Team 21 was briefed on their mission at the hokage's office. They were supposed to meet with team Keika later that day at the rendezvous point. Their mission was to eliminate two members of a new organization known only as Asashin no rīgu. They were warned that there enemies were ruthless and strong. Team 21 got to the gate where Team Keika were waiting. They set off towards the location of the two people they were to eliminate. "Team Keika when we get into battle our teams will split - you fight one and we fight the other, got it?!" Itanji told team Keika.
