After two days of being back in the village she was ready to take on her duties as a Chuunin. There was a stronger sense of motivation in her that had been docile over the past two years. Ever since she began dating she put her training behind to focus on building relationships. But now was the time to get back in shape and start putting effort in her rank. After all she had be thankful for Takeo by funding her clan monthly. She would be wise not to abuse that allowance. Being a rather inexperienced Chuunin she had limited options for missions. A lot of them were menial labor and errands to be done around the village that could not be trusted to by a Genin. She was assigned with a partner. A man who went by the name of Kyoji Hoshigaki. His surname was one she was familiar with. Her brief sensei was that of the Hoshigaki. Tall, muscular shark people known for their harsh battle ethics much like the Kaguya. Tsubaki could certainly see the Hoshigaki as battle-ready. Sharks were infamous predators of the sea. The Kaguya had their own sense of savagery in battle, however a lot of that was doubted due to how orderly their society is.
From her feet Tsubaki wore a pair of thick rubber and leather combat boots. Embedded in the soles of the boots were iron plates to protect the feet from caltrops and the toes protected by a shell of iron as well doubling as a means to increase kicking power. She wore a pair of black pants which were modified like her boots by having bands of steel woven into them along her shin providing greater protection. These pants also provided a thick plastic-rubber compound at the knees and parts of the thigh and hips granting maximum comfort when crawling and moving about difficult terrain. White bandage wrap secured a navy blue holster against her right thigh containing a single kunai for quick draw purposes. Around her waist she wore a heavy utility belt holding the bulk of her gear. Two navy blue holsters were together on her right side together containing shuriken.
Around her back side she carried her hip pouch which was suspended above her right buttock containing the rest of her ninja gear. The left of that in a slightly canted fashion was a full length Chokuto in a navy blue scabbard. It was not lacquered or polished being bought from the local smith being a functional tool rather than a pretty one. Over her body she wore a light mesh shirt which was covered by a heavy, thick long sleeve top which served as the Kirigakure specialist combat armor. It was an insulated jacket which compound material which served as electricity insulated much like the rest of the advertised gear. Rings of steel where sown into the fabric from the lower rib cage up to the chest and to her upper arm. This provided additional support while still being lightweight to the most vital areas of her body. Of course this aided the main portion of her body armor which was a standard, slate gray flak jacket over her torso provided heavy support from blunt impact and cuts. This model was the common kind with elongated shoulder pads and extensions from either side protecting her lower abdomen and back even more. Across her chest was a brown leather baldric which carried two folded fuuma shuriken held by their rings store mid back.
On both hands she wore a set of black gloves which had a pair of steel plates on the backs of them for maximum protection. Topping off the design Tsubaki wore a heavy black cloak over everything concealing more of what was described fastened securely around her neck by a knot. The hood was down to show off her elegant features and provide maximum visibility. Tsubaki stood 5'6 and weighed approximately one-hundred and forty pounds being at her peak performance. Her skin was very fair to the point of being almost pale. This was coupled by her long, silky white hair extending to her lower back and sapphire blue eyes which anybody within Kirigakure that had knowledge of her clan would know she was certainly Kaguya, and the leader nonetheless. She wore no makeup, yet her natural complexion made her remarkably beautiful.
She stood against the gate leaning with both hands clasped behind her back swaying her hips forward and back casually waiting for Kyoji to arrive. Today they were going to move boxes. Their first task was to first reach the docks, which were located in Ota. From there they would find their ship and begin the task: picking up barrels and crates from the ship's cargo bay and loading them onto wagons to be carried into Kirigakure or other smaller settlements dotting the land. The task required trust to leave the gates unsupervised. Certainly after Yanagi's escape from the village. Trust and endurance which many Genin did not possess. It was a meager job, but Tsubaki was glad to provide her service.
