"Ahh, yes, I do see where that would be a boon. How's Oyaji?" Pausing for another sip, a happy sigh escaped. "Wonderful as always, by the by, my dear." " Miyoko huh? Nice name! Well, I tried kid, time to bail!" With a quick look over his shoulder and a casual salute, a thick geyser of black smoke erupted from his mouth and quickly spread, Ichiyuumaihi dashing down the hallway towards the nearest window. Tsutomegi Utsuro just felt like crying.

"Aw crap!" Takeo exclaimed, taking off after his copy without a thought. "That's not Tsutomegi! Don't let him run off" "You think?" Miyoko-sama growled before Flashing down the hallway. Yeeeeeah, he was definitely in trouble. There were many times Miyoko felt thankful for her affinity for Fire and the various abilities it afforded her, but few of those were as overlooked as the improved ability to sense those others with Fire affinities. Especially when they were, or had been very recently, using chakra. Even with the smoke, it was pretty easy for her to position herself in the fake Uchiha's path. It would be any second now...

Window would be dead ahead. Just melt the glass. Little collateral damage, he could escape, change back over, and be home free. Hands flew through a few signs, and a gout of flame jetted straight forward. Please...just stop...

So he wanted to play at that game, did he? Miyoko moved to cancel out the Fire jutsu... ... and a powerful sedative Genjutsu permeated the hallway. Miyoko staggered, managing to dispel herself from the jutsu, if only because the woman casting the Genjutsu likely didn't care if Miyoko became fully sedated or not. Her mind and body were still clouded and disoriented, and that was enough to stop her from doing anything in her state in this particular situation. One of the Uchiha boys - presumably the real one - was out cold farther down the hallway, and the guard from earlier was slumped against the wall; Miyoko wasn't sure if he was awake or not. There were benefits to having had Tensei for Genin teammates; she'd had a lot more practice dispelling Genjutsu than many shinobi. Then again, it wasn't likely the guard or the Uchiha boy were the targets of this particular Genjutsu. After making sure nothing had been lit on fire, she looked to see how the jutsu had affected the fake Uchiha, to find...

" Crap.." That was a lovely hue of blue Ichiyuumaihi was feeling right about now. The hallway was already starting to pitch and his limbs felt like lead. He had one shot, and one shot only. " Run yer timid little ass off, kid.." We don't go down without a fight!felt very disoriented, in a good deal of pain, and something was trying to get between his ears. The smoke was starting to clear, and he'd be seen any second. Falling out of a window seemed like cake in comparison. Utsuro had never had cake, that he could remember, but people spoke highly of it, so cake it would be.

"Oh, he's just fine," the woman's voice said from next to Ayaka, seemingly between sips of her own cup of tea. "He's quite anxious to hire someone; says I shouldn't be running around in here quite as much. I suppose he's right. But.... goodness, child! Why didn't you tell me you were that hungry?"Ayaka started, then blinked back down at her plate. Had she eaten that much already...? Miyoko sighed, her head finally starting to clear after dispelling the genjutsu. Well, that, and it seemed the focus had shifted from a blanket area to one particular individual. He seemed about to go under - what was Kaori playing at? She could have easily dropped them all at once - so she reached out to stop him from hurting himself...

"Good, good. And I cannot fault him there. A treasure like yourself should be treated as such, after all." Ryuurei grinned, gaze shifting temporarily to his companion. "And it could just be your cooking, Obaa-chan~." So close..and yet..Someone had gotten in his way. He could only assume it to be...Miyoko? Everything smelled like smoke right now anyway, so it was hard to tell.. About anything, really. Blackness was closing in all around him, and it wasn't because of Ichiyuumaihi. " If you...you are....g-gonna dissect me...." He mumbled barely coherently. "Use...the old..incisions."

............ And just like that, the Genjutsu was gone entirely, almost as though it had never come in the first place, except for the fact that almost everyone in the hallway was now picking themselves up off the floor. One of the guards was picking up the real Uchiha boy off the floor, while Miyoko helped the other boy - Tsutomegi, his friend had called him - back onto his feet before turning to glance down the hallway. And there she was, Tensei Kaori, the very image of serenity in an outfit of green and black trimmed with gold. Except no one that serene had a gaze filled with cold, restrained fury.

We're in trouble, ain't we kid.Utsuro just slumped over, despite the best efforts to stand him back on his feet. This clearly had to be the reason Tensei were to be feared and regarded with extreme caution; He felt like he had been hit with a runaway avalanche.

"My office. Now."That was all she said before turning on her heel and gliding into the room herself, but the soon-to-be Hokage delivered the command in such a way that even Miyoko herself found herself moving to obey without a thought. The Uchiha boy almost tripped over his own two feet getting inside, and the guard moved only slightly less quickly. As this Tsutomegi character seemed to be relying on Miyoko for any form of vertical support whatsoever, it seemed like she would be the one to get the other half of their little gathering moving. "C'mon, kid," she told him softly. "She won't bite, but it's best to get in there now."

" She won't bite, but it's best to get in there now." It wasn't a bite he was worried about. His head just rolled a little in response, feet attempting to shuffle along mostly ineffectually. Utsuro really did not feel well.

Kaori was seated at her desk by the time the rest of the group filtered in, her hands folded delicately on the desk's surface and her face schooled to as near as she could come to perfect stillness at the moment. Akina shut the door behind them with a soft click before leaning almost casually against the edge of her own writing table. There would be no running off that way. "You can begin," Kaori told the group at large, almost conversationally and with none of the cold fury she had displayed outside, "by telling me what just happened and why you all were shooting off fire and smoke in my hallways."

Well. In an extremely convoluted fashion, he had gotten to speak with the Hokage after all. Now, if he could just find the capacity to speak, he'd be in good shape. He tried to look around for something stationary to brace himself against, but the room was still spinning. Hopefully somebody else would have better luck explaining things..at least partially.

"Oh, for heaven's sake," Kaori sighed. "Someone find the child a chair before he collapses. Akina?" The redheaded woman nodded, and by the time she made it over to the group, Miyoko and the Uchiha boy were settling the other young man into a chair. After waving the two back a bit, Akina placed a hand to the boy's forehead, using the diagnostic jutsu Kaori herself had taught her to make sure he was all right. In the meantime, the Uchiha boy stepped forward, seemingly offering to speak up, and Kaori shifted her attention to him. "We weren't trying to make trouble," he explained with what appeared to be genuine sincerity. "But, well, it's kind of urgent that he got in to see you, and I know a Genin like me just asking wouldn't get anywhere. And he was about to get run over down in the lobby. I ran off and left him because I thought if someone found him up here, they'd just think he was lost and he wouldn't get in trouble, but I know for a fact they wouldn't like me here leading him around." A smart plan, Kaori admitted to herself, if a bit on the foolish side. "As for why it's urgent... well... you kind of saw it yourself just now."Kaori turned to the other boy, who was still in Akina's care, softening her gaze as much as he could. She wasn't pleased with him, true, but he already seemed about to faint. No need to put him all the way over the edge... at least not yet. "Is this true, child?" she asked calmly. Patiently. Let him see that - as Miyoko had so kindly put it - she did not bite. At least not when a boy she was questioning in her own office was teetering on the brink of becoming a patient instead of just a guest.

What was she doing to his head?! Give me a few, kid. Switching so much ain't easy! Just hold it together!Flinching back slightly from the short red-headed woman, the panic was thankfully enough to clear his mind a little. Takeo-sama was trying to explain things, and the Hokage seemed to be listening...to the point she turned her attention to him. "..I...it's...m-my fire spirit.." Utsuro began awkwardly, knowing fully well that no-one in the room would believe him. The few he had ever tried to explain himself to never did. "I...cannot control him. I...need a place to train....that is....why I came to Konoha....why I wanted to speak with you...Hokage-dono.." He trailed off, staring into the grain of the wood floor.
