 "Masako-Sama! You are late for lunch!" The pink haired girl called out to the man leading the younger ninja. Most of the ninja would notice that she was the girl they had come to retrieve, however, it looked as if she was continuing her work in another location. In a way, her voice was as happy and peppy as ever as she motioned several of the random homeless out of the shop itself and outside to the long wooden tables that made the massive room look like a mess hall. "Come on in and eat while you discuss things with the genin that Onii-San sent for me!" She obviously knew of the ninja's mission, and how she was involved, showing that she herself was part of the group.

Ryumon Tensa
"Know that the way of the shinobi should be one of love for his family and people...Know too that the way of the shinobi is terribly harsh..."
Ryumon was taken aback by the healthy happy young lady he saw....
Until now he'd only ever seen 2 women this pretty...one of then was his mother..
He felt his face flush a bit and he shook his head to regain his focus....
"wise man's first rule...." he muttered to him self quietly
.....People will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true or because they are afraid it is....This is Tanto's sister....she could've been lied to....or they could all be telling the truth....assumptions either way will do us no good....he thought to himself.....
"This is starting to get.....familiar...." he muttered again....Her casual attitude with someone who had--supposedly--been chosen to be kazekage....reminded him of his mother.....
His shudder was visible.....

Rekin was wreanched from his dream, He was awake now. However he was still bound. He was too tired to mold Chakra, Too hungry to fight back...and it seemed his tool kit had been removed. He had stayed in his Genkai for so long that its activation may not be possible again for at leas t a week as well. For now he was stuck waiting. He looked to the girl...she was their objective.
"Y-your ok?" Rekin looked around....confused as to what excatly was going on.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sukami Akeru
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Within every lie, there is truth
Within every illusion, there is reality"  "Well, you don't really look like you need to be rescued, now do you?"Akeru put her hands on her hips and sighed when she saw Seki peppy as ever and still at work. Akeru could have easily been killed when she had tried to prevent Seki from being captured, had her attacker wanted to, that cleaver could have easily split her skull in two, or she could have been taken out by the poison. The least Seki could do was to at least be in danger or something, so Akeru would have known at least there was a point to her near-death experiences. "Well, whatever. Let's just see this proof...and a sandwich, I'm starving..."

 Masako Woshi
The calm man let out a smile at the hospitality Seki was showing towards them and happily took a seat at the bar of the shop. After a couple moments seven sandwiches had found their way in front of the stools, along with the documents that Masako had been referring to earlier. "These are the only documents remaining that state me as the Kazekage. They were all signed by the former Elders almost three months ago. I doubt you were informed but these elders were replaced around that time." The man gave a sombre silence as if offering his respects to the ones that were killed by his master's sword, or some sort of blessing over the food he was about to eat, either was acceptable. "Now as for your questions Night... You need to keep in mind who her brother is, she couldn't just come here without him confronting her. And for my reasoning...
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
If I am to be your leader then I need to treat you with the respect a father would his son, you deserve to know what has happened so you can make a decision for yourself. Either which way you decide I will not stop you from going back to Tanto-Sensei, however if we meet on the battlefield, I cannot say I will have mercy. All I ask is that you look for what is best for the villagers, many men fail to remember the reason we ninja exist, and that is to protect the villagers. Tanto is a danger to everyone, including himself, and those who can't defend themselves. And your guess is as good as mine when it comes to blaming them, they followed Tanto-Sensei's orders perfectly, and instead of a reward they were ejected from their home, their clans have been dishonoured for no reason at all, and I cannot stand idly by and allow my master to do that to another man when it is my job as Kazekage to protect my men, and to protect my people." The man seemed to become increasingly overwhelmed by the situation, constantly wiping small tears that were collecting in their ducts as he explained to them the importance of their cause. Even Seki and the three men consoled him and gave him pats on the back for even mentioning such a thing to the younger ninja.

~*Rekin Valar Wolfblade*~ Rekin was silent, No....these people were right. His sister had yet to begin molding Chakra....What if she never did. She would be in constant danger in a town where its leader hid behind overwhelming power and leaving the weak to defend for themselves. At the same time however Rekin did not want to abandon the ideals of loyalty he had held onto for so long. But wasn't Loyalty to the Kazekage in fact loyalty to Suna itself? Rekin braced and stood, Despite being still mostly bound. He walked over and looked at the documents and scanned them quickly. Without fail he recognized the seals of the Elders, None appeared to be forged. But then he was a Genin. They could have been tricked, He could have still been under Akeru's Genjutisu.He looked to this man, His eyes softening from hatred to understanding.
"My sister....is not strong. She may never be. But I want her to live in a Suna where she is free to not be a warrior, Not be a Shinobi and still live a happy and comfortable life." He sighed and took a deep breath right after. Mustering courage unlike any he ever had. He produced his bound wrists to the man, hoping to be freed.
"You have my Vow....Kazekage-Sensai.....I will aid you..." He did this for his sister, But he also did this for the good of Suna, Perhaps this man could change things for the better. Besides....Having failed in his task to save the Kaze-....no....Tanto-Sama's sister. He feared what the consequences would be from such a harsh ruler.
"I am Rekin, Rekin Valar Wolfblade. An Earth Shinobi of the Wolfblade Clan. It is a pleasure to serve under you...."

Ryumon Tensa
"Know that the way of the shinobi should be one of love for his family and people...Know too that the way of the shinobi is terribly harsh..."
Ryumon remained standing....He was still wary of the entire situation....he didn't know who to trust and he didn't intend to make any kind of decision just yet....that didn't mean he was going to be rude either though..
"I think I'll pass......I think Masako-san has given me enough to 'digest' for the time being..." he said absentmindedly spinning one of the flat tear drop shaped kunai his father had made for him between his finger's. To most of them it would look like a simple absent minded habit but to Akeru it would recognized as a sign of him becoming anxious or agitated.
While he was quiet on the subject it was obvious he was uncomfortable with this entire situation....

Ito listened to what everyone said. Everyone already knew his choice but he would make it public once more. " I will fight for you kazekage sama. I will fight for the freedom and protection o the villagers. This I swear." Ito gave a small bow to the rightful kage of the sand

 I will Protect  So she is Tanto-sama's sister. Night said
then what the hell is she doing here making sandwiches for people very cheerfully while her brother is in a serious trouble, she might be just concealing her feelings. but still what is she doing here? he thought to himself.
Night looked at some of the documents that Masato presented, it had all the signatures of all the former head members of the elder's council confirming Masato's legitimacy taking the power from Tanto as the new Kazekage of the hidden sand.
Night just stood up silently after he finished deciding for what side to join. waiting for everyone else to take their decisions. but Night was more interested to hear about Akira's decision since he was one of the two chuunins in the group.
What's Precious to me
Night

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Kazeryu Akira
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
"Even the most gentle wind
Can become a great hurricane"  Akira didn't like Tanto, he never did from the first time he was introduced to the man. However, he completely put his personal feelings towards the man aside to look at the situation objectively. Everything they were being told was telling them that getting rid of Tanto was the right decision. However, everything they were being told was coming from one source without any definitive proof. Even the documentation could have been forged. "Everything you say has a ring of truth and it seems like the right thing to do. However, as ninja we should know better that to take things at face value, especially someone's word. You may have documentation showing you as the true kazekage, but you have no proof that this documentation was not forged, and nobody who hasn't already thrown in with you to ascertain its truthfullness. Any action taken on false facts could lead to danger for the village, therefore I feel I can't choose a side until I have more facts. I hope you can understand..."To Akira there were still too many things that didn't add up. He wanted to join this side and rid the village of Tanto, but he couldn't take the chance of putting somebody even worse, somebody who would manipulate the ninja of Suna to turn on their village, to power. He needed to find some kind of proof that Tanto really had done all of these things or that Masako was lying, and once he did, then he could really choose a side.

Masako Woshi
The man could only hold a smile on his face as he heard the loyalty of the chunin, "you have been trained well, you have great loyalty, I hope I can count on that when I have my position. You may not like it, but I will be overthrowing Tanto." The man stood slowly and placed his hand on Akira's shoulder as if giving him a reassuring promise of the fact, perhaps in a way to hold him off from attacking. "It's time Seki, we are going to go see your brother." The man spoke up to the girl behind the counter, who quickly removed herself to follow beside Masako as he made his way out of the massive room. As the two left the other men and women in the room began cleaning up after themselves and loading everything back into the stall, getting ready for the trek back to the Sand Village.

Kazu Hiroshi 
Kazu listened as everyone else pledged their allegiance to the side they wanted to. He wasn't sure what to believe anymore with this man all of a sudden claiming he was the official Kazekage. However when Akira spoke, Kazu got his bearings straight mid-wise. "I'm with Akira... All this could be fake and even if it was real... my loyalty will lie with the Kazekage..." he said quietly. He was expecting looks of disappointment from others but this man... whoever he was, Kazu didn't like him personally.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Kazeryu Akira
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
"Even the most gentle wind
Can become a great hurricane" Akira seemed to ignore the hand placed on his shoulder. He wasn't looking for Masako's praise, though he wasn't going to be rude and show displeasure either. As Kazu spoke, however, Akira shook his head. "You're not understanding, Kazu. Blind loyalty is not true loyalty. If you truly are loyal to Suna, then look at what you know about Tanto-sama and decide if you believe he is a suitable leader or not. If he is a threat, then he would need to be removed for Suna's best interests, but if not, then he should be protected. But don't follow him simply because he is the Kage. Those who would blindly follow someone because of a title are fools without the will to think for themselves. We don't need ninja like that in our village; mindless sheep are not meant to survive the harshness of the desert."Akira looked towards Kazu with a stern look, the kind that a father would give to his son. He didn't want to influence Kazu's decision, he wanted Kazu to make a decision and not just follow someone because of who they were. He was waiting for an explaination, a reason Kazu thought Tanto was worth defending. Akira and Ryumon had both seen that they didn't have a definitive answer yet, which is why they hadn't chosen a definite side. Only people who fully believed in a cause should fight for it.

I will Protect Night had a faint smile on his his face when he heard about Akira's thoughts about the situation. "as expected" Night believed that Akira wasnt naive to make a decision based on a tiny bit of proof.
as everyone started to keep Night spoke making his decision clear for everyone.
I have a duty to serve my Kazekage, but my loyalty doesnt belong to him or any man, it belongs to the village itself. I will do everything i can to kill anyone who would go near and threaten any villagers even if it's you Masato or Tanto-sama.
even if he might not be able to stand to his words at least he made his point to Masato and everyone else.
What's Precious to me
Night

Several hours after Masato's and Seki's exit from the large room a messenger hawk returned to the well lit room, holding what appeared to be a sealed scroll, bearing the mark of the Kazekage.
Ninja-
Seki and I have removed Tanto from his place as Kazekage, however, I will be in the office for the remainder of this month catching up on the paperwork Tanto neglected. Which brings me to something I have found out in my short time already, the chunin exams are approaching, I have already signed up all the genin that came to the "hideout" so you should prepare while you can inside the hideout. They will be taking place in the Water Country and I hope to see several of you in the finals. Next I would like to ask Akira and Akeru to take some time off and supervise your training. The sandwich cart will be remaining in the hideout until the end of the month so help yourself to the food. (So you guys don't have to leave to get food)
From the desk of the Kazekage,
Masato Woshi
