Kusagakure Gates

What a strange request.

But at the same time -- why come to Kusagakure if one wanted to find out exactly what had happened to their village? The guard, somewhat bemused by his question simply continued to look over at him with his masked visage. "..I don't doubt that the entire world has heard of the attack upon for your home; and whilst we in Kusagakure want nothing more than your village to overcome the destruction that the attack brought, we know nothing more than the rest of the world." It was common knowledge that the village had been attacked a few weeks ago, but the identity of the people involved was yet to be known and named. If there was any information in regards to who they were, then it would already have been leaked, surely. "And coming in to line with that, Lady Kusakage knows nothing more than you or I on the matter. Have you tried speaking to your own village leader?" He inquired, the soulless eyes of his ANBU mask staring directly at the man as he spoke, waiting for his response. It was understandable -- she hadn't been there during the time of the attack, and from what the ANBU had been told by her, the Raikage had also told her that he was unsure on the identity of the attackers. Perhaps it was still a mystery. Despite the close relationship that Kumogakure had to Kusagakure, neither of the villages seemed to know exactly who had been the cause of the violent attack upon the former. Perhaps it would never be solved.

"..I'd assume that you'd be able to get the information you need from the people who witnessed the attack."

"--- Wait, Raikage, as in plural? Another has fallen?"

How very curious.

[Jinsoku]

The ANBU wasn’t in the position to ask questions, but he would receive an answer. “Well, with all my leaders dropping like flies, it’s hard to meet with one of them.” My tone was a bit sarcastic, yet it held truth. I really didn’t have the chance to speak with any of the Raikage. Ever since the recent killings, the position has been passed around like candy. With Kusagakure being one of our allies, I was almost expecting them to grant me entrance. “Out of all the people I questioned, most of them said the same thing that I heard through word of mouth.” I stared even deeper into the eyes of the man attempting to intimidate me. “The individuals who attacked my village had their identities concealed.” I raised my arms as he asked his last question, pointing my index finger at him. “Another…has indeed fallen.” With my brief pause before delivering my final words, I fired off a beam of lightning at the torso of the man. He was middle distanced, but had the option to dodge. Regardless, reaching into my satchel as I completed my sentence, moving forward toward the gates, I was prepared to make my next move.

The information I had to provide wouldn’t be as shocking as they wanted it to be, but they’ be able to deal with it.

That's when I prepped my jutsu. Also, I notified a moderated that I did this.

OOC: Going to step in here to correct one minor detail. Take into consideration that the Mount Event is still taking place, the ones who killed the potential 4th Raikage had no idea he was a Raikage, no announcement of his death was made, and Jinsoku was not there to witness it. Therefore, Jinsoku cannot know of his demise. It's imperative to my own plot as Raikage to make that announcement, therefore, consider this fact omitted from your posts.

Unfortunately, despite the Mount Event currently happening, once it's over, the death of the Raikage will be announced, and this would end up happening anyways (given this takes place after that). With that being said, it shouldn't be omitted. But if it you're really going to dictate what I can and can't do, at least take into consideration that everything that occurs here on NRP is in chronological order.

Your character (Jinshoku) wouldn't know this, one being a low-leveled Genin and two not even being apart of the event. His character is going to make the announcement himself, being the succeeding leader, and things will proceed from there. Carry on.

[OOC: Your attempt at an attack has been voided, and the OOC notice above applies, so I'm continuing as if you only referred to Vega's death, and only spoke, without the physical movements that incurred the attack.]

"..I apologize, but your matter concerns your own village."
"Kusagakure, its leader and its people bear no knowledge past your own."

The ANBU repeated as the man seemed to gain the full attention of a few of the other many ANBU patrolling the gates as his request was politely declined. It was a matter that didn't directly concern Kusagakure - whilst it was dedicated to helping its ally back on its feet after the ill-fated attack, where the matter of the death involved, with Kusagakure being such a long distance away from Kumo, even if there were to be advancements on the matter, then they'd be one of the last to hear about it, even with its close friendship with the village. With the doors of the village still firmly shut, the man, having been subject to the words of the ANBU, was suggested to return back to his home village in search of the truth about the death of his Raikage in the recent attack.

Jae: Pretty much; I said Pwn has no knowledge to even be starting a fight.

[Jinsoku]

His apology didn’t matter, and regardless of whether Kusagakure had past information or not, which I’m sure they did given the alliance between them and my village, his blatant lie incited me to want to kill him. I could care less if they had one guard or one thousand of them, if they stood in his way of figuring the killer of the 4th Raikage, they would be taken down. There was one person who knew the truth, and I would speak to them. Rotating toward the direction I came from, I took my leave, but marks my words, I will be back.

"Hmph."

A MALICIOUS SPIRIT STOOD BEFORE KUSAGAKURE!

We had stood ten meters away from the very gates of Kusagakure, Ji and I. I stood proud, and confidently, with my right fist rested against my hip. The smirk that had crept upon my face was radiating, after our long travel here, we had finally made it to our destination, the Village Hidden in the Grass—Kusagakure. And, it was here that I would be able to take the first step toward my plans. 

I turned my head to look at Ji before I proceeded to advance toward the gates, after giving him a nod. “Here we come, Kusagakure.” I spoke in a calm baritone level, though my words had carried my confidence and power behind them. I would now stand about a meter away from the door; the Yonbi had begun to swell up with excitement.

---

NOTES: 

1. We are entering the gates as no one was here, so Pwn and the ANBU wouldn't be here around the time Ji and I arrived. So, just think of it as starting from a clean slate. This is the attire he will be sporting.
   

[Messatsu!]

Although the journey and search for Kusagakure hadn't been anything overly arduous, it consumed more than enough time to warrant a relieving sigh as he remained side-by-side with Yokumaru once the duo approached the towering gates. Ji cut a quick second glance towards Yokumaru's direction before looking back at the gate itself, wondering -like a child- just what laid behind its thick walls, slums, utopia, or even just mediocre, whatever it'd been, he wanted to know as soon as possible. Heeding Yoku's short comment, Ji lofted a brow and questioned his intentions yet again as it sounded more hostile than it did anything else. Regardless, under an agreement, he remained by his side patiently waiting for his own opportunity.

"So this is it huh, not what I imaged in my head on the way here."

[KEITH]

Standing before the large gates, I brought up my left hand, proceeding to knock upon the gate. It was quite comical in a way, but with each knock, the gate would shake terrifyingly. It had been the aided strength of the Yonbi which had made me so strong. Surely these knocks wouldn’t go unnoticed by the ANBU or Gate Guards of the village.

With three knocks, I ceased my actions, waiting for something to, but if nothing were to happen soon—“I think I will have to blow the gates down.” I was curt, and I didn’t mind causing a bit of destruction if I could. The chakra of the Yonbi’s begun to boil within, almost at the point of erupting with enough power to completely decimate the gates.

[Messatsu!]

Intently, Ji watched Yokumaru as he stepped forward even closer to Kusgakure's gates and knocked three times with thunderous booms scream out across the area as a testament to the Duo's arrival. Blow the gates down? For a moment, Ji's eyes widened in surprise from the words that escaped Yoku's parted lips, perhaps Ji underestimated Yoku's level of patience, but even so, at that point they progressed so far that backing out hadn't even remotely been an option.

"You sure you want to bust down those gates when you've got no idea whats behind them? "

Once spoken, he remained by Yoku, ready and alert while hoping someone actually answered their call for attention.

[Bit]

“Damn I thought Gate duties were for the Chunnin ANBU.”

Sy mused to himself as he leaned back in a chair sitting across a table from two other lower Ranked ANBU guards, both of the men slightly older than him would laugh giggle to themselves as they continue to play cards. The night had been fairly quite as it usually was in around the gates of Kusagakure, there wasn’t many people who actually had the gull to attack the village. ‘Ahhh Blanche has been low balling me lately.’ He thought to himself as he continued to lean back in his chair while he watched his comrades play cards. Sy continued to muse to himself while he mumbled a song to himself.

“All this money and the money is the motive.”

‘BOOM BOOM.’

“What the fuck was that?”

Sy would say as his head snap towards the gates, the sound of them being pounded on had rattled the whole building. The Jounnin would look to his team before they had all jumped into action, moving swiftly they exited the door that lead them out into the city. As they turned to the gate they would catch glimpse of the final knock rattling the entire gates. ‘Ok so I guess we got some braves ones.’ He thought as his began to shake left and right, ‘I hope it’s not an army.’ He ‘d think as he began to scale the gates themselves as quietly as possible with his team only a couple steps behind him. Once they arrived to the top he’d pear down at the base of the gate expecting to see an army but only seen two men, Sy’s eyebrow rose as he knew what it was and wasn’t sure who or why this person would be here at Kusagakure gates. Sy and his team wouldn’t proceed any further at the moment but remained poise to react at any moment.

“Ah hoy, what’s up with the hostile knocks? Do we owe you some money something?”

Sy would saying jokingly though he had a sense of seriousness in his voice, his wasn’t to sure about what was about to go down at this point. But he knew the guy that had been standing at the base of the gate had some strength behind him, as my eyes shifted to the man that accompanied him I wonder for a moment.   ‘Ehh this is touché, I’m not sure what I’ll do if I have to fight this guy. But for Kusagakure I gotta at least try.’ He thought to himself as his eyes remained locked on the duo below him, his team remained by his side without a word to speak.

[KEITH]

Just as Ji had reminded me that I didn’t know what was behind the guys, I thought to myself for a brief moment, it didn’t matter. As I came to my conclusion, three ANBU members appeared, and as the one who would have been in the forefront of the trio talked, I had ignored him for a moment. It didn’t matter what was behind the door because everything that I did was dangerous, and every second that pasted as more dangerous than the last. I smirked as I had turned toward the direction of the three ANBU members; of course they had to be none other than Kusagakure’s own shinobi.

“Ah, dogs of Kusagakure, you have finally arrived. I was wondering when you all would stop freckling in the grass and come confront us.” My smirk had been devilish, and my chocolate eyes had locked onto the ANBU trio, not taking in any specific part of their appearance, but their entire beings as a whole. My eyes would shift over to Ji and then back to the trio. “I have come here to seek an audience with the Kusakage, I have something I wish to tell her,”

My right hand rested upon my hip, balled into a fist as I looked down upon the trio. “And it concerns the future of Kusagakure.” I delivered the final message with a malicious tone. The wicked spirit before Ji and the ANBU had been performing a brilliant dance, figuratively. The excitement swelling up within me was overwhelming. All I could think about is what was going to happen next.

[Bit]

As the man that had been closes to the gates of his village spoke Sy’s eyes beneath his mask would redirect back on to him. ‘Oh word?’ He thought to himself as the man began to speak, the man’s confident tone while he spoke was nothing less than expected. The visitor’s words had effectively rubbed Kaze the wrong way; it was somewhat of an insult to his village in his mind. ‘Freckling in the grass?’ He thought for a mere moment while he listened to the rest of the man’s speech. The way that he spoke was quite irritating to the Jounnin because it he felt as if the dark haired man had been speaking in a condescending tone. Sy’s arms would cross over his chest as he listened to the rest of the visitor’s speech. ‘Concerning the future of Kusagakure?’ he thought for a moment while he stared down upon the man from the top of the gates.

‘Oh boy.’ He thought for a moment while his mind ran through a couple of situations that could take place at this very moment. He couldn’t help but to get a malicious vibe off of his oppositions person, Sy just felt it in his gut that he wasn’t hear for any good reason. As he uncrossed his arms allowing them to fall to his side he’d look to the man’s accomplice once more before looking back to him.

“Well I don’t think the Kusakage is welcome to entertaining your audience at the moment soo I’m gonna say that meeting probably won’t happen. But your information about the future of my village you can leave with me and it will surely get back to the Kusakage before the day is over….. You feel me?”

Sy’s words would come out a bit muffled under his mask as he spoke, though his tone still carried a sense of confidence behind it. His body remained poised ready to react to whatever situation that went down at these gates, but he would only hope that it wouldn’t escalate to anything he couldn’t handle. His fellow ANBU brothers standing just behind him to his left and right stood in the same manner as he did, they remained focused without a sign of fear showing in there person while they kept their eyes on the men that had arrived at their gates.

[KEITH]

The forefront ANBU affiliate crossed his arms as I had spoken, I could feel something inside of him stirring up after having a bad taste in his mouth after I had spoken. I was able to feel what he was feeling, but it wasn’t like I could predict what he would do or say. I only had this ability due to the Yonbi within me, allowing me to feel the feelings of others, and with what he had been giving me, I could only smile. My arms crossed over my chest as I heard him beginning to speak, looking up at him upon the gate. 

It made me feel as if he had some power over me, but in reality, no one did. I was evil, an entity that would never die, living out all of eternity spreading its influence. Luckily for me, if I had ever lost this body, it was only one of many vassals I could possess or did possess at the time. I had taken in the male ANBU’s speech, I begun to chuckle a bit at his words. It was quite funny to think that I couldn’t get an audience with the Kusakage. 

Surely if I had truly wanted to, I go just transform into the Yonbi and ravage Kusagakure until I had found her. But, that was a bit extreme for my liking—besides, I had all the time in the world to spread these malicious feelings which were built up within me. Everyone who would be affected by my evil seeding would become my children, and with every new child, I would become larger. I was like thethousand winds that embraced this world. 

I smiled playfully at the ANBU officer, and with it, a dark and horrific aura would spread out and engulf the entire area with my dreadful spirit. It was funny how I could appear to be so playful on the outside, like if I was some sort of kid, but on the inside, I had been pushing out the devil from within me into a physical manifestation which mankind had ever seen. 

“Well, if you say so, Mr. ANBU-dog. This does put a wrench into my plans, but oh well. Always have to adapt, right? Anyway, I want you to tell the Kusakage that—one day, perhaps sooner than later, darkness will fall upon Kusagakure and the other villages of the world. I am only just a messenger of this though, so I am just playing my own little role. Take these words with caution or not.” 

I said, as I continued to hold the playful smile upon my face. The tone of my voice didn’t carry as much confidence as before, this time, it carried the tone that a hell bringer would. The aura I emitted was one that anyone could tell that I was a man who had surely been up to no good, or at least was a very bad man. With my message conveyed, the playful smile disappeared, and the smirk submerged once again as I watched them with confident eyes.
