same old song, part one.

[minakami shū]

the same old song,

There was suspicion in the air as the new Tsuchikage escorted the Tennō into his village with a handful of ANBU from either nation - nothing drastic or to cause offense however. The duo would continue their journey until reaching the the Kage Tower, where an assembly would be gathered of the remaining active personnel of the nation - which seemed to be an incredible lack due to the former Tsuchikage's reckless war that ended the lives of ninety percent of ninja loyal to her. They were idiotic to think they could stand up to Gato-kun, or the family in general.

Within the hour, people would begin to arrive. Though the Tsuchikage sat within his chair before the masses that would cluster in the spacious room, the shadowy figure stood behind him - red eyes vivid from the cast shadow of the room; evening setting in as darkness poured into the dimly lit room. Iwagakure had scarcely been affected by any 'new' wars, and the current Tsuchikage was desperate to keep it such. It was a contract with the devil - an ironic twist to the Minakami (meaning: All (of the) Gods) that their liege was nicknamed the Devil King due to his ruthlessness and endless ambition.

Due to the shadow cast over the top of his frame from where he stood behind the Tsuchikage, it would be difficult to make out anything but his white hair and red eyes peering at the group; chakra almost non-existent due to a constant suppression that kept him under the radar. He was an enigma to all, a wild card that had no limitation. But just seeing him there, eyes colored blood, was enough to make more than a few shinobi entering the 'meeting' have a number of chills prickling at their necks. He stood motionless, alert, with his right hand tucked into the inner flap of his robe, left hand lifeless as it rested at his side.

It has only been a few days since his coronation.

iwagakure shinobi meeting!!
all are encouraged to join in this plot!

[Fresco]

Finally, after days of travelling they finally reached their destination, Iwagakure. The village was weakened greatly due to the stupid decisions of the earlier Tsuchikage forcing him to quickly ally himself with another village that could assist him in strength. Entering through the gates, they created a large crowd of people who observed Sound ninja's every movement. They were paranoid due to the earlier antics, something that didn't surprise Genjiiro, it actually motivated him in strengthening his defenses against attacks.

Finally reaching the Kage's office (still going through with its remodelling) with painting and other machinery scattered across the spacious room. The new Tsuchikage took a seat on his throne, with Shu right behind him. The room was occupied with mostly the Sound ANBU that accompanied their Kage, it was disappointing to see none of his shinobi in the room. He would motion for one of his ANBU to come near him.

"Bring me Araki, Miyuki, and even Bass if you can find him."
