Doesn't it ever clear up here? The Genin mentally moaned, rubbing his arms a few times, then remembering that weakness wasn't befitting of a shinobi. Then he went on rubbing. What really annoyed him was that he was surrounded by rainforest, yet it was still cold; what kind of a place had he walked into?
Fortunately for Dai, a path had been cleared through the forest, with it well worn by merchants, dignitaries, and aspiring Mist ninja. Most of Kiri's actual shinobi just leapt through the branches, and it was very likely the young man had been spotted. Not that he was aware of it, of course. But, nobody had stopped him, despite the colossal weapon on his back, or maybe due to it. Flicking his white hair from his face, Dai finally reached the gates, grinning. Stretching slightly, he held his arm up and waved. "Yo!" He called.
What happened next would determine the fate of the teen. It was entirely possible that he would be filled with more kunai than the Kiri training targets, which actually had several swords embedded down to the handle in them, but Dai hoped that wouldn't happen.

Shen reclined atop the wall, nose buried in a copy of Icha Icha Nirvana (the bookline continued long after the author's untimely death) as he waited for his shift to drag out. Most people didn't come by the front gate, with trade entering through different routes, making his job quite dull, and the call of some kid all the more surprising. Head sticking out the wall, he saw some snot-nosed kid standing before the gates, arms waving excitedly. Irritably, Shen called down to him. "And what do you want, then?" He demanded, before recalling procedure. He could almost picture the blank stare of a Current operative, quietly seething with fury that anyone would forget procedure. Shen didn't like those guys, or their masks. They freaked him out. "Uh, state your name and business here." He repaired, clearing his throat in some desperate attempt at authority.

Even Dai wasn't sure what he'd expected. A bloodthirsty madman, dripping with the entrails of his enemy, some stern, stoic character who threatened to splatter him across the main street of Kiri if he ever stepped out of line, even a gruff stranger with an oversized sword. But an irritable, bumbling Chunin was not one of them. "My name's Dai Washi. And I'm here to meet the Mizukage." He explained, scowling at the Chunin. Who was this guy to talk down to him? "Fuckface."" He finished, sneering at the older ninja.

Washi? Shen was slightly shocked by this. Washi wasn't the most common of names, and the Mizukage had never indicated that he was part of a clan, which potentially made this guy related to him? He didn't look at all like the giant, and he looked too old to be an illegitimate son, unless the Mizukage really got around. However, he was interrupted from his musings by the insolent little twat's insult. "What did you say to me?!" He demanded, fuming. A deep blush crossed Shen's face and he prepared to ring the kid's neck. Kunai materializing in his hand, he prepared to embed it so far in the teen's skull that he couldn't even reach the handle.
Elsewhere, Neptune looked on, bemusedly. "That'll be quite enough." He said. This caused the guarding Chunin to pause. Even out of his mask, the Head of Current commanded respect, known as a feared ninja and the Mizukage's right hand man, his more covert duties hidden to the public. "S-sir. I-I..." Shen stammered, slamming his hand to his head in a salute. "No need to worry, ninja, I'll take it from here. Nodding several times too many, Shen sat down rapidly and began flipping through the nearest book in an attempt to appear busy, only to realize he was now reading pornography in front of a commanding officer. He screamed, dropping the book like he would a searing object. Shaking his head, Neptune smiled his boyish grin and looked down at the teen.
He'd been listening the entire time, and was unsure whether the boy's name indicated familial ties, or whether it was simply coincidence. Either way, the kid had spunk, and Neptune knew his friend would appreciate it. He didn't detect any notable chakra coming from him, although he'd been fooled before, but at this point the man wasn't sure anybody could actually kill Sugoi. Perhaps against his better judgement, and perhaps liable to regret it later, Neptune scratched the side of his face, an innocuous gesture that actually saw two Current members resolve to tail him, prepared to neutralize the target should he prove dangerous. "Sorry about that, come right on through, Dan." Neptune called down, waving him through as the gates began to creak open.
He just hoped this guy didn't take after a young Sugoi.

Dai was ready for this asshole. He'd been itching for a fight since he'd entered the country, and before he even got through the gates, a shinobi was going to attack him. Kirigakure was certainly living up to its reputation. Luckily for Dai, well, from his perspective it was more a tragedy, a mysterious stranger arrived, and diffused the situation. "Asshole." He murmured under his breath. After some weird gesturing, the man waved him through, and Dai was just about to thank him-glad that there was someone around here who had some sense, when he heard the fatal faux pas. An expression of pure rage crossed the young Genin's face as he stared up at the man. Blood rushed to his cheeks as he yelled "My name's Dai, asshole!"
It seemed Neptune's fear had been realized.
Continued.
