Welcome to Gaia! ::

"What would you like to find out? The riot situation? The government stability? I wouldn't want to go over there and bring the wrong information. Heh, may sound odd asking but I like my work down to the greatest detail," the figure said the the one taht gave the order. " would you like me to stop anywhere else while I am at it? I would have to go through the Rice Field/Sound Country while going there."

"Thanks for the flexibility of my method, though I'll try to keep it quiet so our actions aren't brought to the open."

"What of the hidden Rock? If they find me, I'm a dead man. I can't completely trust my Biju, it's pretty much unstable." He questioned taking in mental notes. "Also, how long do we have?" The figure pulled his hand out of the cloak and let it hang loosle by his side, vairous claw marks shown on it.

He looked to the newest member (Haru), "Nah, I don't believe you are in any danger. If you are not assigned a mission then simply keep your eyes and ears open for news. I have recently opened up an old tie with a high ranking ninja from another village. He will relay information from the higher ups. I want you all to get what you can from any connections while these two (Fang and Marie) carry out their specific information missions."

He breathed heavily and then said, "We are dismissed. Keep yourselves discreet and may Kami watch over you."

Hah..like Kami watched over the condemned. That was the old mans thoughts.

The man leaning on the table watched as the other left, before standing and taking a bow, darkness still clinging to him. Slowly he turned without a word and walked to the stair way leading up to the little hut above them.

"I'm heading to Leaf then. Good day." And soon the figure slipped away like that other before, silently cursing the timing of this mission and his luck.

((*strangles short post*))

The old man and his apprentice watched all of them leave before looking to the last remaining member.

"Your information has been very valueable. Keep up the work, don't let anyone know that you are invovled with us. It is in you alone that I believe we can keep from all harm while gaining the most information. You are in a prime position. Take advantage of it."

The figure nodded and stood up, "You need not worry. I have everything under control. I have a great power in my hands, I will not fail you." The figure then left, leaving the master and apprentice alone.

"Master...what do you see?" The apprentice asked as he studied the map in front of him. There were too many loose ends and unknowns. It was...difficult to paint a picture.


"I see a dark cloud..one that we will take advantage of. We will bend this to our advantage as we have done for centuries." The two remained in the silence for some time. Talking of the world..on the outside.

It happened quickly, there was no flash, no sound, nothing. All at once the hut appeared out of nowhere.....Genjutsu obviously. The hut that was once hidden was no present and now it was there for a reason, a meeting had been called.

The door unlocked silently and at the normal place, around the normal table, He sat with his young apprentice waiting for those that have been summoned.

"It is time, Sir." The young man said to himself softly as the chakra from his Genjutsu left.

"Yes, we have interesting news indeed..."

"Send a message out to all of our men. They are to take to the scene of this new scene of carnage to be. Tell them to help our picked allies." The old man said as he moved all of his pieces but a select few to one place on the map.

The young man stood up and nodded, "Yes sire. I will get on it now master."
The boy then took off into a tunnel that was below ground.

The man sat in the dark. All of his main men were out and busy, but he had many good men that could be used in their place. Things were moving very quickly...he couldn't keep up.

"Damn you..Orochimaru...you have interfered in the worlds events. Hmm...I may have to deal with him afterall..."
