Welcome to Gaia! ::

masato's clone burst into the office "Hey! the only foreign shinobi I saw at the gates was your girlfriend! unless you want me to kill her? but naw, you don't seem that mean" he joked.

"thanks boss!" he exclaimed dissappearing

Iori appeared in the office and immediately went to the Raikage's closet.
"Y-You!" Hirose muttered in surprise.
"Yes, me." Iori replied as he pulled out various clothes and stripped off the ones he had on.
Hirose stayed quiet for a moment, then stated "My supply of energy will not last forever, you know. You will have to return."
"I know. Iori said back before stepping out of the closet, donning his new outfit. "But not now." He then reached into the closet and pulled out a fairly new guitar. He placed it on the Raikage's desk as Hirose watched in silence. Iori carefully disassembled the instrument using wind, and then placed the sword he had taken from Zatenai inside it before assembling the guitar back in one piece. He shook the guitar around and then strummed the strings to make sure it didn't make any noise or give any indication that it was carying a sword. Iori then took a seat and spoke to Hirose while tuning the guitar in his lap. "I am leaving Father with you. He is too noticible to carry myself. If anything happens he will help you defeat whatever enemies may come our way. Also," Iori reached in his pocket and pulled out two rings. "I am giving you the ring of the former Akatsuki leader. It will grant you proof if anybody doubts your identity. The other, the one for the akatsuki diplomat, I will carry since it bears no real merit. I have a feeling it might come in handy during my travels if I ever need to fake an Akatsuki position." Iori strummed the strings of the guitar and grew a small smile to see that he had done a good job. He then placed the akatsuki ring on his middle finger and gently placed the guitar in a black case. He lifted it up by the handled and walked out the door, never looking back. "Goodbye, Hirose Kemuri."
The Raikage sighed and folded the skeleton-patterned hoodie that held, Father before placing the akatsuki ring with its hood and placing it gently in one of his drawers. Afterwards he locked it and resumed sitting, snapping his attention back to the pile of papers in front of him.

((Fenrir, you go for it. I'm too busy.))

((I didn't see that one come at all.))

Saito appears from the shadows of the office as he bows slightly at the Raikage. "Raikage sama...I have finished my training...and I have become stronger than ever before. Forgive my absence, but I am here now to do whatever you wish of me." Saito stated.

"I see...then you're right I have come at the right time. Thankfully, sir, I have aquired vast knowledge from my travels. I have been trained in medical jutsus by one of the best medical shinobis, I have trained in the art of swordfighting and speed by the Kage of Mist, I have attained a summoning sword scroll from the Kage of Grass, a curse mark from the Kage of Sand, sword training from the Kage of Sound...and to top it off," Saito finished as he removed the bandages from his right arm. Suddenly, the arm erupted in black flames as he held it out. "I have stepped into the deepest realms of darkness in order to gain control..." Saito stated...he hoped that his training gave the Raikage reassurance that his country wouldn't look weak.
