by Chapter II: Meeting of the Kages
Kage
Summit. Middle of the WOTN land. Only kages are allowed entrance to this sacred
place. Each month, they travel long distances to meet here and discuss topics
at hand although, over the past few month, negotiations of many things have
taken turns for the worse. The kages are now more secretive and on the
defensive. The doors to the large temple swing open and in walk a line of
people. Q the KazeKage, Deathy the KuroKage, Saba the RaiKage, Dei the HiKage,
Clair the KajiKage, and Bano the YamaKage. Each takes a seat at their respected
chairs around a large round table. They all look at one another cautiously,
silence is soon broken.
“This
has gone on long enough! Q I demand you pull your sand ninja from my village!”
shouts Clair angrily.
“Sorry
Clair, no can do. Got to keep an eye on after the last time you began to plot
against me.” Replies Q in a cheery tone.
Clair
slams her fist down on the table, it rattles and Q just smiles at her. Deathy
and Dei look at each other and throw pieces of paper into the middle of the
table. They weren’t much for talking and always communicated secretly. Bano
picks up the pieces of paper and begins to read. His eyes light up and he
starts to breathe heavily. He looks up at them and crinkles the paper and
tosses them over his shoulder onto the floor.
“How did
you find this out you two?” questions Bano.
Deathy
and Dei look at each other and shrug. Bano arches his eyebrow and sighs, he can
never get them to speak. Saba raises his hand but quickly puts it back down. He
never reports anything at these meetings. He is just obligated to show up. Q
claps his hands and lays them on the table.
“Well
well, where is the Mizukage? Slacking off again?” states Q.
“Well,
the pieces of paper those two psychics over there threw at us stated that Ama,
the Mizukage of mist has taken off and disappeared. The village is without a
kage for the moment.” Replies Bano.
As Q
goes to open his mouth, the large doors slam open again. A large shadowy figure
slowly walks in. All the kages rise to their feet, battle ready. Q puts up a
sand shield, Deathy retreats into her own shadow, Dei forms two ice katanas,
Bano covers his fists in rock, Clair forms a fire bow and arrow, and Saba readies
his fingers to snap lightning. The figure walks forward a bit more and the
lighting from outside reveals the person. The kages drop their guard, all
except for Bano who runs at the figure charging his fist into the persons gut.
The figure gasps for breath and falls to the ground wincing over in pain. The
kages rush over and hold Bano back. Deathy and Dei help the person up.
“You!
What are you doing here? Didn’t you get enough in the war!” shouts Bano
struggling to get free.
“W-w-well
now, s-someone i-isn’t quite ha-ha-happy. I’ve come here to let you know about
the Mizukage’s disappearance. What do you intend to do about it?” replies Des.
Q shakes
his head in a no manner and motions for Deathy and Dei to sit him down in one
of the chairs. They nod in agreement and carry him over to a chair and place
him down. Q creates sand cuffs and straps Des into the chair. HE squats down to
eye level with Des and wipes his face.
“Well
Des, how did you even get in here? Only kages can access this place. Answer carefully
for you are in a room with the strongest ninja in the land.”
“Well
ask the ANBU guards out front if they can even speak.”
Q raises
and eyebrow and punches Des across the face. Des spits out some blood on the
floor and chuckles a bit. Q grabs him by the face and throws him on the floor
breaking the sand cuffs. Deathy and Dei now restrain Q. Saba helps Des up
slowly and sits him back in the chair. Both Bano and Q are being restrained.
Saba looks at Des and wipes the blood off of his mouth.
“Now then
listen up Des. We are going to tell you exactly what we plan to do with Mist
Village. Well they will for I have no clue.” States Saba.
Both
Bano and Q settle down and are released. The kages gather round and begin
whispering to each other. Every so often, one of them will check on Des to see
if he is doing anything. They gather around Des and stare at him. Deathy gets
down to eye level with Des and stares at him awkwardly for a minute or two. She
rises and nods at Q. He smiles and claps his hands together.
“Des! We
have made a decision. It seems as though you are a great fighter and possess
many skills. And Even though you broke into the Sacred Kage meeting place, and
even though Bano doesn’t like you too much, we’ve decided that you should take
over as Mizukage. Deathy has seem the will in your heart and we all agree on
it. Do you accept?” states Q in a blank manner.
Des’
eyes light up and Bano snickers. Des stands up and all the kages flinch into a
battle ready stance. Des extends his hand out and holds it there. Q extends his
and they shake hands. A new Mizukage has been born. Q pats him on the shoulder
and the kages all let out a small “hoo-ray”.
“Thank
you for choosing me to become Mizukage. I won’t let you down.” Replies Des.
Bano
sighs and shakes Des’ hand. They all converse for a short while and re-take
their seats to get back to the matters at hand. Clair looks over at Q angrily.
Q just smiles and shrugs. Des places his hands on the table and opens his
mouth.
“So what
do we plan to do about Ama? He is now a missing-ninja and highly dangerous.”
“Well he
isn’t a big problem at the moment, why don’t we commemorate you for becoming
Mizukage?” questions Bano.
Des
tilts his head and Bano cracks his knuckles. Clair looks at him and sighs.
Deathy and Dei sigh as well. Q and Saba just shrug it off. Bano rises from his
chair and signals Des to follow him. Des reluctantly rises and follows Bano
through a small corridor. The other Kages rise from their chairs slowly and
follow as well. The corridor was dimly lit so Des couldn’t see where he was
going but everyone else knew. Eventually, Bano and Des emerge into a giant
arena. The arena replicates each village. Small mountains, a cascading
waterfall, a small desert, an icy tundra, a fiery pit hole, a dark sphere, and
a constant raging lightning storm. Des’ eyes shine as he takes in this glorious
sight. The other Kages walk past them to the left and into a small booth.
Spectators lounge as Saba calls it. Bano signals Des to follow him into the middle
of the arena where it was a neutral fighting zone. He steps back and readies a
fighting stance.
“We will
fight! To test your skills. I have NO intention of holding back, so as soon as
you hear the next lightning bolt crash, it’s time to fight.” States Bano.
Des
readies his stance and stares down Bano. A silence comes across the arena. A
lightning bolt crashes on the ground and Bano immediately disappears from
sight. Des looks around bewildered and stands still.
“OH Des,
don’t stand there, make it fun for me.”
Des
looks all around but can see nothing. Bano appears behind him and elbows him in
the back of the head. Des falls forward into a push-up position catching
himself and Bano disappears again. Des quickly rises to his feet and makes a
dash for the giant waterfall. His advantage in this fight. Des begins to pick
up speed and the waterfall is getting closer. Des begins to pant and starts to
slow down.
“Bad
move Des. Prepare to get hurt for that.”
Bano
appears in front of him and kicks the ground sending a shockwave of earth at
Des causing him to tumble over. Bano then lifts a few rocks out of the ground
and drops them on Des, whom is bracing himself now. The rocks crash onto Des
and some dust kicks up. Bano chuckles. His chuckle is interrupted as the rocks
fly in every direction and Des rises. He immediately whips Bano with a mist
whip he created while under the rocks. The whip lashes across Bano’s face
leaving a welt mark. Bano backs up and rubs his face. His expression turns to anger as he rushes at Des. The
closer he comes, the more rocks he begins to hurl at Des. Des waves his hand in
front of him and creates a water shield that causes the rocks to crumple. Bano
sighs and crashes right into the shield. Des jumps back and his water shield
dissipates into the air. A light mist surrounds the two now.
“GO
BANO!” shouts Clair from the booth.
Bano
looks over at her and smiles. Des comes crashing at Bano and throws a fist into
his jaw. Bano’s head jerks to the side and he spits out blood. Bano jumps back
and wipes the blood trickling from his mouth. He claps at the attempts Des is
making. Des comes rushing again only this time Bano is ready. HE throws up a
rock shield from the ground. Des’ foot crashes into the rock shield and some
small pebbles fall from it. Bano laughs and punches the shield sending rock
debris at Des. Small chips in the stones slice Des open all over his body. As
blood falls from Des’ body to the floor a small aura surrounds him. Bano’s eyes
slant back and forth at Des. The aura concentrates itself into a giant halberd.
Des rushes at Bano and vaults into the air thrusting the spear at Bano’s torso.
With ease, Bano slaps the halberd away causing it to smash into the ground
breaking on impact. He chuckles a bit and Des looks at him with a smile. The
particles from the halberd begin to slice Bano. Bits and bits pass through him
causing him to bleed and some spots on him remain a light blue. Des jumps back
and Bano begins scraping at his skin.
“What
have you done to me? Tell me now!” shouts Bano.
“It’s
rather simple. When you deflected the halberd causing it to smash, the
particles spread out and they are infused with my chakra so I aimed them for
you. And the ones stuck in your skin? That’s the better part of this jutsu.
They will continue to turn your skin blue until that body part is frozen.”
Explains Des.
The
kages all stand up on their feet and gaze at Des. Bano, still scraping at his
arms looks uneasy. His arms are slowly turning blue. Des snickers and lunges at
him.
“Water
style: Subzero Assassination!”
Des’
hands turn an azure blue and his breath becomes visible. As he goes to jab Bano
in the chest, he is stopped dead in his tracks. In between Bano and Des is Q. Q
has Des by his wrist and is holding him in place with a few sand traps. Clair
appears behind Bano and turns him towards her. She applies a coat of flame to
Bano’s arms. As he screams in pain, the blue particles melt away and his skin
turns back to normal. Clair and Bano walk off the field together and Q is left
standing there with Des.
“Tell me
where you learnt that jutsu? I’m curious. That was impressive.” Question Q.
“I was
taught by the second Mizukage. Class S jutsu. Took me a year to perfect it.”
Replies Des.
“Hmm,
interesting. Although very dangerous. You were about to kill him. We don’t kill
each other. Do it again and you will get hurt. Understand?”
“Yes,
sorry. I got carried away.”
“We all
know you are a war-hero and very skilled but watch it.”
With
that being said, Q releases the restraints and Des’ body temp returns to
normal. Q begins to walk back towards the other kages. Des soon follows him. As
they all return to the booth, Deathy and Dei nod and begin to walk back to the
round table. Saba shrugs and follows them. Bano stares angrily at Des and Clair
walks him back as well. Q and Des are left in the arena alone. Des goes to open
his mouth but keeps it shut. He has done enough for today. He and Q follow the
others. Back in the meeting room, all the other kages are seated except for Q
and Des. Q walks in with Des not far behind and raises his hands.
“Kages,
thank you all for coming, I don’t think we have anymore business so you can all
return to your villages now.” States Q.
The
kages all let out a small victory breath and begin to exit the meeting room. As
Des begins to walk out, he is stopped by Q’s hand across his chest. They look
at each other and Q motions for him to take a seat. Des replies with a nod and
sits down in his chair. Q does the same and lays his hands across the table.
“Des,
now that you’re a kage you have responsibilities. What happened a few minutes
ago, unacceptable. I know your power. They don’t, take it easy and focus more
on rebuilding a war-torn village. We meet here every month. But tell me, how
did you find out about this place? Only a select few ninja know where this
place is.”
“Well Q,
after Ama deserted the village, the Imperials tried to cause some havoc by
keeping information from the people. I ended up fighting them to find out what
happened. After I gained entrance to the Mizukage’s tower I stumbled up to
Ama’s chambers and found his notes from some former meeting, and like the ninja
he is, he had a map to this place.”
Q nods
while Des explains the rest of his story to his journey up here. When he
finishes Q reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small hourglass. He slides
it across the table to Des. Des embraces the catch careful not to break it. He
holds it up into the light and the sand is pouring downward. Des tips it
upsidedown and the sand pours upward. He looks lost.
“Des
this is a nonreversible hourglass. When the sand finally runs out, a full scale
war will occur. You think I don’t know what goes on around the lands? I’m
telling you this because I want you on my side. I’ve given another kage one of
these as well. I can’t tell you who but in due time you will see. Until then, I
bid you goodbye.”
