Northwestern Gate

Arisu did some calculations, realizing that she probably wouldn't have enough chakra to fight Seid if she revived him and he decided to fight back. Her conversation with Kitsuki weighed on her mind. If she revived him, she could potentially get his path absorbed into her, or on her side, but she could cause another fight. And he'd already proven reckless enough to do some damage here.

She might have enough if she didn't deposit the swords back in Kirigakure, but she didn't want to carry them all, and going back to Kiri without securing them would potentially make them a problem for others if someone stole them.

"I apologize, but I cannot allow a single person to wield more than one blade at a time. Consolidation of these weaponry leads to a larger likelihood of someone taking them. Raijin may be a difficult fight for you. Hunt him at your own accord, but please request aid when you track him down." She understood a little at why Kitsuki was concerned with her getting all of them Bijuu together in the statue, and then taking her out and having all of her paths and the bijuu's powers. Of course, she wasn't too concerned about herself in that regard, but she didn't know Burritsu's abilities, and Samehada and Nuibara were powerful enough that she wouldn't want them both falling into Raijin's hands, should he fail to be slain.

Picking up the 6 weapons, Arisu turned to Airi. "I won't be searching for Seid, if he's dead, he's dead. These trips are expensive and I wasn't expecting to be receiving these. I must secure them."

Opening up a portal beneath her, Arisu fell into it and vanished back to Kirigakure with 6 of the 7 Swords. The Kiba Blades were reunited with her.

6 of the 7 blades (All but Samehada) repossessed.

Hearing the answer from Arisu. Burittsu chuckled and agreed with a nodding smile having only two blades upon him now. His trusty Samehada and Samui now lost their family; the eight blades would truly be missed. As Arisu left he was at peace and left with the swords Burittsu stoops and faced the person he called Red Hair Airi. Not due to the tone of her hair. But the stories of the clan of incredible chakra and power remind him of an old seven swordsmen who died in Matabi. Yet it didn’t matter she wanted the truth due to Blitz willingness to come to this village the first time. Another burden.

“Airi I came here because I asked Ren to send me. It appeared I disrespected him by taking care of my village. I closed the village before I gave up the seat. Ren will be the last visitor until Arisu herself changes it, that is.. I came here as a friend who always knows your opinion of him is not welcoming. Zenaku came by to the village and offered me a place amongst him. An organization called Akatsuki. We had a nice time on the training grounds and I respected his perspective on these Bijuu. Saying since we house the monsters we should stick together. I’m here to simply learn.”

Burittsu made it clear that he was only there to support the team that he was asked to be on and that he was interested in what he could learn. Playing the role of the fool was all go easy yet telling the truth was easier Burittsu would only smile a little before removing six golden rings from his fingers. Leaving the remaining two rings upon both middle fingers each hand had a blade. Squeezing his left hand Samehada appeared happy as ever to be the only sword once more having all the attention upon itself.

A little chuckle escaped his breath as he realized why Blitz loved this weapon so much, tossing the six rings towards da Samehada the beast of a sword swallowed the items, keeping them within itself just for the time being. Yet within him the beast of a slug felt its elder sister causing it to mix the bowels of Burittsu once more. Forcing the shinobi to burp up a bubble which floated up three meters above the two shinobi before popping. Burping up a couple more bubbles Burittsu wondered why in the hell would the boy want such a thing within him. Sealing Samehada back into the ring, Burittsu patted his stomach before speaking out.

“Congratulations. On becoming one of us. I’ll remain on good behavior and I shall fight for your people if the need arises. In good spirits for what your people have done for the people of Kirigakure. Will you allow me to see Zenaku Uchiha? Red Hair Airi Of Konoha. Best behavior or you may have my head.”

The Kamui portal would open back up, with Kimiko appearing. She'd taken a little more time to arrive than Burritsu had, having taken some time while in the dimensional void of the teleportation to examine the way it interacted with the world. She was a curious girl, wanting to remember the feeling of it. She'd wanted to explore, but didn't want to get lost in the dimension with no way out. She'd tried to hold it open with her Fuuinjutsu from the inside, but wasn't quite able to do more than buy a few moments there before she felt it start to slip.

Kimiko was dressed in the standard Jounin outfit of Konoha's military, her headband and flak jacket on display.

Appearing at the 'gates', her eyes fell to Airi and Burritsu having a conversation. "Lovely, looks like ya gotcha meeting faster than expected." Kimiko said, smirking. Airi had recently retaken the title of Hokage. While Ren's mission to Kiri was (allegedly) at the behest of Tengoku, Kimiko wasn't surprised to see Airi already on it with this conversation. "He's the Mizukage, apparently wanted a conversation with ya, so Ren sent us here."

She shrugged, gesturing at the 'Mizukage', unaware that he'd just vacated that title to someone else. Looking around, Kimiko whistled at the devastation around her. She hadn't known that Konoha's gates were fucked. "Well shit, musta missed something here." She was more speaking to herself than anybody else.

Zenaku could feel two familiar chakra signatures around the north gate of Konohagakure so the uchiha would make his way towards the area. As he got closer to the spot he could see that the village gates was busted to all hell and so zenaku wondered if Konohagakure had a fight at the gates. He could see his new friend burritsu standing there talking to a red headed woman who he had never seen before and from behind him he noticed a all to familiar ninja in the form of Kimiko uchiha.

If she was back in the village that must mean that the elders of the village and the hokage pardoned her for leaving the village after there clan leader at the time akihero uchiha had been killed.

" Hey burritsu it's good to see you here. I hope the trip was not to long. Welcome to Konohagakure. "

Zenaku said as he approached the 3 ninja, as he got closer he turned and looked at the red headed woman.

" Hello my name is zenaku I hope I'm not being rude but who are you. I was in a coma for a while so there are lots of things I'm still catching up on, it would seem one of those things is Kimiko is back in the village."

Zenaku said as he raised his hand and made a friendly wave to Kimiko who last they had seen each other was at the great uchiha meeting and he was still a chunin. He bet she would be surprised to see him and to know he was no a jonin.

The comment of his hair color made him chuckle to himself as now the party seemed to be growing upon the two shinobi. The gates of Konoha seemed to be popular on a daily basis. Such love to the village was only common in such a world Burittsu laughed a little as he started to place Samehada upon his back. In moments Burittsu and Airi were in the vicinity of two Uchiha sharing the same oxygen once more. Burittsu was glad to see Zenaku and as he gave up the name of the women to be known as Kimiko. Meeting three Uchiha in his life. Burittsu seemed to be interested in the ways Blitz led his life being so close to all these people. It was only time since there was no other opportunity he allowed Airi to finish her words with Zenaku. Stepping in Burittsu played his role.

“Zenaku, thank you for your hospitality , my friend. I came all this way for us to grow stronger before our hunt. Let’s go to the training field. We’re not needed here anymore.”

Burittsu bowed his head to Airi and waved a hand at Kimiko Uchiha smiling to himself as he entered the village. He was determined but he knew that the village was in better hands now that he let go of the dream. A dream meant for someone else. Waving over Zenaku, Burittsu remembered the streets of Konoha and made his way to the training facility where he had hoped to find Seid.

-Exit to training facility

"Wasn't asked ta go as the Jounin Commander, was ordered ta go by my clan leader." Kimiko shrugged. "Probably have ta ask Ren why. Somethin' about Raijin attacking places. Pretty sure I was mostly there because Ren doesn't trust me not ta gain support from the clan ta take back my leadership. And I went ta see what it was he wanted to do there. He stuck around after sending us off, still had some business there I guess. I came back so as ta not let the Mizukage-" she looked to Buri and frowned, "-former I guess, wander the village unescorted."

Kimiko looked over at Zenaku and Burritsu with some amount of surprise. "But... no shit? He was the Mizukage a few moments ago, when we were sent back here. Didn't think I stayed in Kamui that long." Her eyes were full of surprise. "And Zenaku's up and about, good. Long time no see."

Things had certainly happened over the last few moments. Kimiko was surprised, taken aback, left aghast. She quickly adjusted to the new information though, and shrugged, deciding to roll with it. "Well, nice ta officially meet ya, Lady Ohara. I look forward ta working with ya." She offered a smile and a bow. "Kimiko Uchiha, at ya service."

She made sure not to look Airi directly in the eyes, a sign of respect given that she had her 3 tomoe Sharingan still active. She didn't want her to worry about any sort of Genjutsu coming from her.

Hokage ha, it would seem that some things had changed since he last was in Konohagakure. But then again he was not to surprised seeing as this was konoha after all and around here you never knew what would happen from one minute to the next.

" It's good to meet you lady hokage, I'm sorry if I sounded rude but when I left konoha to meet up with Ren to see lady Diana and bring her in Tengoku was still the hokage. So you can see where I was surprised to hear of this."

Zenaku said as he placed his hand behind his head and chuckled some. He was also surprised to hear that burritsu was no longer the mizukage which means some one better must have either taken over or he gave the position up. It would seem that zenaku was also not the only one which was hit by the coma plague as airi was also hit by it.

" Just gotta hate those comas. It has taken a lot of good ninja in the past."

Zen would comment to what Airi said about being in a coma as well. Just then Burritsu walked over to zen as he that thanked him for his hospitality and wanted him and burritsu to train before they went on a hunt.

" Yes I agree training would be good before we hunted down raijin for his Crimes but before we do the hokage will have to give you permission to enter konoha first. I might be a Jonin but I don't have that kind of authority."

Zenaku would unfortunately have to say, if it was up to him he would let burritsu in no problem but like he said he was not the hokage so he could not give that kind of permission with out the hokages permission. Kimiko would explain to the hokage that she and Ren went to kiri cause raijin was attacking places, and he did not trust her to try and gain support to take back her role as clan leader. She committed on how he was back up and better now and said long time no see.

" Indeed kimiko it sure has been a long time. Tho how many clan leaders have we had since I went into my coma and lost my position as the uchiha clan leader."

Zenaku said, he made that statement just to show how much stronger he had become but he was also curious as he did not realize that Ren was the uchiha clan leader right now. That just went to show how much had changed since he last was in the village.

Nao would bound through the gate riding on Amarok's back. The pure white dire wolf so excited to be home that he wouldn't even stop at the gate house, knocking over several people as he made is way straight for Nao's house. Nao did his best to call out for others to move out of the way, but the wolf's speed proved faster than most could manage to get out of the way. Nao made a mental note that when he did arrive home to write a letter of apology to the gate guard Amarok had knocked over.

Burittsu woke up in the middle of the night after his many attempts to communicate with the Rokubi. Burittsu had nothing but his own ambition. Since the Bijuu itself was indeed interested in its host it entertained the numerous questions and attempts the shadow made. But also asking its own questions about the two shinobi, Burittsu and Blitz. In which Burittsu replied by telling the truth and his plans so on and so forth giving every possible detail since the Bijuu was now in his care and health if he should suffer death. The Bijuu should know the mentality of the boy and the outcome of him meeting any shinobi that he is interested in fighting. Waking himself up Burittsu had enough of playing the game of patience attempting to ascend like Zenaku indeed took time yet he needed more patience.

Making his way over the building tops that shined with bright lights and moving shadows within, the night life was different from that of Kirigakure. As he approached the gate he said no words passing both guards and making his way down the path back to the ships. Throwing a larger bag then he would usually give money upon the ship to the older sailor since he himself has been the shinobi’s escort throughout his career. His destination was clear. Vanishing from view of the old man, Burittsu was gone.

50 Cp spent Fast Travel to Kirigakure.

Okane would find that using the main gate was preferable for him. Though it was on the complete opposite side of the nation he had arrived by ship from. Still from outside the walls on the road he was given a nice view of the countryside and the beauty it offered with all of it's trees. He had some of these trees at the emporium thanks to an old Senju named Ashitaka but not nearly in this population. He was utilizing an unguarded carriage for this travel but as of yet they had not encountered bandits or rogue ninja. Of which these types of folks were to be avoided even if he had to leave the cart and driver behind. The carriage was comfortable enough though he would have preferred to just teleport. That said unlike Airi delivering her own teleportation seal to him via a messenger he had heard rumors that she was against him teleporting there. He would prefer not to chance it so he had come the long way. However that held certain risks and he felt lucky he had not come across any unsavory individuals. Still the driver he had hired was from the port at the fire nation. A local who knew his way about. 

Still he would watch as they pulled up to the gates. The driver would lock in the horses and wheels before hopping down and opening the door for Okane before moving to register himself and his carriage and horses at the gates. Okane would note the luggage in the back would be brought to whatever hotel he chose to reside in. Still he would emerge from the carriage and stretch out his legs as the moment he stepped out the whispers for those in line would begin. Okane was in a set of white robes with silk shoes on his feet and a turban wrapped around his head. All in white with gold jewelry with assorted emeralds for a necklace, rings on his fingers and a gem at the front of the turban. He had been incognito for the most part on the travel here but he had work to do now. Part of which was negotiations with Konoha for Sunagakure. He was the sultan over the land of wind and would rather prefer some potent allies. Though Gyokusho had been named his Kazekage he was well known even here. So the whispers would likely reach Airi before the report did.

Still Okane would produce his papers from within his robes and the line would split for him in awe. He was a warm man but he also wouldn't pass up the opportunity to skip the line and get this process started. So he would provide his papers at the gate and be told to wait in the gatehouse for a representative to come collect him. He would thank the guard and move inside to the air conditioned room out of the summer heat. Not that it bothered him much since it was cooler than Suna but humid. He would find himself seated at a table with some ice water and settled in. Not allowed into the village just yet but given consideration and comfort for the time being while he waited.

Kimiko waved off Airi, assuring her that she'd keep an eye on things for now.

"Good question. Depends on when ya went into the coma, I guess." she said, detailing the dates of clan leaderships being handed over. From there, she'd simply shadow Blitz during his stay in the village and make sure he got up to no trouble while here.

Sorry for short reply, trying not to hold up Zen anymore.

Zenaku watched as kimiko commented about when he had gone into a coma. After she had left and walked away, zenaku now had no reason to be around the gated area. So turning around zenaku would head off.

A few days later.

Zenaku returned to the gates as he was about to take off for his mission. As he arrived at the gates he noticed that there was a very familiar person there.

" my my my, if it's not okane. It sure has been a while since our last meeting, I assume your here to see the hokage."

Zenaku would say with a smile on his face, the last time that zenaku saw this man was at his birthday party.

Okane would sip some tea as he waited. However it would be less than an hour before a representative of the nation would arrive. His emerald eyes shifted to the uchiha as he entered the gatehouse. A casual greeting he wasn't so used to. However it was only a moment as he searched his memory for the man. An Uchiha that had briefly claimed head of the famous clan. It wasn't all that surprising to see him in his hometown but still a familiar face was nice. If not less formal. 

"Ideally yes. However if they are too busy we already have a standing agreement to build here. I would very much like to get started and settled in somewhere here to do my other crafts. Do you have the authority to allow me in Zenaku?"

Zenaku smiled as he listened to okane, ideally he would probably wish to speak with Lady Hokage but he said that they already had agreements for him to build a tower. Zenaku knew nothing of what he was talking about and he did not care that was between him and Airi. He asked if the uchiha had permission to let him though and this caused Zenaku to start laughing.

" Well I am a Jonin so yeah I have authority to let you in. The hokage will be happy to see you, just follow these escorts or guards if you wish to call them that they can take you to Lady airi. I would take you my self but unfortunately I must be off for my mission."

With a snap of his fingers two ninja suddenly appeared and the uchiha told them to escort okane to the hokage office or anywhere he wished to go. With that he bowed to okane then began to head out of the village. He had to head for the land of rice and hopefully be able to find chen or raijin.

( Exiting)

Travling: Konohagakure >>>Land of Rice. 48 hour travel time.

Okane would smile to himself as Zenaku granted him entry. It seemed his name was enough to get him through the door after all. Even in Konoha. It was almost amusing to be famous. Still he would cover a yawn with one hand before rising to his feet as some other jounin were summoned. Honestly a show of force but if they had idle jounin he wouldn't complain. Still he would wave off the offer to see Airi immediately. He had just finished traveling after all. 

"Nonsense. She is a busy woman. I will find a nice hotel somewhere and settle in until I am summoned. It is appreciated that I am welcomed so quickly though. I bid you fair travels."

Okane would nod his head before his things would be collected by a hired hand and the guards would lead him at his request to a most lavish hotel. Comfort was his goal for the time being. A nice bath and a change of clothes after all the aches and pains of travel. Honestly he was too spoiled by teleportation. 

Exit into Konoha

Tengoku had returned and with a quiet entrance he had the guard send notification of his return to the Hokage. He needed to report after all. For now though he would go home and wait for his summons to see the Hokage and see his sister in the interim.
