—kage dinner. [event thread]

"Sorry, Netami-sama..."

I whispered in her hear.

"...but I must heed the call of the wind."

Something strange had happened. Something within the very fiber of my being. I felt as if the wind really was calling me elsewhere, and despite my normal rationality, I listened. Though leaving the Tsuchikage's side was not part of my mission, I knew that Souzen could handle things in my absence - he was more of a shinobi than I was.

"I look forward to seeing you all again."

With that, I took my leave.

[Exit]

[yeahyouknow]

As the minute of silence passed, soon Suzaku dispatched them all. They were free to stay or to leave, something that Netami had wanted to do since the Mizukage's death. There was no use in staying, their meeting had been ruined by a Kiri Missing-Nin yet now it was all in the past, a recent past, but a past nonetheless. The Tsuchikage straightened herself, she gently ran her digits through her long emerald locks as her eyes settled on the Mist Sannin. She took a deep breath before speaking to him, her voice was strong and loud so that all were able to hear her.

''Thank you for inviting us here and for such hospitality. I am truly sorry for Fuji-san's death. Hopefully the next time our paths cross we will meet under better circomstances, yet I doubt that will happen.''

With that Netami turned around left the tower, Souzen was sure to follow as that was his task. She needed to find Harukani first before departing...

OOC: *Sorry for the lateness of this, I haven't been able to post for one reason or another lately.*


"Hokage...", The title rolled from his sand-tongue. By now, he had been able to collect enough solar energy to form enough chakra to resume his form, the sand began and compact together, as his heart move to his chest. His form was complete now, however he did not hide the fact that his true from was of an ivory sandman, not a true human. From the sand's featureless face, a void opened from the lower section. "You would be correct. I am the Kazekage." He spoke smoothly as his eyes never left the Hokage. "I must apologize for my predecessors hostility towards Konohagakure. Our violence towards you has been so deep rooted in our traditions for a while now, I'm afraid there is little to no hope of us breeding it from our citizens. However, I... am not such a Sunagakure citizen. I know of ways to settle differences without such violent situations." He paused, his hair was forming from his head now.

"I take it that Bastard is dead now." He spoke in a hostile voice towards the Takikage. "I must thank you all though... for if he had gotten his hands on me even more before you stepped in... I wouldn't be amongst you all any longer, sadly." He said as his Henge returned to his form, looking as he always did. "However... I would like you all to keep my true form secretive... There are not many of my Kekkei Genkai... and there are those who... dislike my kind. If word were to get out of my... abilities. Those people may seek me out and I wish never to have to deal with those insidious creatures again." He said, turning towards the door for an exit.

"It was a shame we couldn't meet on... better terms. But when such things become public knowledge, one is to assume that a foolhardy shinobi would intrude. I shall keep in contact with you all in the near future, hopefully. Goodbye." He stated as he left the meeting area and headed towards the gates.

Of course she had noticed the Tsuchikage leave, her aides leaving too although she had noticed one leave first before the Lady herself, she had bowed in turn in a polite and gratious manner, glad that she had met her. "It's been nice meeting you, Tsuchikage-San!" she'd speak to her before her leave in somewhat adorable tone, but serious at the same time.

But of course, the matter of the Kazekage..
She couldn't help but watch of course as the Sand man seemed to form himself, building up up up of what appeared to be.. sand of course. By now he looked less like a pile of sand or dust, and morso like a brief model of a human without any large details. This couldn't possibly be his true form, but then again he probably had some kind of disguise, maybe. Perhaps the heat of battle had worn him down somewhat, thus diminishing his cover? As her title was called by the Kazekage himself, of course, still watching as he formed, there was no need to turn her head towards him, words of apology to be spoken from the black hole which seemed to be his mouth.
"I must thank you for apologizing over your people, although I must too apologize for anything that Konohagakure might have done to effect your country, Kazekage-San." The next part he would say would bring somewhat of a smile to her lips as she'd nod her head. "Of course. Although.. the leaders of the hidden villages might not agree on random violent attacks, we can never truly control our citizens to the absoulete as so to say. And it's too nice to know that people are willing to sort out differences through spoken word and not senseless beating."

And then it appeared as if he was asking a favour of all who was present, to keep his other form, which to her she figured was the sand figure that he seemed to be made of originally, his features now coming to the surface as she'd look at his hair which had now formed atop his head, his mouth now less of a black void and now more like any other humanoid mouth. She'd nod her head to that, agreeing on his favour, as she'd then notice him get up, and leave.
So, was it time for Konoha to leave the scene too?

The Amekage, Kazekage and Tsuchikage had left, only leaving her and the Takikage. Turning towards Takeshi and Ichijin, she would nod her head, before turning back to the Mist Sannin, and then back to Iizuka. "It's been a pleasure meeting you both, and I do hope that as others have said, if we are to meet again, that it hopefully would go better than this one has, lest what happened here repeat. " And with those words, she'd bow to both the Sannin and to the Takikage. "Takeshi, Ichijin, we'll be departing now."

With words spoken, the Hokage would then speak a last; "Goodbye!" before leaving the scene.

[Hasta la Vista, Kirigakure! Exit]

[roko]

Transgressions were silent, void of sound in every aspect as he would break off and turn to follow his lady hokage. Orbs of ghostly white were not unaware of any action that may have stirred while they would make their exit, they were keen as could be as the task at hand, as his objective of ensuing her safety had still stood upon this planet, as soon as they would return would such a mission finally lay to rest.

Time to roll out.

"Sannin-sama, please forgive the transgressions and troubles caused here today. I hope, like all the others, that we can meet on better terms in the future." The Aburame would bow for a moment, hands clasped together in respect. Standing up, he would smile, nod, and begin to make his exit. Removing his Kage garments to reveal his normal clothing beneath, he would pick up pace, running in a hurry to make it back to his village. He would turn around swiftly for a moment, shouting: "Be sure to alert Takigakure of the bill! The money will be sent, I assure you!"

With that, he would exit the grounds. It was time to get back home.

[ Exit. ]

[—suzaku.]

Moments after the last of the outsiders left, the Sannin stepped back into the shadows; he, too, made his departure from the tower, to attend to other affairs.
