Second Coming of the Swords [Meeting]

This Kazumi appeared suddenly upon a platform, droplets of water blasting up around him as he landed solidly against the water, and from this water the man was directed toward a mountain which sat directly within this water, and rose out from the water to form a platform of solid ground. The entire thing was surrounded completely by the water, and Kazumi simply made paces toward the steps, his cloaked shadow casting an ominous gloom over the surface of the ground as he began walking. He was taking his time, indeed, and was so relieved at what he’d accomplished. Several hours ago, he’d solidified his deal with the Raikage, and now it was finally time to move in. This was the perfect place for their new ‘hideout,’ and the weather was as perfect as always. It was bright, sunny, and heavily clouded to bring down the intensity of the sun toward that perfect level. Just toward his front there was something of a shrine by the name of Unraikyou. This would indeed be the place from which the legendary group of ninja would come together, and set their plans into motion. Nothing matters in this world but money and power, and of course, this group would fetch its own piece of this immense pie. But first things first, getting everyone on the same page, in this incredible book of life. And so the cloaked Kazumi would take paces at the steps of the shrine, climbing up one step out of roughly too many to count, and taking a seat on this one step once he made it close enough, then he would gather chakra in his Communication seal, which was about his arm, and begin speaking into it for all with the seal to hear, "It's time we've come together, and solidified our existence, and superiority in this world. I need all of you, my fellow Swordsmen to come and meet at our new ‘hideout’. From there I'll enlighten you upon what we're going to do. Come to the Unraikyou Shrine in the Valley of Clouds and Lightning, in the Land of Lightning." The man simply smirked beneath Kozan Terumi’s old mask, and formed a hand sign stimulating a barrier around this entire miniature island, and a bit out to sea. If someone were to appear unexpectedly, he would know immediate, and their exact location. He would have no interruptions here. The man was also quite elated, he'd almost forgot about the man he'd killed such that time ago, he'd absorbed roughly 40% of that man's chakra by now. Once 100% of his chakra was gone, his life would also fade similar to his chakra. The Kazumi would stand, gripping Soriken by its hilt and pulling it in front of him. He placed his chakra into the sword, its intense vibrations allowing it to easily slip into the ground. Once there, Kazumi removed his grip, stopping the vibrations, and would begin weaving his hand signs. "Sealing Method.." he began, gathering up chakra in his palms, "WARP!" He slammed his palm against the blade of Soriken, and immediately a seal would crawl across it, and decorate the exterior of the blade. "This will make my sword true to its name," he murmured as he took toward his seat, and placed Soriken back on his back. There he simply waited.

Bean wasn't so happy. He didn't get to go on a killing spree like he possibly hoped. Him and Kazumi made good partners but they were to frontal with there attacks. Maybe Bean would do better with a partner who is tactical and attacks from the shadows. Somewhat like he does. As Bean was walking behind Kazumi he heard the message being given out to everyone. Bean smiled as he went into the ground leaving his sword standing up. He began to speak "Ok guys. Lets get down to business"

[Flashback Post for me?]

Dante entered, coming from a fog of thick clouds, silently and hooded like always. As he walked up toward the others he wondered if Kazumi understood his message sent before. He would attend this meeting before going about his own business as he informed Kazumi. Dante had a different aura about himself compared to when the others had met him. Only one to have probably met this 'new' Dante was Kazumi himself. Dante just joined in the conversation. "Good evening comrades. What are we here to discuss at this time?" he said simply. He wanted to know the importance of such an urgent gathering such as this. As he waited for a response he would stand stong, arms folded. The you probably tell his mind was elsewhere thinking about something else.

Out of all ironic situations, the message about the Seven Swordsmen(and Swordswoman) meeting was being held just as Hana flew into Kumogakure. Yes, she was flying. Actually, she was following after a masked male who seemed to make her fly, as well as Freya, who followed behind her. At this time, the currents of the wind brought her towards the meeting area. Her arms flailed wildly as she was high above the ground, high enough to touch he clouds with her fingertips. Looking back at Freya, who caught up enough, an unfortunate event seemed to pop up randomly. Once Hana held the wolf, she bumped into a nearby tree. Suddenly, gravity took over as she was dragged down by the sheer force of that invisible magnet. Clinging onto the body of Freya, she dragged the wolf down once more as the beast whimpered softly. However, Karma is a bitch. Soon, Freya's tail swept across a branch, the two, ninja and wolf plummeting down. Parting her lips, a scream escaped her lips as she fell. Luckily enough, the two were not high enough to cause any real damage, but nevertheless, Hana did not know that. Landing on the ground with a thud, she laid there, sprawled across the grass as Freya landed on top of her. She seemed to be stunned momentarily before Freya got off quickly, soon nudging the arm of Hana.

Slowly arising, she winced a bit as she rubbed her shoulders in a pained manner. Soon, the girl shook it off, ignoring that jolt as her pale green hued optics seemed to search around, looking for something. Glancing down at the wolf, she muttered to herself softly, "I'm never flying again..." And with that said, she walked forward and wandered around a bit. Now, Hana did not have the best sense of directions. She just happened to be lucky, which helped her find the hideout after some time. Walking in, the girl's mint colored optics flickered from side to side as Freya's own glowing, cyan eyes seemed to peer at each person in the room. She noticed one man with the mask, but, ignored his presence for now. Parting her rose colored lips, the girl spoke, the tone of her voice light, "Hello, everyone." With that said, she walked further into the area. The strands of the girl's chestnut brown hair seemed to be uplifted a tiny bit as she walked, before stopping to turn towards Kazumi.

He felt something shift, it was the barrier that he’d prepared around them, one by one as they came, and he prepared their ultimate goal within his mind. This was his time and he was ready to speak what had been troubling his mind for quite some time. By this time, everyone had arrived, all of the friendly faces he knew too well, the seven swordsmen, however there was indeed a new addition toward the group which was something new, a women. Kazumi quickly picked himself up, and took toward a few more steps; so as to stand over the group. Of course, Soriken moved ever willingly along his back as he moved. “I’m glad you all could make it, except for a few,” his face glanced around at everyone, and he could help but remember that Uchiha that he fought sometime after joining the group, and it turned out he, himself was a seven swordsmen, then there was another unknown, unknown, known as Jigen, who hadn’t shown up either. And of course, there was the previous leader, Ouroboro’s. This did indeed dampen his heart a bit, but none of that mattered now. “Right, down to business,” he responded, looking at Blake, “Our main goal as of now is to retrieve intelligence, hunt, and capture the bijuu. Once we have those, we can take our organization to greater heights! We’ve already recaptured our home, and this lovely new scenery here of Kumo’s. The Raikage is feeding from our hand. It’s quite simple really, well use this and Kirigakure as our hideouts, report to either in case of protection. I also want you guys to know, and girls that we need to complete our mercenary missions, as that raises credit with our works and enhances our pocket, not to mention powers. [pause] We will team up to tackle the Bijuu, and those teams will be as follows….Exodus and Hana…Blake and Dante…for now I’ll ride solo until we’ve retrieved a NEWER and ACTIVE member, as I’m most capable to take down a Bijuu on my own. Jinchuriki’s are to be captured and stored in either Kiri or Kumo, safely tucked away from would-be hunters. [Pause] And please congratulate Dante on heading the takeover of Kiri, and become its newest Mizukage,” the man smiled, heard clearly, even from behind his father’s mask. “Inactive members of the Seven Swordsmen are to be hunted, and have their swords retrieved, this excludes Ouroboro’s since he’s been quite active as Exodus here says. We need to keep a close eye on his actions as well, and thanks for that bit of info Exo-Senpai. With this stated…I bid you all farewell, and have fun capturing Bijuu.” The man smiled as he formed a ram seal, “Oh…I forgot, Hana, you need the Communication Seal that I’ve given everyone, It will allow us to communicate and share information in real-time,” the man instead gathered chakra into his palm, as he had formed more seals than the tiger, and would attempt to smash his palm against Hana’s wrist, and from there a seal would crawl out. He then retrieved a scroll from his pocket and handed it toward her. “This is all the information about the seal and how to use it. In case a Bijuu is found and captured, I have the ability to seal it, so simply reach me via the seal. Meeting Adjourned!” He created the Ram seal, and body flickered off in a sudden, a plume of white smoke left in his wake.
(Exit.)

[Meh I'll roll with it lol, going ahead to exit]

Dante listened attentively as Kazumi spoke about the groups plans and goals. He smirked slightly as it all seemed for to be for the bettering of the group. More power. Oh how Dante loved the power, it would seem his hunger for it was endless. With the meeting over and everything said and done. Dante would turn toward Blake, "See you around I guess." he said coolly. He would then turn toward Exodus and Hana, giving them a nod to bid them farewell. He didn't know when he'd see those two again or even Kazumi but he expected to see Blake sooner. With that Dante walked off into the distance, a fog growing around him as he disappeared from the area.

As the leader of the Seven Swordsmen spoke to the people who gathered, Hana's gaze seemed to flicker over towards the person she had a history with. The man wearing that strange mask. She remembered seeing his face before and how he saved her. Glancing back over to Kazumi, she seemed to blink her mint hued optics once as he teamed people up. And ironically enough, she was teamed up with Izanangi-sama. Soon, she turned towards Kazumi who announced her name as he directed some part of speech towards her. She watched as he grabbed her wrist, soon placing a seal on her flesh. She shifted a bit as her gaze flickered around towards the people she did not know. Her gaze soon met Dante's as she nodded back to him in a polite manner. As the leader and the Kage left, Hana soon flashed a small smile towards the others before leaving herself. She had other places to go, just like the others.


{Exit}

The meeting turned out as expected for Izanagi. Kazumi wanted to outline their goals and objective and that he did. It however pained the heart of the old fox. To think he would have to go up against Ouroboros at some point. A grin formed on Izanagi's face, it was too good to be true. Their former comrade seems to have plans of his own, although a little different compared to the swordsmen. There was also the fact that, the swordsmen were a couple of men down, at least three important members. But being the kind of person that he is, Izanagi couldn't afford to let any of this bother him at all. Instead, the swordsman did what he always did and leave a grin on his face. His head nodding at his fellow comrades from time to time. There was one high point of the meeting however, and that was Kazumi decided to get straight to the point. Now that everyone had left the scene, Izanagi too decided to flee, since there was a couple of missions that required his attention. "Hallelujer and see yer later". The fiend said before darting off like the others did.

[Exit]

The meeting turned out how Bean actually expected believe it or not. He wasn't fond of his teammates but one thing made this a little better. A beautiful woman he worked with. Her name was Hana it seemed. Bean knew he would like working with her to say the least. As Bean realized the meeting was over he said hmph as he vanished underground. All you could hear was his sinister laughter.
