Spring came forth upon country, greeting the skin with a gentle touch of warmth and the sun smiling its bright rays down upon the earth. The winds danced playfully through the city streets as the new season came about, filling each heart with joys and hopes for the new year. There was a pleasant scent of flowers and freshness that lingered in the air, tingling the senses. It’s was a wonderful day and people began to slowly gather into the enormous courtyard which was outlined by cherry blossom trees and flurries and swirls of pink filled the square, making the children giggle and run about as they tried to catch the petals that flew about them. Yet within this atmosphere of happiness and warmth, there were some who just couldn’t laugh and instead had to clench their teeth to avoid tears. Within the giant building that stood in the middle of the courtyard, with everyone waiting before it, a child held hands with his parents inside a pitch black room with absolutely no light. Reflected off the big, watery pupil of the child kneeled a man and a woman, their faces smeared with blood and dirt, and their hands cuffed behind their backs. They seemed clinging to their lives, barely able to look at their helpless child who now stood in front of them with a red ruby pendant in his hands.Team Mission said:

”Stay strong, Hikari-kun.”
The mother said weakly, forcing something that seemed like a smile. Almost exactly after the woman finished her words, the wooden doors opened with a loud creaking noise, the bright sunlight blinding the eyes. A gigantic black silhouette appeared and grabbed the chains that bounded the hands of the mother and father, dragging the two out into the open stage accompanied by the rattling sound of chains that also bound their feet, leaving only the child standing within the room as he now watch his parents put in front of a crowd of thousands like slaves for sale. There was much clamor and whispering in the air as the mass talked about each other, all shooting sharp looks at the child’s parents. It was not long before an old man, appearing to be a noble appeared on the stage, speaking before the audience.
”Criminals Nagami Keitaro and Nagami Reina are to listen! I hereby, under the order of the 22nd Daimyo of the Earth Country, place both of you under public execution for committing treason. Any last words? Carry on.”
Silence filled the scene as thousands of mouths came shut and parents were busy covering the eyes of their children. But the black haired child stood in shock as he now watched the big black silhouette, who now under the sun showed the appearance of a big, muscular, and dirty-looking man, close to a juggernaut than human, slowly unsheathe his sword that looked like a gigantic butcher knife. The grinding of metal could be heard as the sword came out of its house and rose high in the air, glistening as the sunlight reflected off its face. The child did not even blink at this moment and kept silent, his heart beating a pace so fast he could barely stand. It was during the instant that the sun hid behind the clouds, creating a shade over world that the blade came down with a force, cutting two necks at once. Two heads rolled on the stage and a terrifying scream filled the courtyard. The cry came from the young, black-haired child as he just witnessed the death of his parents and the voice was filled with anger and sadness, an emotion that most could not understand. The high-pitched cry gave the chills to the crowd, clawing at their eardrums, and forcing all to cover their ears. It was unbelievable how such sound came from such a small body. Quickly, the juggernaut knocked the kid unconscious, sending him into a world of darkness.
Daimyo Complex (Location: Earth Country Capital)
The Daimyo’s Complex. The day was still bright being only two in the afternoon and sunlight entered the large hall which held a very high ceiling and mosaic windows on both sides allowing colorful sunlight to seep into the area, creating a sort of religious atmosphere. Four beings now walked through this hall, in the very front, Inu Endo, the Tsuchikage himself, followed by Uka the Medical Sennin and two of the finest Guardians of Iwagakure standing at both sides. At the end of the hall was a large golden gate designed with imprints of mythical creatures such as dragons, Kirin, and images of the gods that humans have thought to seen. The doors were shut and its presence would cause those who neared it, to be oppressed by the gigantic size and the feeling of superiority that it emitted as if it protected the path towards forbidden grounds. In fact it would only lead to a deeper corridor, but it remained unwelcoming and was guarded by two men. The man on the left had white hair, loosely tied in a ponytail and wore red armor and the noticeable features were the strange tattoos near his eyes and pale skin. The man standing on the right wore golden armor and his chestplate held the form of a lion’s head and the man himself wore a helmet that represented a lion’s mane. Rabieru’s cold blue eyes scanned both as the group now stood directly in front of them. Just by looking at the way they both stood, he could tell that they weren’t normal guards because there were absolutely no openings and he could sense that they held great amounts of energy. With Inu Endo in the lead, the doors creaked open, showing another corridor with some sort of red curtains seeming to be placed at the very end. That was probably where the Daimyo of Earth Country sat, waiting for her invited guest. [Music at this point!] But as the group advanced with Endo being the first to enter the inner hall, the two guards simultaneously extended their arms, crossing the hilt of their swords to create a barricade, separating Endo from the rest of the team. The lionhead on the right then looked at the remaining three shinobi with an arrogant look that disgusted Rabieru, before speaking to them in a deep voice, ”Only the Tsuchikage shall proceed from here on.” ’What the fuck were these clowns up to?’ Making a step forward so that he was now in front of Uka, the Medical Sennin, Rabieru stood with his brown wooden cane in his hands, staring at the lion guard with his usual cold look. On this day, he wore his strange, overfit white suit as usual, his black monkstraps, and his black gloves. The trade of glances towards each other only lasted a few seconds before the White Guardian slammed the cane onto the ground, sending a force of gravity that repelled everything outwards from him. The push wasn’t too strong but threatening and would have sent normal people flying a few hundred feet. As expected, there were no normal people in the hall and all figures would be able stand their grounds. White bangs on Rabieru’s head fluttered as well and when it settled down gently back to its face, he noticed that two blades were now crossed at his neck. In the very instant that his cane had touched the ground, the two guards had unsheathed their swords and raised it upon the White Guardian’s neck. Not normal swordsman. Yet, not flinching or more a bit, Rabieru spoke, "Wherever the Tsuchikage goes, the Guardians follow. That is the protocol.” There seemed to be a snicker that came in reply as the red-armored guard now spoke, in a tone that was very different from the lion guard’s, almost close to hissing, "Well, you’re inside the House of Daimyo right now. So play along with our rules before things get messy, eh? Shi-no-bi.” The grip on the cane became tighter as the Guardian clenched his teeth. In his personality, he would have already punished the pale samurai and cut his tongue but he suppressed the urge because he was under the presence of his Kage and Sennin and it seemed that they were called for some serious and urgent matter. What would the fellow Guardian Souji do in this situation? The Guardians had duties and pride in their positions and the samurais seemed to be looking down upon them and taunting them. Without anymore words, Rabieru simply waited for the Tsuchikage’s orders.OOC said:
