When the Hokage responded, Hara tilted her head curiously. Did he just tell her to actually get out? Was she being exiled? Now that would be a new one... Luckily, the young man had the heart to elaborate before the trickster could get kind of, almost, maybe, not-really hurt. She had naturally heard the rumors as well, though she hadn’t actually expected them to be true. Kages weren’t supposed to have time for Genin, especially not for personally training them. Still, if Boss believed in the rumors, she would believe too. It was kind of a funny story anyway.

Hara picked up the files and fell silent, actually listening for once. While she rifled through them, she carefully memorized each and every detail, major and minor. It was a talent that had served her well over the years. The Land of the Water, huh? It had been a while since she had last visited the place. And she had never met the Mizukage in person. Now this was interesting... And didn’t feel exactly feel like a punishment... More like a reward. And Boss must’ve known that as well. She glanced at the young man just to show a thankful smile, just barely managing to keep a teasing comment as a mere thought.

Aw, you do care after all.

The trickster tossed the files back the Hokage and grinned. It sounded like someone had finally found their sense of humor. She certainly wasn’t complaining. "You got it, Boss. Better get that money ready. I’ll be back before you know it." Her confident claim was backed up by a joking salute. "Hara Kin is on the case!" With that excited remark, she leapt out of the window and vanished into the village. Even if the door had been unlocked, she would’ve still used the flashier exit. Her mission was clear and plans were already brewing beneath the smile. In the meantime, the Hokage would get to enjoy a trickster-free village. ...For few days at least.
