Kantar Utsui

"We must live with the consequences of our actions."

0 · 863 views · located in Land of Fire

a character in “Naruto: A History Made”, as played by minibear

Description

Name: Kantar Utsui
Nicknames: The Unseen, Lord Sixth
Age: 48
Gender: Male

Birthday: August 6th
Height: 5'5
Weight: 120
Blood Type: O-negative

Village: Iwagakure
Rank: Tsuchikage
Classification: 6th Tsuchikage, sensor
Young Kantar: Image
Academy Grad. Age: 8
Chuunin Prom. Age: 9
Jounin Prom. Age: 22

Personality: Hot-headed and aggressive in his youth, the Tsuchikage mellowed considerably once age and experience finally caught up with him. Nowadays, Kantar is patient, calm, clever, unflappable, and strategic. He typically gets along with everybody, or at least tolerates them, showing respect to those around him under nearly all circumstances.

History: Kantar's personality at the present is the almost polar opposite of what it was as a young shinobi. When he first entered the academy, Kantar was a young boy with exceptional talent and the ambition to become a legendary shinobi. Indeed, he was on the fast track to becoming a jounin of considerable power, graduating from the academy and passing the chuunin exam within the same year. However, with his exceptional ability came exceptional arrogance, a cocky attitude that knew not the definitions of fear, death, or respect. Hubris has a way of catching up with shinobi of this nature.

On a reconnaissance mission to determine the enemy's strength, Kantar disobeyed a direct order and the mission directive and tried to go ahead and rout the enemy ninja in spite of his orders. The ill-conceived plan resulted in the death of the squad leader, escape of the enemy, and the loss of his own eyes. This put his career on hold indefinitely. Not only facing disciplinary action, Kantar was wracked with guilt over the death of a teammate, shame of failing a mission, and depression over the loss of his eyes. Eventually, Kantar's strong will was revived, without the corruption of hubris. Managing to improve his already exceptional sensory abilities to compensate for the loss of his eyes, he finally became a jounin, and he took on his first apprentice at the age of 24. Though he and his apprentice had their differences, the apprentice went on to become a successful shinobi, and a few years after graduating the shinobi, Kantar became the Tsuchikage at the age of 37. Now 48, Kantar is an experienced leader who knows his way around a battlefields both literal and political in nature.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tailed Beast: None
Clan: None

Weapons:
Chakra Type: Earth, Wind, Fire, Dust
Kekkei Genkai: None, possesses the kekkei tota Dust Release, and Perfected Camouflage
Description: Dust release combines the natures of wind, fire, and earth. Using dust style, Kantar creates a three dimensional shape of transparent chakra, with a white orb at the center. Once completed, the shape is fired at the enemy with incredible speed, expanding and trapping the enemy within itself. The sphere in the center then detonates with such force that the enemy is vaporized, blown apart on a molecular level.


Signature Techniques:
The Blind Sensor: With the loss of Kantar's sight, his other, already strong senses became even more acute. His hearing and smell are in a league all their own. Kantar is able to sense his surroundings through the ground and the natural energy in the world around him. His ability to sense the chakra of those around him is to be feared, his sensory skill is powerful enough to independently distinguish chakra natures. His skill is such that he is able to fight most opponents solely by sensing their chakra in order to determine their location, power, and technique they are using.

Kantar Utsui & Kavic Toth
"Well this should be fun. I always enjoy observing the progress of our youth, their futures stretching out ahead of them. The fierce spirit of competition and the desire to prove themselves. I do hope we have a strong showing this year." Kantar, the Sixth Tsuchikage spoke in a cheerful, whimsical voice. As if he was remembering his own youth.

"Whatever. I just hope our genin don't make the Hidden Stone a source of ridicule...again. Besides, why does this have to be in the the Hidden Leaf? The Hokage is a worthless snake. We could just do our own exams like we used to, it would be better." Kavic was less than cheerful. Much less, he walked beside the Tsuchikage, displeasure radiating off of him. Scorn for the Hidden Leaf dripping from his words. Kantar did not bother to respond, he had already explained numerous times that the exams had to be collaborative to help maintain the balance of power. It also allowed the villages a chance to scope out each other in a mostly peaceful setting. And it was just the Hidden Leaf's turn to host, nothing to be done there. Indeed, Kantar knew Kavic was just being unpleasant. He always got that way when the Hidden Leaf was involved. The two were clad rather indiscreetly, wearing dark cloaks, Kantar's a lighter brown and Kavic's a black. Neither one of them wore the headbands of their Village, Kage's and their assistants typically refrained from headbands. Toyoka Shigemitsu was also accompanying them, clad if not indiscreetly, at least not in Hidden Stone garb. He often wondered what he did to get stuck with the both of them. A man who hated women, a women who hated men. He supposed the universe was just funny that way. Kantar was wearing his Kage hat, even though the thing was rather large and bulky. He had since grown accustomed to it and did not it as much as he used to.

When the small group from the Hidden Stone reached the gate to the Hidden Leaf Kantar turned to Kavic and said in a serious voice, "Don't cause trouble today. We don't need an incident. Not now." And to Toyoka, "That goes for you as well." For his friendly demeanor and cheerful attitude, Kantar knew that some wounds ran to deep for any healing, especially emotional wounds. It was rather cruel, if effective, the tactic employed by the Leaf shinobi to get Kavic off guard. And despite outward appearances, Kantar had certainly not forgotten the incident. He no did not trust the leaf, especially now with their ambitious Hokage. He would be on his guard, they all would. He took on a more resigned tone, "And please don't quarrel with each other too much, it was bad enough listening to you both all the way here, try and enjoy the exams, or at focus on something other than your mutual dislike for each other."

Looking around, Kavic recognized the Raikage, wearing far less than most of the people around. Hell, she was wearing less than he slept in most times. He felt a deep scorn welling within him. Lana...she looked so much like her. Truth be told though, he saw Lana in every girl, and every Leaf shinobi, if you could call the cowards that, it seemed like too much credit in his eyes. Then some leaf brat calling her self Mia showed up, she was radiating a strange chakra, putting Kavic a little more on edge, this was shortly followed by a lightning bolt touching down, bringing in a Cloud ninja who introduced himself as 'Ano'. "Lord Tsuchikage, the-"

"-I know, I lost my sight, not my perception. I could sense the Raikage from a way off." The two made their way over to the Raikage, and in a cheerful voice Kantar said, "Greetings Lady Yoko." He typically referred to the other kage by their names rather than titles as a sign of equality. "I hope you are doing well. Are you looking forward to the final round?" Not exactly serious discussion, but Kantar wasn't an all-business, no-nonsense person. He was happy to engage in small talk every now and again. He seemed perfectly at ease, regardless of the flashy entrance from the one called Ano. However the girl, Mia... she was radiating chakra in such a way even regular shinobi would pick up on it. With his beyond-exceptional sensory skills, he read far more into the chakra. My, this one certainly was interesting, a jinchuriki right here in front of him.

Toyoka


Making up the back of the pack was a woman by the name of Toyoka Shigemitsu. She was most commonly known by the villagers as Lady Toyoka, and by outsiders as The Painted Lady. Toyoka wasn't entirely sure why she had decided to accompany the Tsuchikage on his journey to Konoha. Perhaps it was the desire to witness another round of battles that she had never had the opportunity to participate in, or perhaps she found some sort of benefit to following the group and decided to exploit it to the fullest. In any case, Toyoka stuck out like a flare in the dark of the night, dressed in flowing silk robes with one side dropped slightly to expose a tattooed shoulder. Her hair was styled in its trademark design, while her face had been painted with reds and yellows that matched the design of her robe.

She was smoking from a jade pipe, looking genuinely disinterested until they finally neared the village and the woman made her way from the back of the pack towards the front. "How cynical of you, Kavic." Toyoka commented. She never really liked him, but knew it would be foolish to fight him in a head on battle, as she most likely didn't stand a chance. "Thankfully, not all the Iwa shinobi think like you." She added somewhat cheerfully, though the smile on her face was obviously a fake one.


Yoko


Yoko giggled softly, turning to Ano. "And I thought I had lost you." She joked, putting an arm around the man's shoulder in a friendly embrace. "But somehow, I had a feeling you'd still be able to track me down." Ano was one of the few people Yoko fully trusted, having known him for such a long time, so it wasn't uncommon that she would bring him along on some diplomatic trip. When the young girl spoke of causing mayhem, Yoko couldn't help but to chuckle softly. Yoko herself had been a troublemaker in her youth, so meeting Mia was quite refreshing.

When the Tsuchikage and his posse arrived, Yoko smiled. "What a surprise bumping into you before the final round, Tsuchikage Kantar!" She said to him, genuinely happy to see the man. As the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth were practically neighbors, Yoko hoped to strengthen the relationship between Iwa and Kumo during her trip in Konoha. "Indeed I am. It's always nice to see bright, young gennin show their abilities in battle. Have many Iwa shinobi qualified for the finals this year?" She asked.

Jimaru Kaguya
Jimaru was idly leaning against a fence outside of the main gate. He had been sent in advance of the Mizukage. He impassively watched the gathering the main entrance, the Tsuchikage and the Raikage. He just watched and waited. He bore no identifying marks or clothing of his native village. The Mizukage should be along soon, assuming Genta finished his mission on time. The timing couldn't be helped, so Jimaru had been sent ahead, it wasn't that big of a deal, he was marked with the flying thunder god seal, so the Lord Shuro could transport himself to him nearly instantly. In the meantime, he was content to watch the passerby.

Shuro Otsugi
Shuro stood in the door to the Mizukage's, his very own, office. He finally caught sight of the Genta's massive flying lizard setting down outside, and waited for the man to show up. When he caught sight of Genta making his way up to the office, he strode down to meet him, noticing that he did indeed have the Samehada. I see your mission was a success, good. So you have your sword now, are you coming to the chuunin exams or not? Jimaru is already there waiting for us.

Kantar Utsui

"Ah! Glad to see someone else shares my view on these fine battles!" Kantar exclaimed joyfully when she mentioned the younger shinobi. However when she asked how his ninja had fared he bashfully scratched his head. "Well, after last year's debacle with quantity over quality, most jounin were reluctant to recommend their teams. As it stands now, only three of our genin are in the final round. But I feel like most of the instructors were just being overly cautious and held back a number of good candidates." He shrugged, saying, "Well I guess that means we will just have a proportionately stronger showing at the next exam. And you Lady Yoko, I've heard the Hidden Cloud is making a very strong showing this time around, you must be proud." He gave a friendly smile and nod as Ano went off towards the others
, "You as well good Ano."

Kavic Toth

Kavic watched from off to the side as the two kage talked about the tournament, happiness etched on their faces. The leaf brat had a strange conversation with the blind cloud fellow before taking off. And there was Toyoka. He hadn't said anything, wouldn't say anything in respect for the Tsuchikage's wishes, but she was very much on his bad side. She stood there, he could tell she was laughing at him, judging him, marginalizing everything he had done, been through, and sacrificed for the village. And her smile, fake as her appearance. It didn't matter that he looked far younger than his years, that was different, he didn't have a choice in the matter. She was just fake, fake like all women. He would get to fight her some day, he would show her his own way of painting...with her blood. Maybe it was just being in this cursed village that had him like this, this spineless, treacherous village. Hate, that was all he felt right now. Maybe he would...steal some pretty young leaf kunoichi's heart while he was here. It had certainly been a long time since he had done that. A murderous smile crossed his face under his mask and was gone. He looked over at Toyoka and glared. Not an angry, or sulky glare, no this was a look of hate. Nothing fake about that.

Kavic was distracted as the blind Cloud ninja came over to him. Ano, if he recalled. He had met him a few times, though they weren't particularly acquainted. "Hello Ano." He said flatly, wondering what it was he wanted to talk about. When he expressed his concern, Kavic actually felt a twisted eagerness inside of him. Letting out a low, cold chuckle he replied, "Ano I am always ready to take sides against the Leaf, you needn't worry about any lack of support from me if they start trouble."

Ano stood there waiting for Kavic's response. Then, all of a sudden, his entire energy seemed to....spark. Ano could feel it, he could taste it in the air. That feeling, there was no denying it. Joy....joy for death and a want for blood. Instead of a normal reaction to this, Ano smiled slightly. For he knew his answer even before he had said it. Letting out a low, cold chuckle he replied, "Ano I am always ready to take sides against the Leaf, you needn't worry about any lack of support from me if they start trouble." Ano's smiled increased, yet it was still rather small. "I am glad to hear it. If the Leaf try anything, they will be in for quite a surprise. It does my mind good to know that the Master of the Earth Grudge Fear technique will be an ally. Thank you Master Toth." He extended his hand towards Kavic and sustained his smile. The stories of this man all said he was a literal heart stealing monster who loves to bathe in blood. Ano couldn't see that, though. Ano couldn't see anything for that matter. He could feel the blood lust, but it wasn't the random need for battle. It was very very specific. It was like a sharpened and well honed blade, not a massive war hammer. He knew if the Leaf became Lady Yoko's enemy, this man would be one of their strongest and loyal allies. Ano was thankful that he was just as predictable as he originally made him out to be.

Toyoka

The glare that Kavic had given her seemed to have little ill effect on the woman. In fact, she even found it to be amusing, going so far as to daintily cover her mouth with her sleeve and let out a small, childish giggle, an action that Toyoka often reserved for her clients. The woman seemed to take pleasure in toying with him. In her eyes, Kavic was like all other men. Brute, battle hungry, and driven by the desire for dominance and power. But when Ano took them to the side, Toyoka turned her attention away from Kavic and focused on the Kumo shinobi.

She listened to Ano, an interested look on her face, though it would be hard for the others to tell whether or not she was interested by his words, or by the man himself. Toyoka rested the mouthpiece of her jade pipe on her bottom lip, waiting for Kavic and Ano to finish before speaking. "My purpose here is mainly to serve the Tsuchikage. If the Hokage, or any Konoha shinobi are truly brainless enough to even attempt an attack, however, you certainly have my support." She told him.


Yoko

Yoko listened to the Tsuchikage speak of the gennin from Iwa before smiling. "If that's the case, I'm sure Iwa will be the star of the exams next year!" She said to him cheerfully. When he spoke of the Kumo gennin, Yoko chuckled softly. "I can only attribute that to all the determined jounin trainers. After Kumo's lackluster performance last exam, I think a lot of them wanted to redeem themselves. Most of our gennin are second time participants, but at least they're determined to receive a promotion."

After the young Jinchuuriki returned, Yoko turned her attention to the group that was chasing after her. She frowned at the sight of the kids drenched in pig blood. Not entirely sure what to do in this situation, Yoko shook her head to the boys. She could feel the killing intent radiating from him, but Yoko remembered that she was in Konoha, and not Kumo, and she wasn't able to deal with the kids like she typically would in her own village. "No. Perhaps she ran off that way." She said, pointing in a random direction.

Kantar Utsui

As he was talking to Lady Yoko, Kantar overheard the conversation Ano had with Kavic. "Excuse me." He said quietly to the Raikage. He was over to the two conversing shinobi in a flash. "Kavic, Toyoka..." His tone was low and warning. "We already talked about this." Facing the other blind shinobi he said, in no uncertain terms, "Kavic does not speak with the authority of the Hidden Stone in such matters. This is neither the time, nor the place for such conversation. Such matters will be addressed by respective kage, not by subordinates. Remember that, all three of you." He shook his head as he returned to the Raikage, such foolishness was begging for an inter-village incident. As he was about to resume his conversation with the Raikage, he sensed the jinchuriki from earlier heading there way, with three others giving chase. The girl...Mia landed amongst them, begging them to act like they hadn't seen her. He resumed his friendly conversation with the Raikage, it would pay to be nice to the jinchuriki. When the angry chuunin arrived, he just ignored them and kept conversing with the Raikage, a genuinely pleasant demeanor around him, hoping that Kavic wouldn't do anything too confrontational. "Well I am glad to hear that your genin and their instructors are bouncing back so well. I am sure the competition will be spirited today!" As the chuunin departed and Mia came out of hiding, he listened patiently to what she was saying. So she wanted to leave the village? That was interesting, maybe he could capitalize on that at some point. Oh well, now was not the time. Facing the Raikage he smiled brightly, saying as he started off, "Well speaking of the final round, we should probably get a move on to the arena. Would you allow this old man the pleasure of escorting you to your seat?"

Kavic Toth

Kavic could tell Ano was happy with his answer, the smile that touched his lips, the expression, the tone of his voice. He knew the blind man perceived him as a weapon. Just like everyone else did. Truthfully he didn't care, even though he supposed it was demeaning. Kavic was far past caring what other people thought about him. However, when Lord Kantar appeared beside him and chastised him, he bent his head in penance, not looking up until Kantar had finished reprimanding Ano as well and was going back toward the Raikage. "By your word my Lord." As much as he hated the leaf, he would not make Kantar angry or go against his will so deliberately. He mentally checked himself, no longer responding to Toyoka's provocations.

That lasted until the leaf brat jumped down amongst them, running frantically from something. She then transformed into a mailbox shortly before three leaf chuunin covered in some sort of animal blood showed up. "Have you seen a purple haired bitch run by here" Kavic laughed at them coldly. The largest one was still several inches shorter than him, and he may have thought he was mad, but getting pranked like that didn't make people into murderous fiends. It just made them look like idiots. They didn't know the first thing about rage, fury, or the intent to kill. Maybe one day he would show him. In the meantime though he just laughed mirthlessly and shook his head.

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 froze for a moment. "I was going to give this to the Tsuchikage. To make sure it was kept under heavy guard.. But alright. To keep it alive." She whimpered, Raising the vial towards the man. She placed it in his hand and stepped back.

"Since you're a Mist Ninja, and you're well, Here. I'll assume you're the Mizukage's Guard, right? Well, tell the Tsuchikage i said Hello. And that i 'm sorry, yet again." She muttered, turning and walking towards the leaf village. Just before she entered the gate, Kagura ran up the walls, and walked along the side until she came to a halt at the stadium. With a quick handsign, she had appeared in a seat, and was ready to watch.

She smiled. It had been a while since she got to admire the leaf village in it's beauty.

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.

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.

Kavic Toth

Kavic was more than a little surprised when Kagura made her appearance. He watched on impassively for a brief time as she played her games, remaining unaffected by the genjutsu because he was far enough away, and Kagura was relatively far away. The Tsuchikage did not seem to be in immediate danger so he contented himself to watch. As he observed, he grew alarmed when she decided to blow herself up, but figured it must be a clone, she wouldn't just show up solely to blow herself to pieces. The rest of the kage were well protected by the Kazekage's wall, so Kavic saw to his own protection. Using hiding in a rock technique, he merged back into the concrete of the stadium, burying himself deep within the structure, while also using earth spear, better known as the iron skin technique for extra protection.

Kavic released the technique and slowly rose back up out of the rubble of the stadium after the blast subsided. There was a good deal of chaos. He watched as a few ninja did some damage to Kagura, then she floated up and spoke to the Tsuchikage, while two others talked to the Raikage as though some had not just blown up part of the stadium, the ninja responsible already forgotten to them. And that ninja, it made him sick to call her that, was standing before the Tsuchikage unchallenged. As if she had the right!

Rapidly weaving a few handsigns while Kagura was still distracted by talking to the Tsuchikage, her back to him, he used the Earth Style Rising Stone Spears, creating a number of spikes below and in front of her that shot up to impale her. However, as soon as the technique was cast, he silently launched himself at her from behind, using his surprising speed to his advantage. He used Iron Skin to give more force to his attack, aiming high, so that even if his ninjutsu attack missed he would still annihilate her with the high-powered taijutsu assault from behind.

Kantar Utsui

Kantar observed the chaos, safe behind the Kazekage's shield. It made him sad to see his former subject do this. At the end of it all, Kagura approached him humbly, saying "If.. You would like... I could.. I could use a Ninjutsu to reverse it.. You continue with your exams.. I get to walk away scot-free, sound good? Oh, and if i were to revive these people, i want something from you. Lord Tsuchikage, i want to be a Shinobi from Iwagakure again. Not a missing-nin." As near as he could tell this was the real Kagura. The clone had blown itself up, and this was the one that had cast a genjutsu and buried itself. Clones sometimes, but not typically bothered to preserve themselves unless the jutsu caster had explicitly planned for them to before using the technique. Given that, it was likely this was the real Kagura.

A look of pained sadness passed over Kantar's features. "Kagura...how could you do th-" He was interrupted as Kavic begun his attack. The spike shot up abruptly from right in front of and below Kagura. He had realized the attack was coming, but did nothing to warn Kagura about it. Rising from his seat, he monitored Kavic's attack, careful to not give Kagura any advance warning. He was ready to back up Kavic should the need arise though. How could Kagura have done this?

Kagura was about to speak again when a spike shot up infront of her and impaled her stomach. Shortly after, she was hit by some VERY strong Taijutsu from Kavic. She wheezed, coughed up some blood, and groaned in agony.

"How.... Evil of you.. Kavic.. Long time no see.. Eh?" She whispered, as this was all she was able to force out. "How i dit? My Lord, insanity... The fear of dying without a meaning.. Without my village.. It's maddenning. I.. I loved Iwagakure. - You pushed me to this.. I apologised, i tried to reverse the damage.. You just banished me." She wheezed, weakly clawing at Kantar. "And now.. You set your guard dog onto me... Heheh... Not to be expected, Hm?"

Kagura wheezed again, starting to fall although the spikes were holding her. "I.. I hope... I can be forgiven.. Even if i am to be jailed... The damage from my explosions.. Are minimal. A clone blew up, forcing my effects.. Weaker. As it were. I didn't want to destroy... The stadium.. Only to make an effect.. But seeing you." She paused to gasp for air, spitting slightly, "I.. I just acted.. Please.. Forgive me." She whispered, tears starting to slide down her face.

"I don't... Want to die, My lord.."

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.
