As the night wore on, the death toll rose. The confusion settled in as people began evacuating to the safe zones of their countries. As the despair of the night continued, the elders of the villages walked along the road carrying torches and a single figure in black robes and hooded face in the center of them. The scene was the same in every country. The eyes of the elders were blank and empty as if they were dead. And then one could finally see the chains around their necks.
In Kirigakure where the elders were gone, a group of Lords who funded their operations were subject to the same.
They all waked to where the Kage was and then the figure in the middle pulled the chains of the men and woman before them. They stopped like well trained dogs.
"The night is cold. There is pain that no one can endure this night. Truly this must be the work of those with the power. Now.... Kages shall rule without council and you will see the true extent of their powers. For without these men and women, they are nothing but puppets without strings."
The figures in the middle all spoke the same.. They pulled the chains once more and killed their hostages by decapitation. "Now.... democracy is dead! Long live my country!" The figure cackled like a mad man before snapping his own neck.
In Konoha, the figure dropped a Kumogakure headband. In Suna, there was a Kirigakure headband. In Kiri, there was a Iwagakure headband. In Kumo, there was a Sunagakure headband. In Iwa, there was a Konohagakure headband.
The pain and suffering each endured.... was from their allies. And then...
They were alone. Just 1 entity. _________________ Kai Inuzuka

Confusion and fear rippled through the young genin as he wandered looking up at the smoke tower that was the remains of the kage tower. Why is this happening? Mucro turned and walked toward a body laying nearby on the ground. A man who had been muttering a few moments before and then killed him self with no remorse.
He knelt by the body his knee landing on a metal plate known to him. Shaking he picked up the plate, which was attached to a head band with an unknown glyph. Why am I so scared? He stares at the body before setting the head band aside and placing his hands on the body attempting to will life back into the empty shell of the unknown man. _________________ Roleplaying Characters: Rutilus Mucro No RPC No 3rd RPC No 4th RPC RPG Stats: Shinobi Rank: Village: Fame: 0 Reputation: Training Points: N/A Inventory: Chakra Controlled Armor(MACH 1), 5X Kunai, 20X Senbon, 10X Shuriken, 1X Tanto
Azurei turned towards the source of light that was slowly nearing his position, not sure of anything at the moment. He saw a man walking his way holding a torch along with 4 other bodies, chains dangling around their necks as they advanced. Azurei couldn't move from his position to do anything, his whole body was stunned and frightened, leaving him only the ability to watch as the foundation of his village and home crumbled before him.
Azurei grasped at the words that the mysterious man spoke as though they were the ropes that he could hold onto to keep what he loved in this world from slipping away. All he found in them were disdain towards the system that allowed his home to prosper, yet he couldn't help but wonder if what he spoke was true. Then Azurei watched as the village elders were decapitated, their severed heads tumble to the ground in a heap as the bodies went limp and collapsed. Azurei had seen death only once before, the memories coming to him once more as he watched the scene before him.
He closed his eyes, unwilling to listen or see anymore as thoughts of Kanada and Suisei rushed to the forefront of his mind. He fought to push back the emotions of his past and to hold fast to the present. He couldn't change what happened in the past but he would be damned if he left some worse fate befall his village. He opened his eyes, a new resolve solid in his pupils as they focused, centered on the goal of protecting what he cherished.
Azurei saw that the man had killed himself and looked at his body, silent and still as it settled in the dust. He walked over to the ninja that had picked up something near the body, looking down to see what he had grabbed. He reached for it slowly as he began to grasp what he was seeing, gently taking it from the ninja's hand and pulling it closer to his face. His rage boiled as the symbol of the Mist Village was processed in his brain, his face going red from anger. He walked over to Ballian and held his hand out, offering his kage the evidence that was left behind. Despite his anger, he wasn't sure what to make of this, the chance of a setup very possible and likely. "You might want to see this." _________________ Roleplaying Characters: Azurei Himashi Rinkotsu Sanachi Karina Zai [NPC] RPG Stats: Shinobi Rank: C-Rank Chuunin~~E-Rank Genin Village: Sunagakure~~Kirigakure Fame: 0~~0 Reputation: Training Points: N/A Inventory: Shuriken, Senbon, Steel Wire, Exploding Tags, Daggers, Fan~~Senbon, Poison Senbon, Tanto, Wakizashi, Smoke Bombs
Something had told Ahira that the look on the Kazekage's face was not something to be taken lightly. The distress, the anger. Though this was the first time she'd seen and been around the Kage of her village aside from the escort mission, Ahira could tell that the kage didn't like for people to see his true intentions...or at least not be able to read them on his face so easily.
Racing to the scene, she saw how former Kage Gaara and Ballian were attempting to release the people buried beneath the sand. Ahira's heart raced and her sigh escaped her lips as she watched, with horror, as the countless numbers of the dead were popping up out of the sand as Ballian's ninja began to uncover them.
Taking a few slow steps forward, she barely even registered how this could have happened. An attack of this magnitude had not occurred before the entire time she had been living inside the safe and fortified walls of Sunagakure. But now...those walls were all but non-existent. Her toes could feel the sand around them and all the while, amidst the chaos, Ahira decided to leave the Kage to his business and help those while she could.
Seeing the dead infant, Ahira rushed forward and grasped the lifeless child into her arms and jumped back just as a random ninja approached the Kage. He held what appeared to be a headband in his hand and was giving it to Ballian. She sighed, looking back at the child in her arms and held the body close to her, cradling it gently.
So much death...so much destruction...
Ahira turned to look to both Ballian and Nero, her golden eyes filled with remorse for not being able to save the child in her arms. "I...I'm going to sick bay with Nero." And without waiting on either to reply, she went toward where the sick bay area was. She would bury the child nearby...after she'd found out if there were parents to tell this tragedy to.

Words could not describe the frustration Kaza felt, no matter how many people he had saved or tried to save, countless more had perished. While others continued to help he began to feel helpless, falling to his knee's and holding his headband infront of him, why was this happening to the village. What had they done to deserve this cruel and unusual punishment?
Kaza stood slowly, tieing his headband around his forehead and wipping the sweat from his brow, now wasn't the time to linger, he needed to be strong for the people of Suna, like they had always been for him. Jumping back into the fray he began his search for the cries of those trapped beneatht he rubble, less voices could be heard now, but Kaza didn't know wheter to take that as a good thing, or a bad thing. Unfourtanetly it didn't matter as calamity struck, a falling peice of rubble almost clipped Kaza's forehead, and as he attempted to dodge he only pushed himself into another falling chunk. As his right arm connected with the rubble a loud snapping sound could be heard, his right arm now fractured, broken and bloody the boy hit the ground, immediatly falling unconcious.
An ANBU happened to be near enough to the scene to snatch Kaza and carry him out, heading towards safety.

The tracking of a loud voice echoed the air and was quite pathetic sounding from the likes of it, he began to look around when his shinobi were injured and his village and over half a dozen houses were caved in from the wall be demolished, removing his hands from the sand and clapping them together when the coast was clear that his hands pushed forward faster than anything and was unable to be seen until his position was both of his palms were facing the large form of wall. "GAH!!!!" His voice echoed through the entire country when the sand that was covering the houses lifted up and few directly towards the open space in the wall.With the powerful energetic blow of power from his pure strength, The kazekage began to haze in anger when he relaxed himself and looked at a headband carefully and scratched his head. "Zaraki, Nero, Gaara, Karen, Ahira...come here." He spoke loudly and dangled a damp headband that resembled the water country's symbol. "I don't know if you get what I am thinking, but this isn't the work of water country... The water isn't damp, its not wet... nothing." He spoke calmly for a straight minute through. "I am going to send Zaraki and Kogi to the water country, since they both have elemental lightning chakra, Karen and Ahira, you both have the choice if you want to follow them, but it can turn out very dangerous; You both can die.." His voice was vibrant with a patience of no other kage when he thought his strategy. "What about the village?" He looked at him carefully and sighed. "Let me worry about that one..."
"Ballian..." With a deep sigh Kogi appeared with disgruntled look on his face. "Give him the headband.." With a deep sigh, Ballian looked at Kogi. "Plans are changed, Kogi, Nero, Karen, stay in the village protect it with your lives." The three shinobi and even Gaara opened his eyes widely to the shock that Ballian and Zaraki were going to walk into Kirigakure alone. Ballian, Nero and I cannot just sit here and protect the villa...." Being cut off by Ballian and Zaraki at the same time to speak. Just do it..." Zaraki and Ballian suddenly disappeared, Zaraki was tying the Kirigakure headband around his neck and started to smile with a grin.

Azurei knew what he need to do in order for his pride and his faith to be able to work together for this task ahead of him. After Ballian had taken the headband, Azurei walked off into the distance, the silence left over from the destruction was omniscient and he couldn't escape it at all. However, he would go and search for a suitable place to center himself and contact the clouds, hoping to find clarity in this situation and to learn the magnitude of it all. Azurei's form was lost in the swirling sands of Suna as the shadow of his body faded away, swallowed whole by the grief.
Karen began to move boulders and debris from the wreckage as she looked for survivors withing the damaged area. The were a few dead citzens sound as she moved through the sand and earth. She silently picked them up and took them off placing them with the rest of dead. She couldn't understand how someone could kill so many people for no reason. It was an outrage and inconceivable to her. She looked over to Ballian to see his reaction to all this when she saw him picking up an item from the debri. "Zaraki, Nero, Gaara, Karen, Ahira...come here." karen did as she was told and ran over to Ballian, as she got near him karen identified the item in his hand as a shinobi headband, and it had Kirigakure insignia on it. Karen only half heard Ballian's words on Kiri not doing this, she was angry at this point. She felt her hands ball up and pain shot through her palms as her nails dug into her skin, releasing small crimson jewels to fall on the sands beneath her.
She looked up when Ballian said her name again. "Plans are changed, Kogi, Nero, Karen, stay in the village protect it with your lives." Karen nodded, controlling herself to have her anger die down. She needed to be level headed in a time like this. She reached out a hand to try to touch Ballian's arm, 'Ballia-' Though suddenly he and Zaraki disapeared. Karen blinked then realized what happened. She looked at Gaara who seemed a bit angry. She bit her lip and then stood straight, she had to follow orders, she started to romove more wreckage though her mind was on Ballian the entire time. Wondering if he was going to be ok, if he would safely return to the village, to her. _________________ ****Midnight Shadow****

Instead of coming right over, Ahira let her golden eyes move to look at the item in his hand. Her eyes narrowed slightly, not believing the symbol of mist emblazoned on the headband. Mist wasn't stupid enough in performing such an all out attack as this. They were known for having skilled, stealthy ninja able to slit a kage's throat in the dead of night and slip just as silently back into the darkness. To believe that Kirigakure was stupid enough to pull a stunt like this would have been ridiculous.
The offer to accompany him was raised, and death did not frighten her. However, he soon decided against this. "Plans are changed, Kogi, Nero, Karen, stay in the village protect it with your lives."
Blinking a few seconds, she tilted her head to the side. What was he planning on doing? After viewing the exchange with Karen as she watched Ballian leave, Ahira sighed, not knowing why the Kage had not given her orders. But since he hadn't given her orders, she wasn't under any obligation to stick around. Looking to Nero, she handed the dead child in her arms, a small smile on her face. "Could you please...bury the child some place...appropriate?"
Ahira wanted to know what the hell was going on. This didn't make sense. If Kiri didn't commit this act against her country, then who was it? Who was the mastermind behind trying to cause uproar between the nations? Turning and disappearing out of the village, she gathered her wits about her and immediately changed her appearance. This was going to be nightmarish if she couldn't get into Kiri and follow after Ballian.
After all, she was under no obligation to stay in the village. He didn't order her to and so she was going to find out the truth behind this atrocity. Forming her figure to look like a Kiri Hunter-nin, she raced toward the border of Kirigakure, tailing Ballian and Zaraki the whole time and attempting to stay as out of sight as she could and as best she could.

The sound and smells of death wafted on the wind as Hiroshi rushed towards the nearest affected area, his teammate Tetsuya hot on his heels. Hiroshi had been asleep when the ruckus had awoken him and the first thing he had done was head to check if his teammate was alright. When he had found Tetsuya, the other genin had explained the situation to the best of his knowledge just in time for the pair to witness the Kazekage's tower explode.
I still can't believe it, Suna has been attacked!
It was the only explanation that made sense to the young genin and he knew that without any particular orders, his first aim should have been to aid in any possible way with the rescue attempts at the scene. As such, Tetsuya and Hiroshi had rushed off towards the nearest smoking area of Suna, hoping that the damage would not be too crippling to Sunagakure and it's citizens.
The pair arrived and Hiroshi barely managed to contain his own dismay at the destruction that had been wrought on his hometown. He tried to steel his expression as he walked up to the officer who seemed to be directing the effort and waited for the man to finish ordering his troops around. When he had finished the officer turned to survey the two youths.
"What are you doing here? It's not exactly safe."
"Neither is a shinobi life, but we can do some good here. Where do you want us to start digging?"
The man seemed to look the two up and down briefly before realising that being picky about who lent a hand to the efforts was not a luxury he could exploit at that moment in time.
"Take your pick, and if you need a hand, ask. We don't want more injuries from young idiots over-extending themselves."
Hiroshi and Tetsuya nodded at the man and immediately rushed towards the nearest pile of rubble, sending rocks flying as they dug for the injured and dead who may still be buried.
