 Closing post:

Ikeru’s reaction to Ren.

As they walked side by side, these men of great strength, Ikeru found himself listening to the Sarutobi’s words in silence. After all, Ren was right in every sense of the word, but as a father Ikeru knew that it would never be easy to know your own flesh and blood would be put under Genjutsu; forcibly if need be. “Very well, I shall assign one of the ANBU to stand by for your call, Ren. Activate this seal to summon him.”. Ikeru’s stern gaze then found the patient eyes of Ren. “I know how difficult this must be. But there’s no other way.”

The High Council.

Ren Sarutobi, Godric Fuma and Ikeru Senju all made way to the Hokage’s building and took the stairs up to a secret room on the top floor where all other council members were gathered around a round table. Eito Fuma, who’s the leader of ROOT and Godric’s brother, and three other old council members, a woman and two men who were on the council back when even Ikeru’s father was in rule.

What was discussed in this High Council, in precise detail, will remain to from the masses but there were several witnesses who swear they saw Godric throw a table out of the window before finally seeming to settle with the Hokage’s proposal of following Eidel’s plan with the added note of having ANBU operate in secret in the meantime to begin infiltrating the hidden Rain as spies; a plan which was backed up by the elders who demanded action be taken but not too swiftly. The calm and wise Ren agreed that his daughter was to be be sent as leader of the mission, promising that she’d be fully healed and ready in time. Seika was assigned as such due to the fact that she had the most knowledge of the Rain’s troops and the most experience under her belt plus she carried strong emotions to go and find Keldran; emotions which might prove crucial in the end. For it is hope that carries a flickering flame in the breath of night.

The final results of the meeting would, however, be made public and stated as followed:

In one year from now four of our finest shinobi will set out to Sunagakure to join Eidel, soon to be Kazekage, on a quest to the hidden rain. In the year between now and then we’ll prepare for this S-Rank mission of the greatest importance. The assigned members are: (Leader) Seika Sarutobi, Zango Uzumaki, Nalini Shinigami, Kin. Further information will be disclosed to you in Sunagakure, one year from now, to prevent the chance of information leaking out to our enemies.
