Discrimination? None.

That brought her back to her previous question, how was she supposed to tell him for that matter tell anyone what she went through. Some things couldn't be put into words so easily, this would be one of them.

"You want to talk about it?" He asked, his eyes softening ever so slightly.

Yes. Yuko's mind screamed, it was better to get this off of her chest. It wouldn't do any good keeping these feelings pent up her experiences pent up but another side of her refused. She didn't want to show weakness and though she felt silly for it she still couldn't shake killing those men, it was in the heat of battle of course and she was justified for her actions but it was still daunting. She took the life of another human being, she wasn't superstitious but she didn't want them coming back and haunting her dreams, the off chance it did happen that was a whole other issue that she didn't need anything added on. Kami! When did her life become so hectic? A few days ago she would be out training or walking around the compound admiring the gardens or watching the river by the Naka Shrine now she was on a boat with blood on her and a mysterious feeling that kept knotting up her stomach. "No, but thank you sir." She turned down his offer politely.

"Just call be Leon." He said glancing at her for a long moment. "If you're tired feel free to go in the same room as before." He said turning around and disappearing into the quarters of the boat.

How her life had took a turn she wasn't sure if it was for the worse or for the better, she was finally acknowledged for once in her life she wasn't shunned. Though it wasn't Madara directly he still had a part in it, he okayed the mission despite his own misgivings.. And then Izuna's words before she left the compound, and Mikito's before she departed. She had been getting a lot of attention in the span of such a short time, though that didn't make her feel comfortable she wasn't one to be in the spotlight. Although she doubted she'd be a captain when she got back but she didn't mind she could use all the rest in the world and begin to study the hyoton scroll, the technique itself intrigued her it was so complex from what she read which was only the pre-steps to the actual jutsu itself but all the same. But... She rubbed her chin, wincing at the small cut on her forearm that was slowly starting to heal thanks to her medical ninjutsu though it wasn't the greatest it did the job. Why would Madara or Izuna want the hyoton scroll in the first place? Uchiha specialized in katon almost exclusively and for those who were really tenacious raiton was under their belt of elements as well, but she couldn't recall anyone using suiton in her clan. It would almost be like an insult, though she wasn't sure how she just knew it would be.

Which lead her to another question. Why was she to obtain this scroll in the first place? She sighed softly throwing her cloak over her shoulder as she stood up and walked into the quarters, a part of her wanted to stay awake sleep never came easy for her these days, but she needed to rest so she could gain her chakra back it may take a while but she had a lot of time after all. She walked passed Leon who was sitting at the table with a book in hand of what she couldn't say but it didn't catch her interest, she took a breath turning the knob of her room entering it swiftly and tossing her cloak to her bed side. She stumbled forward, head spinning she shook her head a few times trying to clear the dizzy spell but to no avail. I could lay down just for a few minutes. She could see darkness creeping around the edges of her sight swallowing everything, with a step she crashed face first onto the bed sleep taking her in an instant, and how welcomed it was.

Leon silently strode towards the door, turning the knob with a keen stealth opening it until there was just enough room to see the red haired kunoichi. He noticed her hands the moment she came bolting towards him like he was her beacon of light, or something along those lines she was a mess, and blood was drying on he cloak and her hands... Must have been through hell and back. He thought with a grim expression he wasn't honestly surprised that she came back in the condition to say cruel to say but it was common. The Kagyua were growing more hostile, it it was possible, -Yuko's attackers- and the Yuki were beginning to grow restless on the mainland it was only a matter of time before they walking through the streets ten at a time. Well, there was nothing he could do except wash her off, but he doubted she wanted to get douced, better to just leave her alone to her thoughts.

Usagi kept her arms folded in her sleeves as she watched over one unit n particular training out in a field, the responsibility fell on her since Haji was off in the Lightning country and Syrus was speaking with Hashirama on several plans for attack. But she didn't mind doing it, she was happy to do it besides it was good to see where the strength was since she'd be leading a division in good time, she took a small breath listening to clang of steel reverberate in the air for some it'd be the worse sound but for her it was like perfection.

She was told by Haji before he took his leave that Tobirama would be coming sometime to assist her in whatever she needed. She wanted to reject the offer but chose against it, she seen the white haired Senju when their clans first formed an alliance she didn't know what to make of him. She knew of him on reputation alone, and his chakra was massive of course, but it looked as if he was trying to decipher her for something. What that was she didn't know or care she wasn't going to muddle in thoughts of him, but she certainly wished he'd hurry up if he was to get here.

Her senses flared, craning her neck to the side she spotted the stoic man striding towards her with his arms folded over his armored chest, his armor a dark blue in contrast to her black. She glanced at his happuri with the Senju symbol emblazoned in the center of it, she wanted to say it was a little ridiculous, out of humor. But she refrained waiting until he was a few inches from her to begin talking. "Finally made it." She commented not moving from her spot when he stood on the side of her.

He simply nodded watching her kinsmen intently. "We should begin." He stated in a baritone voice as he eyed her intently.

"Right." Usagi agreed with a small tilt of her head, nodding towards a group of about ten men all of them well built and tall, what appeared to be a common trait of her clan. But when you lived in the mountains and a jungle to boot it was hard not to be well bigger, with the higher oxygen levels and lush habitat it would make living both easy and a trailing affair. Housing would be an issue due to all the moisture, but there was ingenuity which always provided a way around that one complication. Tobirama took a moment to stretch his senses around him, eyes widening a fraction, they were powerful their chakra was like a hammer whacking him mentally. That was good though, if it came down to it they wouldn't slow them down. "Normally a division consists of fifth teen people , those four divisions are put in each cardinal direction. However, we have ten men or women to a team give or take so our divisions are a little different they have eleven people in total while the two smaller groups are within a few kilometers. I think we should place one near the Earth country for starters if and when things heat up we could use their terrain to our advantage." She paused looking at Tobirama he had a look of slight affirmation but his cold complexion threw her off. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I didn't know your clan allows women to fight." He replied though it didn't sound the least bit insulting it was more of something that seemed to impress him to some degree.

"We don't discriminate if the women show great potential or prodigious skill they can fight along side the men." Usagi said proudly, it was one of the reasons why she worked so hard aside from helping her brothers. Most clans in this era didn't allow women to fight they were supposed to be at home taking care of menial tasks while their husbands were out in the war. From some point it was understandable, but to not treat them as equals that was wrong and it made her mad on some level, her father despite his faults never put down that restriction in their clan.

Tobirama looked thoughtful nodding his head once. "Hmm." He said more to himself than to her, Usagi was about to respond until she realized that.

"Anyways we'll put one division near the Earth country for starters since the environment can play more into our favor." Usagi continued from where she left off, "Haji has made contact with the Damiyo and your men that were wounded are recovering in his estate." She noticed Tobirama nod in affirmation looking pleased to hear it. "Once they get back we should have a debriefing, for both of our clans. I know Haji will have information on a few things as well as who was giving your unit such a hard time at the borders."

"And what of the other three divisions if we send one to the Earth country..." Toibrama looked thoughtful.

"Well two will be going although the second group will be smaller, they'll tail the first group and set up camp a couple of kilometers away. That aside, we'll position one in the north from here, most of that is untamed wilderness territory we may be meant with resistance but it shouldn't last long." She said curtly, looking him over for a moment, his most striking features were his eyes. Ruby eyes and three markings two on opposing cheeks the other going down his chin, he walked with a composed air. I guess the rumors aren't just hype, but I've got to see him in combat... She said mentally, steering her gaze back in front of her. "The other two divisions will be used sparingly one in the south and another one in the near east, this way we keep tabs on several hundred kilometers at once, any thing to add Tobirama-san?" She asked, resisting the urge to kick herself she got lost in her speech again, well not so much a speech but kept talking. She forgot to ask him of his view, but felt explaining everything from the beginning would be the best route.
