The OASIS shadow carefully watched as the events unfolded, her hazel eyes flicking from pwrson to person as they spoke. Usually she would chime in with her own ideaology, but that was not what Sonyo was here for. She casted off the genutsu cast by using Shukaku, who angrily muttered something about shutting the new guy up. She paid him no attention, instead she just ildily watched, golden claws tapping. She couldn’t interfere or her claim to neutrality would be ruined— OASIS wasnt just there for the major villages, but also for those like this man, wronged by the kage who didnt think about his people, who worked with a “mother ( squid ) knows best” kind of mindset.
Lahlil wasn’t without her faults either, the kage was quick to react with emotion without thinking. She was still young in a way Sonyo wasn’t young anymore— bright eyes, optimistic. Sonyo yearned to have that back.
The jinchuriki was glad that Masahiro and Kagerou were there, to act in ways she couldnt. Still... Sonyo’s hand twitched, cold chakra swarming behind the glittering metal, waiting to be put to use. Her eyes followed the ex-hokage as he spoke, hidden emotion swirling deep in them.

(Imma assume you meant 6/7. This MiT takes place 1 year after the end of the Koga war and isn't in the current timeline.) The man would make a verbal tick, as if having just swallowed a bitter pill. "Tch, Let me enlighten you, myself, Hades, Socrates, we all served on the fields of Seizan, I played my part then as I am now. When you took the seat of Daimyo the village and nation was reunified again. PARDON me to think that this distinction and glory of being part of your army then was lost when you took the seat of Daimyo. I cannot blame you for not knowing us then, we were all but insignificant then until you gave us our purpose." Apollo clenched his fist, spiteing his weakness from his past but that was memory gone a memory lost, a face in the crowd among bodies and blood.
What are the years to a youth whose sworn it all since conception? You can damn me for my lack of foresight but again PARDON for not seeing into the future and realizing a farce such as the current village leadership's decision would have occurred. Roots didn't matter. A so-called mere 7-10 years of the existence of a village is still roughly half the life of a native-born into it. The time of the existence of a nation compared to life spent in that existence were two utterly different comparisons to make. Yes, if Apollo were fifty or forty years old such a short amount of time would have been negligible but he and his accomplices devoted everything they had to the once known Kumogakure which still dissolved into Arashigakure. A likely added bitterness that would linger indefinitely.
He'd then point to Shiro. "PARDON, the disrespect. You chose peace, because you forget what it was we fought for it seems, that and your time in the kyuuden and becoming a 'husband' has made you tame. We fought for a unified nation and that 'heretic' tears it apart again. The rebellion you raised against the prior Daimyo was weighed against the old ruler's selfishness and I see here only the vise versa. You assume you were given only two options? When so easily when that choice was given the third presented itself. The very choice we made here today. To kill the so-called ruler and reinstate a new shadow that adheres to the proper ideals of a unified nation of lightening. An ideal thousands died for that day, even if your ideal was to die at the hands of corrupt leadership Shiro Chosokabe. We were all fit to die with you, labeled as national traitors, we not only made enemies of the enemy but enemy of our very nation, all for you, and had the Daimyo not been found slain there were many of us that would have rather been damned with you than allow that to happen and the current kage spits on the nation that the will you had given us built. "
Apollo's arm would then return to his side as the sun reflected in his goggles. "The very concept of this secession was asinine. Levied by promises he could never hope to keep. Once the Kogarashi threat was dealt with there is no excuse as to why the village could not have returned to the ground or remained part of the single nation of lightening. An affront to the people who called it home an affront to the people who gave life and limb to it. You are free to convince me otherwise. As of currently, you know what our solution is." The main course of thought of which would need to occur was to convince the man of one thing. That it didn't matter, as he would likely and or already was no longer part of Arashi. However, doing so within someone who had such convictions was well, like talking to rock. Boiled down how could it not matter, what seemed to be the ideal that several fought and died for was being besmirched and the same ideal did this man and likely his accomplices did devote their life to if not having more of their own reasons.
The man closed his eyes as he processed the information and voices in the area. "You may refer to me as Socrates. Hades do alleviate for now would you?" the man calling himself Socrates would say as if speaking to no one. The red mist which would be the cloud Sadayo would be coming up upon seemed to become less dense. With that sudden lack of denseness would come an additional clearing of the senses. Where the man known as Hades was would be made apparent. He was standing in the center of the assumed area the mist was being produced in. To Sadayo she'd bare witness to a blurred shadow unless having the mist vision technique to which she'd be able to see him in full after the mist lowered its density. It still lingered to the degree that normal vision within the mist would be impaired. With what appeared to be a flick of a quill and the silencing of the Arashikage would have ended. To which immediately Toso would say rather loudly as if bated with urgency. STAND DOWN SHION! ITS ALRIGHT! WE DID NOT COME HERE TO FIGHT!" He paused to recompose himself and take a deep breathe. He'd look at Socrates. "I understand my leadership has been..." Toso paused only due to the fact the man had a pinky finger in his ear and was itching the insides before snarkily responding. "Oh? Now I'm sorry, I'm afraid I've nothing to say to you, so I've settled on simply not listening to a word you say." Toso would bite his lip in visible frustration at the individual's almost childishness if not utter arrogance. He'd sigh in defeat in this sense but at least if any of the leaf shinobi inquired anything of him they could at least hear him out now. Rather than 'unentertain' the guest he'd look to Kagerou. "Thank-you for defending me Ka-nee bloop." giving her a soft smile akin to her own. She was blunt and having his faults reiterated stung but he couldn't deny their truth. Toso would then look to the table. "I will not hide the fact from you that my decision was rash, there is not a day that goes by I do not regret this choice but it is a choice that I believe needed to be done for the sake of the village."
The man which had almost caused chaos was writing in a book as Toso spoke. This catching the kages attention momentarily."Oh don't mind me, just adding another line to my long list of how you say, he'd tap the feather against his chin. 'bullshit' the Arashikage says to my rather long list, pay no mind." he'd then clap the book closed and FINALLY address the APD officers arrest. He'd put his hands up mockingly. "Oh no, I guess I'm under arrest." He'd place his hand on his cheeks as if feigning surprise before his face shifted to smugness oncemore."Oh wait, you said as a CITIZEN OF AEASHIGAKURE? Oh noooooo. Sorry love, but I'm afraid I don't qualify. You recall how your kind and generous kage offered to let every inhabitant leave don't you? Well I just happen to be one of those LUCKY people. I guess that means your authority is garbage just like your kage." He'd shrug providing a snide smirk. It was clear now, he wasn't using any jutsu he was just trying to incite rises at the table.
His demeaning would continue. "Small tits there has a point doesn't she, why bother delegating? I did after all try and kill her immaculate leader, maybe even ******** buddy? Rather quick to fire weren't we short stuff? Wouldn't any steps NOT to kill me be treason? OH! but you could arrest me? Ah, wait we tried that already didn't we? Oh and how it immaculately failed because the officer is too high on adrenaline from her VALIANT sacrifice for calamari and assumes me still a part of the village." If there was any attempt at arrest he would most indefinitely resist. Not violently, but evasively and then likley use that to prove a point in a later continuation of his smatterings but if the group of people could somehow penetrate this cockshill attitude and remain calm there may be an actual chance to negotiate.

tab Gods above is this what it's like whenever I use that against someone else? The Kage wrinkled her nose before throwing a look of appreciation back at Masahiro. Seems fate would smile kindly on her for bringing along the previous Kage, his insight was already proving a valuable tool. Even still however, patience was the last thing thing she wanted on her mind at that moment. Whoever this man was had placed her own blood in danger. Perhaps not directly sure, but these talks were founded on the basis that there would be no war between the villages whereas this Socrates's poison would have seen her people rush headlong into another war.
Her cheeks were flush with anger but her mind had at least not deteriorated so far that the kage would just attack blindly. No, this was something that would require a careful hand. They could have a sensor someplace providing the jamming and they would be able to tell any moves she made behind hand which simply wouldn't do. For now Lahlil moved to place herself in between the Arashi brigade and this Socrates stranger, notably not so much so that she couldn't dodge out of the way when the fireballs started flying. A field of chakra erupted from her stationary stance to blanket the area and provided her own jamming effect to those inside of it that weren't from her own entourage. (Tier Two Jamming)
Once the field was up her trap had been set. It wasn't a coincidence that Lahlil had chosen a gazebo after all. It provided the perfect shade to manipulate a shadow, all the while without being seen as long as it remained here in the dark. All she needed to do was pull the man closer, which did present a problem as she couldn't tell if her genjutsu had taken hold of the man or not. Could her sound not pierce his ears? Well she was going to find out. Assuming that her previous had taken control then Lahlil would attempt to awaken it from it's dormant state and replace the current world with a exact copy as it happened in real time, if this was a success then the Hokage would of course leave out the fact that her shadow was now extending to grab hold of the man.
However were this not the case and she could not feel her chakra staining to upkeep the genjutsu then Lahlil would instead attempt to ensnare him with her speech under the guise of peace. "Ladies and Gentlemen please, we can resolve this without resorting to petty name calling I'm sure. Now.. Sir Socrates, I'll ask you again. If you will not accept my invitation to sit with us then I suggest that you leave at once before more than just more than just those loyal to your cause get injured." This time her illusion were that of her honeyed words, seeking to pull him in where her shadow was already waiting in the dark.
____✦ Kagura Mind's Eye [ Kagura Shingan ] | Rank B (Applies Tier Two Jamming within it's range) User must remain still for one full post before technique takes effect. Starting at two [2] kilometers at E-rank, range is increased by two [2] kilometers per rank. Information gained from technique is fairly vague and limited to location and chakra capacity unless the user has the Open Minded discipline, in which more detailed information such as elemental affinities or bloodline can be determined. Technique remains active until the user moves. Those of the Open Minded discipline can use this technique even while moving

The scope of commands or requests that the user can make has broadened considerably. For example, team members that have not worked together for long could easily be made to fight each other. It takes quite a high amount of resistance on the part of the victim to overcome the effects of the Jutsu. Requires previous versions to be learned first.

_✧ Kagemane no Jutsu [ Shadow Imitation Technique ] Rank: C Official Description: The Shadow Imitation Technique allows the user to extend their shadow on any surface (even water) and as far as they want as long as there is a sufficient area. Once it comes into contact with a target's shadow, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements. Therefore, the two can throw shuriken at each other at the same time if the user desires (of course, to prevent hurting themselves, the user just has to have the shuriken holster in a place where you don't normally have it, like the back, so that the opponent draws nothing when the user draws a shuriken). If the target is out of range, the user can produce a better light source to increase their shadow's size or rely on preexisting shadows for their shadow to freely travel through. It's also possible to split one's shadow, either to trap more opponents at once, or to create a distraction. The major downside of the Shadow Imitation is that it is tiring to use repeatedly; Hidan notes that the ability is subject to some form of diminishing return and decreases in potency after repeated use (Shikamaru can only maintain it for 5 minutes per use). If the user is low on chakra, the performance rate of the technique also deteriorates. Insufficient lighting will make the technique less effective. A particularly strong opponent can also resist the shadow's forced imitation. Guild Description: Easily broken if used on the same opponent more than two [2] times in a fight, requiring only a C-rank amount of chakra to break free. For the first two times it requires an A-rank to break out from, and only after the first complete post of being ____✦

When more than one genjutsu is on the target their ranks are shifted so that the lower ranked genjutsus get their strength bumped up to highest ranked genjutsu on the target for the rest of it's duration. This is only useable up to the users self ranked korabo level and each genjutsu is still treated as separate when interacting with kai. Any upkeeps are also increased to reflect this change.
____✦ Otherwordly Imagery _✧ Genjutsu performed cannot be mimicked or reversed by any means. ( Genjutsu can still be broken, however. )
"Ah...my...provocation did not all? Shame. Well this was ultimately a failure and my purpose is fulfilled. Our assasination attempt failed, and we failed at rising tensions a loss all around. Another day then." You see the man that Socrates was in fact 'not Socrates' Lahlil's attempts to lull everyone into a world of her own design would succeed in the sense if it was attempting to send everyone else to the imaginary world but it would ultimately be confirmed that the man she was attempting to influence was incapable of becoming subject to them. What reasons those were an unknown but the mans eyes glimmered briefly in a familiar eye. The man vanished.
On Sadayo's end the ominous individual would pull a collar close and she would here the man essentially speak. "Understood" The same occurred on Apollo's end. An order to retreat. Apollo would leave the leader of the nation to his thoughts before leaving behind a word of "Take it into consideration who you work for." Whether or not Shiro allowed the man to leave or not was to be determined but had he pursued the inevitable result would be Apollo's death.
All said and done the crisis was averted and more than likely a future war avoided for the time being as everyone remained level headed. What would become of the group that would seemingly plot the death of the Arashikage in the shadows. That was something for another day and another time. Still if any others wished to continue business proceedings the table was open again or things would end simply on an awkward parting of ways.
((Figured I'd just wrap things up here as things have been stagnant.))
