The Kage Summit. [Event]

[Deleted]

The Amekage would listen to the back and forth of everyone and it was starting to seem like everything was wrapping up. People were deciding who would be going to Alleves to discuss things and to figure out what needed to be done to act accordingly. At the end of the day nothing was being done at the moment so it was nothing in particular that needed to be accomplished. However the Yukikage began to spout his leaf nonsense once more which in all honesty, Taliyah was already sick and tired of. Konoha had came in twice already. The first time around they were shut out from even representing themselves and now a new Hokage was reinstated and the Yukikage still despised them. I guess she was new to all of this and didn't understand hatred that ran deep within the villages but at this point it was just childish.

"We get it, you hate the Leaf and they did your village wrong. It's not like we have forgotten in the last 5 minutes that you mentioned it." Taliyah said not being able to hold her tongue. "However, unless I'm mistaken we are all trying to settle this portal ordeal and the rest of the summit so we can return back to our villages. So unless you are contributing to the discussion, I'd really appreciate if we stopped with all these childish comments."

Taliyah looked back at Emi, hoping that she didn't step out of line. She looked back to face everyone else again "Alright well I don't think there are anything further to discuss since the portals will not be made until the emissaries have talked to the council at this Hallow. Once we have approval from the council to use their place as a Hub then we can continue discussing how we regulate and ground rules." She noted to wards her companion. "As my ally mentioned earlier, there are many different security measures that we can do to keep our villages safe. It will be up to the villages to measure their security and their guard. But like I said until we hear word from the council there really is nothing more to discuss is there?"

[Kinzoku]

Another person calling him a child, and this time it was another Kage. Apparently other villages did not teach common courtesy.

"Contribute to the conversation? I thought this was a meeting for Kage to voice their opinions on a portal, which is what I've done. Meanwhile, you seem to side track the conversation with comments about 'typical Konoha' mannerisms. But tell me Ace, how many Konoha residents have you encountered? Because I'm sure that number does not hold a candle to the amount of people residing there. Pshhh... I'm called a child but it seems in all your years of wisdom, you have yet to learn manners or human decency."

Kinzoku was done with the pleasantries and nice guy routine. If he was going to sit there and be verbally attacked for no reason, then he was not going to allow it to go unaddressed. Allowing another Kage to attempt to spit on his title and belittle him was a sign of weakness in Kinzoku's eyes and he was not going to let it slide. As the Amekage spoke, Kinzoku would laugh as she seemed to use the Yukikage's words against him. At least she wasn't as dreadful as the two that address him prior.

[An'ei Sekitan]

A grin cracked in the darkness, white teeth and elongated canines gleaming in the black, visible for all to see with the piercing red of the Sharingan watching. Houkou was enjoying this, could feel the very bloodlust in the room, and he drank it in. Was this the influence of the blade seeping in or the influence of the demon within his body? Another grin from behind him, enormous and monsterous, huge white fangs like curved swords in the darkness, glowing blue eyes piercing the veil to watch the others as well. Sekizen, the huge Worg, now standing but invisible save for the eyes, enormous eyes that peered from the darkness to Houkou’s left, with the powerful body behind him. It was Sekizen that would speak, the deep growling baritone of his voice booming, yet low, like a distant rumble.

“Yukikage,” he would say in plain common for all to hear, “Is this how the proud Yukigakure no Sato would allow others to behave toward it? Does your voice not carry weight as it did long before? My my, how you’ve fallen since the True Yukikage.” A low and malicious laugh would sound from the darkness, icy blue eyes watching all the others while Houkou grinned, sensing the battle that would soon come if properly nourished. Allowing Sekizen to speak meant he could deny responsibility, since Sekizen was his own master. Houkou would place his hand on Sekizen’s huge head, stroking underneath the Worg’s ear, chuckling to himself quite vilely.

“Now now, Sekizen,” Houkou would say, mirth clearly in his voice at this very scenario, “We would not want the Hokage to murder the Yukikage again, now would we? Right here on our own lawn no less. A tragedy, especially with the Amekage joining in. Let them figure it out.” Houkou continued to grin from the darkness, his words clear enough for all to hear. The blood was pumping now, the adrenaline was on the verge of sparking, it just needed a little tinder and Houkou was hoping that it would soon provide itself as battle rang out. He was bound by duty not to attack unless ordered, at least not physically. So he would wait in his shadows for now, joy-filled at this arising conflict that could bring him to bliss. Do not let this opportunity go to waste, Yukikage. Perhaps a little…help?

His eyes still upon the Yukikage, he would focus a little genjutsu through them, something small and insignificant that Loki might not detect. Whispers [DC 23 vs Ace 1d20 + Will] would begin to flood the mind of Ace Debutler, the voice deep, the words harsh and believable. Is this the extent of Yuki now? Is this all you have to offer? Weak. The whispers would cut off abruptly then, Houkou finally blinking, while Sekizen had moved into position to block the eyesight of Loki from his right. Now all he had to do was wait and see how effective it would be. Would the Yukikage accept the words or would he resist them. It was a good test to see how powerful he had become as well.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

((OOC: Edited post due to a mistake))

The female nodded as the sage told who should go with him. She could not help but to smile a little when he told that she and the Otokage were level-headed wise people. Then, the Yukikage decided to throw a rock in the glass ceiling.
'Kami. I thought he would be smarter than this' thought Marii while she let out a sigh in annoyance.

Things did not improve when the Hokage and the Amekage told him to quiet down. A part of her wanted to join in since she did not like the way he spoke. But the young woman knew it would only make things worse.
Moments later, the Kusagakure Chuunin started to talk. What he said would probably not make the situation any better.

Suddenly, the loud sound of glass being shattered could be heard. Shards of glass felt down from the two lamps above the Raikage. Her internal anger combined with her bloodlimit had made the bulbs explode.
The female looked at the others. She stood up before she turned towards the Kusakage.

"I'm sorry about that. Tends to happen if I bottle things up. Kusakage-sama, I will pay for that" told the fake greenette with an apologetic smile.
She then turned her head towards the other kages. The young woman cleared her throat before she spoke.

"I suggest we call it a truce for now. We need to start acting like kages instead of bickering like a group of teenage girls. No offense to any of the teenagers who are present. It's just a manner of speech" clarified the Marii in a firm no-nonsense voice.

[Kinzoku]

Here we go again. Everyone wanted Kinzoku to be quiet unless he had something to offer but no one was addressing the out bursts of one who was supposed to be an adult. But this time, Kinzoku actually listened to Houkou's cry for attention, as his words actually did some good while also making Kinzoku feel uncomfortable enough to fiddle and rub on his rings.

The Hokage killing the Yukikage, again? Kinzoku was no stranger to surviving death so that was not the part that surprised him, it was the information itself. He knew how much weight a Kage's actions carried and if Gosei had killed this man, then the Yukikage's words carried a bit of weight.

Putting himself in Ace's shoes, he would be bothered having to deal with something that resembled his attacker. Shoot. He was getting annoyed just being by Houkou and they haven't even fought.. yet. But Kinzoku was not so blinded by rage and disgust that he would blame all of Kusa, or even the Kusakage herself. He was more mature than that, and it would show as when the Raikage finished speaking, Kinzoku would start.

"Ace, if you were wrongfully attacked by a previous Hokage, I apologize on the behalf of Konoha. But you should know there are more people in Konoha than just that one person. Their actions do not speak for the feelings of Konoha as an entirety. If you would allow it, I would like to speak to you privately when all of this is done so that we can make amends."

A public apology and a show of maturity. He did not have to accept the offer but if the lawful good in Ace could not at least respect that, coming from 'a little child', then Kinzoku would consider him a lost cause. As before he did not understand, but now with more information, it was clear that the root of the Yukikage's hate was justified. He just needed to direct it towards the culprit, not the entire village where the culprit used to reside.

[DJ Loki]

Ace Successfully Resisted The Genjutsu!!!!! Proceed as normal. Results

[Dealer's Button]

Sometimes Ace's pride and personal grudges did cloud his judgements as the rain kage responded. Responding to the Amekage's comment, the Hachidaime Yukikage bit his tongue before glancing away. "fools Konoha is here just to gather information on us" he thought not trusting the Hokage at all. Then the little hokage once again tried to make him look bad. The card enchanter silently gazed at the boy allowing him to say his words. "the feelings of Konoha for me to consider" he repeated in an stoic manner as his light blue eyes glared upon the hated enemy. "yet you have the pugnacious entitlement to preach about human decency to me" he responded bitterly as his ungloved left hand tapped upon the wooden surface of the table before he slowly began to take off his right white glove. The old relic was about to say more to put the young kage in his place yet an voice spoke from the darkness. The tone sounded familier yet so distant. It mentioned the one true Yukikage known as Sekitan. His mind flashed to the times he was an brave warrior instead of dealing with politics. He lamented on the thrill of victory which he brought for his beloved village. Thinking of this his anger rushed through his vessels.

The Hachidiame Yukikage's attention snapped forward desiring to know how such an creature knew of an legend. So many memories flooded his mind yet there was always Gosei there irritating him. Here he was once again being presented to an crowed being basked as an fool by yet again another Konoha kage. The red leg master glared daggers at Kinzoku as he heard an faint whisper. They were meaningful yet they held no overwhelming effect on his will. Still it raised many question why did this creature knew about Yukigakure's history. He let out an sigh driving his anger back inside his core a few seconds before the lights broke from some unseen force. Then Marii spoke a few words regarding the bickering instead of focusing on the issue at hand.

However, what the Hokage said next made Ace blink a couple of times. "did an hokage just admitted shame" Ace thought as Kinzoku spoke out with an apology on behalf of his vllage. Taking note of this, the Hachidaime Yukikage stood up and slowly approached the new Hokage. "an truce I remember that same motion I made all so long ago yet only chained us to you" he stoicly mentioned as he stood infront of the other kage. "now how can I believe the words from an village which held my flesh as ransom for my beloved home to pay" he continued to speak in the same cold manner as he stood infront of Kinzoku."truth is I cannot believe the words of an Hokage yet you illustrated shame something Gosei could never do" he said to the young hokage. With an irritated sigh, the card enchanter put his hands into his pockets. "Boy you have my attention we shall talk after this yet be weary generations of hatred of my kin towards Konoha cannot be vanquished with empty words" Ace mentioned his usual polite tone despite the bitterness which lingered in it.

Afterwards he turned his attention to the rest of the kages and such. "so those who are meeting with Alleve's Hollow counsil is decided" he asked making sure there was nothing missed for their plan.

[~Emi~]

Off topic

T

he entire meeting had been so far off from what he had expected from the kages that he really didn't know what to do. He had even been able to see some dark sides from one of the kages he had been respecting for so long he could remember, which only strengthened his recent wake up call.

In this situation its best to be the better person, name-calling and insults never does anything but ruin others respect for the individual. So be firm, yet avoid offensive language.

Emi whispered to the Amekage. She was going a little far and he knew that it was the inexperience leading the way, but as the situation was unnecessary tense it wouldn't require much to ruin the nations long term possibilities with the other villages.

Another detail that the kages will need to decide before having the diplomats handle their job, is what an acceptable price would be and how much. Because the price will not be low, most likely it will be higher than what can be found on the countryside.

When he had given the Amekage the final whispers Emi leaned back into his normal standing position. As it appeared like it was only the speeches that were aggressive, Emi got a little on edge as the raikage suddenly had some lights burst. It resulted in his claws to be enter a readied position while still being lowered, which he then relaxed as he breathed out. The entire situation made him question if he'd just visit the kages after the meeting to have some proper talk with them, hopefully with the amekage at his side.

[Vara]

Bree was fairly nervous. The commotions hadn’t ceased, and having the Hokage and Yukikage in one room was a recipe for trouble. Thankfully, the trouble didn’t spill over to a physical conflict, but the tension in the room had been going for long enough.

At the sound of broken bulbs, Bree quickly turned to see what happened, but was relieved when the Raikage explained it as something harmless.

That was as good a bell as one could get.

“Yes, I think that’s the extent of it,” she said, agreeing with the Raikage and Amekage. “This is where we stand now, and we won’t know more about things like price and organization until we’ve spoken with Alleve’s Hallow.”

Bree stood up, grabbing her sword and casting light upon it to make up for the light lost by the broken bulbs. She would then strap the shining sword to her back and backed a couple steps away from the table.

“Mediator Naejeon, thank you for your compliments of character. I will be glad to accompany you to the court of Alleve’s Hallow, and I will quickly make preparations for that trip. Unless anyone among us has hidden what they know about that location, am I right to think that we’ve learned and discussed all we can here?”

If that was indeed all that remained of the meeting, Bree approached the Amekage to ask for the return of her journal.

[Cadoc]

Yoko maintained her state of vigilance throughout the proceedings, electing to remain silent. However, it seemed that this state of neutrality could not be maintained forever, as the waterfall bodyguard or rather a proxy representative for their kage, decided to make some sort of propose aimed towards her. The whole affair seemed rather rash and ill-conceived, as for a start she had no idea who this creäture spoke for, was it for the kage, or was it simply the ravings of a lying bodyguard? Not that it mattered as she had no intention of forming alliances. Thus, she politely declined the offer only a few seconds after the wire-creature made it, knowing full well that there could be negative repercussions. “No thank you.”

This, of course, allowed her to return to her state of silent observation, which was not broken despite grass ninja's provocation and the ongoing feud between the Leaf and Snow Villages. As part of this process, the youth continued to keep up her harmless disposition while using her blue gem eye to detect the usage of the various jutsu in the room. Anyway, despite her limited interaction with the group and their uncanny ability to waffle on about superfluous details they had finally agreed on how to go ahead. They were to dispatch a party to Alleve’s Hallow to meet with the council. It could have gone without saying but Yoko still agreed with the proposal of an investigation as she was the one to initially propose it—or at the very least she had been one of the first to affirm her position on the matter. Thus, she felt that there was nothing further to add and that a simple “Mist agrees with the sage’s proposal” was enough to reaffirm her stance on the idea.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

The female blinked when the boy came with his apology. What he just did was something many adults would not do by their own free will. She let out a sigh of relief when the Yukikage accepted his apology.
'Thank Kami-sama that went well' thought Marii as she looked at the humanoid shark. He did not reacted well to the exploding lightbulbs.

She gave him an apologetic look. But the young woman had to shield her eyes a little when the girl pulled out the sword.'How did she get her hands on THAT!?' pondered the Raikage.
"Mediator Naejeon, thank you for your compliments of character. I will be glad to accompany you to the court of Alleve’s Hallow, and I will quickly make preparations for that trip. Unless anyone among us has hidden what they know about that location, am I right to think that we’ve learned and discussed all we can here?" inquired Bree.

"Mist agrees with the sage's proposal" stated the Mizukage. "Given it's a safe place, so does Kumogakure" told the female. Her voice was neutral yet firm at the same time.
Her eyes glanced at the Amekage for a moment. She needed to speak with her once this meeting was over.

Yuri sighed as it seemed that everything was beginning to come to an end, both here and back at the hunt. Yuri looked over that The old sage, who nodded at her, and then stood up. "I believe with this we can conclude this Summit. Unless anyone has anymore pressing matters to bring up, you all are free to leave. I will be in the land of Rivers for the foreseeable future, I would ask that the Kusa, Oto, and Yuki kages meet me there so that we can make our journey to the land of moon. Please, discuss among yourselves when a good time to leave will be for you. I will send letters to the 3 of you of my location. After, negotiations have completed I will send thee terms and conditions of the deal, sparing no details, to each one of the Kage present here." After the old man had finished he bowed the the Kage present at there, and then took his sit.

Yuri then stood up where she was sitting, "The Hunt seems to be over as well. Congrats Mr. Monster Hunter." Yuri said looking over at Shiki, as she had been keeping a close watch on the hunt as well as the Summit. "Well since this is over, you guys are free to go home, or head over to thee festival. The Grand Feast will be starting soon, so they'll be lots off food, drink, and hot bodies. So... thanks for coming... I guess?" Yuri didn't know what to say in this situation, she had never been to a Summit let alone hosted one.

((OOC: Alright!!! Summit Over!!! GET OUT!!! head over to the Festival if you want or just bail out.))

[Kinzoku]

As Ace accepted Kinzoku's apology, he felt a sign of relief. All Kinzoku wanted was for peace and prosperity of Konoha, especially under his rule. Today, a step toward that had been taken. Kinzoku smiled and nodded at Ace, as he was sure the two could make an agreement that would benefit both villages.

After everyone would speak, it seemed everything was settled. Portals would be built in all of the countries present. Everyone was in agreement. Now they would just have to wait for the ok from the residents of Alleve's Hallow. Kinzoku would then get up and stretch.

"Along with Ace, I would like to let you all know that Konoha has no quarrels with any villages present and everyone who is not already an ally will be considered neutral. If you hold ill will towards us, please keep in mind Konoha that is under new leadership and moving forward, I would like to change that. I will be sending out messages to all the villages to see where we stand. Please reply."

While waiting for any immediate responses from the other Kage, Kinzoku would nod to Ace.

"If you would like, we could meet at a neutral location and speak about our village's relationships moving forward. If that is fine with you, please send word as I will agree to any location you choose out of good faith."

With that, Kinzoku would turn to all the Kage again and wave while giving his innocent smile.

"It was nice to meet you all! Farewell."

He would then wait to exit with Rize in order to make their way back to Konoha. It was time to go home.

[EXIT with Rize/Loki]

[Madame Loki]

Rize looked over at Kinz as he seemed to be ready to go home. Pity she she would have enjoyed to take in the sights for a bit. It would also serve as a good place to talk to the Yukikage, but seeing that he was here with his daughter, the two of them would more than likely be taking in the sites more so than anything else. Rize nodded her head, it seemed that there was no point in staying then. Rize would turn to the Kage and give them a bow, before placing her hand on Kinz shoulder, "Very well, Lord Hokage. Farewell..." Rize would say to the Kage present before the two of them would vanish. By the time to lot of them had the chance to blink, she and Kinz would be back safely in Konoha.

"I believe with this we can conclude this Summit. Unless anyone has anymore pressing matters to bring up, you all are free to leave. I will be in the land of Rivers for the foreseeable future.

"The hunt seems to be over as well. Congrats Mr. Monster Hunter." told the woman while she looked over at Shiki.
"Well since this is over, you guys are free to go home, or head over to thee festival. The Grand Feast will be starting soon, so they'll be lots off food, drink, and hot bodies. So... thanks for coming... I guess?" finished Yuri.

"Thank you so much for letting us come here Kusakage. I look forward to work with you plus the other kages in the future. If you are heading to the land of the god's cry*, please send a message to Enrai. Have a great day" told the female.
She then turned her attention towards the Amekage. Marii took a deep breath since this would not be easy.

The young woman approached the Amegakure duo in a calm manner. "Excuse me. May I speak with the Amekage? It won't take long" assured the Raikage while she looked at the shark-looking man [Emi]. He was not as scary as she had thought at first.

After Party

T

he meeting was concluded way earlier than the boy had anticipated and he wondered if there was a reason behind avoiding the more crucial points. He tried to distinguish any features that the host wanted to have some extra side notes, but the group looked finished. It allowed him to breath out as the tension disappered, it was however just as much a sigh for it being uneventful. The young Hoshigaki then placed his right hand once again upon the amekage's shoulder and looked down upon her to see if she felt ready to leave. But before Emi had received any indicators he noticed that the Raikage was approaching with a clear focus. So Emi leaned down to the amekage's ear and whispered.

The lady Marii Kazeraikou, she's one of the most experienced leaders in the world and have been a prominent member of her village for a long time. Watch your words with her, it would not be wise to try any deceits here.

The boy then straightened his back and grinned at the approaching lady and his suspicions were confirmed as she asked to talk to the Amekage. It was however a little confusing for him that she felt the need to ask for his permission in a kage summit. But he gently replied.

Well of course, Lady Raikage.

The fact that she mentioned that it would be a brief discussion made him certain that it wouldn't be any secrets or big plans laid out, which made him less interested in the coming ideas. But he took a step to the side so the Amekage and Raikage could see each other clearly, yet close enough for him to instantly teleport himself and the Amekage away if anything would to happen.

Taliyah would stand up as she would get ready to leave the summit. It was a strange place to be at and it was definitely not one she would likely forget. This was all still a strange world to her and was not something that she was used to just yet. She looked around and saw the leaders getting up and starting to excuse themselves. Emi would place his hand on her shoulder, signaling that he was getting ready to depart. When suddenly Taliyah noticed the Raikage approaching them.

Emi would whisper information into Taliyah's ear and tried to process it as fast as possible. Taliyah was glad to have Emi around considering that without all of it she would honestly just be lost.The raikage would ask permission to speak to Taliyah which made Taliyah a little anxious. However knowing Emi was here it would be difficult not to feel calm at the very least.

"Hello Lady Raikage. It's a pleasure to meet such a empowering woman. It was much so a learning experience to see a woman take such charge at this summit." Taliyah would say giving her a smile. She wondered what the Raikage could possibly want to talk about

[DJ Loki]

Yuri looked around at the Kage still there and raised an eyebrow. No one had many more business to discuss with the group so why was everyone still just mulling around? Yuri clapped her hands to get their attention, "Ok, ok... time to wrap it up people. If you guys want to socialize that fine, but we need to shut this place down. Do your chit chatting at the Festival, where we can actually eat. Come on Come on!!! Scoot! Scoot!" Yuri would begin to guide the Kage out of the embassy and back into the Festival. It was time to leave this area.

((OOC: Locking this thread. If you have something you want to discuss with another Kage, just transfere the conversation over to the Festival Thread. Trying to condense all this down, so I can give people their stuff and end the event, in one place.))

[Wolf of the Falls]

Without a word, the wolf hopped down and headed out, there wasn't much reason for him to be around any longer so no reason to delay.

/exit
