Northwestern Gate

From the green moss upon her face to the way the other shinobi stood at her attention it was quite obvious this was a person of importance. She was brief and firm and as he did Blitz grinned slightly before bowing his head in full respect. Samehada itself only gave its abrupt response to the chakra of the user in front of the two Blitz made it quick and to the point. Keeping his head bowed in respect to the women indeed it was late and quite a time for such a shinobi to appear at the door steps of another. Yet he answered her swiftly without hesitation.

“Blitz One Of The Seven Swordsmen, I’m From Kirigakure, Reason: I want to learn more about the world and the people in it.”

Raising his head once more he gazed his blue eyes upon her own eyes he could only smirk once more giving her only the respect she deserved. Looking past her a little he was curious at the sound of the village awaiting him; he was indeed ready to learn about the culture that resided behind the walls. Giving her his full attention once more Blitz almost said something but he doubted he needed to continue to talk. So he kept it brief. Bowing once more before speaking.

“Would you allow me to stay and learn in your village ma’am. Let’s continue our friendship between nations.”

Raika follows after Blitz off the boat and onto the docks, dropping another amount of ryo on the ferry man's palm on her way off the boat and onto the much more stable dock, finally feeling something more akin to terra firma than what she'd had to experience for an entire day
She loses sight of Blitz, especially as they travel into the dark forest, which was far more densely packed with trees than the more sparse forests of Kirigakure's swamp-like glades that they called a forest. Still, she follows Blitz's scent, still chasing after him. Kaida could probably keep up on her own.

When she does finally catch up to Blitz, he's talking to some redhead with a thick, strong-looking kimono, though she had something green on her face. Were the rumors true that Konoha ninja didn't really sleep, but took after the trees surrounding their village and regained their energy through photosynthesis using some kind of smear made of crushed and wet leaves? She decided it would be rude to ask. She comes up to the pair just in time to hear Blitz give an introduction and his reason for coming to Konoha.

Raika herself was wearing her usual tattered clothes, consisting of leggings with more holes than fabric, what might have been a pair of black pants that had been torn asunder right where her thighs started, and a ruined red and black corset that was now quite loose on her chest, exposing quite a lot of cleavage herself, as long as a strip of skin from her chest all the way to her exposed belly button. In contrast, her Nemean Cloak fit smartly on her back, over which rests the bandage-covered sword Hiramekarei, though its shape might tip someone off as to the sword's identity, and a golden bangle on her left wrist. She stands next to Blitz now with her hip pushed out, one hand on her hip, and her expression looking unfocused as her golden eyes looked over the guards and the much shorter woman. She... had no idea who this person was.

"Blitz, did you already cause an international incident?"

Her brow furrows as she looks side-eye at Blitz, though keeping the guards, even the short one, in her peripheral vision. If he had caused an incident, she didn't want to be attacked while giving Blitz The Glare.

Ren would step out of the administration building lost in his own thoughts of what was discussed with the Hokage before looking up to the clear night sky above him, a smirk briefly flirting across his face. There was only one thing he ever wanted to do after completing a mission as he had done, and that was to go and see Airi. That of course was out of the question due to the current time, her mother would likely kill him should he try, not to mention it was impolite to show up on someone's doorstep so late. He needed to find a way to pass the time until morning when it would be more appropriate for him to visit, and there was no better way to do so than to try out his new techniques. With the thought of heading to the grand training facility locked in his mind, Ren would form a quick string of handseals before watching as clouds would begin to cover the sky hiding the light of the stars and the moon from sight as rain began to pour down over the village. Considering the technique, Ren knew it would make no sense to try it within the facility, it was meant to be used outdoors. With it being so late at night, Ren figured there would not be many out to notice the rain, however those that were out would notice a few things that might seem strange about the rain. The first and most noticeable thing was the sudden appearance of the cloud and the downpour that followed that covered as far as the eye could see blocking out the light of the night sky. The second was the fact that there was no sound of thunder or flash of lightning that accompanied the rain, this was no normal rain though only those that could sense chakra would know that his chakra was woven into every drop of rain. The third would only be noticeable to those that could see Ren, the lone man standing in the middle of the downpour and yet not a drop of rain was touching him, his clothes and hair as dry as it was when he was inside the building. As the rain fell it was already mapping out the area, allowing Ren to effectively see the entire village as well as the forest that surrounded it beyond the wall and everyone that was outside in the downpour.

Just as he was about to make his way to the training facility, Ren's attention would be drawn to the gate. Surprised by the fact that he sensed Airi there with some others that he did not recognize, Ren would begin making his way to the gate instead. He didn't know who the individuals were, nor did he really care, this was more of a chance to see Airi before the morning. As he moved down the street, Ren would remain dry from the rain as if it were actively avoiding the male, though as soon as he passed the rain would return to falling in the spot he had just been. His Sweetsilk cloak embordered with the Uchiha Clan symbol on its back would be draped over his shoulders, covering his battle Kisode as well as obscuring the view of the Singing Tempest that rested in its sheath on his belt. Within the cloak would be the few items that Ren deemed worthy of actually needing in combat, not that he was expecting trouble, he simply had taken them with him on his mission and had not returned home to drop them off yet. By the time he had reached the gate, small puddles of water would already be beginning to form for the torrent of rain caused by his technique.

The crimson red eyes of his three tomoe sharingan peering out from beneath his black hair, Ren would stop the rain that was falling on Airi as he drew closer. Though she was likely already soaked from the rain before he arrived, now that he could see her, he could keep an more rain from falling on her. As he drew closer, Ren would stop a few feet behind Airi before he would speak. "Is everything ok here, Airi?" Ren would ask his eyes not leaving the pair that stood in front of her as his left hand came to rest upon the hilt of Singing Tempest, ready to react to even the slightest flinch from the pair should they try something against her. The presence of another approaching from the forest not going unnoticed to him thanks to his rain fall, he was unsure what they were doing in the village or if this third presence he felt was with the two that stood before him and Airi, though his eyes would take in every inch of the pair noting the swords they each wore on their backs as well as the Kirigakure Hitai-ate that the male was wearing around his neck.

From clear night skies to being consumed by clouds who made their presence known Blitz felt a shift in the air yet nothing meant this was natural. With the rain they always received back home these were no normal clouds who rained upon the land. Feeling each droplet upon his skin it was clear to feel the chakra within each molecule yet Blitz could only chuckle loudly from the words of the kunoichi who had thought he went off to commit some great act. Or the fact that it seemed someone thought it would be scary to watch over them.

It mattered not to him as his attention was solely on the village and the women in front of him yet he only allowed them to advise caution. Almost wanting to knock some sense into his own travel companion for making such a joke. Yet he did not care, only looking inwards till a shadow made its way behind the women Blitz sighed. Watching and waiting for anyone else to come by, maybe the women they left behind upon the boat but it was amusing to see another member of the village come out to greet the party.

The rain continued to drop but it was clear the scout came himself there was no need to pay mind. Not moving Blitz enjoyed the pleasure of the downpour that was occurring watching puddles form in the ground. Allowing him to think back about the village he left behind even though the trip wasn’t long he could grin to himself for actually leaving behind for an adventure.

Closing his eyes and remaining in place keeping to himself with a grin upon his face and the vibrant growls from Samehada as the taste of chakra rained down upon its bandages soaking into its system. It seemed to enjoy the flavor of chakra given off by this shinobi yet the chakra from the women seemed to be the one the blade gave more notice too. Patting the beast of a weapon once more Blitz sighed as gazed up into the clouds above awaiting for his last travel companion.

“….”

Kaida was happy to finally get off the boat, she was not raised on the sea so it was a bit rough on her stomach. This was the land of fire, so many legendary clans existed here, she also wondered what sort of jutsu she could learn. She had many she could teach if they were willing to do jutsu trading. To her Jutsu was power the more she knew the more effective EFG was. She followed her comrades as she had no issue doing so arriving to see what appeared two guests. She watched the body language of the Konoha shinobi it was one of caution. As she stared at the two she saw the man had very interesting-looking eyes, she was not completely sure but those appeared to be Uchiha eyes.

She would join her two companions and bow her head waiting to see how they would react to a third member. She also had the most interesting chakra signature and had a ton of chakra. She figured the other two might be a bit... lacking in how to act diplomatically so she would be the mouthpiece for the group.

"Hello Konoha we are Shinobi from Kiri my name is Yuki Kaida, and we also have Blitz and Raika."

She would point to the two as she said the names to make it clear who each was, this was when she noticed Blitz had brought his sword, a sigh escaping her lips. That was foolish, this may be an allied village but who knew how they would react to one of the legendary swords being here?

"We are simply here to strengthen our village's bonds We are not here to cause any issues and I am here to make sure the others behave."

She was unsure if they would take her seriously or not but she was by far the strongest of the three. She had the power to stop either of them if she so pleased but she was sure they would both behave themselves.

He addressed himself as 'Blitz', one of the Seven Swordsmen, from Kirigakure. Airi tilted her head and placed her hand upon her hips, shifting her weight to one side. What an interesting reason. A student of life huh? She cleared her throat, hearing Blitz wanting to be let in and let out a sigh. The Konoha and Kirigakure alliance was a thing. Before she was able to answer her question, a new face appeared. This had caught her attention. Her eyes grew cold and her Byakugan activated as she saw Raika turn up. The crystal blue eyes melted away to a pale white set of eyes. She became deathly silent to see another shinobi walk up directly next to Blitz. As more shinobi appeared, her guard started to go up. None of these new chakra signatures appeared too large. Blitz's chakra appeared fairly normal along with the weapon strapped to him appearing to have it's own chakra system. Raika's chakra system appeared standard as well, but something seemed quite strange with her. It wasn't until she spoke that she responded. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga " I assure you, there wouldn't be one. " she said as her shadows, if even for a brief moment, had tentacles emanating off of it. If one would blink, the tentacles in her shadow would vanish. Clouds began to form overhead as rain suddenly broke, feeling raindrops hitting her head. Moving her hand up to her forehead, she felt a gentle 'squishing' under her hand and let out a groan, quickly ripping the mask off of her face to reveal her new and beautiful face. She dropped the mask on the ground before grumbling, all of her clothing now matting down and her hair matting down, now looking like a wet cat. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga " Of course it decides to rain when foreigners appear " Suddenly, the rain stopped just over her, causing her to look around, holding up a palm for a moment before turning her attention back towards Raika. Right as she was about to say something, she noticed a familiar chakra signature. The voice of the familiar chakra signature rang into her ears as she turned to look towards Ren, turning her shoulders a bit and looked to him, looking like a wet cat with the same face a wet cat would have. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga " Let me guess, that was you?  Either way, I'm fine. Just more foreigners from Mist is here. " And another one appeared, looking more dignified than the rest. Blitz looked like your run-of-the-mill shinobi, Raika looked like a beast, while the newest one just glowed like a light-bright. 5 glowing orbs within her, her internals replaced with threads? Something really wasn't right with this one. Two massive swords and one that doesn't appear to be human. She introduced herself and the others. The sound of a dog lapping up at water caught her attention before noticing the sword move on Blitz's back, eliciting a reaction from Airi, causing her to square her shoulders back up towards the foreigners. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga " Is that the last of your entourage? Or anyone else hiding around the corner? " she asked, turning her attention from the drinking dog back to all three as a whole. She didn't get rained on, while watching the others get dumped by Rain. It was good to see Ren here, but now she was expecting him to tell her that he was going on another mission.

Raika sighs as her appearance seems to have an instant negative impact on the redhead; her large chakra pool, tainted slightly by a small amount of bijuu chakra, often earned her odd looks from sensors, but the woman seemed less surprised by that than with herself and then Kaida showing up. Raika notices the rain then as well as its strange falling pattern; it ran over herself and others, but only showering over the guard for just a moment. Then she sees a glow of red eyes and on reflex, turns her head away. While she'd only heard stories of the Uchiha, she was actually simply reacting to the glow, having spent more than enough time with at least two members of the Yurei, whose clan members' eyes also happened to glow red when they would cast genjutsu from their eyes.

"At least this time, the rain isn't our doing."

She looks carefully only at the redhead as she tugs off the beauty mud, and Raika now finally recognizes that it was Airi, the Carmine Hyuuga, a famed and dangerous Shinobi to meet, indeed. She nudges Blitz in the ribs slightly as she hears the little growl of Samehada next to her, but she doesn't try muttering to him that he should shut his sword up. The situation had become more delicate now, since Airi appeared to be very distrustful of them. Raika also feels the rainwater traveling over her skin; it wasn't an unfamiliar feeling, but somehow, knowing that this Uchiha man was causing the rain almost made her seem violated, somehow, but she chose not to brush the rain off her chest, in case that was somehow interpreted as a threat display.

"I assure you, we came with Blitz not only for his protection, but also for the protection of Kirigakure's reputation. Blitz here is a rambunctious child that needs a leash."

Raika glares at him a little from the corner of her eye; she'd heard what happened to Sero's fortress when he'd wanted a "friendly spar" with the leader of the Nightmare Brigade.

"In any case, he does indeed wish to participate in training, and only training. I am here because I've heard that Konoha has some of the most talented crafters in the nations, which even rival Iwagakure's crafter-nin, as well as a very powerful fighting style. I have no intention of causing a disturbance or I would have already drawn my sword."

She didn't bring up Kaida, the strange woman could speak for herself if need be. To be truthful, she even smelled slightly wrong to the Ryuutei woman, though she couldn't put her finger on why, exactly. She crosses her arms, lifting her own bust inadvertently when she does so, and looking over the top of the Uchiha's head so she wouldn't have to look into those unsettling eyes that reminded her so much of Azrael, for some reason.

"Any chance you can stop the rain, then? We've been traveling all night and being forced to stay both cold and wet is hardly a welcome expected of visiting allies."

Her eyes never lose their bored-looking expression, but her crossed arms, partially signifying a defensive stance, is at least also a display of not wanting a fight, since with her arms crossed, she wasn't going to be able to wield her sword, attack with her hands, or use handseals for any jutsu, hopefully showing that she's intentionally not looking for combat.

Ren nod as Airi would ask if the rain was him, "more, eh? Well, aren't we the popular bunch." Ren would reply though his eyes would never leave the visitors in front of them, the three of them all seemed strange to him yet at the same time intriguing. From the woman with the extremely strange chakra that had come up last to the man with a sword he could feel chakra emanate from, even the raggedy woman had a strangeness about her chakra that interested him. His hand would become lax from his sword hilt, as he watched the conversation. He would remain silent as he watched the interaction, leaving the fate of their entrance in Airi's hand, he was merely there in case a extra hand was needed.

When the raggedy woman asked about the rain however Ren would finally speak up, "and if I said no and it continued to rain the entire time you were here, that this rain would help us monitor your movements within our walls to ensure the safety of the village, would that be a problem for you?" His tone was monotonic void of emotion, much colder than his tone when he had replied to Airi. Though in truth really just to see how she would respond to it, as he doubted the Hokage would be happy if he made it rain every day.

Kaida would listen to what Reika said, so far so good nothing stupid that would cause any issues, Blitz was not speaking at all, probably for the best really. As it appeared the man named Ren was responsible for the rain a smile crossed Kaidas lips, she knew how to deal with someone like him. She would watch as the rain dripped down her chest and slid down into her cleavage which was very much open.

"I see so you are simply a pervert, you like to see the water slowly caressing the woman's bodies, as the drops travel and guide down between their peaks into the valley. That is not terrible, but at least ask us to dinner first, as gentlemen it's the least you could do."

She would wait to see his reaction to her words before she moved on taking a light bow to Airi, they needed to get into the village and sitting at the gates was boring, and when Blitz got bored he did very foolish things.

"If you may let us enter the village and get out of the young man's rain it would be greatly appreciated. We will be on our best behavior and mean your village no harm, in fact, I invite you to one day travel to our village so we can give you a fantastic guide."

Her talk of foreigners entering the land did not surprise him one bit it only reminded him of his own journey on he was truly a foreigner to Kirigakure. The rain hitting his face felt like distant memory as he thought of the day he met his savior. Samehada continued to enjoy the snack it was receiving from being outside as Blitz remained silent thinking to himself. The sounds of the village died out with the rain as the sounds of laughter and chatter soon was drowned out by the downpour caused by that of the shinobi behind the women. Soon it was evident the whole team was there from one person to all three shinobi now standing in the night.

Kaida herself made it known once more it was only to strengthen the bond between villages in his case. Blitz would have to come out during the sun to see the village upon its true essence but for now talking in the rain seemed to be the most important. Darkness surrounded them with only the sound of rain to keep them under the presence of the other. Now that all three of them made it to the village nothing needed to be done but wait, allowing Kaida to take the spotlight. Blitz decided he would let the two in his group speak on his behalf, minding his tongue and awaiting for the answer seemed to be best.

Since the two clearly showed signs of concern when it came to him leaving or going anywhere in particular. Thinking back to the spar he had with his sensei he could only chuckle to himself as the battle repeated in his head from large amounts of fire. To a lake full of water rushing down his hallway yet the battle was worth it he forced him to pull out one of his best. Smiling to himself he was happy at the time he did such a thing with such responsibilities now as a growing member of the village. Hearing the two speak on his behalf was entertaining as they seemed to be worried.

Gazing upward as the comments of the rain continued Blitz could not care whether it stopped or went; it wasn't his problem. Watching everyone else seem to be on high alert he could only smile to himself before yawning a little bit. Hearing about the crafting of armor was something new to him yet he did not know where to start yet a person who stood before him did. Clearing his throat Blitz it seemed he was interested in seeing and purposefully buying some armor. Having none it seemed the best for any occasion glancing upon the sky while he spoke he made it quick. Gazing down for a little bit he looked at the young women before gazing off elsewhere watching the night.  

“Where would one get to purchase or craft this armor?”

If he wanted a name in the world he’d earn it gazing down for a moment only to see the face of the woman who now appeared to be young kunoichi herself paying attention he almost forgotten she came out with a mask. She had the attention of Blitz but only for a mere moment before returning his gaze upward watching the gray clouds cover the stars of the night. Removing his headband from his back pocket it appeared to be a relic with many battle wounds yet the original owner trusted something so important to a nameless shinobi as him. Placing the protector upon his head tying it up into a knot as the insignia of the mist shone from the flames of night. He could only remain silent as he gave away his attention once more to the darkness around him.

“…..”

Hanabi would follow up after everyone said their responses, her soft hands being placed on both Airi and Rens shoulders, a sweet yet scary looking smiling creeping across her face, her eyes closed. "Airi, Ren... Shouldn't we let them in. I think you've questioned them enough." Luckily for Hanabi, she didn't look like an ordinary Uchiha so it was easy to fool others. Her eyes would open, her deep amber eyes glancing to the Two and then to the visitors who would prod to come in. "The names Hanabi. And in no way is this dude a pervert. He's actually the opposite." She'd say, her grip on the twos shoulders tightening just a bit. "Anyway, Airi, let the visitors in. They've been antagonize and investigated long enough. It's hot here in Konoha, we should treat them to a drink at the bar." She smiled softly. Her eyes would analyze the foreigners all while speaking to everyone, making sure nobody did anything weird. Raika was a tall woman who had tattered clothing, who rubbed Hanabi the wrong way but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. She was different. Kaida gave her a completely different read in which she would want to stay afar from. Blitz was quiet and therefore she didn't read much into him, not thinking of anything. Hanabi would make her way between the two, revealing her trapped bathing suit like Top and shorts, a crest upon her cleavage and a seal on her chest where her heart laid. "Welcome to Konoha." She'd put her arms out, her palms revealing two diamonds, one in each palm. She was definitely a different person than before.

Airi simply waited for those that wish to speak for themselves to speak for themselves. However, what caught her attention and ire was the comment stated by Kaida. She pointed at Raika and Blitz, her face skewing more and more towards anger. She had, at this point, lost her patience with one named Kaida and Hanabi telling her what to do had actually tilted her towards anger. It wasn't mere antagonizing, it was standard gate procedures. Resisting the urge to blow up in Hanabi's face, she turned her attention towards Raika and Blitz, completely ignoring Blitz's question. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga You two may enter. Your third companion will be held up here for a little while. she mentioned before her gaze returned to the white-haired Kaida. She took a deep breath to regain her composure. Her hands balled into a rather tight fist. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga It would behoove you to watch your mouth when here in Konohagakure. Some people you claim to be perverts are associated with very, very dangerous individuals in this village. Especially one who isn't against killing loud-mouth foreigners. And no, you can stay in the rain for a bit longer. Airi crossed her arms over her chest and gave Kaida an ice-cold glare, focusing most of her attention. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga The way I see it, you really have 2 choices: Go back home or You can apologize to my man for your stupid allegations and I'll let you in.  Now how you go back home will be entirely up to you. Airi's face started to turn a bright red with her shadows flickering from the movement of small clouds soaring overhead. Her shadows being of a twisted figure, one of a menacing posture. Her posture turned to one of a more aggressive nature, one poised for a quick strike depending on Kaida's response. Ren wasn't strong enough to stop her nor was Hanabi if she did decide to lash out towards Kaida. Hanabi, on the other hand, Airi will deal with her later.

==Granting Entry to Raika and Blitz==
==Not granting Entry to Kaida==

Raika seems to take Ren's apparent distrust in stride, changing her bored expression not at all when she shrugs her shoulders at the suggestion that he keeps the rain going to track their movements for the entire time that they're in the village, and although she's clearly responding to him, she still looks slightly above his eyes, and over his head slightly, to avoid looking directly into his eyes. She'd spoken to both Kami and Azrael long enough to know better than to look someone like that directly in the eyes. Despite her feral appearance, she at least seemed smart enough to recognize her role as someone requesting entrance to a foreign village. In any case, he likely revealed a little more about his jutsu than he'd intended, not that she had a reason to make use of such knowledge at the moment.

"To be honest, watching me would be boring, but it's your village, your chakra, and your jutsu, and I'm a guest and in no position to make demands, only requests."

Then she frowns and turns to start to shake her head at Kaida as soon as the other woman starts to make suggestions about the one with those glowing red eyes having ulterior and perverted motive, trying to signal to Kaida to stop and apologize, but apparently having no success in the attempt to stop her before she said something that would possibly have them all denied entry. Clearly exasperated, Raika turns back to the grouping at the gate with her eyebrows still furrowed a little in obvious frustration at the antics of the woman behind both herself and Blitz, moving aside a little away from Kaida when she sees that angered expression on the redhead's face. Blitz, she could probably defend a bit and try to smooth things over, but Kaida was a big girl and could handle the problems she made for herself.

"Once we get into the market district, I'll help you look for an armorcrafter. Okay?"

A fifth Konoha ninja makes an appearance now. First it was two gate guards, then Airi, and this rain man, and now some white-haired woman with clothing about as revealing as Raika's own. She gives the woman a quick glance up and down, and then takes a moment to remind herself that Dante is waiting for her back home, and that she's here on business exclusively. Although for her, the height difference was the most shocking; how could such small ninja have gone to war against Iwagakure twice?!

Raika seems extremely relieved and simply nods when she and Blitz were given permission to enter, and she gives Kaida a little wave as she seems to get held up at the gates for a minute. So this one was named Ren, the one with the rain technique. But she didn't know the name of the one welcoming them to Konoha and trying to smoothly get them into the village instead of holding everyone up.

"A drink sounds good right now. Something to warm me up against the rain it sounds like I'll have to endure the rest of the time. Maybe you know where to find some warm bodies and warming liquids, little silver fox?"

Raika directs these comments to the final person to have arrived at the gate as she crosses the threshold, coming into the village officially.

OOC: EXIT INTO KONOHA

Though he didn't get the reaction he was hoping for from the raggedy woman, Ren couldn't help but laugh at the newcomer's words, it didn't matter to him what some foreigner wanted to think. If she thought that her words would get to him and make him end his technique or something, then she would be disappointed. It did however seem to bother Airi, who waved the first to past but held the third one up because of her remark, of course Hanabi's arrival and comment didn't help in that matter either. As the Rain continued to fall, Ren would move to the side to allow the man and raggedy woman pass, "I am sure Hanabi will be happy to give you the tour of the village." Ren would state as they passed by him before looking to Airi. "There's no need for this Airi. Everyone is intitled to their own opinions, there is no reason for an incident between the villages over me." His words soft and relaxed, neither trying to tell Airi what to do or the other woman, simply trying to defuse the situation before it began as there was no reason for it to get out of hand.

Kaida was quite surprised at how aggressive Airi was being, for an allied nation they were not having any chill at all. This was a good detail to put in reports if they were ever enemies it would be good to note how quickly and easily she was to rile for now however she would behave and apologize.

"I am sorry if I offended you, or him I did not mean to, it was just some friendly banter between allied nations. I had no clue that was your beloved and I am deeply sorry if I caused you any stress or anger."

She would bow her head and show she meant no harm, it did appear she let her comrades through, so she wasn't all that bad. She seemed very cautious about people visiting from outside villages, they must have had bad experiences recently also making a mental note to write in her reports later.

OOC: If Airi lets me end exit to enter Konoha if not she will wait for permission

It seemed finally the progress of movement was beginning as everyone seemed to be riled over a simple technique, sighing as he bowed his head once more. Raising it as he was granted permission to walk in but before doing that Blitz turned around giving a bow to Kaida. In respect for her coming all this way as she and the other appeared to be worried about what his actions would do. Yet this time the heat didn’t end up on him as the rain continued. Blitz turned around and made his way within the village at first lost but gazing around the village was much more enjoyable.

The difference in structures of the buildings were different as the land itself was different from the start since they entered the borders. Leaving behind the group at the gates he did hear from Raika that he would be shown a place to purchase armor. Yet the only thing that was on his mind was training and where and when this training would be happening. Leaving on his own leaving behind the rest of the shinobi he would rather be lost and learn the layouts of his temporary home himself. Glancing around there was only one place that he wanted to spend his time in.

Catching the attention of the civilians of the village they did seem shocked at first not by the shinobi but the weapon is on his back. Bowing his head to them Blitz could only give them a warm expression with his eyes and words. It was difficult to express himself under a mask but it was better than nothing as he continued to silently up the path. Leaving the sight of the others behind him Blitz could only enjoy the rest of the night in the rain.

-Exit Post, Entering Konoha

Hanabi's corner of her mouth curled upward, cracking an irritable smile as Raika called her a silver fox. The 5'7 woman clears her throat, letting go of the two and waving them to follow her, disregarding Kaida. She was a woman Airi would need to deal with at a separate time. "I suppose. Follow me. And don't call me a silver fox..."

Silver Fox... not a bad ring to it. Hanabi thought for a moment, thinking on the name itself and how it could relate to her.

[Escorting Blitz and Raika to the bar, exiting thread]

Ren would wait for the last visitor to pass through the gates before turning his attention back to Airi, even if none of them were in his eyeline the rain would help him keep an eye on them for the time being. "Yes, of course I would and thank you for defending my honor." Ren would answer Airi's question with a smile, "as far as the Rain, its a little trick I picked up on my trip as well as another summoning contract and some gear that I dropped off with the Hokage. I had planned to tell you all about it in the morning considering the hour, but when I sensed you at the gate I had to come see you." There was much to tell Airi about regarding both his trip and the news that he had received from the Hokage, but the gate wasn't the place he had planned to tell Airi about it. "I can escort you home if you want and I can tell you all about it." Ren would add offering his hand to Airi if she wished it.

{Exit Attempt}

Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga Ya'll need to stop telling me how to do my job, after all. But anyway, I'm glad you're back. Hopefully you'll be staying this time. Airi chuckled, only to hear her man talk about the nifty rain jutsu. Oh, it was interesting and she'd need to learn more about it. Airi Ohara, The Carmine Hyuga " Oh, you could just tell me about it now. I have a much fa-- " she said as she took Ren's hand and the two vanished into thin air utilizing her Flying Thunder God technique.

Raika stops at the gates of Konohagakure, signing back out of the village and jotting down her destination, although she didn't really have to - not being an actual member of Konoha, she didn't really need to give them any information on where she was going, as long as she was leaving. But she'd met people whom she might not really classify as friends, but she would certainly call them such if asked. But at least they would know where to find her if they ever wanted to visit.

She turns and looks back at the village that she'd stayed at for about a month. She had learned a great deal there, and had mastered quite a few new things that she would be bringing back to her village, and especially to some new members of her clan that she'd heard were already becoming acquainted with one another. It was time for her to return to her clan compound, which still needed to be rebuilt.

Luckily, she'd discovered a quick ship that was bringing over supplies from Konoha to a shop in Kirigakure, some kind of supply run, and Raika was on hand to offer them protection in exchange for passage. And so she left to the docks to catch her ride on the merchant vessel, all the way back to Kirigakure.

OOC: -12 Hours Travel Time From Konoha To Kiri

Sakachen had information that would lead the arrest of some very important individuals. The footpad had rushed his way to the Leaf village gates with a story in his head and determination in his heart. He needed to warn Konoha of what the situation with Chen was and he needed to do it now. There was one particular individual of international repute that would be receptive to his story. This person was known to possess the qualities and characteristics that were essential for the proper handling of the intel. He would try to speak to them first.

Sakachen arrived at the gates, ragged out of breath and tired. He produced credentials stating that he was a civilian from Suna with information about Chen, Diana, Iwagakure and the fate of the world. He dropped the name of the Leaf village that he wanted to speak to and if allowed he would head directly to their known lair.

[Enter Konoha]

Kaida had heard some foul news being spread all over Konoha, something about her being arrested, if it was for insulting the now Hokages Boyfriend that sure was petty but she listened and it seemed some idiot in Kiri did something pretty dumb. Naturally, due to having no assigned rank in Kiri she was told nothing of these plans and this came straight out of left field to her, she could only sigh in disbelief.

"Who the hell would do something like this with two of your stronger shinobi in Konoha, I swear someone is out to get me killed. Well, I have little choice but to head toward the gate but I better last least change my appearance."

She would scurry into some alleys as she would spot dogs in the area this would be perfect. Using the handseal she would transform into a dog blending in with the others and scurrying into the small alleys and other areas the dogs liked to travel. She just needed to make it to the outside and she could get out of here. It began to rain as she frowned it likely was that stupid idiot that rained on them before. She was unsure what the jutsu did but it was best to avoid being in the rain, if anything it gave him lots of water to use for jutsu.

She had made her way into the cover of a building traveling in between acting as a dog that hated rain. She would continue to travel in the direction of the gates

Puddles of water from his Rain Tiger at Will Technique would already be forming all over the Senju Forest by the time Ren made it to the gates, happy to see the fact that the Gate was Closed tight after the Hokage's latest announcement. He had felt Kaida's chakra for the briefest of seconds when the rain first started, but she was in the shape of a dog with other dogs. He would have investigated if he hadn't known that it would be a waste of time, he knew how he would react if he was in a foreign country and there was a sudden broadcast about his arrest made. He would do everything he could to avoid being seen, staying in one spot, and do whatever it took to make it out of the foreign country as quickly as possible. Turning into an animal was a smart thing, it allowed her to move without being seen as she moved. She was good, but she couldn't avoid all the rain. The gaps between the buildings when she would move between them, the puddles on the ground that she would step in, ever single drop of water was now connected to Ren. Though she may look like a dog, she couldn't hide her chakra and that would be what Ren would feel each time a stray rain drop would land on the dog or its paw stepped in a puddle as there were too many to avoid them all without looking suspicious or not moving towards the gate.

As soon as Kaida would get within eyesight of the gates, Ren's Sharingan would pick up on her chakra as well. "Kaida Yuki, By order of the Hokage Airi Ohara, you and your partner Blitz are to be remanded into custody to answer for the crimes of aggression against Konohagakure by Kirigakure. If you cooperate then I am sure we can resolve this matter peacefully without the need for violence. I do not wish to fight you, come with me quietly and you will not be harmed. Resist and the consequences will be severe." Ren would call out as soon as he spotted the dog with huge chakra, it was true that he did not wish to fight her but at the same time he had orders to follow. He would do all he could to avoid fighting as he did not wish a war on two-fronts with Iwa and Kiri, but he would not hesitate to defend himself or stop her from escaping.

Ayame was on gate duty this day, the rain coming down seemingly out of nowhere. It was a bothersome thing for some, but she was under the safety of the canopy today. Some of her colleagues found the rain annoying though, but Arisu figured it was fine. What's a little water? If anything, it broke up the heat of the day. Still, it was strange for the rain to come out of nowhere like that. She hadn't been paying too much attention, but she could have sworn it was a sunny day not too long ago.

It wouldn't take too long for something interesting to happen though. Ren's voice called out to someone to stop, a Kaida. She began the gate closing procedure, slamming the thing shut to prevent anyone's escape. There were other jounin always on station at the gates of course, the usual protective measures, and they stayed ready to defend in case she tried to push through.

Ayame leapt out of the station though and went to investigate. She saw a dog being called out, but knowing how the transformation technique worked and that Ren was an Uchiha with a Sharingan that could see through things like that, she wasn't really surprised.

Keeping her attention on the dog she was prepared to have to fight, but hoping that Kaida would surrender willingly.

"We don't have to make this a fight, but we aren't going to just let you leave either. Resist and we'll be forced to do what we have to."
