Kazans eyes widened, as the receptionist told him the Raikage was waiting for him on the sixty ninth floor and encouraged him to take the elevator. Glancing in the direct, he sighed; it was time to face a fear. Gritting his teeth, he approached the elevator lobby, pressed a button, walked into one, and within seconds found himself exiting onto the sixty ninth floor. The look of frustration was clearly written across his face, though that didn't detour him from what he had to report. Walking out into a new lobby, he approached what looked like a secretary behind her desk. Without a single word, she spoke to him and gestured for him to go ahead and enter.
"I guess this is what it's like when you're expected." He told himself, reminiscing about the time he called Lady Kitsune to the Arena. Hopefully by now, any sort of animosity towards that was gone. Stepping forward, into the office space, there was she. With a brief greeting, and a statement about Abyss showing up, Kazan simply sat down and got ready to wait before acknowledging the Raikage's words.
"Understood." He stated.
As his eyes shifted about the office, he wondered how long it would take for Abyss to show up. When he left, they had so much on their plate he couldn't even imagine how over worked they might be. Before long though, Abyss had already made their apperance and greeted the Raikage, before turning to Kazan and acknowledging him and making an assumption about his "concerns". Nodding, he replied.
"I wouldn't call it a concern." He spoke, before looking at the Raikage.
"I'd rather cut to the chase than to dance around the issue, if the two of you don't mind." He Stated, before leaning forward.
"The Hidden Sand is at War with itself."
He'd tell the two of them, with a brief pause. Call it dramatic effect, if you'd like.
"When I arrived to their gates, I noticed it was unmanned. I was going to wait around, but within seconds of my arrival I heard massive round of explosions from within, followed by countless cries for help and distress from the civilian populous." He stated, trying to paint the two of them a picture of how he came into the knowledge in the first place. Not only was he doing that, he was trying to explain himself; he wouldn't want to two of them to get the wrong impression on his choice of actions.
"So, I entered their village and the first thing I witness is two massive warships, and a giant sand creation, duking it out in midair. Their village and it's civilians were suffering mass casualties and destruction as a result." He said, as his eyes shifted to Abyss.
Her apperance was a little different than he remembered, but she was here none the less.
"From there, I went further into their village and started assisting as many civilians as I could. There were collapsed businesses and homes, and people were panicking in the street. It wasn't long before I noticed a lack of their shinobi force assisting it's populous. My best guess is the vast majority of them were busy with the situation overhead. But, when I finally came across one of them.... something despicable happened." He stated, ending his sentence on a cliff hanger. A fit of frustration seemed to echo in his voice at the thought of what he witnessed, but was forced to allow to happen. If Kazan would've acted, the situation probably wouldn't have gotten any better.
"I witnessed one of their own, walking their streets and spreading more chaos. He was indiscriminately attacking innocents with some odd powers. I asked him to stop, he wouldn't. I asked him again, and my plea's were ignored. Rather than putting a stop to it, I chose to walk away because I didn't want to further damage any relations we might have with the Hidden Sand. I assumed he was this guy Abyss warned me about named Akkuma, but he told me he was a subordinate of the guy." Kazan told the two of them, before raising a hand up and tapping his temple.
"I used a technique known as Snapshot to record my interaction with that guy, but also to back up any of my claims. Just touch my hand and should be able witness my memory as if you were there yourselves." He stated, as Chakra poured from his temple into his finger, before engulfing his entire hand. Extending it out, he waited for the two of them to react. They had the option to either take his words for truth, or to witness his own memories for themselves.
