She noted that Yamato bowed before her, as expected of him, and soon after Daiki bowed too. That was expected as well.. the Naito's loyalty was something intricate and idealistic. Very different from the Minamoru, but it ultimately led to the same thing - submission. There was even a crazy psychotic guy who was simply clapping about the death of the hokage. Ayame made a mental note to have him researched - such a mentally damaged shinobi would only be a damaging factor to the forces. Both Giichi Uzumaki and Nobunaga Inuzuka opposed her - openly, something that Ayame expected from Giichi. He was young, and he was an Uzumaki. And Ayame had just struck down everything that his ancestor, Naruto, stood for. Nobunaga on the other hand.. that was an unexpected turn of events. He spoke of the will of fire, but ofcourse, he twisted Ayame's words. SHe had never said the will of fire didn't burn anymore.. it's just been misinterpreted. He drew his blade across Daiki's back, no doubt a sign of revolt against the jonin's decision to bend the knee. Ayame didn't interfere but simply watched as the chaos unfolded. This wasn't how she had envisioned it to go. Why were they infighting? It didn't matter, really. The 11th would clean up anyone that tried to openly revolt against this coup. But still. It irked her.. When Tsukiko arrived she was quickly stopped by the Maru man, a policeman if Ayame remembered correctly, who utilised his ninjutsu to capture the fugitives. He talked, and talked. It was all nonsense. You can't arrest someone that just killed the hokage. That was madness. And then to think he'd arrest Shimura too. Ha.. Fujitora elaborated on that perfectly. It was clear to the Maru just how much of this revolution had already been put into place before this all even happened. The 11th corps had been under Fujitora's control for months already, and Shimura was just another captain to do Fujitora's bidding at this point. Fujitora also asked to release Tsukiko.. which was a fun thing to do. She'd no doubt still come charging in like an idiot - and so Ayame prepared mentally. Physically she didn't move, only looking from Fujitora who was at his side, to the front, overlooking the large crowd. But everything died down the moment Ayame opened her mouth to speak again. There was a certain emotion in her eyes, a flicker of light perhaps, but that died out soon enough. [color=black][b]“I wish to tell you something. I come from Amegakure, so I am an outsider here. I have no real claim to this hat, or any claim to the title of Hokage. Amegakure citizens are treated as second rank citizens in every country, and even in Amegakure, there are many ways that even in their own homecountry, we deal with that. I came to Konohagakure to escape that, because I heard of the will of fire. I was met with dissapointment.”[/b][/color] She looked at Fujitora, who had been at her side throughout the entire adventure, and reminisced about her father who was, likely, in Amegakure at this point. It'd been some time since she'd heard from him. She wondered in this still moment what had become of him after mother's death. [color=black][b]“The Will of Fire.. it's not true. It's been misinterpreted and misrepresented over the years. The Will of Fire is not peace and eternal friendship. It's not open mindedness towards everyone that wishes to live here simply because Konohagakure has it good.”[/b][/color] [color=black][b]“The Will of Fire is looking after your own, protecting your people, protecting your village from anyone that wishes to do it harm. It's not making bonds with other villages over the back of your own people, it's making deals with other villages to further your own goals. Starting now, Konohagakure will be shaped in the way I see it fit. And that means that Konohagakure will not be sending any more of our children to die in the name of some vain village far away, that means we will not give up any more rights and powers for the sake of maintaining peace.”[/b][/color] [color=black][b]“It means we will get back our power. And we will start with that. [i]Now.[/i]”[/b][/color] Slowly, Ayame's hands closed together and started forming handseals, which would appear to many as if she was going to attack Tsukiko in a pre-emptive strike. But after the handseals she raised her arms and looked at the sky, which had slowly become covered with black clouds during the duration of her speech. True to her heritage, she performed a jutsu known very well in Amegakure. [color=black][b]“[url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rain_Tiger_at_Will_Technique]Ukojizai no Jutsu![/url]”[/b][/color] As she raised her hands slowly it started raining, starting with slow spats of water, before turning into an all out rainstorm. Slowly she looked down from the sky, upon the group again. The atmosphere had changed dramatically, and to make sure she remained somewhat dry, Ayame pulled her hood up again to cover herself. [color=black][b]“I am from Amegakure. We have no Will of Fire, no Will of Rain. But we have one thing, and that is power.. no political influence, no army.. but every citizen of Amegakure is strong in and of their own. Remember that when you challenge my authority. I have no claim to the title of Hokage, but all of you know you will give it to me.”[/b][/color] Looking upon Tsukiko once more, she shook her head. She wondered why she had even thought about making that woman jonin commander.. she was much too rash, and didn't see the benefit of this coup. Maybe she would come to terms - time would tell. [hr] [center][h2][color=9e0039]Yamato Minamoru, “Young Master”[/color] [color=f6989d]Reihana Minamoru, “Little Master”[/color][/h2] [img]http://oi61.tinypic.com/25p2ych.jpg[/img] [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/2hs21ll.png[/IMG] [color=9e0039][b]“Watashi wa Kami, I am God.”[/b][/color] [color=f6989d][b]“For the Minamoru, everything.”[/b][/color][/center] [hr] Yamato reacted rather quickly, grabbing Daiki's flak jacket as soon as he grabbed his, pulling on Daiki's vest as much as Daiki pulled on his. His teeth were clenched and showing, but he didn't say a word to Daiki. This was no longer a rivalry, now. Knowing that Daiki carried a kekkei genkai, that Daiki was as much cursed as any other person with a bloodline limit.. this had turned into a state of te two of them being enemies. And the fact that Yamato didn't speak out spoke books about that - he was truly angry. But Daiki seemed to see the light finally. He let Yamato go, and Yamato let Daiki go. Yamato got up again and looked down at Daiki as he kneeled. [color=9e0039][b]“Isn't conflict what your entire god forsaken clan is after, [i]Uchiha.[/i] Your clan has been at the root of the worlds' problems since the creation of ninjutsu.. don't pretend you can escape that fate. You may pretend to be a Naito, but I know what you hide now that you've shown me. Starting today, we may be in the same village, but if you ever get in my way again, I'm ripping those eyes from your face..”[/b][/color] Rei had reacted slowly when Giichi charged off, not realizing at all what had happened until it was too late. She had simply been so astonished by what was happening. Yamato accepted Ayame as the new Hokage, which was as much a shock to anyone else as to her as for anyone else.. no doubt it was a plot by her father, she thought, and as such she would have to accept Ayame as well. She extended a hand to grab Giichi and hold him back, realizing he was plunging himself into death more or less, but she was too late. She was forced to watch as Giichi attempted to commit suicide by openly attacking Ayame, the new [i]Hokage.[/i] But as luck would have it Akio was quick enough to stop him, leaving room for Rei to run up and kneel besides Giichi. [color=f6989d][b]“Giichi, please.. this is not the way. The other kages will surely not accept this.. you need to think of your father and mother, too.”[/b][/color] she said as she put a hand on his side, before grabbing his arm and trying to lift him up. It seemed he was paralyzed, but laying this close to the very person that had just murdered the Hokage was probably not going to be good for Giichi. She looked up and saw that Yamato was now approaching her, seemingly done with Daiki. [color=9e0039][b]“Rei, let's go. We need to go home.”[/b][/color] he said, looking down at Giichi. He wanted to help the young boy, but fairly, he found it rather stupid to attack the very person that had just more or less taken the throne. Besides, Ayame was speaking the truth. Konoha had, throughout it's history, been the only to make attempts at friendship with the others. And that had ultimately always ended in concessions from their side.. it was time to take back what was theirs. [color=9e0039][b]“Giichi. This is not your place anymore. The Uzumaki are a powerful clan, I will admit that, but the current hokage is a Choko, not an Uzumaki. You have no say, and neither does your family. Not directly, anyway. It's best you go home, and let the grownups handle this. Your father and mother will know what to do.”[/b][/color] he said as he approached Rei and put a hand on her shoulder, forcing her to let go of Giichi. Yamato had always been kind to Giichi but that seemed to have suddenly changed, or atleast, he was a bit more neutral now. [color=9e0039][b]“Conflict is brewing not only in the world, but within Konoha. I can just say that I hope you pick the right side in what is going to follow this, and that I end up on the same side. There are larger forces at work here.”[/b][/color] Yamato thought back to when they'd met Kusaru, and how Kusaru spoke to Fujitora and Ayame as if they'd met before. Somehow that made sense, now. [color=9e0039][b]“Good luck, Giichi. Don't die. That'd be a s-”[/b][/color] Suddenly he halted his sentence and released Rei, noticing that Nobunaga dragged his sword across Daiki's back, and that Daiki after that fought back. It seemed Daiki had the Uchiha blood, but the Naito spirit. All Yamato could think of was how he'd stop this idiocy, but ultimately he decided that Daiki should make his own calls regarding who to piss off. It seemed he was rapidly making enemies, however. [color=9e0039][b]“Rei, go home. I'm gonna watch so I make sure that this doesn't get out of hand.. [i]yet..[/i]”[/b][/color] Rei simply nodded and looked at Giichi with a face that said 'I'm sorry'. [color=f6989d][b]“I'll talk to you later, Giichi.”[/b][/color] she said before getting up and running off, past the crowd towards their home. She was unsure what to feel at this point, but there was something bigger going on here and she could feel it.
