Upcoming Plans [O]

[Natsy]

[Enter]

Well that was surely interesting. Having my time wasted and visiting the embassy to see and be rudely greeted by a woman who clearly had a strong disliking for me. The only thing I found worthwhile was meeting the Duchess of Mo. Reaching up to my neck, I rubbed the back of it in frustration before running my fingers through my hair. Well since I am the leader of this village, it is always a good thing to travel around the country to ensure that everything is in order. Perhaps I will return here to keep an eye on the woman's attitude in the future.

As I hiked away from the embassy, my attention was drawn to the lush grass surrounding Taki no Kuni and the trees possessing a musical dance of birds and insects as they sang constantly throughout the day. I was dressed in my Traditional Godaime Outfit while my butt-bag was strapped to my right buttock consisting of thirty blood clot pills and ten kunai. I had left my cloak at home so I wasn't overly armed despite I had four AnBU guarding me from a distance. It was a hot day and I didn't feel up to wearing a black cloak over top of this dress.

Suddenly the thought of heading back into the village didn't seem like that much of a good idea. But suddenly I remembered something. There was a tournament that was scheduled to happen very soon and that the arena for where this will take place was currently being built. Realizing this, I decided to head over toward the area to see how my men were progressing and when I should throw the tournament should I receive a date for when the construction will be complete.

[Kamyuja Hitomi]

(Entering that tournament with a different account so no go for entering with Hitomi here.)

Waltzing her way through the Lands Hitomi couldn't help but think her journey to the Land of Snow was going to take a while longer than she had wanted it to, this earth would not bend to her will. Yet. Her eyes were still glazed over with images of corpses and murder, fantasies of a lune though to her they were real. Still she was beginning to come out of her trance, Mr. Biggles making an appearance, throwing these images out of her mind as something caught his attention in the distance. "well look at what we have here!" the pink and green furball exclaimed as a small group came into vision, Hitomi being the only one able to hear him. "It appears as though someone interesting has just entered our line of sight, let's go and say hello" he suggested as Hitomi couldn't help but agree. Currently Hitomi had no weaponry on her person so the annoyance of a group of people could be interesting. Clothing wise she was wearing an orange sleeveless t-shirt which stopped above her belly button and has two seams going up the front though they’re there for fashionable purposes only. She has also sown two blue streamers of fabric on the back of this shirt (in a Konohamaru sort of Fashion) to act as something of a cape as she runs and is wearing short green mini skirt with white trimming and a seamed pattern going through the length. A yellow belt which turns to an orangey brown colour where the length is adjusted holds this skirt up.

Not to mention the arm straps halfway up her bicep, being green and black in colour, and a pair of black goggles around her neck. These goggles while once being for tactical purposes however have no use in battle anymore as her 'work' goggles were stolen. She's also wearing a pair of mismatching gloves, one short and black and one that reaches up to her elbow and is a beige brown colour but enough about clothing.

Approaching the group Hitomi would attempt to head to a distance of about twenty meters ahead of the nearest ANBU as she could now see it, she was hopefully but she kept her distance in-case things got dicey (couldn't let a mere human or two kill a god now could she?). Stopping in her tracks she'd then address the girl in the center of the group, the one whom she could only assume was being protected by the ANBU around her else why would they be there? "Well now that clothing looks rather royal. Tell me are you perhaps a head of this here water country?" the youngster would question. "My name is Kamyuja, Hitomi. Former Kazekage of the Sand Village. I know the attire of a fellow Kage when I see it" she then trailed off leaving this stranger to make what they wanted of it. She didn't care about whether or not it was a positive or negative response, as long as they knew her title it was all that mattered.

[Natsy]

Traveling through Seisui seemed to have it's perks as the moment one of my AnBU spotted a figure in the distance, my gaze soon followed to find what appeared to be a child approaching me with a curious demeanor to her. My head tilted to the side slightly before my smile turned warm. “Why hey there, was not expecting to see another Shinobi in the area.” I said softly, eying the girl's current attire. Odd. “And yes, your right, I am Rosalie Salt, Godaime Takikage. I was just strolling around to visit an arena for an upcoming tournament open for Shinobi.” I explained casually, fully aware of what village the child came from.

An ex Kage? Kazekage. She was the former Kazekage of Sunagakure? At such a young age? Well I shouldn't judge, I was ten when I was appointed. “May I ask why are you wondering around in a country so far away from your home, Miss Kamyuja?” I then ask, my eyes softening slightly as I studied the young girl. The AnBU to my right leaned into me and began warning me of the Clan's behavior. I stiffened slightly, slightly nervous about her now. Looks can be deceiving and no matter now young this child looked, she might have a dark side to her.

[Kamyuja Hitomi]

The opposing woman, now known as the Takikage, greeted Hitomi politely which was indeed a good thing as if she had addressed a god in a negative manner it would have ended badly. After the woman introduced herself as a Rosalie Salt Hitomi was given a clue to where she was. "The Takikage you say, so I am in the Land of Waterfalls it appears... Makes sense... Given all the waterfalls in the area", it was of course obvious to someone of this Land that that's where she was though to Hitomi who wasn't a native, the confirmation of her suspicions was of course a good thing. She was then questioned as to the nature of her business in the Takikage's country, a fair and stout question indeed though her ANBU it appeared grew suspicious. [pink]"Hey look, that ANBU thinks your a threat and is telling the Takikage that!"[/colour] Mr. Biggles the invisible rabbit in Hitomi's head exclaimed as he came to rest upon the tiny gods head with a 'plop'. "I know that because I can read lips! He also said that he was going to rape and kill you if the Kage would allow him too, kill them all!" he continued, demanding that Hitomi follow his instructions. His demands fell on deaf ears though as Hitomi shrugged him off. "Oh you can not! Besides he wasn't speaking long enough to say all that to her" she verbally chastised the pink fluff ball as she moved in closer to Rosalie. Looking her in the eye and ignoring the ANBU entourage, who probably weren't allowed to even talk to her anyway, Hitomi responded to the Godaime's question, flicking her hair once as she did so.

"It's not in my nature to be vague so I'll tell you that I'm heading on my way to the Land of Snow right now looking for allies to take back the Sand Village with. Our paths just happened to cross as I did so." Her response was honest and true but although she did answer her question Hitomi was of course the one in charge here and any question, and she meant any question, that she would ask of Rosalie she would expect the same honesty. Hitomi would continue to talk until she was in close proximity of Rosalie (approx 5m if you decide to attack me for some reason), actually within arms reach of one of her ANBU. "I'm not in any rush however and it seems as though you're in a position to amuse me so I think I'll hang around here for a while." It then occurred to Hitomi that this person was the Takigake, as in the Takigage, as in the leader of Takigakure the Takikage, as in the leader of Takigakure the takikage someone who may know something about another set of people she may know. She had some questions for this woman in the future. She wanted to know about the Lightning Village. The lightning village... And 'THAT' monster...

"You needn't worry about your safety, if my intention was to attack you I would have done so already. Have your ANBU removed from the area, you will be under my protection for the time being, it's all you need"

Mr. Biggles was bored. "Aww... I want bloodshed..." he whined as he curled up and began to fall alseep. Hitomi's eyes would glance up momentarily and an agitated expression would cross her face. She was the one who wanted bloodshed. Bloodshed in Sunagakure. Kira was going to pay for stealing her throne but Kira was a god as well, to fight another god and be victorious she would need no interruptions from the common man else she'd be over powered. She needed her own army to combat Kira's but that took time.

(OOC: just post as you being able to hear Hitomi's side of the conversation with Mr. Biggles and stuff. With her being insane and all she can see and hear him but he's not actually there etc.)

[Natsy]

Well, a part of me was wondering who the young girl was talking to as no visible person was within the area surrounding the child. But she appeared to be talking to someone, or something that seemed to be standing right beside her. The AnBU and I continued to watch her expressions while she spoke but since she hasn't shown any signs of aggression, my AnBU would remain silent and observant.

“Yes, this is Taki no Kuni. Very peaceful and somewhat easy to recognize don't you think?” I say with a slight chuckle as my concerned gaze continued to search hers. My gaze shifted toward the AnBU standing to my right to meet with an unseen expression from his end. Everyone in the group was wondering what kind of person Hitomi was, since she was indeed talking to herself. But before I got out another word, Hitomi spoke again, demanding that I excuse my AnBU from sight.

Now, this was not going to happen. I did not judge people so easily, but with the child talking to some unseen person or thing and behaving the way she is, there was no way I was going to dismiss my AnBU. “Now, I am sorry Miss, Kamyuja, but I cannot do that. The AnBU are for my protection, and since I do not know you, I still cannot dismiss you as a threat. Please understand this as a Kage to another.” I explained softly, unsure if my words would strike a nerve within the young Shinobi. No doubt this will anger her, but should a fight occur then so be it.

At the mention of Yukigakure earlier on, my attention shifted immediately to that since avoiding a fight now became my top priority. I had no intentions in falling into combat with another village's Shinobi, nor having this young, somewhat deranged girl have her village declare war upon mine over a disagreement between two civilized people. But the question was, was Hitomi civilized? “So.. Yuki no Kuni you say? Well that is not too far from here. Is Sunagakure currently looking for a potential alliance?” I ask with a smile, hoping to change the subject should Hitomi not show signs of aggression.

[Kamyuja Hitomi]

Layla declined to have her ANBU disperse, not entirely surprising. "Hn, cowardice. A trait you humans seem to have in common with one another" the young sand princess Hitomi berated. She was hoping that this Kage had a bit more courage than the average shinobi but it appeared as though she didn't. "I've no idea what Sunagakure is doing as of late, hence the title of 'Former' Kazekage. I am looking for the alliance on a personal note - to take back and destroy the current political party whom is surveying over the village, I'm sure those in Yukigakure would enjoy a good fight."

SPOILER: Click to show

If your kind enough to write out the ANBU I'll write in a scenario where I go bonkers and have you 'aid' me in fighting a bunch of imaginary people lol those guys would just get in the way of a goofy plot line

[Natsy]

Being called a coward struck a nerve. How dare this child declare me a coward! My expression hardened as I studied her. Hitomi had a very strong, assertive and proud demeanor to her, and she flaunted her courage and abnormal personality without shame. I fold my arms at this misconduct and slice the girl with my eyes. “I am no coward, Miss Kamyuja. Far from it.” I said venomously, my plum colored eyes narrowing slightly. My attention then shifted toward the AnBU surrounding me as each gave one another apprehensive glances.

I didn't need to see their faces to tell they were concerned. Nevertheless, my right hand was raised dismissively before my arms were folded. With my posture turned defiant and my mood aphotic, the AnBu hesitated before each disappearing into the landscape, expanding their distance from me to at least 10 meters. Both Hitomi and myself now stood within the square of my four AnBU, well within range of any attack should one develop. With the AnBU 10 meters away from Hitomi and myself, I then sized the girl haughtily. “Satisfied?”

From the sounds of things, Hitomi had gone rogue from her village and wanted revenge on the new Kazekage and her council. My eyes and mouth flickered a hint of interest at this and my posture softened slightly. “So you think Ace will oblige to your willingness to destroy your own village?” I say matter-of-factly. Pity the village wasn't Stone, otherwise I would have jumped straight into assisting mode. Deep inside me, I released a long sigh of disappointment, but on the outside, I held a posture befitting a very annoyed, pissed off woman with a hint of elegance.

[Kamyuja Hitomi]

It appeared as though this Takikage girl was offended by HItomi's remark, this amused her slightly. The notion that moving the ANBU a mere 10 meters away as being brave also amused her, such an innocent girl this was. "Oh very" Hitomi exclaimed throwing her hands up in defense of herself/ "Sorry to have offended you Miss, it was not my intention." Hitomi's composure was relaxed, she had no intention of fighting at the moment, as tempting as it was. Perhaps later. She was more interested in speaking with this woman, it was indeed entertaining, that's all these 'regular' humans were capable of being. Entertaining. The next words out of Salt's mouth proved to be the most interesting however as she spoke as if she knew the leader of Yukigakure. "Sure, why not?" the former Kazekage retorted, throwing a hand to her hip. "If not for the glorious right to fight then for land or money or whatever else may interest him. I'm sure that there would be someone in the Land of Snow that would feel like throwing down against the false government of my people. Question however - who is Ace?"

Whilst Hitomi knew that the position held in Yukigakure was that of the Yukikage, she had no idea who that was. Ace could have been some random person living down the street for all she knew. Confirmation was needed.

[Natsy]

Seeing my change of choice about having protection apparently amused Hitomi as she seemed somewhat cheerful knowing that she held some intimidation over me. How could I be intimidated by a pre-teen? She was not even half my age, despite my current maturity is perhaps younger than hers. I was unsure of Hitomi's current age, but she was definitely younger than I am. My gaze sliced into her as she spoke about her intentions in offending me were not what she had indicated. Sure they weren't.

The blonde seemed extremely clam and relaxed despite she was technically the one in danger. One movement from me and my AnBU would be on her in seconds. But something about this girl made me wonder why she went rogue. Now, I didn't particularly like Hitomi, but I must admit that she is a somewhat interesting young woman. Loosening my posture, I dropped my arms to my sides and listened as she spoke about a possible plan for the destruction of her village.

Now, this caught me off guard, was this child attempting to bring down Sunagakure using one of my allies? Was she that insane? And speaking with another Kage about such plans was a very bulsy move despite she must know that I had connections with Yukigakure and would perhaps alert the village once we parted ways, right? “Ace is the current Yukikage. And I can assure you my dear, he will not be too pleased to hear about your plan. Now, I don't know why you dislike your new leader, and quite frankly, that is none of my business, but I am absolutely certain that Ace would not comply with your ideas, no matter how persuasive you are.”

I said a little too smugly, but my tone remained soft as to not offend her. However, my expression changed when I opened my mouth again. “I personally do not know about your current Kazekage, so I can't exactly.. well how can I word this, come to an agreement regarding your..” I broke off mid-sentence for a moment and studied her reaction during my brief pause. “thoughts, so perhaps if you could tell me what they have done and maybe we could come into an agreement over this rather than traveling all the way over to Yukigakure.”

Now, I was not the type to pick fights, but if Sunagakure had connections to Iwagakure, I wanted in on it. I wanted outside information on Iwagakure first before attempting my strike later on. And if Hitomi was willing to assist me on that, well then maybe we both will gain something from this encounter.

[Kamyuja Hitomi]

Unsettled to hear that Ace would not be interested in the war, though not completely deterred as Hitomi was yet to be able to trust Ms. Salt, the young Kamyuja was surprised to hear the woman seem eager to provide assistance. It threw her off guard for a moment. "They stole my seat out from under me? What else is there to know?" With a sigh Hitomi then relented. It seemed as though she'd ahve to explain her current situation though she was not one for going into specifics, that stuff was hard to remember and she had a lot of black outs from time to time. "As I was away on a mission I was defeated by a couple of monstrous foes - I was lucky to escape alive. Upon returning to the village I found that my former lover had taken over my empire. Since then I swore revenge, wandered around a bit, got the idea to raise an army to face her and then wound up here." That summed it up nicely she supposed, not really caring to add too much more to the story.

With that said however it was time for Hitomi to ask a question of the current Takikage; one she was very interested to know the answer to. "Which begs the question; why are you offering your aid in this affair? Your village currently has no ill will against the Sand Village does it? So tell me why?"

[Natsy]

Revenge on being overthrown while on the throne it seems. I fought back a rolling of the eyes and broke eye contact with the child for a few moments. Was this really Hitomi's reason for turning on her village? Just what kind of Kage was she? As the little blonde haired girl continued speaking, she mentioned something about a lover and a woman taking over the throne of Kazekage. Now, I was not a person to judge a person's sexuality, but Hitomi looked barely twelve, and she had a lover?

Very dysfunctional this one. I sigh at the thought and smiled to hide my frustration. “Well it seems like a very unusual reason to turn on your village.” I said, perhaps a little judgmental, depending on how a person would take it. But when I was confronted about my assistance to this matter, my gaze sharpened. “I am not offering anyone my aid in anything. But you are correct, I have no ties with Sunagakure at all, and is unaware of their status. But I am currently looking for information on Iwagakure.” I said, my tone slightly haughty. I really hated that village.

"So I was thinking, perhaps if you searched for, or provided me with information on Iwagakure, maybe I might be able to assist you in your affairs." I say, a devious smile flickering across my lips. My AnBu were well within hearing distance, but my entire village was aware of my hatred for the Stone village. I wonder if Hitomi was allied with Iwagakure during her rein. Now that would be very interesting information.

[Kamyuja Hitomi]

[Sorry I wont hold you up anymore]

It appeared that this woman had an enemy that was allied with Hitomi's own enemy. INteresting. "Information on the Stone village, hn" setting a thumb to her chin in thought Hitomi began to recall all she knew of the Stone Village. "The Stone Village... The alliance with Stone was something established during Kira's reign as Kazekage, I have no information regarding their military to give you" setting her hands on her hips now, a grim smile plastered itself across Hitomi's face. "So I guess I'll just have to go and snag myself a Stone ninja then huh? I'll return him to you alive, the information you gain is all up to you! Come on Mr. Biggles we're going ninja hunting!" With that Hitomi bounded off the ground three times into the distance, each jump going further and higher than the last until she was out of sight.

[Exit]

[Natsy]

Well it seemed as if Hitomi was indeed not going to provide me with any information regarding Iwagakure. But she was aware of Sunagakure being allied with them. Now, I was not the type to be judgemental, but this automatically put me off Sunagakure altogether. But when the hyperactive blonde spoke of bringing a Iwa shinobi to me my smile grew. “Interesting, well I will hold you to that my dear. And if I don't hear anything from you in a month's time, either I will send someone to find you, or I will find you myself.”

Was I threatening the Sunagakure Rogue? But as I watched her leave, my gaze turned from her departing bounces, to the AnBU who were now approaching me. “I want her watched. So if we don't hear anything from her in a month's time, I want her hunted down and her body bought back to me.” I said, my tone even and skeptical. I did not trust her, nor did I believe her to be truthful in what she said. I wanted information on Iwagakure, but if Hitomi was going to travel to Iwagakure to inform them of my plans then she will need to be stopped.

I turn in the direction of my village gates and decided to prepare a mission for her removal immediately.

OOC: Move to Taki no Kuni please.

[Zetsumei]

Moving

[Natsy]

After the short travel toward the gates, I glanced around the area first before disappearing into the water for the long swim ahead.

[Exit]

[Kamyuja Hitomi]

[Yeah just letting you know you might want to hold off on that one months time thing. I do not have a compass and traveling is going to be a bitch.

[Natsy]

[Enter]

A bright summery day cascaded over the horizon. Beautiful scenery ran along the landscape, waterfalls stationed all over Taki no Kuni. Birds sung beautiful songs while the crickets danced hidden in the bushes. I had just left the village in hopes of travels. The temptation to visit my allies was a priority at this point as it was a long time since I had seen any of them. Was Ace still Yukikage? What about Kireme? I had not yet met the Mizukage, but have been told a great deal about him.

Glancing down at my map, the closest village to Takigakure was Amegakure, so there was a heading for my travels. It probably would have been a better idea to send notice first, but I was the type of person to give out the element of surprise. But what if Amegakure was at war with another village? That could be dangerous for me and the thought of walking straight into a battle didn't exactly excite me in the least. So I gave out a loud, high-pitched whistle and awaited for a messenger beetle to approach me while I briefly wrote a small note down on a clear parchment of paper that was usually strapped to the beetle's horn.

Once that particular message was re-attached to it, the large bug would be sent off toward Amegakure moments before I began my travels. Sporting my Godiame Outfit, my dress swayed gently in the soft summer breeze while my boots created small indentations in the ground. The white cloak I wore consisted of a world map, twelve tracking needles and thirty kunai knives, which was wrapped around my body snugly to prevent myself from catching a chill. I also knew that I will be needing it to shield my weaponry from the weather in Amegakure.

Although this particular cloak was not like my black one, this particular cloak didn't possess a hood which was unfortunate for me. But with my long red hair being left down, I found myself walking there nonetheless. My butt-bag was strapped around my waist, filled with thirty bloodclot pills and ten kunai knives. I had thought about buying more weapons during my travels, but decided to do this once I arrived in Amegakure. My two hand axes were also strapped to my butt-bag should the need to defend myself arise. It didn't hurt to be cautious.

Glancing down at my world map again, I ventured toward the direction where I thought was where Kusa no Kuni was and began my journey from there.

OOC: Move to Kusa no Kuni please.

[~Emi~]

*moves a small pawn of rosie over the world chess board to kusa*

Done~

[Natsy]

On second thought, since I haven't met the Mizukage, why not visit him first before heading over to see Kireme. Glancing down at my map again, I suddenly realized that I was heading in the opposite direction of Kirigakure. I release a long sigh at this and turns back around to head south toward Hi no Kuni. The beetle should be arriving in Amegakure by now so hopefully the Amekage will be notified of the meeting that I wish to make.

The familiar land of Hi no Kuni was warm as it always was. The greenery was perfect as always, but I did find the climate a bit too hot for me. The distance in which I traveled at times was astounding, but I did always enjoy them. The sun was at it's highest, and the winds were warm and breezy. A little too hot considering I was in a country that was blazing hot year-round. Pity I didn't own an umbrella as this place can really make a person work up a sweat.

But as long as no one decided to jump into my line of sight, I will be fine. But in a country this large, that was highly likely. Grinding my teeth together, I press on forward, in hopes of passing through this large country and make it out on the other side alive and intact.
