—the streets. [event thread]

[Runeska]

The kage bunshin of the chuunin approached the streets quickly. There was some kind of problem going on. He knew it. He tapped on his com device, changing it to an anbu frequency. Speaking into it, he said, "Hey, what's the situation in there? I heard there was a meeting of sorts"

A few seconds later, there'd be a crackle in his ear. "The situation is grave. I'm afraid the mizukage has died. It appears the missing nin Wakamusha has returned to claim his life. Situation is being handled, but be on the look out for more suspicious activity."


Wow... Gekkido was stunned to say in the least. Things had changed. He only hoped the real Aclime wouldn't stay from home for too long. Of course he could handle his own, but... how long could he pose as the original. Oh well, only he knew anyway. He continue to walk about scouting the area for suspicious activity. He stopped in his tracks though once he spotted a group of shinobi. One of them he recognized as Jiro from their recent mission. The rest were an enigma. He began walking closer but stopped at about 20 meters.

"We're Mist Ninja, don't worry your little head, we won't chop it off."

The boy would be oh so, rude, to someone he had just met. It was in his nature to not be friendly unless it should be inserted. Hearing the rings of buzzers, the clangs of bells, and all of the above, Ikiri could only IMAGINE the types of undercover ops that could be going down right now. It was perfect cover for shit to happen right under the village's nose. This would only prompt him to get the mist ninja together to evaluate the situation. Tapping his fingers to his thigh; in almost a compulsive manner, Ikiri would pose his question.

"So what the hell is going on around here?"

& trust, the one that was scouting wasn't missed. It wasn't actually seen, but when there is a slight stall of movement because someone stopped, it was something that prompted an investigation.

"Jiro, make sure there isn't anyone else watching us."

The youth who was watching them trotted over and asked of them, "You need something stranger?"

Jiro was slightly ticked that he just called them strangers. "We're Mist Ninja like you...these can't be counterfeited." He was steamed that even the official headbands still didn't link them all as brothers. Jiro snapped back as Ikiri had him look again for any snoopers. He looked into the crowd again as he muttered...

"Who do you think you are..?"

Looking in the direction of the gate he saw Gekkido running down the street. Here's someone who would know everyone here. He walked down the street but then abruptly stopped. He was really far away. Maybe he only knew Jiro and the others we're strangers to him. Jiro looked back to the group. "Wait here, everyone."

Maybe he could get any information from Gekkido on the situation with the mizukage. He jogged away from the group heading for Gekkido. Getiing within ten feet of Gekkido he slowed to a walk. STanding in front h=of him as he had a look of despair.

"Gekkido... what's going on here?!"

Maybe Gekkido could give him at least a heads-up on the situation.

[Runeska]

Another crackling noise would be hear in ear. He felt uncomfortable knowing there were so many foreign presences around right this second. He closed his eyes to concentrate on the new message going though. His right hand blanketted the device on his air as absorbed the information.

"Nuke nin defeated, a few anbu slain, but no other casualties to report. Resume normal duties, but keep an eye out for suspicious activity."


That seemed to be the end of the message. It was only slightly relieving, knowing the initial threat was over. However, there was still what would they do now? Gekkido had never met the new Kage, and had only heard that Shin had been demoted. To return to find that you had a new leader, who had already been slain... something just seemed wrong in mist. He sighed once in a weary fashion before opening his eyes. It appeared Jiro was approaching him. His body languaged portrayed concern, worry, and emotions that showed that he too was aware of an odd presence in the village. He had to think for a moment about what information would be privilleged, and what should be common knowlegde. However, this was Jiro, a pretty well adept shinobi who'd already proven himself capable of handling himself. Lying or witholding information would really serve no purpose.


"Yes, hm... Wel..." he paused for a moment, face as stern and serious as when they were out the country before. "The mizukage who replaced Shin held a meeting with many of the kage of other villages. It seems a former nukenin of this country killed whoever the current Mizukage was. However, he has been disposed of." His head bowed forward briefly and he crossed his arms in thought. "The situation appears to be under control now, and I must get back to my duties as chuunin. Alas, it seems we only just returned."

He'd had only stopped before because of the message he'd recieved, but he now took notice of the group still standing its distance away. He looked over at them, stepping in front of Jiro for a brief second. Durring that second, he flashed his chaos on for a moment. Was there really any harm in trying to figure what your fellow shinobi were? Under his gaze, he analyzed the first figure who was talking with Jiro before looking at the other. The first, Ikiri, appeared to be of relative strength and pretty adept in the art of molding his chakra. The other, nyuu seemed weaker, but held a slight strong aura of chakra. He'd gotten quite adept at reading an aura, and with that much said, he was slightly more impressed with Ikiri. Alas, the second of his doujutsu passed before it would be recognized. "Jiro, are these friends of yours?" he asked.

[Nyu]

Nyustukyi had not meant to offend the shinobi, however he had to be sure. They could have simply killed some mist ninja and took their headbands. However, he smiled at them. "No offense but I don't know everyone in the village." he said in a polite tone. He wasn't about to get into an argument or fight fo no reason. "As for what is going on, there is a fight going on. Also, as for my head, don't worry I already knew you wouldn't chop it off."

He turned his hed towards the tower of the Mizukage. He hoped that who ever was fighting soon stopped before more people got drug into the conflict. Innocent people.

[Deleted]

"So, there is a fight going on."

Leaving this one who gave him the information immediately, Ikiri would dip & dive through the people over to Jiro. So, it seemed that he knew this one that was eying them from afar. And he seemed to know more then anyone else right now, so he was the one being talked to now. On approach; he would shake his hair to the left. Looking this dude up and down. He would have to cut the bull$#!% to get straight to the brass tax.

"So, Who is dead up in the tower?"

so blunt.

Gekkido gave him some insider news. The mizukage that replaced Shin was killed by Wakamusha, a Missing-Nin of Mist. Jiro could not directly remember this Wakamusha but he had been taken care of nonetheless. "Wow!" It was alot to take in but since he didn't know them how could he be remorseful. As ninja our life are forfeit to the whim of our leaders and captains. He stopped brooding as Ikiri had appeared near them.

Jiro turned looking at Ikiri. "The Mizukage that preceded Shin was kill by a Missing Nin by the name of Wakamusha. But that Missing was taken out."

He spread the word to Ikiri. He turned back to Gekkido and introduced him. "Gekkido this is Ikiri... Ikiri Gekkido... Gekkido ... Ikiri. And with that i'm going home this has been a nonstop day for me and its time for a nap." He started to walk away slightly behind Gekkido he came to a stop. "Gekkido, if your going on any crazy missions come get me ..." He turned and continued out of the main streets.

[Nyu]

"If your friend is right, then this is a sad day for the Mist indeed."

[Runeska]

Jiro would introduce Gekkido to his freinds. Needless to say, he wasn't the least bit appauled by Ikiri's apparent lack of manners. He was very blunt and direct, perhaps the type that wouldn't beat around the bush. A freshing quality indeed, if his skills weren't lacking. As Jiro turned to leave, he said, "Then sleep well Jiro. In this new coming age, you'll need the strength." He thought for a moment about what else should he do. Perhaps he could get to know some more of the other shinobi of Kiri a little better.

"Ikiri eh?" he began to look the young man up and down, inspecting everything about his appearance. He seemed sharp enough in wit. His body was significantly taller than his own, as he was rather short for his age. Gekkido actually had to look up to see his face. Alright, he'd made a decision. Just because mist was having a hard time on the inside doesn't mean it should portray that to the outside. No, he would continue on as if nothing had happened and protect mist's borders. His eyes narrowed and sharpened to dagger points. "Come" That was all he would say, as he began to move the direction of the tower.

[Deleted]

This guy, he seemed to be on a pedestal of sorts. Maybe a Chuunin? He had the essence of leadership. Ikiri's own bluntness caused some in Gekkido to show as well. Normally not being the one to lead, he would bite his pride on the left nipple and follow closely behind this dude. He seemed cool enough.
