Welcome to Gaia! ::

"There is the small matter of my bounty..." Altair stated simply as he still held the head of the Raikage. He sheathed his blade as he watched the shinobi dissapeared. There was something appealing about him that Altair wanted to find out, perhaps the man could supply him with more jobs.

As Luo stared at the man, his sharingan allowed him to read the lips of the man. He chuckled slowly, looking straight at Mello. "I owe you nothing. The eyes were not given to me, nor was it my decision to give them to Makoto. As you said before, this future has me making no decisions when it comes to the eyes. Therefore, I owe you absolutely nothing. If you want questions answered, I suggest you track down Makoto." Although insulted, Luo held a polite smile which seemed to suggest that it was in the visitors best interest to leave the matter be, and exit his village. He wondered who it was that trained the man, it seemed he didn't do a good enough job of teaching him to chose his words carefully.

As Tares spoke, Luo looked briefly at Altair, keeping his left eye on Mello. "Altair, I will pay you for this deed nonetheless. However, I wish to speak to you and the Kusakage in private when these men leave."

Shigoro carefully assumed an expression of extreme offense when Mello spoke under his breath. He inserted a calculated amount of rage into his voice as he grabbed Mello firmly by the arm. "Apologies, Lord Mizukage. I will see to it that Mello is reprimanded for this. We are leaving, Mello."

He tightened his grip on Mello's arm and led him towards the door that led off the roof, carefully moving his hand so that a Morse Code message reflected off his ring into Mello's eyes. USE SOME TACT, SIR. THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR UNTHINKING WORDS.

He touched the door and opened it, dragging Mello into the Mist and closing the door behind them.

((Can't be on for long, just wanted to finish this up so I don't get even further behind.))

"Tsukasa Reijin huh? I have no problem taking this guy out Tares..." Altair stated as he looked over at Luo, his voice deep and hoarse. He adjusted his hood as his face grew darker, dweeling in the shadows of it. "So what did you want to speak about...Lord Mizukage," Altair chuckled sarcastically.

"Info would be nice...appearance, what abilities did he use?" Altair asked him as he took out his blade. "His head shall be mine," Altair grinned.

Luo cursed under his breath as he looked up at the two. "He attempted to kill you because you put Altair up to the task of killing Hirose, the man he was protecting. Reijin is the last of the Reijin clan, and they use magnetism abilities which is why he has a gourd of liquid metal. He stopped by here earlier asking if I needed someone killed and when I said Hirose, I almost found myself in a battle with him. Tread lightly with that one. His weakness is water, his magnetism isn't as powerful when around it, and since water isn't conductive, he can't control it. I'll send some hunter-nin as well with Altair." Luo then looked at Altair with a sort a glare. "I don't take kindly to sarcasm Altair, refrain from it in the future. I find it rather odd and coincidental that you not only have the blades of a hunter-nin that were just created a month ago which you claim to be family heirlooms, but you follow strict hunter-nin procedure by bringing me the head of the man you killed. In addition to this, the only other person on earth that knows the true hunter-nin style is the 'late' Zane Hajime of the mist. Now the last time he went missing, he underwent a certain set of procedures and used a body in our graveyard to trick his country into assuming his death. Being the greatest medical shinobi in the countries, Zane very well has the capability of doing more than just changing a dead body to his likings. Take off your hood, so that I may see your face Altair." Luo glanced at Tares for a moment, before looking back at the man. He would not be bested again by his best friends often childish playing dress-up acts once more. And he had a feeling Blade had his hand in this...again. As Luo finished speaking, he walked over to the carrier hawk coop on the rooftop, writing a message and sending it on its way to rain country. He had forgotten about the chuunin exams, and Fordon had been training vigorously.

((In a sense Luo should remember what Makoto told him earlier, about a group hunting things. xD))
