Story: A week of sorrow and grieving would have passed and taken its toll on the people of the village hidden in the leaf. So many lost, so many missed dearly, and so many questionable acts and orders given from the Hokage left unexplained to his people. Why was my genin child sent to fight those who were proven superior to the Kazekage? Why did Ikeru not act himself after no reports of his reinforcements had been made back to him? Why did their children and friends have to make the ultimate sacrifice for a village that wasn't even their home? These emotions would stir into a small riot that would begin to start spearheaded by those that held a substantial amount of weight in the village's politics... The heads of the main clans of Konoha.

Realtime: A slight downpour of rain, a fitting scene for this day and moment, would fall upon the villagers of the hidden leaf as they paid their last respects at the shinobi war memorial that now grew substantially larger due to those who had fallen at the failed aid of Sunagakure. The sounds of faint weeping and cries of "WHY?" and "HOW WAS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?!" Would flood the air around as the emotional group would have to say their last goodbyes to those they held dear and those they had brought into this world. The sadness and weeping would soon turn into anger and displeasure as the rabble rousing would begin to take place. "THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!"... "SOMETHING MUST BE DONE! WE WANT ANSWERS!".... "HOW COULD IKERU STAND BY WHILE OUR CHILDREN WERE SLAUGHTERED AND LAID TO WASTE?!" Many voices in the crowd would yell out. This would ignite a chain reaction in the crowd as they began to march as one towards the village and through the streets of Konoha straight for the courtyard of the Hokage's building closing in at a rapid pace. As the group got closer it seemed the rain would also take on traits of their attitude as it began to torrentially downpour over the village at this point as the crowd finally marched through the doors that separated the courtyard from the general population."IKERU SHOW YOURSELF!"...a stern strong voice would yell out from the front of the crowd as the rest began to shout and yell in agreement.

About 5 minutes after the crowd had been settled in and planted, what was left of the Hokage's Phoenix guard would begin marching out and down the staircase to the courtyard below, there were 10 in total. The guard would begin to file in a straight horizontal line in front of the mob cutting them off from the building itself. Was this Ikeru showing he was not going to give in to their demands? Would he show himself and face the music his decisions had created? Who would emerge from the crowd to be their voice? Things were about to unravel.
