After talking with the Kazekage, you headed straight to your home. Before gathering any of your supplies, you decided that it would be best to read about what the mission would be about. Or at least, what your role would be in the mission.

Just before you sat down, someone decided that it was the best time to visit. For a moment you thought of ignoring the knocking, but it did not stop so you had to see what was the urgency of this person.

However, it was none other than Benjiro who was standing there with a grim face. "May I come in?" Before he declared why he was there, he asked. After allowing him to enter, he took a seat opposite where you were going to previously sit. His eyes landed on the document, he almost seemed to glare at it.

"Are you alright  Benjiro?" Upon hearing your voice his eyes snapped to your face and after a few seconds of gazing at you, he sighed. 

It's not right to simply call him by his name, but he always insisted that you called him as such. "I know you spoke to the Kazekage, so I wanted to personally brief you on the mission. Do you remember Oshin and Haru?" 

It didn't click fast but you remembered them, they were the ones who accompanied you to the Leaf Village. "Yes, I remember them."

"They'll be part of our team. The information that was given to us contains the names of these criminals. We don't know their location, but we do know some of the places they will visit. Our mission is to investigate the location of one of this places that holds these girls captive. However, we've tried to get the information by following them but that mission was unsuccessful. Now," he took a deep breath as if what he was going to say pained him, "your role in this mission is to act as a normal civilian. You'll travel to one of this locations, and you'll be provided with a temporary home until these criminals arrive. If they arrive to this village, it's possible that they'll try to kidnap some girls, so, you'll make yourself an easy target once the target has been confirmed. You will not fight back, you'll act just like a regular scared and afraid civilian girl. The rest of the team will follow, unfortunately, not as close as we would have liked."

The mission sounded simple but dangerous. A stabbing sting of doubt crossed your mind and heart. Although you would be able to fight back if it was required, you doubted that if they were not close by, things could get complicated and even deathly for you. But it was required to do, and if you even managed to save this girls, or at least offer your team their location that was good enough. Even if it meant that you could die in the process. "I understand, please continue."

"We will be close by, but you must understand that things could go wrong." His hands made fists. "However, if by any chance we lose track of you and your location we advice you to keep playing your role and learn as much as you can about any familiar faces, names or new clients." 

Wait a minute. He doesn't meant that if it came to that, that you would...No, right? "And by that...Do you intend for me to..."

His eyes softened with a hint of regret. "Unfortunately, if it is required of you, yes. It's very important that you keep gathering information, it will be very useful to not only save these girls but others as well."

Just thinking about having to exploit your body for information made you gag. You've heard when the girls did that, some of these men were considerate to a degree while others were just brutal. Now you having to endure that? Your body shook with fear just to even think about it. Standing up, you paced around trying to digest the information. If you had known this beforehand, would you have still accepted the offer? Maybe not, it was so...Disgusting to think about it.

"I am afraid this is how infiltration works. In infiltration, most of the Kunoichi do something similar if it is required for the mission. Even the Shinobi do this sort of thing as well if it will grant success to the mission."

That didn't ease your fear, you escaped from that future and now you're going to do it willingly? Hina. She didn't get to live, you did. When you killed those monsters it had been too late for her and others too. Taking a long breath, you returned to your seat but you did not look at Benjiro. "I'll do it, no matter the cost." 

"Good." You heard him stand up but you did not hear his steps. A couple of minutes later, he placed his hand on your shoulder. "If I had any say in the matter, I would have kept you here and prevented you from joining the Infiltration team. However, it is up to you, and you have already made your choice. We'll be leaving in an hour, gather your things and we will meet at the Village's entrance."

As he made his way to the exit and opened the door to leave he paused, "I'll do my best to keep you safe." Without giving you time to respond, he shut the door and left.

Thoughts of how you wished things would have been if you had done something different. But it was not the time to doubt things, not now. So, you decided to gather your supplies and get ready. Once done, you left you home and headed to meet your team. But when you arrived there, you were surprised to see the siblings there along with your team.

Kankuro's eyes brightened upon your arrival. "So you're leaving now."

Temari rolled her eyes as her brother pointed out the obvious. "Anyway, this fool didn't want to let you go before saying goodbye." With her thumb, she pointed at a stuttering Kankuro.

"H-hey! That's not true! You also wanted to say goodbye!" He accused.

"Whatever."She looked at to the side. "We just wanted to let you know that we're going to the Leaf Village in a month to take the Chunin Exam, so get back here before we leave."

"Well then, I better get back here as fast as I can, don't I?" Sharing a smile with the two siblings, you offered. Your eyes shifted to the red headed male. He didn't say anything, just stood there looking at you silently. Benjiro motioned for you that it was time to leave, so you nodded. "I got to go, be safe." Sending Gaara a large gentle smile, you followed  your team. 

They probably didn't know the level of danger of this mission, but you were glad that it was that way. They knew your history, and if they knew about what you were about to do, Temari would have beaten you and called you an idiot. But you knew that even her, she would have done the same thing if she was in your shoes. 

As you followed your team, deep down you wished that they would follow and find the location to save this girls. It made your heart heave to even think of what it would do to you if you had to offer yourself to those disgusting monsters. But you'll have to see once you begin your mission.
