Welcome to Gaia! ::

Near looked out onto the beach, remembering all the good students he had trained during his days, especially from the Rain Village. He had missed them so much, but his shadow clone back home was taking care of business. He remembered all of the recent drama of ninja leaving and the Jounin Exams and the Rin/Ari combo... He missed seeing them. He laid back, knowing he could not show his face in his village until he had any accomplishment.

Jolt and Glacia jumped up in defense while Near just sat there, "I know that voice... You traitor. Come sit by me.. I was just thinking about you."

Near chuckled.. "The same old Fenrir that felt the need to insult my teaching and ruin my office..." Near looked out into the beach and began to talk, "You know, I had high dreams for you. I just approved Ari and Rin to become Jounin from the exams, which I would have done the same for you..." Near looked at Jolt, who had now come to his side, but continued on with his speech, "Yet, even at a Chuunin, even a Genin for that matter, I could have given you more training that anywhere you can go to. I bet you didn't know that I am... well.. was the Akatsuki Leader, still could be if I wanted! I had a mission planned for us to go on a mission together with the Akatsuki, or atleast with my partner: The new Akatsuki Leader. I have immense power at my disposal.. And you insult me and leave my village.. Why?"

As Luo appeared at the other end of the beach, he could see vaguely Fenrir speaking with...with Near, the Amekage. He knew that the man was no longer the head of the Akatsuki, therefore Luo had no problem with him any longer. Still, he wondered why the man was in his country. Forming a simple water clone, Luo turned and headed towards the docks as he watched Fenrir disappear." His clone, walked up to Near and gave a small bow as a sign of common respect as it spoke to him. "Well, good afternoon Near. What brings you to Kirigakure?"

Exit.
