Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Fool me once shame on you...fool me twice shame on me."

As Drago looked he activated his magic eye. He looked at him slowly and he began to see the world for what it was. Drago however he was looking at something more to be exact. Drago watched as he made his blood become a whip and then spread out quickly. Drago quickly formed a set of handseals as he formed the handseals the ice in the air formed a wall. as the ice wall formed and the splatter of blood hit the wall. As he leaned up against he sighed slowly. Drago used the ice wall technique.

"Eh..."

As Drago looked up he saw the sword coming. This time he adjusted to the attack of the sword rushing backwards. As he rushed backwards he came forward infront of Akai.

"So my student...We have to gather together the rest of the team..I don't think they will be easy to find after four years..I think it's time that I become a true leader.."

Drago said with a smirk.
Drago held his hand out as he had a slow smile grow across his face.

The world. It was once again showing its beauty to him. His eyes intook every single detail of the colourful surrouding flew into his pupil, programming the feeling of joy straight into his brain. The boy......or the man who had been walking through the village for the past hour looked much older then a previous, younger version of him that has been running around here for so long. His mouth grinned, as the cigarette that swiftly changed positions on his lips began to show a violent yellow colour. The smoke slightly shortened and with a sigh, zatoichi kaguya let go a giant spiral of steam. It slowly and majesticly floated above him and dispersed about the air. His expression slightly changed as he suddenly noticed something that he has not seen before, one was an old subordinate that was forgotten and the other one was an even older leader that was rarely remembered in his distant mind. As the shinobi's gaze switched targets first from the kaguya then to his master, zat's expresiion began to switch feeling. It was the feeling....of excitement. The old, forgotten thrill of the fight, the careless attitude and a bloodthirsty expression was all that he was to them before. True, a change has been made durring thepast four years but indefinetly, the old zat was still there somewhere. And with another puff from his cigarette, the student began to shuffle over towards his remembered comrades...

"Ryu and then Yuki? Alright, I'll catch up to you in Hidden Leaf in a moment. It wont be too hard, it seems you're slowing in your age." Akai says jokingly, as he chuckles and turns to look in Zat's direction with a raise of his eyebrow. His open red haori sweeping out about him as he smirks a little in Zat's direction. His arms raising and crossing across his chest as he stands there, waiting for Zat to catch up and join the party headed for Hidden Leaf Village in the search of the rest of their group in order to find out this mission that Drago planned to set them on. It would be a nice thing, to catch up with all of them, after all these years of just minor reaction training, a little strength training along with speed. He hadn't learned many techniques, but he had enhanced everything else a good deal. Which was always a good thing to have done when you're a shinobi. Blinking for a moment, Akai recalls something about Hidden Leaf in the past. "I do not think I'm allowed in Hidden Leaf anymore.. Last time I checked, a certain Anbu threatened to kill me, if I were to be spotted there again. Good thing I do not look the same, as I did four years ago." He says, with a roll of his shoulders, shrugging off such thoughts about Hidden Leaf. Chuckling a little, Akai turns and walks a few feet away, finding a carrier pidgeon stall, he writes down a message, and then sends the bird off to Hidden Cloud, to be found by Tsuki. Hopefully making things easier.

Drago looked and he appeared back In Hidden Sound. He left a trail of dust behind him and a rather long list of destruction. However he was back in the village of Hidden Sound. He figured Hidden Leaf would be to populated. Drago looked and he had a bowl of noodles in his hand. they wern't as great as they had in Hidden Craftsmen..but they would do for now. Drago yawned again as he was eating his noodles. He hadn't slept in a few days now..trying to gather together his team. The team would have an interesting mission.

"Eh...we don't have much time now..this took longer than what I expected...the exams are coming up..."

Drago mumbled to himself as he ate his noodles. He looked down at the ground waiting for them to show up. He looked up to the sky and wondered were his wife could be. The mission that they woiuld have be an assassination attempt. Drago finished staring at the sky as the sun happened to hit him in the eye.

"Oy.."

Drago said as he continued to eat his noodles.

"Yeah she received your message, you lucky I had just got back into town our you guys would've been s**t outta luck."

Tsuki teased playfully, Akai would feel a light weight on his shoulders, though it would barely be noticeable by him. Tsuki's body having reappeared in Sound Village with her resting herself perched up upon Akai's shoulders. Her legs dangling over the man's front while she was sitting on top of him rather casually as though she had been a toddler. Tsuki even had a brown paper bag, filled with pork dumplings. It had been awhile since the last time she ate and just because she had to go on a mission soon didn't mean that she didn't have time to eat, she was a growing girl after all. Starting to munch on to one of the dumplings she looks into the sky, before pointing up and giggling a little. Swallowing her food before she began to speak.

"Hey look, I even beat your carry pigeon back here Kai-kun."

She teased as the winged foul came back once more, obviously a tad bit baffled on how the kunoichi had gotten here so fast and even had time to pick up a dozen order of fried pork dumplings. As the bird perches itself upon her shoulder again she smiles and tears off a piece of her dumpling to feed it to him. Tsuki turns to Drago when he mentions the Jounin Exams. Tilting her head curiously to the side she seemed a little puzzled by the man's words. There was no way that Drago wasn't a Jounin already was there? Akai she could understand but Drago too? Wasn't he the Kage of Hidden Magic or something? Why would he need to take the Jounin Exams? She simply shook her head at the thought and side, starting to munch on her second dumpling.

"So.....as I asked before Drago-sama. Why are you gathering the old team together? Like Kai-kun said, surely it's something urgent if it's something that you can't do on your own right? Is it something about Reina-sama and your child? I heard you and Neko-chan talking back in Cloud."

Drago looked and he sighed slowly. As he cracked his knuckles he took off his mask and he sighed slowly.

"Well the reason why I gathered you all here today...is because I missed you all so much..."

Drago said slowly as he looked around and he let off a small laugh. DRago looked seriously at Tsuki. When he heard his son and wife brought up. He nodded his head no. He looked and he placed his hand on his head.

"We are gathered here together to do a mission...A mission that would rather..cause maybe a war if I did it within my own village..So I have gathered together Team Drago.."

Drago tilted his head backwards as he sighed again.

"This will have to wait but the mission is the following...One To Assassinate Dante Ella. She must be killed by any means necessary..and anybody that happens to be traveling with her."

Drago's voice went cold for a moment. He then looked back up and continued to talk.

"As you all know I am the creator of the Cool..there are Three other huge organizations..The Akatsuki, Double Helix, and Friend..is anybody here today among one of those groups..IF so please say so now..I have a feeling that things are going to get really ugly really fast...There will be no bad blood between us if we speak up now..."

Drago continued on with his speech.

"As for my Son and Wife..since Tsuki brought them up..It is true..I havn't seen them in four years..apparently nobody has...IT is uknown what has happened to them..but this group is not my personal tracking dogs..so I am not asking for you to find them for me...but if you do happened to come acrose Reina Rose or Akou Rose it would be proper to tell me..However...There are only a few of you that I know I am alive..but..yeah.."

Drago looked up and he saw his student as he had a small smile at her. She was becoming more outward. She wasn't so introverted. He was proud..she was growing up. Drago laughed slowly. Drago then looked at them one more time. His team. His proud team of many..

"Eh..That's all for now..we will meet back up in a few days..I unfortunately have to train for this stupid exams..since ...I unfortunately lost my paper work to be a Jounin so I been depromoted.."

Drago had a few sweat drops roll down his head. He crossed his arms.

"Any objections..?"

Tsuki hadn't been the least bit cold despite Akai's body being close to freezing for just anyone else other than him, Tsuki had traveled the world and had experienced all types of crazy temperatures, and in short she had gotten use to them all so the cold didn't really bother her too much. Continuing to eat her lunch as Drago spoke of an assassination mission, Tsuki smirked, having never really killed too many people unless she had to. She was one of compassion yet at the same time she also lacked any serious emotion for human life when she was the one designated to take it. Everyone had to die once after all, and Tsuki had come back from the dead when it happened to her, so no doubt there was some type of re-spawn base down there in the Afterlife so this endless cycle of life was well....endless! Though a mission was a mission and as she reached into her bag to grab another dumpling, her assumptions were right about Reina and Akou having gone missing for four years, pretty sad since to her it sounded like they had vanished a little after that they had gotten married. Maybe Reina had gotten cold feet 'after' she had gotten married? Either way searching for them was an entirely different case then the one at hand. Though as Drago asked if anyone had been apart of one of the groups he called out Tsuki blinks, nearly choking on her food though managing to swallow it down. Rubbing the back of her head as a wide suspicious grin curls over her lips she began to wipe the grease from the dumplings onto her rubber-suit like armor. A massive animated sweat drop fell from the side of her cheek in slight embarrassment as she became aware of a mistake she made...though of course it was nothing that she couldn't handle herself.

"Well actually....shortly before I left I had paid a visit to the Double Helix. I hadn't gone there to join but I did snag my hands on a few of their enhancements. However, when they tried to recruit me in order to keep the things I took, I sorta had their doctors remove the attachments. They actually didn't give me any hassle when I declined their offer. Though I'm not sure if you can count this as 'being a part of that group' or not. Heh."

She explained before her attention was soon averted by the newest addition to Team Drago, at least to Tsuki anyway since the woman had been the second to join after Akai. Blinking curiously she examined the man's features, though it didn't seem like he was anything too out of the ordinary. Seeing as he got here right after Drago's orders Tsuki grins faintly and decided to fill him in. Looking over her side to him as she bit into another dumpling, this one a bit larger.

"Neh, it's pretty cut and dry really. We just gotta find and assassinate Dante Ella and anyone accompanying her, shouldn't be too hard with the four of us there right? Or...the two of us since Akai and Drago have to take the Jounin Exams. Do either of you guys have an idea to where they are?"

" I agree Akai...we need to assign jobs. Heres what im thinking" Zat blasted ot a puff of smoke, thus the pause and commenced with his explanation. "The easiest way to finish her, is to have one person use some kind of a holding maneuvre or a jusu, and the other person bast her with a really powerful move. Oh, and obviously someone pulling her subordinates away from Dante and not interfiering. Since I dont know you that well Tsuki, im going to have to ask you for one of your powerful moves, you don't have to answer but my guess is that you will be ending up to be...the executor, Akai I don't have any question about you'r ice controlling powers so I'm asking you to be the trapper. And seeing as how I am the only one who barely use jutsu, ill be the defender. Now I'm not including Drago in this for a simple reason that he could very well play any part, so all of our objecives have to work around him. If he decides to be the striker, Tsuki, you will move with me to defend. I dont think he will be interested in defending, but if he does, I will go into trapping. And if he will try to trap, Akai, i would like you to move into executor or defender. I can't go any futher right now because I have no idea how much combinations we can pull off with out combined jutsu. Dante is an unkown person to me, but I'll have to guess that he...or she is a powerful shinobi, if he is wanted dead by our sensei. So we are going to have to create an emergency situation, if one of our members will be in deep trouble". The man lets out another puff of the grey substance, and reaches into his clothing. After a while the boy holds out 4 kunai, each with what looked like to be an explosion tag "These are special kunai. Instead of exploding, these weapons will create a colourful burst of painless confetti that is infused with chakra, thus making the confetti light up. The good thing about these is that they are seen and also heard, because they will make a large pop when activated. Please take one and use when in trouble. As soon as we see one of these, it will be the code to retreat towards the position it has been used in, and defend the member that is needed in support. I would also let one of these go, if a member is missing and if the mission is completed. ". He exhales the smoke one last time and swiftly throws away the charred cigarette, with a unnoticable flick of the wrist. Zat then makes a smile and says his last comment"Again, This is just a suggestion, I'm not apointing myself leader, nor that I want to be one. I'm just saying that such jobs would make our mission much faster and painless.."
