PUT DA COOKIE DOWN!

The night had been long but not without its merits as Ibari sat on his roof drinking from a bottle of his favorite sake. The black cloaked male sat idly watching the people of Suna go about their business as he usually did, just all apart of the job. At this point things had just been going to the holes as an inevitable fight with Kiri was on the wind and honestly he wasn't adverse to the situation. On the other hand it could prove to be difficult if it went on for too long. With that he just enjoyed his drink and the nighttime while he could, for who knew how long it would truly take for this to come to fruition. It took a moment for him to realize someone had been sitting next to him. Turning his head slowly he would look at the cloaked figure as they held something out to him. Ibari was a believer in not taking things from strangers, but something compelled him to. Taking the scroll he would blink and unravel it to read the message within it. As he did he could hear the wind shift beside him, denoting that the figure had left. Reading over it he would chuckle as he signed it in blood before he felt his surroundings shift all around him and suddenly he was sitting in snow.

"What the fuck?" Would be his only response as he stood up and dusted his pants off, looking over to see the white locks of a familiar friend," Old man you made it!! How is it to be in an environment that's not the morgue?," a sly chuckle escaped his lips as he finished the sake and tossed the bottle in the snow, coming back for it later. Now was the time to figure out why he was there...and Kenshin as well.

Kizmaru was relaxing in his new, small abode somewhere in Kirigakure as he had just finished feeding Ram. Laying on his couch of his one bedroom apartment, he didn't really have anything planned, even with the upcoming holidays. Now that he was no longer the Mizukage, he found he had a lot of free time on his hands. Back then, this was the kind of time he dreamed of having and doing what he wanted but he quickly found out there wasn't much he was interested in or much to do. Letting out a sigh, he didn't think he'd say this but now that he was used to having copious amounts of paperwork to deal with, he kind of missed it now that he no longer needed to do it. He didn't want to completely go back however, but something to pass the days. Well, there's no use complaining about it now. Suddenly, there was a knock on his door to which he'd get up and go see who it was. He wasn't expecting any guests but it was nice to have. Looking through the peephole, all he saw was, nothing. That was odd, which put him on alert. 

Before he opened the door, he'd put on his armor in case he needed to defend himself from an ambush of some kind. This also stopped Ram from eating and putting him on edge as well. Opening the door, all he found was a letter addressed to him. Cautiously, he opened it with the talons of his gauntlets and began to read the letter. After examining the contents of it, it seems all he had to do was agree to the terms and conditions in order to begin the task. Chuckling to himself, he thought 'What the heck, why not' after all this must have all been some sort of joke and so, he signed the letter expecting nothing to happen. Unfortunately, something did happen as he blinked and found himself in a snowy area. The letter was gone from his hands and now he was just there left squinting, taking in his surroundings. "Ram! Ram! Are you here," Kizmaru had cried out wondering if his companion was here or not. Unfortunately, his companion hadn't been there with him and now he felt alone.

Sitting in his study with a nice fire going, Keita was peering out of the window periodically, carefully watching the rain fall and tap on his window. He really liked the noise the rain made against glass, it was nice and calming. He was sipping some tea with one hand while the other was using a fairly large calligraphy brush to paint the kanji for rain. As he was finishing up the brush stroke, there was a knock on his door. Keita got up and stretched, and walked over towards the door. He was on alert, and his chakra sensory ability was not telling him anything, but he was already in his armor, as it was the most comfortable piece of clothing that he owned, and it made him feel a lot safer when wearing it. As he opened the door, he noticed that there was a small scroll there.

Keita picked it up, studying it a bit before realizing that there was some sort of strange seal on it. The seal would be activated by blood, and through his study he realized that the seal was some sort of summoning seal, which would transport him somewhere else for something. He read the scroll, and it was a request from a strange entity, asking him to help save some people from eating poisonous cookies. Keita was a pretty altruistic person, and he was confident in his strength, so he signed the scroll in his blood and got ready to teleport. As his environment shifted, he was suddenly outside in the snow. He looked around and saw Kizmaru’s armor as well as a couple of other people in the distance. No one seemed hostile, so he simply waved to them. “Greetings Lor- haha, I mean my old friend. Seems like you accepted the invitation as well.” Keita slipping up and almost calling Kizmaru the mizukage. Force of habit, really.

"C'mon when you going to stop calling me boy? I've at least upgraded to teenage adolescent or something like that. Making feel like someone's son...Aw is that what you see me as?," he would let out an howling laugh as he slapped his knee and wiped away the small tear that dared to escape from his tear ducts. He could feel the overwhelming sensation of a few others entering the mix, two of which he had not been familiar with...Go figure he was stuck in the snow though. Turning his head to see who he had been talking to, Ibari had moved to the right of Kenshin and looked over to the other two to see if they would respond to him or not. Whatever the reason was the two were here, Ibari wasn't going to judge because they were stuck in the same situation without a plausible end in sight. With that being said, the Guardian would simply stay silent to see what would come to pass. With Kenshin doing the real talking, Ibari would flick his cloak slightly so that it would remain behind him rather than on his side as he added something onto what Kenshin had said," I'm with him. Lets go ahead and get this over with so we can return to our respective areas and live whatever lives we have...agreed?," he wasn't weary of the two but he wasn't going to be lax about the situation as well. Whatever or whoever had brought them here had a purpose for them and Ibari wanted to finish it and quickly.

After yelling out Ram's name, Kizmaru waited for an answer of some kind, like a grunt or a squeal similar to a cat's. After a few moments, he had heard nothing and concluded Ram did not teleport with him which made him feel relieved, oddly enough. As long as he wasn't out here in harm's way, he was fine. Thinking what to do next, Kizmaru pondered on what he should do next when he heard a familiar voice address him. Looking around, he noticed it was Keita making a comment about him accepting the invitation as well. Scratching the back of his head, Kizmaru was sort of confused on how Keita, or himself for that matter, got here by just signing a piece of paper. Sure, it was in his blood but he didn't think the effects would immediately take effect. He thought he'd have to meet somebody after signing but alas, that was out of the question he assumed. "Keita, what's going on here? And who are those people," a puzzled Kizmaru had inquired. An elderly man had called out to all of them, inquiring if they were all here for the same reason. 

Kizmaru had assumed they were if they all just appeared in this strange land but he wasn't going to respond just yet without knowing what he was dealing with first. Keita was good at dealing with strangers so he figured he would address this elderly man before he followed whatever his decision was when it came to addressing these people. Still, he did assume they were all here for the same reason so he probably shouldn't be too wary of them but at the same time, he didn't know who they were aside from Keita so he would just keep his guard up instinctively as he has always done. Lastly there was one more person that was in the group that he didn't acknowledge before. It seemed he had a similar idea to Kizmaru of wanting to end whatever this little excursion was so they could go back to whatever they were previously doing. No matter, they would all do what they were sent here to do which was stop somebody from eating something poisonous or whatever. He only hoped they could get this over quickly before it was too late.

It seemed like the group was a bit confused on seeing each other for the first time when they were teleported, Keita remained calm. It was fairly obvious that the people were all teleported here with the intention of taking the mission that was on the scroll, so that was also why they were together. Kizmaru seemed confused, but Keita simply started grinning a bit, and then started talking to Kizmaru in a quick but hushed tone. “We are all here simply to complete the goals on the scroll that you signed to get here. Let us quickly finish it.” Keita would say, before the other two men walked over and greeted them. It seemed that they simply wanted to do the mission with them as well, and they wanted to do it quickly. Keita nodded at them after the initial greetings, before talking to them about what he was going to do with the mission. “Well, we have to go and prevent some poisonous cookies from being distributed, so let us depart.” Keita spoke with a lot of elegance, before simply heading towards their destination. He was not going to sit around and wait until the cookies were made, and he might as well start taking down the factories that were mass producing these things.

There were a couple of these factories scattered about, each taking a different process of the cookie making into account, and so Keita rushed over towards one of the buildings. The factory building looked heavily fortified and protected by other ninja, but Keita honestly did not care. Keita quickly activated his Atmosphere technique, lifting slightly off the ground as a storm danced inches off of his skin. He then simply formed some more hand seals, and a swirling vortex appeared in the air, before dropping on the factory, leveling the entire area and putting a fairly deep hole in the ground that quickly filled with water, forming a small lake where the building once was. Keita decided to use this time to use his amplification technique and apply his new seal on him as the factory was wiped out. This would save him time in the future. The others should have done something similar to their factory buildings, and after a few minutes, Keita felt the familiar feeling of space twisting around him, as he was teleported back into his study.
