Shigoro stepped in between Mello and Zane. "Enough of this, I think. You know my job description, Mello-san. I can see things as they truly are, and there is no deceit here. Now if we could please finish this business and continue with our original objective?"
There was no frustration or impatience in the last two words, merely emphasis.

Luo nodded slowly to the man with a slight smile, mouthing his words as well. "Good. Make sure to split them up into teams effectively. Give three genin to the jounin, and the other two to the saanin for balance. And don't forget about that stupid note we got from Konoha's council that you have to start calling your saanin a new name. I think I already told you that the mists is now satsubatsu." Luo then looked at Shigoro and nodded. "Fine then, let's get back down to business, I'll deal with this in a moment."

((Just thought I might as well post. so people know where I am. stare ))
Matsuya sighed, watching the others leave for the roof. It seemed more and more things these days had to be secretive. Frankly, Matsuya hated it. He hated that things that involved the village were kept from those who protected it. It was stupid, in his mind. "Some promotion. Im still not trusted with village issues!" His hand was running itself over and over the hilt of Shinsou. "I need something to do."

 Makoto UchihaA deep voice echoed into the room. "How rude, it seems two shinobis cannot be well mannered enough to respect they are in the presence of a kage, and shouldn't be insulting his intelligence" The voice spoke as a tall man walked into the room, he had dark red eyes, his hair long and black, spikey as well. He bore a strong resemblance to the legendary uchiha, Madara, except he wore a black like shinobi gear. He took steps into the office and bowed shortly. "There is nothing decietful about this man's appearance, muchless his friend Altair." He said looking at them, his eyes locking onto their's before shifting them to Luo. "I come from the rain village, asking you about something that needs answering. Rumors has an organization that has recently been started has been roaming around, causing problems. They bear rings and unusual characters within it." He said seriously, yet calmly. "Do you maybe know anything of these characteristics? They appearantly killed one of our shinobi, reaping his byakugan. It was unfortunate, he was about to get a promotion" He said seriously crossing his arms."You cannot comprehend the extent of my powers..."

((....we're on the roof.))
Looking at the man, Luo sighed to himself. The day was getting more and more interesting. He looked back at the two men before him, and then at the obvious Uchiha. One whom he had fought earlier today in an internal struggle. He decided it best to figure out what was going on somewhat discreetly. "According to some information on that man, he was one of two akatsuki members killed. And I believe Akatsuki rings bare strange symbols as well. You'll have to be more specific. What exactly are these men you speak of charged with?"

Makoto Uchiha "They are charged with murdering a genin, appearantly they are after specific bloodlines to create something, if not then collect strange objects. They are not after the bijuus like akatsuki are, otherwise the boy's demon would of been gone. We seek justice, rather then having to go to war and spread news that a possibility of a village alliancing with such crooks. Forgive me for intruding, but the men are surely lying, I can't help but wonder why would shinobi's go around to each village for no reason other then collecting odd objects, like rings, or peoples eyes though they are nothing more but mere children?" He asked, hoping the kage would see his point"You cannot comprehend the extent of my powers..." ((an internal struggle?))

(Very clever mibu, I don't like it but I respect it..and shruikan how would you know that Cody was stripped of his byakugan if you never bothered to dig up the corpse.) Mello was taken aback by the fact that his theory had been proven wrong. In fact a part of him still wanted to shout his arguements to the skies. Mello had learned to still his tongue though, and turned to the stranger who had interrupted his meeting while looking to the mizukage at the same time. "I apologize lord mizukage, this man must be who he claims to be." He closed his eyes for a moment to think of the appropriate wording, it was hard for him to simultaneously admit defeat and lie through his teeth. "I'm just one passionate about the truth." Mello said simply as their was no other way to put it. The man's accusations were quite hilarious in fact if he hadn't undergone strict emotional training during his anbu years he would've broke out laughing right then. Instead Mello leered at the man with eyes gleaming in deceit careful though not to look directly at him. Mello took a step back from the rest of the group ordering the words within his head so he would not make a single mistake. "Lord Mizukage I've heard the same rumors, a poor innocent rain ninja dressed in red clouds and painted nails. Parading around on enemy territory like it was his god-given right." Mello was playful though unlike the stranger he had emption behind his words it made them seem genuine. "In fact the story I heard was quite different Lord Mizukage. There were mist anbu witnesses to the scene, and I'm sure you know the man in question who was killed was an akatsuki." He proposed to all those around him including the mysterious rain ninja. Mello then fell to a down on one knee head low to the ground. "But I believed what really killed the man in question was overconfidence, thinking he could take on the great mist single handed. You have my greatest admiration lord mizukage." Mello stated, this of course was true in some aspects. He had earned a deep respect for mist in the recent events that had occured in front of his own eyes. "But really though why would a rain ninja care about the death of an s-ranked crimminal, unless." He began to speculate standing up once more as he spoke. "Unless you were an akatsuki as well, coming to investigate the death of a comrade, but once again that could be nothing but speculation." Mello finished happy with his words. Mello then turned to his comrade that had accompanied him, a man with false names but no true title, "Of course we have a business deal to continue lord mizukage if I may ask though could we try somewhere a little more private, I believe the floor beneath us has grown a pair of ears." He suggested referring to the number of individuals who had interupted their deal. The jar which Mello was hoping to sell had disappeared as he was moving across the roof, perhaps picked up secretly as he knelt down in admiration to the kage of mist.

Luo played devils advocate for a moment, attempting to get as many answers as he could. "I see your point, but they had not collected those eyes to keep them from my understanding. What do you think they are collecting artifacts and bloodlines for?" Luo then mouthed to the man, hoping he would activate his sharingan to see. "Are these the first kids you have encountered, or are there more?"

((xD, I don't, but noone knows that. you don't even have a body to show xD))
Makoto UchihaMakoto laughed alittle. "A very interesting theory you have there, however I beg to differ. See...if one such as yourself could of been an anbu member, surely you are. Then one would know to show proof of the kill. Eyes are no proof of what he was, where he was, or anything. As a matter of fact, I am hunting the akatsuki, and of course I couldn't help but know you invaded the rain before. We have our anbu and other shinobis from around the world with that proof. In the meeting hall surely. What other great place to seek out things you want? A hall full of chunins, all with unique abilities and special bloodline. Why, you even attempted picking up one of our chunins." He said walking around until he paused a few feet from the kage. "I have to ask....isn't it odd how all this time these men were here, they didn't bow or respect you like this until now? When they are questioned? Possibly...they are deceitful in their language. And of course, last I recall, rain and mist were having an alliance during the previous kage, which some villages were not happy with. Some would even go through the trouble to end it by saying such things like an akatsuki member dying and me being in it? I haven't been insulted like such since I was an chunin. Maybe, you never mentioned what you said till now, when your under the heat of fire and possibly exposed for who you truely are. I am allowed here from an allied village, who do you come from? Perhaps....you are the true enemy here" He said finishing, his expression unchanging. He meant business, and he wasn't about to let a fool here change the truth in things. "Even going as far as trying to manipulate one of his own shinobi with that sharingan.....I couldn't help but wonder" "You cannot comprehend the extent of my powers..."

Luo looked at the Uchiha, and then back at Mello, chuckling lightly. The rain ninja was right, he was not shown so much respect in earlier. Luo looked down at Mello on his knees and spoke. "I think if you are confident enough in your whereabouts, then you can promptly defend yourself here. I don't feel like relocating once more. Look me in the eye and tell me why you were at the chuunin exams." Luo had two shinobi he could call on at that moment to confirm this either way, he just needed to know what the man was going to say. The man's manner of speech was eloquent, and it seemed too eloquent to be natural. He noticed the pauses in his speech to think things over, the chocolate being a minor crutch to help him think. He was trained at speaking, and did a very good job of it too. What he didn't do a very good job of, is making it all seem natural.

((ahem Not even making eye contact with a single person in the room he immediately got down on his knees, looking at the floor as he began to speak. "Lord mizukage I am Mello Kaito of the village hidden in the stars," Mello began to explain his identity the corner's of his mouth twitching. "I ask your permission to speak with you freely," giving the image of him being a simple shinobi with a request from the mizukage. I've been respectful with you the entire time.. But anywho)) Mello looked the Mizukage in the eyes, his right eye still closed. "I believe you are referring to the jounin exams, as I would never step foot in leaf after what they did to our homeland." Mello insinuated, referring to the Raids performed on the village hidden in the stars. "There is an element of truth to the rain shinobi's words, I was there as a representative of one of the many Merchant Corporations that have overtaken star during the reconstruction process." He continued knowing this was the truth, Star being a wasteland had fallen to greed in recent years. "I work for a particularly rich family that owns the seat of the Hoshikage currently, and thus has the abilty to hire the best bodyguards money can buy. We were there as replacements because our stuffy leaders don't care to give any of us the time of day." Anger filled his voice as the last sentence was spoken. It was clear it pained him to think about how the village he had once loved was now completely overtaken by uncaring souls. "I didn't weild the blade who killed that akatsuki member, it was Zakuro a guard who works directly under the Vongola family which is another of the several families that make up the unforgive social hiearchy." He finished not wanting to delve any deeper into the affairs of the nobles currently found throughout his homeland. "But alright we shall continue this deal here if you wish it, I ask how much you are willing to pay for the eyes of an akatsuki, I have never had intentions for cheating or harming those around you lord mizukage.. and my behaviour hasn't changed I've been acting with the same code of etiquette I have from the start." He continued pointing out that he wasn't simply smoozing to get the Mizukage's trust, it was simply how he had been taught to carry out business. "Admittedly I'm not sure what to do here, if I argue my cause or back out both will make me suspicious, and with such elegant language and precision almost like you planned it that way, while I on the other hand have had to come up with my arguements on the spot." He stated to those around him, this was also the truth the thing Mello didn't seem to understand was how the Mizukage had never bothered to ask the mans own name before getting involved in this game of trust.

Makoto UchihaMakoto spoke up. "Of course....but what kind of business do you do exactly? And correct me if I am wrong but were you or were you not at the rain village, uninvited and unwanted, asking one of our top genins to join you? You and another man with a strange sword? Why were you there, asking to take our shinobi away? And even more so you were not invited" He said looking at him. "I have seen all sorts of people, people like you are always suspicious to me. I seen how you make business with others, manipulate them at will and even try to use anything you can to do it, like you tried with the sharingan. And the star village was crushed for certain reasons...some that I believe had more reasons then just greed. But it seems you have plenty of money from such a backround, yet you pluck our shinobi? Going as far to claim they are from the akatsuki? As I said, businessmen are willing to say anything to conveince others to hear what they want to hear weither or not its false. I ask you hand over our shinobi's eyes so we can give him a burial, if any at all. I'd fight you, but your not worth the time or trouble, as well as the proper place. Its rude to fight in another kage's office, even in his presence." He said as he turned to Luo. "I ask if you can give me the right to give my shinobi a proper burial, for any shinobi with dreams and trying to carry them out ought to have the right" He said calmly, his eyes showing how serious he was on the matter. Foerign shinobi shouldn't have other shinobi's parts and sell them, black marketing is illegal to many shinobi lands"You cannot comprehend the extent of my powers..."

Luo sighed to himself, nodding towards Mello's words. The man had in truth inevitably been backed into a corner. Looking up at the Uchiha, Luo posed a few questions. "I find it rather ironic that you speak of appearing where uninvited and manners, yet no one has asked for your presence here today, and I've had to decipher your last name from your appearance alone since your name was never stated." Luo then looked at both of them, placing his hands behind his back. "So Mello, what is the purpose of selling these eyes to me? What do you stand to gain from this transaction?" He then looked at the Uchiha. "Uchiha, where are the bodies of your men, and what will be done with his eyes?"

Makoto UchihaMakoto nods. "Forgive me on that behalf, the kage asked me to come here to investigate. I was merely tracking. My first name is Makoto Uchiha. As far as the body....I was rather hoping these two will explain it. Unfortunately from the way things are going I doubt they'll tell me. But the eyes are to be preserved, and placed in his memorial within the depths of rain, so he can join his family. Who long ago, as a matter of fact, fled leaf as a result of star nins. They came to us looking for shelter, which we provided. So the eyes the family would appreciate, as well as the hyuga family in leaf. Its an honorable thing, and that is my only request Lord Mizukage." He said, nodding formally, which a swordsmen, or any weapon master, would recognize as a sign of respect. "You cannot comprehend the extent of my powers..."
