Kameyo wasn't trying to appear suspicious, but considering she felt Toso to be too trusting and optimistic, she felt it was her responsibility to act as his foil. However, her stand-offish demeanor eased after Kagerou's assurance that Konoha had leaped to Arashi's side to help with the Kogarashi attacks.
Beyond that bit of smoothing, she was so unmoving that she didn't appear to even be listening to anything until Toso introduced her, mentioning something about her last name that made her heart flutter in a stupid, high school romance kind of way. She tried to stop it from reaching her face, sufficiently covering up any emotion beside interest when a file was handed to Selina; Kameyo leaned over the rockstar's shoulder to catch a peek, being nosy as usual.
"Hmm, yes, very interesting indeed," she said as she skimmed the file, moreso to get on Selina's nerves than to actually suggest that the content was interesting. A moment later, however, a projectile broke through for Toso, but only Selina was fast enough to intercept and take the blow. Immediately, her blood froze and she made the briefest hand motion, granting her doton and fuuton hearts the ability to leap out of her body - one from her upper chest and one launching from her back - and materialize as tendril monsters.
She nodded briefly at Kagerou's direction, sending the creatures to leave the room in search of the two assassins. As they left, Kameyo turned her gaze down to Selina, heart clenching at the sight. Kagerou could handle the medical care better than Kameyo, of that much she was sure. She turned to Toso, instead, with a look of helplessness that she covered immediately after. "Who wants you dead?" She asked stupidly, her brain hardly catching up to her mouth again. "I thought this meeting was a secret," she said, sparing the non-Arashigakure inhabitants an accusatory glare.

Sonyo sat quietly disinterested for most of the talking, lightly bowing her head in greeting as Lahlil introduced her. The less the payed attention too, the less of a chance she gad to blow her cover; they were talking about her ex-husbandβs student and her current boyfriend after all, and she couldnt be partial if she just flat out didnt listen. Sonyo bristled at the mention of a doomsday protocol, but before she could interrupt Shiro, shukaku picked up a familiar chakra stopping her dead in her tracks. Shiro finishes and a slow clap sounded somewhere out of her sight. Her eyes darted to Masahiro as he walked in to the group, her heart stopping in her chest.
He was alive? He was here?! It took everything she had not to jump up and greet her old friend. Golden clawed hands gripped eachother tightly, her hazel eyes bright. Masahiro looked at her with a knowing glance, putting her on the spot. Goddammit, Masa.
But then suddenly the pink haired model one was moving, shoving the Arashikage away. She saw the senbon now as it pierced her, and Sonyo was moving. Masahiro would quickly see that Sonyo was not the young, fragile girl he remembered. A huge sweeping movement brought ice forming a dome around the entire building they sat in. When several figures made their way to exit, the ice would part like water, then refreeze behind them as it would for anyone who tried to exit. The ice darkened the area slightly due to its thickness, but was still clear enough to see out of.
Sonyo let out a soft sigh, dropping her hands to her side. And she thought this was going to be uneventful. The cloaked woman looked towards Kagerou to make sure she didnt need her, then around to everyone else. βIs anyone else injured? Lady Hokage?β
SHIONxxxxxMORI Shion's reaction was... tame considered to the rest of the council. Kagerou sprung into action almost as immediately as Selina. The threat was diffused, and even the leaf nin seemed to be jumping in to help. Shion would breath a sigh of relief as she sunk back into her chair in an act of uncharacteristic sloth. Yes, Shion liked to fight, and yes, she wanted nothing more than to spring into action and kick someone's a** right now... but do you know how hard she worked on this outfit? This wasn't easy for her; she wasn't just about to rip her skirt, smudge her makeup, or mess up her hair. At least, not without a good reason to. Maybe this is why Shion never really got gussied up...
Start high, and work your way down to your actual goal. That was the first rule of negotiation. He knew full well the odds of that treaty getting approved were negligible, but it overshadowed the two he genuinely wanted. Which were both easily and collectively accepted. Now he had the resources his empire needed without need for military action to acquire them. In the same breath it would be the first steps to ensure he had the time he needed to regrow the strength of his forces. However, it was not all well and good. The glint of a bolt managed to miss Toso, but instead impacted Selina, eliciting a sound he believed no idol should have to make. Rising to his feet the man sighed as he shrugged off his leather coat,"This meeting was a secret but there is so much chakra here that even an amateur sensor would likely have ease detecting it. Deal with the threat we have, we can ask questions later." As he spoke his heart began to beat, his pulse rising, adrenaline coursing. It was such an annoying thing having to deal with assassins, yet it was something he was intimately familiar with. Blinking his byakugan active he easily located the assailants. However, before he could begin to move he felt himself grow lighter, even fly. Landing back upon the ground he shook his head,"Whoever casted that, save your chakra. But stay with me, if you can."
All his life he had been a weapon, an object aimed and fired to the destruction of the immediate area. He somewhat even reveled in that nature, yet, he had to openly admit that he had somewhere along the line forgot what he was, where he came from."Selina, I am sorry, you were right." Now he was in a summit attacked by assassins, while trying to create his dream. Peace for his people, peace for his nation, peace for his family. Peace for himself. These assassins threatened that dream. Under his breath he muttered to himself, maybe shion, or kagerou would be able to hear,"I will find my dream."
Making his way towards the end of the pagoda, each step accented by a pulse, a streak, of his silvery chakra. Before it erupted around the man bathed in its aura, moving and streaming like flames adorning the cloak which manifested upon his shoulders. (Tenseigan activated) Yet, this was Shiro, there was nothing like overkill, the silver chakra soon became rife with lightning as he married his body and blood together in a manifestation of his being. (Lightning Armor Activated) With an exhale he would rise into the air, powered by his own flight, and disappear. A streak of silver towards the assassin. He would gauge how much more speed he would need when he got closer to the target. But for now he was well within the 5000 miles of range his byakugan now held in this ascended state.

The user coats their body and any object they hold with lightning chakra, giving an aura of translucent crackling lightning that is the color of their chakra. This technique stimulates the nervous system of the user, increasing their speed and reflexes supremely.

tabWell that went easier than expected. With scarcely any fuss at all the dossiers on Masato were accepted and it seemed as though everything was going quite well, the offer of that Lahlil was so desperately after was placed on the table, of which the Hokage was positively giddy to accept before she was interrupt by the Lord Diamyo bringing before her three contracts to sign between the three of them. Normally something such as this wouldn't give her paise, after all peace was the centering reason of calling for this summit in the first place. Though no matter how she thought of it, the combined extermination effort for dealing with rogues did not sit well with her at all. As a matter of fact the Kage was more than a little appalled at the seemingly resounding approval from those on Arashigakure's side. A simple fact that was perhaps showcased, and then overlooked, in Masahiro's speech.
With a delicate smile, Lahlil pulled each paper to her in order to sign her signature. The order on rogues being purposely left for last. "I'm not defending rogues. But, I think that you are missing a valuable lesson from the war that we just endured. Before the meteor fall on my village, Korgarahi played their message on repeat trying to convert my now citizens into joining their cause. They were upset at the way villages had been treating them, that in their eyes they were only pushing back against someone bigger than them. As such I feel that this contract of yours might end up pushing those into exactly what you fear. Furthermore, you can bet that any who manage to escape the grasp of essentially three full villages, will a threat strong enough to totally eclipse Korgarahi. This signature of mine comes with the warning that I won't fear monger others into joining my village or dying. Until they something earn it, I won't be labeling anyone who wants to come and go from my village as a 'rogue' that needs be hunted."
Perhaps it was a foolish move risking the peace that she wanted so badly all over an ultimatum. Hiding the sinking feeling in her gut, Lahlil hoped that the reason of her words would prevail in the moment while she signed her name on the final paper. All while incessant nagging nabbed at the back her mind. Ugh I need something for my head... ache.. wait a minute. Looking up from the wooden table, eyes squinting, Lahlil scanned the treeline for anything suspicious. Unfortunately for her it seemed that her sagely sense had been right in it's assumption of negative emotions lurking nearby. Eyes wide with shock the Hokage made a move despite her being far too late. The next few moments passed by quickly, a bullet of chakra was fired, the Arashikage caught unaware, and his advisor Selina taking the blow in his stead.
Throwing a 'please check on it' look at Sadayo, the Hokage herself took only a few steps closer before Lady Kameyo's accusatory glare stopped her in her tracks. "It was, a secret I mean. I even made sure to sow false dates to everyone not currently present. And I am uninjured, thank you for your concern Lady Yuki."
____β¦ Seizetsu Kakkou [ Gruesome Form ] Rank: A Description: While the Sakkakugan is active, the user will place a powerful mixture of techniques over themself- a combination of genjutsu and transformation abilities. This technique results in the user taking on most any form they desire, though it is almost always a monstrous self-manifestation forced out by mental stress. This genjutsu body is able to interact with physical forms, basically meaning that the genjutsu itself is "real." Guild Description: Forms created are given by their size relevant to the chakra given, minus jutsu abilities. E-ranks are about lizard-sized, D-ranks cat-size, C-ranks humanoid-sized, B-ranks lion-sized, A-ranks elephant-sized, S-ranks whale-sized, and S+ranks gain an auto physical heal while becoming dragon-sized. (i.e. mega huge) People trying to force the user out of this state require double the amount of chakra to be expelled, in the form of Kai. Cannot be combined with Kugai.

"Ultimately this is my fault. same." The Arashikage would say after giving his thanks to Selina a brisk and serious nod of appreciation which carried with it all the thanks possible in a state of urgency. Short sense of it the kage would compose himself trying veer away from the nagging sense of panic. This was at its core more or less his fault. Quickly did he respond to Kameyo. "Many people lady Kameyo. The wounds I've left of the land of lightning are still somewhat fresh and my secession was not one made via a democratic decision but hasty decision making." Toso essentially stated boldly and clear as day that the ascension of Arashigakure was against the will of its own inhabitants and the decision was made out of necessity, although that could also be assumed as panic in regards to Kogarashi's attacks.
Toso would stand to address the elephant in the room. "I've the need to apologize Lady Nevarra. I am not what you would call a well 'loved' leader currently. My dynamic shift of turning what was once a nation of expressive militant might into a single floating isle of isolationism has not sat well with many. It is more than likely somewhere along the line in my own upper echelon your messages to me were intercepted and this meeting compromised via an act of espionage or treason. Albeit I am willing to wager treason. Still I would like to continue our delegations if that's possible." The Arashikage's tentacles manifested in a manner equivalent to saying he was on guard. At the very least the Arashikage didn't expect the leaf of foul play in fact it seemed he was wholeheartedly certain what was happening here could only be his own nation at fault and his supposedly terrible reputation of which he made the kage opposite him aware of. "I would believe that Mr.Chosokabe's proposition carried the clause that those classified as 'rogue' are those who were not properly dismissed from service. As opposed to the occasional wanderer." -----------Meanwhile
Any who opted to head in the direction of the corner of the island would find it blanketed in a red mist as they navigated through the trees. The mist itself reminiscent of blood. In fact it was blood. If any of the medical persuasion entered this area that was very much made apparent as each inhale was laced with a copper like after taste in the back of the throat. Similarly, those with sensory prowess as they drew closer to this corner would begin to start suffering from slight headaches. What was once the ability to discern the assumed ranks of individuals would also begin to fade.
Those who opted to stay at the pagoda, however, would find something of a man appearing from the ground as if he was hidden there all along. How he eluded detection would be an unforeseen mystery but he took absolutely no immediate actions to indicate any form of threatening. Moreover, he carried nary any aura of malcontent. If anything he was decorated, and with a rapier at his side. What was this man's purpose? Well, unbeknownst to everyone currently it was simply to ruin credibility and the meeting in general. That much for certain with his pompous air. "He would be most undoubtedly correct in this being his fault. I mean right. Truly what kind of leader takes action without the consent of his people?" The man would shrug sigh and give off an air of tiredness. "I'd say that was a tyrant if anything, and does the village of the new hidden leaf really want to negotiate with a tyrant?" He would slowly stroll towards the Leafs side but still maintain a distance of at least three persons away."Take it from me oh newly appointed leader of the new leaf, to negotiate with this 'villages' kage would be nothing short of inviting chaos to your own village. You heard it yourself did you not. The man is loathed. By allying yourself with him you make enemies of his enemies and would it not be more fortuitous to leave this problematic monarch to his own devices. If anything, I due declare for the security of your own nation it may even be best to kill the tyrant now while your village has the chance. After all, isn't it a bit unfair that Arashi hardly suffered any losses and here your village is having escaped the brink of extinction? Moreover how can you trust a man with such an unflinching face? Why he could be plotting to have you killed himself this very moment. Anything to say? Ar-ash-i-ka-ge? " Everything the man was saying seemed to glide off his tongue if anything he only sounded agreeable. The Arashikage himself attempted to dismiss this man's claims with his own...and yet via some supernatural means...he could neither open his mouth or produce a single word, as if he was compelled into silence. The Defense of the Arashikage's character would have to come from someone other than himself. Genjustu-Voice of Influence [ Eikyou no Koe ]- A-rank & "?"
Shiro would find his pursuit coming to an end several feet above the open ocean, but it wasn't due to catching up. He would briefly touch the side of his temple and seem to speak to himself. Clearly these were not their true names in the way he spoke them. "This is Hermes, assassination attempt has failed I am currently being pursued by the one true leader, I leave the mission to you Hades and Socrates." The man whom seemed to be flying via a peculiar device simply stopped and turned around. Expectedly this was far from the island, so far to the degree that normal sensors would be incapable of eavesdropping. Ripples in the water as the man had taken a 180 degree aerial turn and what seemed to be air projecting from his back made its way to the ocean surface."As to be expected of the one true leader. Its an honor to have been pursued."The man would say confidently to Shiro. "and yet it still baffles me why someone so great would become subservient to that current mockery of what is supposedly a kage. I've no intention to fight the man I am bound to by blood and his nation of which that squid has hardly any semblance of loyalty or patriotism for in the slightest. I will accept my death should the true leader will it but know so long as I breathe, I will never see that man sitting in the seat of kage as nothing more than a traitorous farce."

The Arashikage had made a choice for his people, for the Hidden Village under his stead, and it seemed, for his own state of mind. These were things the Former Hokage understood well enough, as well as the pressure of a village enacted against you in war-time. The silver-haired man adjusted in his seat and framed his lips to speak as another man rose from below.
His lips refused to part. I have no Mouth, and I Must Scream.
It was here where the oddities of the room and the scream in his senses connected. His eyes met with Tosokurui's and he saw the overlay of another's chakra, the same foreign chakra as the man before them. The pinwheel Mangekyou spun as he focused on the man, chakra welling within himself to break the illusion.
"If you'd pass judgment on a man, give him the benefits of defending himself." The Former Hokage spoke, his eyes locked now on the man as his hands held ready to act.

Byakko turned his head the moment the new person appeared. He moved ever so slightly in front of Lalhil while keeping his focus on the new man. His more dramatic action was done to allow the tiger to subtly sneak into the shadows of the crowd. After all, if the fight did begin with him, then it would not be wise to gang pile on him with so many other people. The human version listened to the narrative as a lot of the pieces of these negotiations started to make more sense. Toso wasn't here just out of the goodness of his heart; he needed to be here. This alliance with Konoha was his big break to look like the hero to his people. Toso's disapproval also explained why he brought such an armada of people to this meeting. As evidenced by the girl who threw himself to save the Arashikage, these are probably the only people who he could trust in case his assassins followed him, or in case they managed to sneak into the crowd of Konoha agents. That is to say, that's how Byakko would have tried to assassinate Toso. This whole ordeal of speeches were things he only would do when trying to maintain his Kazuto facade. Still, until someone threw the first punch, Byakko was staying silent.
Selina let out a loud groan when the senbon was surgically removed through the use of chakra. She gritted her teeth through the pain as Kagerou began to mend her. When the process was complete Selina felt the burning sensation pass, and took in a deep breath to calm herself. "You're amazing Kagerou. Thank you." Selina said with the sincerest smile. Although she did not know the other woman well, the two did work together to fight against Sandayu in the great battle of fake Arashigakure. The selfless manner in which the woman worked to heal all of the wounded was a great source of inspiration for Selina when she felt overwhelmed by the godlike man. When she was also appointed to a position in Toso's advisers she knew that they were in good hands. After all, anyone who could give so selflessly to others must carry the light of a magical girl within them.
Selina hesitantly pushed herself back to the feet. She was in awe of the lack of pain she felt. Kagerou's powers were truly on another level. Still, as she readied herself to pursue the attackers, a man emerged from the shadows. Once again Selina moved in front of Toso as her badge was drawn. Her emphatic powers allowed her to sense the disdain and hatred which resonated within him toward the Arashikage. The young lady reached for her badge and held it out in front of her. "Since you are a citizen of Arashikage, that means you are bound to Arashikage court.Therefore, under the authority of the APD, I am placing you under arrest for trespassing on negotiation grounds, inciting tension between two foreign nations, the wounding of an APD officer, and the failed assassination of the Arashikage." She snapped at the blond man. She paid no mind to the words he spouted because her empathy powers told her that he was not here to be swayed. "You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to turn yourself in without a fight. If you do so then under APD guidelines you will be brought in safely and without injury." She stated as sternly as her melodic voice would allow. Despite being personally injured by his forces, Selina was an officer of the law, and knew that the following of protocols was essential in both typical society, but especially important in the face of a possibly allied nation.
_______________ βOut Of Contextβ Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―Β―
The surgeon general did not receive the answer she requested. However, seeing Selina's smile and heartfelt praise, she knew that she didn't need the answer. Smiling politely, she nodded, "Please remember to take care of yourself."
The peace was short-lived. Well, it would have been short-lived even if the villain hadn't made their appearance. All that changed was that she could not chase after the emperor as he had ordered. In fact, as the situation evolved, Kagerou almost regretted sending off the emperor. His tacit political awareness would have been valuable here.
But only almost. After all, the other perpetrator did have to be apprehended by someone, and she could not think of anyone who would have possibly been able to keep up as the emperor had.
Selina took the front. Kagerou, as ever, observed from the shadows. She remained kneeling on the ground for a little longer, shades still on and hiding the way her eyes swiftly shifted across the various faces of the room at a speed so fast it was curious that she was still processing all of the details.
Like a sweet poison mixed in with a drink, something laced the red words that came from the newcomer's mouth. Well dressed, presented favorably. He appeared not only in his element, but so much like he belonged here that forcibly moving him could leave a bad taste in the mouth. While present to sow mistrust and conflict, if the Arashikage's side made the first move to use violence, then they would only look like they were proving the venomously sweet words the decorated rebel spoke. After all, judging from how the one man with the tiger seemed to be eyeing Toso's entourage as if in a new light, the effects were already taking route.
However, not all was lost. Only the prosecutor had a chance to speak, and if hopefully the elder Leaf nin's words could be any indicator of some of the sentiments on their side, then Konoha wasn't going to indiscriminately throw Arashi under a bus despite its legitimate suspicions. Kagerou hoped Toso and those present for negotiations would remember this.
Kagerou stood up smoothly. Bells upon her wrist rung out, drawing attention to herself. She did not agree, but she found herself agreeing. A confusing state of mind that she calmly approached, and being fond of the very genjutsu that could cause such an effect, she didn't need much to realize she must be under that enchantment. Her bells rung more when she gently touched the small of Toso's back as she passed around him. Through the glancing graze, a burst of her chakra was inserted inside to disperse the genjutsu he was affected by [Kai: A-rank+S-rank]. She did not, however, step past Selina, remembering her position. She would stand in front of Toso as a friend. However, as a guest present only to observe and not a member of Toso's inner circle of advisors, she would not overstep her bounds.
Using her position behind Selina to indicate that the latter's authority trumped hers, Kagerou spoke up, not because Toso couldn't or because she thought herself representative of the village, but because here was the time to show solidarity.
"Stranger, you've brought up some splendid points. Indeed, these are issues the hokage should take into consideration," she spoke pleasantly, as if inviting a guest over, which was exactly how she chose to frame this situation. Albeit, an uninvited guest. Motioning to a seat, she recommended, "If you do not intend to follow the orders of our APD official, then please, do take a seat, make yourself comfortable, and terminate your genjutsu. I'm sure we would all appreciate hearing your arguments with clear minds. Officer Selina is the voice of law, but at the same time, if you choose to refuse peacefully, then it will be unsightly of Arashi to resort to force." Perhaps if he had appeared sooner, right after the assassination, resorting to force could have worked. However, the moment had been lost. If they attacked him and he simply took it, then it would feel too much like 'Tyrant Toso' (catchy) was silencing his opposition.
That being said, Kagerou wasn't simply going to let Toso or his village take the brunt of the force without any defense. While Toso recovered his wits and voice, Kagerou turned to Konoha's end of the table and spoke as she gave a polite bow, "Lady Hokage, please consider a few words of my own. The Lord Arashikage has made questionable decisions in choosing to take Arashi off the ground and then further adopting an isolationist policy. Radical decisions invite uproar and dissent. However, rest assured, the Arashikage is no tyrant. He may be determined to see his vision realized, but he is well aware of the burdens of his responsibilities and has forced none to "bend the knee," so to speak The number of his advisers present here is an indication of that. As Arashi is no longer a military village, Toso expanded the previous retinue of two or three advisers in order to adapt to the newfound needs of the growing civilian population and mercantile interests of the changing Arashigakure. I do apologize that our village's internal issues have come to make such a messy showing in our alliance meeting, but please, I hope you see the silver lining in this situation. This is a rare opportunity for Konohagakure to peek into a part of Arashigakure's state of affairs." Her bow significant, but not too deep, and she flowed smoothly into it and out of it, straightening up at the end with head held tilted slightly down. Respectful, and slightly deferential.

Support Specialist: The user is capable of conferring a moderate stat boost to any ally that they desire. This stat boost can be what ever the medic wishes, however it can only go on one ally for as long as the medic wishes. Additionally to this, the medic is able to use healing iryojutsu on an ally from a distance as opposed to having to touch them. The range for this is fifty [50] feet. Furthermore, the user gains an additional 25 chakra per body rank. Tenketsu regeneration is applied at twice the amount, while techniques which cause tenketsu rot or burnout on the user have their effects reduced by half. Tenketsu restored by those with this discipline gain chakra equal to the rank of the tenketsu rot / burn out they suffered. So if the target is healed of tenketsu rot / burnout which prohibited the use of A-ranked techniques, then the target will gain 80 chakra in addition to having their tenketsu points restored. Finally this discipline allows the user to apply twice the tenketsu rot and burnout on techniques which utilize them.
Iryo-nin I [July 4th Fireworks Roulette 2017]- Kagerou can retrain [Medical] jutsu into those with a [MEDIC] tag on the end of them. [MEDIC] jutsu exhibit healing properties equal to their rank and are considered to be [Medical] and eiseijutsu.
tabDespite his exotic emergence in coming up from the ground it wasn't the man himself that Lahlil noticed first, but the sensation of dizziness that overtook her for a moment. At first she assumed it to simply be another one of the spells that often plagued her, that it is until the vision from her still active doujutsu began to fail her. Or perhaps fail wasn't the correct term, more like she found herself no longer able to see the beating life forces from those around her even despite her Sakkakugan still being active.
This sensation alone was a bit jarring for her and Lahlil moved to sit in a nearby chair as a disguised effort to steady herself. As a result the Hokage was mostly just listening in the background to this sudden newcomers speech. One which Lahlil must have admitted was very convincing, he words came off smooth as butter even. It's was just a shame that he choose the words that he did. Security of her village? Make enemies? Inviting chaos? Lahlil wrinkled her nose especially at that. Maybe her job had been getting to her but that sure did sound like a veiled threat if she had ever heard one.
As much as she wanted to in that moment attack Toso outright there was so much not adding up. Her vision going blank and now this man's words. This combined with her own natural indecisiveness left Lahlil taking the middle road and instead setup to attack both parties. Her eyes shimmered a silent thank you was offered up that her gen manipulation was still possible. Using her voice as the trigger Lahlil would set a gen on all of Arashi's present folk as well the new comer, assuming he could hear her words that is. "I see. Thank you Kagerou, and I think I agree with you. We should both parties a chance to speak together I think. That is.. if you will accept my invitation Sir..?" Faking a pause to ask after the man's name, Lahlil in reality was preparing herself by leaving her genjutsu in an inactive state on everyone save for those her own group.

Any who are touched by the user are instantly drawn into an imaginary world created and controlled by the user. The user may also forgo the ability to immediately trap the opponent into this genjutsu, and instead have it remain on the target in a hidden state that will only activate upon their command. If this is done the user also has the option to touch multiple opponents and drawn them all into the same illusionary world at the same time. The only limitation of this technique is that the user may not kill them with it. Note: When used to draw multiple in the cost of this technique is applied again for each individual target being pulled in.
_β§ Ichiji-tekina Sekai [ Ephemeral Worlds ] Description: While having the Sakkakugan active during a genjutsu, the user will supply an amount of chakra equal to half the genjutsu's base cost in order to further modify the technique. The modified genjutsu allows the Sakkakugan user to alter the trigger source from a genjutsu to any of the other five existing sources. This new source effect may take the place as something as small as making a fist for touch, or hearing the screeching of wind. {Alters the current Genjutsu source/means of infliction to any the user desires} ____β¦

OOC: BACKTRACKING. A LOT. HOld your horses. Edit: Updated Puppet Information The puppeteer knew what she said and why she said it. She even did well to not make a fuss upon having her information be denounced as hearsay and did well to hide how unprepared the special operations officer was apparently. No one told her it was relevenat news to stash the file on Masato and his family on her person. Lahlil had her back, thankfully, with the wonders of fuuin. Their numbers may have been fewer in contrast to the supply of people representing the Storm but letting the one another fall flat in the face of squiddy judgement wasn't on the Leaf's to-do list. Sadayo watched the release of the lone file very closely as her ponytails once lying langquid in defeat seem to slowly bounce back. As Lahlil described the contents, the cherry on top which Sadayo dreaded even for the juciest of trade offs, become the details revealing Masato himself. The exchange, so far, was going well and none of the incriminating details of a little someone innocent wasn't woven into this political mess. Sadayo wouldn't be shy to enacting justice if she found even the slightest trace of Lahlil betraying her, however. The Hokage could find herself tripping over her own shoes for next the year under Sadayo's hushed rage! Fortunately the puppeteer wasn't taking names for a year long punishment and her demeanor fell flat again like old, stale bread in time for the Arashikage's list of whimsical introductions. Being stiff and ridged is probably what gave her title away before the introductions. Maybe she's grown predictable with her long list of responsibilities? The likes of which roles her unique title carries along sound all the more heavy each time someone else lists them out.
The exchange of information furthers and it unfolds favorably with the promise of all the information her little heart could want on a known powerhouse. Almost made spilling the beans about Masato's daughter worth while. This meeting has undoubtedly answered a few, lingering questions Sadayo couldn't get answered before: The Shadow of the Storm is a rubbery enigma that cannot be read like the book Sadayo apparently was herself; the Emperor's identity, and more importantly the exact wealth of power standing behind the Village Hidden Among the Storms.
Her part was generally done, for the most part and her flowing fonte of information came to a hush. The political pillars of the world carried on. Elsewhere the incoming threats were uncharted on her mental map. The attack which ultimately struck Selina and responded to by just a handful of the bodies present wasn't going to go unanswered by Sadayo. She would leave not too long after under the assumption Kazuto wasn't going anywhere beyond Lahlil's side and consequently avoids the spoken illusion.
Her departure wasn't in a glowing, magnificent fashion but a fairly ordinary one. The puppeteer's leaving dwindles the numbers backing the leaf and presents herself in a vulnerable state. Sadayo did not have puppets present during the conversation to avoid being that person who seemed terribly mistrusting enough to have a weapon ready. Granted, the divide between herself and one of her weapons was a mask but the puppet double wasn't necessary.
In a walking pace, leaving the vicinity of the gazebo, she would advance slowly until the familiar act of swapping of scrolls around was finished. One color-coded scroll by one scroll came freely in her hands from her supplies and opened. Such preparatory motions that were seemingly second nature were repeated until Sadayo had six puppets on her guard. Six buffers were better than one when giant needles were apparently a problem. In time, Sadayo would be coming up on the beaches.
ooc: I believe she's coming upon this red mist. I wanted to post this before work. I will touch onto this if needed. Please let me know! I'll have to update the puppet stuff after work!

Coming to a stop near the man who identified himself as Hermes. Listening to the mans words he let out a small sigh. Ultra-nationalists. He had anticipated splinter elements to form from Toso's admittedly annoying decision. While he did see this sort of thing happening he did not expect them to outright try to assassinate him. Coming to a stop near the man, his silver chakra still dancing around his body. Folding his arms he nodded,"Lets talk Hermes. Make no mistake I don't like Toso's choice. I don't like how he did it. He pulled a card from my book, when I declared Kumogakure's independence from the land of lightning. Except he failed to ensure that the people would support him in the doing. But even that is a complicated and annoying thing. Tell me something. When he informed me, I was given a choice. Allow it, or perform military action to prevent it. How many would die if I chose that latter option? How many innocent subjects would have to die to stop a village from leaving my control? Or I can accept it and open my borders to any and all who wish to leave. I chose the latter. For the first time in my life I chose peace. So tell me, why did you CHOOSE to stay instead of leaving to say, my capital in the land of lightning. Arashi has existed for a scant ten years. Not long enough to set down strong roots. If you had joined my army you could have served with distinction and glory."

SHIONxxxxxMORI While the rest of the party dashed off to take on whomever was throwing around bullets, Shion thought she could stay back at the meeting and play bodyguard. That was until their unexpected visitor appeared on the scene. Right from the get-go, something felt off about this man. "Stay alert, Shion. Watch for tricks. This man is casting genjutsu," Matatabi's voice purred to her host. The cat would get no response from her. Shion couldn't afford to let things slip up again.
Jumping to her feet, Shion would interject as her comrades attempted to ease the situation with words. "No, frick that!" she'd bark at Selina. "Non-aggression between Leaf and Arashi, I understand. But this? Heck no. He tried to kill Toso. He's trying to incite another war. Why are you talking about taking him in nicely? " A ripple of miniature explosions would ripple across Shion's fists as she quickly assumed a combative stance. A quick glance back to Toso, then to the man trying to lull the Hokage into whatever scheme he was cooking up, and Shion would continue. "Give me the word, Toso, and he's as good as dealt with." This man wanted nothing but to oppose a future of peace. He should be used as an example. A violent revolution would not work so long as Toso was under Shion's watch.

Masahiro stretched a hand outward and placed it upon Lahlil's shoulder as he watched the chakra network within the young, new Hokage begin to prepare something. She hadn't responded well to the workings of the man's verbal Genjutsu and "To Whom it May Concern" was not a good delivery method for a woman in her seat of power to utilize at this time, it stood to sour the rocky relationship even now as their own inner turmoil settled upon the talks. A brief expenditure of chakra passed between the two of them as he loosed her from the effects of the intruder's Genjutsu, his crimson eyes locked on the man.
"Patience, Lahlil. The opportunity will arise." The elder man whispered as he adjusted himself and came to stand properly at her side.
The man before them was a nationalist, angry that Arashigakure had broken independent of the Empire. A Village that sought peace without, noble. Konoha of old had seen this play out, people were always disheartened with change, upset at massive policy change, with a leader they didn't choose. He considered how the green-haired woman, Kagerou, spoke and spoke kindly as he formulated his response to the situation. Something in short supply these days.
Then another voice spoke up and garnered Masahiro's piercing eye.
A fourth Jinchuuriki in this meeting, the Hatake narrowed his eyes, realizing all the power the villages had brought to the table, today, and just how chaotic this could all end.
"I do believe," Masahiro interjected "that the intentions of today's assembly was to establish equitable bonds between Three parties. The Land of Lightning, Lord Tosokurui's Arashigakure, and Lady Lahlil's Konohagakure, while your grievances with your lords are... Founded. Civil unrest and all, they are just that. Your grievances. Furthermore an attempt to forcefully change the minds of others to suit your desires, during a summit of National Leaders, including the nation from which Arashigakure separated, vindicates the choice to break away, as our lovely lady here has shared with us." A worried sigh trespassed his lips as he waned on the thought, violence may soon be a recourse.
The surgeon general did not receive the answer she requested. However, seeing Selina's smile and heartfelt praise, she knew that she didn't need the answer. Smiling politely, she nodded,
