.Red Eye Of Konoha. [Event]

[Aoshi]

The afternoon was fresh as the dawn of new beginnings rose over the horizon for Konoha's greatest.

"Three times for Konoha!!"

The cheer and excitement that filtered through the streets was palpable. The hustle and bustle of Konoha's regular districts was now doubled as the grand celebration began, banners and villagers dressed for the occasion abounding along the streets. Cerulean skies were dotted with the occasional cloud as the mid-day beamed down upon the population, warmth and relaxation cascading over the masses with every hot dish served or every cold drink downed. Even the tower was full of life, flags with the village's prestigious symbol streaking across the air in pride. And beyond the villagers that danced and mingled within the streets, the rooftops were abuzz with the talk of new leadership coming into play. Kazeraikou Gosei, the proud former Hokage of the Leaf, had stepped down and allowed another to take the reins. No information had been given as to just who the newcomer would be, but there was promise of youthful countenance by the end of the ceremony.

"Has anyone seen the Hokage?"

The tower's AnBu stood together along a balcony that overlooked the entirety of the village. The question was one expressed to all who were within earshot, though none would be able to confirm that he had arrived just yet. "Apparently, Lord Hokage is still training within the Land of River. He knows that the event is going on today. He'll be here before long." They were ever watchful at the village gates for his return. But for now, the more primary concern at the forefront was if the people would truly accept him among their authorities with open arms. A special section of the balcony was dedicated to Gosei and any he deemed his personal party. Tents of intricate tapestry were set up along the roads, manned by the allure of kunoichi that served food and alcohol alike.

Booths lined the streets to accentuate the occasion, mini-games ranging from the kunai toss to a closed-off circle designated for sparring matches taking place in the wake of the new Hokage stepping up to the plate. Finally, Konoha's rise to the surface would once more be lifted by a new soul. It had been a long time coming since its invasion only a year or so ago. Time and again, they'd been regarded as one of the weaker villages. Even with the Hyuuga and their inclusion to Konoha's forces, the struggle was more than noticeable to veteran and novice alike. Those in attendance numbered among the more notable of the Hyuuga clansmen. But just as one would have figured, they were relatively segregated and watching the spectacle from a distance - not like they couldn't see every detail, regardless.

The festivities would truly begin soon.

Enter, shinobi.

Greet the new Hokage. There is no such thing as a chain of command at this event. If you desire to speak to the Hokage, himself, then by all means! We're not snobs here! Just don't try anything funny. The food's been rigged to provide the "special plate" for the more bitter and emo of you lot.

Join us!

________________

But not all who planned to be in attendance were necessarily welcome...

"Red, do you copy?"

"Loud and clear. What are the orders?"

"We move when the Hokage arrives. Not a moment before."

"What about the women and children?"

"If it moves, it dies."

".....Understood."

It was the Kagé inauguration ceremony and Djynn wouldn't be late, he had heard there was to be a new kagé and always in a shift of power or attempted shift of power something went wrong. He knew this from the power shifts and attempted shifts within the pack before joining the village. Clearing his mind, the high teen aged sadojin would approach the festivities, he held the form a giant bush viper (view spoiler). The large gourd which was made from sand stone and it's contents together made enough sand to technically fill the gourd.

Hidden within his sand was a double scroll size pouch with a single baseplate compass and a world map within. The blue, green and yellow pattern continued along the serpents body with the only disturbance being the 'leaf headband' made from sand around the snakes neck to show it wasn't a harm to the villagers. The actual dimensions of the snake were one foot thick around the body with the tail going to a point and a foot and a half wide for the head, the gourd and it's sand had already been absorbed into the snake allowing such a massive serpent.

Sliding through the activities the sadojin would locate a corner and begin to coil himself up awaiting someone to approach him, he wasn't used to such big activities and found it easier with 1 on 1 contact with an individual.

[Loki 'The Seeker']

She was wearing her main outfit which consists of long coat that is the that is blue with big buckles the top, and 42 buttons on the edges of the coat. with large pockets that contained 30 hira-Shuriken, 20 flint, a flashlight and two kunai, the sleeves are cut short and held shut with a belt on her upper arms. with a long white sleeved shirt that is button down the front with fluffy sleeves. with a leather corset that was the main back support of this woman. her arms are covered in in the sleeves, her arms partly covered in leather gloves. about half up her upper body at her lower rib cage is a skirt that goes down to her thighs, about a 1/4 of the way down. just enough to cover everything up as needed. her stockings are a light blueish purple, with a small zipper on the top part. then her mid calf boots that are high heels with leather on the tops of the feet, and blue leather on the legs. then its held together on her calf with a pair of fancy leather buckles.

Loki wasn't one for many events like this one. Her jaded eyes would watch the happening with a mute interest. Her eyes would take in the crowds, in all honestly, why did people have to be together in tight little spaces? Because they were herd animals really, least that’s what Loki has figured out so far. Her face taking form of a ill mannered look as she would watch and wait for something to happen. Her right hand's fingers coiled around a pen that she had pose over the clipboard in her other hand.

Her feet would move as she would leap downwards at the pavement of the street to join the crowd as she would move in time with the crowd, keeping notes of what was happening before the new Hokage would appear to the crowd. Her eyes were now seemly bright as she was now with the crowd. Her coat tails moved in time with her as she would walk slowly up the street.

ears ago Gosei had sworn off walking large distances, instead preferring dramatic entrances on top of Sir Pounce'a'lot. Sitting in lotus position on his humongous red and black spider the Godaime would relieve his blue shinobi sandal covered feet from the burden of his own weight. With the headband on his forehead and his purple trimmed white hakama and kosode covered by his haori he sat on his arachnid as a king on a throne. So far he didn't make much of a sneaky character, riding his ten meters long spider, but the comfort certainly made up for the lack of stealth and this was after all just a social event.

Due to his expertise and storage methods the Hokage's impressive arsenal -14 kunai, 4 smoke and 4 stun grenades and 20 senbon -of which ten had explosive tags wrapped around them- did not make a single sound. The entire arsenal had been spread between two pouches and several pockets in his cobalt blue, gold trimmed haori, each laminated on the inside with pockets and soft fur, dampening all sounds. Moreover he also carried his fan tucked in his obi on the left side, a huge scroll, a comm device, 3 blood clot pills, 2 soldier pills, 2 small scrolls and a world map. Prepared for everything Gosei had hidden his gas mask, fitted with a strong filter underneath his haoiri, also tucked inside the obi, but on the right side. He was ready for anything.

Arriving at the street where the Aoshi would present himself on the balcony the Godaime would lightly hop off his mount. As an added bonus the dramatic entry had kept people who were curious about his reasons for stepping down out of the way. The Kazeraikou ordered the creature shortly, after which it crept out of sight against the side of a building, hiding itself on the roof above the balcony. It was out of sight of the streets, just as the Dragon of Konoha had intended. Not only would Sir Pounce'a'lot have blocked of the entire street, it could also have scared off any villagers.

Meanwhile Gosei would enter the building, passing several security measures before he would arrive on the balcony. A chair had been reserved here for him. Nodding to the AnBu, who would have obeyed his orders a few days ago, Gosei sat down, producing a tea filled dewar flask from his haori. The cap on the object doubled as a cup, in which Gosei would pour his tea. Taking a little sip he would observe the streets below. It was a beautiful spring day for this occasion and the start of his new life in the shadow of Aoshi.

[/b][/font][/size]onohagakure no Sato was more alive than any city Kunitsugu had ever chanced to witness. A little time had passed since he had been smuggled into the village by none other than its supreme leader, and though the sights; the sounds; the scents, they had all been grand, even more wondrous for their alien nature, but today they had been brought forth in full.

The throngs that bustled about the boy were irksome, and he bumped against many of their cheering number. Each time, Kurostubasa no Idaikuma rattled, baying its displeasure. Compared to the flocks of Shinobi about him, the Ronin was very poorly equipped; he carried a lone utility pouch on his left, deceptively empty; besides the obvious blade at his hip, this was still the boy's only arsenal. Still, it mattered little, and certain was no apprehension of the novice warrior. Konohagakure no Sato had proved itself to be a place of mettle, but hostility? Hardly.

Behind him and to the left, a short way through the packed crowds, a clearance had been made, where two combatants clashed blunted weapons against one another in a bid for glory at this prestigious event. Kunitsugu's fingers drummed at the hilt of his own blade, but for the moment the dexterity of the current duelers cowed his temptation. Instead, he looked out to the streets.

The main focus, of course, was upon the gate; the air was ringing with expectation of the big reveal. Kunitsugu's mind troubled itself with the Hokage he knew and had, in only one short encounter, grown to respect. His brow furrowed, though his expression was otherwise blank. For once his roughly patched noble's attire was not earning him any glances, for this oddity was, for the moment trivial.

Alike to the rest, Kunitsugu waited. His jade eyes were curious, and expectant. A being to match Gosei should be a spectacle, indeed.[/ul]

[Minoru Hyuuga]

[Enter]

The male was ready to start the tournament. He saw that there were a lot of people there that were going to participate. Minoru was a little scared since he had never been in a fight tournament like this before.
The closest thing that came to that was his Chuunin exams three years ago. But the guy had not arrived unprepared.

His Chuunin jacket had quite a number of items in them. He had three fragmentation grenades, two stun grenades, two smoke grenades plus four kunais in his flak jacket. Then was the weapon pouch at his left hip.
It contained six kunais, five explosive pouches, fifteen hira shurikens, ten exploding tags, three bloodclot pills, a soldier pill plus a gas mask with filter B. He had a double kunai holster with two kunais on his right leg too just in case.

Last but not least was his katana that he had named Shoufuu-aki. The sword was currently strapped to his right hip. Both of his animal companions were here as well.
Shimoko was sitting at his head, pretending to be a fluffy white hat. Toshio on the other hand was chasing a butterfly that flied around a tree next to them. 'I wonder who I will meet in the first round' thought the guy while he tightened his hitai-ate.

He had chosen to wear the Chuunin uniform on purpose since there were plenty of shinobis of all ranks here. Hopefully, the first round would be against a Genin or something similar.
'I hope there are people of different levels participating. It would be quite boring if not' thought the Chuunin. Pale purple eyes scanned the crowd...were there someone he knew here?

[Dr. Horible]

[enter]

Rana walked into the festival and was a little set back. The boy was not used to being around large groups of people like this. But he pressed on through the crowd of villagers. Fräulein was behind him using the transformation jutsu to look human. Nothing scared a crowd of people like a six foot squirrel. Rana’s other four squirrels where in his jacket staying still. They were just as uneasy in the crowd as the medic was. his katana was on his back where it always was and the boy pulled his trench coat tighter around himself.

The shinobi weaved through the crowd and wondered if this was going to go smoothly. But in the back of the boys mind he knew nothing ever went smoothly in this village, well almost nothing. Where there was power there were people who wanted it for themselves. So the medic was there to see how this went, and if needed pick up the pieces. The boy looked around and nearly lost his balance when he saw a giant snake curled up in a corner. Rana decided to avoid that if at all possible. Snakes always made his squirrels uneasy.

Rana walked to the opposite side of the snake and leaned on a wall watching the festivities. Fräulein stood on his left keeping her eyes peeled as well. With their inhuman hearing and smell nothing should have caught the two of them off guard. But they had been surprised before. And the ninja was not taking chances. He checked his pouch to make sure he had all his weapons, 2 smoke bombs, 4 kuni, 10 senbon, and 3 blood clot pills for emergencies. Everything was where it should be. As he scanned the crowd he looked for anyone he knew. That would make him feel a little more at ease. His dark green eyes scanned the crowd as he stood silently.

BmpBmpBmp.

A rhythmic beat that marked the slow approach of the Hyuuga. Headphones buried deep in his ears, hidden behind the pitch-black mane of hair framing his face, blasted the song at a volume loud enough that bystanders were also privy to occasional snippets of the music. An mp3 player was buried inside the pocket of his usual clothing; the white robes of his clan drifting slightly behind him.

Sandaled feet shuffled in an awkward, contained dance-- more a shuffling then a true maneuver. His left hand bounced in the air, keeping tempo with the steady drum that resounded about his personal space. A cheshire-wide grin stretched across his face as he strode through the crowds, eyes alternating between half-lidded and closed as he moved about. Truthfully, he didn't care much about this new hubbub. Orders were orders, whether they came from a woman or a Hokage he had to obey them.

It wasn't long before he arrived at the sparring circle- a small area that had roused the Hyuuga's curiosity. His pace brought him there before he halted, bone-pale eyes watching with a trained expression, and his feet finally stilled, although his hand kept up its rhythmic bouncing. Here he waited, watching the combatants with the grin still plastered to his face, his music disrupting the crowd enough that he had a fairly large personal bubble.

[Poëtische Rechtvaardigheid]

Saara was dressed in her black dress that is lined on the top and bottom of the dress on the edges is gold trim. On her person, more importantly is her double cloak is packing a wide range of items, which include, a pair of Goggles, a single wireless radio, 20 pieces of flint, a 8 inch flashlight, 15 darts on the first outer layer, then 16 Makibishi, 30 Hira-Shuriken, 30 Bo-shurikens in the inner layer of her cloak. Then in her butt bag she has, 10 glass cutters, 15 ice pouches, 15 Explosive pouches, a world map, a single base compass, pepper spray with 110 uses, water spray with 110 uses, two knifes, two kunais, 30 zipties, 1 lock-picking kit.

Saara moved into the area the sounds of people, her footfalls were the first ones to exit to the village. Her eyes cut back and forth. Her eyes were looking for signs of harm that would or may came to her kage. Her hands hung freely at her sides, her tones were ones of a relaxed pose, but could perform any needed handsigns in a given second if needed. Her job was protection to her kage, and her kage only, though, it may have extended to Aoshi in a short time of knowing him.

[Sairo Zassou]

Simple footsteps carried me into the village. Shrouded in my black cloak, my features were hidden from all of those around me. There was nothing showing the village I was from, but once the cloak was removed, people would know who I was. I had planned on this. My large gourd of water rested on my back, the water sloshing back and forth with every step. A small gourd of leaves was on my right side, ready to attack.

Above the gourd of leaves was my folded Dai Shuriken. On my left was my Katana, and a pouch with 6 Kunai, 12 Exploding tags, 15 Hira-Shuriken, 8 Exploding pouches, and 7 Incendiary Pouches in it. Hidden beneath the gourd of water was my Great blade. Hiding all of that was my black cloak, wrapped around my body, and my head covered by my hood. Black pants rested on my lower half, and black shoes carried my feet across the rock.

But beneath my black cloak was something else... It was the formal attire of the Tsuchikage. Some would wear it every day, others would never touch it. Me... I wore it when necessary. And I felt that at this event, it was truly necessary. I walked with Aoshi and Saara, paying little attention to those around me. "So then, Aoshi... Shall we get this show on the road?"[/color] I said to him silently, my back still burning from the seals of the Gods. I almost felt as though they were shining right through my clothing with how much they were going off. But this was new territory for them. And there were many potential followers.

[hagane]

Hagane walked around wearing his full gear, hearing about this event. The new Hokage would be announced and revealed, an interesting event. He wore his green and brown tactical vest and his black body suit underneath. Within his arsenal in his vest he carried 2 smoke grenades and a single incendiary grenade, 4 kunai, a pair of combat trench knives, a set of 2 small scrolls, 4 100ml vials, 2 100ml syringes, 30 Hira-Shuriken and 32 Makibishi Spikes. On his back he wielded his scythe, that had two blades that curved opposite of each other on the tip of the shaft forming an 'S' like shape. The black body suit went up to his neck and ended at his ankles and his wrists. The low cut brown shorts. A small, thin silver necklace would be seen over his neck and his attire ended in a pair of black tabi on his feet while his headband was tilted to the left.

Hagane heard their would be competition and sparring of some sort in this event and Hagane, ever the opportunist, knew the correct way to handle this was to be pit against someone older than himself. However, doing that would require him to both find someone who his talents could go up against as well as him actively antagonizing the said target. Hagane wondered about the village, taking note of all the individuals and shinobi today attracted. Different cuts and and different ranks all around as he observed the area until he heard a small commotion. There were a few people gasping and some sort of situation had caught some people's attention as some children from the Academy were making a fuss about not being allowed to join in as they had detention. Hagane chuckled for a moment at the thought, wondering if it was true.

One thing however, did immediately catch his eye. Being the son of a former ANBU Captain, Hagane was taught and shown the paths AnBu would take, how they would dress and most importantly, how to note when things were out of place. Hagane paid special note to the man walking about fully cloaked in black. He didn't know who the individual was but Hagane knew that whomever he was, his actual identity had some sort of value, as did keeping it hidden. Hagane, knowing this much simply paid knowledge to that being something to keep in mind for later. For now, he simply waited for the announcements to take place and the festivities to begin.

[Aoshi]

-- Enter Shinomori Aoshi.

[/right]

"Better late than never, my friend."

The words were muttered lowly, drowned out by the sudden burst of gasps and chattering that filled every nook and cranny of Konoha's streets. Majesty personified approached from the entrance of the grand event, a single patron ambling forth whilst donning the attire of new leadership. Onyx pools of softened gaze looked past all who now turned their undivided attention toward him, the scrutiny almost palpable with every step that he took. Locks of ebon swayed gently as his heart-shaped face was studied and admired, pursed lips granting a small smile in lieu of eyes being glued to his every ministration. Aoshi had arrived right on time, the very spectacle itself creating giggles and speculation alike from the village's inhabitants. The scarlet of his garb, fused with the pristine white of his uniform, signified full well that they needed to look no further when wondering just what entity would take office.

The turnout was quite daunting.

A single crimson piece attached to his right shoulder draped over his right arm, his sandals brushing lightly along the earth as his arrival was announced by one of the AnBu who stood atop the balcony. "He has arrived! Ladies! Gentlemen! I present to you the newest authority in office. Our Lord Hokage - Shinomori Aoshi!"

Four smoke grenades sat upon his person, accompanied by five kunai, fifteen shuriken, eight exploding tags, and fifteen feet of ninja wire. The Shiroi Kiba blade rest diagonally across his back, though appearing to be nothing more than an elongated bar of metal with how it was composed. Black ninja sandals adorned his feet, granting him the mobility to temporarily step away from Sairo and Saara. "If you'll excuse me for one moment."

There was far more to the introduction than a mere word of mouth. As if on cue, six AnBu seemed to materialize from the very confines of reality. Completely statuesque as they stood, Aoshi stood afront them with a single nod that would signal a mixture of devices and ninjutsu within the distance. From the heavens, pillars of flame began to rain down upon the very spectacle of a Hokage. They touched down and ignited fireworks that resembled spiraling dragons, swirling in homage to Gosei's former reign. The AnBu and their Hokage began to clap in unison, the sounds of music blaring out and into the crowd to coax the villagers into participation.

La....la, la la...la....

[/i][/right]

The Uchiha moved with purpose as the AnBu nodded toward one another, various division masks lining their countenances. He began to entertainingly check their ranks, inspecting his companions with a grin before resuming his place at their front. No sooner than when the gritty sound of music and a voice born of depth began, they proceeded to break out into modern fashion dance.

Bitch, I'm about to blow up!

There was little that could properly describe the fluidity in which they moved, every expert maneuver garnering "Ooh!" and "Aah!" from those who looked on with interest. Every isolation was achieved with poise, the Uchiha's arms granting accentuated flare to the routine that they acted upon for Konoha to witness. Every so often would they shift positions, the gliding and waving motions of their body's hinting that they were masters at the craft of dance and display. Genin and elder alike moved in rhythm to the tempo of the instruments that brought life to the major gathering. And at one point, there would even be a temporary slow that brought him to face Saara amidst his performance. A transition forced the AnBu to crouch and move about, the mysterious and enigmatic statement of "I wanna play a game" echoing throughout the congregation before he grinned in mischievous response.

Let's play a little game - just between you and I..

The slow and steady motions of his form yielded the more playful and flirtatious essence of his character; he wanted Konoha to not only see his youth, but his vigor and ease to approach. Whereas many simply hid within the confines of the office and rank, he engaged them. He embraced them. He stood among them.

Either way, the objective is the same - to please and entertain..

His eyes met Saara's as his hips performed a rather suggestive and fluid body roll, his abdomen heaving lightly before he turned completely back toward those that had been watching. If nothing else, they would have something to talk about whilst he operated behind the scenes to restore Konoha and Iwagakure to partnership.

Please do not swagger jack me!

Without warning, a transition once more took place as advanced footwork brought the AnBu closer to their Hokage. He kept in rhythm with smooth proportion, the message quite clear to the naysayers who surely would find his introductory routine gaudy or too expressive. But if Konoha was to come to unity, then all plains of being were to be accepted. This was simply his own way - and what a way it was as he and the AnBu circled their immediate vicinity and ended their dance with either arm bent at the elbow while thumbs pointed to their backs. An eruption of impressed and amused laughter followed, the Uchiha facing the tower with mirthful smile meeting the patrons. Even the large snake that had coiled about received a nod and a hand upon its head as Aoshi ambled by, motioning for Saara and Sairo to follow.

Standing in the middle of the sparring ring that was set to house further activities, the Uchiha placed his hands behind his back and nodded with an occasional "Thank you" toward those who shouted and acknowledged his skill from the crowd.

A grand entrance, indeed. But the party was far from over.

[Fui]

The snake in the corner would watch as the manypeople made entrances including the one person who noted him. However the notice came with weariness as Djynn noticed a few squirrels, with a chuckle he guessed that the man thought he could be a real snake. Just before Djynn would go and begin to make his way over an announcement came, the new Lord Hokage was being introduced and his eyes went to the spectacle.

As the sadojin laid in his coiled up position he kept his eyes on the kagé as he danced, he was an attractive young man and if he could blush he would. After the dance occurred, Djynn would look back at several other people, they would be his competition for the upcoming spars. Although he had an 'A' rank amount of san already absorbed into his body, Djynn decided it would be good for him to make some extra sand in advanced and without any twitch of his body the ground beneath him began converting. It took some chakra but five squared meters of earth beneath the snake would turn to sand ready to be used in a pinch.

The twenty foot long, foot wide snake would slither forward and coil up once more near the edge of the sparring zone where the kagé now stood. Coiling up one more time the snake now stood 6 foot tall with the neck and snake head being 3 foot taller than the coiled body. As he acknowledged the kagé's talent he heard a thank you from the kagé obviously not directed solely at him but at everyone in general. Looking around a little the serpents face would direct back towards the kagé as he made his rounds.

[Loki 'The Seeker']

Loki eyed woman as she stepped out from the gates, her eyes noted her forehead. Her way of dress, her how she even walked. Clearly judging by the grit, of walk, she had to wonder where this female was form. The next man to enter was one with a black cloak she eyed him thoughtfully as rested her hand under her chin as she leaned on the side of the building. Her eyes glanced at him, taking in how he moved. She would carefully take in the information so she could answer the questions of like; what was his grit of walk? Did he lean in way way when he walked or did he move evenly?

She also wondered what he was like up close, but then her eyes diverted to the figure that everyone was cheering for. Her lips moved to twist into a slight smile before going back to her relaxed pose. A young man, with raven dark hair had stepped out, and many were calling him Hokage. She would merely nod as the ANBU came up to him and they took their starting places. It was then that he broke out into a dance.

His message was clear cut and precise really, to lead, and have the youth to do so. He had the lead role in the dance, it was good, her eyes turned to glance at the man dressed in black to see his reaction before turning back to see the Hokage perform his part of the dance for the woman. Seemly, her head tilted and then filed it away to think about later. Her lips had to chuckle, even in his youth, the somewhat different entrance was good dancing. But her eyes returned to the woman now to see her reaction to this display of the Hokage. But then he moved, he gave her nod as he passed by her. Her head merely dipped, her clean skin that was visible to the eyes was all that was seen. Her body would lean on the buiding, before pushing off to follow the crowd until she would reach the tower to watch farther.

[Solus]

lowly more and more people would drip into the area. Unleashing his abilities as a sensor Gosei would start to scan the crowd for familiar chakra signatures. It was quite a convenient skill, considering that it was almost impossible to recognize faces in the vast crowd that had gathered. A few would immediately stand out, like Minoru and Kunitsugu, whom he had seen quite recently. Apart from these there were the signatures of many villagers and AnBu. Suddenly however the Dragon of Konoha encountered two new, relatively powerful chakra signatures. From his balcony he would immediately rest his eyes upon the source. Two people would wander by, each very hesitant to reveal their affiliation, in which one of them even went as far to wear a large shrouding cloak. The two clearly seemed to be together as they moved in unison through the crowd. Making a mental note of this the Godaime would move on to more important issues: Aoshi seemed to have arrived.

Fireworks would shoot up into the sky, shaped as the animal that Gosei had always used to represent himself and his family. The homage was clear. Shortly after the proud display which was sure to turn every head in the vicinity to Aoshi. Then the dance and music started. It was certainly not the type of music that the Godaime favoured, nor the dance. It however did not mean that he could not appreciate the skill and fluidity with which Aoshi would perform. And the beat was sort of catchy, so Gosei clapped to the rhythm along with ninety nine percent of the crowd. You always had that one percent who were too deep into their own emotions to participate.

When the performance ended with the entire group pointing towards their backs the Dragon of Konoha cracked one of his rare smiles and applauded along with the rest of the crowd. The youthful energy of the Rokudaime Hokage seemed invigorate the village and was a sharp contrast from the distant dignity in which the Godaime used to shroud himself. Without further ado the fresh Kage of Konoha beckoned the strangers Gosei had noticed earlier and would move into what seemed to be a fighting arena, although it was more of a sparring ring. Clearly there was more to come. What was Aoshi up to?

[Deleted]

[classy=template]Suddenly, uproar; Kunitsugu's eyes moved forth to seek out the streets. The adulation from the crowd spiked the boy's own adrenaline, and in a slightly involuntary maneuver he moved to the front of the crowds, bumping past a couple, his green oculi looking hungry for knowledge. When they found some, they stopped; a ways down the road, three figured approached, the obvious intention of the new energy. An announcement rung overhead, erasing all doubt. Cloaked in the obscurity of the masses, the wanderer observed these three individuals. One was cloaked, and one was dark-skinned, but neither of these were quite as immediately catching as the man who was obviously the new Hokage.

A contrast to his predecessor - or what little Kunitsugu had known of him - there was little sobriety in his demeanor as he broke away from his two compatriots, and a cluster of guarding apparitions swarmed to his flank. A slight hush developed as they began to clap, and Kunitsugu's brow raised as music, the kind of which he had never heard before, began to play over the scene. When they broke into dance, his brow instead deepened in contemplation, though those around him seemed drawn to the festivity. The Ronin was, however, part of that one percent too deep in their own emotions to participate.

Though the boy found himself at first baffled by the display, by the end it had drawn a rare smile from him, and the finale truly pulled at its edges, lighting his emerald eyes ablaze with a bit of his own appreciation, though still his pose was stoic. It was then that Shinamori Aoshi - as he was so ostensibly titled - blended quite easily with the crowds, making his own apparent progress to the arena Kunitsugu had found himself lingering near. The masses parted for the immediately legendary being. At one point there was a mere few lines between the outsider and the proprietor, but it mattered little; on the Hokage progressed, till he had ensconced himself within the arena that the previous occupants had hastily vacated.

A direct pace or to the left of the Ronin was a figure who seemed detached from all the goings on, immersed in what appeared to be his own music. Again, Kunitsugu frowned, detecting what seemed to be a fellow oddity. Still, his headband gleamed, and the wandered could not help feeling a little naked without one, what with the symbol's gleam thick and proud about the streets.

Pushing this thought aside, Kunitsugu waited for whatever would occur next, hand still resting on hilt.

He doubted he would enter the ring this day: He knew himself unfit to challenge a Kage.[/classy][newclass=template]font-family: felixtitling; text-align: justify; padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 60px;[/newclass][newclass=template u]font-family: blackadderitc; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; Text-decoration: None;[/newclass][newclass=template b]font-family: kartika; Text-decoration: None; font-weight: bold;[/newclass]

[Dr. Horible]

Fräulein and Rana scanned the crowd as they leaned on the wall. The used his improved sight, hearing, and smell to his advantage. Carefully noticing the ninjas who slowly trickled into the Festival. They watched the new kage’s grand entrance into the festival; the new Kage looked to be an interesting fellow. Rana noticed the “snake” in the corner beginning to move. He watched it very closely as it turned the Ground around it to sand then shrank, And Rana knew what it was.

”I do not think That is a real snake.” Said Tui from inside his coat. In the squirrel speak that no one here likely under stood other than the six in his present company. ”you don’t Say?” Said Fräulein in a snarky tone. “Aye, anyone can plainly see it’s not a real snake. It’s wearing a head band.” La said form inside his hood. ”Will you three zip it. I’m trying to pay attention here. “ Rana Said not taking his eyes off the crowd. He reached up and pulled his hood over his face more. So they squirrels could hide behind his face but still keep a look out.

Everyone seemed to be gathering around the Sparing arena. So the ninja pushed off the wall and began to walk over. He stood on the opposite side of the sand snake. Fraulein was right behind him in his walk over and stood on his left. Tui and La where in his hood now watching the People around him. When the light his the hood just right u could see Pair of white and black eyes peering out of the Dark hood. Iota and Yura where in his sleeves listening to everything that happened around the boy.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: Edited by Djynn's request))

"He has arrived! Ladies! Gentlemen! I present to you the newest authority in office. Our Lord Hokage - Shinomori Aoshi!" announced one of the ANBU officers. The male looked up to see the other guy arrive the scene with a rather elegant outfit.

A sudden explosion made both of his animal companions hide behind the tree in fear. Both of them poked their heads out moments later when the firework started. 'Whoaaa....' thought Minoru as he looked at the sky above him.
The firework was showing a number of swirling dragons that were probably a tribute to the previous Hokage. But the guy then noticed that Aoshi plus some of the ANBU's were lining up for some reason.

Some music that the Chuunin was unfamiliar with boomed out of some nearby speakers. 'What...is...this?' thought the male. His face had a mixture of dislike combined with confusion on his face.
The black-haired guy was NOT a very big fan of this kind of music. It was mostly the beat plus parts of the lyrics that contributed to that.

Shimoko and Toshio did not look that impressed either. 'I have to admit that our new Hokage has some pretty good dance moves though' admitted the guy with a smile. The Uchiha was able to perform quite fluid moves with relative ease.
Minoru knew that moves like that required QUITE a bit of body control...his Jyuuken lessons had proven him that. He let out a loud whistle while clapping when the crew was finished.

"SNAKE!" hissed Toshio while he looked towards the sparring arena. 'BYAKUGAN!' thought the male as he awakened his heritage. He zoomed in at the audience that were surrounding the sparring arena.
'WHAT!?' mentally screamed the Chuunin when he saw something that looked like a giant snake. But his eyes however were telling him something else.

'It...does not look human. But there is heat in it plus that there is chakra present' thought the guy as he scanned the body. Lavender eyes widened when they saw that there was nothing there that resembled a human.
He could not see any type of organs except for a rock of some sort inside this body. Were there more people like him in this tournament!?

Minoru:

Byakugan [x 5]. Can see up to 100 yards.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Allows the user to use the byakugan.
Special: ---
Drawback: Byakugan user has a 360 degree field of vision, with the exception of a small blind spot behind the user's first thoracic vertebrae (as stated in the manga). Lacks the power of analysis. This is demonstrated in an anime filler arc by Ranmaru, who created false chakra circulatory systems through the use of a dôjutsu (possibly a bloodline limit), causing the Byakugan to see inanimate objects as people and the objects themselves at the same time. However, it is not considered canon in a filler episode that a Byakugan user is unable to see the workings of such an “illusion”.
Description: Can see the minuscule chakra pressure points. With the use of certain hand seals, it also has telescopic, X-ray, and thermal vision. The byakugan is the key to Konohagakure's strongest taijutsu, the jyuuken, as it allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system of an opponent. Each level of its insight can therefore be mystified by proper means. When first learned they are capable of seeing up to fifty yards in a 360 degree radius except for that blind spot. Each time learned this amount of distance is increased by ten yards. When the user reaches up to a distance of one hundred yards the amount of training is increased to that of “B” rank level training. The amount of distance is still increased by ten. When the user reaches up to a distance of four hundred yards the user is capable of seeing even further but with an amount of “A” rank training.
Limit: Must be part of the Hyuuga bloodlimit.


Toshio:

Ikimono supîchi (Animal speech).
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Skill/ninjutsu.
Effect: A shinobi, or a warrior is capable, gaining the ability to speak as well as to understand the language between a type of family of creatures. This type of technique can be used to where they can accuratly speak, and concise in a normal like speech pattern to where the animal will understand the user, and the user will understand the animal.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of going into this depending on what type of animal helper they have.
Description: ---
Limit: This technique must be known multiple times. The user however must have a helper that is according to the correct speech. What this means is if the user has an animal helper of the canine breed, then they are capable of communicating within a speech form towards that type. If the user has a helper of the birds of prey breed, then they are capable of communicating within a speech form towards that type. Must have completed all basis of the animal helper performance. Must learn animal friendship, control, understanding and teamwork. Must also have at least have fifty training points with the partner past that of the friendship, understanding and teamwork before learning.

[Poëtische Rechtvaardigheid]

Saara slowed and allowed Aoshi to pass by herself and her kage as the fireworks went off, surpiseingly they could be seen in the distance, her eyes would turn and glance the Hokage as he would start to perform with his ANBU a dance. Her eyebrow rose slightly as he would launch himself into his dance, she was sure there was a message behind the dance or not, but she lived here not, so it would flow over her mind for the time being. Her eyes would pick over the dancing group, her view of the show would prove to be a little entertaining. Her cold look which for a few seconds while Aoshi would face her would prove to yield that water essence of her soul, a face that was still cold, but it looked like it could be moved to something other coldness.

Her glowing white on darken skin would be glowing lightly as she would tap her foot along with the beat. One of the few things that she would allow herself to enjoy was music. It was then that he would turn back to the crowd to finish his dance. With a waving motion he would wave at her and Sairo to follow him. Her footfalls would be heard as she would follow the Hokage to the sparring range. Her eyes would rest on a woman who looked odd, and she seemed to be watching the whole thing with a dislike but seemed to be eying her kage with a drawn in look of intrusted. She had to wonder if this woman would follow anyone of the gods.

But it was Aoshi's time, it all due time things would unfold around them all.

[∞]

A disappointed look crossed the Hyuuga's face as the spar ended, the man with headphones growing bored as his music faded, the rhythmic drums of his song replaced by the overtly loud music of the Hokage's arrival. A hand furrowed into his pocket, his slender fingers finding his music player and ramping it up several notches before switching to another song. As the keyboard of his new song began, he turned on a heel, sliding his way effortlessly through the crowd.

His walking continued as the Hokage made his way towards his ending destination- the Hyuuga paused in his walking to propel himself upwards, landing on the roof of a nearby building. From here, even without his Byakugan, he could watch the proceedings easily, without being to close. For now, however, nothing of particular interest to the Hyuuga was happening, leading to him leaning backwards, resting against a protrusion on the rooftop and allowing his eyelids to drift to half-mast.
