Nova was knocked off his trail of thought as he approached them, he had gone far off from trying to connect the kunoichi to this silver clad being into some sort of skepticism similar to that of the 'nobodies'. As Nazuki greeted him, he smiled and winced his eyes, tilting his head to the side a bit. Finally he uttered some words to the new shinobi, "I'm quite alright, Nazuki-chan, I've just came to ask a few questions to the two of you."
The Otokage was wearing a long light blue coat over a tight battle vest with several sword and claw cuts across the chest. The coat was heavy at the wrists, and the back lower lining, giving a sort of commanding presence. From under the jack, his two plated gloves wrapped around his hands cutting off at the knuckles appropriately, and his pants were nothing but that of a regular shinobi's, though it was hard to tell with the large assortment of weaponry across his waist bands. On his back rested both the Raiga blades now, crossing in an 'X' fashion with their hilts wrapping stretching off the ends. On his feet were two light boots, with a slender edge, from the toe to the heel.
Nova reopened his eyes, and fixated them back on Nazuki, then drifted them back over to Tamao. "This question is directed to the both of you... I'd like to know everything you know about the incident that had occurred earlier today." Nova felt weird sounding very professional like, since it was not his style. He was very different than the idealized view of what everyone would consider a 'kage' of one the hidden villages. Leaving his question open, he walked over calmly to the young boy, and tried to calm him by first finding out what was wrong with body gestures, and a reassuring smile.

Everything that happened? thought Nazuki as she swallowed her noodles.
"Well, we were just having a walk and practicing our ninjutsu around the hills in the southeastern sector...and then those shadow like creatures appeared. Me and Tamao defeated about fourty of them, but they were retreating before that...I tried putting them to sleep but it didn't work, so they are not like organisms as far as I know. And they appeared right when it was getting dark."
Nazuki finished her story and kept eating. The otokage probably wanted their story for the records...but it isn't all that spectacular...As to why they were attacked she had no clue.

Tamao
Tamao looked back up at the Otokage, although she didn't know that was who he was just yet. He seemed to know Nazuki though, and that was enough to convince her he wasn't an enemy. He asked about what they knew about the earlier incident, and she tried putting her thoughts in order. While she did, Nazuki started the story, covering every important detail from the Heartless attack. When she wound down, Tamao took over, covering what they knew of the brief encounter with the armor-clad being. How he seemed confused, didn't know what or who he was. That was when Nova had appeared, so she finished there. Surely he knew the details from the moment he had joined in? (52 of ? )

(sigh...might as well add some entertainment) The floor rumbled a little as a little pile of dirt rose up from the ground. A hideously blunt face rose out of the ground, complete with mottled brown hair and buckteeth. "Nazuki! There you are...and making ramen too!" The stout little woman popped out of the ground and took a seat by the otokage. Kagerou(which of course was the newcomer) examined the otokage and smiled heinously:"Well, aren't you a good-looking lad? Hey, Nazuki...ain't he just so cute?"
Nazuki's cheeks flushed red and she promptly turned around to select the largest bowl she could find to give to Kagerou. The woman was a menace, and quite embarassing to have her as an acquaintance in these situations.
20/30-ADV
Nazuki waited till Kagerou was fully engaged in her meal, and then leaned in close to the otokage, whispering into his ear:"sorry Kagerou behaves like this...she's actually a great person at heart, and taught me alot of techniques. Just don't try to lock her up in a jail or she'll eat her way out." Nazuki then went and dumped the leftover water from boiling the noodles.
The livlihood was returning to the streets now, it seemed. Several people in filthy rags gathered around Kagerou and they started singing. Nazuki watched as people came out of seclusion one by one until the streets were almost bursting with activity again...ALMOST.

Nova took into account what the two kunoichi had told him, but it didn't seem to piece anything more that he already knew together into a clear picture. "Thank you for your stories, any knowledge counts..." Then in a husher tone, but still loud enough to be heard,"Hm, looks like we're all lost about whats going on after all. I thought it may have just been me again." He seemed to flash a slight grin but it was quickly dissolved with the newcomer plunging out of the ground like a mole.
"Agh!... Kagerou..." Nova knew this stranger character very vaguely as an inhabitant of the village from all the way back in Oroichimaru's reign. Surely she was full of knowledge, though her personality conveyed otherwise to Nova.
As Kagerou commented his appearance he seemed to wince his eye with a small grin, and started to rub the back of his neck slowly with his left hand. After a minute, Nova fixated himself well upon a chair once more, when Nazuki whispered to him. Nova laughed a bit, trying to keep his mouth shut as she pulled away from his right side with her whisper of words.
Nova's stomach began to speak to him, and took over his entity to speak, "If it's not too much, I'd like a bowl of your finest Ramen, and another one for everyone here, including you two. My treat." In a flash, it seemed the cash had appeared withing his fingertips from within his sleeve. He slid it across the table in Tamao's direction, while Nazuki disappeared into the kitchen.

Well, the owner isn't here...thought Nazuki as she scooped out a few more bowls. The heat from the cooking made her sweat a little and she wiped her forehead with a towel hung on a chair nearby. "Tamao, stash up some cash for the owner of the place...but keep a little too, since this is almost un emploi de temps partiel." mrgreen Kagerou wasn't clued in on any of this, but she talked about how she defeated dozens of the creatures with her bear hands. Her motley friends laughed uproariously and started chugging beer.
22/30-ADV
Nazuki scooped out a large bowl for everybody and then put the fermented bamboo shoots, fish slices, and miso on the table for them to have at will. She then sat down and heaved a huge sigh...her every muscle and joint were aching, stretching ramen is really hard, especially after a battle with a crowd of scary critters that uses up all of your chakra. The back door opened and a wizened old man with a funny hat came out, rubbing his eyes.
"Eh? what're you kids doin'? the shop ain't open today!" shouted the old man in dismay. When he figured out that nobody actually saw him cuz he was so short, he gave up and talked to Tamao about the profits gained from selling ramen

Sinking in his seat, Nova tried to get away from all the ongoing in Kagerou's corner of the shop, while he waited to fill his tummy with food. A very aromatic steam had filled the air, and kissed Nova's nose, further drawing his hunger. From the door, a person whom seemed to be the owner of rather short stature had appeared, and Nova stood to greet the man.
"You have a magnificient establishment here," Nova turned back to grab the wad of cash, and slipped it to the man, "I'd like you to keep this place running in top shape." Then after a few more moments, his stomach rumbled a bit once more as well, "And if it's not too much, pack me some take out." Nova laughed, and handed the man the cash, whom had been hesitant to take it all. He would immediately start counting the fold, making sure everyone was covered. Nova then sat back down on the stool he had previously selected, and tried to keep his hunger dormant until the food arrived.

Kagerou's friends started yelling for ramen and Nazuki watched as the otokage waited for his share too. Nazuki tried getting up from her sitting position, and then noticed that her legs died on her. "Well...that's it. Help yourself, I aintcha mother!" said Nazuki as she tried to massage the life back into her legs. The little kid that came earlier was apparently getting caught up in this too, and his face was spliting into an awkward smile every few seconds as an abnormally large damselfly would land on his nose and tickle him. Nazuki was awed by the rate of recovery in this village...it was as if nothing happened today.

It was time. The heartless had waited far enough again. They had regrouped themselves and the black cloud of Heartless would be entering Hidden Sound again. They came this time with the Basic solders and the Big Body Heartless. They came stomping into the town destroying all what they touched. They were fast and they were like the plague. They started killing and destroying again. The heartless were like a plague again they would cause nothing but death and destruction to everywhere they touched down at now. Hidden Sound was open of the big villages they had to take down. There was only two more villages to attack now. Before they would force the Ninjas into a corner. As the attack continued so would the number and sizes of the Heartless would come. In a matter of moments there would be over 300 Heartless attacking the town.

Nova could hear stomping and screaming spilling through the outside village corridors. Quickly, kicking his chair aside, he stared out through the window at the darkness that had attacked their village once more. Nova's face dropped, and his arm raised. The battle sound from his hand rang, causing the bell in the center of the village to go off. They were at war. Everyone had already been outside, which had put them in more danger, but put them in the best position to try and mount a defense quickly. The weaponry of the village gathered together in the town center, where the monsters were marching straight into, the heart of the Hidden Sound. Every ninja was called to this spot, and Nova immediately dashed there as well. Looking back, he signaled for the entire ramen bar to follow in his footsteps. Nova would not let this village fall before himself, he only wished that another village could come to his aid about now. Then they could flank them, and have a good 2 v 1 odds. Nearly 300 heartless had marched their way through the village, spreading like disease, Nova thought. Disease... The village stood together, firmly, as the sun stood bright in the air, it was the longest day of the year, and Nova had to use daylight to his advantage.
Finally arriving in front of the ninja at the town square, he could already see the heartless stepping forward, the fear in each and every member of his village's eyes. Standing firmly like a general in a center piece in front of his ninja, he spoke in a loud, and articulate voice,
"Otogakure, we assemble together today, not knowing if we'll live for a tomorrow, but we will continue to fight, as long as there is blood running in our veins. As long as we are the Hidden Sound."
Nova turned to the sky, where his dragon appeared to fly straight into the sun. Doragon swooped downwards underneath Nova, and the kage carefully mounted himself upon the dragon, and turned to the crowd once more. The heartless were drawing closer, they vile darkness could be smelt. Otogakure was armed with every weapon they could find, some were mounted on horses, other animals. A little boy stood in front of the crowd, with merely a stick in his hands. Nova looked down at the kid, and held his sleeve out to him, helping him upon the dragon.
In his hands, he drew both the Raiga blades, pointing them up towards the sky, as he turned back towards the heartless. The village prepared their weaponry for a fight, they had mounted a back defense, with walls and various scenery to hide behind and attack from. Every clan was there, with their respective talents ready to aid the village's cause.
Then the signal came for the village to attack, Doragon let out a charged blast of light from his throat into the center of the dark creatures, and Nova took flight into the sky upon his back. The village began to use every jutsu in their arsenal, ones they had learned from other villages as well to begin to attack the heartless in anyway possible. The dark creatures fought back with equal velocity, tearing away at the chests of ninja, unleashing unusual rays of energy.
The battle had become a war.

Kaito, having spent quite some time away from combat, had instantly heard of "The End" of the villages, and that 9 had fallen. Of course, the news came slowly because of how limited a time people could enter Hidden Moon, but none the less it was appreciated news. Kaito was standing, hiding behind a corner of a building, using his Aura to see all around. He lifted his Cross Spear and turned around the corner. He immediately saw the people of Otogakure, including the Otokage charge into battle. Even a Dragon. Kaito charged straight foreward and held out a scroll, and out poofed his spear. He held it straight forward and charged into where the heartless were hoping to impale whatever got in his way.

Nazuki stood up and then promptly sat down again. She only trace amounts of chakra left in her system, not enough to even launch an offensive technique. And chakra is converted from stamina, and her physical condition isn't all that good either...how the hell was she supposed to wield a weapon?
She looked at the otokage, who, despite fending off the heartless for hours, still had it in him. What the hell was she supposed to do to help? Nazuki quickly walked over to the oldman, and told him to get whatever food he had brought into the shelters to feed those that were unable to fight.
25/30-ADV
The old man sensed the urgency in her voice and wasn't stupid enough to ignore the situation. He called several of his janitors and they started carrying food to the shelters. Nazuki felt like she was about to faint...not because of the battle but because of the working without respite. Unceasingly...
Nazuki gazed at Tamao, who still seemed as ready as ever, and wondered how it was possible that two people about the same age can expend their strength so differently. Nazuki went around and led several children towards the shelters...there wasn't alot she could do with no chakra.

The war had begun. The fight for Hidden Sound was on. This time they would not end. The Drago n had ripped threw there forces but the Heartless wern't prepared for that as the back up started to arive. Wyvrn shaped Heartless were flying into the city. The Wyvrn would attack the Dorogan. The HEartless looked up as the General was in sight flying above the rest of them.
"attack the Kage. Defeat him and the Village is our to devour!"
The HEartless commander called out. The Heartless commander saw one fool Kaito, charging aimlessly. He looked down as he pointed his finger and a large stream of fire coming out of his fingers trying to burn him alive. The HEartless Commander flew down towards him quickly swooping down trying to hit him with his powerful fist.

Komen stretched as his hiding from the world had come to an end. He had to beat his symboit back into it's submissive state with various mental and physical trials. He knew that something was wrong when the seal of auraraboris was burning with an intense pain when he was close to his members. "Damn...looks like I've missed a ridiculous amount..." He said to himself as he saw a small troop of Heartless warriors. Komen engaged his byakugan eye as he smirked guess this is definitely time to brush up on the basics.

Kaito saw a beam of fire coming directly at him from the sky. He couldn't really do much so he fell on his back to dodge the fire blast, then had to reverse somersault to dodge a huge fist that almost crushed him. Kaito jumped up from her crouch and landed right in the middle of the heartless. He started swinging his spear hoping to chop down some heartless to help the Otokage. "Now if that dude wants to get me, he's gotta destroy his own men" Kaito thought arrogantly. While he was whipping his spear about, Kaito reached into his pocket in mid swing, and whipped out a scrolll with exploding tags on it. He threw it into the air near some of the Wyverns hoping it would blasts and rain down some kunai. Kaito felt a sharp pain in his leg, onto to see that there was a dagger there, probably thrown. "s**t!" Kaito shouted as he ripped the dagger out of his leg, which made it bleed like a stuck pig. Kaito rolled away from an attacking heartless and put some medical tape around it, then charged right back into the fight. He watched at his scroll was waving in the wind above, following the Wyverns due to the wind. Kait used his spear to pole vault right into the heartless crowd, and started swinging away at them.
