I'm still God.
Bio
If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires;
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart. His passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse.
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.

You'd need a pretty believable reason for them to be famous, especially since they're not canon. Check the character tab, I have a Minamoru clan sheet there that you can use to describe the clan, that way you can say how they are famous.
Either that or you can just describe it in the history, but that'd be pretty hard to do in a summarizing manner.

The cloaked figure dashed from roof to roof, noticing a figure slightly ahead of herself on the roofs too. It seemed a young chunin, judging from his flak jacket, was attempting to help the Hokage. How futile. If the mask wasn't blocking her face, you'd have been able to see the serious expression that was on her face, regardless of the fact that these attempts at stopping her were futile and frankly, quite humorous. She noticed something on her left at the same time, as well as something at her back, a new squad of ANBU having caught up to her after she escaped their former escape, while an attack was launched by a chunin behind her. She simply ducked underneath the hail of kunai, as well as the arrows shot at her, before she body flickered away again. It was relatively easy to avoid these ANBU. They were skilled in what they did but that didn't quite measure up against a specialized shinobi. The attack launched by the chunin was easy enough to avoid, but atleast it was a bit more skilled compared to the ANBU. It was a bit too flashy to actually act like a stealthy attack, however.
However this time she didn't flicker out of sight, simply appearing right behind Shouken as he trailed behind the Hokage. With a single jump she jumped above him, and past him, landing about ten meters in front of him. One of her hands went into her pouch and pulled out a set of five kunai with explosive tags attached. Twisting her body backwards she simply threw them back, into the ground in front of Shouken. She didn't offer him much time to react, immediately forming the tiger seal. Within an instant the explosive tags exploded, caving in the building below and sending bricks and roof tilings all over the place. The accuracy of her throwing skills was quite amazing, as she threw them in a perfect straight line in front of shouken, horizontally so that his escape towards the Hokage was cut off. At the same time, the maximum damage was cut back, and there was no way Shouken would experience lasting damage from this attack given the distance between him and the tags.
She didn't pay much more mind to Shouken after that. She only wanted to deter him from following, or atleast give him something to think about. Her path continued alongside the street that the hokage was following, and although the attack on Shouken had given the Hokage a little time to gather more distance, it was soon made up for. And he was beginning to reach a dead end. His plan had failed.
Zeno noticed this too, as the explosion right behind him was rather hard to miss. He kept running however, and slowly felt atleast some of his powers returning to him. It was pretty obvious that the entire village was gearing up to come to his aid, too. He just.. needed a bit more time. Behind him he could already hear the orders of jonin being shouted, as well as larger amounts of shinobi moving around. It was clear they were coming, but the question was whether they'd be on time.
In front of Zeno the mountain doomed up, and he found himself cornered now. As soon as he reached the mountain he turned around for that reason. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and readied himself. Meanwhile the cloaked figure noticed he'd stopped, and thus slowed down her pace. No need to keep up with him, and it was unlikely the ANBU would try to engage her again since it'd become clear that it was pretty useless to do so. Finally, she arrived at the small opening in housing at the foot of the mountain. With a light tap she landed on the ground, looking at the hokage and placing one foot in front of the other, ready to take off if the need for it arrived. “You will never take me down! The Will of Fire burns within me.. and the rest of my village!” the Hokage blurted out, whilst placing one hand at his back and reaching for a weapon of sorts. “And even when I am weakened by whatever you put in my body.. I will take you down! So tell me, what is your name, so we can fight as equals!” He didn't receive an answer in any way and only received a cold look as the woman stood perfectly still.
“Hmph. If you're not gonna answer my questions, answer my steel!” the Hokage said, pulling out a set of ten shuriken, throwing them at the cloaked figure. Rather than dodge, like she'd done before, she formed several handseals, seemingly not even in time to pull off the jutsu she wanted to use. The shuriken seemed to strike her and for a moment it looked like it did, as blood seeped out through her cloak. But right when the Hokage got a small smile on his face, the figure dissapeared in a cloud of smoke. After the smoke cleared a log was revealed. “Doushita?! Kawarimi no jutsu? Too basic for me.. And that means..” The Hokage suddenly dropped onto one knee whilst forming handseals, and as soon as he was done he punched his hands into the ground. Dirt and rocks started flowing onto his skin, before finally enclosing his fists with rock as solid as steel. “That means you are above me.. Take this!” It was only now that he looked up, raising himself up on his feet again and raising his fists to counter the attack he thought was coming from above.
It seemed he was right, as the cloaked figure descended upon him, spinning her body at the last moment for a spinning dropkick. The kick connected with the rock fists, producing a cracking sound as the kick broke off minor parts of the rock. But the rock held fast, never breaking, meaning Zeno could simply lift his fists even more and throw back the lady. As soon as he did that, however, a poof of smoke appeared and the woman dissapeared. “A clone?” he said to himself as his eyes wandered around, looking for any indication of the target. By now many of the ANBU and shinobi were getting closer, and if they arrived it'd be certain that the force amassed at the location would be too big for anyone to take on. The silence that followed the attack was deafening, however, as nothing seemed to happen for seconds on end. Finally, footsteps came from behind the Hokage, at a high speed. The robed figure had seemingly appeared from nowhere and was now rushing at the Hokage holding the tiger seal. Without seemingly anything happening to the Hokage, he keeled over, grabbing his stomach as something seemed to have happened when the robed figure used the tiger seal. But it wasn't clear what exactly had happened. This was the perfect opening for the robed figure and it would be hard to dodge for the Hokage if nobody interfered. Likely, given the fact that the chunins had not stayed behind too long to deal with the aftermath of the chaos in the plaza, they'd arrive on site together. And likely.. that would lead to all of them attacking her at once, creating a clusterfuck of attacks on the figure. She'd have to make sure to finish this in time.
Yamato Minamoru, “Young Master”
“Watashi wa Kami, I am God.”
Yamato only gave Daiki an annoyed look, before answering him with an equally annoyed answer. “Just like you, all bark, no bite.” he said, as the medical nin approached. He didn't greet her, or even give her any orders, he simply took off with Daiki, expecting her to follow. They both outranked her and as such, she'd just have to listen to orders. As long as nobody superior came along, such as an ANBU shinobi. Yamato grinned to himself as he thought about it. The ANBU is likely much too busy getting their faces kicked in to worry about medical nin at the moment.
As they jumped from roof to roof, at a blinding speed given the fact that this was a high alert situation, and also because of the adrenaline, Yamato and company managed to quickly catch up to Aoi's little squadron. Yamato shot them a short glance as they trailed alongside them on the other side of the street, noticing as he looked at them that Akio was launching attacks. “Baka!” he cursed, not loud enough for it to be heard on the other side. “Daiki, we need to stay ready. We can't tell if she's simply after the Hokage and only the Hokage, or if she's willing to kill us too. If Akio keeps going like this, this person that's attacking the Hokage might change their minds and go after us instead. We need to wait for an opening instead of attacking recklessly.. we don't even know what this person is capable of. Baka..” he said again, visibly annoyed with Akio's decision.
Yamato glanced behind him at the medical nin, who didn't look to be all that useful. “Stay behind the frontlines, you're the only medical nin on site at the moment so you need to stay alive. If you risk your life, it won't be that person ending it, it'll be me. Understood? Don't go close until we tell you to.” The words were rather harsh, but it was relatively calm even for Yamato. It seemed like Yamato too was a bit on edge, perhaps even excited to see what was going on. Looking around again he noticed that other teams were also converging on the position. It almost looked like the tales of old when Konoha was under attack and the people were now rushing to defend valuable positions. This gave Yamato a strengthened feeling. His expression changed from serious and angry, to an angry expression that also shone out bravery. He seemed determined, and despite his lack of respect for the Hokage, he'd do anything to take down this robed figure. They were still slightly behind Aoi's squad, given that they had a headstart on Yamato and the rest. “Slow down. We need to see what's going on before we can make any calls.” Yamato grumbled to the rest, as he slowed down somewhat and finally stopped at the edge of the buildings. It was only then that he saw what the others probably also saw at the same time. The figure had appeared from nowhere and was now rushing towards the Hokage, forming a seal and sending the Hokage down without even touching him. “DAIKI!” Yamato yelled, alerting Daiki that Yamato was moving in. If anything, Daiki would do the same, as well as the other teams.
Without thinking of what could happen if this went wrong, Yamato charged in, brave as always. In his head he rehearsed to himself. No fear. No pain. Just death. Kill or be killed. Remain as we are. In his mind he was fully prepared to use his suicidal self destruction technique to take this person down if it came down to it. As he rushed down to the ground in his mad dash, he formed the several seals before flicking back his wrists and engulfing them in flames. His feet touched the ground and in an instance he was already rushing towards the cloaked figure. “HRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” His battlecry sounded through the area, an indicator that a battle for the ages was about to commence.
Reihana Minamoru, “Little Master”
“For the Minamoru, everything.”
Rei stood by the group, until Aoi said something about her gameboy. Rei covered her mouth and giggled, not because of what the clown girl said, but because she was about 3 generations of handheld devices behind the rest of the world. “Aoi-sama, you know that the Naruboy is already out right?” she said, still a bit gigglish as she said so. As Akio also answered her she smiled at her and bowed her head slightly. “Thank you Akio-sama.. admirer? What are you ta-HAAAAAAAA!” she suddenly yelled out as she felt a strangers' hand on her eyes. Without listening to the words this stranger, that was actually Giichi, spoke, she grabbed the hands and bent her body forwards, causing a leverage effect to occur as she swung Giichi over her body into the ground. “Let go of me you pervert!!” she yelled with her eyes closed and her face red in anger. Without looking she pulled her arm back and then sent it forwards, stomping Giichi in the face.
As she opened her eyes again to take a look at the damage she'd done, she realized now that it wasn't a stranger who was being pervy, it was actually Giichi-kun. She immediately started apologizing, since when it came to Giichi she could handle fun 'jokes' like that. Her face was still red, but this time more because of emberassment. Rei extended her arm now and helped Giichi get back up, before her face turned back to normal. Her white hair waved slightly in the breeze as she grabbed her arm with her other hand, looking at the ground because of the comment Akio made. “Y-yes, you're right. He is very protective of me, and of the entire family. It's the reason that he and Daiki don't get along, since our clans are not exactly best friends.. but I promise, Yamato means the best. He is just.. he can be a bit mean in his words. I promise he is actually kind of nice.”
The speech then commenced, while Rei tried to make small talk with Giichi to confirm that they were still friends atleast. As soon as the Hokage started naming names however she paid more attention, and clapped when Akio and Aoi were named as candidates. “Congratulations guys! I'm so happy for you!” she proclaimed, and when Yamato was named she couldn't help but feel a bit happy for him too. It was a case of mixed feelings, because since he got chosen, he had to leave Konoha for quite some time she imagined. But then stuff went wrong - very quickly. The Hokage suddenly became ill, and then a robed, masked figure appeared. It.. was this like Pain's invasion? Please, no. Without being given much time to think Yamato appeared while the crowd tumbled into chaos. He seemed to confirm Akio's suspicions that she had had about him, despite Rei saying that he was actually quite nice. But because of Rei's friendly nature she couldn't say anything about Akio calling her brother a prick.. she could argue with her but Akio was actually sort of right. All she could do was ignore it for now. It wasn't the most important thing at this point in time either.
“Giichi-kun, let's go!” Rei yelled as she quickly followed Aoi and Akio. She wasn't as fast as them but she was fast enough to atleast keep up and keep them in sight. She would follow them for now, since Yamato wasn't around and neither was Daiki. That made Aoi the highest ranking shinobi around at this moment.
Yopparai Ramu Koku
“With no booze, whores and cussing, life would be a lot less interesting.”
Give us dem eyes, gurl.
Yopparai slowly followed Tsukiya, not really on edge, simply walking as he normally would. It was pretty clear there was a difference in strength, especially since one of their team was slightly incapacitated. When Tsukiya used his bloodlens lemmet thingie to spot the enemy, it was all rather easy for him to fix. Added to that that Tsukiya prevented the escape of this person constantly carrying the Hyuga.. well, it'd be like dogs in a barrel. That was how the saying went, right?
Just as he was about to walk even closer and swing his sword at the manhole cover, he noticed.. something. What was that sound? It sounded like the whizzing of projectiles. Very small ones.. like raindrops. A look upwards revealed that there were.. watery senbon? It was something like that anyway. They were headed straight for Yopparai, but he dodged it with a simple sidestep. It would take a bit more than just some senbon to get rid of him. But now, now Yopparai was angry. “Fucking mist.. I never thought I'd see mist like this again when I left Kirigakure.. guess I was wrong.” With a quick motion he put the lip of his flask of alcohol at his mouth, before gushing it around inside his mouth to knead chakra into it. As soon as that was done, he would face towards where he thought the majority of the mist was, before spewing it out. The fine mist of alcohol spewed straight into the mist, causing the alcohol to get mixed in with the alcohol due to the molecular interaction that happened between the two.
Not that Yopparai understood any of that molecular bullshit - he just wanted to light shit on fire. With a quick movement he pulled out his flint and steel, before smashing the two together and creating a spark. That spark was enough to kickstart the fire that now occured as the mist with alcohol in it burned up. Essentially, this meant that indirectly Yopparai had gotten rid of the mist atleast partially. It also meant that Yopparai would unknowingly most likely burn up the water clone that was sent out by Gin unless measures were taken. The real question would be if Gin could see this coming, and whether or not he'd get out of the mist in time to avoid getting burnt too badly.
As soon as Yopparai had dealt with the annoyance that was the mist, he noticed that he could see a lot more clear without that annoying mist. He didn't waste any more time and swung his sword around towards the manhole cover. “BOOM BABY!” he yelled as the sword connected, after which he made the explosive tags explode. The sheer force of the explosion would lead to a loud bang, as well as cause the manhole cover to dent so badly that it fit through the hole, likely hitting whoever was still below it in the head. As if being hit with an explosion wasn't bad enough, they'd also get hit with a manhole cover.. that would hurt. “Tsukiya-chaaan, do you want me to blow some fire down into that hole?!” he yelled, looking back at Tsukiya. He wasn't sure what was down the hole and he didn't want to risk losing out on some much needed alcohol.
@floodtalon Hey, give me some time to look at the character sheet as I am currently working on a rather large post. @Kal-El @Akashi Mayhiro and @Savato may obviously also look and grade the sheet.
Also I'd like to say thank you for actually making a CS before asking if you can join, that way I can actually determine if you're a good fit for the RP. I like your style.

The Hokage sighed slightly as he looked over the list. It wasn't a long list by all means but the things written on it were very big to the village. Very big. In a way they were bigger than what Naruto himself could ever have imagined.. bigger than what Hashirama and Madara could have ever wanted for Konoha. “My comrades. I.. don't know how to tell you this.” A few tears began to form in his eyes as he looked over the crowd and let his arms hang, and in that moment he looked less like the hokage and more like a fellow shinobi. Slowly he closed his eyes before wiping them with his right hand, before continueing. A smile came upon his face as he spoke, “We live in an age of peace. And any violence that happens.. it's too much in my eyes. But it's a lifestyle we adopted as shinobi. It's in us. Well. I say no more. I have spoken with the Kazekage and the Mizukage respectively, and they have agreed to an exchange program. We hope that this will create favorable bonds between us.”
The crowd gasped at first, wondering just what this exactly meant. Would they be forming a unified army with these two villages? It didn't look or sound like it at the moment, but any unification like this is usually followed up by bigger centralizations.. “You shouldn't worry, participation is entirely voluntarily. We hope to send a hundred shinobi to each village, just to start. We'll receive the same amount as we send, so likely it'll be a gamble for you to even get into the program. That.. is big on it's own. No, it's unheard of in the history of the shinobi villages. Those who were so proud of their ancestry can now share this with other villages. This is no reason to drop all your pride for Konoha, believe me!”
“But it is a moment for us to reconsider.” With a wide gesture of his hands he tried to calm down the crowd, which at this point was talking loudly. As soon as they calmed a bit more he continued with his speech, moving on to the next issue. “Furthermore.. all the Kage have agreed to set up a unified hunter nin squadron. Hunting rogue shinobi will no longer be a task for each village, and instead we will do it in a unified manner. Participation in this is, sad to say for some of you that rather remain at home.. not voluntarily. Tributes have been selected by my colleagues and some of them include some of you. I will call out your names now. Don't worry. I press you to believe that if you weren't fit for the task, you wouldn't be selected. And it's an honour on it's own - we hope to form these hunter nin into something similar to the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. These hunter nin, they will be the finest, proudest and most elite shinobi we have to offer. From every village!”
A secretary came on stage again and with a bow handed over a long list of names. There were some older members of the force, some ANBU and some very young shinobi listed. It was part of the program. The younger ones would be trained by the elders, and they would become specialized in hunting down and executing those that defy the laws of shinobi. “If I call your name, please step forward!” It was at this point that Zeno teared up again, his sadness at the fact that these people would be leaving the village becoming apparent now. But it was for a greater cause, he knew this. And hopefully so did they. “Chora Akimichi! Kibamaru Inuzuka! Oichen Yamanaka! Mimi Iramura!..” The list continued for a short while more, and aproximately 10 more people were called out. It seemed that nobody known particularily to the group of chunin was called forwards for now. Until the end of the list was reached. “We are reaching the end of the list. Please bear with me. Aiko Tendou, please step forwards. Aoi Don Maquia, please. Shin Maru. Tatsuya Kajiya-Terumi, if you'd step forward. Daiki Naito, Yamato Minamoru... G-.. Gii.. Giichi.. ugh..” Small droplets of sweat were forming at the top of Zeno's head. Slowly he bent over, placing a hand on his forehead. “Excuse me. I don't.. feel so well.. it must be the nerves.” he said, trying to smile. But when he smiled and opened his mouth, everyone could see the blood that was on his teeth. Just as he was about to stand up straight again he caved in again, almost falling on his face before he managed to catch himself with his hands. A second later he spat out large clots of blood onto the platform.
A medical nin hurried towards the Hokage, who was abruptly waved away by the Hokage who claimed to be feeling 'fine' despite the apparent unhealthy situation he was in. At the same time, a hooded, masked figure stood atop the hokages' office, in clear sight. Her figure was largely masked by the cloak she whore, but it was just enough that you could perhaps make out the figure of a woman. In her right hand she held an ANBU shinobi at the throat, who was struggling heavily before she finally threw her hand forwards and sent the ANBU nin tumbling to his death. Zeno immediately realised what was going on, and stumbled to get off the platform he was on. With a clumsy movement he threw over the small speech desk that he was standing behind. Struggling to even get up, he realised what had hapened. His eyes flashed side to side looking for someone that could help him, but were met only with people who stared at both him, and at the strange figure atop the Hokages' office. Within a second another ANBU member had reached the cloaked figure and was now engaging her in combat, leaving some of the jonin and others to wonder as to whether they should interfere or not. The ANBU was handling it.. obviously? And what was wrong with the Hokage?
Zeno managed to collect himself a bit and got enough grip on the ground to start a half run, tumbling side to side as he ran down a narrow street. He tried to look behind him at the figure, only to be met with the sight of another ANBU nin falling down onto the roof tiles of the hokages' office, before rolling down and crashing into a smaller roof below. And with that kill confirmed, the hooded figure jumped away before anymore shinobi could even think of reaching her.
It was hard to see just what this woman had done to kill these ANBU, let alone what her next movements were going to be. In fact the whole situation had gotten quite unclear and chaotic, and add to that the fact that there were about sixteen classes of academy students, some old, some younger.. you had a situation that had the opportunity to get out of hand quickly. The hooded figure made clear use of this exploitable situation to land amidst the large group of shinobi, causing many of them to back off. The few that tried to catch her were met only with an empty space, seeing as she had jumped away long before they had even extended their arms. Her target was pretty clear - she was after the Hokage.
Zeno ran away, headed for the mountain with the Hokages' faces in it, though they had long ago ran out of space and since then it had become a monument to the ancient hokages. It was about the only place he could be somewhat safe, since the Hokages' office was already under attack by this person. And he could feel.. something was wrong. He never coughed blood, and he never sweat like this. It was weird, and it was so unlike him. His power and chakra was sapping away more and more, he felt that too. He faced back at the street he was running through, only to end up stumbling and then tumbling, rolling down the street a bit before catching himself again and getting up, only to continue his escape. The only thing he could do at this time was run to offer the ANBU more time to catch this.. person. Who ever it was..
Meanwhile on the roofs, the person in the cloak was giving chase on the Hokage in a rather speedy way of going about it. She jumped from rooftop to rooftop, occasionally coming under attack by ANBU nin, whole squads at once. But she dispersed them with remarkable speed, it never becoming quite clear what she was exactly doing to get rid of these people. Sometimes she just dodged their attacks and then body flickered away, leaving them to find out where she had gone. It would take a bit more than that to get rid of the woman.
Yamato Minamoru, “Young Master”
“Watashi wa Kami, I am God.”
Yamato noticed Aoi waving at him, and all he did to return the favour was give her a deadly look. He was already annoyed with that kid. Didn't she grow up to be 18 around the same time as him.. she'd better act like it a bit more. A single glance to the right showed to him that Daiki was also here. Apparently he'd been given the same task as him. He decided to atleast have some company. Jonin should stick together, even if they didn't like eachother. Tsk.. like eachother.. hate was a better word. But Yamato remembered what father had told him. No more spats with the Naito's. Those days were over, now that they were both adults and jonin. With a slight frown he approached Daiki, passing by several of the children. Two of them were fighting, after which one got hurt. That's the life kid. Get used to it. And he would've gotten used to it if there wasn't some nosy idiot medical nin screwing that up. Yamato let go of a sigh. What's with all these do-good chunin that wanted to help everyone and save the world. Those days, like Yamato and Daiki's feuding days, were also over. But Yamato didn't interfere. He had better shit to do than to yell at a chunin that thought she could help everyone and every soul.
“Yo, baka.” Yamato said as he approached Daiki. His metal armor grinded a bit as he approached, but it was softened by the fact that Yamato had thrown on his flak jacket over the combat armor. It looked impressive to say the least, but for Yamato it had more traditional and respectful values since it was expected to be worn during formal meetings too. “Any idea what this bullcrap is about today?” he said, but just then, Hokage Shitlord himself opened his mouth to explain just exactly what this bullcrap was about today. “Great.”
Yamato sat through most of the motivational, emotional idiocy, but got alerted when the hokage spoke of a missing nin squadron. This could be a chance to get out of Konoha, to leave this shithole and finally do something worthwhile rather than babysitting schoolchildren. “He better say my name.. or else.. I'll fucking kill him..” Yamato mumbled to himself with no shame about his death threats regarding the hokage, barely audible to Daiki, but certainly audible if Daiki was paying as much attention as Yamato was. Yamato didn't like the list of names but he still let out a sigh of relief when he heard his own name. And that of Daiki.. Baka hokage.. BAKA! BAKA BAKA BAKA! Internally Yamato couldn't help but scream at himself. He would've gone on a rampage if it weren't for the fact that the hokage seemed to become unwell. And right at that moment, as if fate was playing a trick, a mysterious figure appeared atop the Hokages' office. Someone that was unknown to the village. How did they even get in? “Daiki.. be alert. Look, there.” Yamato said, motioning with his head towards the figure. It was pretty obvious that this was no coincidence, and the fact that the figure dropped an ANBU down the building to his death confirmed that. Chaos spread quickly as ANBU members jumped from the crowd in an attempt to get atop the building to take down this threat, while medical personnel was running all over the place to tend to the fallen ANBU nin, who Yamato was quite sure, was already dead.
And as if luck would have it, the crowd, which included many more non-shinobi than actual shinobi, plummeted into total chaos too. All the civilians suddenly started running, trying to escape what they thought to be an attempt to kill all of Konoha. Yamato knew better than that but he couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed as people bumped into him. One particular man just ran straight into him, and then continued running without a word. Yamato glanced back and was about to yell several obscenities when he noticed that the children were still there. “God damnit.. Daiki, we need to get these kids out of here. Let me tell the others what we're doing, I'll be back in a second.”
Yamato seemed rather unfazed by what had just happened, since he didn't give too much of a shit about the Hokage to begin with, but added onto that was the fact that he was quite confident that the ANBU could deal with whatever this person was trying to do. With a single leap Yamato landed near Aoi, which seemed to be where most people were gathered. “What are you still standing around for you idiots? Me and Daiki will bring our classes back to a safer area, we'll meet up with you on the way. Aoi, you're the highest ranking shinobi, so get your incompetent ass moving.” He didn't wait around for too long to get an answer - he had delivered his flurry of insults paired with orders, despite the fact that he and Aoi were the same rank. That was enough to kickstart Aoi into actually doing something other than playing on that stupid gameboy she had.
Yamato leaped back to Daiki and nodded at him quickly, not granting him much more than that. What they were doing was obvious. Yamato looked at the kids, some of which seemed frightened and others seemed just about ready to jump into the fight themselves. “Yo, knuckleheads. If you're thinking about going after that person, forget it. Leave it to me and Daiki. We'll take care of it. But I think we have time to bring you guys to a safer place. Maybe then you won't die. Maybe.” Yamato wasn't exactly that great a motivator, but he also wasn't a good comforter. His words perhaps made the kids even more scared, but atleast those who seemed ready to throw their lives away were now scared into submission. Slowly Yamato began to lead them out of there at a steady pace, bringing them towards a nearby restaurant. They seemed to be safe there - the restaurant owner promised to take care of them and began offering them some food, and the fact that there was still a teacher there certainly helped. And then, as soon as he and Daiki were done, they'd head out to rendezvous with whatever shinobi were still around and head for the Hokage to see what had happened. Not that Yamato really cared about the Hokage, but he was more interested in this person and what they were here for. “Oi, Daiki.. just hurry up and throw those kids inside. The teacher will take care of them. You slow ass baka.. dogs like you are so annoying.” he said as he looked away into the distance, trying to see if there was still as much chaos on the plaza. Suddenly he raised his voice. “Hey you! Medical nin, come over here and come with us!” he said, looking at the woman that had healed that little whiny shit earlier in his class.
Yopparai Ramu Koku
“With no booze, whores and cussing, life would be a lot less interesting.”
Oi matey.
Yopparai looked around the room in a bored fashion, since he wasn't getting a response at all. Well, he was getting a response but it was just some chakra wire net thingie.. bah. “BORING!” he yelled as he swung his sword at the chakra nets, easily breaking the wires without even having to explode stuff. Even when the wires were cut, he continued his spin, going a full circle before lowering himself and placing one foot behind him. He thought he looked cool doing that. However in his spin he did notice that there were kunai with tags thrown at him, and when he was done spinning like a madman, he noticed that Tsukiya had already sent them back. That weird blood.. bloodlens.. bloodlens lemmet? ...bloodlens lemmet that Tsukiya had made it so easy to do stuff like that. The mist didn't make it any more easy to see jackshit, though.
“OI, Hyuga! ..Hyuga? Where is she? Fucking mist!” he said, realizing only now that they'd vanished. What he was unaware of due to the mist however, was that there were explosive tags being sent back again by the Hyuga, and that they were headed right for the building. It was only when the explosion occured that Yopparai responded. “Oi, mist-guy! It seems your team doesn't- AGK! FUCKING BRICKS! MIST GUY, YOUR TEAM DOESN'T CARE FOR YOUR SAFETY! AGK, FUCKING HELL.” he yelled at Gin, trying to play with his morale a bit as Chihiro and Jun just more or less abandoned Gin, and even endangered him by throwing explosive tags at a building that was ready to collapse. Atleast if nobody knew that there were enemy shinobi in the village, then they know for sure now.
Not wanting to get trapped under the building, Yopparai dashed back quickly through the opening in the wall now, escaping ensured death from the collapsing building. He was quite sure Gin was still in there, because obviously he could still see the mist inside. So he simply raised his knee and kicked the portion of the wall that was still sending, making the collapse of that building just a bit faster. Hopefully Gin wouldn't be able to get out, and he'd die under that pile of rubble. “Eat shit! I mean, eat bricks!”
However Gin wasn't interesting enough to waste more time on. He'd gotten hit with a bunch of bricks as the kunai tags exploded, and that meant this was no longer just about the Byakugan, this meant that he wanted revenge. He'd throw some bricks at them in return. Who did they think they are? A bunch of do-good shinobi? Pah! “Tsukiya-chaaan! Let's get those Byakugan!” he said with an annoying voice as he jumped up onto the building he was on previously, and then jumped over the pile of rubble that was the former team N.C.4 hideout. He didn't know exactly where Chihiro had ran off to, but he'd make damn sure to find them.
He did notice a pair of people running. And.. it looked like a person holding another. It had to be them. “Ohh, Hyuga-chaaan!” he yelled as he jumped from building to building slightly above them. He received no answer, so he readied his sword and jumped down, slashing widely at them and exploding the sword on contact. The blast of the explosive tags on his gigantic sword would send bits of dirt and brick out to the surrounding houses as well as throw up a large screen of dust, making it so Yopparai couldn't actually see what'd happened until the dust cleared. And when he did.. “WHAAA?! WATER?” As soon as he noticed that he'd killed a clone that Gin had made instead of the actual targets, he would jump up to a house and make his way back to Tsukiya. He was visibly annoyed at this point. He was gotten by such a cheap trick. “Tsukiya-chaaaan! They made clones! Those fuckers made clones! I'll need you to sense the real position of these bastards with your bloodlens lemmet so I can explode some stuff. Pretty-please?”
Reihana Minamoru, “Little Master”
“For the Minamoru, everything.”
Rei had received the same text that any others had, and had quickly gotten up from the couch, thrown her sack of crisps onto the table and gotten dressed. The TV was left on, since there was nobody home to complain about something called 'energy waste'.. whatever that was. Like they couldn't afford it. She threw on her black croptop and quickly half-zipped her hoodie over it, throwing on her leggings with nice looking cut outs on the side, and then her sandals. A good outfit for any shinobi! Not to mention the expensive branding on it. It was pretty clear that Rei's family was rich, and she didn't really try to hide it either. As she ran down the stairs in a hurry she ran into the living room once more. “Better turn that off, anyway...” she spoke to herself for no particular reason as she gripped the remote control and turned off the TV. With that done she ran away again in a girlish fashion, heading out the door.
Within seconds she returned to the house, heading inside and grabbing her flak jacket from the nearby coathanger. She threw it on quickly and didn't bother to zip it up and then headed out again, closing the door behind her with a loud slam. With all that happening in the span of about 10 minutes, she quickly made her way to the plaza where the speech would be held. On the way she felt a buzz in her pocket, and pulled out her phone again. She expected it to be one of her non-shinobi friends, but strangely enough it was a message from Akio. She didn't remember ever really speaking to Akio.. or any of the other chunin, save maybe Shin. “Weird!” she yelled as she pocketed the phone again and made her way to where the message told her to go.
Arriving on the square she ran through the opening between lines of Shinobi, quickly making her way to the east part of the square. She ran right past Tsukiko-sama, waving at her cheerfully and yelling at her. “Hoy-hoy Tsukiko-sama! You look pretty as always!” Tsukiko had always been a sort of role model for Rei, as she embodied feminine shinobi-hood best. Yamato was still Rei's nr. 1 role model obviously, but Tsukiko had taught Rei something about how to still be feminine when doing shinobi tasks. Mainly it came down to having a big bust.
Her white hair waved behind Rei as she ran at Aoi and Akio, spotting Shin there as well. She was already waving at them and when she finally came close, she would stop and put her hands on her knees as she rested a bit, panting since she'd ran the entire way here. When she felt a bit more at ease she straightened herself and smiled at Aoi and Akio, as well as Shin. “Hey guys, good afternoon! Akio, I like your hair today!”
Good to know, looking forward to it.

Naruto: Path to Enlightment
While the recently awoken N.C.4 of the 11th corps was sent out on a mission, strangely enough for no apparent reason, and no questions asked from higher up as to why Chihiro Hyuga and Gin Kakiyama had both suddenly vanished with this person, almost as if this had been planned, the rest of the village was still in relative peace. Several jonin and chunin were also out on missions, but the largest part was in the village, waiting for a sudden surge in missions. It seemed to be something that occured frequently, you were waiting for a mission for a couple of days, and then when you finally thought you could relax, a guy showed up with a paper stating you had to go here and there and do this and that. It was the shinobi life, and you got used to it, but it never got out of the annoyance factors of many shinobi.
Today, it seemed like one of those days where nothing happened. Though the office area around the Hokage's office was busy, more busy than other days, the other areas were quiet. Even the financial district seemed a bit quiet, although traffic was still big there. However anyone paying attention would also notice the many ANBU on site at the Hokage's office, taking positions atop buildings and in the streets, patrolling like usual, but obviously also looking out or guarding a specific area.
Then, at precisely 11:45 the message came to every shinobi. The Hokage, Zeno Hakarasu, was going to have a small speech at 12:00 in front of the Hokage's office, the usual spot. That would explain the many ANBU preparing the site, making sure it was clear from any threats. The Hokage was still a very powerful man, but it was better to take precautions as there are always organisations and lone wolves that wanted rid of the Hokage, and with that, Konohagakure. The message would arrive at all shinobi's disposal through their cellphone, receiving a simplistic text message that would alert them to the event.
Greetings, all shinobi of Konohagakure,
today the Hokage, Zeno Hakarasu, will be giving a motivational speech followed rapidly by an explanation as to the policies for the coming five years at 12.00 precisely. Missions rated C-rank and below are canceled for the day, and will continue tomorrow instead.
Attendance is mandatory for all shinobi not currently on a B-rank mission or higher. That will be all.
Hope to see you there,
Ayame Choko.
This short message was enough to alert people about the time, as the location would be the same as always. Upon arrival to the scene the shinobi would find a large mass of shinobi concentrated in the square at the center, but there was enough room to get to the front anyway. That was because the shinobi were, indeed, shinobi and had enough decency to simply stand comfortably in their own clique's of friends, whilst maintaining a solid line formation. If one were to walk in, it'd be almost as if it was an army meeting that had just ended, as everyone was still in line but standing very informally.
At precisely 12:00 the Hokage walked outside, guided on one side by an ANBU member and on the other side by a woman who wore her hair up, and had a pair of glasses sitting on her nose. Anyone would recognise her as the woman sitting behind the front desk handling visitors in the office, but many would be lead to question where Ayame was at this point in time. Whispers said that she had been missing for a long time, and some even said that she had gotten pregnant. Fujitora was completely forgotten in this, as he was expected to simply arrive later. They knew better than to think he wasn't going to show up.
The Hokage soon silenced the crowd as he stepped up to the microphone that was on the wooden platform. With a slight grumble he started his speech. “Friends! Comrades! Brothers in arms.. today we meet here because I had a feeling you could all use a morale boost. I know that work has been tough on you, but that's the shinobi life. Never the less, I am grateful to you all.” His words echoed through the plaza as everyone stood in complete silence, only the off cough or whisper being audible to any listening.
“I am grateful because it isn't me that makes Konoha great, beautiful or big. It's all of you!” he said loudly, making a wide gesture with his hands. “And in a way, I owe you all my job as Hokage. One of the most honorable positions I can imagine. So thank you, for that too. Now.. I was instructed that you also needed to be updated on policy changes for the coming five years.”
He would pause for a moment as his secretary handed him the papers that detailed most of the changes, and there was a lot of them. The shinobi were going to be forced to sit through them and he wasn't finished just yet..
Yamato Minamoru, “Young Master”
“Watashi wa Kami, I am God.”
Yamato had, just like Aoi and Daiki, received the message a bit earlier, and they'd also received a slightly different message. He was told to come to the academy at 11.55 and help guide the academy students to the square. That was a boring task, more fit for people like Haruka, who enjoyed doing the mundane and unnessecary twenty times over. But Yamato didn't grumble or moan about it, he simply accepted it as a task of a jonin, just like Aoi and Daiki should.
He headed out in full battle-ornate, in his battle armor of metal as he always did. It was about 11.45 at that time, only moments after receiving the text. It was lucky that he'd been up earlier since he'd still have stuff to do now that he lived alone. It was barely a five minute walk, too, since he could really only afford a Downtown appartment. He'd never realized what a shithole Downtown was until he lived there. The fact that he lived on the outskirts of Konoha had been a blessing and a curse and he only realized it now. Such a sheltered life, simply by living there. In Downtown he was confronted with the harsh reality of the poor people living there. And it didn't change his vision of them. They were still scum. It just made him realize that they were supposed to be treated like it too.
With a sigh he opened the gate to the academy, looking around quickly to see if Aoi or Daiki was already there. He did see them in the recipients list for that special text they received.. there was no sight of them yet anyway. He headed inside for that reason, as there was nobody to talk to about what was going on precisely. He quickly found sensei Chuboku, in classroom 1D as he'd always been. The kids there weren't that young, they were all around the age of 12 really. Probably preparing heavily for their genin exams, if anything.. “Do they really need guidance? Most of these kids could kick the hokages' ass any day.” he said, with his remarkable discontent with the current hokage. What were the jonin thinking when they accepted that lazy shit as hokage.. atleast now that he was jonin he could influence these kind of things. “Shh, Yamato-kun. Don't say such things in front of the children.. and I agree, they don't need guidance. They're not 8 anymore.. but orders are orders, you know that.” sensei Chuboku answered Yamato. “I know.” the answer was.
Yamato clapped in his hands and got the attention of all the students in the room at once. “Good morning. I am Yamato Minamoru. I will be your glorified tour guide for the day..” Yamato didn't see it, but behind him sensei Chuboku sighed heavily and put his head in his palm. There was simply no getting rid of Yamato's attitude was there? Ever since he was a kid, Yamato had had this attitude.. “You will follow me. No running, no dancing, no jumping, no laughing, no crying. Nothing. You will follow me and you will talk with eachother.”
“Hai, Yamato!” the class sang in unison, and they got ready to get out. “Let me add to that. You will also refer to me as Yamato sensei. Show respect to those that deserve it. That includes anyone with a higher rank. Understood?” Yamato added, a particular authoritarian choice of words, but a semi-friendly voice to say it. Semi friendly, because it was hard for Yamato to sound friendly even if he tried. “Hai, Yamato-sensei!”
With that bussiness finally handled, Yamato and the class made their way to the square. He guided them all the way, even talking with a few of the students on the way. It wasn't a full blown conversation, but he wasn't picky about answering questions. He was brutally honest with them though, that much was to be expected. “Did you ever kill someone?!” “Yes. More than once.” “Was he a bad guy?!” “No. He was just a guy. He did what he thought was right.” “Nanda?! Why did you kill him then!?” “Because he tried to kill me. And he failed.” The boy gulped and drooped off to the back where he'd whisper to his friends about how cool Yamato was. If only they knew the whole story. A girl now approached, looking giddy and giggly. “Y-Yamato-sensei! D-Do you have a girlfriend?!” “No.” “C-can I be it?!” “I am engaged. Sorry.”
The entire trip went something like that, until they got to the square. Yamato lined the children up nicely and made sure they stood at attention, though he realized they were kids and he did cut them some slack. That was rare for Yamato. Perhaps he did have something resembling a heart. And so he stood next to then, keeping an eye out, until the hokage appeared. That was when he started paying attention himself, to listen what this glorified moron had to say for himself.
