Meeting

Somewhere else in the village a figure stood on the highest skyscraper. The rain poured, and the lightning flashed. The man was not known, but he may be somebody or just nobody. The person did not know of anyone being there. "This village seems to have suffered severe losses but nothing it cannot fix under my control", said the raikage. Aisu had heard from the villagers as he was moving through the village that kumogakure had invaded it. From what he could see also there was no resistance which could mean that the kage had fled or was killed.

The man jumped from the tower while landing at each story below till he got to the ground. Today would be interesting. Indeed it would. Lightning sparked throughout the sky. Thunder erupted and rain continued to pour. "I wonder why a leaf blew into the rain...but now I must gather my ninja." said the man. A leaf is shown flying through the rain in the rain village. It continued to fly around freely.

Appearing almost out of thin air, the young Kaguya's body appeared before the Raikage with the freely flowing leaf in hand. His speed in combat was almost unparalleled but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Raikage could easily keep up with his movements. Turning to the Kage he spoke.

"Fancy meeting you here"

Aisu turned his head to the sound of movement only to be met with a man who seemed to be in bad condition. The young man yawned a bit as the other guy with the leaf spoke. "And who would you be?" Aisu could only wonder who this man was and his business for coming up to him. Normally people did not like to be around the raikage because he was only but a teen. But looks can fool and such it has during many times in his life while moving to villages. An arm stretched out to scratch his head while the rain came down endlessly around them. The village was certainly a dreary place yet nothing much could be done about it.

Saitou's body cringed slightly as he looked up at the sky and the endless rain pouring down on the two men. Though the wounds had closed they hadn't fully healed just yet. He felt no pain...he never did but he couldn't fight his autonomic response to it. Being a Kaguya had its advantages and being a human had its disadvantages.

"Saitou Hajime....Kaguya. And you are Aisu correct? What brings you to Amegakure?"

Aisu could only wait to see if more ninja would show up rather than he go get them. But in the meantime he was stuck with this interesting fellow, something seemed familiar. "What village are you from and how do you know my name?" The man didn't remember ever giving out his name during the conversation. Maybe it was just a coincidence but it was too good a coincidence to be seen as one. A low rumbling from his stomach told him that he was hungry but it could wait a bit. He just wanted to find out how some strange man he had never seen before could know him.

How rude. But then again maybe it was more rude of Saitou to ask for this man's name without first introducing himself completely. Apparently Aisu hadn't realized just how far and wide his name had spread in Kumogakure and it was rumored that he would eventually become the Raikage despite being so young. Of course the Kaguya had no hopes of ever becoming the Raikage nor would he even want to. Being an assassin meant working from the shadows and that would be damn near impossible if he was the leader of a village. Not to mention he'd probably have to stop randomly killing people.

"Kumogakure. And it would seem as though you are much more famous than you give yourself credit for."

Aisu was surprised to know that he had finally met someone of his village so that could mean there were more nearby. Yet he was still not off the fact that his name was known before he could give it. This certainly ruined the element of surprise so all he could do now was roll with it. A thin smile on his lips while he remembered the days when he was still striving for power. His dream had come true and now he was he raikage for the village hidden in the clouds. "Famous huh? I don't think I'm famous for anything actually. Thanks for the compliment though Saitou." Maybe things wouldn't be so boring while waiting and talking but he wished it would go faster. The raikage did not like leaving his village vulnerable for such a period of time no matter how short.

The conversation was quickly becoming stale and the Kaguya was slowly starting to lose interest. Maybe being around Nanashi had changed him. He no longer enjoyed the company of regular people who had regular conversations. Without the ridiculousness and the stupidity that his "mentor" brought to the table when having a conversation, things just seemed boring. Odd since when he was actually in the prescence of his mentor, his manner of speaking only served to annoy him to no end. What did interest about this conversation was when Aisu thanked Saitou for the compliment. Apparently the new Raikage misinterpreted his words.

"It wasn't really a compliment, just stating a fact. Anyway, you have to state what brought you to Amegakure. Also Ares and Nanashi should be around here somewhere."

Aisu grew more and more impatient as time passed with still no sings of anyone else in the area. His mind still wondering if his home was safe and it should be for the time being. Words and noise was what he heard when Saitou talked but he didn't know how to respond. "Blunt aren't you....well if you must know when I was defending the village against some strange woman and her army some genin showed up. They told me the rest of the kumo ninja were here so I came to round all of you up. Those two better hurry up though, I dislike leaving the village unguarded for any period of time. His words showed how impatient he was at the moment but with good reasons behind his behavior. It was without a doubt important that a kage be able to defend their village at any given point. While readjusting his posture, the young man waited still for more people to show if there were any.

Bah. This is what happens when you forget something important to you. You end up been late. Senju looked over the area he entered Amegakure from, wondering how far ahead Aisu gotten from him. Senju began to hear voices close by and quickly headed over their. Seeing Aisu, Senju was relieved, he didn't have to be alone for long now in an unfamiliar land. Senju quickly moved over to where Aisu was, and quickly apologize for his lateness.
"Sorry there Aisu, I forgot something dear to me at my home. Luckily you didn't gain too much ground on me. Oh how rude of me,"
Senju said as he realized Aisu wasn't alone.
"I didn't realize that you had a guest. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Senju Hatitori, nice to meet you."

Day dreaming. One hell of a thing. Gyou was out in another world as if he got hit and landed on a street he hadn't known the name of. Very odd one might say but this was caused to his lack of focus lately. The man quickly day dreamed as Aisu and Mr.Senju quickly left him in the dust. As Gyou began to realize he was lost he stopped. He stuck his thumb in his mouth in the middle of a blizzard and quickly let the thumb blow north. So following the direction Gyou found himself in a industrialized village. This had to be the home of the Rain ninja because it was a mix of rain and snow commonly called sleet. He noticed his two travelling buddies along with his older brother. Gyou quickly landed next to his older brother not making a sound as he began to talk "Why hello brother. It seems you are on a rampage here ehh? Where is uncle Nanashi.?"

As Vanity was making her way through this village, on her way back to a boring land known as Kirigakure, she spotted something interesting occurring. It would seem that a group of what she assumed were ninja were having some kind of gathering. Vanity figured she'd stop by and see what kind of people they were. Maybe they were more interesting than the bores in Kirigakure. She would enter the setting behind the group of people. She removed the hood of her cloak that protected her hair from the ever falling snow. She wanted to take the bland cloak off all together but with what she was wearing underneath it she'd probably get frostbite all over. As she approached the group slowly and she would pull her hair around in front and play with her ends. "Oh well aren't I lucky. Not everyday I find a group such as this." she said in her usual soft tone from behind the pink and black mask she wore. Her icy blue eyes observing everyone present. One would have to guess in what context she was speaking of this group. She would stop a few feet behind the group when she spoke. "So boys, what are we up to?" she questioned.

Aisu simply nodded as Hatitori spoke to him about why he was late which he didn't really care for. As long as they both were here he was content and that much closer to rounding up his men. A quick look around showed him that no one was around but then a voice spoke to him. The voice was soft yet tender which could only belong to a woman of a mature caliber. The young man turned his head to the direction of the sound to see a woman. She was certainly a beautiful site but at the moment he had no time to fool around with anyone. "Unless you are of my village it is of no concern what we are up to." Aisu's tone was low and stern since he was really not in the mood to deal with snotty people. His gaze was level with her's, but he felt no killing intent from her. So maybe she was just a random passerby or rather maybe she was a ninja of the village that was conquered. Aisu turned around to face her while walking out a foot in front of the other ninja behind him. "Who are you and what business do you have here in Amegakure?" Aisu wondered if she was a kumogakure ninja and if so he would apologize for his rudeness. Yet if she stated otherwise then who knew what course of action would be taken at this point.

Ugh. Ok so he definitely preferred the company of wild, crazy, ridiculous human beings when compared to the people that now surrounded him. Accompanying the Kage was apparently another shinobi from Kumogakure who took great pleasure in introducing himself in a long and drawn out manner and with such....respect. It was disgusting yet amusing. In response the Kaguya simply stared at the man as if he was speaking an entirely different language. He was about to say something exceedingly rude and disrespectful when the man he was going to see in Kumogakure suddenly arrived. His brother. He was one of the few people other than Nanashi that Saitou would actually fight with and for.

"I wouldn't call it a rampage...just having a bit of fun to combat the never ending boredom that is life as a samurai. Nanashi is off being annoying as always and I doubt he'll show up here."

As if to kick him in the ass for showing a second of interest in conversation a woman appeared and started talking. Shouldn't she be in the kitchen making food for a man or something? What happened to the good old says where women were not allowed to speak unless specifically asked to by a man. Things really need to go back to being like that again. Kunoichi, what a laughable concept it really was. Then again he was almost killed by a Kunoichi just now....

Senju breath a sigh of relief when this female ninja appeared behind them and began talking. The way Yuan brother looked at Senju made him get a cold frightening feeling run through his body. Shaking off the terrible feeling he had, Senju observed the new comer. Senju admitted that this Kunoichi was dressed like he never seen before. Something about her presence didn't give off a murderous intent, but that didn't make Senju relax any easier. He would wait to speak after she answered the raikage question.

A messenger, a courier nin basically, appeared before Saitou as he presented the message before doing some handseals to flicker away, which happened to be a paper written in terrible handwritten Kanji written by a pencil or some coal. The message read...

Quote :

"Dear Saitou the Nephew (who is really stupid and ugly),

I have come to inform you that I will not be in the meeting that I got a message from some bigshot Raikage to be in. As I am currently handling some business. WHICH I AM AT LEAST SOLVING WHILE YOU SIT YOUR FAT ASS TALKING. Tell the Raikage I'll presume myself to be a Jounin since I SINGLEHANDEDLY took down the Amekage.

Anyways, as your stupidity cannot comprehend this, I shall tell you in simplest of terms. Me go get beer, me go find bad guys, me chase one two maybe, and me go far away hunt bad guys of village.

Perhaps your brain will at least comprehend this, if not, then I pray to Jashin that you get a brain transplant... actually... I just pray you die the most horrible maggot infested death! Because you are SO useless, at least I killed the Amekage while you did NOTHING.

Anyways, I composed this Haiku for you with tender care...

Hello shit-for-brains,
Sorry, but the secret's out,
Your mom is a whore.

- Sincerely, your beloved uncle Nanashi who just hates your guts so much because of how useless you are.

- Best regards."

Vanity just looked over the faces present as the man interrogated her. Being around these men just made her all excited. "Don't be so tense, Its not attractive at all. Im known as Vanity, a ninja of Kirigakure." she said softly. As she spoke she slowly walked forward toward the man questioning her. She would stop about 3 feet in front of the man. "I just saw something that interested me. Since you seem to be the big bad boss man here, I wanna ask you something." she said stepping even closer to the man, within inches of him now. She then scanned the group one more time, then allowed her eyes to rest on one of the ninja(Senju) before returning her gaze back to the man in front of her. "Im just bored and was wondering if I could tag along with you guys for awhile" she would whisper in the man's ear softly for him to hear only.

As the courier nin appeared before the impatient young kaguya he looked at the man surprised. It was rare these days for anyone to be sending Saitou any messages seeing as he didn't like many people and not many people were able to find him. Though with all the commotion he just caused it wouldn't be to hard to pinpoint the young assassin. Taking the note and reading it a smile slowly creeped its way onto the man's face. Leave it to the ridiculous Nanashi to be one of the few people to genuinely make Saitou Hajime smile. This wasn't exactly your average happy smile though, it was the smile of a man who was imagining killing someone that someone being his "uncle".

In the midst of these thoughts his eyes caught attention to the vixen who had appeared moments ago as she inched closer to Aisu. Now the subsequent action is not because he has any feelings or emotions about Aisu in any way, but rather more of a reflex for the Kaguya. In his mind he heard "Ninja of Kirigakure" and saw her moving close to a fellow shinobi of Kumogakure. Not to mention Saitou had always been weary of trusting women for they always proved to have ulterior motives in some way. In the swiftest of motions, his Katana was drawn and slashed at the back of the woman's throat. The motion was so fast, the drawing of his sword made no sound and if not dodged would leave a wide gash in the back of the woman's neck allowing her to bleed out.

Aisu looked at the woman when she spoke, he actually wasn't tense but rather taking precaution. The situation was rather amusing to him to meet another ninja from kirigakure. The first one he had met before seemed friendly and if he was not mistaken then this one was also friendly as well. Maybe it was just that all ninja from the mist were really friendly people. Aisu wondered why she was moving closer, his hands clenching in case she tried anything. Then like a gentle breeze she whispered into his ear, her request was odd but he didn't mind.

The Raikage didn't mind her tagging along since he would make sure she was watched closely. Then like instantly he saw Saitou making a movement as if drawing his katana. It was evident he was going to attack her but he did not want unnecessary bloodshed. His nerve impulses reflexively began to speed and as if time were slowing down he moved next to Saitou. His hand pressing on the hilt of the katana to keep it in it's sheathe. Such movement was actually the signature jutsu of his clan with great uses but dangerous drawbacks. "I don't want any unnecessary killing of a ninja from Kirigakure. I understand your apprehension Saitou but a war is not what we need right now. I will have you watch this woman closely. At any point she steps out of line, I know you will kill her without hesitation."

Aisu then looked at the female ninja named Vanity with a slightly amused expression on his face. "I assume you just heard what I said. If you try anything sneaky then rest assured you will be killed without haste." The answer to her question was indeed a yes but he was still not going to drop his guard. "Alright then men let us go back to Kumogakure. But before we do in order to secure Amegakure I need to post someone here to watch over it. Someone strong that I can trust, do any of you know anyone like that?"

Bah, things are are so high strung. At least a fight wouldn't ensue here, thanks to the quick movement of Aisu. Senju let his mind wandered a little, enjoying the fresh area of a new area, when he heard Aisu ask for someone strong.
"Eh, if your looking for someone strong, ask that Shu Yuan guy, he seems like he can handle himself well in a battle."
After saying that, Senju looked up, with a curious look on his face. Why hadn't he volunteered himself as someone strong?

OOC: Gonna keep this short cuz im a tired nigga

As Gyou noticed a girl arise he began to ponder her very existence.
He laughed at her actually as she began to speak.
He turned around giving the peace sign to his brother and allies
He lit a ciggar and began to exit the area.
You could hear his laugh as his vanished.

Exit.

Vanity had a plan of action but did not perform it for the Kumogakure Kage stepped in on her behalf. She smiled, though they probably couldn't tell for she was wearing that mask. "Mmm, don't tease me now." she said tauntingly to the man who would have attacked her. She liked his attitude, it got her all warm inside. Bloodthirsty. Yet the Kage spoke about not wanting any killing, completely cockblocking Vanity from having a wild time. She sighed and looked at the man in the eyes. Her's icy blue, cold. Eye contact was an easy way to communicate with someone. If he could understand, he would know of the fun they could've had. Perhaps some other time maybe, if he was up for it.

However continuing, the kage agreed to allow Vanity travel with them under the surveillance of the man who wanted her dead. "I always liked watch dogs, they're so cuddly sometimes." she said sarcastically, making little kissing noises as if the man were a puppy. "Well anyway, thank you Mr. Kage sir, I think I will be on my best behavior. That is if this one here keeps his paws off of me. I don't think I would be able to control myself." she said softly, her eyes still on the guy.

Aisu was not sure what would have happened if the attack had continued but he was pretty sure the kirigakure ninja would have been dead at his feet. At the moment though he wa not up for a fight with anyone, especially someone who he figured he could get info out of. The days was sure long but nothing that few naps wouldn't fix for his system especially for one who was not exactly fully mature yet. "I just need Candidates Hatitori but I will not employ someone who leaves of their own free will. Also Vanity don't be misinformed, I didn't do it to save you. I just dislike getting blood on my clean attire." Aisu was referring to when the other genin that came to Kumo to find him apparently just dismissed himself. That in itself was surely a rude act especially in front of the raikage but he did nothing to show for it.

"No thinking, you will behave if you wish to keep that head of yours attached your shoulders. I will only only you to travel with us for my own reasons but rest assured if you even do anything to make me suspicious of you then I will surely kill you myself." The Raikage's voice was serious yet chilling to the bone. Anyone would know not to test the young man's patience or even try seeing if he was serious. With that his gaze switched from Vanity towards the city skyline trying to see if anyone would appear before he would make his leave. Being in charge demanded responsibility and he had already spent too much time here in Amegakure.

Kazumi’s made his way up the street of Amegakure, the street from which a detection barrier had been spread out from the pseudo body of Kazumi, and had enveloped those who stood on said street. This of course happened after the necessary hand signs were used, which was immediately as he began his search for information. This area of the city was rather quiet, and there were no other people, but it was rather odd how there was a group of people, in a section of the place where there was no people. There were however the large skyscrapers around, and towers that were around them, and surrounded those who were on the street. Kazumi’s prepared 5 Kunai strapped with explosive tags hidden on its handle, as he scaled a tower using his Chakra to adhere toward the metallic structure. This side of the building was facing away from the group of shinobi, but Kazumi’s already knew exactly where they were, and he walked around the structure after implanting the Kunai on its opposite side. All of them, in fact. The structure of said tower was quite distorted and warped to where it was no longer a straight standing tower, it leaned in towards the group, almost to a point of where it was directly above them, but that would be an exaggeration. Now the Kazumi was standing looking down upon the group from the side of the tower, standing vertically against said tower, and peering at the headbands of the ninja’s below. “Kumogakure ninja, I need words with your Raikage, tell me where he is, or things could get messy. Better yet.” The cloaked body formed a Ram seal, using a body flicker, and leaping toward another tower’s side, and adhering to it with his chakra, the tower he appeared on being two towers from the rigged tower, and he was on the side facing the street as well.

A roar was heard from inside the tower, but it wouldn’t reach the ears of the group below since the sound occurred far above them. The tags exploded, and part of the building simply creaked and moaned, but the pieces were instantly sent flying, and the largest section of the tower toppled over the group directly below it, falling into many chucks of large metal pieces and solid stone, headed directly for said group of ninja. Specifically, the main part of the falling tower was 60 meters in diameter, and crumbled into many large pieces. Two immense pieces headed for the one known as Saitou, one aiming for his head, and the other his right arm. Kazumi’s formed a hand sign, and more Kazumi’s spread over the building, twenty copies, in fact. This of course, confused which Kazumi was the original. Each copy spread out, and lowered to the street at the right and left flanks of the group, the building he was standing on being on the right side of the group, and the copies simply leaping from building the building to get toward the left side. Before the explosion occurred, two Kazumi’s rushed in at Aisu, each attempting a simple strike with their fists toward his face on either side. Only one Kazumi remained on the building, but it was unclear if he was the original or not, the groups however were spaced far enough to where the debris from the building wouldn’t hit them. They would only be covered in the dust as a result of the falling building. That single clone standing on the building would focus its chakra’s after the crash of the building occurred, or more so exactly as the two clones attempted their strikes at Aisu, preparing for an exact moment when it was appropriate. His aim wasn’t to kill, but to simply capture one of the Kumo-nin and force them into revealing the location of their Raikage. Such a simplistic task, eliminating the vermin, which plague all forms of life, and live among us as the lowest scum of a snitch, indeed this was vengeance for all.

Blake moved through the structures of the city at quite a remarkable speed for such a spurious entity. He had caught up, so to speak, with his ally and partner in crime. As he moved slightly ahead of the man via the underground he bypassed much that would slow him down and would make his way to a spot of his own. He knew what needed to be done and had planned on doing so. Up a tower he went, occupied by the gathered ninja. He was silent and unnoticed as he traveled this route. Hand seals being performed as he came closer to his destination. As his partner spoke, he approached the surface between the feet of the female and the man next to her, he would spit a ball of the blue coloring just as soon as his face surfaced. He would then descend in the direction he came within a second of spitting the substance, returning to the underground structures completely. As this substance flew up between the two, before it was even knee height it would expand due to its volatile nature as a vapor and quickly at that. This vapor would expand thirty meters wide and twenty meters high into the area from the point it. Within five short lived seconds half of this range would have been covered. The effected area would become extremely parched as the vapor expanded, nothing excluded. Yet the psuedo Blake was not done for he left a present beneath those two, about six inches actually. This was a single kunai with its own label. Blake had released this item from the effects of his technique which allowed him to move through the structure without friction or obstacle. This kunai served its purpose in pushing the footing beneath said two up and out in an explosive manner a moment after the initial expansion of the blue substance. This concussive force would push the concrete metal mix within a six meter radius outward quickly. The pernicious debris would scatter everywhere toward everyone within ten meters.

As this all occured Blake would have moved back down toward the base of the tower. Once there he would move on to another tall structure unaffected by all that was going on so to see the outcome of the events.
