Official Report:
Mission Concerning Sunagakure, and Jishaku
Laxus' Perspective:
Kensei, Leader, Sora and myself, Support, arrived to find the gates of Sunagakure midday. The walls seemed to be made of a strong sandstone, and mostly used to keep the sand out. The area we walked through was a crack, more of a crevice, that was at least half a mile long, and roughly 45 feet tall. Once there we were asked to fill out an information waver. Kensei and Sora's wavers are unknown as to what was put down, and I myself answered vaguely and without much more than my name, rank, affiliation, and my equipment. We met a young Kirigakure Shinobi, Yamatano. He wore a mask, and had striking white hair, most likely naturally so. He spoke to Sora and Kensei, and revealed himself to be of the Hatake Clan. I'm not too sure what that means, but he has other abilities, which I'll get into at a later time.

Once within the village, we made our way directly to the Kazekage's Tower. I won't get into the dimensions of the building as it is no longer there. Once inside, Kensei walked to the desk and sputtered out words. Essentially he conveyed the message we wanted to see the Kazekage, but it was in an unorthodox manner. There was... a lot of starting and stopping. I thought that instead of allowing us to be branded with a speech impediment, I'd take it upon myself to speak. In hind sight, that backfired in later instances. I told the woman at the front desk that we were on official business from the Raikage, and we needed an audience with the Kazegkage. While we waited for the Kazekage to invite us up, or maybe the receptionist to simply allow us to go up, Sora conversed with a child of the village, presumably a genin. He stood in the building, and wore a hood over his face to hide his physical features. After the Receptionist told us we could go to the top floor, Kensei told us to come along, and proceeded to call the building a hell hole, but that is nit picking. I spoke to Yamatano Hatake, the Kirigakure shinobi, as I made my way up the stairs after Kensei. I learned that Konohagakure is experiencing prosperity, and Kirigakure is perpetually surrounded by mist. As much was to be expected, but I was unaware as to if it fills the village or just surrounds it. When we reached the top of the stairs, the door was opened and the Kazekage flipped a coin. Kensei guessed wrong, and we had to wait until Yamatano was finished with his meeting before we could meet with the Kazekage.

We were placed in a waiting room with a water cooler. I suggested allowing Yamatano in on our meeting to hear what we had to say regarding the threat Jishaku was. It doesn't matter now, but having Yamatano could have harbored a tie to Kirigakure, giving trust to one of the shinobi, and allowing us to send the message to Kirigakure without us travelling. Kensei denied this, despite it's potential benefits stating " Kumo deals with Kumo's problems. " After this, Kensei asked if I was hiding anything. I told them I wasn't, but they hadn't directly asked what my abilities were. I revealed my abilities to control small bits of metal to an extent. Kensei Revealed he was an Uchiha, and Sora didn't actually reveal anything. Yamatano walked in before Kensei could expand more on his Sharingan aside from what he already had, and then left to the Office. Sora and I followed quickly, leaving Yamatano to the water cooler. Before we left, Yamatano used some sort of technique to funnel the water from the cooler and flow it into his mouth. Naturally I think he uses Suiton after seeing that.

Upon entering, Kensei sat down in the chair, and commented on the Kazekage's size and age. I thought he would take offence to this, so I intervened and told Kensei that most people in his position would not like someone judging them by size and age. I then spoke and stated our reason for being there. After this the Kazekage used a sunaton technique to wrap my mouth. It wasn't painful, but it left bruising. He stared at me with hatred and a hint of bloodlust. It only stands to reason that he had something in him, as further confirmed by Jishaku should his words be capable of belief. I'll discuss that later though. After this point, Kensei told me to leave the room, and in the interest of distancing myself from the Kazekage for my own benefit, and the mission's benefit, I left immediately.
