[Event]Meeting Point [Mo]

[Ancestor Febrie]

A few tents stood up at a least expected place around the village, on the back side, most shinobi aiding Mo will come this way by boat provided inside their country for fast travel and to avoid the front lines of Take assault. If anyone looked up, they would see Mo looking down on them. The high waves were hitting hard on the beach washing in occasional whales like right now, the stench will keep everyone at the tents awake for some time.

Though the sea and beaches would be a great attraction, this time of a year wasn't suitable for any swimming, anyone attempting such would soon find they aren't hardy. Five tents stood in a nice square formation with one tent in the center, it was marked with a red cross. The next tents marked the armory, pet kennels, mess hall and a tactical command center.

Each tent had two guards dressed in nothing but snow white light cloaks with the matching color short pants, despite the cold weather they didn't seemed to be bothered at all and they would stare at anyone just passing by ready to strike with their silver sparkling spears.

[enter]

Rheo staggered forward a little bit when the boat slammed up against shore, noting that it was a bit of a rough landing. He had made sure to stuff his butt bag full of shuriken and kunai and had sharpened his blade before coming. He also had the ten sharpened poles from his training a few days beforehand under his left arm, almost hitting his sword. They almost caught against the black button up robe he was wearing over his torn black shirt and brown pants. He had on his custom sandles that were cut off halfway up to his knee, right in the middle of his shins. The robe's hood was up, and the long sleeves would hide whatever jutsu that he had to use hand seals for. He would use them to fight if the armory didn't have what he wanted. Or if they wouldn't give him what he wanted. Rheo didn't wait for the unloading platform to be lowered to the sandy beach, choosing instead to jump and roll into the landing off of the ship. The camp was scattered, a few tents here and there. A few soldiers were running back and forth, with some guards standing outside the tents that were there. Rheo assumed that the rest of the shinobi were to meet here along with maybe a small portion of Mo's military to brief them on the situation. Rheo could feel the tension in the air, what with the siege and all. Rheo had heard that both the soldiers of Take and Mo were skilled in either ninjutsu or taijutsu, with their leaders skilled in both. Rheo kicked himself mentally, not forgiving himself for not learning any genjutsu other than the academy techniques.

Rheo took note on how the snow was causing a bunch of noise, making stealth nearly impossible. It coated the bottom two feet of his robe and made his feet nearly frozen. Hopefully there was a katon user than could help warm the place up somewhere around here, but if not then he hoped even greater that he didn't get frostbite. Rheo shook his right arm, knocking the snow loose off of most of his robe. The white stood in direct contrast to the black of his robe, making him an easy target on the battlefield.

Rheo walked into camp, wondering if the other shinobi had done the same as him or had waited for the platform. Either way, Rheo was the first shinobi in camp now and he made straight for the armory tent. He walked up to the guards with a serious expression. "I need the lightest spears you have, whether they be javelins or short spears, and I need as many as the wind can carry." He said. He awaited their response, hoping that they would give him what they want.

[Ancestor Febrie]

A 12 year old Mo guard was standing at the armory tent when certain shinobi looking strange came to ask for a spear or a few javelins. The guard looked inside and mumbled something then turned towards the shinobi "You can have one spear or 15 javelins, it's your choice so make it count mister." The situation was that they were needing more weapons then they could deliver at this time around. The guard looked more around to see if any more shinobi were thinking as this one but it looked like there weren't many to speak of, their situation looked grim. The battle will start at any moment and this is all they have as support? The man prayed to the Duchess to save their souls.

[rheo]

Rheo considered how he was going to fight in the upcoming battle, then made his choice. "Easy. Fifteen javelins should do it." Rheo said. Then he yawned and stretched, wondering what was taking the other ninja so long to get here. It was kind of a piss off to be honest, as if he was the only one fighting for Mo it would either be an extremely difficult battle or he'd just say screw it and retreat. "Oh, would you be able to spare another ammo bag aside from the one the javelins come with?" He asked, adjusting the poles still under his arm.

[Ancestor Febrie]

The shinobi chose to take the javelins and asked if he could take something to carry it with him into battle. The guard thought for a moment "Sure, it comes with it." it's not like they would miss the bag, more like it would just take up more space than usual. Someone from afar sounded a trumpet, after that the ground shook a bit and kept increasing in intensity "Ah, our glorious battle formations." said the now very happy and dreamy face of the guard. The battle starts very soon.

[Takeo]

[Enter]

Off in the distance, Takeo could see the village dawning over him. It was an interesting sight to behold, considering he had never visited the place before. He smiled softly, realizing that he wished he had come here under better circumstances. Just then, a snowflake landed on the Uchiha's bare arm. His eyes winced as he realized how unprepared he was for the location. When he would get ashore, the first question he would ask would be, "Could I have a cloak, robe or something to help me out with the cold?"

The ninja realized how little foreign support there was so far. He sighed, pulling out his headband and grasping it tightly. "This is all we have, huh?" he inquired, whipping on his headband and securing it. "Still, I hope I'm right when I say that the Leaf is with us."

[rheo]

Rheo smiled and went inside the tent then searched for the javelins. He found them and took two ammo bags, slinging one over each shoulder and then loaded the one over his right arm with javelins, while the one on the left was filled with his home made sharp poles. Rheo walked out of the tent just in time to hear the trumpet and the guard say something about formations. Then he noticed the one other ninja, and he was wearing a leaf headband. Rheo had his on his left bicep underneath his robe, his off hand. He didn't wear it on his forehead because he didn't like the way it felt, but he nonetheless approached the fellow leaf ninja. He strolled up to him and smiled, holding his hand out for a greeting.

"Hello, I'm Rheo. May the Leaf be with and watch over you." He said in greeting. Rheo looked the man up and down, remembering many distinct characteristics. His brother had taught him many things about the clans of the Leaf, and he deduced that this was most likely a Uchiha. Waiting for a return greeting, Rheo would then ask what level sharingan he had unlocked so far.

((I mean that when the greeting is returned, he asks that right off the bat as the curious sort that he is.))

[Takeo]

Small talk was not on the top of Takeo's agenda, at least in this situation. It served no important purpose and could even prove to be a distraction. If he happened to befriend anyone on a mission, there would always be the danger of them dying. That would certainly be a shame, which is why work is often left as work in this ninja's world.

Still, it would be rude to deny the newcomer conversation. "Hello, you can call me Takeo," he replied, reaching forward to accept the handshake. It shocked him, however, when this stranger seemed to know about his bloodline. After the massacre, a Uchiha should be a rare and unexpected clan, not one that you could pick out. At least, that's how Takeo interpreted it. "I'm afraid I haven't unlocked the power of my eyes yet. In fact, I might be unable to; not every Uchiha can use the Sharingan."

There was a little shame in admitting that. He knew the truth, and yet he wanted that power if he could have it. On the other hand, he questioned himself mentally why he would even admit to his bloodline. He hated association, and not having the Sharingan meant that no one could ever prove it.

[Coal]

"So this is the Camp."

Ryu walked into the camp, not a drop of sweat on him from their run, coupled with the colder winds that blew in from the ocean on this side of Hi no Kuni. Tents and Kennels, whales seemed to be washed up on the shores of the beach, but the men and women of the camp did not seem to notice. They wore their startling white, but he could not judge them for how they dressed, because he was no better. Purple pants, a white shirt, black shoes, along with a spear and sword in their respective places. His butt pack was still full of all his secondary items and tools, while a bottle of sake hung opposite his sword. Only a few other Shinobi were present, it seemed, and both wore the headbands of Konohagakure no Sato. These battle lines did not seem very prepared...

[Camus Comprix]

Arriving at the meeting point where he was told to go. Never had retracted his wings, that he had used to get there.  Seeing two leaf ninja and one sand Nin. 'IS this all that all of Mo's allies could come up with?' Lucas thought, while walking over to the armory hoping to arm himself with some weapons. Probably, some explosive tags he could wrap around an weapon before launching it. Looking at the twelve year old boy, "Do you guys have any explosive tags and some shuriken? And an umbrella?" He says to the young man. Smiling slightly, Lucas was wearing his mask which earned him the nickname color That an white buttoned up shirt and an leather jacket surrounding that. With dark navy blue jeans, which was close to black. Forgetting to retract his wings, he quickly does so now.

[Matsu]

"Things aren't looking good."

Saeko said as she strolled into the camp. She had a look around for herself before coming here to the camp. There were few soldiers and even fewer Shinobi who seemed to have shown up to their S.O.S. This was going to be quite a battle, that was for sure, though now that she saw the odds she knew for sure she would have been a monster to have left them to their own devices. Looking to Ryu, she nodded her head slowly. "I guess this is it. I wasn't greeted by anyone on the way in." she said, looking around for a moment as if worried.

Her fears were put to rest however as she saw others milling about the camp, she had though that perhaps they were a bit too late. At a glance she could see that a few of them were from Konoha, not surprising as they were just right around the mountain somewhere, she figured. However none of them seemed to be very old, once more bringing a frown to her face. She was once more the eldest Shinobi present for now, which meant she would be fighting along side children, teenagers. While she knew that their strength was not to be understimated, she was more worried about their maturity and mental growth.

Exposing them to war was terrible, even if they were used to the violence of this world, war changed people. On top of that, teenagers were brash, and felt that they had alot to prove. She would be damned if she let any of them die in the field for something as stupid as ego. She would put her foot down the moment they were briefed on the situation, assuming she got the chance. Looking to her own escorts, Saeko nodded once to each of them in turn. "You are not under any circumstances to throw away your life needlessly if the battle it's self does not serve a higher purpose. I know battle lust can overcome even the best of us." she said, sighing.

"If it doesn't save someone else, throwing away ones life is meaningless anyay."

[Jimarai Kotetsu]

With his hands in the pockets of his long black trench coat, Jimarai would stroll up the mountain to the village atop, careful of the enemy camp somewhere nearby, and put more on edge by the sound of a trumpet. The Iwa shinobi did not arrive by boat like the others, but had come at double time across the land, only half a day's journey to help their allies.

Ryu was somewhere ahead, and making their own way into the camp Jimarai and Saeko would start to assess the camp.

Few tents ... few shinobi ... few young kids ... should be fan-fucking-tastic then ...

[/right]

Jim wasn't one to run from a fight, but he saw a tactical withdrawal on the cards as it stood at the moment. As an ex kage and with the current Tsuchikage, he still wasn't sure that quality would overcome quantity.

Listening to his Kage's speech on throwing away life he would nod to her. " Of course not my Lady ... We are not here to die, but to fight another dayand ensure our allies are to fight another day as well."[/color]

Patting himself down again he would do a final check of weapons; his Tachi still holstered at his side and his weapon pouch seemed as full as when he left with the half a dozen kunai, 9 shuriken, 12 exploding tags, and 2 smoke grenades. Leaning up against the fortifications, Jim would start to tie 6 of his exploding tags to his kunai, ready for the impending battle, and awaiting the moment when they would fall out.

He would see a few Konoha shinobi and ignore them. As far as Jimarai was concerned they weren't friends of Stone, more like long time enemies; but he would work with them to save their friends in Mo - no more ... no less.

[Takeo]

It warmed Takeo's heart and eased his mind to see more ninja joining him and the other Leaf ninja. If it was just the two of them, they could have been easily wiped out. One of them even had wings, which was rather interesting. "I have some of the stuff you're looking for," the Uchiha noted, even though he wasn't the one particularly addressed. "However, you'll have to convince me to just give you my belongings. Make a good case and they're yours. Money also works."

However, he also soon realized where some of these people were from. Judging by the way some were interacting, the adult woman seemed to be rather important. He couldn't come to any conclusions past that, but he knew she had to be at least a jounin, giving that speech. "Hey," he announced, mainly to the ones from Stone, "I just want to get this out of the way: you promise to get my back and you have my word too. Our villages may not have the best history, but I have nothing personal against you and we are on the same team for this mission."

He really hoped this proposition would work; he'd rather not die getting back-stabbed. Still, judging by what one of them said, everyone seemed to be on board already. Wouldn't hurt to reinforce loyalty, though. "I think we should go over our basic capabilities," he said, pondering why he was even taking initiative on this matter. Oh well, things needed to be done; most of them, including him, were rather late. "My strongest trait is ninjutsu, so I believe I should stay behind and launch fireballs or whatnot at their equipment."

[rheo]

Rheo had been thinking of a way to put how he knew of the Uchiha, but before he could say it a bunch of other shinobi showed up, relieving his ever growing sense of dread and worry from the lack of them there had been before. Rheo noted that he needed to say something to the Uchiha later, maybe after the prep and battle, but for now he headed towards the one who made the speech about throwing away lives. Stopping about four feet short of her he furrowed his brow and quickly observed her. She was a powerful ninja, that was for sure. Even the newest academy student could see that, but just how strong. Rheo bit his lip and ran through his mental list of kages that his brother had drilled into his head before he died, then the correct title came to mind.

"You are the current Tsuchikage, Saeko..." He said a little loud and to himself. He then looked over to the one who looked a bit spiteful and thought again. He appeared powerful as well, but he wasn't anyone Rheo readily recognized. But he seemed to know the Tsuchikage, so he assumed they were from the same village. Rheo decided to assume that he was maybe a B-rank ninja, or a C-rank. Of course, he wasn't always right. Turning his attention to the Tsuchikage, Rheo cleared his throat.

"I'm Rheo, a Konoha shinobi!" He announced. He held his hand out, hoping she would take it just as the Uchiha had done earlier. But who knows, maybe she was the type that thought herself superior to everybody because of rank.

[Dvinelegacy]

[Enter]

Making his way to the top, Kai would hope this would clear some things up, as mysterious things have been happening around him, with his leader heading off without him, and a not to questionable encounter with a flying man. Nonetheless less, he followed the man to this very spot, which seemed filled with tents, other ninja's. He cautiously continues to walk towards the people, spotting the man he saw flying before, he gradually makes his way to him.

"Well, seems I caught up with you, you know, you could have stopped and helped me out.."

Looking past the man, he saw the other ninja's, some different villages then others. They didn't look shady, so the thought of some evil going down was eliminated, so he just ignored them, reaching his attention to the man once again.

"Well, more importantly, whats going on around here?"

[/i][/size][/font]

[Camus Comprix]

"Wait, whuuuuuuuttt?" I say in an tone which was unfamiliar to himself. "Look, guy... Wait a moment...." I said ,while remembering an ninja climbing up the mountain. "Oh your, that guy! Sorry, I didn't notice you where a fellow cloudian!" I said, while scratching the back of my head,While noticing his headband, having a few nervous chuckles. "What's going on? A war! That's what, We're protecting Mo hfrom the invading forces of take." I said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world... How could anyone, not know this was a war site? The tents.. The armory, the ninjas. "Who are you? I'm Lucas Kazeraikou." I state with a smile holding my hand out.  Awaiting a firm handshake

[Coal]

[I'm technically being ignored, which is fine by me. Don't wait for me to post, as I'm just milling about. When I have something to say, I'll pop back in.]

[Dvinelegacy]

The man seemed to be confused about there meeting, but then soon remembers spotting Kai, that makes him feel at least reassuring. He didn't notice that the he was also a member of the cloud village, this made the topic of getting to know each other easier. More importantly, he must know the way home from here, that means sticking with him would come in handy, plus it seems that this group needs an extra hand. The man begins talking about how there is a war to protect the village. This thought made kai's decision to stay even greater.

"Well, it seems like you are in need of another man here, id be happy to help in anyway I can.

He greeted Lucas with a handshake back, he seemed like a fair man, but there was still much to be learned from the people around them both. Kai backed away from Lucas and announced to the people around him.

"Hello everyone! The name is Kai Revilu.

[/font]

[Matsu]

Saeko nodded, pleased that they seemed to be understanding. She didn't wish to order them about if she didn't have to. Figuring they knew how to handle and conduct themselves for now she remained silent, going over the situation in her head. She had seen Jim's abilities on a mission, but she knew little of Ryu and Sai. This troubled her, though she knew that Ryu would not have been brought along with Flower if he wasn't more than capable of stopping the three of them at the meeting. There was at the very least, some sense of satisfaction with that. "Until we figure out what it is we're to do here, you're dismissed to fr-" she started, before being interupted.

A couple of Konoha shinobi, one of them worried about betrayal from the sounds of it. There was a smirk, which was quickly followed by a laugh. There would be no such treachery from Tsuchi, as she believed in fair play. However she would not outright tell him that either, as it might make them think that they could get away with it themselves. Keeping that smile on her face, she simply shook her head. "You're right, we're not on the best terms, from what I can remember. But we're here to aid Mo, not pick a fight with Konoha." she said, scoffing at the idea that they would be so petty during this villages time of need.

"We'll need information from scouts before we know what we're dealing with, then we can figure out a plan." she said, showing no signs of allowing him to know what it was she was best at yet. Looking around for a moment, she pointed to one of the guards in the Mo camp, seeking to gain his attention. "You, who is in charge here? I would love to get some details regarding what is going on, enemy movement, preferably as soon as possible." she said, shifting her gaze back to the Konoha shinobi. "We might as well see what they know, first." she said, taking charge of the situation since it seemed no one asked.

Looking at the other Konoha shinobi's hand for a moment, she paused, wondering if she should shake it or not. It wasn't really proper, was it? She offered him a smile, but not her hand. In her head doing so meant they were equals and while some day that might be true today was not that day. "Noted, Rheo." she replied, at least acknowledging the fact that she paid attention to his introduction.

[rheo]

Rheo sighed at the kage, not caring if it was disrespectful or not. If she was so proud she wouldn't shake the hand of a team mate, then she deserved none of his respect regardless of rank. He turned to the Uchiha and coughed. "My brother taught me about the various major clans of Konoha. The Uchiha are among those, but more for the amount of respect they derive from their past generations." Rheo said. He looked around and found a ninja in purple pants, which caught his interest. Rheo looked at the kage and frowned.

"I only give my name to people who look like they should get respect. Regardless of your rank, we are all people. Un note it, Saeko." He said somewhat coldly. Then he turned his back to her and walked towards the shinobi with purple pants. When he got in front of him, he sighed. "Let's hope you're a tad bit more respectful. Anyways, I'm Rheo and I have to say that I like your pants. Very odd color." He said, holding his hand out in the hopes that this ninja would actually take it.
