Mercantilism [Entering Country / Requesting Entrance]

[Akaoni Aomaki]

Ao Quang fit the dragon costume mask over his face. It was the facial representation of the Dragon King of the Eastern Seas, Ao Quang himself. Ao Quang had become obsessed with the mask and with Ao Quang. He hoped to found a temple dedicated to the Dragon King of the Eastern Seas and the Dragon Kings themselves in this country, or to join one that was pre-existing. The caravan bumped along some cobblestone as they went up the road. Ao Quang studied his wind chakra element weapons, "Pow-Pow". I want to name them Blam-Blam.. He thought to himself, feeling the pearl that was detached through a various process to allow for other augmenting invokers on the weapon.

A pearl is a dragon's child, unborn. These are my children for right now, it seems.. I am.. To keep them safe.. Yes, that is what I will do.. As soon as I enter through Dragon Tooth Pass, I will go forth and bring my news of Mizu no Kuni and of Hidden Mist's demises to these lands. These lands.. This gate is beautiful. I will.. Be reborn soon.. And henceforth from then my children I will bear in the fires underwater that will create new life.. New life!.. Such a windy land.. I'm glad I found out I have these latent powers berthed inside of my body. They will serve me well when I am fully understood by others to be He whom Creates the Winds and Controls the Seas..

It was an almost electric and thunderous shock when he looked at the gates up close this time. Beautiful, intrinsic and mystifying.. Truly an awe-worthy gaze. "So this is Hidden Cloud and its gates.. So I see!" "Indeed, Sire. Your departure from us will be saddening, but we hope you have the best in life afterward this since we're leaving two months from now." "Thank you, kindly and good friend of mine. I, too, will be saddened to leave this noteworthy and merry band, but I do need to find myself.." "Mmm. Here, we're coming upon the Shinobi look-out towers. Yugao, call the guardian to allow us access inside of Hidden Cloud. We are only refugees and merchants, so our guest-pass should allow us access...Though let them know we have one that wants to stay longer for what we wish to be here for." "Wakarimashita, Miru-sama." The strongman signaled for entry by requesting access from a Shinobi on one of the look-out redoubts. Ao Quang felt excitement inside of his stomach, and the bands waited. The horses snorted and clomped their hooves anxiously as they stood in place.

The first path in which Ayumi had created, though the soul that had merged with her as she had the surgery to gain her rinnegan had taken control of the path, though Ayumi would feel as if she was still in control. Hoshi stood at the gates moving the body she had taken control of as it had felt a bit weird to her as it had been quite a while since she had been in a physical body. She had seen a group of people walk up to the gate before clearing her throat. As the people and horses arrived closer and stopped, she would walk forward a few feet before speaking to them. "Welcome to Kumogakure. I am going to need the names, any identification, and reasons of why your here from anyone that's planning on entering. As well as any way to prove you won't make any trouble." She said. She had, more or less, the same knowledge that Ayumi had of the gate procedures, as they shared the same physical connections now.

She crossed her arms as she watched the group of people, wondering if it was only going to be some of them or if all of them were going to be entering the village. It would be interesting to learn who would be entering and who wouldn't, even though Hoshi hasn't spent much of her life, and even afterlife, within cloud. She figured that she would learn more about how cloud was compared to mist. Which had reminded her, Yuzuki and their mother must be worried sick about her, seeing as she never had the ability to send a letter back, saying that she was alright.

"Salutations, I am Yugao. I am a simple refugee traveling with other refugees and merchants. What may I be a refugee from? Well, if you want to ask...I am a refugee of the catastrophic events that have recently happened in Water Country and the Hidden Mist. The once warm tropics are now literally frozen over. The volcano's temperatures have reached pure sub-zero and the residing lands have been effected dramatically. All local fauna and wildlife is almost entirely dead and people have been scrambling to escape. Thousands are dead due to the devastating effects of the volcano on everyone there, and I, along with some of these others, are the only ones that have made it out alive. We seek refuge, some of us...Myself and another named Ao Quang. Some of us will be staying here for a while longer, while the other merchants are going to be immediately heading back out after selling goods in order to keep up pace of either helping more people or being able to stay alive themselves. I'm sorry we have no documents, but that is because we were all simple villagers not originally from the Hidden Village...We hope you can overlook war that has happened in past times and may we together forge ahead new peace with these startling events that have left us all broken, pained and homeless."

"Very good, Yugao-san. Thank you. If you wonder why I didn't ask myself, it's because that boy was the strongest upcoming politician that was originally in one of the small villages. It seemed fitting to use his applicable skills in this situation, Ao Quang." "He did it very well, Miru-sama. I hope the guard will let us through, now." "I hope so too." The two on the cart looked out past the horses and listened intently to Yugao-san's speeches.

"As for the other thing...We're literally all injured, mostly starving and very peaceful. We have no way of causing trouble here, I can assure you. What would it take for you to believe us?" Yugao-san had finished his speeches to let the guard retort. To put it in a different way, what Ao saw in Yugao...He was very hungered, as he saw him from the side for the first time. And now, looking down at himself and back to Miru-sama...He actually hadn't realized he'd been starving all this time. Though he had some yen, he wondered about being able to find a meal to eat. He looked back up to Yugao-san and watched more. That woman looks pretty.. Mmm.. He snorted to himself in contemplative thought and stared at the woman's beauty. Maybe you were my draconic wife..? Are you the bearer of my children? Your looks almost steal my soul~.. He hadn't realized it, but he had jumped from the cart, to the horse and downward to the ground. He had walked to Yugao-san's side and had been repeating the same sentences from his thoughts in a whisper under his breath. He made strange glorifying sounds as he looked up and down at the Path Guardian. "..H-h-hello! I'm the other refugee alongside my friend Yugao-san here.." He wrapped an arm around Yugao-san and squeezed him rather strangely. He released his grip as soon as he had it on him. He had his sight on that woman the entire time. "I'm sorry, but.. You're.. You're beautiful, darling.. What's a thing like you doing as a ninja? You should be royalty for your astounding looks..!" He was not able to hold a human look. He looked, dragon mask still on his face, at the woman with his hands all curled up on his belly and to his sides a bit as he somewhat flailed to himself and made even more stranger glorifying noises. "N.. Nya~.. Nyoom~..!!" He started flailing his upper limbs even more and squinted as he looked down a bit. "Nyaa~..!! Nyoom~..!! I'm the Dragon King of the Eastern Seas, Ao Quang..! I'm very much so pleased to have met you, O One of Beauty..!"

[OOC - Imagine he's speaking in Ao Quang's English-speaker's voice from Smite. The one from North America / other English-speaking places. ^w^]

Hoshi yawned a bit as she listened to one of the men speak about being a simple refugee along with others who were traveling with him and that the man called Yugao was a refugee from mist, and that the village was completely frozen. She froze for a bit, in shock. Her friends and family... She was instantly worried about them. Yuzuki and their mother, were they alright? She didn't know if they were or not.

Though she would snap out of it when she heard the man whisper what seemed to be his thoughts just loud enough for her to hear. She slightly blushed a bit when she heard him say that she was pretty, but it would end when she heard him whisper that she might have been his Draconic wife, and she nearly threw a clump of explosive clay when she heard him question if she was the bearer of his children.

"Look, I'm not going to be bearing anybodies children..." She spoke, restraining herself. "I still need some sort of identification and reason for you guys to be here. And I'd prefer none of you waste my time." She said, clearing her throat as she looked at all of them, with her mixed eyes.​

"Damnit, why does this kid have to fall in love right now?!" Miru-sama crossed his arms and laid back in the cart, looking up at the sky while he looked particularly pissed off at Ao Quang. "What the--.. Are you in love, little one? Hohohoh, I was in love once.. It was fanciful and frightening at the same time." Yugao reminisced to himself in deep thought until the woman looked a bit pissed off herself, just as Miru-sama was. "Oh, guardian, I am sorry for my friend's actions! He is young and shy and does not know the feelings he experiences yet. Also, for our identification.. I'm sorry, but we don't have as such. My house and my village literally burnt to the ground as it was being ransacked by vandals and murderers set loose from the prisons of the Hidden Mist.. I think I could care less about a piece of paper, but instead think about my life! I had to kill over 8 men with my bare hands! I know you might not think that's anything, but I'm not a ninja! I have a simpleton's emotions, as you might call it.. The rest of us came from the same village and most of us barely escaped with our lives from people that were trying to kill us as we tried to also escape from the land instantly freezing over. Everything's covered in ice and snow.. There's barely any water left at all that has liquid state! If you don't believe me, you can go there yourself and find out! It's terrible.. Please, I beg of you, allow us safe haven.. Asylum, safe passage into your halls! Nowhere else is safe.. Even in Fire Country and Leaf Village there is massive strife! People there are being massacred as well, and the Village and Country are falling into disrepair and ruin due to utter civil war! I know this because multiple refugees came from Fire to Water, and from Leaf to Water, as well as from Mist to Water." Yugao finished, looking very concerned as he breathed heavily from getting his mass of words out.

"The God of Time and the Goddess of Mercy saved me! They wish to begin the world anew! They gave me my children back, though unborn, as it may be! If we are destined to be together, then it must mean that you are the Dragon Queen of the Eastern Seas, and that we ruled together as equals with the other Dragon Kings and the other Dragon Queens, as well as the other Gods and Goddesses! If anything is true anymore, then it must be that these pearls.." He took a rather large orb-like pearl out of his rucksack that gleamed a fabulous lustrous whiteness and held it out to the woman, "..are our children! Let us be betrothed once more! You make my stomach flutter and my heart beat hard! Let's begin our new lives as mortals and soon find ourselves as immortals once this world is began anew from the valiant expeditions and brave heroics of all of the hidden Gods and Goddesses! Embrace me, my lover! Let us reconcile our souls into a new generation of peace and love and romanticism!" He flew down on one knee and gathered his composure. He held the other ring that held a smaller pearl augmentation on it meant for chakra element invocation. "If anything in the world is a truth, it's that you are lovely and that you deserve this! I hope you take my gift and think about my offers, please!" He looked up to her as he held both a ring with a small pearl and a large, sole pearl that he tried to bestow upon her. "Nyaaa~!! Nyoom~!!" He made the glorifying sounds once more as he blushed on his completely reddened face under his mask. If one tried to look, they could see that he was blushing as such.

As the men spoke, she listened as she crossed her arms even while the man who boasted about how beautiful she was. As the man took out a large orb-like pearl and hand held it out to her. She took it as she listened to him to speak. She wasn't much interested in the man as he spoke about how she made his stomach flutter and his heart beat hard.

She stared at the pearl she held in her left hand then looked back at the man who started to speak about how they should begin their new lives as morals and find themselves as immortals once this world is began anew from the valiant expeditions and brave heroics of all gods and goddesses. The man started to lose her attention as she started to squeeze the pearl with her left hand as he continued to speak and bringing up a ring as he held it up to her.

As the man made the odd noises again, she had put enough pressure on the pearl that she had handed him, that it would cause it to shatter. "I'm sorry. You're too young for me, as well as the fact that I don't know who you are. Now Yugao, and... what was it again? Ao Kang? Quang? Whatever it is, and this other person is...? I'll allow your passage, but if you cause any trouble within the village, I'll make sure you learn your lessons." She spoke, crossing her arms once more before looking back at the kid who was trying to flirt with him.

"Try two things for the future. Try learning how to actually flirt, and try getting to know me better over time, not just in an instance." She spoke, before turning her back to them and entering the village again, thus allowing the men into the village.

..God-damn, is she hard to get.. She crushed his child.. Yugao stood emotionless as he watched the violence unfold against the young boy that.. was clearly troubled in more ways than he was before he got here. Yugao wasn't sure how she literally destroyed an entire pearl with just her hands, but it was clear that she was pissed off at them and wanted zero trouble. I think the boy was being quite romantic since he himself is a lost soul just looking for a place where he could pray to his gods.. I wonder why she acted as she did.. He tried to sway her in the only way a man could heart-struck to entirely gain a woman's favor instead of just bed her for a night by using genjutsu or other mischievous things. Yugao frowned as he walked back to the carts and grabbed the middle connector rein of the horses and walked forward with them. Miru-sama stared at the pearl on the ground the entire time. He regretted speaking bad about Ao Quang's strangeness in trying to woo women. He, too, was a child. He, too, failed to have a woman as of yet. The entirety of men here hadn't had a woman yet. Miru-sama needed to repent somehow, and he began whispering, "Namu, namu, namu.." under his breath as he got a little teary over the harshness of the situation. This entire time, Ao Quang stared at the pearl and ring laying on the ground. He was creating a puddle of water in his mask from his eyes. He immediately realized that he had been wrong in assuming that woman was the proper woman for him. His arms curled up to his sides and stomach once more and he slowly and gently tried to regain the feeling he did when he first saw her by flailing, that happened as if it didn't because of the way he acted due to his defeat. No.. She must have been a witch that put me under a genjutsu of some sort.. there's no way my.. my.. He slurred his words as he sobbed uncontrollably to himself, Mai waifu would'a done this to meee~.. The cart passed through the opened gate and disappeared into the haziness above Ao Quang. He could hear some kind of hollering ahead. He took off his mask and looked at the amount of water that fell to the ground that had pooled up and almost stopped him from breathing from his mouth anymore until he had done as such to help himself breathe. He took his possessions and hoped to find some way he could repair his child. He slipped Blam-Blam back on his finger and put the pearl and its pieces back in his rucksack, making sure he collected every piece of it. He looked ahead and shamefully made his way through the gates. His thing he wore swayed in the wind as he put back on his mask and looked ahead, collecting himself as if he too had been broken, just as his pearl had been.
