Our Responsibility?

Kokoro strolled through the village; the village had still been slightly on high alert due to t he happenings of the Chuunin Exams. Her Gesshoku Akatuki cloak blew in the wind. Her Kiri Headband hung polished and tight on her left arm. The big blade on her back lay coated in chakra infused paper.
Finding her way to the central building, where the Mizukage should be, she walked straight through, being very familiar with where the Kage’s office is, as well as familiar with the people around.
Kokoro knocked on the door as she reached the office. She had been accompanying the Mizukage on her off time, but she had never been appointed as an official escort. She was not yet comfortable enough to talk out of term, let alone, enter without knocking.
“Lord Mizukage? It’s Kokoro… may I have a moment of your time?”

The navy blue haired figure would turn facing the young kunochi as she made her request for time. The Mizukage waved her hand for the kunochi to come closer. "Of course what is It that I can help with?" She would smile with her eyes closing softly. Her voice was of course soft but seemed to hide her strict and series ways.

Kokoro bowed in respect to the Kage before she stepped into the office.
“I couldn’t help but wonder… after the events during the pre-final break. Zabuza’s demon is what you mentioned during the body’s discovery… Zabuza as in the former Seven Swordmen, I assume. I am simply here to ask if there is a deeper matter here in which should be the Swordsmen’s responsibility. I would like to aide in any way that I can. Be it recon, assassination, escorts… anything that may help. Of course if this is an ongoing matter. I apologize if I am crossing the line here, but I am trying to do my duty as a Swordsman and a Kiri-Shinobi…” she said.

Mizukage would sigh softly making it known as to what is going on and what is needed to be done. "You have no need to worry about that what so ever. The information of it all should be kept secret as if you were a Jounin it would be different for me to give you a task or known information about it all. Even as a Swordsman your job is with protecting me...or killing me in the future of events." She would be serious about her word. Carefully as the past events of Mizukage and even Daimyos have always been targeted by their own for some unknown reason.

Kokoro nodded.
“I suppose you are right.” She said, as she thought more about the possibility of having to assassinate the Mizukage. “Well, I apologize for taking up your time. I never found the need to climb rank before. I became Chuunin off of chance, really. I need to climb to Jounin it seems to properly serve as an advocate between the Swordsmen and the Kage.” She bowed to the Kage.
“If you find the need to give me any missions or tasks, please do not hesitate.” She would wait for either any last words, or her dismissal…

The Mizukage nodded to her as she began waving her hand gently for the female to leave. It was a sign of good faith to the Mizukage. For some if she did not like them they would have been forced out by her killing intent.
