Ubi: As he awaited the decimation of his new office, the male stood there in such a laid back manner, a slick grin forming onto his lips. “My my… So this was his next plan. Forming the swordsman. I can see that these are in pretty good shape ever since I used them.” He admitted, having admiration for the blades that he saw within the office. “I guess that was a smart thing to do on his part, especially since he knew that his time might be coming to an end, dealing with that beast.” He whispered to himself. “Go and grab Shusuke Kiyoshi for me, and please be quick. I have some urgent matters to discuss with him.” The teal haired man said before the masked male nodded, seeming to fade from existence. “Alright, now I just wait.” He said as his jacket seemed to flow from the speedy masked male leaving the office. Travelling, faster and faster, he made his way over to the male who was deemed as a savior, him who was giving the full on credit of saving Kiri from the monster, white-haired Kirigaya that wreaked nothing but havoc over the village. Appearing in front of the male, standing at an insignificant 5’6”, he looked at the taller Shusuke, bowing in reverence. “The newly appointed Mizukage would like to see you…” With this, one would wonder “What happened to the faceless first? “– A moniker given to the first Mizukage that dared never to show his face to the village – in the slightest. This often turned people against the male, as if he didn’t trust the village that was supposed to trust him. “He wishes to talk to his Jounin personally, and with you having a pretty good reputation without the village, he wishes to talk with you. There is no refusal, I ask that you come peaceful, for his is an urgent need to speak to you.” The male said, him then looking at a red-headed gennin that seemed to walking past. She was a female, and was heroine in her own respect; standing up for Cyde. The male nodded to her as well. “Thank you for your assistance, Himura.” The male said as he focused his attention back to Shusuke.

Shu: Shusuke was awakened by the morning dew that splashed onto his face every morning as a method to wake himself up, he also used it as a way to get in touch with nature and giving it different purposes to benefit him. He yawned and lifted himself up off of his mattress, now sitting on the side of his bed. It had been few days now since the Kaguya threat ended. The Kaguya clan went mad and attempted a coup on the Village Hidden in the Mist. They fortunately failed and were decimated by multiple elite Kirigakure Shinobi who defended their village well along with its inhabitants. Shusuke then proceeded to get himself dressed, his body creaked and cracked as he moved as lightly as possible. He was rather sore from the recent invasion, he pushed his body fairly hard and used multiple chakra consuming techniques in rapid succession. He was hurt but he’d fight for another day. He finished getting dressed and then lit up a cigarette and proceeded about his day. He left his tree hut home on the outskirts of the village and went to go hunt for some breakfast. A she was about to leave the area of his home, he sensed rustling in the tree and felt the movement of a singular chakra around him that was headed right towards his home. Shusuke sighed and hoped that it was a friendly, he didn’t know how he would be able to handle himself in a fight right now. As it turned out, it was indeed a friendly, it was the Mizukage’s right hand man. He was rather short and with Shusuke’s entire 6’1” frame towering over him, made him look omnipotent. The man bowed and relayed the message given to him by the new Mizukage. Wait he thought to himself, the NEW Mizukage? What happened to the old one that everyone wasn’t fond of? Did he perish in the skirmish with the Kaguya? All these questions ran through Shusuke’s head. He looked to the man and spoke. “Uhmm…Alright. I’ll come along, but I want all the questions I have answered with detail in full if you don’t mind.” He said with authority. Supposedly, Shusuke was a trusted Jonin in the village, he knew he was one of the more elite but he wasn’t aware he was apart of a higher circle.

Rain: Feeling like she needed to go for a walk Rain threw her investigation papers down on her kitchen table and pinched the bridge of her nose. Obsessing over her familys death was not going to bring them back, neither will dying from starvation bring the murderer to justus. Pushing away from the table Rain stood and stretched her hands above her head letting out a yawn, dropping her hands back down she gripped her empty coffee cup and put it un the sink upside down. Shoving her feet into her sandals Rain slammed her door shut and locked it before turning to leave the empty house she called home. Walking through the small forest that seperated her house from the village, Rain shoved her hands into her pockets and enjoyed the feeling of freash air in her lungs. Quickly becoming bored with just walking the oppotunity to get into trouble arose as she walked past two men, her ears perking she easily heard what the shorter man had said to the taller one. Walking past as if she were casual Rain smiled and nodded to the short man slightly as he thanked her for her service in the kaguya invasion. Waiting untill both men had moved Rain turned on her heel quickly and followed after the taller man as she followed him she only just recognized him to be Shusuke Kiyoshi, this made her smile knowing that whatever she finds out during this meeting with the Mizukage, it would have to be good. Being sure to mask her chakra Rain used the trees for cover and anything around her to hide her small frame not wanting to be caught before she heard the goss.

Ubi: Standing up, the Hunter-Nin nodded. “I honestly don’t know much myself. I just know the bare minimum. My Lord First… he perished; even his first assistant. I don’t know what happened, I just do my job. I guess that this male was the next choice by the Daimyo, or maybe even the Mizukage himself. Again, I don’t know much, and much speculation can lead to misfortunes. Please, follow me.” The male said as they would begin heading towards the office. The day was brighter than what it used to be. The sun was brighter, and for somereason, the mist was not as thick. The sun could be seen with some of the clouds parting way, so that one could see the hidden blue skies. The walk was a good 45 minutes, with the terrain, and the location of the office, it being somewhere within the mountainous range. The air was clean, as the wind blew softly, as their voyage to the Mizukage’s office might have been shortened if the lot had sped about. Once they were in the office, they’d see blood staining the walls and the floor as there was a male, turned around in his desk, just as the previous Mizukage had done. “Well well well. Shusuke Kiyoshi. I guess you’ve grown up a lot, huh?” He said as he smiled. Turning around in his seat the taller male was able to see the rather young-looking Mizukage having a cocky grin painted onto his face. His hair was long, Teal in color, and for some reason he had this scent that smelled of mint, his bright white teeth radiating every time he spoke. His teal eyes were unique – bearing a sort of a slit within them for pupils as his words were slow, slick and the way that he spoke was cunning, enticing, and suggestive. “You may not remember me, I was too busy watching your ass get kicked by other people within your class.” He said with a smirk as he then took his hand, his fingernails being black in color, as he began to rub his smooth chin. “Let’s see… There was something that we needed to discuss… But with these ears and these eyes, it might be best if the young one show herself.” He said as he closed his eyes, waiting for the Rain Himura to come out of hiding, him taking his foot slightly as he continued to sit within the chair. His acute senses were shown then and there – not like the gennin had some sort of crazy leverage in skill in the first place. “Anywho. There are some things that I wish to discuss with you – as the Hunter-nin has told you – the Mizukage … Faceless First, has passed, and if something were to ever happen to him, I was the next in line. Unless… something where to happen to me. If that were to be the case…” He gave a slight pause as he opened his eyes slightly, “You all would be dead. You felt that one’s chakra, didn’t you?” The Mizukage said as he then leaned over his desk slightly, smirking. “I can’t go into detail as to why the Mizukage died, but I know that he sent me a letter a few days before his death. I think he may have known about something… but I do not think that the Kaguya incident was because of him – but he did use it at an opportune time so that his secret wouldn’t get out… And I have a feeling that I know what that … secret was…” He said in a menacing tone. “It is the past now, nothing that we can do. Starting from now on though, there will be no bloody exams, and on top of that, I am in hunt for seven guardians of the village in the form of swordsmen who will lay down their lives for the village first, and me second. What is your opinion on that?” His hands covering his mouth as his eyes were half opened, eying the male in the corner; waiting for some sort of answer. He wanted to see exactly how he’d react to such an offer – as the Mizukage didn’t even blink, simply sitting in the bloody, old office, waiting to hear if Shu was ready to guard the village, truly, with his life.

Shu: Shusuke nodded to the male soon there were off on the road to meet with the new Mizukage. As Shusuke walked throughout the forest, he asked himself many questions, mainly he was focused on the death of the infamous “Faceless First”, being the Mizukage made you the strongest ninja in the village, who could’ve possibly gotten the jump on someone who never even revealed his face? On top of that, who could possibly be the new Mizukage? Was he a faceless creep like lord first? Or was he more of an open person? So many questions…As they walked throughout the forest, they had small little intervals of conversation about the nature of this visit to the Mizukage, what could he have to speak with Shusuke about? As far as he figured, they don’t know each other but Shusuke does have quite the reputation around the village, and is among the list of elite Jounin within the village. After 45 minutes’ worth of travelling through the forest, they finally reached the Mizukage’s building. Or at least what’s left of it, the whole place was crumbled down and looked like something nasty hit it, bad. Something nasty did hit it however, a whole force of crazy Kaguya clan members. The sounds of that battle still haunted the wounds Shusuke suffered. As they walked through the ruins of the building, they finally reached the Mizukage’s room and there sat the new head of the village. He sat at the desk of the Mizukage without facing Shusuke but he figured he was present. He began to speak and slowly make his way around facing Shusuke, revealing his face. Turned out this new Mizukage was as open as a jar of a can of worms, Shusuke took revealing his face as a good sign meaning that there was a level of trust within the room. The new Mizukage looked rather young and had long teal hair and wore black ninja clothing, Shusuke was shocked that this runt was going to be the one running the village. But he still kept a level of respect for this Mizukage. Shusuke however as he listened to the new Kage, he sensed chakra from the outside of the building that belonged to a girl that had passed by him earlier while he was being picked up by the Kage’s right hand man, she seemed to have been eavesdropping, also, the Kage picked up on this intruder’s presence as well, slightly before Shusuke did. The new Kage then began to speak freely and normally as if the intruder wasn’t there, so Shusuke ignored them as well. The new leader presented Shusuke with what seemed like an opportunity to further serve his Village, the Kage was looking to put together seven guardians to firstly, serve and protect the village, and secondly to serve and protect him. The guardians will be billed as swordsmen and specially trained as well. Shusuke thought about the idea and looked around as he pondered what how he should answer. He then looked the Kage dead in his eyes and spoke. “So what your saying is that your looking for skilled shinobi to defend your village further in new ways eh? Well, I think it’s a grand idea in my opinion. But I can’t image the selection process will be easy. You must place trust and skill into each of those members.” Shusuke replied. He was now fairly interested in this new idea, wondering if maybe he could get picked or work his way to earn the title.

Rain: Coming to the door of the Mizukages office Rain pressed herself against the wall and listen intently. A few words were said before she heard a male pick up on her. Shock passed her face as the man inside called her out, chewing her bottom lip Rains mind raced at what to do, deciding to man up and head in silently to stand in the back Rain pushed her hands into her pockets and strolled into the office. Glancing around quickly from the teal man to the kiyoshi to the walls Rain settled her glance back at the man seated at the front desk, taking in his appearance. Her cheeks then began to tint slightly with a small pink blush as they ignored her pesence once she had come out. Her being the only genin in here where she was not ment to be would more than likely up with her being in trouble but still she stood there silently ready for any punishment. At this point anything would be better than wasting away in a lonely house with nothing but her own thoughts as company, blinking away her lonely emotions Rain listen as the teal looking man spoke as if she wasnt there, something about being Mizukage and having swords men. Thinking on the swords men subject Rain found herself nodding, Having the swordsmen serve the people before they serve the Mizukage is a a nobal thing, ensuing that the people of Kirigakure are safe was a good start as well as abolishing the bloody exams. Frowning Rains mind flittered over the events of her own bloody exam and she found herself glaring slightly before snapping out of it. Hearing the Teal man ask Shu that question she found herself bubbling with her own opinion. After Shu had spoken Rain walked forward a couple steps, "I think its a great idea, the people of this village need protecting more than ever considering the events that have just happen, i dont think they would take to kindly to the new Mizukage if her were to continue the traditions of the old one." Rain paused mentally kicking herself for talking, knowing that her words will fall on deaf ears considering her rank in the village. "I mean, i-i." She stuttered before stepping back again and blushing at her idiocy.

Rain: In appearance, the male looked younger than Shusuke, yet he was able to remember when the Shusuke was a young shinobi, just donning the Gennin title. Though this male appeared to be opened with his slick, tantalizing eyes, his sleek, sinister, yet suave grin, his perfected complexion and blemish-free skin and the smell of his minty-free breath that made talking to him even more of a delight, there was something off about him. “You’re a highly respected shinobi, and I do expect great things from you – marvelous things even. I’m going to give you the top sword – the Samehada. With this living blade you will go and practice, train, and grow. This sword is not only a tool, it is alive. You need to consider that within your training. It will need constant care, and you need to have to strength and stamina to wield such a blade on your own. Daily regiments will be the best thing for you to do.” The Hunter Nin went to offered the bladed wrapped in white bandages to Shusuke in a form of reverence. “With this blade you will train to become the strongest, the best within Kirigakure, with it lies the talents of the previous swordsmen. I don’t have much to say either than if you do let me down, I’ll have to kill you.” He said with a smile. “The reason why I decided to show my face to you, is so that you understand that we’re not working against each other… we’re on the same team. And unless we fight together, we will do nothing but wait for death to come upon us.” He said as he then smiled. There was someone else, who had chimed up – the female whom had entered along with Shusuke once she was indeed caught. She was rather adorable. Within a second, seeming to be faster than the both of them could even pick up due to his fingers flashing, he was in front of both of them. The speed was incredible, it was almost as if he hadn’t moved. “Even the future of Kiri have a right to some input.” He said as he took his hand placing it onto the female’s head. “You must be Rain. Rain Himura, correct? I heard about how you and your teammate took care of the village while Shu and some others were dealing with the Kaguya. I heard from one of the Jounin that you even stood up to one of the Kaguya. That was pretty brave of you if you’d ask me. I’m sure one day you’ll grow up to be a fine Kunoichi, maybe even a swordsman for me as well. I look forward to the day that your potential radiates as much as your face right now.” He said with a grin. He jumped back into the air, flipping over as he landed in his seat, his black jacket still in motion before slowly falling down, his hands supporting his head, covering his face. “That is all. You two may proceed with your daily activities. Are there any questions?”

Shu: Shusuke couldn’t believe what had just transpired, not only was he asked to shed input on an idea of the Mizukage but he had been entrusted with a legendary blade as well as a responsibility, he was given the Samehada the Shark skin blade which doesn’t cut but shreds its enemies to ribbons. It was deemed the most powerful of all the seven blades that were made iconic together as a set. With this opportunity, Shusuke was now given an opportunity to become a whole lot stronger as well as a lot more renowned throughout the land. He was presented his prize by the hunter-nin and was held up to him as the nin bowed his head in respect and honor. Shusuke didn’t know how to react, he was excited and felt so good to have his talents recognised by his village leader. He was so ecstatic about the whole thing he omitted the part f the Mizukage threatening death by his hand if he had failed him, Shusuke grabbed hold of the white bandaged wrapped blade with its brown leather handle finished off with a small skull on the bottom of the hilt. This great sword was the most powerful of all the 7 blades that existed. He waved it around in the air, trusting it at imaginary targets before resting it on his shoulder. He then spoke to the Mizukage. “I don’t know what to say, sir. Thank you so much. I will not let you down and I wield this blade with pride and in the good name of Kirigakure.” He said with authority. He looked deep into his eyes and you could see the resolve emerge from them.

Ubi: The Mizukage chuckled at her request as well as Shu’s thankful words. “I would, but I have a lot on my plate. This village has a lot of things that needs to be taken care of. As you can see, we have dead bodies all over the place…. So I have to make missions and whatnot, as well as handle this money system… we’ve been keeping to ourselves for so long that the export and trade business is rather low.. just so much work that I have to do and so little time.” He said with a chuckle as he looked at the young female. “Don’t worry though. I’ll tell you what. Whenever you need something or want something to do, just come by my office and I’ll be sure to give you a task. I wouldn’t be able to help you too much because my style of fighting is different from most. .” He said as he then leaned back into his seat, crossing his legs. “Shu, you may keep the sword on your persons, but it does leave the village until you can fully wield it. If that sword were to be placed into the wrong hands, it could be very trouble-some for our village.” He said as he turned around back to the outside, facing away from the two of them. “I wish you both well though, that is all for today. I have work in which I must attend to. ” The male said in a laid back mannerism as his head rested against the chair, his mind wondering to his the next mission needed to be done.
