SHIELD was new organization. A creation that Kazuki had engineered after many sleepless nights. Leaf's fall could be partially blamed on him. As Konoha's ANBU Sennin, it was the Overlord's task to oversee and contain any and all internal and external threats to his Village. But the Silvery Haired Man had failed in all regards, especially when it was critical. Leaf was under Samurai control, the Fire Country's shinobi either dead or scattered and there was nothing to do about it. Revenge was all that was left for him. But new light had been shed upon the White Wolf. The Sand Village and its ninja had welcomed the former ANBU Sennin, plus his kin, with open arms. Embraced as a brother, the Dread Lord was ready to rise from the ashes and lead his kin into a new golden age. He was going to secure Sand's safety through this new organization he was going to create. Sousuke's help through this endeavor would be pivotal and luckily he was on board. Once everything was running smoothly, Reaper would turn his attention back to Konohagakure and would reclaim his ancestral home from his bitter adversary. But things were not that easy. The Senju Clan had garnered many enemies over the years, but none as bitter as the one they called the Phoenix Force.
Throughout the ages, Phoenix and Senju had faced each other. Each encounter detailed in one of the most important scrolls the clan had. This particular scroll was the only one Kazuki had under his possession when he was forced to leave Leaf. Lady Luck had favored him that day as the Phoenix Force was returning once more. The Overlord was in the Kazekage's home when he suffered a psychic attack. The message was clear. The Phoenix was coming and Death and Destruction would soon follow. It was up to the Senju Clan to rise again and defend their world, but this time, they were not alone. The Purple Haired Man, also known as Takahashi Sousuke had promised to help. He saw how dangerous this foe was, how powerful it was for a single clan to fight it off. Only united they would survive and so the White Wolf pitched his SHIELD idea to the Kazekage.
The first point of order was to acquire more knowledge about the Phoenix. Leaf's extensive library was out of their reach, if it wasn't entirely destroyed. Stone, Sand and Cloud were the only other places where repositories of information could be found. Kumo's gates were closed to outsiders so it was unlikely the Silvery Haired Man would be allowed passage. Stone was under great turmoil and it was even more unlikely they would grant access to a complete stranger. Sunagakure was their last and only resort and even this Village was not entirely safe or stable. Recent attacks had left Sand on its knees. Destruction was visible everywhere, but reconstruction efforts were already underway. Reaper had been directed toward this Scroll Locker was it was known. Inside he hoped to find whatever information Sand possessed about that cosmic entity whose only goal was kill humanity.
"I need to speak with the Librarian." the former ANBU Sennin calmly stated to no one in particular. He was hoping someone would answer his call.
