Academy Grad. Age: 8
Chuunin Prom. Age: 10
Jounin Prom. Age: N/A

Personality:
Not the kind of person most people assume would lead a country, Kankora is introverted and quiet. He would rather hear the opinions of others than voice his own, regardless of how dire the situation is. A bit of a loner, he will sometimes leave the premise without telling anybody and go on day long walks through the worst parts of the desert and come back perfectly fine. This isn't the best for his reputation as a Kazekage, but he doesn't think much of his title. Many believe that he had been in on it with his father, and his title as the Seventh is slightly shady - many others helped rescue the village as well, but many believe it was because of his Jinchuuriki and Elite status. Regardless of this, however, Kankora does his best to make sure everybody comes away slightly happy, and makes sure everybody stays in line.

This comes to the next large part of his personality, his survival instincts. This guy is a hardcore survivor, his training was being stuck out in the deserts of the Land of Wind for many nights to simply survive and cope with Shukaku. He has little to no mercy when it comes to disobedience - unless the results are fruitful - or laziness. Both are severely punished under his watchful eye if he is training somebody. He is also highly annoyed by complainers, whiners and people who don't understand how happy they are. Normally, in the Land of Wind, there are little to none of these types of people as the country itself has shaped the people into battle hardened, tough and gritty.

The reason he is loved by his country is actually his ability to inspire. He thinks nothing of the hardships that he has battled himself, as he doesn't want others worrying about his own personal problems. Instead, he encourages his entire country to push themselves harder than they did the day before, making them stronger and more reliable. In a way, he is a dictator, but a nice one (is that even possible?). He also strives to make his country more accepting of the other countries, as he is in debt to some of them for their assistance in his growing up (he would rather not name them, but Konoha is one of them... *sigh*). The main reason his speeches inspire so many is because he rarely gives them out, due to his stoic and loner attitude. When he does, he writes them himself and refuses help, usually locking himself away for days trying to make sure that they are perfect. He is, in a sense, a perfectionist when it comes to literature.

Finally, Kankora is extremely determined. He cannot rest - quite literally so - if there is a problem or if he hasn't perfected a technique of his own. If he loses, he will spend hours replaying it over in his head, making sure that he will never lose the same way ever again. This is where Shukaku influences his personality, as it is said to do: Eat away at the person on the inside. Kankora, if left alone for a multitude of hours after a battle, will return a babbling madman, constantly replaying the fight over and over in his head, unable to let it go, which results in Kankora having a serious grudge holding problem and a 'no surrender' attitude. Revenge, as they say, is one of the most powerful motivators, and Shukaku plays Kankora like a puppet at this time. It is even worse if the battle is raging on and the opponent does something to insult either Kankora's past history, his current state of being or mocking his inability to give in (usually happens while losing.) Kankora usually loses it, turning into a half Shukaku and afterwards feigning sleep. (think Gaara during the invasion by the sound and sand of Konoha )

History:
Not actually being a descendent of Gaara but his brother Kankuro, Kankora was brought up with high expectations. He was pushed to the limit every day of his life, constantly being reminded of his family bloodline of the Fourth. He attempted to utilize what his grandfather did, the Puppeteer, but never could get the handle of those pesky chakara strings. Instead, he just focused on his ability to use his Wind Release and hard determination. Thinking that was enough, he graduated from the academy at 8 through sheet luck, really. His ninjutsu was actually his strong point, as taijutsu was harder for a lankier guy and genjutsu was downright confusing to him.

However, it was at this point that the previous Jinchuuriki, Gaara himself, was getting old and was slowly losing his ability to contain Shukaku. It was then decided to place the beast within his great-nephew, who was Kankora himself. Thinking this as horrible, he almost ran away from home before Gaara approached him and soothed his nerves, talking about a man named Naruto who helped him learn the truth about friends, how to control the demon, and more interesting things such as that. Kankora reluctantly agreed to placing the One Tailed beast within him, and not 2 weeks later, the ceremony was performed. It scarred Kankora for life. No longer able to sleep without releasing the beast, he was told to wander the desert and learn to control the sand, and learn of his kekkei genkai - Magnet release. It still didn't help that his mother shunned him for life now, or that his father was much too pleased by the idea. Kankora lived a little better than Gaara did, people instead of keeping away from him out of fear now pressing against him and expecting him to be of the same caliber as Gaara himself.

By the time he was 10, he stayed out in the desert more and more, to keep the watchful eye of the people away from him. He entered the chounin exams, and promptly destroyed his competition, almost killing one kid in the process due to Shukaku twisting his emotional instability of having to 'push himself harder'. Once he returned however, his life would never be the same. People insisted that he would become the next Kazekage, and everyone agreed. He was pulled out of the teams, away from his friends, and trained in politics, sand techniques, and such by Gaara in his dying years. The fifth died when Kankora was barely 12, which begged the question: Who would be numero six? The debates flew around the tables, people bickered. Many thought that Kankora should be the next, yet more disagreed due to his age. After many discussions, it was decided that his FATHER would take over the role until he could fill into it and become the 7th. On the day they crowned him Kazekage, Kankora had a sneaking suspicion that his father may have planned this from the start.

Sunogakure went into a nose dive. Under the Sixth, the countries relationships with others became fragile and broke, trade became meager, and the army became larger than the country could handle. The newest Kazekage was a tyrant, and everybody regretted their decision. Many questioned how the son of a very respected ninja such as Kankuro himself could stoop so low, but those questions would never be answered. Many left for neighboring villages and even countries, especially Kankora. He left for Konoha not ten days later, for many feared that his father would become jealous of the boy's power. There, he stayed in refuge, keeping to himself and his scarf well above his nose. Under his 10 year reign as the sole Kazekage, the people endured droughts, poverty, military ruling, and utter dismay. It wasn't until Kankora, now 22 years old, returned to his homeland and overthrew his father, exiling him to the deserts to become the new Kazekage, the Seventh.

OTHER! This is sorta important!
Kankora is actually blind in his left eye, which is why his hair covers it. It was an accidental side effect when Shukaku was implanted in him, causing him only to be able to see out of that eye when Shukaku possesses his body. his left arm was also disfigured slightly, which results in the reason why his left half is covered by clothing and his left hand is bandaged.

So begins...

As the Winds blew into Konoha, so did the Kazekage, known as Kankora the Scorpion of the Sands.

The village was bustling with people, as more streamed in from other nations to watch their beloved genin attempt the chuunin exams. Kankora, on the other hand was slightly different, as he was there to represent his nation as a hole. However, even with his kage hat tipped low so he could barely see, or his scarf being a little higher than usual - he blames the cooler temperature - he still walked through the crowds like one cut a fruit. It was highly annoying to receive stares from people that he had seen or met over his life, for he had lived in Konoha for a good 5 years before going out on his own. And yet, the villagers stared at him, like he had returned to them as a different being all together, a monster or a lady. He scoffed at the notion and shook his head a little, his green brimmed hat falling ontop of the Sand Gourd that never left his back. His white hair caught the light, and he pulled his scarf up a slightly bit higher.

He turned his mind to more important matters, like how there was only 1 Sand ninja left in the finals, which was a great disappointment for his country. Normally, in the past years, at least 3 had kept alive until the final round, but it seemed that this just wasn't their year for success. Nevertheless, the one gennin that was representing the Sand nation was very skilled, and he hoped for that girl that she did not lose. His only good eye, which gleamed a dull golden colour, just like the gold dust that the past Kazekage used. He was slightly unnerved by the other villages this year, as they seemed to have pumped out more and more skilled ninjas, which made his slightly nervous. Many dared not attack the Hidden Sand village due to the harsher environment (besides, their Kazekage could control sand. Not a smart idea attacking a village surrounded by the stuff) but it didn't settle his thoughts.

As he headed towards the arena, oblivious to anybody that was around him - he got that way sometimes - he began to think of the other kage's and their personalities. The Tsuchikage he didn't have many concerns about, he was quite tolerable and very level headed. The Raikage, on the other hand, Kankora understood the most, and had a little more trust in her than he did the next two. Both the Mizukage and Hokage were shifty annoyances in Kankora's opinion, and while the Hokage was simply REALLY ambitious, the Mizukage was devious. He trusted that man the least, and usually stayed very withdrawn when it came to the Mist leader.

When he finally came back into reality, he could hear voices not far in front of him and he stopped. Since his eyesight was quite dulled, his ears usually figured out what was going on around him, and he could hear the voices of the Raikage and some other ninja. He spotted them not far from his own position, but now he was in a predicament. He could walk over towards them and exchange welcomes as he should do as a Kazekage, but that wasn't the way Kankora usually operated. Instead, he simply continued walking towards them, as the arena was in that direction. If they chose to engage him, he would talk as much as he needed to, no more.

Yoko

Mia's words seemed to stick in Yoko's mind, and even after the girl left to do her own things, Yoko couldn't help but to wonder what she was talking about. Her initial views on the village were anything but negative, though all that was going on left her with an impression that much had changed since Konoha's 'glory days', and though they were still one of the strongest villages of them all, Yoko couldn't help but to feel that such a status was slowly declining. However, that was simply Yoko's opinion, and she knew better than to underestimate others. Yoko laughed at Kantar's words. "Oh please, Tsuchikage, you're far from old. But now that you mention it, I realize that standing in the middle of the street probably isn't the greatest idea, especially if our purpose today was to watch the final rounds." Yoko started to head in the direction of the stadium, but stopped when she saw the Kazekage approaching. Yoko waved to him. "Well.. it seems that most of the Kage have arrived.. we have yet to see the Mizukage, or the Hokage, but I'm sure they'll show up, if they aren't already at the stadium." She said aloud to no one in particular. She hoped for a normal, relaxing day in a foreign village, but the rumors of the Hokage's great sense of ambition had traveled all the way to Kumogakure, leading Yoko to be much more alert and ready to respond to any situation.

Toyoka

As the Tsuchikage came and scolded the trio for their discussion, Toyoka's icy cold expression remained unchanged. There were very few men Toyoka could actually tolerate, but the Tsuchikage was one of them, and over the years, the woman had done (what she viewed as) countless favors for the man, something that was practically unheard of from her. Even after her retirement from the ANBU, Toyoka was known to readily accept and complete any mission given to her by Kantar. After the man left, Toyoka puffed out a small cloud of smoke from her mouth before placing the pipe into the sleeve of her robes.

Kantar Utsui

As they moved along, Kantar considered the situation as it stood. He really couldn't afford to trust the Hokage, he was entirely too ambitious, and that could well lead to catastrophic consequences for the surrounding lands if he decided to do something foolish. That being said, he knew that Kavic, Toyoka, and Ano were right to plan for the possibility of betrayal by the leaf, they wouldn't be doing their jobs if they weren't considering such an eventuality. Not that Toyoka really had a formal position or responsibilities anymore. Still, just because the Raikage and her assistant were friendly and unassuming didn't mean they could be trusted either. He would just need to have a more through discussion later on what to do about the Leaf...threat. And it was certainly good to know that the childish jinchuriki wasn't happy here. Maybe she could be persuaded to leave. That would be a blow to the Leaf, and a valuable potential boon to the power of the Hidden Stone.

Sensing the Kazekage's presence he gave a friendly wave to the man. "It is good to see you here, Kankora. Are you ready for the matches? We were just on our way to our seats to watch the proceedings."

Kavic Toth

As the Kage's resumed their discussions, Kavic dismissed himself. "I will go and make sure your seat is ready Lord Tsuchikage. I will await your arrival." Using the body flicker technique, Kavic rapidly made his way to the Kages' area. Observing the crowded arena, he wondered if the imbeciles of the Hidden Leaf would try to cause trouble for the Tsuchikage today. He hoped that they would.

Kagura straightened herself up, and sprinted towards a tree, running up it and leaping onto the top branch. From here she could see Konohagakure. She put Chakra into her feet, to speed herself up, and leaped from tree to tree. Ten minutes had passed, and she had finally made it to Konoha.

She silently landed on one of the walls, and instantly turned to scan the area for shinobi. She was taken aback at what she saw.

The Tsuchikage. The one person she couldn't bare to see, the only person she was terrified of. She had to hold back her tears, as they would create noise. She whispered his name, and the name of his assistant, who seemed to be moving through the gate.

"K-Kantar.. Lord Tsuchikage.. Oh, dear god." She whispered, panic coming over her. She was almost paralyzed with fear. After being banished from Iwagakure, she generally was quite scared of the Tsuchikage. She turned slightly, and saw the other Kage's. She couldn't tell if it was all of them, or some from a distance. She could see the Raikage for sure, though.

Kankora raised his hand in a friendly wave to the Raikage. He knew that they would notice him eventually, but on the inside he really wished they didn't. He was shy and stoic, which didn't make for very good conversation with many others that he either didn't know or trust. Kind of odd how a man so quite held the authority over the second largest country of the Great Nations. If he continued to dwell on such topics, however, he would miss the chuunin exams and his entire visit to Konoha would be slightly wasted. He might as well go searching for the family that took him in over 15 years ago and see how they were doing. With any luck, they wouldn't be afraid to find out he was a jinchuuriki or the son of the 6th Kazekage.

Snapping back to reality, he continued to move forward towards Kantar and bowed slightly to the Tsuchikage, who was his elder, so he felt it necessary. He was, in fact, still considered young to be a kage, but then again so was the current Raikage. "Likewise, Kantar." His voice was an interesting one, as it was quite deep for a man of his stature (sure, he was 6'2 but he was skinnny) yet it was soft and smooth, not gritty and intimidating as what most people assumed it would be, considering his lifestyle. "I was heading there myself. However, our chances have slimmed since the years before." He finished his sentence before a whirlwind of events happened. He really took no heed to any of them, contemplating what was going to happen if his little genin should lose. As long as she showed prowess above most other's level, he may promote her due anyway. The chances were slim though.

He was about to continue forward, when he turned back towards the gate, as if he had heard something. His hearing wasn't on par with the Kantar's, by any means, but feeling the ground for vibrations came with the scorpions. There were ninja outside the gates, as that was obvious, but they seemed to be in a large group. He turned back, and shook his head slightly, muttering to himself to stay focused. "Kantar, has the Hokage or Mizukage shown up yet? I noticed you and Yoko, but not either of them." He didn't like that at all, actually. Having the two most ambitious leaders not present yet unnerved him slightly, which caused his Magnet Release to get a little wonky and start moving his chakra infused kunai.

Jimaru Kaguya

Jimaru turned and nodded slightly to Kagura, glad that they were still on good terms. Once Genta had departed, and after making sure there was no one else around he faced the woman. "The one I represent would like to meet with you." He removed a special kunai from his tunic, one of the same variety used by the 4th Hokage. He was being cryptic, for the sake of deniability should someone overhear them, but he knew Kagura would know he was talking about the Mizukage. "It has to do with a certain proposition. To that end, we were wondering how you would feel about helping us get a gift for the Tsuchikage. He turned to look at the Leaf Village. What do you say? Would you be willing to help us out? I believe there is a certain clan here that has just the gift we are looking for... Maybe something in red?" Without saying it explicitly, he figured she would understand what he was talking about. Something red they could get for the blind kage.

Shuro Otsugi

Shuro made quietly made his way through the village alone. The hat of the Mizukage resting on his head. After a time he reached the rest of the kages as they were about to enter the arena. "Hello my fellow Lords and Lady." He said this with a pleasant smile and a slight bow to the group. "Sorry for my tardiness, I hope I didn't hold anything up."

Kantar Utsui

As the group was on their way, Kantar enjoyed the warm weather. It was rather nice, he did enjoy this weather the temperate weather of the Leaf Village. However, he was pulled away from enjoying the weather as a he detected a familiar presence. He increased his sensory projection and sharpened the focus on the presence to be sure. There was no doubt, Kagura. Kantar did not stop walking, slow down, alter his gait, or even change facial expressions. To even the most astute interrogator, it appeared as though nothing had changed. But in his mind he was wondering what Kagura was doing here, now of all times. He hoped she wasn't here to stir up trouble, heaven knew they didn't need it now. She was in close proximity to a chakra signature he recognized as belonging to one of the Mizukage's men, his assistant. And then their was another, with the distinct, proud chakra of an Uchiha.

Kantar observed the short-lived battle as the Uchiha attacked, and had his...tailed beast? Sucked out by Kagura. Now there was a surprise. The Mist ninja made the body disappear. Kantar continued to walk along, seemingly oblivious to the tragedy he had just witnessed.

The Mizukage soon caught up with them, right as they were about to enter the arena and before he could answer Kankora's question. Kantar had detected him about the time he had expanded his senses to get a better bead on Kagura. "Hello my fellow Lords and Lady. Sorry for my tardiness, I hope I didn't hold anything up." Kantar faced the man and smiled, "Speak of the devil, we were just beginning to wonder if you wouldn't be able to make it!" He laughed, "But no, its perfectly alright, we all just arrived a short while ago ourselves." He decided that for the time being he would say nothing on the matter of Kagura, he was currently unsure of what exactly she was doing here, and didn't want to start trouble. Kantar could tell that Toyoka was using her special technique as well, no doubt she had picked up on Kagura. He wondered what the former Stone ninja could be up to, though he continued to act for all the world as though his only concern was to enjoy the tournament and the company of his fellow Kage.

Kagura smiled, and disappeared in a small puff of smoke. Alright, since the battle is in motion, they'll be concentrating on the Gennin. She thought, reappearing on the wall above where the Kages were sitting.

"Now, let's get this started. Explosion Release: Twin Clay Birds!" Kagura shouted, throwing clay into the air and making the handsign for Tiger. The clay turned into two giant Birds, and flew towards the Gennin. There was a large explosion, and the Gennin were thrown to each side of the arena. She made a third one, and flew on it, eventually floating in the centre. "So, then. It's about time we met face to face." Kagura laughed, directed to the Kages. "I assure you i won't do much harm to this village. Especially you Kages." She continued, making a handsign and an innocent Villager, a Teenage girl, appeared infront of her. She was about to jump off the bird and save herself when Kagura wrapped an arm around her neck.

"It's no fun if we don't have a hostage." She laughed. The bird suddenly opened it's beak, and fired out smaller birds before flying at the Kages. "It's time to play." She laughed again, the bird going faster. Eventually, it fired like a bullet at them. "Here i come!"

(( And so it begins. ))

Kankora had been directed to his seat and watched as two gennin stood in the middle of the stadium. They were met with cheers as they started the fight, and Kankora simply watched. His facial expression was always hidden behind his scarf, but he was actually smiling in a bemused way. He enjoyed watching two competitors attempt to win for their country, fighting with their true potential and never backing down. The one who worked the hardest would win, that was what Kankora always told his pupils and fellow ninjas. Skill comes with practise, and natural skill is an illusion.

Enough of that babbling, Kankora noticed that the Hokage still hadn't shown up for his own hosted chuunin exams. He wasn't sure if the Hokage was just being tardy, or very rude, either of the two being very disrespectful and highly annoying in Kankora's eye. He hated lateness, which was a form of laziness, and being rude was just that. Still, it was funny to see how intensely focused the Raikage Yoko was into the matches, even if he didn't care for them much himself. He was more interested in his own gennin, the female ninja from Sunagakure, that would be in the finals. While she had potential and was a very good worker, he was curious to see how she would fare against equally strong ninja.

But that was when it had to all go to hell, didn't it? Two clay birds blew up the middle of the arena, and a familiar looking ninja appeared on a clay bird flying above the stadium. Kankora couldn't see that well in the first place, but he could hear her just fine. "So, then. It's about time we met face to face. I assure you i won't do much harm to this village. Especially you Kages. Kankora raised his right eyebrow out of confusion. Where was this coming from? Some randomly annoying ninja that just happens to be able to use a dead technique? He looked sideways at Kantar, guessing that she was probably from his village, or formerly.

What was worse was that she even had to have a hostage. What kind of sick ninja needed a hostage to get what they wanted. He began to seethe in anger, stepping forward and iron dust slowly coming out of the gourd. The gourd actually contained a mixture of both iron dust and sand to make it easier on him so he didn't have to break down any other metals in the area, since that would require more chakra to control. As the iron dust came out it began to form an object which resembled an iron shield. What made it funnier was that he was activating his Magnet Release, which made most iron tools or weapons in the area around him useless as the magnetic field grew. He kept his voice dangerously low as he spoke to her, iron dust hovering in the area.

"Time to show you that ninjas that don't have shame die shamefully." He snarled, then spoke once more. "Iron Sand. Gathering Assault." He bit off the last word, and the massive iron shield formed in front of the Kages. He turned to them and hissed. "I believe it is time we acted." He was hoping they would take the hint and scatter before they collided with his metal shield.

The crowd was shocked at what was happening. A stranger was interfering with the battles. The examiner jumped into the field, followed by the Jounin sensei of the two gennin, who took their students to safety. Meanwhile, the examiner picked up the microphone, looking up at the crowd that looked in shock, though most of the people were generally composed, still absorbing what had just occurred. "Please, everyone, calm down!" The examiner pleaded in an attempt to squelch any crowd riots, but people were already starting to panic. It wasn't often that bombs were dropped on the village, but if the massive group fled the scene at once, injuries, and even fatalities, may come as a result.

When the young villager girl was taken from the crowd, the public descended into chaos, and the common villagers started to make a mad dash for the exits while the shinobi prepared their weapons and looked up to the Kage booth. The girl had a look of horror on her face when she appeared in front of Kagura, and after her failed attempt at escape, the girl attempted to mouth the words 'help me', though at a distance it would seem like the girl was simply just opening and closing her mouth.

Yoko

When the girl attacked the gennin, Yoko shot up from her seat, slamming her fist into one of its arms and accidentally smashing the small thing to bits. "What is the meaning of this!?" Yoko shouted out, pure rage emanating from her voice as she shot Kagura a death glare. Not only was this stranger interrupting the exams, she made a direct attack at her own shinobi. Yoko would never let this one go until she was properly disposed of. When she turned to find the chair of the Hokage still empty, Yoko's anger boiled over, and she clenched both of her hands into fists. The air around her was slowly becoming dry and static. "This is unacceptable! When I get my hands on that man.. I swear.." She muttered before the Kazekage reacted. Yoko stepped back, though her heart was beginning to pump faster and her lust for battle slowly took over. If he failed to knock the girl out of the sky, Yoko would take advantage of the situation and take her out before the others.

Ginga woke up in his bed and looked around for his brother. "Genta? Genta where are you?" Ginga felt strangely good and instictivly jumped out of bed starting toward the bathroom. In the restroom he saw his older brother collapsed on the floor dead. "Genta!?" Ginga cried out and checked for a pulse in his brother. There was none and Ginga was devastated. "Genta, what did you do?" He asked himself and looked into the mirror to see that he had six stripes on his face.

The situation finally caught up to Ginga when he saw his brother's body once more and he felt more powerful. "AH!" Ginga screamed and a red aura grew around him with A red aura tail shooting out of his back side. "Who made him do this?! Why?!" He yelled and looked over toward Konoha when he heard an explosion.

Without warning Ginga was speeding toward the village at alarming rates knowing that the person that made Genta do what he did was there. When he arrived at the stadium where he saw a young woman being held hostage by a crazed ninja, Ginga could smell Genta's scent on her captor. "Let that girl go!" He boomed and shot directly up at the clay bird that the ninja was riding on. He could see dust particulates and a paper airplane going at the bird as well, he assumed the worst and knew that he had to get the hostage out first. "Ninja Art: Fang Wolf Fang!" Ginga started to spin violently and drilled right through the bottom of the bird and grabbed the hostage when he came out leaving the ninja alone on her bird.

Ginga landed on the roof and let the hostage go while entering his own mind. "What where am I?" He asked and saw a giant cell with huge eyes staring at him. "Welcome boy, you aren't like my last Jinchuuriki." It boomed and gave a wicked grin. "Jinchuuriki? Like my big brother?! Can you tell me what happened to him?" Ginga asked the voice pleading with him. The voice laughed and quickly told him that he was now his Jinchuuriki and he didn't know anything about the other Bijuu's hosts. "So what did you want boy?" The voice wondered and clawed at the cage. "Well I was wondering if I could get more power, that's what my brother asked his Bijuu." Ginga stated boldly and put his hands on the bars showing that he wasn't afraid and wanted a friendship with the demon. "Hmm your forward I'll give you that, alright I will give you more Chakra." The demon stated with the wicked grin growing to be warmer and more sincere.

After the little meeting in his head, Ginga felt another surge of power and another red tail shot out of him making two. His hair started turning from its natural snow white to a light brown color and the stripes on his face grew to be parted. "I'm going to tear you apart!" He boomed as loud as the demon was in his head. "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!" Ginga spat out a large stream of liquid fire, unlike lava but more like flaming water.

Kagura smiled at the chaos. She made a handsign, under the cover of the girl. The real Kagura was sitting below the stands. She didn't want to play games, especially now that the Tsuchikage was watching. The clone cackled like a deranged maniac, and when the Paper Gliders hit the fake Kagura, she disappeared. The real one muttered to herself. "Hidden Jutsu: Laughter of Death." With this, the clone was behind the male, and aimed a kick at his head. "Out of my way!" She shouted, then reappearing on the bird.

"Nobody ever understands art, do they? Murder is an art form.." She shouted, then a look of insanity formed on her face. She pulled her robes off, revealing just a small two peice set of a Bra and Shorts. She had a strange mark on her chest. "Remember this, lord Tsuchikage?!" She shouted, the mark started to spread along her body, eventually turning her into a black version of herself. "I would recommend fleeing now, while you have the chance. It's like my grandfather said.."

"Tremble! Be Arfaid Recoil in Despair! Cower in awe, and cry your heart out! Because my art...."

The real kagura quickly dug herself underground, and sealed it with a small breathing hole.

"Is an EXPLOSION!" The fake one screamed, although her version of the technique was only 3 Kilometers, it still packed a punch. Corpses were hurled, people were obliterated, and blood flew. Kagura poked her head out of the ground in the centre of the stadium.

"Um... Hi... How are you still alive?" She muttered, pulling herself out. She scanned the stadium for damage, and admittedly, not much aside from civillian casualties. She looked up and saw Kurama's new host. "Oh god. Figures i'd die for this." Kagura muttered, standing up - Low on chakra. "Alright. Give me your best shot, idiots!" She shouted, popping a chakra pill into her mouth.

Kankora was so confused by the events that were passing, that he just decided to sit back and watch. Once his shield had deflected all of the explosions from the kage's, he turned to witness the confusion. One the one hand, the Raikage was talking to a young man, a boy really, and the kid looked quite shy. Suddenly, he could feel Shukaku start to stir from within, and before he could stop himself he let out a low growl. He quickly stopped himself, and went into his inner being to go talk to the damn sand monster.

What the hell Shukaku?! You normally just stay put, not growl! Kankora wasn't in the best mood at the moment, after witnessing a massive explosion and confusing chaos.
That boy holds Kurama within him. Shukaku's voice was always unsettling to the Kazekage, seemingly scheming everything. It was slightly humorous, however, that Shukaku was getting angry because of past losses. Then again, so would Kankora.
Nine tails? Hmm...

Kankora withdrew from his inner thoughts before the possibility of accidently falling asleep, and studied the boy. He did not seem ready in any way to weild something of that magnitude. Especially since he seemed to be a newly made Jinchuuriki, since most of them didn't go up to the Raikage and simply state that they wanted to join the Land of Lightning. Kankora shook his head and turned to the bomber who was talking to Kantar. His good eye widened when he noticed that she was pleading for her life, and Kavic had speared her. However, unlike an emotional person who believes in life, Kankora simply watched and observed. He could tell that this woman was from Iwagakure, and even if she loved her country she commited disobedience. This, to Kankora, was a major sin and punished. Maybe not by death, but he wouldn't tolerate it, so he didn't intervene as she coughed and cried.

Another girl showed up, and he simply turned to her and gave her a long, hard stare, before returning his focus. He didn't care about that girl ninja that jsut appeared, as she apparently didn't care about her fellow villagers, so he had no respect for her anyway.
