[IC] Naruto - Legend of the Bijuu's - Part I - OOC

[Insomnia]

Aiko

Aiko had absolutely no recollection of the night's events or the amount of ramen she ate, but the instant ramen cups littered everywhere on her floor spoke for themselves. She stretched and contorted her body which was stiff and tense, cracking a few bones along the way. She tumbled into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of milk, tempted to splash it over her face to wake herself up. Her search for Uchiha Ria was rudely interrupted yesterday by the Hokage although she did see the Uchiha kunoichi, but had no chance to speak with her. Thus, Aiko would try her hand and searching today.

Yume

"The wind blows eastward," Yume murmured, tilting the hat that identified her as the Kazekage so she could get a better view of her village. The dust and sand swirled through the quiet and empty streets, the breeze howling and rustling the birds that perched themselves on the roofs. They cawed and screeched, snapping away at ground-dwelling insects that had become uncovered. Just a moment ago, Yume had received news that a Kage meeting was being arranged at the Gokage Summit via hawk messenger.

It was that time. The time to either welcome Konoha to the Republic alliance, or make the first move on the rebellious village. At one point, Suna and Konoha had been close. Now the two were divided.

The early morning sun cast rays of light down on the village, the sky glowing in incredible hues of pinks and oranges. "The sky is truly beautiful at this time, wouldn't you agree, Tsubasa-kun?" Yume asked, pressing her fingertips against the warm glass of the window. In the doorway stood a man roughly twenty years of age equipped in traditional jōnin attire with a slight stubble growing on his chin.

"Your father sent me to check on you, Yume-sama," Tsubasa replied, bowing his head. The Kazekage's mouth curled into a hint of a smile as she turned to face the jōnin, rubbing her index finger and her thumb together.

"Did you know of how much the sand manifests in this very room? It seems to be everywhere. Just by pinching the air you end up with tiny granules of the stuff in your hand," Yume mumbled, gesturing a pinching motion here and there. Tsubasa stared at her lovingly, but in a more fatherly manner rather than the alternative. The shinobi had been watching over her since she was a day old, admiring her grow up and progress as a ninja.

"Yume-sama..." he whispered, picking off loose threads on his vest.

"Tell father I'm fine, Tsubasa-kun. Anything else and he might get a heart attack," Yume replied, stepping forward and wrapping her arms around the older man's shoulders, feeling him do the same. She missed Tsubasa's hugs. They made her feel safe, as if she had reverted back to being a small, helpless child again. Nothing or no one else could replicate that feeling, not even her own father - who had tried particularly hard today. The two broke contact and Yume sent Tsubasa on his way.

She needed someone to accompany her on her journey to the Summit, someone capable of defending themselves in case things got messy. Yume didn't want to feel lonely after all. Sendeiyoshi Saiyaka was the first name that came to mind; she was reliable and an extremely good ex-ANBU, her expertise in ninjutsu and sealing were almost unparalleled. Yume gave a jōnin the task of finding her and relaying the message "the Kazekage wishes for your attendance at her office". All that was left to do was wait for the kunoichi, then they could leave for the Summit.

The memories of his time in the land of fire were coming back as Kai approached the border to the land of fire. He could feel the adrenaline pumping through his system as he jumped from tree to tree all the while while keeping a close eye out for any konoha shinobi. So far he hadn't run into any.

So far so good.

Something about this isn't right. The Eight-tails told him. There should be patrols or traps or at least a few shinobi along the border. You were a member of Konoha. You know that we should have run into something or someone by now based on their former actions.

You're right...Kai thought as he stopped for a moment and began to check his surroundings. Is it possible we're being watched.

[Hirothelegend]

Shira Aburame
When she finally came to her senses, Kii had told them to meet the werehouse? At dusk and time to give some time to explore... oh did she love that idea, until it was a bit ruined when Kii said Shira tends to get lost. "h-h-hey! I don't get that lost... Hmp!" She said turning the other way crossing her arms. She then smelled ramen and her eyes instantly opened. "SWEEET!!!" She said running towards the Ramen shop. She sat down looking through her pouch for any money, and she only had enough for a kids bowl... but she was fine with that! She ordered some ramen and sat down watching the other ninja. "This ramen is amazing! Something that I have't ate constantly..." She thought for a little bit giggling. She then grabbed a napkin and cleaned the bowl and handed them the bowl. "Thank you!" She said to them. She then walked out and wondered around the village without her squad. "I get a break from everything and view this legendary village... this is a great day i hade in a long time!" she continued to think.

Oda Uchiha
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!!" Kota could hear Oda yell as a Giant Fireball went pass Kota almost burning him. Oda walked up to Kota who was on the fields. "Hello Kota, ready to begin your training! I see great potential in you, and being an Uchiha you will get the hang of this quickly!!!" He said patting him on the back. "You are even trying to use Rasengan... Get good like me and you might be able to mix that with Chakra Releases, if I wanted to learn Rasengan I would want Fire Rasengan but that's my preference!" He said smiling.

[Tuujaimaa]

“War looms on the horizon. You can feel it in the air if you know what to look for.” Akaritori responded first, without turning around, still clutching at her sword as if she were expecting a surprise attack at any time. The horrors of war had taught her to be careful - and careful she was, even with perhaps her most trustworthy operative in the village.

“You must be hungry - you would have been eating already if I had not called for you, no? Routine makes a slave of all of us.” she added, pointing to an adjoining door and prompting Touzoku to walk through. Akaritori was one of the most prepared individuals that Iwagakure had ever seen, and though her shortcomings were numerous, this was one of the many pluses that kept her reputation largely positive in the village. The fact that she was a military leader at heart had also considerably helped her reputation, though Touzoku did not share the same views - her lack of love for war would be considered troubling if Touzoku were not such a unique case.

“Pan-seared chicken with lime, cabbage, and bacon. I believe that is what you eat on a Tuesday evening, is it not?” Akaritori would state somewhat brashly as soon as Touzoku followed the directive to open the door. Food was almost an unwritten custom between the two whenever they had to discuss matters of war, for a good leader knew that an opposing opinion was necessary to make a logical, unbiased decision. Akaritori was nothing if not a good leader.

“The Kage of the Republic have been called for a summit,” she began as she sat down, eating from her own plate as she did so. She would eat in little bites in order to allow her to speak often, though that had always been her attitude towards food - it was a reprieve, a reward for services well-rendered, and not something to idly indulge in. These subtle signals were the language through which Akaritori and her closest spoke most intimately, and after enough time, entire discussions could be had through a language far more potent than words.

“And I while I am inclined to fight, I would have knowledge of the Hokage’s plots before innocent lives are taken. It is on this matter that your input is required.”

[Dystopia]

It wan't like the stranger looked shady or anything! They definitely seemed like the type of people that would give poor, lost orphans direction. Like Ryou was even sure serial killers would go out of their way to help orphan. Unless their target was primarily orphan. But there was seriously a low rate of people being born sociopath and Ryou would even mention the exact number of sociopath born out of so-and-so number. Except that only seemed fodder for Kii to keep denying a plea for help. And, well, Ryou slightly trusted Kii more than he trusted himself, so he surrendered. He tried to offer Kii some food as a peace offering but it didn't really go as planned.

Ryou answered the questions, keeping his answer close enough to the truth that maybe the lies wouldn't be detected. At least Ryou hoped they wouldn't be. Beside, they were children. Child normally weren't that suspicious. It wasn't like they were adults. Adult ninja were much easier to spot. There was just something about seeing too much and doing too much that would show in adult. He'd seen this in his own parent and quite a few ninja in Iwagakure. Being adult, despite the capability someone had to still dream and hope, there was a sense of wonder that was simply lost. So, Ryou smiled stretched from ear-to-ear and rambled about how awesome being in Konoha was going to be and how he heard they had the best ramen.

Once they were dismissed from the questioning, Ryou followed after Shira and Kii. Someone staying with Shira... Ryou watched Kii, waiting for any telltale sign that Kii wanted to do this. However, Kii never volunteered. Ryou didn't see this a Kii trying to get rid of them in a mean way, but he was pretty suspicious that was exactly what he was trying to do. Ryou really couldn't blame him though. If Ryou had finally gotten in touch with a friend he hadn't seen in literally forever, he'd probably be doing the exact same thing. "I'll stay with Shira~" He volunteered just as Shira sprinted to the ramen stand. He patted Kii on the shoulder before turning around and heading to the ramen shop. It'd probably look like a friendly gesture and, in a way it was. This was if someone considered 'I'll-turn-you-into-a-zombie-if-you-die-I-don't-care-how-many-people-I'll-have-to-sacrificed' as a friendly gesture.

"You like ramen, Shira~?"

[LillyDove]

Serenai walked into the village as calmly as she could muster, her nerves still on end and breathing slightly rushed. Take a deep breath.. a strange voice said in her head, she nearly jumped when she heard it. Poking around in her head, she found nothing as the voice seemed to vanish from her mind and she was somewhat upset about it. Doing as the voice instructed her to do so, she felt much better and a little calmer as she walked with Kai in Konoha.

She wondered what was wrong when Kai stopped suddenly and looked around, why was he stopping? "What's wrong?" Seranai asked quietly, shifting on her feet uneasily. Feeling like she was missing something, she looked around and tried to figure it out, coming up short. Hadn't he been here before?

[Innue]

Touzoku

"You know me too well, Lady Tsuchikage," Touzoku replied, bowing slightly before seating herself at the table, stained a rich, dark tone to compliment the rest of the decor in the room. Touzoku listened politely, taking bites as she could without creating a distraction. There was a lot to process, so she ate even slower than usual. What was important was the last bit - something she hadn't outright stated. Touzoku shifted a bit uncomfortably in her chair. Such a task exceptionally dangerous, but it ran the risk of Touzoku falling back into the state she had been before coming to live in Iwagakure; it was a state Touzoku was not keen on returning too.

"You know full well the risks of what you are asking, I do assume," she responded, setting down her utensils to focus fully on the situation. Her plate was mostly cleared at that point anyway, Touzoku if nothing but an epitome of efficiency. "Are you asking for a separate excursion or should I just wait for opportunities during the Summit?" Often such things would arise during group meetings, as eyes were not nearly as guarded. However, it rarely allowed for opportunity for Touzoku to get much from an individual. A separate excursion was another matter and one of even greater danger. Touzoku was capable enough to get out of most binds, given the abilities she possessed, but capture was not something that she could ever have happen given the nature of her doujutsu. It was something that could not be in the hands of a hostile force and should Konohagakure be hostile, it would make them all that more dangerous.

Touzoku's eyes were trained on Akaritori, not to use her abilities, but to ensure that the seriousness of the nature was absorb by both parties.

[BKburke]

Sharaiyu who after a long night, decided to head to the training fields to see if he finally had a sensei. "Man, yesterday was quite the day; I sure hope today will be better." He showed just in time to see a massive fireball scorch across the field. "Well damn. Glad I don't have to face off against that." Sharaiyu turned to see Oda Uchiha and and Kota. "Hokage? Your our sensei or are you just giving Kota some private lessons? I can leave if you wish. I wouldn't want to bother you two."

[Tuujaimaa]

“I am undecided on whether or not to ask you to go at all - though you are, by far, the most suited. We are here to discuss, not to take action.” came the reply as Akaritori set down her own utensils and stood up, drawing her sword as she did so. It glowed with a soothing light and radiated a sense of comfort more than a sense of imminent death - something quite strange for that particular blade - and Akaritori pointed it at a wall to the left, opposite the doors through which the pair had entered.

“War is an option, and I would be happy to fight. You know this. If you are to use your… Skill set to achieve a route of less bloodshed, perhaps innocent lives can be saved - but at what cost? We know so little about Konohagakure’s plans that an effective plan cannot be made. If it comes to making a sacrifice based on conjecture and the few facts we can gleam, what do we choose? Do we cull Konohagakure to save the other villages of the Republic? Do we cull them to save ourselves? These questions require answers, and I alone cannot reasonably decide the fate for so many on such uncertain grounds. If we are given a reason to go to war, we will go to war. I will not let innocents die for the treachery of a few - and I believe on this principle we are agreed. Methods can vary, but the lives of the innocent are what matter most.” Akaritori began, using her sword and little tricks of the light to demonstrate her point as she talked. It was mostly for show, as both parties were more than intelligent enough to speak without the aid of visual props, but it gave Akaritori a bit of comfort.

“There is also no burden I will not share with you if it becomes necessary - know that your life is important to me, as is your continued wellbeing.”

[Yog Sothoth]

Maiko was following behind Kai and Serenai, checking to make sure no one sneaked up on them as they entered the village. he took off his Amegakure headband and was wearing his cloak to not draw attention them. he hoped that Kai and Serenai were not wearing things that made it obvious that they were ninja from the republic.

"Maiko, remember to be on your guard, i sense that Konoha has Kurama and Matatabi which means they have Jinchuuriki" Isobu told him.

"I will make sure nothing bad happens, just relax. i will also be on the lookout for any information on the true nature of the republic" Maiko replied.

"I know but don't do anything stupid, you won't be a great shinobi if you're the enemy of both the reoublic and Konoha."

Maiko sighed and said to his Bijuu, "I know that, but the fact that i have been lied to my whole life shows that things aren't as they appear and I have got to know the truth behind the hostility between Konoha and the Shinobi Republic."

He looked around at the people of the village and saw a few chunin walking around the area, and he tried to keep a low profile and prayed they didn't become suspicious of him, Kai and Serenai. when Kai stopped suddenly, Maiko wondered what was wrong, but he didn't want to get close and not make things look even more suspicious.

[Hirothelegend]

Shira Aburame
Shira noticed Ryou had noticed her and followed. "There goes that... She thought to herself. She turned to see Ryou. "Well I like to get different ramen every now and then... So uh where do you want to go? I haven't fought in a long time, wanna help me with my releases near the gate or somthing?" She asked him. She had no idea how to continue conversations for a while. It seems she's only good when it comes to arguments...

Oda Uchiha
Oda noticed Sharaiyu. "Oh no I offered to teach you as well so yes I can be considered your sensei in a way!" He said laughing a bit. "Now what can I help you with? Every ninja has a strength they want to improve and every ninja has a weakness to catch up to their strength, so what will it be good boy!" He said grinning.

(Sorry for small post ;.; waiting for plot to keep moving)

[CorruptedShadow]

Kota had stood up and dodged the fireball just in the nick of time...somewhat burning the hair on his arm. Kota growled a bit at the Hokage, but kept his anger in and realized that it was for the training. "I am ready to learn, Oda-Sensei....let us spar, one on o-" It was just then when the other Genin walked in. Kota looked at him with a lazy sort of look, as if displeased. "Is everyone coming here....come on Oda-Sensei, fight me! I can do good, trust me!" As if by some miracle chance,Kota had regained his energy. He grinned, staring at his sensei and getting ready for combat.

[Innue]

Touzoku nodded in response to Akaritori’s explanation, shifting to a more relaxed pose quickly. She agreed with the Tsuhikage wholeheartedly – at least at the level of this explanation. Touzoku suspected their individual methodologies would drastically differ; it was something she was sure Akaritori was also aware. If it came to lives being saved, both parties were likely aware that Touzoku would not hesitate to save them if she could – especially members of her village.

“While this may be mere discussion,” Touzoku replied, musing the situation out loud, “Should I be preparing to transition this to a more practical application?” Preparing for the Summit would be easy, as it required nothing more than her presence. The latter option, in the forefront of both of their minds, was something that Touzoku would have to approach carefully.

The habit of the Tsuchikage to play with her sword, as well as her ‘food’ was easy for most to pick up on. It was the sort of details Touzoku needed often for her missions, details people often overlooked. Understanding the habits of an individual were one of the most important steps to gaining their trust, in a variety of executable ways. Touzoku was no exception, but most of her habits were a tad less quirky and did actually vary in some regards. However, Touzoku had given her trust to the Tsuchikage long, long ago.

[Chev]

"What's wrong?"

Kai looked around with narrowed eyes. "Nothing. I'm just making sure that the ANBU aren't watching us." Kai had done what he thought was a pretty good job of masking his appearance. He knew that if he was identified for even a moment he would most likely be attacked.

"Keep walking." He said quietly as he walked through the gates of the village trying to look as inconspicuous as he could, it was hard for him to see his old home. Everything looked the same but he knew things must have changed in the three years he was gone.

Can you sense any of the other Bijuu here? What about their hosts? Kai asked the Eight-tails.

Nothing at the moment. But I'll make sure to let you know if I sense any of them.

"Remember." He said quietly to the others. "If any of you get in trouble try and signal me."

[Durnehviir]

~Saiyaka~

Late. She wouldn't be Saiyaka were she early. In fact, she would have made the Kazekage wait a good half hour before she walked through the door, blond locks flowing behind like a river of golden rapids. She walked with her usual, confident strut before stopping a few feet away from the Lady Kazekage and, with an arrogant flair, toss some hair from her face with a delicate hand that was followed by a sassy grin.

"How are you, Kazekage?" Despite her personality she could afford formalities and respect. Saiyaka was hardly a malmannered young lady when it came to her superiors, though her personality could only be bent so far. "Did you say bye-bye to your boyfriend?" She would ask, looking towards the doorwary. If Tsubasa was still in the room she would have directed her glace from the doorway to him before her gaze returned back to Yume, "Don't know what you see in such a geezer though," She'd say, an elated smile spreading on her face. There it was. Saiyaka's shining persona beaming through like rays of cancer infecting sunlight. "Just me?" She'd inquire, turning swiftly to the left and right. She'd looked to the door in search of other ninja. Was she really the only one called here? Saiyaka had a good assumption on what it was for, though would she be the only company?

"I'm flattered if so," Bemused, she sweetly grinned at the young little Lady. "As long as you know that I come with needs, Kazekage," Saiyaka would say. She'd walk closer to the Kazekage, her happy-go-lucky attitude melding away as she became more serious a moment, "This is about the Republic, correct? Were you aware of the decision to send Daisuke to Konoha? I realize this isn't my place to say, however, was that a wise decision?" Saiyaka would ask, speaking almost as an equal to the Kazekage. Were it any other matter Saiyaka would have just washed her hands of it, talked bad about the policy but would have let the business of others remain the business of others, but this was surrounding her own student. This was surrounding the Ichibi, the one and only Bijuu assigned to the Sand Village. If they lost him, the weight wouldn't be easy to compare.

~Kii

"Ok," Kii would say, nodding as Ryou ran after Shira. Kii would watch with some tired eyes as Ryou and Shira. Now was time for his investigating. He was going to be a spy here. Even if the mission was primarily Shira's and he was mostly support there was no reason that he thought to put Shira into that much danger. As such, Kii planned to find out the information on Konoha, give it to Shira, then they'd leave thus completing this mission early. If Ryou was babysitting then Kii was certain that Shira wouldn't get into too much trouble. Kii maybe be paranoid and overprotective, but Ryou was hesitant towards danger and typically a good resource when it came to fleeing from a fight or outright avoiding one. He had a good radar for tension and his good nature was a natural bar for conflict.

As such, that left Kii with the opportunity to travel through the village with his sleepy expression in search for information. He figured he'd go somewhere around the market district, make his way around towards the Hokage manor, then doulbe his way back towards the residental portion of the village before seeing his way back to the training area. He was keeping an eye out for anything suspicious, but mostly Kii was listening in for information while causually looking lost and dazed, which he somewhat was most of the time...In fact, it wasn't until he'd been well away from Ryou and Shira that he realized that he'd forgotten the map and was now discovering the village more out of accident than purpose.
"Either way," Saiyaka would ay, tossing a strand of hair to the right with another arrogant toss of her hand, "I'm ready to be the Lady Kazekage's amazing escort!" Saiyaka beamed, pleasantly accepting the task. Yume was dead on when she calculated Saiyaka's abilities. She was an S-Ranked ninja and possessed a unique superiority in the realm of ninjutsu. She was trained, from her youth, to be the last defense in the instance the Ichibi, or worse, rampaged beyond the control of the village. Such power, one to stand on equal ground with a Bijuu, was hard to come by and a great ally to have while travelling in unknown territory.

[CorruptedShadow]

Chev said
"Remember." He said quietly to the others. "If any of you get in trouble try and signal me."

Along the gates and walls, Leaf Shinobi had been patrolling around the area in order to keep the perimeter safe. A small force of Shinobi, who'm looked like Chunin, had walked out of the gate in order to patrol the surrounding forest. Now, it was safe to say that these Chunin were too powerful for the Genin that had came to spy.....luckily, however, they appeared to be completely intoxicated. They were loud, sluggish, and some of them had even begun to stray from the group.

[BKburke]

Sharaiyu grinned at Oda's words. "Well it isn't something I can show you. Not with your eyes anyway." Sharaiyu began to focus and a chakra limb formed on his back. However, only eyes that could see the flow of chakra such as the byakugan could see these limbs. The limb began to move and soon brushed against Oda's shoulder and leg. "It's my gekki kenki that I wanted to work on. Give me a moment and you will see it." Sharaiyu began to focus more of his chakra and soon the limb became visible. It pulsated with a large of chakra but soon faded. "Of course when I try it like that, it becomes more devestating but it drains and consumes a lot more chakra. My chakra control is pretty good but I was hoping one with your skill could make it better."

[Insomnia]

Yume

"He is not my... boyfriend, Saiyaka-san," Yume flushed, a little embarrassed that her relationship between Tsubasa could be viewed as such. "In fact, Saiyaka-san, it is not your place to make such a comment but I will forgive you, because I am in a mood to forgive. Tsubasa is nothing more than my caretaker, and how dare you make accusations that he is anything more." The Kazekage refused to turn to face the ex-ANBU, afraid of the hefty comments she would cop if she did. "Besides," she murmured, staring at the ground, "He's a little old, don't you think?" Saiyaka's personality was almost sickening, sweeter than honey itself.

The blood that had risen to her face had simmered down to an acceptable shade, rather than a deep red so she swivelled on her feet and looked at he tokujo, listening as she made her assumptions. "Of course I was aware of Daisuke's leave, but it is not in my power to stop him. Even I cannot overrule the voice of the Republic. I do not doubt Daisuke, and at the same time, I understand and share your concerns of your students. But Saiyaka-san, you must know that sending reinforcements or bodyguards to protect him will only heighten the danger he is already in."

Saiyaka was uncomfortably close, so close that Yume could almost feel her persona emanating from where she stood. "Saiyaka-san, I summoned you here to request your accompaniment to the Gokage Summit. I trust in your abilities and would appreciate the company; it's a long way there." Yume smiled and adjusted her hat so that the symbol faced centre-on.

Aiko

Aiko had arrived at Uchiha Ria's house and began knocking impatiently on the door. Just a minute ago she saw the aftermath of a particular fireball, one that was without a doubt Kota's, meaning he had already gotten the early start. "Ria-sama! Ria-sama are you home? I need your help!" It had only been about a minute since she had stepped in front of the door yet Aiko acted as though she had been waiting for hours. She had been knocking so hard that her knuckles were a little white, but she needed to get started, now.

[LaXnyd]

The four kages were not the only ones who were headed to the land of iron.

In the air, a single messenger bird was flying towards the snowy nation. The bird was carrying a letter addressed for the Taisho - general - of the land of iron, a man whom would probably know Yuuto as the arrogant young brash hothead who had the gall to challenge the leadership.

To my esteemed Lord General

The last time we met, we met as adversaries. I was skilled by arrogant, failing to know humility. For that, I attempted to challenge your position and lost my place in my home. I have no right to beg for a pardon, nor do I intend to. I have come to accept my exile in disgrace. I only ask you to allow the kage to hear my words and for you all to contemplate on them.

When our great predecessor, Taisho Mifune, allowed the land of iron to join in shinobi affairs the world was threatened by a great evil. Even then, Lord Mifune allowed the shinobi to assemble in the land of iron for the purpose of unification, not division. We have long been taught to uphold peace and neutrality; is the republic's actions not going against those very teachings?

To the kage who are no doubt assembling for the summit, I have only this to say. I know not whether or not the lord general will even allow these words to be heard:

The last time the great shinobi met, all were united against a single threat. A great adversary was threatening to disrupt and destroy all that everyone held dear and cherished. Now, however, circumstances are different. Traditions were to end. Old feuds were meant to be cast aside without question. Those who believed the republic would come without resistance, that change would come without resistance, were foolish. As now only a humble ronin, I ask that you all reconsider your position on Konoha.

時の連 (ときのれん)
(The turning of time,)
昔の戦(むかしのいくさ)
(The battles of the past)
明日になり(あすになり)
(become tomorrow).

- Your humble student even in exile,
Narakai Yuuto.

XXXXX

Yuuto himself, meanwhile, continued wandering around Konoha, with one objective problem.

He was lost. Undeniably so. He could have sworn he passed this little vendor five times already. Scratching his head and ignoring the suspicious glances, he kept trying to find his way either to the gate or to a place for a meal..

[Masaki Haruna]

Uchiha Ria
Location: Konoha Police Force HQ > Home > Training Grounds

Everything that happened yesterday was like a heartbeat in an instant, defending Okani never gets old as her loud mouth gets a situation heated up, being the right hand woman of the Hokage has it's perks as Oda was lenient yesterday, if it was any other shinobi, they would have faced his wrath. Ria woke up in the police force headquarters and thought that Aiko was there but it was all just a dream, detective cases are not the only matters that were becoming difficult but the social relations outside the village, the more Konoha refuse the republic, more disputes arise and as a Detective, Ria must find the right solution in all this mayhem.

Afterwards, Ria went home to sleep, later takinga shower(Due to the loud water sounds that sprinkles, she can't hear the knocking) and shockingly instead of wearing her usual bikini outfit, she wears a dark blue and butterfly patterned Kimono, she also tied her hair in an appropriate way, a pony tail, princess hairstyle even her sandals were different, she brought a fan along then opened the door and saw Aiko. Ria was surprised that Aiko waited like a Prince in a shining armor, with knuckles sort of bruised all for her Princess. Blue flames ignited from Ria's hands and grabbed Aiko's hands, healing it.

"Good day! Aiko, I am sorry for making you wait, the first step of your training will be at the training grounds, the second would be in the mountains. Let's go. Wind Style: Camellia Ougi!." Red camellia flowers appeared just like the Sakura Ougi, it is used as a transportation as both instantly to the training grounds where Oda and Kota were on.
