They knew that they were being attacked, no doubt by a similar force that attacked Konoha. [COLOR=f1bb86]“Shun.”[/color] She started, but the foxes were already snarling. The size of a hunting hound each of them were thirsty for blood. Ichi made her way to the top of the Kazekage mansion as everyone began evacuating. She did not take her time, but she did not run. This kind of attack did not read wanton destruction or chaos. And while she had spent quite a bit of time and money remodeling the infrastructure of Sunagakure, it left her without a Jonin for aid. Luckily, she had her friends. Tokuina and his cubs would know what to do without her being there. Thus, it was her and Shun, a pack. They reached the roof of the mansion and Ishi alongside Ichi, Ni, and San. She gazed out upon the destruction and made a few handseals, rather quickly. [COLOR=f1bb86][h3]“Sabaku no Yūdai,”[/h3][/color] Ishi whispered, as if casting a prayer to a god. But that’s exactly what she was. As she said the words and performed the three handseals, citizens would notice the entire environment shift. All of the buildings would have domes of sand created around them as a massive pool of water formed in the center of the village, pooling out from the Oasis that was usually at the center. The clouds overhead bunched together and begun to storm down on the rest of the area, lightning cracked and the gods themselves reached out so that the attackers knew they were unwelcome. With her job done and as many of the civilians lives as she could protect safe, Ishi jumped down onto the center of the pond. Approximately 30m in radius it was fairly massive and even pretty deep, around 10 feet of water had come seemingly out of nowhere. [i]“Ishi,”[/i] Ni started. [i]“You won’t be able to use that technique for 24 hours!”[/i] He said in a hushed voice, looking at her concerned. [COLOR=f1bb86]“That is correct little one.”[/color] She said patting his head dutifully. [COLOR=f1bb86]“I’m afraid those here will not require much effort to ease into an early grave.”[/color] She said with a warm, motherly smile. [COLOR=f1bb86]“Come out you foolish cowards.”[/color] She commanded, her voice booming across the now nearly empty and silent village streets.

By the time they made it anywhere near the village they were met with a force that seemed pretty friendly. Cool! [i]”Normally we would ask you to leave. But the lady Yogensha herself has decided to open her arms to you and wishes us to escort you to our village. If you decline, we're afraid we have to ask you to return to the border and travel around it.” [/i] Kareha nodded along with what they were saying. It seemed like they had their ducks balanced. Or whatever. But Havoc was shaking slightly. At first she thought it could’ve been pre-show jitters. But it seemed more akin to anger. From his back Kareha covered his eyes and bopped him on the head with her chin. [color=577dbf]“Focus you big oaf.”[/color] She said kicking her heels into his side like he was a horse. [color=577dbf]“Eyes on the prize.”[/color]   [center][COLOR=f4a3d3][sup][b][img]https://i.imgur.com/3X9tT8m.png[/img] Amegakure no Sato | B-rank | Assistant of Amekage[/b][/sup][/COLOR][/center][hr][INDENT][sup][COLOR=f4a3d3][b]TIME:[/b] [i]Present Day - Morning[/i] | [b]LOCATION:[/b] [i]All over Time and Space man[/i] | [b]INTERACTION:[/b] Functionally everyone [/color][/sup][/INDENT] Sayuri panted as the invasion came to a close. She was instructed by Yogensha to stay behind in the village until the funeral, as a show of good will to a village whom had just lost an important figure. Over the coming days Sayuri would put in the work the village needed, repairing infrastructure and helping where it was needed. By the time the funeral rolled around she was able to see Yogensha again. They exchanged more than just pleasantries, Sayuri reporting anything she thought was attempting to remain innocuous. She had been training her chakra control in order to become more talented at concealing her Byakugan. She reported everything to Yogensha who was only looking worse for wear. The elder woman simply patted Sayuri on the back and informed her that if anyone should worry it was her. She instructed Sayuri to go out that night, she’d have an incredibly busy schedule once they began to head back to Amegakure. So Sayuri went to a small bar after the funeral, she was given clearance to drink to her heart’s content and her neighbour seemed to have a similar plan of action. Sayuri was somewhat dazed by the point of actually being able to comprehend what the girl was saying, she was phasing in and out from her actual words. "[color=f26522]... And the fucka's like 'Is tha' all y'all jounin got?' when we were kickin' his scaley ass?![/color]" “[COLOR=f4a3d3] Oh fug da shi.[/color]” "[color=f26522]Fruity fucks be all tryin' to get the attention. Freakin' dicks, pussies 'n' asshole, that's the only type o' people yer gonna find in this dumb hole of a shinobi world. Did I tell ya' 'bout why it's like that?[/color]" “[COLOR=f4a3d3]N-nah you ain’t said a single… Noise.[/color]” "[color=f26522]Ehhh, maybe later.[/color]" “[COLOR=f4a3d3]Ahh ya that’s how it is.[/color]” "[color=f26522]So where ya' from again? That Rain village or somethin'?[/color]" “[COLOR=f4a3d3]Hmmmmmmmm? Little ol’ me? Awwww yeah you know that I’m always where it’s *hic* wettest.[/color]” The next day Sayuri found herself being force fed an army ration pill and being told to march. Her head hurt like a bitch. [hr] The Kage Summit was a strange time for Sayuri. She was sent as a representative of Amegakure and Yogensha herself and as such was told to be on the highest level of alert possible. Her new technique for funneling small amounts of chakra to her eyes to keep them active ended up paying off fairly well, she was able to keep a distinct eye out and went ahead with a unanimous agreement to keep Ocha locked up. The Mizukage’s people and he himself had apparently orchestrated the attack on Konoha. While Sayuri wasn’t incredibly sure what the validity of that was, she did know that keeping her mouth shut from here on out was most likely the best decision she could make. She was happy to see Amegakure heading towards a global seat of power, especially with Kirigakure in the proverbial shitter. [hr] While Yogensha was telling her men to greet the intruder’s to their village Sayuri stood on Yogensha’ right, with Kaito on her left. They awaited to enemies to be welcomed in their gate, once more Sayuri slowly and methodically watching their progress all the while hiding the presence of her Byakugan to any who should be looking with the eyes of man.
