Solome glanced at Xaoh. The message must have been delivered from Atraeyu and the others. Once he told her everything she needed to hear, she tightened her gloves. Each glove had metal plates grooved on the knuckle area with the flame symbol embedded on each one. She was awaiting an opportunity like this. "It's about damn time if you ask me. You ready Xaoh, because I damn well know I am!" She said making her way towards the Ashitaka District alongside Xaoh to find Kazumei.
If there was one thing she hated, it was cocky bastards who actually weaker than what their mouths were putting them. "You and Kazumei can handle anyone else that shows up, I want the Otokage saved for myself." -exit-

Juno had just stepped through the gates of the Flame Village before entering the Royal Plaza. He had just come back from a mission involving the escort of an old man to the feudal lord's palace. The mission went well except for a gang of bandits that attempted to ambush them. Still, Juno emerged victorious and resumed the mission until it was completed. Once he was payed his share of ryou for the mission, he headed out without a single question as to why the men had attempted to ambush the old man. Once he arrived in the Flame, the aroma of burnt meat and smoke seemed to drift from the Mosou District.
"Smells like someone's getting their a** blown apart if you asked me."
He smiled, nudging the side of his nose. The guards seemed pretty calm up until the point of the explosion, so it could be inferred that the village was under no form of attack as no one had managed to get passed the gates. No. This explosion was the caused by someone from within the village. Whatever the case, he could only hope that no one was on the receiving in of the explosion.

Reyo came walking into the Royal Plaze with his arms crossed as he started to think about how he was going to train his genin once they came for his squad. As Reyo walked he looked up to see Juno standing in the area. Yet Reyo also heard the explosion that came from the Musou District but, he didn't pay it any mind. Then again if it was something that could threaten the village Reyo and Juno would be the ones to destroy it for good. Reyo then notice that the most of the shinobi were gone. The Agnikage was gone, Xaoh was gone, Salome was gone, Asha was gone, Takashi was gone, and then 3 ANBU Ranked shinobi were gone also. This was something Reyo decided to ask Juno about this.
"Yo Juno. What do you think of everyone leaving us behind like that man. I wanted to be involved in this man."
As Reyo said that he uncrossed his arms and placed them in his pockets. Reyo's trust scroll rested on his back as he grinned with his hands in his pockets. Reyo didn't pay attention to anything that was going on at the gate. Since the gate would be the first line of defense. If they got through the gate they would have to face two people one a Lightning and Wind Master. Once they came here and faced these two it would be like meeting Xaoh and Kazumei in a battle.

As the sounds of the explosions silenced, so did the smell. He heard no signs of people screaming and neither. The ANBU in the area didn't seem to flinch so all must have been taken care of. Not long later an ANBU come storming up alongside Juno before whispering into the Metal Angel's ear. He would raise one eyebrow as the ANBU relayed the recent information to him on what had just transpired at the Mosou District. Apparently Rengoru had gotten himself killed in the Mosou District by one of the Mosou in the area. Ousha Mosou, a genin to be more exact. A slight jolt of interest rose within him. Though Rengoru was a jounin, he wasn't exactly one of the toughest jounin in the village. However the fact still had to be taken into consideration that Ousha was only a genin. The only thing he was curious about was what was the nature of their battle. He wasn't quite sure if it was a spar or actual serious battle that had taken place for Rengoru to have his life taken away by a genin.
"I don't know what happen for guy to go off and get himself killed, but there's nothing I can do about it now. From what they say, his injuries were far to devastating to start up whatever was left of his heart."
He shook his head in disappointment. Stabbing the tip of the Uruinagi into the ground, he pressed his left hand against it's handle as he leaned to the side. From the fissure, a series of cracks crawled from underneath the immense weight of the sword. The sword was compressed so many layers upon layers of metal that it's time that it had now weighed many times more than Juno's own weight, meaning he was using the influence of magnetic side of Zirin to reduce the weight to an amount more suitable for wielding. In many ways this strengthened both Juno's kekkei genkai, chakra, speed, and his muscles all in one exercise just by reducing his usage over Zirin by so many intervals to increase the weight once more. It wasn't long before he heard Reyo's voice not far behind him. Turning around, he noticed him coming up to greet him.
"It's all good I guess. They made their decisions for a reason. Besides, there's still Agni Koshu around the corner so I'm not concerned."
He nudged the tip of Uruinagi for a few moments, before letting off a bored yawn. He was pretty anxious about the upcoming Agni Koshu tournament so he had no true interest in what lied outside of the village being that most of the shinobi he had come across outside the gates were pushovers. Not that all of them were, but the majority for the most part. It was only when Agni Koshu came around that he could truly put his skills to the test because he had trust in the strength of Agnigakure to give him that challenged. The feeling of facing against the strongest jounin of the Flame was definitely something to look forward to.

Reyo looked up at the sky. As Reyo looked up at the sky he unhooked his large scroll that was on his back. After Reyo did that he placed it on the ground. As the scroll hit the ground it it made the ground crack in the ground and a whole also. The only thing Reyo wanted to do was fighting. Training with Juno was always something he could do to make the time fly by fast. Reyo hand his right hand resting ontop of the scroll and just sighed as he said to himself.
"Well when is Agni Koshu going to start. I hope Lord Agnikage will invite some other shinobi so that I can destroy them before I really use all my power on Juno."
Reyo smiled to himself. To Reyo his only equal and even his only friend was Juno. They grew up together. Hell they did just about everything together as shinobi of the flame village. Reyo then looked down at the street and just had a smile on his face. It just seemed that Reyo only had battle on his mind right now.

As Reyo stood there glancing at the clouds, he would suddenly feel a firm grip settling heavily upon his shoulder followed by the crackling sound of a lightning imbued palm would strike out from the side of Reyo's head, aiming to pierce the right side of the Notama's temple. Brilliant blue sparks popped in and outward from the sides of the metal angel's spearing forearm as it shot out for Reyo's skull. The plaza was barely held any people today, and the only few people they did have had already abandoned the area the moment Juno made his entrance. It had been a while since he entered the this area. During the last passing months, Juno had been busy putting himself through vigorous training for the upcoming Agni Koshu tournament. It was a tournament that involved different aspects of fighting and an event that brought in the best of the best from all sides of the lands.

As Reyo felt the grip on his shoulder and then heard the crackling sound of lightning, he quickly jerked forward in the attempts of dodging the attack. At the same time he gripped his large scroll with his right hand causing it to come into the air at the same level of his chest. When Reyo was a good distance from Juno he said to him.
"What are you doing Juno. You could have killed me man."
After Reyo said that he placed his left hand on the large scroll and held it in front of his body not knowing what Juno was going to do next. Reyo always knew that when training or fighting with Juno he had to be ready for anything. If Reyo wasn't ready he could die over the smallest mistake. Hell he could be hurt if Juno didn't plan to hold back.

Standing in the position he stood, Juno chuckled before glancing towards Reyo. He was pleased to see that Reyo's reflexes were better thane ever these days. It would really be disappointing to see someone of his caliber get rusty over these last passing months. The plated skin sword, Uruinagi, sat boldly across his back diagonally as he stood aways from Reyo. It was large blade. One that weighed a few hundred pounds, which would be considered a handicap from the perspective of anyone fighting Juno. However the blade did have it's advantages, even outside of battle. Carrying it in itself was a great tribute to both his strength and speed, which could be visibly noticeable. However the one thing that could not seen with the naked eye, was it's significance in increasing his skill in wielding his kekkei genkai. Glancing back at Reyo, he would let out a small chuckle before scratching the side of his head. Of course he wasn't aiming to kill Reyo. It would be a shame if that were to happen. But the look on Reyo's face was priceless, and it was something Juno wouldn't be able to get out of him with any average approach.
"Just bringing you back realit for a minute, your mind seemed like it drifted to the Village Hidden in Lollipops for a moment."
He said before pocketing his hands.

Reyo sighed and placed his scroll back in its holder which on was around his waist on the back side. After Reyo did the he crossed his arms and looked at Juno before he said to him.
"Really man sometimes you take a little to far. I actually like drifting to the Village Hidden in Lollipops to see what everyone is doing."
Reyo was clowning around he knew that he was drifting off into lala land. Hell it was something to do when there anyone around. So if he wasn't training he was going into lala land to think. Then again there where alot of things that he had to do. With the tournament coming soon and then the demons on the loos something is going to happen soon and they had to be ready.
"So what do you think is going out there in the shinobi world."

Juno said nothing in response to Reyo's comment. He only stared off into the sky. Now it was his time to visit the Village Hidden in Lollipops. There were a lot of things there. A lot of memories in which he had never reminisced on, that he should have over the years. Returning to the question Reyo had posed earlier, he scratched his head for a second. Personally he never really contemplated on what was going on outside the walls of the Flame Village. But he did have a some ideas, some in which were obvious to Reyo as well. One of these was the bijuu. "Well there are the bijuu. I''m not sure what those things are up to. With the kage's heads up their hats, you won't be seeing too many alliances...that's for sure." They had began randomly attacking villages all of a sudden. This was a matter that only the kages or someone from the outside could put their fingers on. In order for him to pinpoint something this detailed would require at least some traces that were left behind, but there was nothing to go on. Absolutely nothing but the devastation that the demons had left behind in their paths of destruction. The strange thing about these attacks from what he had heard was that these beasts had a higher sense of intelligence. In his opinion, it made sense. Each and every single one of the attacks were orchestrated at nearly the same times. It wasn't munch, but it was the only thing that they did know at the time. Besides the bijuu mess, he did hear some news about the Shadow Village's minor problem. Something Juno could have taken care of himself had he spotted the one they were looking for. The only thing he didn't understand was how the village allowed him to go missing this long. Perhaps it was because of his position in the village that helped him last this long. Otherwise someone like him who took bragging rights in defeating the previous weakling Otokage should have been wiped from the face of the shinobi world a long time ago.
"Looks like we have a good bit in store for us which is pretty damn good in my opinion."
He shrugged. The idea of him roaming around the village in these times wasn't exactly sounding like the greatest idea right about now. He had been hoping for an S ranking mission for some time now. From the looks of it, he heard the Spiral Mountain range event in the Earth Country was a bit fun. He had gotten word that most of the members from the enemy organization had escaped, but fortunately two had been struck down, and their leader was amongst one of the fallen one. Striking the leader down was a pretty logical thing to do. After all, once the leader was gone, the entire herd would wonder around without any guidance. This was probably why the Agnikage had planned on sending various shinobi to strike down each of the last remaining members of that organization. Pocketing his hands, to the side and grinned. That was just it. He had decided on his next move. He would travel the lands hunting for the last remaining members of Vengeance and erase them from the shinobi world.
"I think I'm going to let the Flame and Water Gods sit this one out old buddy. They have enough on their plates without having to worry about small fry. I'm going to to take care of the last remaining members of vengeance. Besides I think they would make the perfect warm up exercise before the tournament...."

 A strange wind began to blow through the well fortified harbor and not the ominous kind, because that would more or less end this story kinda short wouldn't it. What made this particular wind so strange as per the usual? It was one of destiny! Why yes! what other kind can there be! Well there is three bean chili wind, but that's taco night wind. Today is not that day though! Maybe tomorrow, but not this day! not on the watch of RYOUMA! Now as for the reason of blood and sweat, which was pretty common come to think of it in this village, but if one would be in the habit of drawing conclusions from appearances alone, a person could tell that young Ryouma had something of a brawl. Bruises, cuts, and relatively minor wounds littered his face and would could probably surmise they went far lower as well given the gate of his walk. Despite the overwhelming fact that it looked as though a parade of angry bison had a merry day stomping over the youths body, In fact, the only anything on his body that seemed to have suffered no injury at all would be a set of twin shields strapped to his hips. Each a perfect match of the other in size and shape. Bearing no more then three feet across in diameter in a perfect round shape. Many days of love and labor clearly went into their creation as they occasionally clinked against the ground due to the off balanced gate in which Ryouma walked.
Despite all of this, there he went, walking with his chest out in pride as he steadily made his way towards the dock. Whether this was some sort of self affliction through severe self training or some practice session with fellow genin gone wrong, Ryouma continued his steady pace towards the harbor, never seeming give much notice to his surroundings as he passed other shinobi around him without so much as a word or nod that they are even there. Fatigue more then likely being the key reason, but with the look of pure satisfaction splayed across his beaten face, one could just as well mistake it for pure arrogance.(why yes, I am going to make satirical comments through my own posts.)

Reyo noticed that a genin had came into the royal plaza. As Reyo noticed this he kept his eyes on Juno as he said to him.
"So im guessing you know where Vengeance is going to be right Juno. I never knew they where actually still around. Hell they ran like cowards after two of there members had died on them."
After Reyo said that he laughed to himself and crossed his arms. Juno was right though killing the rest of Vengeance was going to be something fun to do. As Reyo thought about that he looked over to the genin and smiled. It seemed he had a plan for this genin to grow stronger in no time. The only problem was getting Juno to also agree to it. Then again he knew that Juno would agree to it.
"Say Juno what do you think of this genin right here. Do you think he would be enough to take out one of the members of Vengeance. Hell I think this kid is more than enough."

Juno smirked. Of course he knew where they were. At least he had a good idea. They were scattered. A scattered herd lost without their Shepard. Juno would set them free from their miserable life of hiding. The Metal Angel was anxious to meet these shinobi. For him, striking each of these shinobi down would be a pleasure. Using them as an exercise before things got heated in the world would surely increase trilogy strength. This was majority the reason he was interested in hunting them down. During his training there were an array of techniques in which he had acquired. Some of them were only suited for testing on an enemy of the village, and were far from any abilities that one would want to test out during a friendly sparring match. Pressing his hand against the blade of Uruinagi, electric chakra would crackle around the fingers of his left palm before streaming along the edges of his blade. All around the blade, black sand would begin lifting in clouds of darkness in thick blotches almost until the blade itself was obscured from sight. Bringing the sword towards the ground, he would glance in Reyo's direction.
"No worry. I got a good idea. They won't see what's coming to them." He said sticking the blade into the ground. "Maybe they were afraid. Once they're leader was struck down, they probably lost all their morale."
Juno motioned an eye in Ryouma's direction, who seemed like his usual self these days. He was the village's number one idiot in the eyes of most, but in Juno's eyes he held some potential. "Of course." He answered Reyo. He was sure Ryouma could easily hold his own against a member of Vengeance. He was sure both his genin, Ryouma and Ousha were more than capable for such a feat. With the news of Ousha's feat passing through the village, it made it all the more possible for genin of the Flame to accomplish anything these days. With each new generation, they were growing stronger and they were not to be taken lightly just because of their ranks. Given the right training, he knew Ryouma had the potential to become something great in the future. By the time Juno released the sword from the ground, the ground underneath Reyo, Ryouma, and himself had been reduced to a metallic shiny black slab. Speaking of which, perhaps he may just allow Ryouma to participate in their hunt for these shinobi. But before then, there were some things he wanted to put the kid through before throwing him into this type of mission. You could call it a trial of some sorts. But for Ryouma it would be a simple test.
"Good to see that you've been training Ryouma." He shot a quick thumbs up at the boy. "It's time to see if you've learned anything from your training, or is that beaten face of yours just there for he hell of decoration..."

From the moment he was brought on as a passing subject in the two shinobi's conversation, Ryouma slowly brought himself to a stop. More out of curiosity then anything, he kept his mouth shut and his ears open, listening to their idle banter up until the point that the ground beneath his feat gave away to the shiny metallic slab. "well isn't this just my lucky damned day" He could only shake his head and square off his shoulders as Juno made his statement, hell he even cracked a wild grin at the prospect of being able to wreak some more damage about the place. It was the only kind of fun he could get these days. "And just when I thought my day could not get any better. I mean, it was plenty fun enough when I got to trounce on some of the other genin for getting cocky, but this is just too delicious." Turning about on his heel, Ryouma pulled free a food pill from his body and greedily snapped it up into his mouth, replenishing his body with chakra and stamina for the on coming trials ahead of him. "Now then give me what ever you got and I will give ya a show you will not soon forget." With full intent of keeping to his word, Ryouma pulled his shields free of his hips, and gripped them tightly against his arms as he steadily crouched down into an low offensive stance, looking ready to pounce on either of the elder shinobi given the first chance to do so.

Juno looked in the direction of the Petrified Forest, noticing an array of birds that had lifted from the area. Apparently something had happened there. Seeing the curious expression on Juno's face, a shinobi would approach him and inform him of what took place in the area. "Damn Rengoru. Again?" He shook his head in disappointment. This was the third battle he had lost. Of course everyone had there wins and losses, but three times in a row was something that could not be ignored. "Thanks for the information." He told the shinobi. The shinobi would nod in return before taking his leave. With that he pocketed his hands before turning to Reyo. "You here that Reyo? Word is that Rengoru got his a** handed to him by the Water God. They say after the lost he got demoted to Chunin. Never really here that happening around the village. Must be pretty hard for the kid." He shrugged. "Ah well, he's got quite the journey ahead of him if he wants to participate in the Jounin Tournament soon." He yawned before bringing his attention back on Ryouma. "Oh? You still here kid." He had completely forgot about that the kid had been standing right there. "Hmm? What was I saying again?" His scratched his head. "Ah your training." In some ways, the situation involving Rengoru would work to Ryouma's benefit. There were some things he had in mind for Ryouma. With Ryouma's fighting style, he could easily develop something for the kid. But there were some things he wanted to test out with Ryouma before they could reach that plateau. The boy had to be qualified in order to even begin to get close to getting to the next level. His initial plan had been for him to face off against Rengoru, but since Rengoru was more than likely in the hospital, he had something else in mind for him. Juno smiled in particular on this one.
"You're going to fight up against both myself and Reyo. That's your training. If you can manage to land a hit on both me and Reyo then you pass." He concluded. "Nah I'm just messing with you kid." He laughed. There would be no way for this kid to land a hit on both Juno and Reyo unless they took it easy on him, which Juno had not planned on doing in any of Ryouma's training. In order to succeed in a training match of that caliber, Ryouma would need an extra partner, someone that had a bigt more strategy than this knucklehead. "I'm going to allow you to travel to the Leaf" Juno was serious this time. He wanted Ryouma to experience the world a bit before he entered the exams. He didn't want foreign environments along with alien jutsus to to cripple his ability to be effective in combat. He wanted to take all the necessary precautions and steps to make sure this boy could give it his all when his time came. "You're going to be escorted by two Flame Shinobi just to make sure you make a safe journey. Don't get this mistaken. They will only be there to see you through and back. So they will not be walking alongside you, but from the distance. You're going to be on your own from hear on out." He nodded. "There you will find shinobi of your rank and age. You will challenge them, and you will bring back results. I expect them to be good kid."
