[4] Kazekage Tower

[Umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh]

~enter

Causally taking xer time the siren kept pace with Jintai as they headed to the tower. The succubus planned to take sometime away from the village to collect numerous herbs from various locations. Xer freshly enslaved prize would be an great treat to enjoy during the travel. "mortal I wish to accompany Jintai to collect various herbs for my elixir materials" Peisinoe said to the assistant xer voice nice and soft yet sharp and demanding. "for you allowing my tasks to be completed I suppose fate will allow me to donate some to the village" the enchantress mentioned while lazily glancing at xer red painted fingernails.

[jintai]

With that Jintai headed for the exit. "And with that I'll be taking my leave."  
He would say exiting and heading for the gates.

[Exit]

[Umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh]

After waiting for an while the siren shrugged while xhe gently brushed xer midnight black hair. The succubus scooted up close to Jintai gently blowing upon the young male's check. "shall we continue with the tasks up ahead beloved mortal" Peisinoe angelically said to him while sexually licking xer lips. Staying beside xer tool, xhe walked beside him as they headed to the gates.

Isamu strolled into the tower taking in the hustle and bustle of the city's administrative center. He had come unarmed today but he wore his desert khaki pants, a black t-shirt, and a desert camouflage coat. Isamu approached the receptionists desk and handed over a sealed enveloppe containing a written report on the intelligence he had gathered while out in the desert. He hadn't discovered anything new but even discrediting rumors had its value. Isamu smiled and offered up an apology, "There wasn't much going on out there. Things are pretty quiet. Do I have any assignments waiting?" Isamu wasn't averse to taking a break after taking so much time out of the village but he felt his duty keenly and wasn't about to shy away from it.

[Anri of the Grass]

[Messenger Bird Enters]

With a powerful kick and the squeals of the damned, the Kusakage's messenger emu entered the Kazekage's tower. The Emu had a letter addressed to the Kazekage about the status of the new Kusakage. The letter reads as followed:



Dear Lord Kazekage

I write you today informing you that the Title of Kusakage has been passed over to me. Any former Kage you may have had interactions with is no longer around. I would like to meet you personally to find out where our villages stand. I hope to hear back from you soon.

Anri Hyuuga~
 The emu would wait to get a letter reply from the Kazekage, or until they decided to use a messenger animal of their own.

[Enter with RP thread]

The desert storm that was raging outside was bothersome enough as Amira closed the door behind herself as she entered the tower. It was calming to see such a normally bustling place so active. At least the village wasn’t dead. Amira’s Khaki BDU combat fatigues, combat boots, and butt bag made up her uniform. Her jackets’ sleeves were rolled up, and her Peacekeeper patch and title were upon her left shoulder. As she climbed the stairs to the second floor, she waved at the clerk…and apparently Isamu who had likewise returned fairly recently. “Oh Naho, I’m going to be in my office…Isamu I expect you and Claire to be there as soon as possible. Amira said with a smile, pointing up the stairs to her office as she didn’t break stride, climbing up the stairs to her office. Opening the door and sitting down at her desk, Amira suddenly found herself stacked with more work.

“Ugh…looks like paperwork piled up.” She said at the stack as she slowly read through some of the first finance requests, signing them as she went along. It wasn’t until a fellow in a falcon mask entered the room, leaving a scroll on her desk that she realized that something was going on. Quickly opening the letter; which looked to have the seal of the Kusakage, Amira was expecting something from Aimi. Alas, that was not what she found as she opened the letter with one of her kunai knives and pulled the piece of paper from the envelope. Reading through the letter careful, Amira couldn’t help but sigh. “Well there goes another one…and Aimi was so promising too.” Amira said resting her head on her palm as she found it kind of annoying how often smaller nations switched Kage. She had been the Kage for over two years now and the Kusakage position has already been held by four different individuals.

Amira’s left hand swiftly reached into her desk drawer as she produced a pen and a blank scroll to write upon. She methodically and slowly wrote out a response for the Kusakage as she figured their recently forged alliance would still stand as it was. Just because the Kage position had changed didn’t mean anything more than the person she would be working with was different. Her letter read as follows:

Dear Lord Kusakage,

It has come to my attention that Aimi Kaguya is no longer in the position of Kusakage, and I appreciate the kind gesture of alerting us to this fact. This world can be dangerous at times, so we understand the situation that you now sit in. As far as I am concerned, we are still allies, that being said, I expect there to be another meeting between us as I have two members currently in the grass village, one of which who was being healed by Aimi Kaguya. I expect their safe return to Sunagakure as soon as Minamoto Kaguya is healed, otherwise, there will be consequences. As I’m sure you can understand, this demands root from deep concern for my villagers, and hold no animosity towards your person or your village. With that, I wish you the best, and certainly you are invited to visit me here in Sunagakure if you so choose,

Warmest Regards,
~Lady Amira Nara, Kazekage of Sunagakure~

Sealing the letter in an envelope with the seal of both the Nara clan and Sunagakure, Amira placed it on her desk as a messenger cat quickly climbed up onto her desk. “Take this to Kusagakure no sato please” She said putting the scroll into the cat’s leather scroll tube as she sent it off with a pet of the head. Amira had her apprehensions about the grass village; however that would have to wait for her meeting with Isamu and Claire.

[Christoff]

Amira's voice caused Isamu's head to snap to the side as she passed. Registering the Kazekage's request Isamu turned back to the receptionist and smiled, "I guess that answers my question. I'm sure I'll be back around soon." With that he strolled around the side of the desk and proceeded to Amira's office. As he entered Isamu noticed the messenger cat waiting and Amira writing her letter. He stepped to the side and waited against the wall for Amira to finish her work.

[She of the Mighty Bow-Gun]

Into the tower Claire entered, her pistol bows and rifle bow on person, armed to the teeth with bolts, an exploding tip notched in both bows. Cloak hood down and her shoes replaced with soft cloth, she trudged into the tower, hands in pocket, scowl set. "I need to see th-- whatever." She just walked past the assistant with a wave, her wrist canting back and forth, apparently already needed. Great.

Whomever that one person had been? The girl with the screaming problems? Claire had lost her trail, it went cold as the desert night what with how long it had been from the moment the train was lain till the point she was informed. Too little. Too late. Up to the Kage door she strode, twisting the handle and stepping in, headband on her left shoulder, "Yes, Lady Kage?" She groaned in the least ecstatic way possible.She could hunt a demon till the cows came home but this was her first failed hunt... never again.

"Before anything, the mark got away. I will eliminate her if I see her then I will handle her without any fuss." It was then she noticed they weren't alone! "Mhn." She grunts with a nod. Who the hell was he?

[Tetsu]

As both Isamu and Claire entered her office, Amira would gesture to the Sadojin guard that always stood resolute inside her office to close the door and to wait outside. “I’m glad you’re both here, coincidentally I’ve been hoping to speak with the both of you.” She said in a relaxed fashion as she laced her fingers before her face, resting her elbows upon her desk. She listened to Claire’s report with a degree of interest; however Hitomi was not at the top of her to do list as it was. She wasn’t too disappointed to hear Claire’s report; however she noticed how daunted Claire appeared to be over the hunt. Amira knew her as a great huntress, the best in the land of wind. Knowing this, Amira was sure that her ego had been hurt. Smiling gently, she quietly spoke, “Do not worry about that Vandaline, I’m positive that you will be able to capture your quarry soon enough whenever Hitomi resurfaces; which surely she would do…since she was bat shit crazy.” Amira couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of Hitomi attempting to be stealthy as she quickly reached into her desk and produced a few piece of parchment and a pen.

“Though Hitomi will be hunted down later, that’s not why I requested that you both join me here today.” Amira said softly as she quickly went rummaging through one of her low drawers for a scroll. Pulling it out from under her desk, she placed it on her desk and let the title seal at the front become visible to the pair. The document read [the Siren’s Song Program], which Amira had been doing her research on for quite some time. “I’m sure you both are Familiar with Peisinoe Arai,” Amira said trying not to lower the temperature at the rancid thought of the lude siren. Amira scanned the faces of the pair as she knew that Claire like herself had no love for the siren. “Recently while going through Doimed’s archives, I found a few documents that refer to this Siren’s Song Program multiple times,” Amira said picking the document off her desk and quickly tossing it with precise accuracy to Claire. “As the Kazekage, I’m authorizing an investigation on the project, and I’ve selected you two to be assigned to the Peacekeepers taskforce under myself.” Amira said as she was sure Claire would have read the document by now.

[The Document would read as follows]

-Dr. Ambrose D. Kline Observation Report-

Date: August 5th, 109th year of the second era (Current Era, Chronologically 5 years ago if possible since time line is not super important…just a date.)

The Augmentations program code named “Siren’s Song” is progressing marvelously. Our current funding as well as the collection of research, undead, and other components has benefited our efforts towards creating the perfect seductress much more viable. I believe that with my research, along with the medical genius of Dr. Sara Stenson, we will be able to produce the first of many of these super soldiers that are designed to infiltrate through methods of seduction. This is the grand future for the shinobi of the sand!

*showing some aging*
-10 Academy Children currently listed in the program-
1. -Cypher Braille-
2. -Cypher Abyssal-
3. -Cypher Latin-
4. Piesinoe Arai
5. -Cypher Latin-
6. -Cypher Braille-
7. Makoto Ohgami
8. -Cypher Celstial-
9. Hina Shu
10. -Cypher Draconic-

The following individuals are being augmented with pheromones and mentally being trained in the art of seduction in hopes of creating obedient Sirens who will surely benefit the village. Reports will be issued monthly to the ANBU division in order to keep fluency and to further keep the Kazekage informed of the progress of his project.

-Last section is written in Abyssal…which if anyone can read *looks at Claire* you may attempt to-
-Also there is a braille Codex cypher included at the bottom as well –

-End Report-

“Isamu, Claire, we have a duty to eliminate every threat that faces our village, and this one is no laughing matter.” Amira said sighing with the weight of their mission as Amira continued to glance between the pair. “We will have to neutralize everything this project has created, including Peisinoe Arai, in order to bring order back to our village.” She said, thinking about the world balance, and how good always had to combat evil. “But before that, we have to have viable proof as to what this project was up to, or even what it is still up to.” Amira said as she now let the business fall to the mission she had prepared for them there on her desk. The paper that she had pulled out earlier was in fact a mission form that had been personally issued by the Kazekage. “Sadly that had proven difficult as both the Libraries archives and the tower’s records don’t have all but a few documents that had been sent directly to Doimed much like that one there.” She said pointing to the scroll that was probably still in Claire’s hands; however she would logically gesture towards wherever the scroll ended up being placed.

“All of the records were kept in the old ANBU Headquarters before the civil war; which means that they are buried under a pile of rubble right now.” Amira said as he quickly pulled out a small map of the village she had stapled to the back of the mission slip. There was a small red X where the ANBU headquarters had been located. “We are going to have to do a little digging to find more evidence as to what we are up against, so we will have to work our way through the ruins of the old headquarters and acquire anything in regards to this “Siren’s song program.” Amira said as she felt a chill run down her back. “I have a sinking suspicion that there were not simply scientist working for this program, but also necromancers; which I believe is linked to some of these creature sightings in the land of wind, as well as the increased amount of monster nests forming.” Amira said with confidence as she stood up from her desk and handed the form to Isamu so that he and Claire could look it over.

“I don’t know how their linked, but I have a strong feeling that if we don’t do something soon and hunt down not only these Sirens, but their makers, then we will be in a hell of a lot of hurt in the days to come.” Amira said letting her words sink in as she prepared herself answer any questions and allowing her compatriots time to absorb and respond to what she was saying.

[She of the Mighty Bow-Gun]

Claire was ready to be chastised by the girl she had torn into a few months back about toying with her ninja and the dangers of the field. Back then she'd been a little...naive and worse yet she had seen the woman down in a demon nest now long after! Or maybe she had taken her down there... yes, that was it. Revealing to the Kage that the sand beneath their desert was the perfect host to the most unruly of creatures in all forms. Demons. But that didn't seem too prevalent an issue, not when Amira had bigger fish to fry and the meeting was coming to a spearhead. She filled her in rather thoroughly, much more so than she would have expected, shocked into silence when she was handed the Scroll.

Down the list of names she scrolled, picking out some and leaving behind others, the ones in demonic languages were teachings she had yet to learn in her young years as a hunter. She was still young but there was much to learn. Later though. The name she pointed out stuck out like a sore thumb and when she played back the stupid aimless look on that poor kids face she had following after her... it made a lot of sense. Whatever sickness she'd felt at that sight doubled at the thought of it and by the time she was rolling the scroll up she had quite the green face and twisted insides. Succubi? Really? Disgusting...

Her eyes raised to Amira afterwards and she sort of just... worked her jaw, looking for the right words to begin this journey, "PeaceKeepers? Demons? Already inside the village posing as ninja? I..." This had been her charge, her ground zero and she let that harlot dance right out under her nose. Son of a BITCH. "Yeah. Yes. Let's do this thing, Peacekeeping or whatever that was you said, I'm down. I just need a few things honestly so I can get into gear for this mission." She'd fallen a bit short on some things but mostly she wanted a newer set of tracking gear and maybe a short flexible arsenal seeing how this mission was meant to be non-lethal and well.. she was a hunter killer, not a hunter gatherer, "All I really need to know is: Do we have a time frame, can I get new gear provided and...what are THOSE!" She clearly pointed to the new BDU's but left it at that.

Siren's Song though.. what did that mean and if this was once a sanctioned event by the Sand and it caught wind elsewhere that they'd been experimenting on people? Sand could be facing a serious war on it's hands. Reaching into her cloak she fingered a bolt with it's razor fletching, twisting it gently in her fingers. Piesinoe Arai, the succu-bitch. She was going to be sucking her last shaft when Claire put this one through her skull.

[Tetsu]

(OOC: Sorry Christoff bud, but the 2 Day ICC is up, and this plot needs to get rolling, so I’ll have to go on without you T-T)

“good I’m glad you’re in agreeance with me Vandaline,” Amira said nodding her head as she would look over at Isamu’s silence, the thought of him not being able to perform the mission crossed her mind only for a brief moment as she couldn’t have hesitation when investigating. “Isamu, I understand that you’re feeling conflicted, so I’ll instead ask you to perform a simple mission on another matter that I’ve been looking into, please see the clerk out front for the details.” She said motioning for her friend to be guided out to the desk by the other Sadojin guard who would reenter only briefly to guild his brethren away to the front desk to receive his assignment.

Having the doors close behind him, Amira would quickly address Claire’s valid concerns. “First and foremost our time frame will be late tonight, I want you to meet me at the old ANBU headquarters at 2300 Hours, you’re a master huntress after all, and I expect you’ll have no trouble finding it.” Amira said with confidence as she slowly turned and walked over to her desk where she had a set of BDU’s set out. “These are the new standard uniforms for our shinobi,” Amira said taking the folded up cloths and walking them over to Claire as she had yet to be issued hers. “They are to be worn on any official village issued mission, just for uniformity and what not.” Amira said with a shrug of her shoulders as Claire’s uniform would match Amira’s in the Khaki desert color, and even on the unit patches, the peacekeeper Scorpion Insignia tagged on the left shoulder.

“You have…it looks like three hours to get your gear together," Amira said looking at her clock to show that it was indeed about 2000 Hours (or 8:00 if you will). "The Armory has a fund of 500,000 Ryo Set aside for issuing gear, so if you would like to request some stuff knock yourself out, the armory is there for a reason after all.” Amira said nodding to Claire as she would have plenty of time to compose herself as well as acquire gear; which could come from the armory. “With that if there are no further questions, you are dismissed Claire Vandaline, I’ll see you at 2300 Hours.” Amira would say giving her fellow hunter a thumbs up as she would gesture with her arm for them to leave her office as Amira unzipped her BDU Jacket so that her grey tee shirt was exposed. She was going to pack lightly for this assignment, as it was indeed basically reconnaissance, there wasn’t going to be any open battle, and lots of gear could be hindering in tight quarters. Making her way to the armory, she would prepare herself to gear up as well for the mission as she wanted everything to go smoothly. If Claire decided to visit the Armory as well, Amira would happily accompany her.

[The Armory *_*]

Amira never really got use to the massive armory; which was like the combination of a locker room, and quartermasters post as there was a place behind a desk where the quartermaster, Vince, would happily write down the allocation of gear as well as the funds required. Amira wasn’t here for the gear though quite yet as she went to her personal locker first. The metallic locker would read “Nara Amira” Across the front as she opened it up to reveal her gear all hung neatly and folded in an organized space. Her tactical vest, waist bag, leg harness holster, assorted Kunai knives, assortment of tags, grenades, bo shuriken, some marbles, and her lock picking kit. She nodded as she noted her gear before walking over to the quartermaster. “Vince, I’m going to need one of the pairs of manicals, 5 tracers, 1 of the tracking devices, 4 extra Kunai, a pair of binoculars, and 2 wireless radios” Amira said, knowing he already had all these things in the vault ready to go. “Just bring them back in one piece…please…” The quartermaster said as he quickly assembled the gear and handed it back to the Kazekage in a small box, neatly organized. Carrying her box back over to her locker, Amira prepared to put on her gear for the mission.

First, she zipped up her jacket rolling up her sleeves and tightening the ties upon her combat boots as she wrapped the long laces around the boot itself too further support the knot as she got ready to put her gear together. First she loaded up her Darker Khaki tactical vest, loading 2 of the Kunai knives into the back slot (hilt facing left hand for CQC). Her front webbing pouches would be loaded with (from right to left) 1 frag grenade, 1 smoke grenade, 1/2 slot of explosive tags and ½ slot marbles, 1 slot of 10 ice, 10 fire, 10 lightning, 20 sealing, and 30 Locking tags. She had two small pouches of Bo Shuriken (30) along the left side of her torso just beside the other gear. Fastening her vest’s clasps, she then began to load her butt pack with 1 smoke grenade, 1 sting grenade, 2 Kunai Knives, 1 slot of Bo Shuriken, the Tracking device, Tracers, and the maniacal. Putting the butt pack around her waist so that it fit snuggly and clasped onto the back of her vest. Now comfortable, she fastened her leg harness holster; which held 6 knife holsters on the clips, letting her put 6 kunai knives in the holster over her BDU Khaki pants right pant leg as she fastened the harness to her leg with the light weight clip. Now suited up, she looked like she was ready for a mission. Quickly putting the wireless radio into her ear, it would have enough range to keep her in touch with Claire as she would (if she entered the armory) quickly offer her the radio to match her own.

“here, take this wireless radio, I’ll see you at 2300 Hours.” Amira said calmly with a curt nod as she made her exit from the armory, fully equip for the mission. Now making her exit, she would be meeting Claire in about two hours, so it was time to get to work.

[Exit, may the mission begin]

[Christoff]

The news from Isamu's Kazekage concerned him deeply. Threats from beyond the Village's walls were one thing but this was something internal. The places he once considered safe were no longer. He would have to stop his practice of wandering about the village unarmed. Thoughts of warning his family popped into his head but were quickly squashed. He couldn't betray the Kazekage's trust and endanger the operation. Besides his family was more capable of defending themselves than the average citizen of Sunagakure. Throughout the briefing Isamu listened intently and with concern. Amira seemed to sense this and offered him a different assignment. "With all due respect my lady I am up to this task. Please allow me to be of assistance." With her consent he left the tower to gather his equipment.

[Exit]

[She of the Mighty Bow-Gun]

Taken in full by the prospect of what was being offered, when Claire spotted the BDU's and lifted up the shirt to see the peacekeepers logo something strange swam through her, a sensation. Was this just this just going to be a sort of pseudo-Venator ordeal? She was already in this village for a reason to be an exterminator but perhaps she could lend a hand, her expertise and still be considered an advocate to her cause? "2300 it is, Lady Kage." She spouted back, taking up the uniform in hand and bundling it up. Amira had taken such a drastic change over the last her months that she had been away, Claire had been that is to say, something of an official air about her that just put pressure on the people.

This was a Kage.

With a salute of sorts Claire chuckled to her self and headed out of the office, clapping the other man on the back, "I am sure if you want to tag along Amira will let you, she isn't a hard ass."

----Armory.

Down in the armory distribution Claire went to the equipment manager, a slip of the things she would need presented while she was handed her own locker number and a few other items to note. When did Suna get so..... organized?

[jimmypiffer]

[Enter]

Eiji entered the Kazekage's tower hoping to have a break from the desert that he lives in. It's not too smart for people of his kind to go outside in this extreme weather, so he wanted to make things fast. He approached the desk and asked the first person he saw if he could leave the village. "Yo, can I...like, take a walk or something man? This desert shit isn't good for my skin." Eiji said as he rubbed his arms, afraid of what more sand inside his watery skin would be like. The thought made his water membrane crawl as if it were skin. " If you couldn't tell I'm a Hozuki, this desert crap is a no go for us and you're making me wait like a peasant? What kind of service is this?" He said impatiently as if he had been waiting hours, when it was merely seconds. "You know what...? Where's the Kage, I want to talk to them directly." Eiji said as he stood there demanding this poor person, as if it were one of his butlers at home.

[The Blind Beast]

The clerk rapped her fingers upon her desk as some pretty boy walked up to her desk and began to talk nonsense. "Hozuki in our village, that's...interesting..." The clerk said looking in her desk for a file or something to fiddle with as he needed something to open a letter that had been sent by the scouts early this morning from the embassy. She opened the correspondence, reading it with little interest as she quickly scribbled down something on a note pad. "Hey kid, you want to speak the lady Kazekage? Well first you have to show me you want it." She handed him the page as she ripped it from her note book. The first portion was something much like a notice of leave, giving him permisison to leave the village gates. The top portion held a name RYOSUKE, who was currently residing at the Sunagakure embassy. The clerk explained this simply as she shook her head and then went back to ignoring the fellow. What a bothersome day, she thought as she quickly took the scroll she had been writing earlier and sent it to the communications division to be delivered to the kazekage to signal her return to the village.

[You have permission to leave the village, please make your way to the embassy as well for your mission!]

Eiji took the paper and read it to himself, the name of who he was looking for was Ryosuke. It seemed he had to find them to find the Lady Kazekage. "Thanks Hun~" Eiji hummed as he took his leave from the tower and out of the village as fast as he could move his watery legs.

Inzei arrived at the tower in her plain black kimono. It was her typical day in and day out kimono, the one she would wear when she went to work for the diplomacy and working of the village. Her long black hair was up in the bun with a white floral gem piece holding it together, in her left hand a white paper umbrella was closed up after her walk in the sun, while tucked into the sash around her kimono sat one of her tessen fans. On her feet a pair of sandals which allowed her to walk over the sand with more ease.

Her knowledge informed her that a new kage was elected to grass not long ago and she wanted to know about the diplomacy situation between the pair. Due to her status within the village as a diplomatic expert, Inzei was allowed to walk past the majority security procedures and when it came to it she owuld knock on the kagé office door requsting entry.

Finally back, Amira thought to herself as she adjusted her blue Judogi and darker blue hakama, tightening her black sash that held her katana and wakazashi upon her left hip. She held her Tanto was stashed inside back of the sash and equipment belt as she was clearly a Nidan Judoka. Her warm brown hair was tied back in a ponytail as her cold gaze seemed to lighten up as she made her way towards her office, waving to the receptionist as she made her way towards her office. She wore a pair of leather boots upon her legs with some Dark blue Gi pants underneath as she made her way towards her door. She wasn’t really expecting any visitors today; however there seemed to be someone knocking on her office door as if she had been expecting someone.

Tapping the woman’s left shoulder, she would reach her hand around to the door so that she could open it. “Excuse me, can I help you?” She asked casually as she would slide past the woman into her office. The woman seemed well dressed enough, and really had the appearance of what Amira would classify as a real lady. In comparison, Amira looked almost like a man, wearing a man’s hakama and her body being riddled with scars. The light would shine in through the large rounded window at the back by her desk as she would make her way towards her desk as she would lean against the right hand edge, gesturing to a chair. “Can I offer you a seat?” She would offer, wondering what the young woman had to tell her that warranted her coming right to her door without an appointment. It wasn’t that Amira was upset, but rather that she did believe that rules were in place for a reason. Alas, she would let it slide this time as she would offer to have the woman speak with her.

Inzei would turn and give her head a polite bow towards the lady Kazekage as she addressed Inzei at the door. With an invite into the kagé's office she would await the kagé to enter and when she took a seat Inzei would do the same. "Hello Lady Amira, I am Inzeilla Velura but you can call me Inzei if you wish." Although she still had her fathers name, she didn't like to introduce herself as the daughter of a feudal lord... she wanted to make her own name in the land.

"I work as a diplomat in the village, along side the B.I.N.G.O and being a genin. Forgive me for not making an appointment I just wanted to ask your opinion on the situation in Grass and Mist with their new Kage and see if any contact had been made." Inzei sat in the chair with one foot tucked neatly behind the other, her umbrella leaning against the side and her tessen fan closed across her lap held in both hands.

[Tetsu]

"I see, so you came to dicuss the new leaders of the Hidden Mist and the Hidden Grass" Amira said calmly as she leaned back on her desk, not quite sure how to feel. She had visited the Kusakage Aimi Kaguya no more than maybe a few months ago. What had happened? Amira was a little shocked, but the changing of power for such a disorganized village was not all that surprising to be quite honest. "So the power in Kirigakure and Kusagakure have shifted? I had not been informed." Amira stated, letting Valura-San understand that she had indeed not been contacted. "I have yet to receive any notice from either from the Mist, but the grass had sent us a letter sometime back," Amira state, reaching into her desk so that she could produce the letter that the Kusakage, Yuri Hyuuga had sent them. It was simple and to the point, but it was indeed declarative of the new Kusakage. "This shift in leadership is a bit concerning...do you have any information for me Valura-San? OR did you simply come to ask my opinion?" Amira asked, laughing for a moment before recovering herself.

Resting her left hand on the hilt of her Katana, she couldn't help but sigh. "This is indeed troubling, I wouldn't have expected there to be so much instability in these two villages, especially Kirigakure," Amira grumbled, scratching her chin as she thought about what it was she wanted to do. She had never had any contact with the Hidden Mist in all four years of her time as the Kazekage. What to do? Where they hostile, perhaps in distress? Who could say. She wouldn't jump to any conclusions, especially with the way the leaf seemed to still be a lingering foe.

"I don't really think that messing with Kusa or Kiri is a good idea right now to be quite honest Velura-San, to be quite frank they are probably in turmoil." Amira said in a stately tone as she walked over to her desk again reaching inside and pulling out some reports from Iwagakure. "Since you seem so interested in foreign affairs though, let me share this little piece with you," Amira said adjusting her sabers before sitting on her desk and laying out the data next to her. "Iwagakure has made an alliance with the leaf, the Alliance of Summer, it seems that they have betrayed my trust," Amira said reaching into the file and pulling out a picture of the most recent Tsuchikage. "Godric Hyuuga was the Tsuchikage that betrayed us, but I know little of his successor, other than that he is of the Uchiha bloodline." Amira would state extending the Velura the picture as she would continue. "You wouldn't know anything about this fellow would you?" She asked as she would give the stately appearance of a Kage, giving an unintended glare to the very sweet young lady. It was in her best interest to be honest with the Kage as she awaited her response.
