A Little Sightseeing? †(Open)†

[Silver Storm]

Music could be heard in the distance. The type of music that only could be played by one person. The type of person who decides to put an electrical charge through guitar. The type of guitar that can endure countless blows and still play perfectly. The guitar belonged to the man they call The Mizukage, Shinsei Kangen.

Shinsei walked through the streets without his traditional Mizukage clothes. He wore a plain blue shirt and plain blue pants. He wore sunglasses to disguise his purple eyes that might have given him away for who he was. Luckily, everyone was busy with their day and didn't pay attention to the man who was playing a guitar. As he walked, Shinsei made mental notes on certain parts about the Land Of Waves. There were a couple of things that needed attention like broken buildings that were neglected. Shinsei would have to talk with someone about these things.

Growing tired of the current tune he was playing, Shinsei quickly changed it into something he just made up. Unfortunately, this new tune attracted attention so Shinsei had to get away from where he was. When he finally got away from the crowd, Shinsei looked around and realized he had never been to this part of the Land of Waves. He quickly decided he should take advantage of this and do some sightseeing.

After three hours, Shinsei began to notice he was in familiar territory. In fact, five more minutes of walking and he would be in front of the Great Naruto Bridge. Smiling to himself, Shinsei walked towards the bridge. As he approached, Shinsei's eyes narrowed as he saw that the bridge was overcrowded with people. He quickly located a space near the edge of the bridge and sat there. Sighing, Shinsei changed the tune he was playing to something slower and more peaceful.

[Akira;;Nori]

Nori walked silently across the Great Naruto Bridge, thinking of the fight with the Hyouton Haku and Uzumaki Naruto. Her gaze was across the bridge and to the spot of where the Crystal Ice Mirrors were made by Haku, trapping Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto inside it. Nori couldn't help but smile. It had been the time with Haku was one of the last Hyoutons. She was so caught up in those thoughts that she didn't even notice that Mizukage's tunes...

Nori's head tilted a little bit as the tune grew louder and louder. The Mizukage was going to the Great Naruto Bridge... Nori sighed as she continued walking forward and stopped in front of the kage. "Lord Mizukage..." Nori said quietly, bowing her head slightly. What a good timing. She was just about to go to his office. "Lord Mizukage, if you don't mind...I was actually concerned of the missions of the village." She paused, waiting for any reply from the Kage.

Hearing someone's voice, Shinsei turned to see it was a fellow shinobi. When he heard his name, Shinsei took off his sunglasses and crushed them instantly. He listened until Nori finished speaking before he even made another move. After she finished, Shinse's eyes narrowed and he became annoyed.

He thought to himself, Your worried about missions? d**nit! I'm bloody concerned about a civil war erupting in my village. I also have to freakin worry about my own villagers blowing up my village!. My only day off in seven months and you come here talking to me about this?!?! I have half a mind to send you off to go attack akatsuki by yourself and kill each and every member! Of course Shinsei didn't say any of this out loud because he feared it would lead up to problems.

Sighing, he quickly calmed himself before speaking. "Missions huh? Well what are you concerned about? The fact that we don't have many missions going on?" Shinsei thinks to himself again, I can tell you why we don't have a lot of mission. I'm so busy with my work and trying to get alliances going on that i don't have any time for them! Do you expect me to take off time from my painstaking work to think of a few missions. If my staff wasn't so useless then we would have missions. Shinsei's expression became annoyed again and now he was wondering what could possibly make this day get worse.

[Akira;;Nori]

Nori could feel her c.ocky tank rise 1%. There was the Mizukage being Mizukage-like again. She tried her best to supress the anger and annoyance. "All I'm concerned about is how most of the stupid ninja in this village haven't come back from their missions yet, and that most of them are creating havoc everywhere they go." She said bitterly. "Civil war or not, you should worry about some Jounin getting caught by other border ninja because then making alliances with those countries would be a waste of time." Nori knew about the Mizukage's work. She wasn't the only one sneaking around for information on the other villages.

[Silver Storm]

After hearing her speak, Shinsei almost busted out laughing. "first of all, if my jounin get captured by some pathetic border ninja then thats their problem. If course I'll send a few ninja squads to try to locate them, but even I know that those chances are really slim." Of course Shinsei was lying. He would never talk trash about his jounin, but he wanted to see the girl's reaction.

Shinsei smiled and said under his breath "alliances..you really don't know anything do you?" He then replied more loudly so Nori could hear him,"If I was going to create an alliance with a village that didn't capture my jounin, then i would be making an alliance with only Sunagakure. And in case you didn't know, the Kazekage isn't a friendly man at all."

"As for a civil war, I have a plan on how to stop that." Shinsei wondered about how little Nori knew. Apparently, all the false information he told everyone and the false files actually tricked everyone. He then asked Nori "is there anything important you came here to talk about? Or are you just planning on having a friendly talk? If you choose the latter, I know an excellent ninja you could talk to. When Shinsei mentioned the word "ninja" he was actually thinking about the genin they call Touketsu.

Rolling his eyes, Shinsei started to play his guitar again. the meeting with Nori was actually making him wish he never came here. A sudden thought popped into Shinsei's head. What if he could re-create the Seven Swordsman of the Mist? The old Mizukage disbanded them because he wanted to be a dictator, but since Shinsei was Mizukage, he could re-create them. A slight smile appeared on Shinsei's face, apparently this meeting wasn't a waste after all.

[Akira;;Nori]

Unlike the Mizukage, Nori laughed. It was a humorless laugh, like she didn't really mean it to happen. "If you are really confident about ending or preventing the dumb civil war, then maybe you should only allie with Suna." Nori did not really make her point there, but she was she the Mizukage could figure something out from that. Shinsei had possibly ignored her as he started playing his guitar again. Nori could feel her eyeballs move to one side and managed to stop them before they took the full turn of "rolling". She couldn't help but roll them. "By the way," She added as she noticed the guitar's tune falter a bit although she didn't know why. "Konoha send their laughs." Laughs--what a weird thing to say. But Nori couldn't have another word that described it best. Glancing at her kage sourly, she turned around and started walking back to the bridge.

Shinsei sighed. The youth today has no respect for anything, nor do they know anything nowadays. They don't realize that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but plenty of knowledge is more dangerous if it is not understood When he heard the words "dumb war", he became disappointed in Nori. Even his facial expression showed that he was sad.

"No civil war is dumb. Both sides fight for what they believe. Both sides have the right to fight for what they believe. We must not forget ourselves and call a civil war dumb. If we do, then we call everyone who fights for it dumb and we call the nation dumb. If you can honestly say it is dumb, then you might as well get out of my sight right now. I will not tolerate a jounin calling those who fight for a better cause dumb." Shinsei spoke what he believed, he spoke what his heart felt and he meant every last word that he said. Shinsei let out another deep sight and replied "If your going to talk to me about alliances or anything of the sort, then you should understand what your talking about. Your just making a fool out of yourself."

Shinsei now started to play a sad-ish tune on his guitar. He didn't understand why, but he had expected more from Nori. "as for Konoha, do you honestly think I give a d**n about what they think? If you do, your sadly mistaken." Shinsei looked up in the sky. The sky was now fully covered with storm clouds. ironic he thought.

A slow drizzle now started. Shinsei didn't care, he loved the rain and he loved to be outside in it. The rain was one of the only things that could truly calm him down from something. He looked up in the sky and let the rain wash his face. As the rain hit his face, Shinsei waited to see what Nori would do and say.
