As per the Raikage's word, Honiko had an entire wing of the Kumogakure hospital to use as the Society's base of operations. The group had arrived and had gotten settled save for the Cherry Blossom who had not spoken, nor responded, nor moved since stepping on Balerion's back. The Society had converted the wing into a forward operating base with rooms serving as barracks, war counsels, shrines, and various other functions. The banner of the Society was hung from one of the wing's windows announcing to the world that the organization was present. Balerion had landed on the rooftop and was still carrying Cherry Blossom. Nozomi and Raijin had left for their matches although she had sent word through her minions that they should come back to the hospital as soon as their matches were done. Honiko would have her spies watch their matches and report back to her so that she could knowledgeably speak with them about their performance by the time they arrived. Nozomi had given her the play by play about Rin and she'd need to have a lengthy conversation about Balerion regarding his presumptuous plan to recruit the Uchiha. For now, she needed to do something that was long overdue.
Cherry Blossom had been residing on Balerion's back the whole time as she had never moved. The girl was sullen and while Honiko had no problem with sullen Strays she would not tolerate insubordinate ones. The girl had the audacity to ask about her family and when told to be silent on the subject she chose to engage in back-talk. Akira had been spared severe punishment only because they were in the midst of a fairly sensitive mission. Now that they were done with that though, it was time for Honiko to show Akira why it was unwise to disturb a dragon. Honiko climbed onto Balerion's back and unceremoniously grabbed Akira's head using Chakra Enhanced Strength. She attempted to slam the Kaguya's head into her knee with enough force to knock her unconscious. A pool of blood would then erupt from the young woman's scalp as it made contact with the Dragon Sage's knee. Honiko would sling the now unconscious Akira over her shoulder and step off of the dragon's back. She had plans for Akira and none of them were particularly pleasant. It was a shame because although she felt nothing for the girl, she had warmed to her prescence and was considering doing her a favor. It was the reason she had asked her initial question about any residual hatred for her clan. Unfortunately, a combination of angst and undeserved pride had caused her to say the wrong thing to the wrong person. The end result of course would be net negative for the Kaguya.
Honiko walked to the exit but before she did she turned to Balerion who was resting with his eyes half closed and a smirk on his lips. Honiko's clone was on an opposite building nearby with Mind's Eye active along with the other previously active effects, passively gathering natural energy and awaiting any drama.
"Balerion"
"Hm?"
"I'm going to the Wastelands to talk to C. Know that you are playing a dangerous game when you involve my disciples in affairs they have no business knowing. You think that because you're his son that makes you untouchable but you forget what my Master did to the last Dragon Sage and what he swore to do to you and yours if you cross us."
The mighty black dragon shrugged and responded:
"You mistake me Lady Honiko. The Dragons of Watashi Wastelands are ever at your service. You need not even ask and we will fight for your interests."
Honiko did not even bother responding to the half-heartedly flattery that was supposed to serve as an apology. Instead the Dragon Sage left the rooftop through the entrance with and entered the hospital proper. She would inflict sufficient damage on Yanagi to ensure the girl would not be waking up on her own accord. Not enough to kill her or cause permanent brain damage but enough to render her comatose until Honiko had use of her. The girl would be put in a room adjacent to Honiko's office.
Honiko's office was fair bare bones. It contained a desk with various reports, a bookshelf, the symbol of the Society hung on a wall, and a small shrine dedicated to Jashin. Honiko stood in front of the desk and waited for her disciples to arrive. She had read the reports on their matches and there was a few things that needed to be discussed before they were ready to move on to the next phase of the organization's plans.
