[The Heron]

Dec 15, 2009 23:14:36 GMT -7 The Heron said:

Success or no, it would be prudent to deactivate the gates, as I sensed I was nearing the limit. Should the Takikage fall, I'd phase into the stone beneath my feet and promptly retreat.

I couldn't help but panic as I broke through the wall of kikai - the Takikage was gone, disappeared as if he had been naught but an illusion in the first place!

I didn't have time to think and discern how or why as the kikai began to fall over me - I merely acted, and with that action came my salvation. The earth welcomed me into her bosom just as abruptly as I'd broken the wall of Kikai. This deep into the terra, stone was abundant.

Beneath the earth, I could marvel at the strength of their recognition - how had mere bugs been able to match my speed? How?!

[/i] Being bested - nearly - by something so mundane as an insect humbled me, but in the same breath it added kindling to my fury.

The Takikage would not enjoy seeing me again. Nor would his Kikai.

Doton: Iwagakure no Jutsu (Earth Element: Hiding in Stone Technique)

Limit: Earth Release. 500 TP in earth release. Underground fish projection.

[OOC] You're not getting away that easy.
_______________________________________

As my chakra strings entered a dome that the Takikage had created, They dissipated, and my puppet fell to the ground. It seemed chakra was not able to be used within this dome. Watching closely, I waited for a moment to strike. I jumped down next to the pit, and just as I landed the pit was gone, and he was there, trying to escape. One thing he didn't count on, can't hide from the sharingan. I picked up the dead Anbu's katana. Though he would delve into the earth, so would I. Chasing after him underground was not easy, but he would not know in the slightest bit that he was being followed. All he would know is darkness. Soon I would be near him, katana at the ready. As I would approach from behind him, I would make a single slash at his jugular vein, and all the while watching him to predict a counter attack. This man would not leave here alive.

[—suzaku.]

"I've had enough of this; Iwa-nin, block your ears." It was time to put an end to this. A dome of chakra engulfed the Suzaku as he pressed the Mateki to his lips, and began to play the most intricate—the most potent—of the Mateki's melodies.

Mugen Onsa -- Saimin!

The flute's whisper pushed forth, dancing through the Suzaku's shell of chakra, reaching a level where it was audible even over the chirp of the swarming Kikai; even over the great distances that lay beyond the pit; even beyond the few layers of stone that seperated the surface from the sky.

And those that would hear it? They would be ensnared; shackled to the will of the Suzaku.

His to control.

Yes, should it succeed, there would be only one thing spoken...

"Hiromasa...stand still and watch the end which befalls any that stand against the Mist. The rest of you, I release, do as you wish."

_____
[1] Mugen Onsa: Saimin
Rank: S
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+) A harmless Genjutsu that merely hypnotizes the victim(s), thus allowing you to control their actions with words, or cause them to tell you what you wish to know. (Duration is three posts)
Special: Flute
Drawback: After playing this tune the flutist can no longer use their flute for the duration of the thread. The tune does not discriminate between friend or foe, only the flutist is unaffected.
Description: This mesmerizing tune allows the flutist to hypnotize any around them, placing them in a dream like state that allows for total obedience to the flutist. Once they are in this state, the flutist can make them do simple tasks, like killing themselves or telling him all their information. However the victim will remember everything that they did or said, as well as everything they saw when hypnotized, so it's best not to be around once the duration ends.
Limit: Only a Genjutsu Specialist can learn and only with a flute can it be performed.

[2] Oto Anpurifaia
Rank: S-rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Allows the user to increase the range of their songs and or voice.
Special: --
Drawback: --
Description: In order to increase the effectiveness and range of their songs, some flutist have learned how to literally create a buffer around them which increases the potency of sound traveling outward. The user will begin by emitting a thick layer of chakra around them, which will expand around them in a dome-like formation. From here, whatever sound they make will flow through the buffer and increase according to how much chakra is within the buffer (in other words, the learned rank of the technique); this means that within the buffer the sound is normal, however once entering it and exiting it takes a tremendous leap.

[3] Mukizu Kaichou (Flawless Melody).
Rank: S-rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: A Jutsu that increases the capability of the Genjutsu creating a perfect illusion; the intesnity of the Mateki-user's Genjutsu becomes so powerful it cannot be discerned as "fake" or disbelieved, and will last as long as the user wills it to, or until the victim(s) transfer chakra into one another and interrupt the tainted flow.Of course, this only works if the victim(s) teammates are not affected as well.
Special: Flute melody.
Drawback: This technique
Description: An illusion is performed so perfectly that it cannot be disbelieved and lasts as long as the user wills it to, or extreme pain is brought upon the victim(s), or if chakra is transferred into their body. Furthermore, this allows for the user to learn the final and most powerful technique of the Mateki style.
Limit: Sound Release, Mateki. This technique is automatic when the user learns 500TP into Mateki skills and techniques.

The crash came from above him, the reverberating footsteps being detected above him. However, they continued no further, ensuring Iizuka that the man had been caught within his trap. Even now, the insects would be swarming his body, beginning to enter through his mouth while also leeching him dry from the outside. With knowledge of his success, the Aburame would burst through the ground, having remained at the same point at which his insects had been.

As his eyes came above the earthen depths, he would spot the black mass, hands darting from Gaea. He grabbed onto what was apparently his leg, and brought him up with the might of his jutsu. He would never peer into the stone depths, as his chakra molding would be lessened due to the amount of Kikai. Even if he failed to bring up the fleeing Hiromasa, the penetrating sound of the Mateki took seize of him, the graceful melody playing along his mind and taking control of his person.

Yet, it would only be moments before he was freed once more, gazing at what would be a Hiromasa either held by the leg in his hand or merely upon the ground. He knew that the end had come, and so the bugs would invade his body. Although several stayed outside his body, the rest would begin to flood his mouth and then proceed to enter his lungs. No matter how much he tried to escape, this was the end. He had been finished, the insects leeching him of his chakra and ending his life. The Takikage muttered a single phrase, in near sympathy:

"Rest easy."

Double Suicide Decap (D Ranked)

[ryo]

Trust.

I had to. The man was not only a Sannin - he was a Sannin of a foreign village, that had come to our aid without our doing anything. The moment his words were airborne, my glance shot at him momentarily as my brain struggled to decide whether or not to listen.

In the end, I would heed the mans' warning.

Dual pointer fingers swiftly ascended as I turned back to face the situation, plugging my ears and voiding my sense of hearing. My Sansuegan eyes still burning brightly in their respective sockets, I maintained my focus and awaited whatever was to come next.

[OOC: Figuring there had been a hole in the wall, I was sure I read it somewhere, although feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.]

[Enter]

She had entered upon.. a disasterous sight, or from what she saw it seemed like it. "Ah, shoot." her words would be quietly spoken as she'd move towards the doors of the tower but to see that they had been locked down, although motions stirred somewhere in the tower, she was sure of it. Sound could be heard. Shaking her head somewhat she'd then pause a little bit as she'd await for Takeshi to enter, before then, utilizing her both strength and cat-like agility, would begin to scale the wall, jumping over nearby buildings that she could use in able to get to a form of opening in the beautifully crafted tower, rocks and rubble surrounded it. It was somewhat like what happened at the past tower of Konohagakure, but simply.. perhaps on a smaller scale.

Maybe.
The girl hadn't seen the interior first, of course.

So, making her way along, climbing, jumping and scaling, she'd soon make it to a shabby door that had been formed, only to see a sort of battle occuring, seven or eight figures to be seen, and it all looked as if they were older than her. From what she could hear, a flute had been played- But why would someone be playing a flute within a battle, unless it was to be of fighting purpouses? The flute no doubt initiated some kind of attack perhaps, that or the person was a bard of some sort. Figuring it was not the latter, her hands would then rise, and clasp against her ears, the melody being drowned out. If either Ichijin or Takeshi were to appear on the scene, they should have alteast seen her as she scaled the wall, of course. So, she'd wait where she was for now, able to both see the battle but while too staying in safe range.

She had come here to discuss.
But at the moment, she wasn't sure if one of the other Kage's had started the battle that was occuring, or some other nin, so she figured best not to intervene before she knew exactly what was happening. And so..
She'd wait.

Strife. Blood. Destruction.

Death…

From beneath my blessed gaze I’d observe all forms of human transgressions occurring right before my eyes, decimating the peaceful institution designed to house such an important event, and throwing away all remain shreds of civility we humans once claimed to have. My fist shook wildly as my teeth gritted, rage secreting throughout my body as a severe gaze penetrated all forms of trickery set forth and absorbed the entire scene all at once. There were many players to this impromptu brawl, and while I was more than eager to instill the Will of Fire upon them, my voice of reason would remind me of the unknown nature of the battle – as well as my main priority, Ishi-sama’s safety. I was at least forty meters away from the outside brawl and its nearest contender; before I would move further, several more marks would cleverly be left behind, hidden from view.

What the hell is going on here!?

For now I'd manage to remain calm, coolly and without incident, swiftly finishing my analysis of the battle. I’d attempt to pair off each face with the information within my BINGO Book as best as I could, and with each positive identification, their main attributes observed would be noted, from their chakra type to whatever weaponry they stored on them. Some faces were recognizable, while others were utter blanks. Regardless, I would be sharp to their ways, keeping Ishi-sama within my sights as she moved upwards towards the battle. It was at this point that I’d observe the intricate chakra waves flowing throughout the area, intensifying as one neared the insides of the half-destroyed building – it seemed the source of the illusion came from a flute player residing within the vicinity. To me, it was a call for danger. A quiet warning was shot across out team-exclusive channel.

“Ishi! Takeshi! Beware of the genjutsu coming from within – cover your ears!”

The decision to fight or not was not dwelled upon for long, for Ishi-sama’s safety was of top priority. Security protocols would force me to her side, my unique blue-green flames propelling my figure rapidly towards the hole she entered with ease. Byakugan would keep me aware should the rabid below decide to include me in their altercation, and as I glided, it would confirm once more those I was about to meet. I was predatory in the way I moved, yet fluid and languid in my arrival, leather boots sliding onto the smooth floor just past the jagged edges of the broken floor. Though I was already well aware of the presence within this room, I’d face each of them so that the glow within my white eyes made me appear as if I had barely laid eyes upon their ‘holy’ facades. A silent grin was worn as my ivory-stained, layered attire ended its fluttering, the winds of my flight influencing the fabric no more. I was silent in my delivery, expectant of our group's only spokesperson to initiate our greetings.

Byakugan

[/u]
Rank: Cx6, B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user
Range: 1000 yards
Drawba0ck: Byakugan user has a 360 degree field of vision, with the exception of a small blind spot behind the user's first thoracic vertebrae (as stated in the manga). Lacks the power of Analysis. This is demonstrated in an anime filler arc by Ranmaru, who created false chakra circulatory systems through the use of a dōjutsu (possibly a bloodline limit), causing the Byakugan to see inanimate objects as people and the objects themselves at the same time. However, it is not considered canon in a filler episode that a Byakugan user is unable to see the workings of such an "illusion".
Description: Can see the minuscule chakra pressure points. With the use of certain hand seals, it also has telescopic, X-ray, and thermal vision. The Byakugan is the key to Konohagakure's strongest Taijutsu, the Jūken, as it allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system of an opponent. Each level of its insight can therefore be mystified by proper means. When first learned they are capable of seeing up to fifty yards in a 360 Degree radius except for that blind spot. Each time learned this amount of distance is increased by ten yards. When the user reaches up to a distance of One hundred yards the amount of training is increased to that of "B" Rank Level Training. The amount of distance is still increased by ten. When the user reaches up to a distance of Four Hundred Yards the user is capable of seeing even further but with an amount of A Rank Training.

Drawback: ---
Description: When the user learns this technique they are capable of seeing the Chakra Holes within the human body with more in depth. The user is capable of deciphering what type of Elemental Nature the opponent has within their body. Depending on what the user knows, the user is capable of seeing the Elemental Nature from strongest to weakest. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of seeing one Chakra Nature that emits out the most. This means the type of Release the opponent knows the most. When the user learns the "C" Rank version of this technique they are capable of seeing two chakra natures within the opponent's body from strongest to weakest. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique the user is capable of seeing three chakra natures within the human body from Strongest to Weakest. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique the user is capable of seeing four chakra natures within the human body. Finally when the user learns the "S" Rank of this technique they are capable of seeing up to five chakra natures within the human body.

The user is also able to propel them along the ground as well when performing. When the user performs this technique, they quickly exhale out as they thrust their arms, or legs, or both out behind him, or the opposite direction of where they want to go.

I've been called back...again.

I'ma keep this short and sweet. Hiromasa, unless you have a way to get away from the mateki, I'm afraid you're finished. The flute's song will catch you and you have no choice but to obey. After that, you're pretty much bug food x:

Everyone else is going about their business watching...and..Posting continues in an orderly fashion.

My descent was halted by a hand around my leg - slowly, but surely dying, I summoned the last vestiges of my strength to leave the Takikage a gift... nine of them, and with it, the last of my stamina and chakra. If I couldn't manage nine, it didn't matter - even a single strike was fatal, and I'd take what I could get.

What was that sound? It was like heaven...

Kikai molested me, draining me of chakra, attempting to burrow into my mouth, but I paid them no mind - they were nothing in comparison to the song. As the darkness claimed me I couldn't help but think..

I should have killed them all when I had the chance.

My reincarnation would not show such mercy.

Do you have these, suzaku?

[zuka]

Alas, the mass of bugs crippled his movements, draining his chakra as the Aburame let go of his leg. He only needed to halt him long enough for the insects to enter his body, and they would be doing so. The bugs that had not been able to reach Hiromasa's body had been floating in the air above him, about three or so meters to be exact. The Aburame stepped back after letting go, which he had done as soon as the enemy had halted his own movements into the earth.

Suddenly, the mass shifted. Its form had risen and struck at the Takikage. However, it would meet nothing but another mass of insects, the Aburame now falling the few meters through the air as the mass itself fell and died. To think that he had just been saved by a single hand seal; Kawarimi was certainly a wise choice. As he eyed the insects crawling along the corpse, Iizuka would finalize the death by drawing his own blade. Specifically, it was the Kaguya blade given to him by his former mentor, Azrael.

The bugs scattered as the blade pierced through flesh and bone, driving it through his skull with ease. One twist of its blade and the gaping hole leaked crimson. Removing the blade and re-sheathing it, the Takikage bent over and gazed at the body. He swiftly found himself moving throughout the various pouches and bags, observing the possessions that the Kiri-nin had owned. He would in fact take these bags, placing them upon his own body. The other possessions would also be taken, the Aburame placing them upon his own person.

Chakra coating the bottoms of his feet, the Takikage would then begin a mad dash up the side of his own pit. There lay quite the scene; two discarded blades at one point, a deceased carcass at another. The last vestiges of broken rock scattered about the dead nin, the point where Iizuka had risen. As he made it to the top of the pit, he would say nothing, merely looking at the others and giving them a curt nod. It was over, and the meeting could either end or continue, however awkward it would so seem.

Still steps behind his lady hokage, trailing behind her in all hopes of ensuing her greater safety would he maintain his birthright, chakras to surge and swarm upon his optics like bees would in their robust hives. The battlefield had been a disfigured one, the serene atmosphere that the Bronze Hyuuga had visualized by the key word ‘meeting’ was torn asunder- hostility perfumed thickly in the qualm-heated airs. With the situation at hand teeming at the peak with levels of danger that would indubitably exceed ‘safety’ would the Kenjutsu Virtuoso swiftly spout chakras from tenketsu all around, their energies to seep hither upon his flesh, imperceptible to the mundane eye.

The scene had been a horrific one, morose in the greatest sense as death now unfolded itself in a brusquerie scene of fate. Unknowing of the enemy would he remain neutral thus far ‘lest he had been provoked or commanded to lay waste to those who may have been a bait of harm towards the ‘heart’ of their trio and the trio itself. A face of disgust was present upon him, his brow stiff as if he had been glaring ruthlessly, an angered sneer molded upon his lips, the docile state he had planned to blanket himself with now shattered by this uncanny turn of events, t’was safe to assume that his idea of ‘tolerable’ things had withered to naught.

Looks like now wasn’t the time to craft bonds of companionship, huh?

Before I could make my way to him, the Takikage had already destroyed him with the help of the flute genjutsu. Luckily, I was able to watch the flute and predict it's movements, covering my ears. Though it didn't matter, as he only used it to kill the trouble maker. It was finally over. As the Hokage would enter the presence, I would speak loud enough for all to hear with the vicinity. The days of isolation in the hidden village of the rain are over. It is time to take up new alliances.

"Listen here. Any village that has witnessed this fight today, can count on an alliance from the great nation of Rain. Mist, Sand, Waterfall, Stone, and you, Leaf ninja. Hear me well. Should you call for help, I will be there to answer the plea. Do not hesitate to ask. Whatever our differences were in the past, I shall forget them now. This is a new age. Do not forget the memories of the late Mizukage. I'm sure that this is why he brought us all here today!"

After the small speech, I would bow before the beautiful Netami, and wave my goodbyes to the rest of the leaders. We would see each other again. There is no doubt of this. After which, I would disappear, flickering back to the rain.

It has been proven, time and time again, that even in the most pressing times—even amidst the most tiring endeavours—the strong will perseveres. Today, like countless days before it, revealed itself to be no different. Even as a decrepit darkness chiseled its claws within the days events, dragging it close to the maw of madness, a resilient gathering of the world's strength stood against it, acting as a balancing weight against the darkness; and though uncertainty loomed ahead, it was in the voice of a single ninja that the chaos was muffled, and understanding was born.

"We have witnessed a great tragedy today, a tragedy which stole the life of a Kage, and brought demise to one of Kirigakure's former disciples. We would be hardpressed to find words to express the sorrow we most certainly hold in our hearts, to see the Mizukage fallen; to see the edifice of the tower tarnished; to see the sanctity of this meeting broken, and its purpose forgotten." The Sannin moved to the center of the room, offering an acknowleding gaze towards the Hokage and her escorts, before turning back to those who had stood with him. Those born of stone, rain, lightning and waterfalls. Those of bravery and sacrifice—those of glory.

"But we cannot allow that grief to overcome us, for in these events today, we showed unity, and a power of bonds which cannot be overwhelmed by corruption. Each of you stood emblazened with the fury of a lion guarding its young. You fought for the Mist, and you insured that Mizukage-sama's death was not in vein." He took a step towards the Iwa-nin, patting their Kage on the shoulder, before advancing to the lip of the pit, where a benevolent gaze was cast to the Aburame. "I thank you, on behalf of Kirigakure, and on behalf of Kage-sama.

"I'm certain many questions loom about, especially for you, Hokage-san," he said, glancing to the newest arrival. "I will do my best to answer them, and to salvage what might remain of this meeting, but first, I have one request."

"Would you join me, please, in a moment of silence for those that have fallen."

death and looting approved--

[yeahyouknow]

As soon as her order was passed, her lance had been thrown towards her. Spinning upon her heels the Tsuchikage whipped the Gamyusa Mori around her form, settling it behind her back near her hips as she prepared for the battle. But it seemed as if the events that followed were not to include the leader of Iwagakure. Things happened to quickly for Netami to do anything. The Takikage took out Hiromasa quickly with the aid of the powerful Sannin of Kiri and soon the battle had concluded. Joining the happenings was a trio of Konohagakure Shinobi. Before leaving, the Kishiyagi had taken a look at the state of alliances Iwa had, it was from there that she learned that both Iwa and Konoha had an uneasy and hostile relationship. The Kishiyagi had come to this meeting on neutral terms and she would keep this mindset for what remained of the meeting. If it was even possible she wanted to turn their village's hostile status to one of neutrality. It seemed as if both Kages shared a lot in common, both were female and both seemed to be new at this job.

The Hokage seemed to wait for the battle to end, and as it ended Netami walked towards her. Stopping before her fellow female Kage, the Tsuchikage would offer a hand to the kunoichi, a broad smile upon her lips as she welcomed her to the meeting. ''I am Kishiyagi, Netami the Tsuchikage.'' It was an odd sight to see. One of the room's walls had been completely destroyed, a corpse remained nearby and a few of the shinobi had just fought for their lives, yet peace once more reigned and Netami was all but ready to welcome this new addition to the cast of the meeting. Soon both the Amekage and the Mist Sannin spoke, the first explained his new alliance with all of them. How peculiar, the Tsuchikage thought, that he was willing to ally with all these people that he had only known for a handful of minutes. Returning his bow, the kunoichi simply turned towards Suzaku as he spoke, her eyes scanning his form, taking in all that she could. He was calm and knew what he wanted, he had the qualities of a good leader, unlike Netami.

The green-haired kunoichi nodded as she heard the man's request. She had remained silent during most of the ordeal, and she would do so some more for the fallen. As the seconds went by and silence crept over the proceedings, Netami could do nothing else but have pity upon the world of the shinobi. They had not even been able to have one peaceful meeting. Their world was truly filled with violence and hate.

And so as her two kin would soon appear at the scene, she would look to them before nodding her head somewhat, the looks on their faces concerning her somewhat. Something wrong had happened here, as it seemed the black haired bug-user seemed to spread the creatures across and towards the intruder who came upon the room on such wrong terms.
Upon further listening in on the words that was spoken by the male whom had made his prescence known as the Amekage, a slim man who appeared to have the top of his face partially hidden by rolls of fabric, his clothing adorned somewhat with metals. It was pretty for sure, but it's purpouse was perhaps at the same quality it was it's appearance.

An alliance from Amegakure?

She'd think for a few moments. Nought qualms had she with the request or, declaration even, but memories of Souzen came to her mind, one of the past Amekages whom she had spent time with in the Chuunin exams and thereafter near the forests of Hi no Kuni. "........."[/color] She'd then nod in a somewhat agreeing manner towards him. If there was to be a new age for the majority of the nations whom had new leaders, why should age old feuds be kept strong? It was a time to start again and try to restore the dignity of the villages, to not be thought of as scum in the eyes of others.

She'd smile somewhat as she'd watch him leave, glad that atleast some form of change had come from entering the scene today. As her eyes would then gaze upon the almost minty green haired woman as she seemed to make her way towards her, a hand to be outreached as a name would be spoken. 'Kishiyagi, Netami the Tsuchikage.' Of course, she was no doubt much older than her, or simply tall. She seemed to be atleast eight inches taller than Ishi had been, the red head having to look up a little bit to see her face. "Ahh." She'd pause. If it was one thing that Ishi did know of, it had been the relationship between Konoha and Iwa, it hadn't been a very pretty one at all, but placing that aside, she'd smlie back to the woman, her hand outstretching to hers as she'd then shake it a little as per usual, taking note to see the horns which were displayed on her head. It was.. different from what she usually saw, but nonetheless pretty. "I'm Kishiko, Ishi, the Hokage." Introducing herself, she'd add a bow of her head. It was quite nice to meet her on non hostile terms, although Ishi herself didn't have anything against Iwa, but in most situations, the country as a whole spoke for itself as it seemed. "It's nice to meet you, Netami-San. " she'd then, addressing those in the area, speak;

"I apologize for our lateness. There had been people needing to be taken care of in the office."

It seemed then, the violet eyed shinobi had begun to speak. From the way that he seemed to.. present himself, it gave Ishi some idea that he held an important title in the village, perhaps. Maybe a Jounin, or a Sannin? A kage had died? She'd pause, looking around as a few corpses seemed to be about, as she tried to guess which one was the Mizukage.

So we have missed a lot.

Why exactly had the attack been called? Some renegade Shinobi, the one whom the black haired male had attacked with his insects was probably the culprit. It was quite.. distressing to learn that the same Kage whom had invited them so peacefully to dinner had died the same day, his own request for peace torn down by some selfish person. An offer to explain was then given by the same male, she'd simply respond with a nod, as a moment of silence was then called, she'd nod her head as no sound could be heard from the haori-clad girl. Neither had she been here to see the death of the Mizukage or the start of the fight, but she still held sorrow for the death of someone who had apparently meant simply good.

Unsure if there was a posting order or not.

Shifting slightly, the sandbox encasing Areno began to fall apart, leaving his body. With barely enough chakra to keep himself alive, Areno's mind raced at what had happened. Last he knew, he was traveling at high speeds straight through a wall. He assumed he had been knocked unconscious during the fight. After several attempts, he realized that he didn't have enough chakra to fully form his body any longer. Using a small amount of the chakra he had left, he formed the sand above his heart into a mouth and vocal chords. "Ughhh, Is he dead?! As much as it kills me to say this... Can I get some damn help back here?" he shouted in his gritty, gravely voice. Making himself known to the Kages. "A... Medical nin would be nice..." he tacked on rather dryly, still shouting.

[zuka]

The silence passed, and as it was occurring the Aburame glanced around at the ruined estate. A pit resided now within its fields, a hole melted in the wall, another blown through by the Kazekage. His hands moved behind his head as he let out a whistle, sighing as he bowed before the Mizu Sannin. His hands clasped together in a sign of respect, he would speak while still bowing before him. "Takigakure will gladly pay for the damages that have occurred here today. Allow me tocompensate for the trouble caused." Lifting his head, he would smile and begin to return to normal posture.

He nodded to the Kage's present, returning his sunglasses to his eyes as he then bowed before each of them. As introductions were being passed, he would like to make himself known. "Aburame, Iizuka. Takikage." Now all there was left to do was help to answer any questions, as well as find Taki's place within the world's politics. He knew of his neutral terms, but not of the ulterior motives of any of the people present. Glancing at the Hokage for a moment, he would examine her and take her as no threat. Smirking as he now looked towards the pile of sand, the Kazekage would begin to shift and shout from his position. Chuckling heartily, he'd look back towards the Mist Sannin once more, waiting for any further words.

OOC: Sorry for the crap post. Just kinda wanted to get things moving a bit.

[—suzaku.]

"That would be greatly appreciated, Takikage-sama," he said, bowing his head in a return of respect to the Aburame. Afterwards, he shot a quick glance across the room, and outwards, towards the heap of dust he could only assume was the Kazekage.

"Yes, Medical Nin will likely be here soon, to attend to each of you as so desired." He turned back to the other Kage, shuffling his gaze between them. "I'm sure some of you feel little need to remain here; given I have no true assessment of what the lage Kage-sama wished to address, it would be rude of me to keep you here against your will. You may leave if you so desire—likewise, if you have any questions, you may remain, and discuess them."

As he took a step deeper into the room, a flurry of ANBU fell from the shadows, retrieving Hiromasa's and the Mizukage's corpses, and taking them back to Kirigakure Facilities.

[apple]

As her right hand would then rise to lightly flick away a few stray hairs which had gone infront of her eyes ina pesky manner, she couldn't help but hear a cry from somewhere in the room. Looking towards where it came from she'd then notice quite a bit of sand. And of course, the first thing that had come to her mind was Sunagakure, it's Kazekage was here? He seemed to be quite struck down by the events which had occured prior to her, Ichijin and Takeshi's coming to the event.

"Forgive me, I understand isn't the best time to ask, but, I'm guessing you're the Kazekage?" She'd ask as she'd examine him somewhat, noticing that he seemed to be somewhat.. different to the others in the room, seeming to be somewhat formed by sand at the moment. "Is there anything I could do to help?"

She'd ask that, unsure of what exactly was wrong since she hadn't been there at the time. The rest of the people in the room seemed to be somewhat healthier-looking than he was at the moment, so the least she could do was help if she could, despite the fact that of course the relationship between Suna and Konoha was quite hostile, none was shown or even thought of within the girl.

Her head turning then towards the black haired male whom she had seen earlier, he would then speak, a name then to be given with his appearance, revealing himself to be the Takikage. "It's nice to meet you!~ I'm guessing you might have heard a few moments ago, Kishiko, Ishi, Hokage." As she'd wait for the reply of the Kazekage, she'd then bow in a polite manner in return to the Takikage.
"Yes, Medical Nin will likely be here soon, to attend to each of you as so desired."

Come to think about it, I have a headac-
No. Just no.
And so, for a brief few minutes, Ishi would space out, looking off into the distance for a bit, before shaking her head, and returning to Earth once more.

"Thank you for your hospitalities, and I do give my condolances for the loss, and my apologies, if we had come here earlier.." She'd murmur in a quiet tone, hoping that atleast Mizu would be able to stay stabilized in the devestating time that had been sent upon them. She'd then look across the room at her troupe as so to say, namely being the two Hyuuga, Takeshi and Ichijin, and she'd then look over at the people whom the other Kage's had brought themselves, before finally laying eyes once more on the other Leaders within the room, including the pile of dust slash sand that appeared to be the Kazekage. It seemed that the meeting had come to a close, although would some of the other Leaders stay to discuss things? Or had they done that already?
If the Amekage had stayed, she would have wished to speak with him for a while, but unfortunatley for him, he had left.

Maybe I'll send him a letter later.
