Naruto Saigen Roleplay

The word had come from through the chain of command to Makoto, Yasu, Rokuro and Ayumi that the jinchuuriki had an appointment to attend today. But it would not be an official meeting at the administration building, no - This man was not known for his formalities. In fact, there were few people in the village that not only knew the identity of the current jinchuuriki, but had the power and pull to get word to them for a personal meeting with them both at the same time. Such reach could only belong to someone of incredible rank and prestige, someone who had proven themselves so valuable to Sunagakure's prosperity that no village secret was beyond his knowledge, and no request was too great to be fulfilled.

Such a request could only come from a Kazekage, current or former. In this case, it was former.

"Who are we going to see, Makoto? It's not like you to be so secretive about things like this..." The young blue haired Kouseki trailed behind his handler, while Jun walked alongside him. No doubt Ayumi, the boy's personal handler, was hiding within his body or something... Takuma wasn't sure he'd ever get over how strange and creepy the Dasu clan was. Makoto, the white haired woman leading the way, didn't give a response to Takuma's question - At least not a direct one. "You'll see when we get there. All you need to know is that they're a friend, and chances are good they can be of great help to the both of you." She wouldn't even reveal if the person was male or female... By the Light, just who was this person?

Before Takuma could get another word out on the subject, all of them would feel it - The very air around them was heavy. It bore down on them like a heavy weight from above, but it wasn't chakra powered or anything, and it wasn't crippling. It was just... palpable. Pure power. "Such power... What is-"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Everyone within a couple hundred meters of the epicenter would feel a thunderous ripple through the ground beneath their feet. Takuma, not being of stable footing on the best of days, had a hard time maintaining his balance as the tremors tore through the earth. "What was that!?" The boy yelled out in surprise, while Makoto took him by the shoulder to help him keep balance. "We're almost there." Makoto kept leading the charge while Takuma looked to Jun, clearly shaken and concerned...

As each blow connected with the air, Sueatsu could feel the grains of sand rising up around him, the vibrating of the air, the warmth of the day that was slowly growing more and more with each passing second. It was strange for him, he had been Kazekage for such a short period of time and yet... here he was. He had heard about Kiyori but he didn't know if he could confront the issue just yet. There was a nagging sensation in the back of his head about it. That being said, he had been asked to once more lend his strength to the village and while he had pledged to forever be a shinobi, he found that taking a break after his moments in a position of power was refreshing. However, now... it was time to display strength. To stand firm and to show the village he knew the task at hand.

With a slow and steady breath, he drew his hand through his hair, the longer locks cascading around him as he looked up at the sun. "Almost time..." He stated softly to himself as he went to take a seat in the middle of the area and wait. The wind, the roiling sounds of sand, and the warmth of the air that kept his body warm reminded him of each moment of his youth... right up until he felt someone growing close to him, within that range he had grown familiar with. Two powerful figures, fresh and unhindered by the evils of the world. Two more, with a stronger power, but less fresh. Opening his eyes, he'd stand up slowly and look forward. Kouseki, a galaxy of colors comingled that were displayed flamboyantly. Hizashi, brilliant sun burned hair combined with tanned skin. He'd wait for them all to approach and give a soft and warm. Before them, they'd see a man with jet-black hair that was loosely tied, wearing a simply ensemble of white shirt and comfortable pants for his casual attire, and a small dangling beetle around his neck. "You must be hosts and handlers. I'm pleased to meet you all. Shirahama, Sueatsu." The formal bow he gave them both showed his respect for their sacrifice for the village. "I'm sure you are curious why you are here, outside the village... It is safer to train here for myself and I wished to meet you in a place that isn't so confined for a moment, allowing the glory of Her Radiance to grace us."

A momentary pause would enter the air before he spoke once more. "I do not wish to interrupt you during these moments, please ask what questions you have and allow me to answer them."

When that boom echoed through the area, even Junpei had found himself having trouble keeping his footing. Yet his guardian was not outside of his body to help him maintain his footing. Instead he heard her chuckles in his mind as he staggered for a few moments to keep to his feet, sighing in annoyance when he finally righted himself and looked around in confusion. He looked to Takuma and saw the other boy's fear as well, and reached out a hand to put on his shoulder in reassurance. In truth, he wasn't any less fearful than Takuma was, but in the presence of the boy he was getting better at hiding his fear. Especially ever since their meeting with the other Jinchurriki in Steam Country. Somehow the small jar with the green butterfly in it that he always kept on his person, along with the bracelet he wore, helped him stay sure of himself at least in appearance even when he didn't feel it.

They came to their destination and Jun's hands remained in his pockets, the breeze seeming to play with his jacket. He enjoyed the feel of it against his bare skin and even the feel of the sand that was kicked up with it. When he'd first adopted his new look at the insistence of Shishire he'd been embarrassed to go anywhere, but he'd grown more sure of himself and even enjoyed the look of himself in a mirror or two, showing off even the tattoo appearance of the seal on his chest. But as they came to the man they were to meet, Jun simply tilted his head in confusion as the man spoke as if they'd have questions. "I guess I have one question." he remarked, having only known Kiyori as his Kazekage for most of his life. "Who the hell are you?"

Shishire even snort-laughed in the back of his mind.

Meanwhile Ayumi, who was currently within Junpei, suddenly manifested partially in that only her arm appeared out of his back and slapped him upside the back of his head.

Junpei flinched forward with a hiss of pain. "Oh what the hell!"
