The crowd’s yells and need to argue all stifled down to a softer volume, Tetsuya turned about to face the large male with an indifference about himself and was prepared to speak his mind about the gargantuan even if it were to lead to his death. Though the sounds of footsteps caused the shinobi to turn back around, ignoring Godric and his words as if he became non-existent, before him stood the Hokage, who met with everyone’s eyes with an airs of familiarity with the look everyone shared. The phoenix guard dispatched and Ikeru decided that it be best to drag the horde of rage-filled parents behind him, to reveal something.

Of course, Tetsuya followed to see just what it was he sought to reveal, from the ground, arose the multitude of surrounding gravestones, though the number of names outnumbered the amount that had fallen within Sunagakure. Then proceeding to listen to Ikeru’s puff piece of a speech of the trials and mistrials of the past, which only seemed to serve to reinforce Ikeru’s irresponsibility, though if no one saw that Ikeru has clearly repeated the mistakes of his predecessor, his father, costing the lives of Konoha’s children as his father has done before him, Tetsuya would find himself disappointed.

He still resided ahead of the crowd, though staying behind the large man with a loud voice that he clearly wanted to be heard. Ikeru then revealed information he had kept prior, an organisation known as the Akatsuki, something that were but mere rumours, though the idea of a group of criminals wasn’t a foreign concept, even amongst his travels there were stories of prominent criminals gathering in alliance. Though it only seemed that Ikeru sought to reveal this piece of information because a mob had gathered, just how much would he keep to himself if the horde of angered, emotional parents weren’t present.

Yet again, Godric voice rang through the crowd once more, though this time, less with rage and more so with determination and a promise. With a soft sigh, Tetsuya moved closer towards the Hokage as Godric’s words slowly came to an end, the shorter red eyed shinobi staring into the eyes of the man before him as though he sought more answers. Whether it would rile the crowd or not mattered little, parting his lips, Tetsuya began to speak.

“Is there anything else we don’t know yet, lord Hokage? Something you seek to hide from us until the last minute? I believe it’d be crucial to the village’s survival if we were made aware of the existence of any other threats, so the next time you send kids into battle, they’re more prepared to die. I don’t think you’ve told us everything.”
