Grim had his day off or more like another day off. When he heard the about a group gathering being bored he went to see if he could find xuba maybe talk more about the puppet he broke. When he arrived he heard the great ape roar. None of my business though valen should have it under control. He heard peoples reason for being here so complex but that was when he heard xuba. So he approached and said ¨hello it seems we have met again the winds of fate have arrived though not with the fight we had thought of.¨

{Fuck off with the fate bullshit and talk about the puppet get the drama here}

´Akihisa is now ignoring you' Akihisa would say in a girl voice to the ring. ´My mindset my rules he would think to himself´

He would then say ¨So your here to spectate the majestic beast¨

Well then i have never heard of a gigantic ape but there are summons but i have never heard of a 5 tailed ape and how did it get in with kyousuke stopping it? Ah whatever he was just here to watch.

This was also good inspiration he did have a tailed puppet what about one with 4 tails oh and maybe flamethrowers he was almost giddy with excitement as he stood there calmly and watched.

It was another day on the Hoshigakure training grounds. Hikari had been training some children on how to throw Kunai, (Not that she was the best choice for that, but the students felt special getting such personalized help.) when a chunin came up to her and told her that everyone was being evacuated form the fields.

When asked, what was going on, the shinobi would explain that Kyousuke Snow was calling for a training exercise, and wanted everyone to leave the field.

'Surprise training exercise?' Hikari would think to herself as she escorted herself and her few students away from the grounds. 'Kyousuke has never done one of these before, and if he did, he probably would of told me about it....' As she walked, she would surpress her chakra as she came close to a crowd of people that was gathering up as per Kyousuek's orders. Throwing her hoodie over her head to hide her face, the girl would activate her eye of heaven, and would search for Kyousuke, to find her at the training grounds she was just leaving, back to a tree.... just humming some tunes. It didn't look like he was prearing for anything.

Then suddenly.... it happened..... in a flash, Kyouske's hulking form was hidden behind the even larger form of a massive red ape, a bijuu.... not just any bijuu though, the four tails Goku.... the very demon Hikari had sealed inside Kyousuke. What.... what just happened? The bijuu..... it escaped? How?

The Jounin would freeze in fear as a thought crossed the teenager's mind. Had she put the seal on correctly? Did she perhaps mess up and hadn't sealed the beast correctly? Could this be all her fault? No, there was no way that was possible. Val's seal was still intact and fine, and even if there was a mistake, Kyousuke would know about it well before hand so the two could figure this out. There was only one possible explanation.

Kyousuke choose to let the bijuu out.

But why? The Jugo had been well informed of what would happen if the Yonbi had been allowed to walk free again. There was no way Snow would be willing to sacrifice himself for that! What was going on?

The Jounin didn't know how much time had passed, until she heard a voice in her head snapping her out of the daze she had put herself in. A message from Valen, the deputy kag...... no, The Hogokage. With Kyousuke dead, he would now be incharge. He.... he was going after it by himself. He wanted Hikari to get Kenshin for medical support, and find a Volunteer for it to be sealed.

With all honestly, Hikari didn't want to go do any of this, she wanted to just tell the Chunin in the crowd to keep everyone away and force Valen to flee so she could fight it. Valen and Goku...... who knows what thoughts the demon could place in Valen's gentle mind, even more so if it had somehow convinced Kyousuke to release itself onto the world.

But even if the Jounin ignored her Kage's comand and charged the battle field, Valen wouldn't leave. And Hikari couldn't force him to. Honestly, with how there battle against the Gobi went, the kunochi might just get in the way.

Rising, the girl would take a deep breath and look around, sensing out with her chakra. Hoshigakrue's medical specialist was not among the crowd. She would search out with her eye of heaven and find the man in the hospital. Had he not heard the word to meet up here?

Disappearing in an explosion of butterflies, Hikari would quickly whisp away to somewhere safe about a meter behind Kenshin. Hopefully the butterflies would alert the Albino to the girl's presence so he wouldn't be startled.

"Kenshin..." the Kunochi would explain. "There is an emergency, I need you to come with me right now." ] Hikari would explain, hoping that the Senju would be willing to drop everything and come with her. After taking a quick look around to make sure no one else was around, (She didn't want to cause a panic.) she would explain what she saw, both through the eye of heaven, and her own eyes.

One of Love's eyebrows popped hearing the slight excitement in Kari's voice. She was so engrossed in drawing the creature that she didn't notice that Love didn't answer her question. There was even a rather long pause between Love's follow up and the girl's response to it. When she did finally answer Love closed her eyes and shook her head ever so slightly. That was a dumb reason, if the person you're concerned about was of the ranks called of course they'd be fine. Even if they weren't what could you, as a genin, do? Nothing; Your place is beside the civilians, giving them a slight hint of hope should whatever threat reach them you'd be able to fend it off and protect them. In Konoha, the girl would be seen as abandoning her post, though there were about four of them that didn't report to their designated locations. However, they had actually proved helpful and unless this girl had been training nonstop since they last saw each other than she potentially walked head first into death. Of course, Love wouldn't say any of this aloud if the girl didn't already know it she would definitely be flooded with the thoughts as the battle waged.

Her voice had gone back to its normal tone when she spoke again so maybe it had already started, either that or it was because she had finished her drawing. Without looking Love could see how she clasped the notebook to her chest, the older red head sighed. Foolish child. She thought while noticing that another in the area had also sighed. Love nodded to the male's outspoken words, there was no one close to him so he was just thinking out loud but he was also right. When he turned to address Kari his words lacked emotion though it was very clear that he was trying to comfort the girl. She wouldn't look at Xuba when he spoke to the girl but she knew it was him that spoke and that he was looking at the girl when he did so. Love would also see as a weird man-child approached the other male and spoke as if they couldn't all die in seconds.

Rui's body dropped to the streets as villagers fled away from something. Rui walking through the people running at him as they cleared around him to both his side's. His feet pressing down making the typical sound of old samurai sandals. His eyes looking forward the white iris's were piercing in color. Rui's body neared a building with the speed of a flicker he went into a straight line on the side of a building, sliding down the shingles his feet pressed against the wood that bordered the shingles.

Standing up directly he walked in a non shilant, really he would be unnoticeable but his chakra was booming (Feels like 140). Small slivers of sparatic lightning formed around the surface of his body. His horned head band perching between his hair he approached the end of the building. Looking down there was the road full of the Hoshigakure's shinobi. All of them looking in the direction he is.

"Hmm.... The Hoshigakure under attack? I'm not so sure."

Rui looked up to the nearest building across the way, jumping forward bairly his hands gripped against the side of the building more for control then anything. His body hitting the ground his bones absorbed the impact as he landed. Lifting up he walked across the road. Civilians swarming past him he walked calmly, and his presence couldn't help but be noticed. Standing six feet four inches, and his sandals lifting him another inch he towered over the civilians. His long katana on his back, his long silver/white hair. And his white/silver iris's on top of the dark black like color of the whites of his eyes.

Rui stood out, if one were to watch you'd see him slide across the path inbetween two buildings. As he was between them he scaled a wall quickly reaching the top of a building with a bell tower type building. He would make his was to the tiny roof. Standing on top his eyes registered the large outline of a monster. Standing with his arms to his sides his eyes looked at the Bijuu, and the battle commensing with the deputy kage. Rui's face showed no emotion, thinking in his head "Hmmm so be it then. Hoshigakure I will die at your side if the kage can't beat that thing."

His body towering above the village, showing his at most attention to the Bijuu. The chakra coming from the Bijuu was thick even to where Rui stood. The mix of the bijuus and his chakra forced the current of bolts that sparatically formed around Rui to become thicker. More visible from a distance. His white cloak lifting with the wind his eyes stared forward. His eyes focused on the battle. The villagers could see his body at the top of the building. But the Shinobi could feel his chakra signature. Rui payed no attention to hiding it. He was there to protect the Hoshi, and this could be bad.

With a blank look upon his scarred face Kenshin would look down upon the body that lay on the table before him. Tsume Chokyoshi, one of the villages newest Genin… led to his death by one Miyamoto Terumi, a Chunin of the village that felt taking Genin on an S-rank mission was acceptable. He really should have just left pathetic child to be devoured by that Lycan from so long ago… at least then the fool wouldn’t be getting others killed for his incompetence. Not only had the Terumi taken a group of Genin on a mission that they were in no way capable of handling, but according to the reports that he had read, he had actually split up with them. The end result of the mission… well one of the Genin was lying upon the autopsy table before him, and another of the Genin, one Satoru Nara, was lying in one of the hospital wards without legs. And to put the final nail in the coffin of the deluded child known as Miyamoto… he had actually allowed the one responsible for this to escape. He could have overlooked the talentless child's failures if he had actually managed to either capture or kill the man responsible for this… but no, the culprit had escaped and was likely not going to be seen again for quite some time. Their mission had been a failure in every sense of the word… all because of the actions of one deluded fool.

He would have to have words with Kyousuke about his youngest charges failure, but that would come later, right now he had business with the corpse. Thankfully his killer had chosen to blow his brains out when killing him, as that left the rest of his body intact… save of course for his arm of course. But really, if the reports were correct then that was the boy's own fault... who in their right mind would attempt to catch a kunai that had been thrown at them? Not only could the kunai have an explosive tag attached to it, as the Genin had learned the hard way, but what if he failed to catch it in the first place? Ugh, it seemed that the Genin of Hoshi were far too obsessed with looking cool… but hopefully this rather harsh lesson would go to show his teammates that life was never so kind as in the stories. Who knows, perhaps the death of this young man would have far reaching consequences in the future… truth be told he did not expect the Genin’s death to be anything more than a footnote in the history of Hoshigakure, but anything was possible.

But he was getting sidetracked, he had taken possession of this body when his teammates had returned from their mission for a reason… and that reason sat unbeating within the chest of the corpse. Or rather, it had been sitting there until mere moments ago… it now rested within Kenshin’s own chest, beating erratically as his threads assimilated the new heart with a familiar element into his body. From what the file on the boy had mentioned his main element was Wind, the rarest of the elements and a heart type that had taken him quite some time to acquire. So when the corpse of someone with that element had arrived in the hospital he had seized his opportunity and took the corpse for himself. It took but a small application of chakra for Kenshin to seal the body back into the scroll that he had been storing the corpse within. After that it only took him forming a couple of hand seals to make the scroll seemingly burst into particles of pure light, signifying the use of the Storage Displacement technique. With that done all it took was a thought for his clothes to return to their normal form, closing the hole that he had formed in order to physically assimilate the heart.

And it seemed that he was just in time with performing all of these actions to, as mere moments after the hole had been closed a familiar beacon of chakra would appear in the area. And to make matters worse, a very familiar swarm of butterflies appeared on the other side of the autopsy table that Tsume’s cold corpse had been lying upon mere moments ago. What was truly worrying about this situation was that Namikaze was teleporting here of all places… the mortuary of Hoshigakure’s hospital… and one of the most secure locations in the entire village. He knew that Namikaze did not have the necessary security clearance to be allowed into this room, as there were only five in the village who did… and he was one of them. When the swarm of butterflies coalesced into the familiar form of the chestnut haired woman Kenshin would level her with the coldest possible glare that he could.

“You had best have a damn good reason for being here Namikaze…” he would begin to say, only to trail off near the end when he noticed the mixture of panic and fear upon her slightly pale face.

“Kenshin… there is an emergency, I need you to come with me right now” she would say, her eyes quickly scanning the room that she had appeared in. When it became clear that there was nobody in the room aside from the two of them and a couple of corpses she would begin this so called emergency to the Nova Corps Commander. She would of course begin at the start, when Kyousuke had ordered that the training grounds closest to the village gates, and all nearby homes, be evacuated. She would then tell him about the summons that he had sent out to all those of Chunin rank and higher… a summons that he never received due to where he had been all morning. But when she began to explain what she had seen through her Eye of Heaven, whatever the hell that was, he truly began to grasp just why she had teleported here of all places… a Bijuu was free within the walls of Hoshigakure... and Kyousuke Snow, the Hogokage, was dead. To call this situation a disaster would be a massive understatement, and it was only made worse by what she had revealed next… Valen had chosen to fight the legendary beast alone.

“Okay… we have no time to lose. Get me to the training grounds now” the supposed ‘Jounin’ would order with a completely emotionless look upon his scarred face.

As Hoshigakure's living dead mean would agree to come with the Chestnut haired girl, it felt like a great burden had been lifted off the girl's shoulder. Having Kenshin around to up the star village's knight in shining armor already made it feel like the Akari had won. Hikari would reach out and place her hand on the Teen's shoulder, and presuming Kenshin didn't fight it, teleport the two of them back to the training grounds where the majority of the shinobi from Hoshi were.

As she arrived, she would quickly start to suppress her chakra again, Hoshigakrure's Fuinjutsu Misstress of Light highly doubted that the four tails would be able to recognize her chakra out of a crowd on the accounts they only met while the bijuu was out cold, but at the same time, the Kunochi didn't want to risk the demon recognizing her, and heading toward this gathering of shinobi to try to take revenge on the one who originally sealed it. Once this was done, Hikari would think of her other jobs that Valen had given to her, find a new host, keep the civilians away from the bijuu.

"Kenshin," The girl would whisper, between all the commotion caused by the the onlookers and the noise of the battle, there was no way that anyone would be able to hear this besides the Commander of the Nova Core, and even then only because his unnatural hearing abilities. "If Valen wins, we will need to find someone to seal Goku-kun into. Be prepared to provide support, I am going to figure out the Jinjuriki situation."

Presuming Kenshin didn't stop her for some reason, Hikari would make her way to the front of the crowd, preparing to handle with the mob.

"SHINOBI OF HOSHIGAKURE! I HAVE BEEN GIVEN ORDERS BY OUR HOGOKGAE!" She would call out, loud enough for everyone to hear. "CIVILIANS NEED TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES! ACCADEMY STUDENTS AS WELL! IF YOU ARE A GENIN, PLEASE LEAVE THE FIELDS AND REPORT TO THE SHOPING DISTRICT AND THE NEARBY AREA'S! TELL ALL CIVILIANS TO STAY IN DOORS AND PREPARE TO EVACUATE AT A MOLMENTS NOTICE!

CHUNIN AND HIGHER RANKS ARE TO REMAIN HERE ON STANBY! WE WILL FIGHT THIS MONSTER AND SUPPORT OUR KAGE IF HE NEEDS US TO! ON TOP OF THAT, I NEED A VOLUNTEER TO COME WITH ME ON A TOP SECRET MISSION! AND BEFORE YOU VOLUNTEER, KNOW THIS IS A DANGEROUS S CLASS MISSION WHERE OUR SURIVIVAL WILL NOT ONLY BE UNLIKELY, BUT NOT A PRIORITY!!

ANY VOUNTEERS?"

One might consider that last statement as a little bit of a lie, but Hikari didn't. To have a demon sealed in you for the rest of your natural life was (In Hikari's oppinion) A fate as bad, if not worst than death. On top of that, whoever was going to be the one they sealed the 4 Tails into needed to be someone that was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the village.

(Don't think it will come into play, but -125 AP for every post up until now)

Wed Jun 20, 2018 9:56 pm

The male had been sitting on the staff itself, looking onward toward the ensuing battle between the...Wait did his ears deceive him? He slowly turned his body to face where the voice had been coming from, of course motioning for the male that he had already known (Kotetsu) to come up the staff. Normally he would never allow someone to even touch Yeoui, but since he had formed a sort of...interesting friendship with the male he wouldn't be too against him coming onto his staff. For a moment he listened to the voice who he had finally noticed had been a woman, the cross haired pupil male honing onto the female even more so trying to get a better look at her. When or if Kotetsu came up he would wave for him to sit down as he pointed to the Giant Ape and then to the female," So did you see this...That is a bijuu isn't it? I figured seeing a giant ass ape, but...how was this on order of the Hogokage, when he ...isn't here as far as I can tell?," whether or not the male knew the answer, Mo-ri would smile and think about what this S ranked top secret mission had been.

After listening to the females words he would chuckle almost expectantly as he thought about the thread of life and death. Something he tip toed on a daily basis, but never truly crossed over. Smiling to his friend he stood up and slid down the staff almost as if he had been doing it gracefully, but a simple application of a most basic jutsu would allow him to do so. By the time anyone would have tried to volunteer, he was up at the front of the fold looking the female in the eyes with the simplest of smiles," If you need someone not afraid of death then I guess my services are needed. Also," he pointed at Son Goku only looking for a moment before shrugging," Isn't it a bit rude to call him a monster? Sure he's a colossal ape, but in the end he is alive no? So. What's this "mission" you will have us partake on to help out Kyousuke?," the male had not known about the situation of his old friend nor that the bijuu had been in him prior to this.

Wed Jun 20, 2018 11:54 pm

As soon as he saw the hand motion from the top of the staff, Kotetsu would activate his wings and fly up to the top of the staff where his friend was seated. As soon as he had reached the top and was over top of the staff, he deactivated his wings and landed softly a few feet to Red’s left, where he would accept Red’s invitation to sit down. It was at that point where he noticed the massive creature that was on the far side of the training field. ‘What in the…’ Kotetsu thought to himself. ‘Where did that come from…’

It did not seem that he would get an answer, since it was not a question he outwardly vocalised. Almost as if Red had read his thoughts, he made his own comment just as Hikari had made her way to the front of the group that had assembled in front of Red’s vantage point; “So did you see this...That is a bijuu isn't it? I figured seeing a giant ass ape, but...how was this on order of the Hogokage, when he ...isn't here as far as I can tell?" Kotetsu grimaced. “Doesn’t look like it could be anything else, does it?” He said in reply. He then heard Hikari shout to the group below, "SHINOBI OF HOSHIGAKURE! I HAVE BEEN GIVEN ORDERS BY OUR HOGOKGAE! CIVILIANS NEED TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES! ACCADEMY STUDENTS AS WELL! IF YOU ARE A GENIN, PLEASE LEAVE THE FIELDS AND REPORT TO THE SHOPING DISTRICT AND THE NEARBY AREA'S! TELL ALL CIVILIANS TO STAY IN DOORS AND PREPARE TO EVACUATE AT A MOLMENTS NOTICE! CHUNIN AND HIGHER RANKS ARE TO REMAIN HERE ON STANBY! WE WILL FIGHT THIS MONSTER AND SUPPORT OUR KAGE IF HE NEEDS US TO! ON TOP OF THAT, I NEED A VOLUNTEER TO COME WITH ME ON A TOP SECRET MISSION! AND BEFORE YOU VOLUNTEER, KNOW THIS IS A DANGEROUS S CLASS MISSION WHERE OUR SURIVIVAL WILL NOT ONLY BE UNLIKELY, BUT NOT A PRIORITY!! ANY VOUNTEERS?" ‘A mission eh?..’ Kotetsu thought to himself. ‘I wonder what kind of mission this is…’

Kotetsu would watch as Red stood up and slid down his weapon towards where Hikari stood. ‘May as well check it out…’ He thought as he would follow suite. He was a Jounin after all, and dangerous missions were something that he would be called on to do. He had heard Red speaking to Hikari as he made his way down; "If you need someone not afraid of death then I guess my services are needed. Also, Isn't it a bit rude to call him a monster? Sure he's a colossal ape, but in the end he is alive no? So. What's this "mission" you will have us partake on to help out Kyousuke?" Kotetsu would chuckle as he landed and made his way over to the pair. “Hikari.” He would say to the chestnut-haired Fuinjutsu master of Hoshi with a nod. “I’ll help in any way I can as well.” Since Red had clearly offered first, he would not begrudge his friend the opportunity to volunteer, instead offering to be additional support on the mission, or to help in the village if that was where he was needed.

It did not take long for Xuba to react to Kari's presence. His words were simple, childish descriptions for the creature and the event. He made it seem like a normal day in the life of a Hoshi. Overall, the message Kari was getting was that they were safe. That did not make sense though as everyone was gathering. All of the most powerful people in the village reported in. Kari's eyes shifted towards the armored genin and she rotated her self so her puppet was behind her. She would not let the man attempt to sabatosh her attempt to do something here. He did not have a reason, but she still remembered his last attempted. His show of power, he proved to be one of the strongest obstacles here along with Cole. In time she would be ready to take him on again, but for now she remained defensive. Love did not have a response to what was going on, probably due to being focused on the scene.

Shortly after, a ninja she had never seen before entered the field. He did not look like a chunnin and he was not Terumi so she quickly passed him off as someone not important. After him a female ninja appeared. A jounin and a famous one at that, Hikari. Not needing a lesson on history, she was one person to respect. Well, all jounin deserved it but she was the only female one. Sadly, she was not here to grace the group. She came with orders, demanding all the genin to disperse and help the villagers.

Kari sighed, not wanting to leave until she at least saw him. But orders were orders.
"I have to go Ai-sempai... next time we meet, I will pay back the debt of experience you gave me with my strength. Then I won't be a burden..."
With that Kari, the girl gave a quick bow and dashed to the scene ready to act out the kunoichi words. Her spot would be assisting the hospital with the preparation for evacuation.

“Hmm… teleportation is not as disorienting as I thought it would be” The commander of Hoshigakure’s newly formed Nova Corps would mutter lightly as he surveyed his new surroundings. In front of him was a crowd filled with the seemingly mindless sheep that made up most of the villages shinobi force, although it seemed that they were not so mindless that they were not afraid of the Bijuu. In fact, he would go so far as to say that most of them appeared to be ready to flee, something that managed to disgust him more than words could convey. But then, on the other side of the coin, there appeared to be some that seemed to be so stupid that they possessed no fear of the beast. He could hear some making wild claims that they should b given a chance to fight the Bijuu themselves, claiming that the beast would fall before their “might”. There were others that seemed to be more focussed on talking to their friends than preparing for what would happen should the centuries old beast actually manage to win the fight. And there was even one that seemed to be sketching the legendary creature. Ugh, sometimes this village sickened him

"Kenshin," He would hear the Fuinjutsu Mistress whisper, his extremely sharp hearing barely managing to make out the sound of her voice amongst the mindless rabble of the crowd.

"If Valen wins, we will need to find someone to seal Goku-kun into. Be prepared to provide support, I am going to figure out the Jinjuriki situation." She would say, causing Kenshin’s brows to furrow slightly. For one, he had absolutely no idea why she was referring to one of the Bijuu as Goku-kun, but he had long since given up hope of ever understanding what went through the delusional girls mind at times. He also found himself wondering just how she managed to butcher the word Jinchuriki as badly as she had, but once again, the inner workings of Hikari’s mind were simply a mystery.

"SHINOBI OF HOSHIGAKURE! I HAVE BEEN GIVEN ORDERS BY OUR HOGOKAGE!" the Jounin would scream, her voice taking on a banshee-like quality as her screech overpowered even the slightly deafening noise of the crowd. He had to admit, it was both amusing and nauseating to watch as the sheep of the crowd seemed to wait with baited breath for Hikari’s next words. The hope and desperation amongst the rather large crowd was almost palpable at this point, and it seemed that due to her words the sheep were looking at the wannabe magical girl as some kind of shepard.

"CIVILIANS NEED TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES! ACADEMY STUDENTS AS WELL! IF YOU ARE A GENIN, PLEASE LEAVE THE FIELDS AND REPORT TO THE SHOPPING DISTRICT AND NEARBY AREAS! TELL ALL CIVILIANS TO STAY IN DOORS AND PREPARE TO EVACUATE AT A MOMENTS NOTICE! CHUNIN AND HIGHER RANKS ARE TO REMAIN HERE ON STANDBY! WE WILL FIGHT THIS MONSTER AND SUPPORT OUR KAGE IF HE NEEDS US TO! ON TOP OF THAT, I NEED A VOLUNTEER TO COME WITH ME ON A TOP SECRET MISSION! AND BEFORE YOU VOLUNTEER, KNOW THIS IS A DANGEROUS S CLASS MISSION WHERE OUR SURVIVAL WILL NOT ONLY BE UNLIKELY, BUT NOT A PRIORITY!! ANY VOLUNTEERS!?" The young woman would scream, earning little more than a groan from the silver haired teen as he began to rub his temples in annoyance. Seriously, did this girl even understand the concept of subtlety? Surely nobody was stupid enough to NOT realise what this “mission” of hers truly was…

Thankfully most of the mindless sheep began to do what they did best, mindlessly follow the orders that they were given. There were a few who remained, obviously eager to volunteer for this “dangerous mission”, but before any were able to offer themselves up a familiar figure appeared.

“If you need someone not afraid of death then I guess my services are needed.” the man hee recognised as Mo-ri Jin would say, earning a simple quirked brow from the scar faced youth. Could this lack of fear towards death be due to the rather strange comment he had made during their first meeting, about knowing what it was like to have ‘taken blades to the… everything, and still be up and around to tell the tale’. More than likely, but honestly this was nothing more than conjecture from the albino at this point.

“Also, isn't it a bit rude to call him a monster? Sure he's a colossal ape, but in the end he is alive no?” he would ask whilst gesturing towards the Bijuu, earning nothing more than an mused scoff from Kenshin. Really, what else would one call a sentient mass of chakra in the form of a colossal ape with four tails and the ability to manipulate lava? Because it was obvious to anyone with a brain that the Yonbi was no mere ape. But it didn’t matter in the end, as Kenshin was not about to waste any more of his time by responding to anything that had been said so far.

“So. What's this "mission" you will have us partake on to help out Kyousuke?” He would finally ask, causing Kenshin to release yet another sigh as he shook his head. It seemed that someone really was idiotic enough to be unable to put two and two together… he really shouldn’t be surprised at this point… not after the fact that Kyousuke had become the Hogokage. At least the muscle headed moron was finally dead, and by his own hand no less… at least he had saved Kenshin the time and effort of going through with the assassination that he had planned

“Hikari. I’ll help in any way I can as well.” another newcomer would say, and while Kenshin could safely say he recognised some of the man’s features he was unable to put a name to the face. Whatever, that didn’t matter right now, what mattered was getting this situation under control.

“Long time no see, Mo-ri. Unfortunately we have no time to spare on pleasantries, so I will get straight to the point. You just volunteered to become the new Jinchuriki of the Bijuu should Valen succeed in subduing it… congratulations.” Kenshin would say blandly, his sole eye locked upon the form of the Bijuu that was facing off against Valen. He had to admit… he was rather disappointed with what he had seen from the supposed beast of legend so far. Honestly, if he had known that this was the true extent of their power than he never would have fled from the Six Tails when he had encountered it.

“Hikari… I don’t know what preparations you need to make to seal the beast, but when the time comes I expect you to be ready. Mo-ri, I don’t know anything about creating Jinchuriki… so just follow Namikaze’s instructions. And you… remove any civilians, Academy Students, Genin and non Hoshi shinobi from the immediate area. If anyone should resist... use whatever force you deem necessary.” Kenshin would then say, his tone cold and his face devoid of emotion. It was time for him to get serious… it was time for him to show just why he had been made commander of the Nova Corps.
