Castle Yukigakure  

The structures of Yukigakure are predominately wooden, mostly due to the harsh climate and limited good time for the setting of mortar and the construction of buildings. Yet, one of the few stone buildings, an ancient building, who has seen countless collapses and fires and horrible events, has been repaired to a reasonable extent to be used for the Yukikage, both to prove a point and to serve as a safe place for his citizens in a time of war. It is also currently serving as the Yukikage Tower, where ninja go to request missions and other things.

It is set up into a hill, composed of black stone, and always surrounded by piles and piles of snow. The maintenance of the city tries to keep a path clear to it, but more likely than not, for three months a year, the ninja who visit the place will be walking on a path composed of packed snow. It is a long hike, a mile maybe, up a steep and rocky and snowy hill, which is close enough to the mountains that a wrong move could bring an avalanche. The entire path is not for the weak of heart. Yet, as one climbs, they will see the stout stone structure better and better, a sturdy looking building. The building is not a cleverly built one, it has a relatively flat roof, which would easily collapse if it were not thoroughly buttressed and often shoveled clean of snow. The gate into the place is a iron door, heavy, and barred with a thick oak beam in times of danger. Rather than have a guard whose duty it is to stand outside (a horrible job, in these climates) the Yukikage has commissioned arrow slits, which look to the outside, which a guard is to check periodically, just to make sure all is okay. The door is unlocked normally anyways, but a soldier is there for any rarely needed assistance. If you cannot open a door, you are hardly fit for life in Yukigakure.

Stable, Fancy
Rank: "A"
Type: Main, Room, 1 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A building for the lodging and feeding of horses, cattle, etc.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This stable has hay on the floor, but the ground is either wood or stone. The stables are lined with fresh hay, and each horse has access to its own water supply. The troughs are all made of stone, and there’s even a small fireplace in here to keep things warm in the winter. This place can hold up to 6 Large steeds at a time, each in their own stall. If you need a greater capacity, you can purchase this component multiple times.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 30,000 Ryo

Occupants:
Tundra, Owned by Lord of Cold
Horse, Light Owned by Yukigakure [Norwegian Fjord]
Horse, Heavy Owned by Yukigakure

Right outside the gate is a nice, stout, stable building, with room for six beasts at a time. It has a fire, always burning inside of it, but is discouraged for those not involved with the animals inside to visit. A groom awaits there, at most hours at least, taking care of the horses and such, and making sure that he can provide for their well-being, keeping them fit for fight or flight, whenever the need may arise. The floors are dirt and hay, which sucks the heat right out of the building, but any horse raised in Yukigakure is simply happy with the fire. The walls are stone, a sturdy building, to house the sturdy steeds which live there.

Gatehouse
Rank: "C"
Type: Main, Room, 0.5 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A house or enclosure near a gateway.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This space usually serves as a primary entrance into the stronghold (or one of many entrances). As its name suggests, the gatehouse includes a gate (and a drawbridge, if stationed adjacent to a moat). Defense can be enhanced with a portcullis. Most gatehouses are fortified with a barbican, guard post, or both.

Guard Post
Rank: "C"
Type: Main, Room, 0.5 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A small building for the soldiers who are protecting a place.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This component allows guards to keep watch upon the surrounding environs. If part of the exterior wall, it includes free arrow slits instead of a window.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 5,000 Roy

The entryway is a small room, but many stop there to warm their hands, as there is a blazing fire there at almost every hour. Once they go through, they will have to pass through a large courtyard, which is largely a statue garden due to the lack of good gardening. The statues are of strong warriors from legends, all bearing huge axes, swords or hammers, and striking fierce poses. The few statues not of men are of monsters, being slaughtered where they stand. It is an inspiring garden for all those of war, but the statues are had to see most of the year, when the snow piles up in the garden. There is a centerpiece fountain, which is more of a joke than anything, dedicated to the goddess of peace in an ancient religion from this region. She has the nectar of peace flowing through her in the form of the water that is designed to flow through the fountain, but, due to the poor condition of the fountain and the icy cold, that peace never flows. Once somebody passes through the garden, they reach the ‘throne room,’ which is where all of the business takes place.

Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.

Cost: 800,000 Ryo

The Great Hall

The room which one enters next is a large room, and is a combination of common room, throne room, and dining room. It is the Great Hall, and it serves many purposes. Firstly, it is a common place for ninja to idle, awaiting fellowship, employment, or even simply the food which is prepared for the lord of these halls. Secondly, it is the reigning seat of the Yukikage. Many sovereigns prefer secretive offices, but the Yukikage has selected an open room to make decisions in. He wants to make clear and bold moves, not the kind of subtle, intricate and theoretical moves that an office seems to provoke. That very seat is not a particularly comfortable one. It is a large and old one, carved out of stone, with details of snow and frost done upon it, as an homage to the land which its owner rules. Thirdly, this is where potential hirers of the ninja village come, to present their missions to the ruler. He then decides what the rate will be, and whether or not he wants to take on the mission. If a ninja wants to take on a mission, they will do it by interacting with the Yukikage when he is sitting the throne, or by talking to his steward if he is out and about. The walls are adorned with tapestries of tremendous size and quality, who show scenes from the history of Yukigakure. It also has silver ornaments adoring its tables, and a quite ornate throne of precious metals for an assistant to the Yukikage to sit in beside him.

Kitchen, Luxury
Rank: "S"
Type: Main, Room, 2 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A room or area where food is prepared and cooked.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This massive kitchen includes two full-sized stoves, each with a griddle, stovetop, and large oven. An open fireplace allows the roasting of foods of any kind, up to and including a full pig. The scullery has two marble basins. The flooring is of polished marble or tile. The pots and pans are made of hammered copper (16 Jug (Overview)), 8 Large Pitcher (Overview)).. This place can handle meals for up to 100 people. If you need a greater capacity, purchase this kitchen multiple times. Cooking/Baking checks made within this kitchen receive a +20 circumstance bonus.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 500,000 Ryo

The kitchens are accessible through a big side door in the Great Hall. They are a pungent space, always smelling of meats and cheeses and wines. They are not open to most in theory, but the chefs are often kind enough to let those who visit sneak in and have a pastry or a leg of lamb. The food there, while not horrible, errs on the side of quantity not quality. The room is nice, with high quality utensils and cutlery, and it is also decorated, but with intricate carvings in the stone walls, showing hunts and feasts and other scenes which might go reasonably well with a kitchen.

Barracks
Rank: "C"
Type: Main, Room, 1 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A room dedicated to hold multiple people in a single large room.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This open room contains up to 10 simple wood beds with mattresses. A small footlocker sits at the end of each bed for personal belongings. This component includes a privy, though it need not be attached or adjacent to the barracks itself. A barracks can hold 10 people (usually guards or soldiers). If you need a greater capacity, you can purchase this component multiple times. If you want a higher class of quarters for officers, purchase bedroom components instead.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 4,000 Ryo

If one decides not to go to the kitchen, they can instead walk down a hallway, one of cold, grey stone. The doors there are thick oak, and the first one leads to the barracks, where most of the occupants of the place stay. They have communal housing, similar to that of soldiers. Up to ten full-time occupants can live there. The beds are build up, just high enough to slide a trunk underneath, for the personal belongings of the occupants. There is, of course, a fireplace, but no servant feeds it, it is the duty of whoever is sleeping there to take care of their own warmth. Other than those features, the room is close to barren.

Armoury, Fancy
Rank: "B"
Type: Main, Room, 1 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A fancy armoury used to house equipment for 25 soldiers.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Murals and other artwork depicting the glories of war cover the walls of this armoury. As with the basic version, this area has sufficient armour and weapon racks to equip 25 soldiers (price does not include such equipment. 2 Main Weapons and 15 Slots of Secondary per Soldier). If you need a greater capacity, you can purchase this component multile times.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 20,000 Ryo

On the other side of the hall is an armoury, and well built one. It is decorated, once again with scenes of war and peace carved upon the walls. It has weapon racks, built out of stone, and thirty of them at that. Below each armor rack, there is a chest, a stout wooden one, which will hold the secondary equipments for the guards and other soldiers of Yukigakure. Most ninja are not assigned chests in here, although the Yukikage can have one if he desires one. The room is not used for particularly valuable things, such as the village scrolls, which go elsewhere, in the storage vaults.

Bedroom Suite, Luxury
Rank: "S"
Type: Main, Room, 2 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A suite of furniture for the bedroom.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: No expenses were spared in creating this space. The walk-in closet features rows of shelves for boots and shoes, plus handmade hangers for the finest in clothing. The walk-in garderobe allows two individuals to see to their privy needs in privacy and comfort. In the main room, there are two marble-topped bureaus filled with clothes. The four-poster bed is made of the finest wood hung with the wispiest of linens, and the mattress and the blankets are stuffed with feathers. The sheets are silk. A pair of stuffed chairs sits in one corner. In another, a finely polished and fully stocked writing desk waits to be used. The walls are adorned with fine art, often of people in positions of repose. Sometimes they feature dreamy scenes filled with pleasant nymphs or other fantastic or heavenly scenes.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 250,000 Ryo

The Yukikage’s room is past the armoury, and is more than a room, but a whole suite of rooms, with a nice bathroom made of cobbled stones, and actual running water, which requires the fire in the room to be burning to function. He has beareaus, where he keeps his clothes when he is not wearing them, and a huge bed that he can rest quite well in. He also has his writing desk, for composing letters, as he does not have a true office. He has adorned the walls with tapestries of his family and and ancestry, and of the history of the village, but the centerpiece, over the bed, is a tapestry of an fire of old, which destroyed this very castle once, leaving only the bones of the place it is now. Everything is very warm, very isolated, and a fire place allows servants to keep it warm enough at all hours.

 Storage, Luxury
Rank: "A"
Type: Main, Room, 1 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A room in which things are stored.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This marble-floored room includes well-built shelves and fine-quality cabinets. The area has about 3,000 cubic feet of usable storage space. If you need a greater capacity, you can purchase this component multiple times. You can turn a storage space into a vault.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 30,000 Ryo

Past that, there are stairs that lead down into the vaults. They are currently unlocked, but are guarded most of the time. They contain many of the village's valuables, such as the money and the scrolls. They are rarely accessed, except to deposit money or to loan out the said scrolls. The room itself is stone, with a big, bronze door protecting it. It has lots of neat shelves, and small boxes to keep the money in, some of which is stored in the form of gold for efficiency, but most of it is kept in banknotes.

Torture Chamber
Rank: "A"
Type: Main, Room, 1 Stronghold Space, Craftsman Room
Effect: A room in which torture is inflicted
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: All sorts of pain-inducing devices fill this dark chamber, including an iron maiden, a rack, thumbscrews, vises, and so on. Wall-mounted shackles allow the torturer to dangle victims from chains, and a lockable cage in the center can hold a single Medium-size prisoner between sessions. A fireplace allows heating of brands, while a barrel of water stands nearby for extinguishing flames.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 30,000 Ryo

On the same floor, but at the opposite side of the hall are the prisons. A currently unoccupied room, full of cages and devices for torture. While it is hoped that these implements will never see human flesh, it seems unlikely, given the hated position of the Snow Village in the eyes of most of the world. There is rarely a fire burning, but there are braziers and other things in case a fire is needed. The doors are lockable, and a small barrel stands, full of water in case of a fire. There is a small pile of sheets on the ground, in case somebody needs to spend the night in the prison room but not in a cell.

EnteR.
After leaving the old man and his other half at the house, TEvy strolled around the village examining houses, roads and the landscape of Yukigakure. When he was satisfied, he followed a path leading up to a hill where, according to a villager he'd asked, ninjas went to pick up missions. Since TEviO and the old man were busy training he figured it would be a good idea to complete the task given to him by the Takikage and find a way to make some money. He walked through the snow packed path for a while until he reached the hill where there stood a castle. He stood before the entrance, lit a joint and puffed the sweet marijuana smoke as he scanned around for guards. After finishing his joint and assuring whoever was on guard duty, if there was any, that he wasn't here to try anything funny he'd push the heavy iron door open and make his way inside.

The Kamyuja took slow, gentle steps carefully observing everything his eyes were capable of seeing. To avoid looking like an outcast, he stopped by the market earlier to change into a gear similar to something people of Snow wore. He wore a dark brown fur-collared leather and fur trenchcoat which was unbuttoned, revealing his big chest and well built abs. On his lower body he had on brown military pants and on his feet a pair of brown timberland boots. Wrapped around his neck was a silver chain with a metal-plate engraved with Waterfall's village symbol, his long jet black hair tied back in a loose ponytail with no bangs, exposing the X shaped scar on his cheek. Even though he had no plans of starting fights, his katana rested safely in its sheath hidden under his coat with the hilt protruding just above his waist. Being his first time inside the castle, he didn't know where to go and so asked the first person he came across. "Excuse me, where does one go to see or request a meeting with the Yukikage?"

[Claws of the Tundra]

Upon reaching the old castle of Yukigakure, TEvy would notice the lack of surveillance. At least from the outside there were no guards insight. So he'd manage clear access through the front door. Though once entered he'd find himself in a room will nobody in it. Certainly warmer than the outside weather which is probably it's only use, based on the lit fireplace that provided sufficient heat for anyone who needs it. Antique weapons, statues, and armour of different typed were nearly decorated on either side of the small room's walls. Each piece looking as if it hasn't moved a single centimeter in ages.

However any further exploration shall bring TEvy right to the next door garden that is located right outside the room straight ahead connected by an open archway. Despite the aged look of everything the garden itself was fresh and well taken care of. It is here that he'd find at least one person to answer his question.

This person in fact would be a formally dressed young man no older than 13, with a notepad that seemed very focused on whatever he was writing down.  His short orangish hair being the most colorful thing about him. This boy was sitting down on the edge of the unnamed goddess statue in the center of the garden hallway, with his coat set out neatly next to him.

The closer the foreigner got to him the longer that the distracted boy was oblivious of TEvy's presence. At least until the last minute where the boy was accidentally startled to see a pair of legs peeking over the top edge of his notepad. Nearly dropping it entirely as he reared back on the edge of one his seat almost falling entirely. From his position he had to look up pretty far to meet eyes with TEvy whom he had never met before.

The boy couldn't help himself from inspecting the man for a few seconds. His light green eyes, making quick work of capturing his appearance enough to be able to remember him at a distance. This boy obviously had a knack for observation and details. Still without hesitation the boy straightened himself out, and would speak on his behalf to answer TEvy. His voice keeping a formal and respectful tone.

"It has been a long time since, but anybody wishing to speak to the kage will need to head through the door behind me. They aren't expecting visitors today so they might be a little surprised, but I am sure nothing bad will happen." He stated clearly. Kindly waiting for TEvy to say anything or simple make do with the information.

From here on if TEvy indeed decided to move forward he would immediately begin to hear chatter going on within the next room in front of him. The voices inside being far too numerous to be able to pick out a clear choice. Although it sure didn't seem like any arguments were going on. If he was to open up the door to enter the Great Hall, he'd be passively greeted by a Yukigakure guard who would give him a slight glance. Nobody in particular seemed to pay him anymind. However there were a lot of people here.

At least twelve in total. Six of which were Anbu wearing different masks for their relative factions. The others were a mix of different types of people. At least two seemed out of the ordinary barbaric types, but honestly those seemed to fit in based on the viking-esque decor. It could be excusable to think that at least one of the two well built barbarians sitting at one of the many tables in this massive room were the kage. But with further investigation TEvy would soon notice the obvious candidate as soon as they entered the room from some declining stairs on the left near the throne, ith more Anbu by their side, and what looks to be a well dressed business woman.

The kage was a woman with skin as white as the snow she rules over. Her kage hat, loosely hanging behind her upper back, which was overshadowed by her incredibly long white hair that looks to reach the back of her knees. Her clothing was abstract. Something that certainly didn't look to be what an experienced kage would wear, but it was still tailored for battle. Most of her body was covered by an open kage robe anyway so the details were obscure. Regardless of any thing the kage stood at 5,5 and looked to be an youthful adult. Her face having an easily noticeable tribal like marking covering nearly all of the left side. Her eyes being miscolored as well. The right eye being white, and the other bring an azure blue.

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

His entrance through the iron door led him to an empty, warm room with weapons and armoury as decoration on either sides of the walls. Having seen no guards at the gate nor found anyone inside the room, TEvy thought that he might have wondered off into an old abandoned castle until he noticed fire burning from the fire place providing the room with heat. He only spent about a minute in the room warming his hands before proceeding to explore the building further. Following the passageway, the Kamyuja found himself in what looked to be some sort of garden. He was examining the fresh garden hoping to maybe spot a marijuana plantation when he took note of a formally dressed boy sitting on a statue, and made his inquiry.

The boy was kind enough to let TEvy know where to find the Yukikage. "Thank you." The Kamyuja said, approaching the door shown by the orange haired boy. As he got closer to the door, his ears counted multiple voices inside. He waited outside the door for a bit thinking of what he was going to say once was inside with the Kage. After a deep breath, he knocked twice on the door before opening it for entry. Looking around inside the room, he counted about twelve people, six of which he could tell were AnBu by the masks they had over their faces, and out of them all nobody seemed to pay him any mind except the guard who gave him a slight gaze. As he was observing those in the room to decide which one was the kage, more people walked in from the declining stairs.

Seeing more people walk into the room, his eyes fixated on the one dressed in business clothing as the others seemed to be guarding her. There was no mistaking it, that robe she had on wasn't no usually robe that you can find and buy at the store, it was specially designed for kages. Having found his target, TEvy faced her directly and stated her reason for coming to the place. "Greetings. I am TEvin Murtaugh, a shinobi of waterfall. I was tasked with finding allies for our village, therefore I came here."

[Claws of the Tundra]

The AnBu without close proximity to the kage, had already scouted the area around them in case there was something off. As a precaution they considered TEvy hostile, but their demeanor was merely vigilant at best. Of course this is a facade to keep the tension high to increase the chances of mistakes from the enemy. No matter how long, AnBu are always ready...

All that aside the conversation between the business woman and the kage, ended abruptly as soon as TEvy introduced himself. The business woman seemed a little agitated though, but the kage herself merely looked at TEvy, took his appearance for what it was. Hearing that he comes from another village made her curious as to why he'd end up here out of all places. Let alone him being in here in general. She always figured that the guards were too strict to trust foreigners.

Never the less the business woman, would speak up directly at the man. Her voice being precisely ckear, and firm just like someone with her profession would talk.

"Hello there sir you may call me Lana It's nice of you to stop by though I can't help but ask...what exactly would an alliance with Waterfall provide for Snow and vice versa? Tell me...what is it that your village could be looking to receive?

Only then perhaps...with the word of Lady Yukikage of course, Snow might be interested..." She'd ask without falter in her way of speech. The business woman being very clear and straightforward, and obviously wanting to know what the purpose of TEvin being sent to find assistance is.

So much so that the kage herself really wouldn't know what to say. Mainly just curious how TEvin was going to respond to that.

[Jotün Kamyuja]

/Enter

The large doors of the wintery palace creaked open surprisingly delicately by a pair of hands probably stronger then those of anyone in the room, connected to them was a hooded figure, wearing a thick red robe that covered most of his body, casting a shadow over his face, and extending all the way down to his ankle, it surely would have dragged along the ground if the boy were any shorter. The figure brushed off the snow that had accumulated and stuck to the soft fabric of his winter attire, making his way over to the missions board at a comfortable pace, his eyes trailed over the mass of cluttered papers in an instant, after only a few brief moments that weren't nearly enough time to read a decent sentance, he snatched a page from the board without bothering to give it a second look.

The boy swiftly turned his head towards the fireplace, his eyes would not be seen under the shelter of his hood, but anyone could tell they where scanning the room for something in particular, eventually, they settled on a short man, sitting at a small table that stood before the throne at the end of the room, it seemed it was made centuries ago, not much unlike the seated man, he was wearing a mask, but the boy could tell by his physique that he was no younger then any of the guards here.

The hooded stranger wasted no time in making his way towards him, mutterings could be heard amongst the guards, clearly uneasy from having a man in the castle who they could not identify, he seated himself across from the ANBU, uncovering his face, his expression was surprisingly ecstatic, he had long golden hair that had been tied into a pony tail and lively eyes of the same colour, the boy gently pressed his hand onto the cpunter, holding down the document which he proceded to slide towards the Masked ANBU member. "There have been whispers from the townsfolk...i hear a new Kage is to be Appointed" Said the boy, comfortably leaning back in his chair "I will be attending the event" The slip of paper presented to the ANBU would describe the following mission:

[Not Loki]

[The Hell is this?!]

On the other side of the Yukikage's door would be a commotion. It was the sounds of an upset Gunnr, rampaging through the tower. "Shut up and get out of my way! I want to see who they have found more worthy then me, to lead this village in my father's stead! Move aside!!" Gunnr forced her way pass the front desk, into the Yukikage's chambers. A 5'6 golden Blonde burst through it's doors. She wore a Set of Celestial Mithral Armor(Picture (1); Picture (2); Picture (3)). However, it looked more like leather from the way it was designed. The armor seemed to be a bit snug on Gunnr, especially around her sizable bust area. She adjusted her clothing a bit, shuffling her flesh melons so that they would be go comfortable, "Useless things." Gunnr mumbled to herself as scoffed at the visitor while making her way towards the Yukikage. Her Inactive Verglas Celica, shined off the light that was in the room, as she adjusted her clothing. The Celestial Mithral it was created from gave off a silvery glow. The Greater Sound, Moderate Cold Gem Energy Gems, and the Spirit amber were visible on the Right. The Greater Acid Energy, Moderate Fire Energy, and Nightmare Charm Gems on the left one. Around her neck she wore a Greater Lightning Energy Gem Necklace.

Of course Gunnr didn't go anywhere without her trusty Sir Floppy. The Pink Bunny was a "Deep Pocketed" Main Pack, so could use it to hold just about any she would need. However, oddly enough, she never really carrier more than a few items. At the moment it only held 12 Pistol Crossbow Magazines. The pink floppy eared bunny pack, mark the girl with an innocence, that she herself had no desire to portray. Just below the pack was her sheathed Awakened Angurvadal Greatwsord. This weapon Held Both a Skull of the Mighty, and Prescience Gem.

Under her cloths on her thigh she had several Runes(Elthric Affliction Curses, and Ritual Seals). Each one severed a specific purpose, Soul Guard, Sun's Renewal, and one to assist in summoning her shield. There were also Runes, protecting her from the effects of Fear, as well as protecting her for fierce cold, and savage heat. No one would be able to make out these seals, as the little skin that Gunnr did show, was clear and smooth. Her Runes were place beneath her leg armor. There was a Diamond seal in the middle of her forehead. This was the 100 Healing Hand Seal, that she was currently storing her chakra into bit by bit. She ruffled her hair as she she walked up to the Yukikage and stared her up and down.

"You? You are who they choose? Are you kidding me? What makes you more worthy than me? Explain!" She then looked over her shoulder at the Waterfall Ninja. She pointed her finger at stranger and then said, "And what the hell is a foreign Ninja doing in our village?! Explain!!!"

She was clearly upset by this turn of events. She agreed that her father needed to step down. He had become far to paranoid, and extreme. It was understandable, considering, what their family had been through. Madness, was something that effected even the most noble and worthy of warriors. He needed time to recover from the shock of resurrection, far more than he was given. Maybe that's why they passed over her, because they fear she may suffer from the same madness as her father. "Bullshit!" She said out loud at the thought of it. There was no one more worthy than her for this position. She was certain.

Response to Takeshi:

The AnBu within the room had eyes on him the moment they sensed his energy. If it weren't for him filing an assistant file sometime ago he would have been treated with a lot more caution. Anytime people start showing up to locations that are supposed to be temporarily off limits to the public the AnBu have to keep on their toes, especially if a kage of any type is present. Snow does not stand for harm being done to its people no matter who it is. If they don't have a target on their backs they aren't to be messed with. Of course there are exceptions to this ruling, but at the moment the only thing the AnBu were doing were securing the area and preparing to escort the kage in case of emergency or simple transport.

So...in terms of the hooded boy that entered the Great Hall, he would be greeted nearly like the foreigner was. With passing glances to tell any motives, but somewhat friendly. This was strictly business and so visitors were ill-advised. The four AnBu that were closest to Takeshi would position themselves in manners that allowed them to make the quickest moves if necessary. The two that weren't sitting were standing only ten meters away from the table's edge which would be in easy reach for these specialised ninja. Though once Takeshi unhooded his face, they would relax a little. The closest guard whom was sitting across from him, retrieved the mission order gracefully and quickly examined its details. This mission obviously was more or so an invitation, and so with that, the AnBu nodded at Takeshi and then signed his slip for confirmation with any available ink pen.

Once that was done she spoke to him calmly.

It won't be ready yet, but the inauguration should be happening sometime this month. Other preparations are being made for the kage's safety. If you see them today we advise you not to spread the word out to the public on who it is. Otherwise you could be endangering the kage. Is this understood?" The female Wolf AnBu guard would say in a smooth manner.

"Also sometime this week we shall deliver a headband to you to mark you as an assistant of Yukigakure. You don't have to wear it everywhere but when entering high security areas here we advise you to at least have it on you."

Response to Not Loki

It was only a matter of time until she found out. Out of all the things the Yukigakure council was worried about it was the reaction that one specific person might have about the recent events. Granted their decision was rushed, but in their position it was best that they made it regardless of the obvious. So now Yukigakure is going to have to hope that their opinion will lead to a wise decision. Because right now...things are about to get terribly tense.

The very moment a familiar voice was coming from the living quarters side of the Great Hall, all of the personnel except most likely three knew exactly who was coming. All the AnBu wouldn't bother with this one. In fact the two barbarian warlords that were minding their own business at a table near Takeshi seemed to start chuckling as if an inside joke was made. One in particular, now sitting up as if he was expecting something entertaining to happen. In the midst of all this the business woman near the terribly confused kage straightened herself out as she heard the little terror that is the previous kage's child approaching. By this point figuring out ties to Waterfall was the least of that woman's worries.

Kahimi could only wonder what the hell was going on? Especially as five AnBu moved in closer in a defensive manner by her side. So it was safe to say that as the kage she didn't feel too...safe. As far as she knows when the AnBu start acting funny things are going wrong. And Kahimi is far too inexperienced to be able to understand this. At least on a situational level. But alas the fiery blonde known as Gunnr appeared in a seemingly usual fashion. Unhappy.

The two warlords merely raised beer mugs in her presence as out of all the people here, they truly only respect Gunnr. So with that it is safe to say that Gunnr is on a whole different level. It was quick. The distance between her arrival and her being mere a few feet away from the kage herself. Kahimi could only stare at the armoured heroine in front of her. She could tell that this person was mad at her, but she just couldn't see why. At least she refused to thinks she deserves at the moment. With an uneased look Kahimi just kept her defensive posture as Gunnr demanded explanation. The unprepared kage only hesitated to say something before Gunnr snapped at her for something else. The AnBu at any moment were ready to try and restraint Gunnr, but they truly hope not to have to do so.

With this everything was terribly awkward for Kahimi. Only less than a week in and she is already being yeld out, and all she did was land the job...damn. Her face was that of a person who wasn't too sure why they are in trouble, but deep down was figuring out the reason. No words were said for a few seconds. The kage in fact, would look at the business woman for a little help whom fixed her glasses and prepared to act on the matter.

While holding her clipboard tightly to her chest Lana whom we sharply dressed business woman that assists with political decisions of Yukigakure, walked forward, semi confidently towards Gunnr. Her heels clicking firmly on the floor with each uncomfortable step.

"Miss Onta. Look we can understand your frustration, but we'd ask if you look at things in a different light. As overly qualified as you might be battle wise there is much more to being a kage than physically protecting the village. The council as well as everyone else has been hoping to see the return of your father for years.

However we all know that waiting can't last forever. Someone needed to take his place and although not the best candidate Lady Kahimi here does qualify for the position. She stepped up unasked and thus was given the opportunity. Not everyone may like the decision but like the rest of us we need to appreciate this chance to bring the Village of Snow it's glory back.

You are a well respected individual of Yukigakure, but your judgement isn't what the village needs. And unfortunately for legal reasons as well Miss Onta you are far too young to lead as kage." She'd explain in a sweet yet firmly realistic tone. Hoping that Gunnr will understand...

[Jotün Kamyuja]

When the woman finally spoke up the boy's eyes widened just slightly, this was a subtle enough response, but in truth he had to hold himself back not to jump out of his seat, when he saw the ANBU member he had expected an old man from the slim physique, but now that he was closer to her it was easy to notice that her form was certainly a lot more...shapely then an senile old man's would've been, he felt like this may have been a situation to apologize, but there had been no mention of her gender or her age, so he found it most conveniant to keep his thoughts in his head.

The boy would allow the ANBU to continue to speak, nodding his head slightly in response to her first inquiry "Fair enough" He replied with a calmness in his tone that matched her own, showing a bit of understanding as well, it was no surprise that they would be so cautious, especially because he himself was not one to take trust lightly, the villagers where best kept in the dark until the inauguration, attacks on the lives of people with power where often attempted, especially in a country as ruined as this.

The boy then nodded slowly again as the ANBU concluded her second and final statement "Understood, i'll try to keep that in mind, thank you for your time" He said with a smile before collecting the signed "mission" from the table, slipping it into one of his cloak's pockets as he lifted himself from his seat and turned to leave, but fate didn't seem to want to let him just yet, before he could take even a single step forwards, the doors of the snowy fortress burst open, a young, blonde figure storming in, he couldn't tell her exact age, but if he had to guess he'd say she was a few years younger then himself.

Like him, the girl was blonde, albeit having hair with a slightly brighter colouration then his own, and unlike his own neat, straight hair, hers was quite volumous, for some reason i reminded him of a lions mane. In truth, perhaps the only reason he noticed this girl was because she made such a scene, shoving ANBU and out of the way and charging in like she owned the place and everyone in it, the boy had seen many arrogant people in his life, but this took the cake. 

He concluded that she was probably the daughter of some sort of noble, or at the very least had a rich mommy and daddy, she dressed quite comfortably, and had several visible gems on her person that appeared to be quite valuable, this annoyed Jotün, he always disliked rich kids, they where arrogant and thought they owned the world, and of course, he was always a little jealous of them, having grown up in the cold streets of Yukigakure for a decent portion of his childhood. 

But there was never anything people like him could do, sons and daughters of nobles where like a destructive force of nature, when one happens by all a common man can do is grit his teeth and try to minimize the damage, besides, there was not much to gain by starting a quarrel with her, as much as he disliked such a sight she was not his problem, he looked down at his fist, seeing it was shaking, did he truly want that kind of life so badly? "Calm down...please don't snap, not here" He thought to himself, or rather, to Takeshi, the boy was quite mentally unstable, he had developed a mental deisorder that made him far more irritable the average human, as well as an alternate personality, that would only do more damage then even he was capable of doing.

He had planned to simply let the girl walked by, but she shoved even ANBU out of her way without mercy, almost knocking a few of them over, Jotün would be no exception, the boy gritted his teeth as the girl pushed him to the side. He stood perfectly still for a few good moments, staring placidly on the floor "...Fuck it..." he said with a scowl, his sword was standard equiment, but it was redied at his side in case something would go wrong, and honestly, it was clearly headed in that direction.

On his way to the Kage's quarters he was mostly unhindered, all the ANBU where focused on Gunnr,  nearing the office, he heard the girl demanding all sorts of explanations, treating the fact that she was not the ruler of the nation as some great blasphemy, after pushing his way through the shinobi staring at the ongoing ordeal, he was a little surprised to see that seated as the kage was none other then Kahimi herself, but right now, that was far from the most important thing on his mind, Jotün's reply would come before the Yukikage's assistant could even speak up, she would still get to answer Gunnr, Jotün would simply do it first.

"She is more worthy" Said the boy with a stern expression "Because six year olds are not fit to lead, no matter how capable they may believe themselves to be" his voice sounded mostly devoid of any anger, but there was a slight ill intent in his words.

[Not Loki]

[The F*&k are you?]

"The the Academy let the students out early today? Run home and do your homework boy. Warriors are talking." Gunnr said as she peered over her shoulder at the tiny man who choose to speak, out of turn. She was rather dismissive with him and his words, as she didn't know who he was, and he didn't seem at all powerful enough to concern herself with on any level. As she spoke to the man Her companion, and steed, Amara in her human form, found herself a sit next to the Warlords who had just lifted a cup to Gunnr as she had walked past. She looked to be no more than 20 years of age, as she patted the warlords on their backs and took up a cup for herself. "What's new boys?!" She said with a hardy laugh as she sat there to watch Gunnr fit. It was never a dull moment, with her around. Just as she got her cup, the Business Woman began to speak.

"Yikes... this isn't going to be good." Just as Amara said that, Gunnr's face contorted as if she had just been slapped in the face with an unpleasant smell. "Excuse me? Who told the wench she could speak to me?" As Gunnr said this Amara choked a bit on her drink, as she tried to hold back a laugh. Gunnr would then continue, "Is the chosen Kage, mute as well as unworthy? Do not speak to me about what judgments are and are not needed." As Gunnr said this her hair would begin to glow, and her eyes would begin to ignite in red. Those in the room would begin the already frigid temperature begin to drop, as the source radiated from Gunnr herself. "This is my 7th Life cycle. I have seen the rise and fall of more Kings and Kingdoms, then you have defecated in your lifetime!!! I have accomplished more in this young body's short life, then you ever will. Do not presume to estimate the experience and wisdom this soul holds."

Gunnr said as she pointed to herself. She was very prideful and with good reason. "I passed the Chunin Exams, and already meet the requirements to take the Jonin Exams. Can she say the same? Chunin and Jonin are leaders of ninja. So I can lead our warriors into battle, yet my judgement is rendered ineffectual as a Kage because of my age? Horseshit!!!! Age is nothing more than a pathetic construct used as an excuse for unimpressive adults, like yourself, to keep power from the worthy." Gunnr was reaching a fit of pique, as lightning began to arch off her body, and wind blew through the room and around her.

"The ability to lead is not defined by age. The Otokage, is just as young as I, and is a far more worthy Kage, than most I've seen. And do not presume, I find her unworthy simply because she lacks strength. Leadership takes more than raw power to be effective. But I see nothing from her that says she is someone worth following." Gunnr the pointed at the name Yukikage, and then turned her attention back towards the Business Woman, "But I did not come here to waste breath on you. DO NOT EVER... talk down to me again. In fact, do not speak to me again, less I send for you. Or you'll find yourself without a tongue. Do you understand?" Gunnr asked, not looking for an answer. She then turned her attention back to the "Yukikage" and the Anbu that surrounded her. "So, will you speak for yourself now? Or will one of those masked idiots, speak up for you next?" Gunnr looked at the Anbu, and and watched their defensive posture, "Calm down you cowards. No one is going attack your little snowflake. I'm not a traitor... I'm just annoyed." Gunnr said as her eyes widened as she stared down the Anbu that surround the Yukikage.

"OOOOOOOOOOO Shit." Is all Amara said as she hid herself behind her mug, and she ducked between the two warlords, just a bit. Gunnr wasn't one to attack her kinsmen without reason, but just in case, she wanted to make sure she was out of the splash zone.

The woman in a business suit accompanying the kage introduced herself as Lana and asked what Snow would benefit from an alliance with Waterfall. TEvy cleared his throat preparing to answer the woman's questions, and as he was doing so he was interrupted by a blonde girl who stormed in looking to be in a foul mood. His attention drifted from the kage and onto the newcomer, curious as to why she was enraged. The Kamyuja's brown eyes studied the girl, observing her movement, attire and weaponry. By appearance he estimated her to be in her teens, and guessed that maybe her rage was fuelled by the changes her body was undergoing. He only watched and listened as the angry girl walked up to the Yukikage and asked questions that gave a the Kamyuja an idea of what she was angry about.

He only smiled when the girl turned with a pointed finger demanding an explanation for why a Taki ninja was in Yukigakure. For a minute he wondered if he should answer the question then decided to remain silent when the business woman opened her mouth to speak. 'So this one's miss Onta' he though to himself, listening to the conversation before him. From what his ears were hearing this miss Onta girl was mad because somebody else made kage? Another new member, a blonde male, who walked in shortly after miss Onta shared his thoughts, and it seemed he supported the kage whom the angry miss was against. Seeing AnBu gather around the Kage in a defensive manner TEvy took it that the angry blonde was dangerous, and wondered if remaining in the castle was a good idea.

With the glow of her hair the room temperature dropped as the angry bird performed some type of jutsu. He would have shivered in coldness with what he was wearing if he didn't have Kamyuja genes coursing through his veins. "Is this a bad time? I can always come again later." He finally spoke, addressing the Kage, after being silent for a while.

[Jotün Kamyuja]

Jotün raised an eyebrow at her statement when she said he must've been recently out of the Academy, it could have been that she assumed his strength, or simply due to the fact he was young, why exactly he did not know, but he was clearly ticked by it, his eyebrow twitching, in fact it was quite ironic this was the subject he chose, the boy had actually been expelled from the Academy at a younger age then most where let in, so in a way she was technically correct. Meanwhile, his more composed half would speak up in his head "Idiot, get a hold of yourself! Remember there are ANBU here, we both know you can't control your power very well...if you lose it here you could be treated by the village as hostile" But there was no reaction to his Alter speaking to him, his gaze was steady on the girl as she spoke.

But he didn't expect what came next, her mass of hair began to glow, And the temperature of the room dropped, fierce winds and strands of lightning began to fill the room, but the boy stood unfased, if there was something he did not fear it was the elements, his past spent enduring the harsh colds of the streets of Yukigakure had made him far more resistant then most, even for one of his race, a gust of wind taht wasn't even a proper attack wouldn't even be felt.

No, the only feeling he felt right now was rage, he didn't know how strong Kahimi was, but he did know she wanted nothing but the good of the country, and all he had witnissed this runt do was charge into the palace and make a seen, he would have none of it, he subconsciously began to growl, showing the fangs that came from being an Inuzuka, it was in that moment that something snapped inside him, his golden eyes flickering to a bright, violent red, shimering as if they where living flames, his fury had manefested into power without the boy realizing any of it "Fine...just ignore me like you always do, but if you do anything stupid i'm taking control"

The boy continued to growl as the girl went on to proclaim herself superior to the rest of the room, at this point he appeared to be more beast then man, but he had had enough of this Bullshit "Oh...God shut UP!!" his tone was scornful "YOUR the Onta brat??!! Your the daughter of that...bastard...And still you have the nerve to call her unworthy??! She has just barely been appointed, and has already done everything in her power to prepare for a better future, SHE has done more in a span of days then your father has done during years of his reign, but what have you done? complained of trivial matters, i didn't get to be kage, Boo fucking hoo, you don't always get what you want in life, deal with it! I know that must be hard for you to do, having grown up with a rich daddy and all." He scoffed, staring disdainfully at the girl.

"And i don't know what all this 7th life crap is but frankly it sounds like bullshit, you didn't get what you want and now your throwing a fit like a spoiled 5 year old who's parents didn't buy her the dress she wanted, Seven lives, and still acts like a child, HAH! You my ignorant dear...have no right to call Kahimi or her lovely assistant unworthy."

Not Loki Jotün Kamyuja 🔥Bootysmith🍑

Words, and tempers were building up faster than necessary within this room that no longer feels spacious, and comfortable. It's hard to tell whether this situation with Gunnr, is simply a spout of frustration or just something more. Perspective being a key role in how others are handling everything else. It's ridiculous to think that a moment ago, she was talking with Lana peacefully about preparations for the inaguration. Now everything that could possibly going wrong thus far without leading to violence seems to be happening. All in a short span of ten minutes. It has only been a few minutes until voices were reaching a volume that shouldn't be used.

The two warlords however found this normal. Where they come from this is the average conversation to them. They merely greeted Amara with smiles and laughter as they watched the former Yukikage's daughter stir up interesting banter. The best of it being setting that glorified secretary Lana straight. To that, they both couldn't help themselves from nonchalantly taking a good drink from their mugs. All the ruckus from Gunnr's energy messing with the weather sounded like music to them. The AnBu merely kept to their positions, unsure on what to expect any more.

What many would call childish yelling, unfortunately did hold some value to the situation. Kahimi although slightly frightened could understand Gunnr's view on well...her. At least the rushed decision that has her where she is right now. No matter what the reason for Gunnr has for starting a scene in a fit of annoyance, Kahimi wasn't going to fault her for it. Cause now that she took the time to think on it, she could agree for the most part. But...there is a problem here that Kahimi can't sit well with...

Lana and the AnBu by now have stepped down. Each guard that was formed up around the Yukikage decided that it was best to not treat Gunnr with anymore hostility, though they wouldn't back off entirely. There was still a matter of having other people in the room, and after all the climate changes and lightning the AnBu were sure that more attention is being brewed up within the village on what's going on here. So the question was, how is this crazy situation going to end? Kahimi by now had a decision to make. As a woman with pride for her country she knows how things work, and if she was in the shoes of anyone else, she'd want an explanation. After all this exactly the best start towards a new age, and she should have expected this sort of backlash even sooner than she does already. Unfortunately right when she was going to respond as asked, a familer although much more aggressive voice broke through the momentary silence.

Kahimi was embarrassed at first. She never even knew Takeshi was here, and based on how he was acting he didn't take too kindly to how Gunnr was presenting herself as well as treating others. As much as she could understand his view as well, now probably wasn't the best time. In fact...there never was to begin with. Kahimi for the record appreciated the confidence and kind words about her, but sadly as expected once Takeshi if that even was him talking...finished his rant. An awkward silence would suck out the comfort within the room. Lana, the AnBu, and especially the warlords although admiring his gusto, for sure thought the same thing simutaneously.

This kid has a deathwish

It was obvious, but if she could make it in time out of all the voices to chime Kahimi's would finally be next.

Her voice wasn't shy, frightened, or angered...simply calm and blunt. Just how Takeshi would remember it before she was even placed in this position. If able to...her words would be stated as followed:

"Look!...Now isn't the time for people to be shouting their heads off. I don't care what the reason is anymore, this is the exact reason why I decided to do something. Acting like this is showing all the other villages how vulnerable we truly are.

Right now the Village of Snow is pathetic and worthless, and I won't stand for people acting like this is okay. Those geezers that appointed me were as desperate as can be when I spoke to them. But like it or not I AM the kage now, which means I have a job to do. I can't do that job listening to people bicker about pointless shit."

Then while glancing at Gunnr, she'd begin to address her like she planned before. "Now then, as for you I am not ashamed to admit that I am unqualified. Everyone here knows it.

But honestly I don't care. I won't settle to be looked over for x and y reasons, because whether you believe it or you don't I know that I actually am fit for this job. Someone like you isn't suited for it because you are overqualified for this job. Some thing like a Sannin would fit you far better. But even then you wouldn't have the backing of the village itself. How do I know? Because you aren't a person of the people. Gunnr those people out there need a leader that they can relate to. And they can only do that if they are greeted with a face they used to survive out in that cold with.

They know me for me...and because of that I believe that the pride that the village lost can be picked up again. If that can happen it doesn't matter how much of a leader I am worth right now, because as long as those villagers believe in the place they sleep and breath in. They WILL follow. If you don't believe me then I would be glad to see you put this hat on and go out there and prove those people respect and known you more than just the powerful girl that was an lineage to her father, and will follow you regardless of any thing else.

Because if not? Then you are far more mistaken than you may think... 7 life cycles doesn't mean shit if you can't make an impact in the one you are currently alive in. You have multiple chances to build greatness. I don't. Which is all the more reason to take this seriously, become stronger, and become someone the village can look up to. But even then I will need everyone's help to fix the mess we didn't ask for as the people of Yukigakure. Otherwise we may as well accept our fate as a village that got overshadowed from its own weakness. And last time I checked the people of Snow aren't weak...

Is that clear? Or need I say more? By this point she was waiting for anyone to make a comment. Her face as straight as its ever been.

[Not Loki]

[It Speaks.]

Gunnr looked over her shoulder at the mouthy piss ant, and scoffed a bit, "Your ignorance is so staggering, it's not worth the energy needed to address it." Gunnr said to the man, having not learned his name nor cared to. She turned her attention back over towards the new Yukikage, as she finally began to speak. "So she can speak. How wonderful." Gunnr said as Kahimi began her speech. Gunnr listened to what she had to say, with a nonchalant look on her face. She didn't seemed particularly moved by what she had to say. As the speech carried on, Gunnr folded her arm, and let her head tilt to the side.

The things that Kahimi said about Gunnr in a sense wasn't untrue. Gunnr just let out a sigh as she brought up several things that were a bit of a sour point for Gunnr. After Kahimi had finished Gunnr, looked her in the eyes and a smile smirk stretched across her face. "You finally speak for yourself, and that's what you have to say?..." Gunnr paused for a moment, and then shrugged her shoulders, "Good... at least you seem to have some determination. I can not say the people of this village see me as one of them. I have tried to interact with them, but for the most part I am feared. Seen as nothing more then a Monster here for their protection. Which is fine by me, it never mattered much." At least it didn't matter when her father was in charge, because with him there, at least she knew, that she'd be treated with some sort of dignity, and not just as some savage beast to be brought out when the village was in need of muscle.

"Maybe, that's why the old fools choose you. They'd rather not have a monster, they could not control running this village. If that's the case, then fine... so be it. However..." Gunnr looked back at Takeshi for a moment and then looked back at Kahimi, "My father, was a good Kage up until his final years. He did and gave everything to this village. He lost his wife, killed by foreign ninja he thought a friend. He even lost his own life. He was resurrected, and instead of allowing him time to recover from the shock of the death, and everything that was lost, he was forced back into the position of Yukikage, because no one else could handle the job. His Sanity was lost because of it. All for this damn village. And what does he get in return? People like this asshole, who belittle his legacy and the person he wished to see succeed him? Couldn't even get a notice that they were choosing a New Kage until after the fact? Is that honorable to you? Is that worthy?" Gunnr then turned her attention over towards Lana again and then looked back to Kahimi.

"If that secretary of yours was worth a damn, she'd already know the impact I have already left on this world, and would have informed you the former Yukikage was not my father by blood. Everything I have, everything I am, and everything I own, it was earned, and fought for. You were GIVEN the position of Yukikage, and I want to make sure you understand, that I will hound you, every step of the way, to make sure that you earn the position that was handed to you. If you are unworthy, I will make sure that you become worthy, of following in my father's foot steps, and remain so until the day you step down or die." Gunnr stood there her arms still folded as she stared down Kahimi. The woman seemed calm and self assured, though that didn't quite match, with her trying to send the Wench to talk to her.

Perhaps she thought that Gunnr was easily satiated, perhaps she just needed time to gather her thoughts and sent the Wench out as taste chum, to be devoured by the hungry shark that was Gunnr. If so, it was a win win situation for her. If the secretary could calm Gunnr, then that would be that. If not, then it still bought her time to gather herself. It was a cunning gambit, one that Gunnr could respect. Though there was always the possibility that Gunnr was over thinking things, and giving this Yukikage more credit than she deserved. Regardless she'd believe that was the case, for the sake of the village, she'd hoped that was the case.

However, this did bring her attention back to something else. She turned around and faced Takeshi, "Insult me all you will, but you insulted my father. You seem to be a friend of the Yukikage, you being so quick to jump to her defense... for that reason alone, I will not kill you... But I am not above handling this in the spirit of the old ways. If you still have energy left in your body to speak ill of me and my family. Save it... and use it to swing your weapon in battle... pup. I'll take you for a walk anytime you are ready." As Gunnr said this, the wind and lightning that was swirling around her had already began to subside. She had said her peace to the Yukikage, and let her know where she stood.

She did not see her as worthy for the position, but she was going to be there for better or worse for the foreseeable future. That being the case, she was going to do everything in her power to make sure that became worthy of the position she now held. However, while Gunnr would assist her rule, it did not mean she had the respect of the Tiny Titan... not yet. It was a obligatory partnership at best at the moment, in Gunnr's eyes. She was going to make sure that this one lived up to the expectations that Gunnr had set for herself, where she in that position.

Words were exchanged between the yukigakure shinobi, some a bit harsh and offensive. Leaving these people to solve their problems in private sounded like a good idea but what he wanted to do needed the Yukikage's approval, so he couldn't leave just yet. He simply took a few steps back to lean against the wall opposite the kage, his hands slightly pushed back his trenchcoat, exposing the hilt of the katana hidden beneath the coat, as they gently snug inside the pockets of his pants. His eyelids shut off vision from his eyes as he listened to the conversation with a grin on his face as if what he was hearing were sweet melodies. The few minutes he had spent in the room with the people in it, TEvy was able study the tone of their voices and was able to to tell who was talking even with his eyes shut off.

Most words coming out the blonde male's mouth were so funny that he couldn't help but giggle as the guy spoke. His eyes opened instantly when an unfamiliar voices rang through his ears. The once silent kage finally decided to bless everyone with her words. TEvy couldn't help but involuntarily yawn listening to the long speech the Yukikage gave. Standing in one position doing nothing was too tiring, he wanted to walk up to the table and take a sit but doing so without invitation to sit would be disrespectful, and that's not how he wished to portray himself to these snow people. "So these are Snow shinobi Interesting..." the tone of his voice was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear even though he was speaking to himself.

[Jotün Kamyuja]

There was an awkward silence in the room as Jotün finished his rant, but no discomfort was felt by the boy, in fact, he hadn't even noticed the change, he was far too angered, the 2nd stage of chaos still clear in his eyes, Takeshi wasn't worried yet, the only truly aggressive person in the room was Jotün after all, it seemed the warriors of Snow where accustomed to seeing these kinds of events unfold, but they also seemed to think Jotün had some sort of death wish, this was ironically half true, the boy had no particular wish to die, but nor was he afraid to, if dying was neccessary to stay true to his beliefs, or his honor, then that was exactly what he would do.

The moment the blonde haired girl completed her reply, Jotün nearly went back to scolding her, but then Kahimi spoke...and she was correct, bickering here wouldn't get them anywhere, their job was to help the village, not squabble amongst themselves, it appeared the girl's name was Gunnr, a name strange in other countries, but not in the land of snow, and she was suited to be a Sannin...perhaps he had misjudged her, the boy would not say a word, but his restored calm demeanor was made apparent as his eyes returned to their bright and golden tone.

For a moment he spaced out, looking down at his hands as if to make sure they where the same ones he used to open the castle doors, when he was enraged it felt like he was a different person entirely, and found himself in a sort of surprise that Jotün was still the person he was, but there wasn't much that he, or anyone else could do about it, it was clinical, he suffered from the intermittent explosive dissorder, and was brought to the point of yelling over things considered only midly irritating by most others.

Gunnr was speaking by the time the boy's attention was finally brought back to his surroundings, saying something abou how her father's wife was killed, how he suffered from it, and how she would make Kahimi worthy of her position, the boy did not react, he simply crossed his arms and stared placidly, once the girl had paused, he would begin to speak "I know his wife was killed, everyone here does, and trust me, if i was old enough to do anything about it, i would've demanded a steed from the castle that i might hunt the guilty whoresons down, but frankly? If what you say is true then your father was a fool, he should have known better then to trust anyone, no matter how much he enjoyed their company, he should have known that in the seat of greatest power, one is never truly safe, if he was truly as "shocked" as you say, then perhaps he was not qualified" The boy said this bluntly without even a hint of annoyance this time.

But he did take one last long look around the room before finally turning around to leave, he was not needed here, nothing productive would come from his presence, and naturally he preffered not to waste his time, but then Gunnr spoke again, and his lips curled into a slight grin, making it clear in his expression that he cared not for making threats "Name your time, name your place" His tone was proud and full of confidence, he didn't hesitate for even half a second after the girl finished speaking, he was far too reckless for his own good, but he knew that if he wasn't, his life would be so boring.

[Not Loki]

[Oi, this guy.]

"It was not the shock of betrayal, boy. It was the shock of death and Resurrection. Have you ever been brought back from death? Perhaps I'll let you experience it. He died, no doubt he joined mother in the afterlife, and what should have been a moment of bliss and rest, was taken from him. He was called back to this world, because the village couldn't find anyone of worth to handle it's affairs. And offered him no time to gather his thoughts or wits. I did everything in my power to stop him from losing himself outright. But the madness slowly crept in over the next few years." Contrary to what some would like to believe, coming back from the dead was not so simple of a thing, even if one with the powers bring people back from the dead, were present.

That was especially the case with Ace, as he was dead for quite sometime before he was eventually brought back. There was no telling what kind of blissful paradise her was stripped from, and order to come back to this arid wasteland, of ungrateful whelps. Gunnr listen to Takeshi talk about trusting foreign ninja. And Gunnr began to chuckle. She nodded her head in agreement.

"I agree wholeheartedly, my father was always far to kind. Ironic we agree on this, yet you seem to support her allowing a foreign Ninja into not only our village, but our tower as well. IF he has something to ask the Yukikage, he could've taken his ass to the embassy. Whether it be in disarray or not, that is where strangers go to meet the Kage. Do you not agree?" Gunnr said with smile. As she turned the stranger that was in their village. Regardless of what she thought the man was already here there was nothing more to be done about it. The Yukikage would have to do well to make sure he forgot the location of this place.

When Takeshi asked her to name the time and place she held her index and middle finger up to her chin as if she was in some deep thought. She smiled, "Here... and now. How's that work for you? We can take it outside." Gunnr looked over her shoulder at Kahimi, and then said, "I'll try to keep him in one piece. No promises." Gunnr folded her arms and looked at Takeshi, "You game or not... little man?"

[Jotün Kamyuja]

Jotün paused as the girl concluded her first point, would being resurrected truly be that bad? "I hadn't thought about that...i have thought about what death must be like, but never have i considered how it must feel to once again return to this plane after my soul has passed on to the next, i suppose i can not judge him for that" He paused for a few moments, as if pondering on the subject before shaking his head dismissively "But i also know that a soul must be willing to return to this plane from death...if that is the case, and he returned for the sake of his people, then i must commend him for his efforts, unfortunately...effort alone is not always enough, it does not change that he still failed the country" The boy said bluntly, he was harsh with himself and harsh with others, but when an entire country was involved, there was room for nothing but perfection.

The blonde then raised an eyebrow at the girls second claim "Wait...what?" The boy had lost himself to such a degree upon his arrival that he hadn't even noticed there was a foreign ninja, his eyes quickly scanned the room, it was a simple thing to find out who the outsider was, his eyes settled on the young man with long black hair, his attire made it painfully obvious he wasn't from Snow, Gunnr was correct, if a foreigner sought audience with the Kage, the Embassy was the place for it, Jotün furrowed his brows at the Kage "You know i'd say i was dissapointed in you...but i didn't really expect anything from you to begin with, i suppose i just got my hopes up when you started off well" Despite Jotün's harshness, he knew it was only one flaw, albeit a very, very irresponsible one, there truly wasn't anything to be done about it now, he could only hope for the sake of the village that nothing of this nature would repeat itself.

His gaze turned back to Gunnr, his smile brightening at her response "Perfect, i wouldn't have it any other way, but i have no wish to blow the castle off the mountain, i suggest we do this at a safe distance from it" He paused, but soon continued "Or i suppose we could destroy this place and rebuild somewhere else, since another country now knows it's exact location..." He was joking of course, but he still couldn't believe Kahimi had let a potential spy into the village, but then Gunnr continued with another of her arrogant remarks, this time about leaving Jotün in pieces "Careful girl, you humans break so easily, hold back against me and you won't have to worry about returning to this plane of existance, there won't be anything left for them to resurrect" He may have been weaker, and this may have been obvious to all but him, but if this had been a battle of who was more arrogant, he would've been an even match.

[Claws of the Tundra]

After her unintentional speech looked to have calmed the situation down enough for voices to reach a tolerable volume. Yet this did not ensure that the bitterness and words were going to be any less cold.  Gunnr's following response mixed in with an agitated Takeshi's called for some tough skin. Especially from Takeshi's end out of all things. It's not like those two were being generous with each other either, but they sure weren't afraid to add in extra bits at any different direction. Lana and Kahimi were especially not spared with these circumstances stacked up. And when it came to the foreign ninja deal, Kahimi was getting blamed far too many times.

In utter annoyance, the Yukikage would grumble as her eyes looked over both Gunnr and then Takeshi. Slowly getting sick of listening to the both of them. Whether they cared or not, Kahimi was a quiet individual. If they wanted her words then they ought to speak on something she can actually care for listening to. It's just good to know Takeshi is going to be all the people in her life that cast her off...

"Tch...typical as always..." She'd scoff in utter hatred. Her voice although low had a clear growl of irritation within it. Her expression now changed to general disinterest. Her personal history now building up a bad attitude the more she was reminded of it from this storm of a conversation.

With her opinions settled the Yukikage simply kept her mind elsewhere. Moving past Lana and the AnBu back towards the office, she didn't need to say anything for them to understand why she felt like going up thrre, which with By this point it wasn't until the two confronting people decided on taking to battle with each other that Lana spoke.

"If that is the case then I suppose other matters can finally resume." She'd say condecendingly. "Tevin if you were serious about what you brought to our attention then I'd like for you to follow me upstairs to the kage's office. That way we can handle business how it's meant to be handled. Otherwise do take your leave. This is no place to walk in uninvited." She'd state sternly. Waiting near the door that leads up to the stairs in case Tevin in fact was going to follow her. The AnBu by this point now making a quick dispersion in order to check over the area around them in case any thing odd is lurking about...
