A New Challenger Appears !!!!

[Enatsu]

Yuuto and Junko walked throughout the busy streets of Konoha. The Medical Sennin would see a village in the process of rebuilding and gentrifying. Konoha's destruction was a blessing in disguise some felt. It breathed new life to the village and Yuuto was more than happy to be a part of it. Junko could tell this by the grin plastered on Yuuto's face as he strutted through the village waving and saying hello to most of the locals they saw. Usually whether they knew him or not they said hello back!

On the way back to Yuuto's complex the Sennin would stop his colleague.

"Wait right here", he would say going into a small shack titled Ichiraku Ramen. It was a famed spot in Konoha allegedlly being favored by a Hokage long ago when the founder was still alive.

This business had culture and finesse even for a simple ramen shack. It took about 5 minutes before Yuuto came back out holding six boxes, laughing with a hearty smile when he left the shop.

"They are great in there, even if they didn't have the best Ramen in town I'd still go to them weekly." The pair would continue down their path, with Junko seeing more of Yuuto's new life in Leaf. When the complex was in eye view Yuu would tap Junko's shoulders to get his attention.

"That's mine right there. We still have some reconstruction going on but we made small living quarters in my office wing." Like a kid seeing his favorite candy, Yuuto picked up his pace and jogged home hoping Junko would follow suit.

When they arrived Junko would view the stone crafted white gates, the stone walls of the buildings met by a navy blue finish. He'd see that someone had started painting the wall black in circlular motions to create a wave like pattern, on one of the buildings.

Yuuto would stop short taking out his keys before unlocking the gate. Junko would immediately feel a slight emanation of chakra around the gate and its stone fencing. If he cut his eyes down he'd see a weird contraption shooting out a thin line of chakra receiving into other ones like it.

"A proto-type for alerting us of trespassers. It's still in the rough- earlies but it will be useful for my work." Yuuto would usher his friend to hurry pointing at his boxes of food. They would stroll around the complex seeing Yuuto had snagged himself something large and spacious but for what?

They approached a wide building in the center with a tree sticking out of the roof. The leaves were vibrant and green. The bark was a shiny brown making the hide look new. However when they entered the building Junko would see the tree was starting to turn black? Even if he questioned it Yuuto wouldn't respond he'd simply ignore Junko and sgart screaming, enhancing his voice with chakra.

"Hoshi! Bring that ass here boi lunch is here!" He'd make his way through the foyer of this place and straight through some big double doors.

Junko would see a sparkling room lined with black marble tiling a lot of mirrors and a bar to the far left corner. He'd see a large stage at the back of this room but follow Yuuto up some stairs to a large spacious deck, that overlooked the bottom floor.

"Welcome to VIP of the Kokuren Junko. You are officially the second guest, [He'd raise his voice with chakra again] Because Mizu doesn't count Hoshi! [He'd lower it again] sorry, kids am I right? Anyways this is my nightclub, the Kokuren or also the Black Lotus. Take a seat my friend I bought everyone two servings of Ramen. I even had them slip their oldest grilled eel into his chicken bowl. I'm still getting to know him but we troll eachother, I'm currently trying to see what he likes and doesn't haha."

Yuuto placed down the six boxes which had the orders written on them. He'd place Junko and himself the regular Beef and Chicken bowls while he gave Hoshi a regular beef one and the chicken with grilled unagi in the middle.

Yuuto would take a seat now waiting for Hoshi to come before they started eating. However in the mean time he'd make small talk with Junko.

"So where do we begin Tsuyoshi Junko. I'm not sure where to start so much happened over this last month. Let's go with this, I'm currently in Leaf due to a trade of shinobi by the Hokage and Raikage. Me for one Odaka Kaji. I'm now the Anbu Sennin in Leaf and an aspiring business man. I picked up a troublemaker along the way. He should be here any minute."

 

[Tsuyoshi Junko]

Walking throughout the village, the people continuously spoke to Yuuto as he waved. In addition, they even gave Junko greetings also. Although things still looked rough and under construction, the people seemed quite joyful. Based off the feeling of the village, the hearts of the people made it beautiful, not the sceneries.

Children played and ran by, smiles seemed to be glued to everyone's faces, and everything just seemed to be a happy dream. The constant sounds of hammers thumped against nails, shouts of construction directions were quite often, and finally....... the smell of food grasped Junko's nose and smiled and said "I got your nose!" In that exact moment, Yuuto asked Junko to wait.

"Ichiraku Ramen..... what the heck is a Ramen? I know it smells good though." Junko thought as Yuuto entered the small shack of possible deliciousness. In no time at all, Yuuto was out the shack holding boxes of heaven.

"They are great in there, even if they didn't have the best Ramen in town I'd still go to them weekly."

"Ooohh, best ramen in town you say? Never had it before, but depending on the taste, I may have to get to know them very quickly. Maybe even take some stuff home." Junko said in response as he licked his lips. The two men continued and Junko continued to observe the village. It was definitely a place he'd have to bring his wife for their anniversary or vacation spot for the family. Especially once everything was constructed.

Listening to Yuuto as he pointed towards the complex, Junko nodded as he began following behind Yuuto with a slight jog of his own. "Pretty nice spot" Junko said as they approached the stone wall and white gate. Raising a brow and stopping a few steps behind Yuuto, Junko could feel a different chakra source near. Nothing strong, but it was feint. Feint enough for Junko to look around a little bit more. "What's this? Junko asked kneeling down at the knitted lines of chakra flowing from the contraption.

"A proto-type for alerting us of trespassers. It's still in the rough- earlies but it will be useful for my work."

"Oh that's interesting. My brother Aiko had a similar idea for kumogakures gate. Something like a chakra web that would catch some of an intruders chakras or set a marking on the individual as they passed through." Junko said looking up to Yuuto pointing at the boxes of heaven again.

Following Yuuto, Junko couldn't help but notice the size of the place. He hadn't seen his place back in kumogakure, but in leaf Yuuto was living like a prince. It definitely beats the jail cell he had to rot in until Junko got him out. It was nice to see that he was doing well for himself.

Going towards a wide building, Junko notice a beautiful tree. It was definitely an eye catcher. Especially when they passed the tree. It began to turn black, as if it was being burned by the two chakras that flowed through it. It was nothing Junko would question Yuuto about or deeply analyze. Besides, they had food to get to and he would meet this Hoshi fellow.

"Welcome to VIP of the Kokuren Junko. You are officially the second guest, [He'd raise his voice with chakra again] Because Mizu doesn't count Hoshi! [He'd lower it again] sorry, kids am I right? Anyways this is my nightclub, the Kokuren or also the Black Lotus. Take a seat my friend I bought everyone two servings of Ramen. I even had them slip their oldest grilled eel into his chicken bowl. I'm still getting to know him but we troll eachother, I'm currently trying to see what he likes and doesn't haha."

"Good to be welcomed. And yeah, kids are something else. I'm actually missing all my little ones now. Even Kiri is my son and responsibility now. Man, I'm a father to many due to the Tsuyoshi Estate Orphanage." Junko said taking a seat. "It's good that you two have a playful bond, it'll go along way." Junko said as Yuuto took a seat and passed his boxes to him.

"So where do we begin Tsuyoshi Junko. I'm not sure where to start so much happened over this last month. Let's go with this, I'm currently in Leaf due to a trade of shinobi by the Hokage and Raikage. Me for one Odaka Kaji. I'm now the Anbu Sennin in Leaf and an aspiring business man. I picked up a troublemaker along the way. He should be here any minute."


"Ah, I see. So they did continue the exchange program we set into place. I did the same when I was a medical chief, but this was the time Umashi was still in Stone. They deemed you ANBU sennin too though? Now that's interesting. I assume you were the most qualified and here to get leaf in order." Junko said with a slight pause before continuing. "I would've recommended you for Kumogakures ANBU sennin as well since Ayumu is taking on twice the load. Nevertheless, keep up the good work." Junko said as he heard foot steps approaching.

[Shouyu Hoshi]

Hoshi was already up and in he backyard where he and Yuuto would train normally. He was dressed in a karate training Gi, a faded matted black and white belt, for no reason of ranking, it was just white. He was before a dummy with extending arms from high to low that would rotate full circle when hit. Hoshi was already going at it if no one heard his palms and feet colliding with the wooden arms.

This dummy was responding a flurry, Hoshi couldn't even hit them all and had to resort to dodging some while striking others. His eyes weren't activated, he was beginning to truly understand chakra reservation in key fights. If Hoshi could only train his eyes to see what the Byakugan normally, in the sense of slowing down and anticipating fast movement attacks, he could truly be a threat. Yes, palm, jump, kick, lean, palm, palm, a step, the rotations continued as beads of sweat damn near made a puddle for the ground. The hot beaming sun with thirst would dry up the sweat almost immediately. Hoshi suddenly backflipped away.

He heard his name called and the sounds of lunch. The kid was was heaving breaths trying to compose himself. He wasn't done with training so he self ruled himself to jog doing high knees until he entered the household, dusting his feet off before he entered and bowing.

Hoshi walked up to the smell of that famed Ichiraku ramen with his head tilted back, eyes closed and nose following the steamy scent all the way there. Growing closer he heard a comment about Mizu, perplexing the young boy, he slowed down and heard two voices, he was now crouching walking up. The voice was.... familiar... very familiar. Hoshi was behind a piece of a furniture and peered over the top just slightly. His eyes widened at the sight.

"Junko Sensei!"

Junko would have been glomped, if not completely toppled and mounted by Hoshi. He'd rise flicking the side of his nose with a half smirk, eyes closed.

"A lot has changed since I've last seen you. I'm suppose to be a chuunin now, did you know that?! Heh, and I helped build this, "nightclub" yup."

Hoshi would take a seat and reach for the bag of ramen, that's when Mizu started yawning walking out from the kitchen, having already raided the fridge for some snacks. Who knew otters ninjas liked peanut butter and jelly sammiches so much? Mizu walked into view, one eye closed, the other half open still waking up. He took a bite of his sandwhich, teeth sinking in but he didn't remove his jaw after the smell and sight of ramen. First he grew excited, his eyes darted to the left and spotted Yuuto, he looked down at his sandwhich, cookie crumbs around his lips, salsa on his fingertips from his midnight snack, Mizu was wide eyed, finally taking the bite into his mouth and chewing awkwardly.

Mizu: "Is.... one of those... for me?"

 

[Tsuyoshi Junko]

"Junko Sensei!"

Immediately Junko's head turned in surprise as he was pounced on by none other than his newly adopted son, Hoshi. "My son!" Junko said embracing the hyuuga boy passionately with tightness. It was truly good to see him. The last time they cross paths, Junko was saving him from the school grounds and reading his charts at the hospital to ensure he was okay.

The boy was definitely well, strong, and was in good hands. Originally, he left him at the Tsuyoshi estate to have a proper home, care, and family. He had Karin(Junko's wife) to train him more in the ways of the hyuuga. Yoshi, who could serve as a ANBU mentor and older brother, and the twins. Now, the boy had already taken flight and began his own journey, much like Junko did when he was the boys age.

A lot has changed since I've last seen you. I'm suppose to be a chuunin now, did you know that?! Heh, and I helped build this, "nightclub" yup."

Placing a hand on Hoshi's head and giving Hoshi a smirk before he sat, Junko leaned back in his chair. "Man, I'm glad to see one of my son's are doing quite well. I'm proud of you. Keep on the track you're on and you'll be a splendid ninja. Maybe even go toe to toe with me one day." Junko said smirking, but it soon faded to a more grim look. "Kiri on the other hand, is still coming along. Seeing the boy struggle like I did with growing up with no parents and the responsibility of a demon.... I took him in just like I took you in Hoshi." Junko said with a pause before continuing. "he has a lot to bear and his mindset is still only a childs that make foolish decisions. Taking him under my wing seemed like the best bet. Now, I've lost track of the boy. A snow storm split us up, I have the only map, and for the safety of the hidden villages, I have his passport. So, he can't enter any village and cause any problems like going berserk inside a village. Junko said shaking his head.

The trail stopped at leaf and they were still waiting on an update or something. "Yuuto, thanks for watching over Hoshi. How did you meet the troublemaker? Taught him how to control his demon in his stomach too?" Junko asked picking at how much the boy could eat and how Yuuto taught Kiri as well. Pulling his box closer, Junko happened to look to the side and seen a peculiar otter cat thingamajig that could talk. "Interesting animal. Part of a contract perhaps?"

 

[Enatsu]

Hoshi came from around the corner jumping onto Junko while his equally annoying summon came out eating a sandwich. The Sennin would shoot a gust of wind at Mizu. "If you're going to stay away from the land of your Contract Overlord for so long you're going to pay rent, and put in for the groceries, skidaddle." His eyes were full of murderous intent, he was deadass about his food.

He realized that Junko and Hoshi were having a "moment" while the student referred to the man as sensei, Junko referred to him as son. He would also claim Kiri was his foster son as well. Then Junko started talking about Kiri. He tried to appeal about Kiri's good intentions to which Yuuto would scoff at. That kid was far from innocent in his decision making, he didn't think and constantly pulled out his demon teetering the line of sanity and berserk. It was a constant battle, but Kiri still made no improvements on his control.

"I met Kiri when he was supposed to be with you going to Wind Country, I guess he didn't tell you nor was near you. We fought in a ravine so he could unleash his power. In fact he refrained from using it until I forced him to. Once he did use it I was able to make an assessment of his beast, then I focused on training him to communicate with his inner beast that happens to be hos Brothers soul. He seemed like he was getting the hang of controlling the transformations. However then you tell me that you were in a snowstorm with Kiri that caused your separation. You also kept his passport so he couldn't enter any villages or cause trouble and yet you lost him in some snow? Maybe you need a Byakugan instead of a Rinnengan." Yuuto said this with no malice simply a suggestion to his former boss's carelessness. He would stand up and walk to his office while Junko and Hoshi could only guess what he was doing.

They would smell a strong fruit smell mixed with something else. Yuuto came back with a lit cigar in his mouth and his jacket/shirt off. The Anbu Sennin also had a folder in his hand and sat down.

"Sit and eat please, it may get cold." Yuuto wouldn't touch his food he was smoking and reading the contents of the report. Once the other two started eating he would speak up

"You have three options: Option 1 go back and leave, Option 2 fight here and prove your truth or you may die, Option 3 speak to our ambassador from your village and get this sorted out.... this report is a little out of order but details a list of options. Which one do you think your dear Kiri chose."

Yuuto gave pause allowing Junko and Hoshi to mull over his words about the demon willed son. "Yes Kiri is in Konoha, No you may not know his status, No you may not see him until I have what I need and know you will enter this with a calm head. Because any more shit from people who jump the gun and make decisions without thinking of the others their decisions will affect will be politely escorted to the gates by me. Understood?" Yuuto puffed on his cigar, while being very calm but cold. It was as if Kiri was simply a stranger to him when he finished speaking. He had to detach himself and judge this fairly.

"Now Kiri chose to fight and Immediately summoned the power of his inner demon, his brother's soul, and of course throughout his battle he lost control a few times and rampaged. My Anbu Captain was his opponent and was able to make Kiri see the error of his choice and give up. From there I interrogated Kiri, and to be upfront his story made no sense. Not once did Kiri decide to turn back, not once did Kiri send a message, Kiri didn't think it would be good to wait for Junko, get me, ask for courier service, ask for a map, no Kiri's mind was on proving himself to which Im still not sure how fighting would prove your identity." Yuuto leaned back and folded his arms. He ashed his blunt next before speaking up.

"A foreign Shinobi comes without identification, goes against every chance to speak to someone who could clear it up, but chooses to fight unleashes their inner demon and loses control consistently. Then they are not forthcoming in their story and show more consistency with sneaking here than actually going back home. So what do you think should be done."

 

[Shouyu Hoshi]

Hoshi was embraced by Junko, his hand upon Hoshi's head as he smirked. The last time he seen him, it was a grim sight. But all of that was behind them and the moment now is what mattered. Junko praised the boy on his growth and recovery, and even gave him words of inspiration that sparked a flame on the young boy's heart. But then Junko's smirk faded suddenly, the topic switched to Kiri and he seemed distressed about it. Hoshi meanwhile Junko was talking was scarfing down his ramen bowl. The other shared with Mizu who recovered from Yuuto's gust. Luckily Mizu only liked the broth so as Hoshi finished his first bowl, he'd pass it to Mizu who sat crossed legged leaning his head back downing the bowl. Hoshi started the next ramen bowl, clapping his chopsticks.

A fat wad of noodles and veggies were grasped within the twin sticks and Shouyu was about chow down upon hearing that Junko lost Kiri. He dropped the noodles back in the broth and stared down at the bowl. He finally ate the chunk of noodles slowly, he was in thought, about Kiri. He hasn't seen him since, and he heard he was last incarcerated within Kumogakure. Where could Kiri be? Junko asked Yuuto some things about Kiri before he scoffed. It sounded like some grown up stuff the boy couldn't fully understand. Then lastly Junko addressed Mizu who nodded, but didn't answer since Yuuto so rudely aired his dirty laundry. Mizu sighed.

"Don't worry Mizu, we will both work and chip in. Plus, who's gonna be my training partner when Yuuto is away?"

Mizu: "Yeah, cool. Uhm, Kiri, that's the kid you're always talking about right?

The two leaned over to each other whispering behind hands which probably was easily heard by the elders. Yuuto then began talking about Kiri, Hoshi paused his conversation with Mizu and looked at Yuuto quickly. Yuuto briefly described his interaction with Kiri in a ravine. Hoshi looked at him with a brow risen. Yuuto finished with berating Junko on his doujutsu and Hoshi looked his way and back to Yuuto, who left upstairs. Hoshi then looked to his bowl confused, shaking his head he went back to devouring his ramen bowl, staring at it with blank eyes.

A familiar scent filled the air and Hoshi knew but at the moment didn't react. Yuuto came back with another rerolled cigar between his lips and a folder. Hoshi already finished his second bowl when Yuuto brought up eating. He then started with a list of options and Hoshi tilted his head at him, like a dog would when confused. His last statement, was Kiri's decision. Hoshi stood up to one knee, one palm on the floor and fist clenched. Why would Yuuto be saying this, his next statement answered a series of questions that ran through the boy's mind and he stood up looking at Yuuto. He was breathing fast and heavily.

Everything he heard about Kiri until this point sounded as if Kiri was in grave danger and making foolish decisions. Yuuto was the new Anbu sennin, which means yes, Yuuto even explained Kiri duked it out with an Anbu captain releasing his demon, and again supposedly faltering at the control of its power. Hoshi cringed and hung his head. Mizu saw this and began to back away, far far away, back to Hoshi's room where he would poof back to his home realm. Hoshi had a fist clenched tightly. Yuuto ended with a question that Shouyu had no answer to. He just stood there, head down, fists clenched and trembling. Tears were sliding down his face, for if he was the anbu captain defending his gates and didn't know Kiri... His personal objective would be to kill the opposition. But he couldn't give that answer, even though by the rules, it seemed like what any other anbu would do. He was grateful Kiri was spared, but the burden of this conversation was a bit too much for the boy.

"W-what are you going to do... to Kiri?..."

His voice was stale, cold hearted and monotone. His fists were still trembling, the kid was going through a flurry of emotions. He knew these emotions as an anbu operative would only hinder his progression. It seemed the deeper he delved into this corporation the colder his heart had to become, and the more he had to detach himself of any benefit of the doubt. He just wanted to see Kiri once more, for he truly felt he had something to prove in battle.

 

[Tsuyoshi Junko]

Opening the box and grabbing the chop sticks, Junko began attending to his precious ramen. With each slurp, his taste buds began to dance. The flavor danced and exploded creating an astonishing taste that that would be remembered for the rest of his life. Instead of Yuuto eating, he continued on the subject of Kiri. Perhaps he was confused, as Junko was asking for the story of Hoshi and Yuuto. It was okay though, Junko didn't care and was busy attending to his food.

"I met Kiri when he was suppose to be with you going to Wind Country, I guess he didn't tell you nor was near you. We fought in a ravine so he could unleash his power. In fact he refrained from using it until I forced him to. Once he did use it I was able to make an assessment of his beast, then I focused on training him to communicate with his inner beast that happens to be hos Brothers soul. He seemed like he was getting the hang of controlling the transformations. However then you tell me that you were in a snowstorm with Kiri that caused your separation. You also kept his passport so he couldn't enter any villages or cause trouble and yet you lost him in some snow? Maybe you need a Byakugan instead of a Rinnengan."

Listening to Yuuto though, it began to dull the taste in Junko's mouth. The tone of things were obviously becoming more serious, causing Junko's eyes to lower to his normal full expression even as he ate. "Im not one for excuses. Shit happens. It's what you do after the shit happens that count. Similar to yourself...... Which brings me to leaf." Junko said before continuing to his ramen as Yuuto went to get a sweet smelling cigar and a folder.

"You have three options: Option 1 go back and leave, Option 2 fight here and prove your truth or you may die, Option 3 speak to our ambassador from your village and get this sorted out.... this report is a little out of order but details a list of options. Which one do you think your dear Kiri chose."

Lifting up the bowl to get all the juices, Junko slurped quite loud before placing down the first of two bowls. "Ahhhhh. By your tone, he must've chose the stupidest one on there." Junko said with a brief pause. "Fight." Junko said looking at Yuuto as he licked his lips.

"Yes Kiri is in Konoha, No you may not know his status, No you may not see him until I have what I need and know you will enter this with a calm head. Because any more shit from people who jump the gun and make decisions without thinking of the others their decisions will affect will be politely escorted to the gates by me. Understood?"

"Wipe your third eye, you mistake me for a child my good friend." Junko said knowing the man was doing his job, but he was speaking to a fellow sennin, not a kid that would throw temper tantrums. "You're the coldest in the room and I thought I was chill. " Junko said looking Yuuto in the eyes. It was no need for the coldness. Just like Yuuto, Junko was an elite, a Master, and a jack of all trades that was from kumogakure.

Continuing, Yuuto gave Junko the run down. Kiri was at the gates and out of all of the things he could do........ he fought. Knowing....damn well he couldn't control himself. He was easily beaten and now apprehended. He was nineteen, a kid wanting to prove himself, and had a long way to go. Kiri had to take responsibility for his actions just like Junko had to take responsibility for losing the boy.

"A foreign Shinobi comes without identification, goes against every chance to speak to someone who could clear it up, but chooses to fight unleashes their inner demon and loses control consistently. Then they are not forthcoming in their story and show more consistency with sneaking here than actually going back home. So what do you think should be done."

Leaning back in his chair in his chair, Junko crossed his arms as well and closed his eyes. "In normal circumstances, the boy would be killed." Junko said slowly opening his eyes. "Hell, he would've been killed by me in Kumogakure for what he did to Hoshi." Junko said keeping his eye contact. "But this isn't a normal circumstance due to the treaty. The last thing wanted would be for blood to be spilled. So, I'm sure Kiri is alive and probably in a dark non-comfy holding area." Junko said shaking his head.

"Me and Umashi has been in close collaboration for quite some time and that work is part of the reason you're here today. Let's look at this then, even if I teach Kiri to control the demon, theirs always a chance he can go berserk. If he's killed, that makes things very touchy." Junko said pulling out his cigarette pack and grabbing an herbal cig.

"So.....his kinjutsu shall be removed. By me. Like I said, it's what you do after shit happens that count." Junko said motioning for Yuuto to give him a light before placing a hand on Hoshis head and giving him a smirk.

[snap shot jutsu activated]

 

[Enatsu]

Junko was obviously taking offense, that was natural considering Yuuto's metered statements. However that didn't do much more than make Yuuto chuckle. He wiped his third eye and responded, "You have the game twisted, it's not about if you're a child, my equal, or even the Raikage. The point is, I have to be fair in my judgement. However that does not mean I trample over Konoha to cut your pupil special privelaged considering his previous incidents I would say there is a pattern of Kiri losing control still and not being responsible. Would it not be in poor taste to analyze the facts? There are things you do not know, but you are his father, and Hoshi there can barely control his emotions. It's understandable, but you must understand my position and my job."

He simply stared at them both, hoping they would really understand that Yuuto is doing his duty. Truthfully he was in the middle of something he didn't wanna be in, what he wanted was this to end.

Yuuto allowed Junko to make his statement but had to respond to his comment. "Unfortunately, the treaty isn'ta reason to give Kiri more passes than needed. The single reason he didn't die at the Gates was because my Anbu Captain was able to appeal to his senses. However the interrogation turned into a different matter." Yuuto went back to being quiet, more or less mumbling the last sentence

Junko just said he would remove the Kinjutsu. Yuuto only looked on, curious to how he thought that was possible. "That's an option I suppose. Do you think that is what Kiri wants? Of all things in this world, I believe Kiri treasures this power more than life sometimes. The source of his power, is the soul of his brother. I imagine they are so intertwined that taking out the brothers soul would damage Kiri at this level. When I had the Sharingan, I observed Kiri's chakra and saw the shadow element that bears over Kiri's entire being." Yuuto went back to silence for a moment, he stood up puffing his Cigar while walking to a some stairs that led back to the main floor. "What if Kiri wants to die?" He spoke up once more to remind him of another possible side to this issue. "I am keeping Kiri on watch at the hospital, he's been there since yesterday. Word should be or is in the process of being sent to the Raikage, we are awaiting his verdict on the matter."

Yuuto would proceed to to the main floor of the club snspping his fingers like he forgot something, "Hol' up" he would say and then walked behind the stage. He rummaged through some chests back there for a bit, grabbing a black and white striped jacket, and had a crisp 17:5 T-Shirt. Yuuto still had his cigar, (damn son what is that a slow burner)

"Alright, I'm good now. Lets go see tour son, oh Hoshi you may come as well. Just please don't do anything rash. Listen twice before you speak. Yuuto wasn't heartless, he was just serious and had to be considering the village's security was resting on his shoulders too. He needed to ensure that they wouldn't do anything crazy like busy Kiri out.

[Tsuyoshi Junko]

Listening to Yuuto, Junko understood. "Just doing your job, I understand. Which is why, I'm calm." Junko said with a nod as Yuuto continued mentioning Kiri receiving a slap on the wrist and how things changed during the interrogation.

Junko could only imagine how Kiri likely carried on with non sense like the child he was. It was the same thing he did back at home causing Junko to walk out in annoyance at Kiri's weakness. "I agree. A free pass isn't my intentions." Junko said in truth. Something had to be done and what Junko had in mind, was a way to truly handle the situation.

"That's an option I suppose. Do you think that is what Kiri wants? Of all things in this world, I believe Kiri treasures this power more than life sometimes. The source of his power, is the soul of his brother. I imagine they are so intertwined that taking out the brothers soul would damage Kiri at this level. When I had the Sharingan, I observed Kiri's chakra and saw the shadow element that bears over Kiri's entire being."

"Kiri is only a child. What he wants may not always be the best. As you can see, he's not good with making decisions. As far as the procedure and risks. Let me worry about that one. That would be me, doing my job." Junko said before opening his second box of ramen.

Beginning to chow as Yuuto got up and began walking around, Junko tried to enjoy his food before things got cold. One thing was for sure, Junko definitely would be taking some home.

"I am keeping Kiri on watch at the hospital, he's been there since yesterday. Word should be or is in the process of being sent to the Raikage, we are awaiting his verdict on the matter."

Slurping the final juices out the bowl, Junko sat his bowl down and licked his lips. "Whew, boy, that's how you eat! He put his heart in that food." Junko said before standing and beginning to follow Yuuto as they were about to head out.

[Topic Left]

 

[Shouyu Hoshi]

Kiri might... die... Or be sent back to Kumogakure. Junko even offered to extract Kiri's jinchuuriki. His fist continued to tremble. As a Shinobi, were they all so expendable? That you could just off one and have another fill his ninja sandals. If Hoshi were to make a mistake, would they be so quick to pass judgement? Although, Kiri did have a history of bad decision making and lack of control. He hung his head once more just listening to the two back and forth.
