| - The sun slowly began to rise over the horizon. Setting it's very own mood to the day, standing out like a personality. The day was new, nothing had happened just yet. The colorful sky, clear of any nasty weather conditions illuminated down on the shinobi world. Birds flapped their wings, as they made their way through the sky. Looking to return home, or even find themselves a brand new home. They say "Don't live today like yesterday..." But was that really the case? How could one say such a thing, when the majority of humans believe the fact that history repeats itself. Morning was beautiful, and that was perfect for what was going to happen to today. History does indeed repeat itself, as a historical event from decades ago would be repeating itself yet again. This history would be in Konohagakure. The current Hokage stood out the balcony of his mansion. Placing his hand through his hair, his scratched it a little. "Man.. It seems finally I was able to reach out the that village." The Hokage stated, before finding his head pushed to the side by the presence of his trusty Hexagram K'un. "Well well, little Seigetsu, you sure are making progress." K'un states, before being interrupted by Seigetsu's abnormal silence. "Yeah, but still... Nothing about his whereabouts." Seigetsu was silent yet again, before speaking. "Very well then, the Raikage should be here any minute!" The sun shining was a welcome pace for the new Raikage. Considering it was monsoon season for the Land of Lightning, the village of Kumogakure saw very little of that. So seeing the sun for what seems like months was comforting. The Raikage in question was new to politics, having taken the reins after the previous Raikage stepped down under scrutiny, but showed to learn quickly in that field, pulling Kumogakure out of the brink of disaster in less than a month. The Raikage's name was Kiyasui Iro, a Storm Release specialist and ranked senior commander in the Kumogakure military before her honorable discharge. Approaching the gate, she gave the gate guard her summons, who in turn opened the gate for her. She had never stepped inside of Konohagakure before, in fact, she's never been in any other village other than Kumogakure. But she was going to have to learn to do this if she wants to begin creating political bonds with the other villages. Being the first female Raikage meant she had a lot more to prove, but she has proven her worth so far and hopes to continue doing so. Looking up at the village, she could notice its grandeur, how much it has changed over the years. From above, she could see the grand Hokage monument, showcasing the Hokage of the past within its rocky wall. She continued to make her way down the village until she noticed the Hokage residence. She looked up above to notice the Hokage overlooking the horizon and gave him a wave from below. "I believe she has made it, Seigetsu." K'un states taking on the firm of an avian resting assured on the shoulder of Seigetsu. "It's Hokage-sama!" Seigetsu yelled to the avian. K'un was unfazed simply answering with; "I've been with you before you knew how to dump. I think I have the right to call you whatever fits the occasion!" Seigetsu stood to his feet, as his assistant approached him with an item in his hand. That item was a hat, but not just any kind of hat. It was red, and along the sides was a side of see-through mesh material. Towards the center of it was a white triangular section, standing out from the rest of the red it was generally composed of. In the middle of the triangle was the symbol meaning fire. Clearly it was the Hokage's hat. Seigetsu stood to his feet, and reached for the hat, sitting back to his seat and placing it on his table. Signaling his assistant, Seigetsu spoke to him. "Tell him, he can go out the meet her now." His assistant dropped his head back, glueing his eyes to the ceiling. "Man, what a drag." The assistant stated in a matter of one asking for too much, or even him just being generally tired of completely different task. As the Raikage would continue her journey she would find herself intercepted by a unanimous man. "Hello Lady Raikage. I am here by orders of our Hokage to escort you to his quarters." He held his hand out in front of himself pointing his thumb up, with a large smile across his face. The man was about average height, but a bit on the slim side. He wore a green one piece suit, covered by a Konoha flak jacket over his top. His hair in a short bob style, looking great with his Konoha forehead protector. Topping his appearance off was his big goggle eyes, and very large eyebrows. He was: Rock Lee. "You must be Rock Lee. I have heard nothing but the grandest of legends about you. Lead the way." Tipping her Raikage hat to Lee, she followed closely behind him. "So is there any public news going on around the village lately? Would help me get a grasp of what's been going on, no doubt." She asked, looking around the grand building they walked through. She could see how much history decorated the mansion, the changes in architecture over time with some of the original architecture still remaining. The question the Raikage asked had seemingly stung Rock Lee, as he allowed an ominous silence to lift into the air. "Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is who killed Sasuke." Rock Lee continued his way through the mansion, doing as best he could to explain everything in the mansion. They finally made it to the final doors of the mansion, and Lee opened them for her to pass through them. If she peered through the door she could see the Hokage sitting at his desk, and could see a reclined chair empty with the kanji of lightning. Seigetsu assistant, Shikamaru Nara, signaled the Raikage to enter the room, and behind her Lee would follow. Seigetsu instantly stood to his feet. Making her way into the Hokage's quarters, she approached Seigetsu, resting her hat on the vacant chair. "It is an honor to be meeting the esteemed Hokage face to face. I do hope we can develop some ties with each other that would help us out in the future. In the meantime, perhaps we can discuss some things our respective villages have had to go through in the recent events. Rock Lee had told me some events regarding the death, and possible murder, of Sasuke Uchiha. Perhaps we can exchange some information on the subject in return for some news going on in the Land of Lightning?" Bowing towards Seigetsu, she took the Raikage hat from the chair and sat down, taking note of the comfortable material that consisted of the cushion. "Now, if you've been following the events around the Land of Lightning, you may no doubt know about a civil war had broken out within Kumogakure. We have had some reasons to believe the civil war was not sparked by one of our own. We believe it was a ruse to force the Raikage out of power and to try and reinstate someone else. It succeeded, half of it anyways. It did force the Raikage out of power, but I don't think I'm the one they were hoping to be taking the position."
