Conqueror's Conquest Pt 1

It was not a particularily good day, nor was it a particularily bad day. In fact to some it was but a day like any other, with fogbanks traveling up the shores of Kirigakure and the surrounding Hozuki Isle. To Yomi however, it was a day in which she could exert something she had not been able to for a while now: her dominance. Here in the village of the mist, even if she was not the mizukage, even if she held no special place in the village's council nor had any position besides her usual jounin status, she was still the most powerful, the most versatile, the greatest and without a doubt the most dangerous of the Kirigakure Shinobi.

Standing atop a wooden stage, a sapping point constructed but a few moments earlier, dressed in her own, selfmade Kirigakure Specialist Combat Armor, adorned with her Quinque Quartz gloves rather than the usual specialist piece, the woman suddenly called out to the platoon of lower ranking jounin and chuunin before her.

With a single motion, they all suddenly stood firm and in line, like a perfectly drilled legion, a well oiled machine. They were the cogs of a machine aimed to conquer and control and she would be the remote to lead the machine to where it needed to be. From atop the scaffold, she looked over the many shinobi and grinned slightly.

"We will be traversing to a dangerous land, a land of demons..." Holding a hand close to her heart, she looked at the men and women below, stern, yet somehow deep within also with compassion and comradery. "We will be facing a place known to hold the greatest of terrors, the most murderous of souls and the most dangerous people..."

She knew just a bit from the Land of Demons thanks to the many reports and literature the village had gathered over the years, describing the place as inhospitable, dangerous and outright deadly when entered without proper caution. However, she did not fear it, no...in fact the relished the idea, the prospect of showing off her power, her strategic capability and her ferocity. It would show all who kept an eye on her for various reasons to know exactly what they'd be facing if they were to ever cross her.

"However..." Yomi suddenly spread her arms, looking upwards into the sky with firstly a scowl upon her face, only to have it turn into an almost maniacal grin, a smile filled with glee and diabolic intensity. "Why do we need to fear this land?"

Looking down with that grin of hers upon the shinobi below the scaffolding, lined up like toy soldiers before her, she continued her speech to rouse the shinobi; her soldiers. "Obviously the books, the chroniclers, the world has forgotten who we are, WHAT we are. They are but the land of demons, but we...we ARE monsters, we are the things that plague the dreams of men, we are Kirigakure Shinobi and together we shall show this Land of demons that it is not us who should be affraid...no, on the contrary," Lowering her hands, raising her chin while grinning with such demonic intensity that it would scare away any and all regular people at sight. "We will show them...what it truly means to be affraid...we will show them terror and despair, we will conquer, massacre, slaughter and when all who oppose us are down for the count...then we will show them the true meaning of FEAR."

The shinobi roared, cheered and yelled with an unseen ferocity, joy and barbarism all in one. Yes, Kirigakure was the home of monsters and who else than the Monster of Kirigakure would be fit to lead this hrde of monsters than the Monster among Monsters herself?"

Of course, Ken had known her plans to take over a nation and he was informed of this as she had asked him to come and he would gladly aid her in her cause. He needed to prove to his kage he deserved one of the great Mist Seven Swords, no matter what he had to make sure they succeeded in this mission. From what he had gathered it would just be the pair of them and some squads they would meet along the way.

He began to make his way toward her making sure he had the proper supplies he needed as he moved to where he was told to meet her. He smiled as he could see her ahead of himself, he had managed to pick up a new skill since the pair had last met. After seeing her talents with medical he had studied hard and become quite proficient with it as well. He was a man with many talents, and he felt he was one of the most versatile shinobi in all of Kiri.

"Well, well I am glad to see your lovely face once more, I had to take care of a man yesterday. I am unsure why he did what he did but he is dead now so how about we go show the world our true power. I bet we could conquer an entire land with just the two of us, I doubt it will only be us but hey let's have some fun."

He would look at the doubters and simply begin to laugh manically what were they pussies, this was sad. Had Kiri become so soft people were scared of battle, this made him angry as he would let out a loud roar before he would breathe deeply and slam his fist as hard as he could into the ground. Those in a large area would feel the entire each crack below his might. He had already learned chakra enhanced strength but this was even further than that as he was filled with rage but these weak-willed people.

"Since you all cower in fear and gasp at the thought of combat you fools can stay here, we need no weak people with us. The two of us will conquer this land and show the world Kiri still has strong people unlike you pathetic fools. I am ashamed to even consider myself part of this village let us hope someday you will finally grow some balls and be willing to risk your lives for your village."

She noticed the arrival of one of Kirigakure's finest shinobi, wondering if Takeo had ordered tetsudashi Ken to be her second in command for this undertaking or not. No matter how she looked at it, Yomi really did like the idea of having someone as impressive as this steely eyed and steely skinned man along for the ride. Alas it seemed that he had an opposite effect as her speech upon the shinobi who were supposed to join them on their little excursion to the land of demons. In a sense she couldn't blame her fellow kiri-nin, as the man was a walking tank, a massive, chiseled and gritty, yummy... he was a rather imposing figure to be sure.

His rather harsh and unforgiving words didn't exactly inspire courage and strength either, as he diminished whatever desire for war they had left with his crude choice of words and rough speech, intimidating the shinobi down below to a mass of sulking and selfconscious imbeciles.

With a quick step, she got herself right next to the man and without even anything akin to a warning, she grabbed down towards his package in a somewhat harsh way, not hard enough to damage anything, but hard enough to make him feel it clearly like a sting from a steel dagger in his loins. "How nice of you to give these twerps a word of warning...next time leave the speeches to me, got that...hmm?" Her whisper was cold, hard and unforgiving, yet her eyes showed a certain glee, amusement and somehow it seemed her actions were contradicted by her expression. "I do hope you know how to make them regain their spirits, a few already left after those words of yours...don't force me to turn you into a bloody eunuch, got that?"

Turning around to the women and men cowering below, Yomi smiled at them and chuckled. "This is what the citizens of the Land of Demons will face, with this man you will be certain of victory...does this man not show the kind of barbaric monsters that we are, that the world fears?" Reaching out her hand to the group of shinobi below Yomi clenched said hand into a fist and grinned. "Show no fear, no mercy, no kindness and we will prevail."

Again a cheer seemed to rise up from the crowd, with Yomi sighing in relief that Ken's attitude had not yet broken the shinobis completely. Looking at him, she smiled and tilted her head a bit. "Prep them, get them to the harbor and load them up onto the boats as you see fit. I want you to be ready within the hour, got that...Ken?"

He saw Yomi move over very quickly as she would grab him by his loins and squeeze rather hard, it stung and her words were scary. Still, she had a smile on her face, he was unsure if it was because she was causing him pain or because she enjoyed what she felt. He listened as she turned it around with his strength shown and how much of a monster he appeared to be they would loud out a loud roar. Some had left but those people likely would have been useless from the start, she began to mention showing no mercy and showing no quarter as a wicked smile crossed Ken's face.

She told him to prep the troops and prepare them to leave, as they would be leaving the village in an hour, he was more than fine with this. She was the ANBU commander, after all, still it was rather strange Ken had not been placed as an ANBU despite doing a mission like this, risking his life once more for the village he loved.

"You heard the woman let us get ready to go, today isn't just a journey today begins to rise of the Kiri empire, one that will make the world shake in fear with just the whisper of its name. We shall rise to the top of the world in power and create a mighty empire rivaled by none, let us rule the world with an iron fist and make Kiri the greatest nation on the planet."

The men would roar once more at his words as they would begin to gather supplies and prepared to head off, he still had supplies he would need to buy for this tip, and if possible talk to Takeo before he would head out. He wanted to see if he would be added to the ANBU before he left, as one of the strongest shinobi in the village plus the fact he was taking out to conquer nations for Kiri it was not much. Maybe he could ask about the sword as well.

Yomi had decided to leave all the preperations for the embarkment to Ken, needing to prepare herself to be ready for any occassiona that might pose a problem in their endeavor. After all, this was a direct order coming from the Mizukage, a direct order from Takeo, who had shown over these past years that his ideals for now seemed to align with hers. To have Kirigakure reign supreme would mean it had to grow strong and to grow strong it had to absorb other nations into itself, bring others into the fold and stabilize itself at each turn to grant itself a bigger resourcepool and larger income revenue.

Reaching her home at the edge of Kirigakure's east side, Yomi got prepared by removing her usual cloathing and by putting on her entirely selfmade armor, the Kirigakure Specialist Combat set which suited her best, along with her newest creation: the Quinque quartz gloves, which shimmered as she put them on, glad that the enchantment she had put onto it was in perfect condition and ready to go. Tying the cords of her cloak together, checking all the stuff in her hip pouches, the gears of her senbon launcher, the sharpnes of her Fuuma shuriken and making sure she had not forgotten a single thing, she got ready to return to the place where she'd meet up with Tetsudashi Ken to start their journey.

It didn't take long for her to reach her destination, hoping to see the remaining shinobi ready and waiting to go aboard the vessels which would carry them to O'uzu, where according to the briefing, there had to be another platoon of even stronger shinobi awaiting them to join up and continue towards their main goal: the land of Demons.

"Well if we're all set, I want you all to go aboard the ships and move out, we're supposed to reach O'uzu within 48 hours," Pointing at three shinobi, Yomi declared them to be the leaders of their respective squads until they'd reach the O'shu shores, making them responsible for the well being of their subordinates on all three ships that were embarking. "You'll be coming with me, Ken. There's...a lot of stuff we need to go over, so it's best we stick together to pool together our thoughts and ideas for now. As second in command, it befalls upon you to perfectly issue out my orders and to prevent our platoon from going out of line, got that?"

With that being said, Yomi jumped onto the vessel which had been designated to be her ship, with the crew prepping for the journey ahead.

Gear:

Ken now had everything he needed he also was ready to go, the troops were fired up and well prepared as Ken made sure they brought the proper survival gear. They would be more than ready to handle this crazy mission, two of them and just two platoons taking on an entire nation. Still, they were two of the strongest shinobi in the world, this would very much a difficult task but one he looked forward to. He made sure he also had all his supplies his rations and many other things, he was not going to get caught without the things he needed the most. He was now wearing his new armor black in color like his steel this was to make sure the enemies thought he had his bloodline on, very few people would not see him and suspect it was the armor of the Dark Knight of Kiri.

Yomi would tell Ken she wanted him on her ship, they had a lot to discuss like the battle plan and strategy they would impose. He knew a lot of war strategies they could use but by the sound of it she wanted to use the most brutal of tactics, he was fine with this and hoped they could come to a good understanding. Once he was on the ship he would smile and watch as they would begin to depart, many waving on the port with Ken raising his fist giving a sign they would come back victorious nothing short of complete control would be acceptable.
