Coren laughed as he spoke,"Well besides the almost becomin a monkey... 'sbeen a piece 'o piss (like piece of cake). He wiggled his tail out from his robes, shoing the furry little thing off. He normally kept it hidden from people, but it was great for shock value. "It's borin bein a Saanin, nothin ta do anymore."
(tails' about seven feet long, thick as your arm and covered in brown fur, case you wondered)

Fordon stared in awe before saying "SO COOL! does that mean you can use it to do things? like hold and pick up things?" then Fordon cocked his head sideways before looking back at the mans face. it was very intriguing. the man also said that he had become the Sannin of the Cloud village. truly this man had skills. the same as the Sannin from this village. their styles were totally different. Fordon wondered who would win in a fight

Coren's tail pulled a cup from his robe, dipping into the brew and lifting hte liquid to his face, he drank from the brew. Coren nodded,"So... have I missed anything around here?"

"Eh. I became a chuunin and Lord Luo became the Mizukage. aside from that nothing has really changed. I think you can get that from LT-sempai still teaching." Fordon finished with a chuckle.

1800 692 7753LT smiled as the charged the boy who was screaming more from humility than from pain. twisted With the sheath held high LT jumped in the air to gain the advantage of hieght. No words needed to be said as he swung down at Kai. Out of the corner of his eye though, LT noticed several figures enter the training facility. One of those was a Ape like man with a tail, the others were ANBU. How he got into the village? LT didnt know, needless to say if the man actually held rank in some other village, it would have been wise to stay there. Mist is not looking for allies at the moment, and if the man was a Sannin like he said he was, it would have been wise to train ones owns shinobis before lookin for an allience with others. LT sighed while thinking this, and half way concentrating on fighting the boy. "Not every one can be as perfect as a Mist Nin, can they LT, no.. every now and then xd we have to stoop to their level." LT chuckled silently to him self.

gregar828 Yamatano looked toward the source of the scream to see Kaizen screaming in pain, holding his rear, which caused him to fall over in insane laughter, which somehow made him dodge the mizukage's knife. As Luo simply moved to the side to dodge the boy's first attack, he decided to make a small, but meaningful point. As he dodged, with a well placed jab of the hilt of the dagger used to defend and the speed that came only with experience, he struck the boy's wrist, causing his attacking dagger to fall out of his hand. Simultaneously, he twisted the dagger around and sliced carefully at the boy's palm. As crimson streaked down his blade Luo muttered to the boy, "Never take your eyes off of your opponent Yamatano, that fact above all else may save you some bloodshed. You are done with me for the moment, I want you to practice incorporating switching defending and attacking daggers between combination attacks. Use the dummies to recognize the strike points which are most effective for you to attack on an opponent's body."
Luo then turned, correcting his posture so that his center of gravity was raised and well-rounded. As he slowly walked towards the man who's elegant entrance commanded respect and attention, he nodded towards Fordon for completing the mission he had given him that morning. He could see in the man's face that it was not of his own accord to be there, and not even pleasurable for him to have to return, but rather a duty as a shinobi of the mist. As Luo finally stopped short of three feet from the man, Luo bowed. His bow was low and deep, not that of a Kage who commanded respect, but as a young man bowed before his father's master. "Tensaijin Hanzo, The Sage of Heavenly Riches. It is an honor to finally meet you." Luo's frame rose once more as he stared into the man's eyes. Before now, the man was nothing but a myth to the young kage. Luo could faintly remember a moment in the academy when he was young where he saw the man walk out into the mist before fading out of view, as if he were nothing more than an apparition. His stories were filled with eloquent battle tactics, and efficiency to boot. To put it plainly, the man was the perfect shinobi in most every way, and in fact deserved his title. If there were ever a man Luo was to die at the hand of, he would rather it be the gentleman who stood before him.
"You'll have to excuse me for seeming all the more excited to see you than you to see me, however you must understand that it took a C-Ranked mission for me to be within your presence once more in the past eleven years. I see no need in wasting your time, so I'll get to why I have gone to great efforts to bring you here. I am leaving for Sunagakure immediately. I did not want to leave the country without someone of higher rank than Jounin, so that's why I have asked for your return. The task seems trivial, that I am aware of, however it is time for change in kiri as you can already tell by the slating of old alliances and the placement of new ones. However, before I leave, I would simply like to hear from you what improvements you would suggest to the structure of Kiri as it stands. You are older, and thus inevitably wiser than I, and with age comes the knowledge of your village. If I am to take this village to new heights, I will need a helping hand. That is why I am asking for your help Hanzo."
As he waited for a response, Luo turned to LT and spoke clearly. "LT, you are to leave a clone here to continue training the academy students. I want you to accompany me to Suna."

As Luo spoke, his clone continued training with Kanzuki. As he watched the blade attempt to slice his gut, the clone simply countered the blade quickly, forcing the boy's hand down, and finally stepping on the blade he forced downwards and flipping over the boy, slicing at his back.

For a moment Fordon diverted his attention to his lord. He watched the bow and was displeased. Lord Luo was the Mizukage, the Pride of the Mist! such actions should never need to happen. who was this man that he was bowing to? was he truly that powerful? he must be for the Mizukage not only showed him respect but Faith in him. He was willing to leave this man and take LT with him? while the Mist was far from defenseless the Mizukage was taking one of their second best ninja , as Fordon saw it along with him. Fordon sighed inwardly and thought "well if Lord Luo-sama trust him and shows him respect then i will have too as well. soon as the lord Mizukage is done speaking i will have to ask what i am to do next." then he looked back to the guest to keep him entertained.

Kanzuki quickly brings his katana behind his back and parrys the blade, he then turns himself so he is faceing the Kage however he quickly realizes they are running out of airtime, so he preformed a flip so that he would land out of the kage's reach and landed on the ground, blade in the ready position.

LordTares 1800 692 7753LT smiled as the charged the boy who was screaming more from humility than from pain. twisted With the sheath held high LT jumped in the air to gain the advantage of hieght.

Kai noticed a shadow moving across the ground as LT jumped into the air. He looked to the side and saw his sword laying on the ground just a few feet away. He quickly rolled toward his sword, avoiding LT's attack by inches. Grabbing hold of his weapon, Kai rolled back onto his feet and spun to face LT. LT's immoral attack was going to pain Kai for hours, but for now at least he would be able to ignore the pain.[1/2]

Tensai eyed the Mizukage with calculating eyes, watching every movement and judging them within the moments it took for the shinobi to approach him. He stopped at a respectable distance and his bow was quite sincere. At his first word the sannin dipped his head, allowing his mane of black hair to fall over his face in a dark curtain. As much respect Tensai commanded he was well versed in returning respect, and decided that Luo, being a Kage was more or less Tensai's own rank with the added responsibility of overseeing the village.
"A Kage as yourself leaving the village for a meeting is no trivial matter, as the safety of the Land of Waves is important to it's inhabitants and the daimyo(SP). I shall govern Kirigakure in your absence, but it would be pleasing to know exactly what you will be doing in Kirigakure and the size of your escort,"
The Sannin believed he had a good idea of what Luo was doing but he was hoping the Kage would have a capable escort to protect him. At Luo's inquiry of his thoughts the Sannin averted his teal hues to the misty distance. "A sizeable barrier, one to detect and record movement within and around Kirigakure, should be erected. We should also have some sort of relay system throughout the Land of Waves, filled with couriers and towers that signal each other to swiftly transmit messages in code,"

As Luo listened to the man speak, a member of the Kirigakure ANBU appeared behind him, whispering into his ear before taking the form of mist and exiting the facility. What the man said was in fact quite alarming. So much so, that Luo was forced to sigh lightly to himself.
"Well, I agree with you completely with the erection of a proper gate, as well as an effective system of communication throughout the village. I will draft up a few ideas and suggest you do the same. Perhaps we can meet at an appropriate time and discuss them to hopefully create a system that is both innovative and effective for our village." Glancing to the side for a moment, Luo's thoughts pondered why of all times his village should suffer such a tragedy, as well as a major annoyance in Luo's eyes. He did not wish to say much on the matter because he didn't feel it appropriate to alarm the students, but he felt Tensaijin had the complete right to know.
"Well, my trip to Suna would include a caravan of only Captain Demascus and myself. As the captain of the ANBU in Kirigakure, I would certainly hope he was more than enough protection for one person such as myself." Luo then let out a single chuckle as his muted expression cracked into a smile. "Besides, I don't believe I went through the trouble of training myself so vigorously only to become kage and hide my abilities behind this ritualized garb. The way I look at it, I think I'm quite capable of defending myself if need be, however for the sake of my country it is always best to keep up appearances when entertaining the company of other kages. This is why I felt the need to take LT with me. My reasons for going to Suna include meeting with the Kazekage to finalize the alliance between our two villages, as well as see a close friend. Coincidentally, those two objectives will be met in meeting the same man." Luo didn't know it yet, but he had a feeling in his gut. Zane was lazy. Always had been, always will be. As his best friend since beginning the academy, and in all respects a brother to him, Luo had always been the one to double-check Zane Hajime's work, be it for a mission, or just training in general. This was the one time Luo had believed Zane capable of doing something correct on his own. However, Luo could not well doubt that when he arrived in Suna, Zane would not be sitting in that desk.
"However, based on the information just given to me, my departure will be halted for the time being." Luo's speaking voice dropped to the muttering tone in which he was known to speak with frequently, he did not want anyone else to hear his next few words. "I have just been informed that the Gobi was sighted on the outskirts of water country. It was at first the Sanbi at Kiri lake which worried me, but as he is stationary, he was not as much of a concern. If the Gobi is to near this village, then we are to prepare for an attack by a demon capable of unleashing each element at will. Given this fact, I ask that you as well as I keep an eye out and remain prepared for an attack at any time."

As the clone landed in front of the boy, it simply nodded at him, indicating a second attack. As it moved, the clone ramped it's speed up two fold. This was Luo's normal jogging speed however, for the boy it would seem as if a muted tone of blue and white rushed at him with no definite figure. It was time the boy's instinct was tested. As the clone neared Kanzuki, it quickly turned, sliding completely around the boy and lowering its center of gravity to attack the back of his leg. As the clone saw it, there were exactly four ways this could be avoided, five if the boy was able to use any ninjutsu. If Kanzuki was not able to dodge the attack, the clone was quite capable of pulling his attack so that the cut was not major, but deep enough to recognize a strike.
