Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You act as if you have done nothing wrong. Earlier today was not the first time the akatsuki have hurt Kiri. You have already taken over the rest of the shinobi world leaving Kiri to fend for itself..probably waiting for it to die on its own. I know you akatsuki want to take over Kiri." Mizuki wished that the akatsuki would just disappear and things could go back to the way they were...but she knew it was also foolish to wish such things. She frowned with sadness that things had come to such destruction for her village.

"if you seek to offer help, you shouldn't question authority here." Damon's, the wolf's, voice was deep and angry. "Your words can be taken as a threat."

Scerin nodded, His bone swords still in his hands.

Albireo had been standing nearby, listening to the conversation. "Mizuki-san, I think we should accept their help. There are currently no strings attached, so I don't really see a negative. Plus, as much as I hate to admit it, we need the help." As if to illustrate his point another house collapsed behind him.

Sai smiled from beneath his mask, his eyes closed, he finally HAD a reason to smile considering how difficult the Mizukage was being.
"You've nothing to fret, I'm probably the only trust-worthy of the members." he added with another smile, as he steadied himself into series of hand signs. "Mokuton no jutsu!" Wood started to pour out of the ground and toss and throw debris out into the unused outskirts of the village as a large wooden building came from behind Sai. The building had to be at least ten stories high. "There ya go. Cleared alotta rubble and made somewhere for you to use as a hospital for injured villagers. Now can someone toss me a kunai? I have one last thing to do." he said finishing up, hoping the Mizukage could at least think better of him now.

"Thank you, Mizukage-Han." Sai addressed her with as much respect as deserved. He kicked up the scroll he had previously laid beside him and spun out its contents; while it was in the air, he sliced his hand with the kunai she threw to him spattering his blood on the scroll, releasing the sealing jutsu placed on it. Thousands of wooden training dummies sprang out of it and stood motionless, surrounding them. "Mokujin Soujutsu." all the wooden dummies sprang to life and rushed to pick up the wounded and injured villagers and raced them into the building.

"Sai." said Scerin emotionlessly. He gazed at the Mizukage for a few moments, his eyes clouded, and expressionless. He then turned, gesturing for all the wolves to come to him. After a few moments, he gestured again, and they all vanished, save Damon, who, also gazing at the Mizukage, though his gaze was of dissappointment, turned and followed Scerin as he walked away from the scene. The bones vanished from his body as he walked away.

Mizuki was annoyed for a few minutes that Scerin would leave so suddenly, but she realized that this was kind of a betrayal to the resistance. She didn't like accepting help from the akatsuki either but she had to do what was best for the village, or thats what she kept telling herself.

Mizuki hesitated to shake the hand, and when she did it was only for a brief moment before she took her hand back. "I thank you for helping this village like this but I can't exactly forgive all the akatsuki have done not only to us but the shinobi world...But by setting up this hospital, you will be saving many lives..." Mizuki said although she was almost completely sure that Sai was not interested in just saving lives.
