"The Resistance" [Private]

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

The real Jishiro had somewhere to be, in particular he was meeting at a small Dango vendor. Said vendor was actually one of his people in disguise. They were waiting for an arrival to approach but what he hadn't expected was an arrival for him. The lad introduced himself as Gero and explained that Great Aunt Sanao requested his presence. Something must have been up and for such a thing to occur now, he noded but asked the man wait just a moment before they leave.

Carrying himself swiftly into the capitol city, Toshi navigated the streets looking intently for something that explain to him what exactly he was searching for, all he had been informed of was that he was to meet in the capitol, he was not however informed of who he was meeting or where they would meet. As he turned around a packed corner he spotted a familiar face standing by a small vendor, surely he would know something. The ANBU approached the man, shaking off the enfuriated look painted across his face stopped before the man. "Lord Jishiro," he said pleasently, surely he must know something but Toshi still had to be cautious, he wasn't sure what side Jishiro was on and didn't want to blow the entire operation. "How have you been?"

Keeping by his side the whole time was none other than Natsuki, whom was looking at her surroundings very intently. She recognized their path to be that of the capital and was starting to get a better understanding of why they were there. Yet the scroll did not inform him of whom he was to meet, which still left Natsuki worried. Both of the two were looking around but soon enough Toshi would spot someone he knew. He greeted the man with the title of Lord, which caused Natsuki to perk up in interest. When she saw him, she bowed and stood silently by the ANBU's side.

Hands in his pockets, Aclime stepped about aimlessly after leaving the festival. It appeared to be someone he should meet in this area. Would it be the same man from earlier, or just another eye, mouth, or even limb of the whole secret operation? He could never be sure of who caught wind of what, so as he sauntered about seemingly aimless, his eyes scanned about for spying eyes. Having spotted none, he continued on his way in a normal fashion.


It was only a moment later when he encountered the location in question. There was a man there for sure, but others had arrived as well. Were they in on it too? He didn't know. He didn't really know anything. But surely, things would be made clear with a bit of patience. He steps slowed as he got closer, until he came to a stop before the vendor. His eyes scanned the appearances of those who had showed up to. Whether coincidence or planned meeting, he hoped to find out something more at this time.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Toshizo-kun, it's been awhile since I've seen you. I myself have not been doing as well. Judging from the fact that you're here within the capital, I can assume my message to you went through." his voice was hearty and it didn't really reflect how serious the matter at hand was. He also looked over to Aclime and smiled. "Aclime, step forth into the circle I shall share with you the information that you need. No one shall be in the dark any further, except for our enemies."

This was it, the beginning introduction to what was going to change the course of Kirigakure as a whole. Though it was not something uncommon, such events never occured within Kirigakure's history before and so it marked a first.

[Hana~Kyo]

The kind expression he had approached the councilmen with slowly faded as he had confirmed the letter was from the man before him. The accusations against the Kage had been made by this man. "Those were so pretty wild accusations you made in your letter, as a member of the council im sure you have some information that you'd like to share about what exactly is going on?" he said in a cold emotionless tone, he was not so blinded by rage that he would completely ignore all reason. Jishiro had stated things in his letter and Toshi would not deny him the chance to calrify things. It may have been because some where in his mind he was hoping that it was all just some kind of misunderstanding, even though he know the chances of such were highly unlikely.

Kotaro would exit the theatre as he looked around for this Dango stand. His eye readjusted to the sunlight. He soon spotted the Dango vendor which was prety popular with people he known from previous events. Toshizo, That woman and that guy from the forest. Kotaro wasn't keen to ask names of everyone he meets. Kotaro soon began to approach the vendor. Surely the would become aware of his presence, and maybe even query him upon his condition. But nonetheless he was at top conition.

[Runeska]

"Aclime, step forth into the circle I shall share with you the information that you need. No one shall be in the dark any further, except for our enemies."


His head turned forward at this remark. He'd been called forward, by his birthname. The allias Gekido Runeska apparently hadn't passed by him. Had he made some mistake somewhere? It might have been just a short while ago, with Ziro. However, he doubted this. Either way, it was out the bag now. To be called by Aclime instead of Gekkido meant that the secrets of his bloodlimit had to have been known. All it meant now was that there was no reason to hide it.


"Yes, as you wish." His head then nodded as he glanced over to see the other man from the forest. He listened in to the one called Toshizo. It seemed there was much to be explained but as he said, all would be taken care off. Amongst allies, he stayed silent, awaiting what information would be bestowed upon him.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Once everyone was gathered, he'd proceed to address Toshizo's request.

"So my fellow Mist Ninja, you request proof of the matter at hand and you shall indeed have such. Firstly Toshizo, look to your fellow ninja; Asura Kotaro. He alone is living proof of the rule of Uchiha...tell him the result of you 'crossing' Uchiha whilst I unravel the evidence I've gathered." Jishiro explained whilst he moved his hands within his black cloak. Soon various items would be revealed, reports about Sector Seven and their mission logs was the first. The second was the log of ANBU whom protected the Uchiha Temple.

"My people have been watching the actions of the Mizukage, noting her actions. At the current moment we have reason to believe that her identity on file isn't whom she claims to be. She is in fact a missing ninja from Konohagakure, a Hyuuga no less. It is perhaps her spite against Hyuuga why she's aided Uchiha in time of need. Thus allowing our ranks to be filled with Uchiha. Now heed me, I have no qualms with Uchiha the more families we can gather under our banner the better, however they've come into our home and have attempted to take it over and mould it into their own image. This I cannot allow..."

His voice had risen, anger clearly in his voice. Yet he sighed some...the final piece of evidence that Toshizo would need would be revealed.

"...lastly my lad, these are doucments written by the Mizukage herself, filing the status of her report on your mission with the little miss."

The scroll would be unraveled and it was indeed her writing:

"I've sent Natsuki Kikkawa abroad in order to seek more connections for Mist. In order to expand the strength and reach of my people, we'll need more clients in various nations and villages. Though her father is a missing ninja whom planned an uprising, therefore I've kept tabs on her by sending one of my ANBU; Toshizo to watch her. I'm sure that her true colours might be revealed when she returns to Moyoushi therefore a second ANBU will be watching the group in the shadows. Ordered to kill the girl in case she defects and brings Toshizo to her side.

In any event, upon their return with successful clients I plan to use her for one final act. She will act as my real identity in an attempt to mask myself from my pursuers."

"So then, what say everyone here...we will be preparing to capture the Mizukage and bring her to trial very shortly but first we need to make sure we're in position."

[Hana~Kyo]

Hatred swelled in the eyes of the light haired ANBU, sure enough Jishiro had confirmed his accusations with some pretty powerful evidence, but worst of all was the letter that he had presented. The words written upon it were what pushed him over the edge, his hands were clenched so tightly that a slight stream of blood began to drip from between the gaps in the fingers on his right hand, without warning his arm rose up in a rapid motion that finished when his balled fist colided with a decent amount of force against his own forehead, serving only to further cut the palm of his hand. "That bitch...." he whispered as he lowered his bleeding hand back down to his side.

His gazed shifted to Natsuki who still stood beside him, "I am sorry, I can't believe I was so stupid. I will make things right for you, I promise." It was true he had not realized the ture intents of the Mizukage at that time, how could he have. The Mizukage had lied to him, she had not actually trusted Natsuki as she had said she would and as if to throw salt in the already bleeding wound, she did not even trust Toshi enough to believe that he could handle himself, that he needed some one to watch over him just in case; it was pathetic.

The emerald gaze then shifted back to Jishiro, his body lowered itself to one knee and his head titled toward the floor. "Lord Jishiro, Just give me your orders and I will gladly take care of the treachery that has been brought about by the so called Mizukage of his nation. For the sake and safety of Kirigakure, you have my skills at your disposal." even after he finished he did not rise, he simply waited to here what Jishiro and the others who had gathered would say next.

[DeeDub]

It seem everyone was riled up by Jishiro's revelations of Hina's rule and trusting of the Uchihas. Her herself a Hyuuga who were untrusting of the Uchihas. Their histories intertwined into decades past. Kotaro listened closely in his mind he thought "I never trusted her."

Her name in pencil on his revenge list was now emboldened in ink. Her disregard of his injuries at the hands of Koutetsu had come true. Kotaro grasped his left eye. As the pain of that moment came over him again. The slight pain subsided as Jishiro laid out their plans to abduct Hina. Kotaro knew this was a tough order as she was in close embrace with Koutetsu the real object of his deepened hatred.

Kotaro waited to hear every detail of their operation. His body twitched involuntarily. His silence hid the fact that he was more than ready to do what had to be done.

[Natsuki Kikkawa]

Natsuki had remained silent as the group gathered, staying near Toshizo. Little by little, the man known as Lord Jishiro began to slander the Mizukage. She wasn't sure what to believe, for one the man said she was lying about who she really was. In other words, she was really a traitor just as her own father had been one for his people. This made her frown at first, until she remembered the kiss. That was no ordinary kiss it was...a mark of servitude at least, that's how she felt. Her life simply belonged to the Mizukage, to atone for her sins. This was the wavelength she was on, despite the information being presented.

Then things took a turn, when she saw the contents of the scroll, the Mizukage's own log...it did seem like her writing as well. She was amazed...bewildered, she could only gasp, her voice disappearing on her slowly. The Mizukage did not trust her, going so far as to keep a double set of tabs. Yet the next part of her log was ingrained into her mind. She was...going to be turned into a sacrifice? Was her life so unworthy, so useless that she'd forever be abused by others, by people in 'authority'? No! This was not the Kirigakure that Captain Kiri represented, this was just pure evil. Tears streamed down her cheeks, tears of sadness as she looked to Jishiro.

"Y-you...w-won't let...Mist be this way...yes?"

[Runeska]

At last, everything was revealed. So this was why. Those that were here were those who had been betrayed in numerous means. These were the members of kirigakure who served a nation that was slowly dissapearing by the hands of the Uchiha, with the mizukage's knowledge. Betraying a nation from the inside out. It was heinous. It could not be tolerated.


Everyone here was ready move, ready to act and accomplish the goal of bringing the mizukage to justice. However, she was guarded by Kouketsu. And with him recruiting more Uchiha daily, that meant they could likely have to go through dozens of Uchiha underlings just to have a shot at thier target. And he could feel the anger reverberating through the very air.


Yet, the plan had not been discussed. How would they accomplish their goal? And surely, to take the mizukage, that would invite her lover to rage, would it not? Position indeed. They needed to have everything mapped out. Only through these such ways could they truly be successful without costing too much.


"I believe I share everyone's sentiment when I say that this can not be tolerated any longer. Let indignation rain down, by your order of course." His words would be said only loud enough their small grouping to hear. He would be ready, as soon as a plan of action was established.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Jishiro was indeed pleased, everyone truly comprehended the situation at hand. The Mizukage was destroying the nation from inside out. For now he'd begin to discuss the plan with everyone. It began with the fact that ANBU were already in place at the dinner hall, waiting for the moment to catch Hinagiku. They would act as the first line of offense. In the meanwhile, ANBU would be briefed all around the village of the Mizukage's crimes. With a whole village alert, they would surely be able to capture the fugitive. As for those gathered, they would be the ones to make sure that she did not escape. Gathering in arms and trailing the Mizukage and any of her followers.

"Now then everyone, be swift...Mist awaits your success. We will have justice!"

Okuza explained though he himself still had much more to take care of, he'd disappear in an instant, moving through the shadows once more. He had a meeting to arrive at, one that was well overdue. Gero would likewise make his way to follow the man, marking their exit.

[Hana~Kyo]

With the group now gathered and informed, Toshi turned to all the others whom had came under the same circumstances as himself, all the other shinobi who had been betrayed by the very person they served with their lives. They were the ones who would now need to fight against an extremely powerful group of enemies for the sake of the mist village. He cast a glance over in the direction of Natsuki, "I'd like you to return to my house and wait there until I come back. When everything goes down, this town will be no place for one such as yourself and I would not be able to guarentee your safety." After he had finished his request he turned back to the others and gave them a brief nod before leaving the group. He was going to prepare himself for the coming battle.

|Exit|

[DeeDub]

It seemed everyone needed to ready for the battle ahead of them all. Kotaro thought the same as he headed outside of the capital for a brief moment to ready himself further. He turned away from the group as they wnet there separate ways.

[exit]

[Runeska]

Justice... he'd be sure to accomplish that, and nothing else. There was no grudge held on his behalf, simply a belief that to hold true to his personal oath, he had to do what he thought was right. His body vanished from site in favor of heading out to accomplish the tack before him.

[Exit]

An unrelenting silence as the shinobi stood forth, shinobi bathed within it’s proximity. Though, not the only one, it seemed as if the spotlight would have turned astray. Walking with the older man would seem more comforting than most positions. Strange thoughts of his family’s safety would flicker throughout the cerebellum’s translucent signal. Knowing it had been a place of silence now, a conversation could be held within range now. ”So. What have you brought me here for?” the shinobi would ask, filtering through the strange openings in which he could escape if anything went wrong. Surely it had not been a place for an absent state of mind, one had to be on their toes in the face of ’darkness.’ The face mask still stood within it’s range, and eyes dipped as his pupils marked the world itself. An elliptical glow would allow him to see the forces of nature as chakra itself, ’finally, some light.’

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

There was no need for words now, the man would raise his right arm forward. His right index finger pointed to...himself? Yes, the one with the young lad was but a clone and no sooner dispursed. Beside the old man was yet another lad. All answers would be revealed now.

"I've been summoned to meet with someone, important family and such. Walk with me, I shall be preparing to make you a Mist Ninja but only under one condition young one."

He smiled now, his expression was that of a lighthearted fellow.

"You must pledge alliegance to Mist for right now we're in grave times. Our Kage, Hachidaime is wanted as a High Class Missing Ninja. We must do well to eliminate her and assure safety for all those within Mist, less our secrets be revealed."

With that he assumed the Missing Ninja would follow him, Geru would be leading him towards his family's meeting place.
