Feeling Sangetsu's bloodlust was like having a rotten scrag of meat thrown into the porridge you'd spent hours perfecting. Kotomi's mental state shifted, and she could feel the synapses in her brain tightening, focusing on the act of obliterating whatever was pervading her sense of safety. Her eyes, which had been turned down before, glared up at the blood drenched man before her. For a split moment, she visualized killing him, driving her blade into his neck and twisting it to make sure she severed his spine and died as swiftly as possible. Thankfully, her body's instinctual reaction was overtaken by her mind's admittedly slower interference, halting her killing intent. Takeshi placed a hand to her mouth, disallowing her to speak should she will it, though what she was prepared to expel were not words, by a cold wind of entropy. Her eyes shifted to Takeshi, and her eyelids relaxed. She had a disdain for speaking, honestly, she preferred to let her actions speak for her. So she let Takeshi give lectures and speeches, she couldn't be bothered. Before he lowered his hand, he gave her a look much like their father's, it was a look that set her at ease, letting her know that things were under control. Kotomi nodded her head and let him speak.
Sangetsu appeared to believe that he was to become the next Mizukage. Kotomi simply blinked in response to the very idea. She didn't pay very much attention to politics, but even she knew that there was no chance the village as a whole would accept him. That's what a kage was, someone that gained the trust and respect of the people. "Hmm..." Kotomi's eyes wandered as she thought of the word respect. Respect was born not only out of admiration and trust, but fear and power. Sangetsu was certainly strong, but was he strong enough to leash an entire village? Her eyes glanced at him for a moment, and she almost cracked a grin from the very idea that this man could place the village in his grasp. It was a good thing Takeshi was speaking, because he was able to voice what went through her head shortly ago. Kiri had changed over the years, even with her father gone now that fact remained. She didn't need to waste time even pondering what it would be like to fear Sangetsu gaining too much traction. He was a serrated blade without a hilt, the only thing he was good for was killing, he should stick to it. That was the only thing to respect from him, but it was no reason to follow him.
"Hm?" Her pondering was cut off as she realized her brother was preparing to leave, no, he was already leaving. Actually, didn't he pat her on the shoulder and tell her to move? Shaking her head she rushed to catch up to Takeshi, her pace slowed as she reached him. "Takeshi, Sangetsu may become a problem later." She stated. "With us campaigning against the Empire, we don't have the time for any in fighting." She stated, though she wasn't truly worried, instead, her tone implied she was making a statement. "... That letter however, it couldn't have come at a worse time. The Empress is going to make this war far more complicated than I hoped."

Are you asking for a summary, or what's to come next?
Kotomi Yuki exhaled, her cold breath visible in a large puff of white. She watched it, her eyes glazing over as they realized they couldn't watch the puff forever as it vanished. She had a bad habit of daydreaming, her mind wandered and her thoughts drifted in a pitch black tank of water. If someone asked her what she was thinking about, she'd always give an odd answer like "Everything and nothing." She let out another breath, but this one was warm and did not leave an enchanting puff of white to distract her eyes. It was the fault of her ninjutsu, the remains of which stayed with her for a while. Utilizing her breath she froze anything in her path, before shattering things unsavory. Her mother joked that were it not for her deathly glare, people may refer to her as an ice queen. Kotomi called her mother a pot, and told her not to tell jokes to a kettle.
Kotomi stopped walking, halfway because she had just remembered that she was even walking in the first place without paying attention, and halfway because her brother had also stopped walking. "What is it?" She asked, though at that moment she got her answer. The familiar imposing aura of Sangetsu covered her senses, and the sound of pooling water hit her ears. "Oh, it's you..." She stated, sounding almost disappointed. It wasn't that she hated Sangetsu, but it wasn't exactly exciting to see him either. She walked past the two of them, hearing the shark like man make mention of her father. Why did he have to go and do that? Her feet slowed down, until her pace was only dragging the bottom of her sandals across the ground. She eventually stopped, and let herself lean backwards and sit down. The ground was cold, but she was used to the ground. What she wasn't used to were the tears soaking her face. Her father shouldn't be dead, it was a fact that irritated her to no end. Any other ninja could go ahead and die a noble death, but not her father, not the man she looked up to for so long. From her right pocket, she produced a miniature sculpture. To the untrained eye, it appeared to be torch blown glass, however it was made out of melt resistant ice. The ice was formed into the shape of an animal she adored, the arctic fox. It was a birthday gift from her father, Shinji Yuki. The ice had to be maintained via her Kekkei Genkai every now and then otherwise it'd melt. She figured her father was challenging her, and joked that he'd die before she ever let it melt. What a stupid thing to say.
Her free hand balled up in frustration, and she banged it against the ground. "Eh?" Her anger was replaced with confusing as her fist collided with something not quite as hard as the ground. Turning her head, she saw that it was partial frozen corpse of a man. "Sorry about that..." She said, pocketing the ice fox and getting to her feet. Taking a closer look at the body, she saw that he had the same armband that messengers of the Empire had. He had some bad luck to be caught out between deliveries. Kotomi's head titled as she saw a parcel on him. Taking it, she opened it to find a letter inside. Her eyes scrolled like a typewriter as she read it's contents. "W-what?" Kotomi nearly dropped the paper from her hands, She found it odd that a mere letter was sent by messenger, instead of by carrier bird. This letter was...
"A peace treaty?"

I edited my post a bit, but I don't think the fight with Shukaku should be dragged on any longer, it's pretty much a punching bag at this point, and it isn't something that they can even kill.
Walking briskly through the castle, Shoko made her way back to the ramparts. She had instructed Yakoul and Ryuza to follow her, and await her command. From where she stood, she saw that the tailed beast was being engaged by her soldiers. The beast's arms had been cleaved off, it's lower body had been dragged into the Earth, and a combination of giant roots and tentacles had bound it. Shukaku roared in frustration as it's movements were sealed, the forest trees seemingly quaking in fear. It's mouth opened wide, and between it's sandy maw a red ball of chakra began to form, a bijudama. Such a technique had enough power to turn most of the castle she was standing upon to rubble. Yet Shoko was in no immediate danger, as the beast had aimed the attack downwards, intending to wipe out anyone and anything around it. Before the attack could be used however, Remi and the hornet queen's combined attack hit the beast head on, damaging him and causing the bijudama to erupt in the beast's face. Shukaku's body was a mess of falling sand at this point, yet as a tailed beast it would not die so easily. "Yakoul, stay here, Ryuza, come." The Empress spoke, before leaping from the ramparts. Her distant white form vanished into the trees, as she used the Body Flicker Technique to rapidly move towards the tailed beast. She quickly arrived, with Ryuza close behind her. Dark aura sprouted from Shoko, and formed into a lance that was driven into Shukaku. The lance did not harm the beast in any way, instead the one tails was shocked, it's massive body recoiling. The lance had pierced not it's body, but it's will. The oppressive chakra forced it into submission, turning it docile.
"How?...." Ryuza stood stunned, her wide eyes staring in disbelief. Shoko turned to her.
"You need not worry about that. Tell me Ryuza, what is it you wish to do?" The girl looked up at the Empress with a muddled face, the woman seemed to have a disdain for beating around the bush, as well as reading the mood of a situation.
"I am at your service, Empress." She said, mostly to herself. It had not been even an hour before she was trying to kill Shoko, yet now she felt the need to do whatever she could to serve her. The visions she had been shown were like a great wind blowing away the fog in her mind. The world was better off under the Empire's control, she knew that for certain.
"Very good, because I am going to seal this beast into you now." Shoko said, her hands already performing the handsigns for the sealing jutsu. Ryuza was prepped to voice her shock, but before she could Shoko had already formed the link between her and the tailed beast, and etched an Eight Trigram seal onto her stomach. Shukaku's entire form vanished as it was drawn into Ryuza's seal, causing her to pass out. Shoko caught the girl before she hit the ground, picking her up. She looked to everyone else that was here, everyone that had helped defeat the mercenary army and restrain Shukaku. "I am glad to see none of you were killed horribly, return to the castle, and await further orders."

"...Of course I get the fucking message." Nikuya let out an annoyed groan. According to the fatass beside her, there should have been a massive army at the front gates of the village, but there wasn't, which clearly meant this was a trap. She had been wary while coming towards the gate, if there was an entire army here she'd expect a bit more commotion in the village. "Alright, so just who are yo-... oh fuck me." She stammered as she saw the clone reveal it's self to be none other than the Hokage, Kenji Uchiha. Nikuya's hair flared upwards, and she prepared to defend herself, but then she felt someone grab her from behind. "What, when?" Her mind put the pieces together just before she was kicked towards the clone, she was never letting anyone she didn't trust lay their filthy hands on her again. Moving her hands, she activated a jutsu right before she was grabbed. The explosion hit her like a ton of bricks, causing her to bounce across the ground and out of the gate. There was a trail of water from where she was blown, and she lay on the ground soaking wet. She had activated a jutsu to soak herself in water, and then wrapped herself in her hair to buffer the explosion as much as she could. Even still, a streak of blood was staining her right arm, another scar to add to the collection. Slowly, not out of pain but disdain for this situation, Nikuya stood to her feet, avoiding eye contact with Kenji. "I've heard Uchiha take their grudges seriously, but I figured you above all that, Kenji." She chuckled to herself. "All right, all right, come and kill me then, just don't expect it to be easy, eh lava eyes?"

Natsumi's eyes were shut, and her ears focused. While she awaited the signal, she attempted to chill her nerves. She put on a confident face in front of her father and Kaede, but the truth was she was frightened. Not of battle, not of dying, but of having to kill. She had never killed anyone before, not even on any of the missions she had taken part in. She was a ninja, she was meant to be past such feelings, but she had never shaken them from her conscious.
"Pathetic child, groveling over such trite matters." A deep, soul gripping voice echoed in her mind. Natsumi's brow wrinkled.
"Kurama... It isn't such a light matter for me, I'm not a natural born killer like you are." Natsumi said. She was met with a disturbing mocking laugh.
"Not born to kill? Oh how wrong you are. You have the potential to kill, you've always had it, you simply refuse to use it." Kurama's voice faded from Natsumi's mind, leaving her as annoyed with him as she always was when he spoke.
A loud explosion went off, the signal. Natsumi opened her eyes, her Sharingan now active for the first time in six months. Her eyes took in every detail around her, a flock of birds scattered by the commotion flew above, and though they were but dots in the sky she could count each and every one of them, follow the flapping of each of their wings. "Kaede." She spoke, her usual saccharine voice now forcibly focused. "Let's go."

Not even a minute later Natsumi came across a squad of five empire ninja. On sight, one of them summoned a barrage of shuriken from a scroll, launching them towards her. Gripping her fans, the projectiles were deflected easily with a flourish, and she sent a blade of wind towards her attacker, catching him in the neck and sending him to the ground bleeding profusely. Her right eye twitched as her attack connected, she had just killed, and it was so easy. Perhaps Kurama was right. She charged forward and leaped above the squad. In the air, her body lit aflame as she used Righteous Immolation. She dive bombed into them, sharp tongues of flame slicing into the remaining men as she swung her fans. Her targets dropped to the ground, their bodies burning away. "This really is too easy... Has it always been this easy?" Natsumi mused, as another group of Empire ninja approached. More moths to the flame.
"How?...." Ryuza stood stunned, her wide eyes staring in disbelief. Shoko turned to her.

What's a "New Z land?" Is it as cool and hip as New York?
Making Rebel spots unavailable, since we have so many and the balance is out of whack. So unless you were JUST about to post a Rebel character, no more.
Holy crap enough about stupid what ifs DX
S-so how about that Naruto series? I hear it's p-pretty good- HAHAHAHAHA.
Oh, are you guys expecting me to control Shukaku? I have plans for the one-tails, but you can do as you want with it, just don't 'kill' it.

Why are people angry over new Kekkei Tota? Almost every character has a serious case of USI (Unwarranted Self-Importance). So everyone should deal with SPECIAL POWERS. Heck mine is fucking sucking its own cock in bio. Lul. Enough rant, needs more rebel plot shit to kick in.
Yakoul confirmed male.
