Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh Hidden Moon... I'm from the Hidden Moon village. " Shikuyo said as the blank headband around his neck began forming a moon cresent on it. " So which jinchukki was it."

"Engaging a Jinchuuriki in it's Hometown is always dangerous... The Tanuki is the most powerful in it's hosts hometown and in the Deserts of Wind Country... So it has been confirmed, the boy is the Tanuki...?" The mysterious leader of the Akatsuki had once again reappeared, still dressed as a grey robbed Hunter Nin rather then one of his own. Even here he wore his mask, nins could be captured, but they could never reveal what they didn't know to begin with. The leader out streched his hand towards the scroll taking it from Shikuyo. "Very impressive... I doubted that you would survive that particular assignment... bringing something like this, should give you more then enough credit with the others... to me it means nothing, but you shall be one of us from this point on. I have no ring to give you, but seek out the Zero and he will provide you with your name. For now, you two will be our eyes, we know the location and containers of One and Nine, we need information on the other seven." The leader removed something from under his heavy cloak, a small box, wooden in nature, ornate in design. The leader opened the box from it poured countless phantasms and ghouls, this was Pandora's Box, one of the many strange items in the leaders possesion. Releasing the Soul Edge from it's scroll and then placing the tip at the entrance to the box, with little effort the blade entered the box bending normal physical boundaries. The box then disapeared underneath the cloak of the man. He stood there for a moment seeing if they had anything to say to their leader or if they needed further clarification.

Shikuyo watched as the Hunter Nin in the grey robe took the scroll from the hand he had summoned. then the jutsu was released and it went back into the ground. " Where is this one known as the Zero and who is he? " " I have already been told who has the two, three, four, five, and eight tailed demons. " Shikuyo thought to himself as he waited for an answer to his question.

"You may return to Moon, but I doubt that once found the Tanuki will remain in one spot, I've encountered it before, now that I think of it, he will most likely seek out solace in stronger people then himself, so be wary that is all I will warn you of, following him might not be the worst idea as they tend to congregate. The Zero, the man of masks, where he is now, even I don't know, ask him to contact him through the ring on his hand." the hunter motioned to the other member standing next to him. The masked leader began to fade into the darkness of the base.

" Oh he's the Zero." Shikuyo thought to him self as he turned away and opened a portal in front of himself. The moon on his headband and his face disappeared while he walked to the portal" I'll be back with the Jinchuuriki. " he said as he walked through the portal.

“Phaw... that took, freakin' forever…” Adonis wiped the sweat from his brow as oversaw the work. The network of soldiers still loyal to Damian wasn’t too large so quite a few of his own clones were transporting things. One main nin was doing allot of the work a series of Flying Thunder God tags were working to transport all of the various supplies and items from the old base to the new base. It wasn’t like their was any area in the base that was restricted to him, anything that wasn’t bolted down and quite a few things that were, were being taken and repossessed by Damian’s Akatsuki. “Last Box huh?” Adonis stood there in the main chamber with Pandora’s box under his arm. The removal was complete, everything had been taken. From his finger flew a small spark which blossomed into black flames. “Spark of the Grand Death Fire.” Adonis exited the base. Where he began to…. Dance…. He danced feverently as if possessed this was no ordinary jig, but the Dance of Posideon, invoking the sea god shook the earth with earthquake level tectonic shifts, what wasn’t burned by the Grand Death Fire would be brought crashing down by the dance. “It is done… no looking back now…” and with that Adonis vanished from view.

Shikuyo arrived at the at the Akatsuki base to see it burned down. "It's seems they the Akatasuki have died before they could get started. They should be no threat to the Ghost Elites now... I need to report this to Shino." Shikuyo could sense the chakra of another in the area. " Jono is here. " Shikuyo began walking to the edge of a cliff as Akira began gaining conscienceness . " Your lucky I don't need you anymore." Shikuyo pulled off Akira's headband and threw him off the edge of the cliff. (( You can use your demon now. I think that should be able to save you some how))

Afterwards Shikuyo tied the headband around his his neck and reverted back to his normal appearance because Jono would not be able to recognize him with any face. Then he started to run in the direction of his chakra for a while until he saw him. "Jono!" Kuroi shouted as he saw Jono walking down a pathway.
