The messenger was looking around for where the jounin could be. The messenger self was a low chuunin ranked shinobi. Somebody that was specialised in delivering messages. His target was now Ryo Tetsu. A Jounin with a good record and a member of the Storm Guard. Deciding to look if the said person was inside the headquarters of the Storm Guard. It was just next to the entrance of the Raikage Office. Heading towards the location, the messenger kept his eyes and ears open to see if he could spot Ryo.
Tetsu Ryo Tetsu was in the SGHQ training hall, meditating. he opened an eye when the messenger approached. receiving the message and dismidsing the chunin with a nod he red the letter.
Tetsu Ryo,
I am in need of a capable jounin that can handle some things. As Kumogakure is growing again underneath my leadership, I think we could try to see if we can organize some more materials and such for the village. That said, I want you to organize a group of around ten shinobi. Of your own choice. Once you have done that, make your way to the border of the Frost and Lightning. Though the Frost is our vassal and we protect them, I want the land border between the two better guarded. The Black Watch patrol could need some more help to maintain a better control over this strip of land.
-The Raikage."This should be interesting" he mused to himself for a moment, reading a few more times to make sure he understood correctly. Ten shinobi was doable. the best choice was probably three jonin, three chunin and then genin team, so another jonin and three genin. That way the next generation gets some experience while under the eye of their superiors. perhaps he was leaning unto his own past a bit with that logic, after all he was a genin in the last wars front lines and those weren't his fondest memories. at all. But he had to think of the future of the village as a whole.
He got up and went for some paper, and chunin weren't hard to select. He had to be tactical about it though. teamwork was important but so was the environment. he would have to pick by elemental affinity as well as experience. He had some ideas so he wrote down 5 options. Next were chunin, at least two of them would have to have some experience on team missions. So he wrote down some options but wrote a note to check other options. As for the genin team he would simply ask the Raikage who to bestow the experience on.
With that in mind he narrowed his list of jonin. given that he himself was a water and lighting affinity he picked one experienced fire affinity, one wind and another lightning. this is the hidden cloud village after all. As for the chunin he selected one with a noted proficiency with genjutsu, one for kenjutsu and the final chunin was a new chunin still trying to find his nitch. with this list in hand he went to the raikages office, Knocking and awaiting entry.
