The Uzushiogakure Recruitment Plan

Ayame suggested, "I already know a place where we can direct our search. The Tenki clan, a roaming group known for their ability to manipulate the weather, could be a strategic addition to our ranks. If we succeed in recruiting them, we could have them oversee crucial divisions such as agriculture and Sensory techniques."

Hiro interjected, curious, "Is this the same clan Yota belonged to?"

Ashina added, "Furthermore, we must not overlook the importance of enlisting civilian ninja. Sending out our spies to gather intel across the Elemental nations, especially in smaller territories like the Grass, Snow, Rice, and Noodles countries, could provide us with valuable connections."

Takeshi pondered, "Have we considered targeting the major villages? Insights from our informants in The Land of Lightning point to an exiled clan facing political pressures from the ruling Daimyo."

Ayame took charge, declaring, "I will spearhead this mission. Additionally, there are numerous lesser-known clans situated along the borders of the Land of Fire that we should also explore."

Ashina circled back to the home front, proposing, "Within our current village, we can start integrating our young genin into various departments, gradually honing their skills with promised advancements in jutsu. We can task senior jonin to bring back families or orphans during their missions."

Ayame nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will begin organizing our expedition, preparing a team for a lengthy two-month assignment. Our goal is to engage with new clans, civilians, mercenary families, and even provide sanctuary for a few orphans." As Ayame and her team assembled, their resolve was unwavering, signifying their readiness to step into the unknown. Watching their departure from the island, Hiro bid farewell, "I will miss Mom's cooking, but I am excited to reunite with friends. Farewell, Tousan and Ojisan."
