"How do you know that idiot?" Tatsuka asks, looking up at his father he he prepares and order of sweet and sour chicken. This causes Tatsuya to promptly knuckle his son in the head, which in turn causes him to let out a yelp, "Hey! It's not my fault if you have such weird old men as friends dad!"

"Be careful what you say son," Tatsuya says, turning and getting a plate ready for the mean he was preparing, "That guy's name is Kokiro, and he's saved my life quite a few times over the years, so show your respect. Which reminds me, remember Isamu? The chuunin that comes around every now and then? Kokiro was his team leader when he was about your age now...thankfully I showed him how to cook though. Everything Kokiro makes tastes like mud..."

Shaking his head and smiling, Tatsuya takes the sweet and sour chicken from his son, who's still laughing, and makes his way back out into the dining room. Purposefully ignoring Kokiro another moment longer he walks over to Sandra and sets the plate before her, "Good morning...or afternoon. I don't really know what time it is. Anyway, is there anything else you'd like or need?"

Meanwhile, Raiden had moved onto the action phase of his plan. As he watched from high up in the trees surrounding Konoha, his shinobi made their way into the village. Some of them simply walked through the gates, using genjutsu to make it so that no one noticed. Some of the more skilled ninja took out the ANBU guards and stole their masks and uniforms, taking their place. When everything was in place, and the five most skilled Uchiha members he had brought with him were inside, he entered Konoha himself, wearing a worn, faded black cloak and hood to disguise himself, keeping his Sharingan hidden for the time being.

Nodding to his five generals, they split up, three going in opposite directions, fanning out to cover more ground, two of them making their way casually to the Hokage's Office. Those two would sneak in and capture the Hokage and gain any information they could from him before ending his life.

While they did this, he made his way down the street until he finally smelled something delicious in the air. Looking about, he finds himself standing before a place called the Wooden Dragon. With a small smile he hides his face in the shadows of his hood before making his way inside.
