Chapter 7: Chapter 3 The Coming Storm Part three
Personality wise Hamrio was a confident young man borderline cocky he also rarely lost his calm exterior and was quite intelligent for his age although he was also eager for action and to prove himself in battle, he was the most gifted user in his Clan fighting style and Bloodline where he master all his Clans techniques and created some of his own which proved that he was ready to be Clan head. Hamrio only real defect was that he loved to flirt with pretty girls which made all the worse since he was quite popular with the girls due to his good looks and cool personally although he did know when to get serious and this War Council meeting was one of those times when he got serious.
Hamrio had black spiky hair and had metal piercings on his ears and above his left eye; he also had dark brown eyes. He wore a light brown jacket and jeans and a blood red shirt underneath his jacket he also had black boots on and carried a heavy metal skull chain around his neck and a metal chain around his waist so that he have metal to manipulate if caught in battle unprepared.
Yūki Nadie was the leader of the Yūki Clan; the Yūki Clan had been created when large number of people had been subjected to experiments by The Godaime Raikage scientists during the Civil War to try and create new Bloodlines by experimenting with people genes with different experiments and using experimental formals on them. In the end the experiments hundreds of people died from them and two new Bloodlines were created the first was the Yūki Clan's Bloodline which enabled it members to pass through solid matter without harm. When this first Bloodline was created The Godaime Raikage order his scientists create more people with this ability so to create an entire Clan of the perfect Assassins.
During that time two hundred and twenty people were given this ability and were trained to use it to it full extent. Fortunately Denkou (what The Rokudaime Raikage was called before he became The Raikage) and the Rebels Factions found out about the experiments and attacked the base where the experiments were being done and freed all those who were being experimented on after which they quickly joined the Rebel Factions to get revenge on The Godaime Raikage for what he did to them and for all their friends and families that died during the experiments.
After the Civil War all those with the ability to pass through solid matter without harm decided to form a Clan and decided to call their Clan the Yūki Clan and call their ability Tsuuka no Iki (The Passing through Spirit limit). They then madeNadie their leader since she was the one to gather them together as a Clan and she was the first one to have this ability.
Nadie was a young women who was highly intelligent as well as caring, respectful to other and quit witty, she was also highly lethal in combat and at using her abilities to their full extent in which she earned the nickname Rei (Ghost). She wore traditional brown Shinobi pants and sandals as well as brown hooded jacket with a fishnet shirt underneath it and two wrist blades on each arm for quickly silently killing any enemies.
Ishida Ryūken was the leader of the Ishida Clan and like the Yūki Clan the Ishida Clan had been created due to experiments by The Godaime Raikage scientists on people to create new Bloodlines the Ishida Bloodline was the second to be created. The new Bloodline that the Ishida Clan could use was the ability to create weapons out of Chakra it allowing them to pierce or slice through any armour or weapon. They also had large amount of Chakra reserves and all had flawless control over it, the more skilled members could even draw Chakra from around them if they were low on Chakra. When The Godaime Raikage heard of these abilities he ordered for more like them to be created and trained to use their new abilities much like with the Yūki Clan in which two hundred and seventy people were given these abilities. When the base that they were being held was liberated by the Rebel Factions they joined the Rebel Factions for much of the same reason as the Yūki Clan did.
After the Civil War all those with the abilities to create weapons out of Chakra decided to form the Ishida Clan and decided to call their ability the Reiryoku no Soujuu (Manipulating Spirit Power limit). They also decided to makeRyūken as the Clan head since he was the most powerful of all it members of the new Clan.
To most people Ryūken was a cold man who cared for noting yet those that knew him knew he cared deeply for Clan and family since it was his reasonability to lead and protect them. He did not speak much and would only make his opinion know when it was needed or asked he was also the very serious type of man who would take any threat to the safety of his Clan or Kumo very serious.
Ryūken wore a typical outfit that all Ishida Clan members wore which was a white, form-fitting, high-collared tunic with a blue cross symbol on his back, which was frequently on all the Ishida Clan members uniforms.
Zhao Yun was leader of the Yun Clan who before the Civil War were consider the most powerful Clan in Kaminari no Kuni (and are still considered that by many). The Yun Clan was also one of the five only know Clans to have a bloodline (before the Civil War started although that changed when it ended) the Yun Clan Bloodline was called Ryuton (Dragon Release) which gave them increase strength, speed and power as well as to be able to transform into humanoid like Dragons increasing their power exponentially they even had a summoning contract for Dragons.
Although considered by many as Ninja Clan the Yun Clan fought more like Samurai than Ninja's since they wore armour in battle and use weapons like spears, axes's and long swords in battle although they also use Ninjutsu and had their own types of Ninjutsu. Also the Yun Clan were not a Clan in Kumo but were a Clan that served and protected the Royal family of Kaminari no Kuni although some members joined Kumo to be Ninja's.
During the Civil War the Yun Clan fought for Daimyo Yoshiaki even when it was learned that he was the one who had his brother and his family murdered as well as many of their kin's men and women who were with Daimyo Dōsan and his family when they were killed, this was because they were swore to protect and serve the Satake Royal Family. But when it was learned that the Lady Kicho had survived the attack and was with the Rebel Factions to overthrow her Uncle and reclaim Kaminari no Kuni they quickly left and joined the Rebel Factions with as many warriors and Samurai that were loyal to Lady Kicho father.
After the Civil War Zhao Yun was made the captain of Lady Daimyo Kicho Royal guard, later on the Yun Clan became an official Clan of Kumo where half of the Clan were Ninja's under The Raikage and the other half were the guardians of Lady Daimyo Kicho and served her.
Zhao Yun was a man that was held in high regard by everyone in Kaminari no Kuni and Kumo and was one of the Great War hero's of the Civil War he was a man held Honour, Virtue and Justice as the most important things. He was an extremity trustworthy man whom people could always depended on and was fearless and would never give up hope even against the most impossible odds. He was an extremely handsome man where women would often flock to see him he wore (9) he also carried an extendable spear that could be easily carried on a utility belt and when taken out and flick the switch on it, it would extend into a long spear (10). He even earned the Nickname the Ryugin no Kumo (The Silver Dragon of Cloud).
After the Clan heads all arrived two more people came in they were Lu Xun and Hiki Kanewho commanded Kumo Air forces.
Lu Xun was the Commander of the Air fleet of Kumo and Kaminari no Kuni although he was young he was a highly skilled Strategist and a former apprentice to Zhou Yu.
Like Zhou Yu, Lu Xun fought against the Rebel Factions and for Daimyo Yoshiaki and The Godaime Raikage he was a highly skilled user in Fire techniques like Zhou Yu but wasn't a Ninja he was also skilled in double sword fighting.
When the Civil War ended he was pardon for fighting against the Rebel Factions and was even given command of Kumo new Airship fleet due to earning respect from the Rebels Faction for treating all Prisoners respectfully and honouring the code of conduct in War by not targeting Civilian cities and villages much like his sensei Zhou Yu.
Lu Xun was a formal and humble person, he was also quick witted and perceptive and believed in seeing the big picture. His outstanding talents and youthful energy helped inspire those around him. Where he always tried to see the best in every person, be they ally or foe. He'd address disasters with a prudent and sincere manner, always strived for an optimistic solution to the situation. Lu Xun wore (11)
Hiki Kane was the Commander of Kumo Sky Hawk Ninja's which was a special force of Ninja trained to use special Portable Wing Gliders that would fold up on a person back like a backpack and then extend like Wings when launch into the air through specially built catapults on the Airships, Fortress ships (12) and on the ground. The Sky Hawk Ninja's could then glide through the air firing bombs, Kunai's and Jutsu's down on the enemy or even fly over enemy walls and scout for enemies from the air (13). They could even feed a small portion of the Chakra into the Portable Wing Gliders through the special Chakra absorbing metal that the Portable Wing Gliders were made out of to keep them in the air even if their was not much Wind in the air. It worked on a very similar manner of the Sky Ninja's Gliders but unlike theirs the Sky Hawk Ninja Portable Wing Gliders did not need much chakra to keep them in the air since the Portable Wing Gliders were not as heavy as the Sky Ninja's Gliders although despite that the Portable Wing Gliders were not as fast or manoeuvrable as the Sky Ninja's Gliders.
Kane was one of the first Ninja's to become a Sky Hawk Ninja and was a top ace flyer when in the air in which he quickly became the unit first Commander. He was energetic young man who was almost fanatically loyal to Kumo and The Raikage he was also quickwitted and eager to go on mission yet he also could analogize a situation very quickly and stay calm in even the most stressful situations. Kane wore a standard ANBU outfit with body armour, black vest and Shinobi pants.
Soon after Lu Xun and Hiki Kane,Unohana Retsu and YoukaiMasato (who appeared by Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)) entered the room.
Unohana Retsu was the head of Kumo Hospitals and of it Medical-nin corp. Retsu was not from Kumo or Kaminari no Kuni she was a travelling medic who travelled around the Element Continent treating people for any illness or injury.
During the Civil War in Kumo and Kaminari no Kuni she was able to get into the Country before the boarders were sealed in which she then started to treat Ninja's. Warriors and Samurai alike on both sides for wounds they had gotten from battle since she did not care who they fought for if they were injured and needed help she would help them. She even took in and trained my young people who had been orphaned due to the Civil War as her apprentices to help her when caring and healing the wounded or sick. She would often go to a battlefield when a battle was over and treat the wounded, in which she had saved many lives that, would have died had it not been for her it was because of this that she earned the nickname ChiyunoMegami (Goddess of Healing). Thanks to her healing and saving so many lives on both sides she earned the respect ofhundredsNinja's, Warriors and Samurai alike on both sides even when Daimyo Yoshiaki and The Godaime Raikage ordered their men to attack her or one of her medical stations that she had setup with her apprentices, most of the time the commanders and the men would refuse or make up excuses to not attack out of respect and gratitude for what she had done for them.
Although she was a Healer Retsu was also a Shinobi and at highly skilled one at that since when she was younger she had met with Tsuande the Slug Princess when she was on her travels with her apprentice Shizune where she was able to get her to agree to train her. Retsu spent several years training under Tsunade learning everything that Tsunade was willing to teach her and after several years she parted ways with Tsuande to become a great medic on her own. From her training with Tsuande, Retsu became a highly skilled medic-nin in both healing and in combat which she had shown when on a few occasions she defended herself or her patients from Daimyo Yoshiaki and The Godaime Raikage men whom later greatly regretted following Daimyo Yoshiaki and The Godaime Raikage orders due to the massive beatings they got from fighting her since it had been rumoured that Retsu was on par with Tsuande herself in healing and in fighting.
Although despite this Retsu did not like to hurt or kill people she considered herself a Healer first and a Shinobi second saying "It is easily to destroy something or take lives but to save lives and heal others is harder which is why it is the better".
Retsu had a gentle and warm personality that augments her appearance. She was soft-spoken, polite, and a caring woman who used honorifics when addressing everyone, including her subordinates and enemies. She rarely showed any signs of panic or distress, and had a great sense of duty when it came to healing people. With her grace and kind manners, she would also let others know quietly that while she may be soft, she was not to be taken lightly. Since despite her gentle nature, many Shinobi, Samurai and Warriors feared her that included her fellow Commanders and even The Raikage himself would not wish to be on the receiving of her wrath. Since according to most of the Commanders, respectively, she can be extremely frightening and terrifying all at the same time since many people agreed that they would never want to get on her bad side (most stating that fighting the Kyuubi himself and being destroyed by it would be a much more preferable fate than being on her bad side).
When the Civil War ended The Raikage asked her to join Kumo and become head of it Hospital's he even offered her the chance to setup a medic-nin programme and give her complete control over it, Retsu agreed to the offer although she also had some other conditions which The Raikage agreed to. The programme had created with the help of her apprentices a large number of medic-nin's and it became policy for each Shinobi team to have a medic-nin on it which was proving to be a highly successful in reducing the loss of Shinobi's on missions.
YoukaiMasato was the head of CIND he was an expert in infiltration, Assassination and at gathering Information as well as misleading people with false Information. Masato was not from Kumo he was originally from the streets of Ta no Kuni he was then taken in by Orochimaru since he had shown Orochimaru that he had some potential as a Ninja. He was then experimented on by Orochimaru who implanted some cells of a demon (which he had gotten from the corpse of a dead demon) into his body to see if he could create a Ninja's with the powers of a demon. The Experiments had worked in which Masato had increased speed, strength, agility and power as well as being able to transform into a demon like creature, but when Masato found out what Orochimaru had done to him he destroyed the lab and the research on the project and then fled but not before vowing to one day make Orochimaru pay for what he did to him.
For several years he roamed alone travelling around the Elemental Continent and training himself eventually he arrived in Kaminari no Kuni just when the Civil War started and was force to hid in the mountains since the boarders of the Country were blocked and no one could get out or in. Eventually at some point when hiding from a large force of Ninja's loyal to the The Godaime Raikage, Denkou (The name The Rokudaime Raikage went by before he became The Raikage) had been wounded from an earlier fight and came across the cave that Masato was hiding in. Masato helped give Denkou some medical aid to help him heal his wounds, over the following days hiding from the enemy Ninja's Denkou and Masato talked and got to know one another eventually they became friends since they found that they had a lot in common with one another, eventually Denkou asked Masato to join him and the Rebel Factions and use his abilities to help them free Kumo and Kaminari no Kuni, at first Masato was unwilling to join but eventually he agreed to help and use his abilities to great extent where he earned the nickname Youkai Ni (The Red Phantom).
After the Civil War The Raikage made him the head of CIND where he used his various underground contacts that he had gained from his travels to great extent to help Kumo and the Heavenly Alliance.
Masato was a naturally a loner as well as a Dark brooder and often brooded over what he had become and carried many burdens and secrets. But despite his cold personality, he was not uncaring he was actually a very caring person especially for his friends. He fiercely despised Orochimaru for his various immoral actions to him and other poor victims. Masato was also reluctant to speak much, although whenever he did he typically had something very important to say. He was also very close to The Raikage, and his bodyguards Nii Yugito, Fū and Killer Bee as well had a very good relationship with the Yūki and Ishida Clans (mainly due that he knew what it was like to be experimented on).
Also despite what he thought of himself Masato was a very attractive man which had earned him the attention of many women he had crimson eyes and long black hair that streams about a bit wildly at times. He wore a red band over his head with his bangs emerging over it. Although his most distinctive feature was his tattered red cape, that was held in place over his shoulders and lower face by several buckles. Underneath his cape, Masato's attire was black with several straps and buckles and pointed metallic boots. He also wore a golden gauntlet on his left arm and carried twin short swords on his back.
Right after Retsu and Masato had arrived Shihōin Urahara Kisuke and Yue Ying arrived in the room.
Shihōin Urahara Kisuke was the Co head of Research and development department where he development several different machine and weapons for the Village for example he was the one who developed the Kumo submarines as well as several other things and with Yue Ying help helped redesigned the Airships plans that they got from Yuki no Kuni (Snow Country).
Kisuke was Yoruichi husband before the Civil War had started and was already head of Research and development department but due to the limited budget that Kumo had in that department he could not create the machines he could now. Both he and Yoruichi knew each other since childhood and were close friends and eventually dated one another and just before the Civil War started they married.
During the Civil War Kisuke had helped develop several different items that were of great use to the Rebel Factions such as a special food pill that kept a Shinobi full for three full days without any need of food as well as kept them energise with little side effect. After the Civil War he was made Co head of Research and development department were he continued to build machines and weapons for Kumo.
Kisuke was laid-back, jovial person who often made jokes about things, but despite that he also had another side to his personality where he would be deceptive, cunning, and serious when the situation demanded for it. Also despite his care-free attitude, he always spoke politely, but was sometimes sarcastic. As well as sometimes over the top with whatever he becomes passionate about something.
Kisuke wore traditional wooden sandals and a bucket hat; he also wore dark green pants with matching dark green shirt and a dark greyish-green coat, having large white diamond patterns along its bottom half.
Yue Ying was also Co head of Research and development department much like Kisuke she was also the wife of Zhuge Liang (the Prime Minister of Kaminari no Kuni and head of the Council of Kumo and advisor to both Lady Daimyo Kicho and The Rokudaime Raikage). She was a very beautiful women with long red hair that went down to her hips although despite her beauty she was an highly skilled Shinobi and a extremely intelligent women and created many machines and weapons such as the Portable Wing Gliders and their launchers as well as other things.
Like Zhuge Liang she did not come from this Country she and her husband had only came when Zhuge Liang and her students had pleaded them to help them fight with the Rebel Factions. Eventually after the Country was freed and one of their students became The Raikage (both she and Zhuge Liang were The Rokudaime Raikage teachers as well before he became The Rokudaime Raikage) they were asked to stay and help build the Heavenly Alliance which eventually both she and her husband agreed to stay.
Yue Ying wore a green knee high outfit, with heeled boots and black gloves that leaves some of her fingers uncovered and wielded portable extendable spear and a bow and arrow.
After Yue Ying and Kisuke had arrived and sat down in their seats at the War Council table Lady Daimyo Kicho herself arrived with her Bodyguard Naomasa Katsumoto.
Lady Daimyo Kicho was the Daimyo of Kaminari no Kuni she a extremely beautiful women and was a graceful maiden who had excellent martial arts skills in which she was also highly skilled in sword fighting since she had been trained in the Samurai arts from a very young age and took to it very quickly.
Unlike most other princess she preferred to train for combat since her father believed that everyone in his family should be able to defend themselves and not always relay on others to defend them. She was also quite intelligent and wiser than most people her age and wanted to do what was best for her people especially after the Civil War in her Country. When her family was attacked by the Amako Clan Ninja's she had tried to help defend her family but were eventually overwhelm fortunately her teacher and bodyguard Naomasa Katsumoto was able to help her escape and hid her as the Civil War wage since he feared that she would be Assassinated by either side so that they could gain power. But during the Civil War the Naomasa Clan castle was attacked by followers of Daimyo Yoshiaki fortunately Rebel Shinobi's lead by Denkou (The name The Rokudaime Raikage went by before he became The Raikage) arrived and saved them. When they learned that Kicho was the daughter of Daimyo Dōsan and rightful ruler of Kaminari no Kuni they immediately promised her their support to help her reclaim her throne as Daimyo of Kaminari no Kuni.
When she revealed herself to people of Kaminari no Kuni Daimyo Yoshiaki tried to discredit her stating that she was a imposter but it had failed and she was able to gain the support of Yun clan as well as many Warriors, Samurai and Samurai lords that had been loyal to her father including her cousin (from her mother side) Masamune Date also know as the Azure Dragon or The Dokuganryū (The one-eye Dragon) who was the most powerful Samurai Lord of Kaminari no Kuni.
During the Civil War she personal lead her forces many times in battle and earned the nickname Oujokuchō (Death Butterfly) due to the butterfly symbol she wore on her breastplate. When they won the Civil War she made Denkou The Rokudaime Raikage and with his help and the help of other Countries that The Raikage was able to get support from they were able to the rebuild both Kumo and Kaminari no Kuni and created the Heavenly Alliance.
Kicho wore (14) she also carried an O-Katana on her side and carried a set of Kuni on her right leg in a leg holder.
Naomasa Katsumoto was leader of the Naomasa Samurai Clan and Personal Bodyguard and teacher to Lady Daimyo Kicho. He had served Kicho father for many years and fought through many battles where he had earned great fame from his battles and was highly respect by many Samurai both in Kaminari no Kuni and around the Elemental Continuant. He was very loyal to Kicho since he considered Kicho like a daughter due to knowing her since she was very young, during the attack on the Royal family Kastumoto tried to protect them but they were overwhelmed, Daimyo Dōsan (who had been mortally wounded in the battle) had order him to get Kicho out and protect her with his life which he sworn to do and was just able to get her out. For four years of the Civil War he was able to keep her hidden until Daimyo Yoshiaki men attacked his castle since the Naomasa Clan refused to join him and were staying neutral. When they were saved by Denkou and his Rebels forces he had been naturally suspicious since he feared that they might try and use the Princess to gain power or kill her before she became a threat to them but thankfully he had been proven wrong since Denkou prove to be an honourable man. Thanks to his help they were able to rebuild both Kumo and Kaminari no Kuni in just a few years and formed a powerful Alliance with other nations to help one another.
Kasumoto wore traditional crimson red Samurai armour and carried an O-Katana on his side.
"Lady Daimyo Kicho what are you doing here? We did not expect you to come to this meeting" said Zhao Yun as he and the other members of the War Council stood up and bowed to the Lady Daimyo in respect as she sat own on the seat on the pedestal over looking the War Council.
"I came here due to The Raikage informing me that this War Council meeting was being held and that I should attend it. I hope you all do not mind me listening in?" said Kicho
"Of course not Lady Daimyo you are more than welcome" said Zhao Yun
When Lady Daimyo Kicho sat down seven more people arrived one of them four of them were the Personal Bodyguards of The Raikage they were Nii Yugito, Fuu, Killer Bee and Okatsu all of which except for Okatsu were Jinchuurikis. One of other two was Zhuge Liang Prime Minister of Kaminari no Kuni and head of the Council of Kumo and advisor to both Lady Daimyo Kicho and The Rokudaime Raikage and the other person next to him was Seiwa Anisu the Kumo no Aisuryuu the personal military advisor to The Raikage and second in command for all military matters in Kumo and answerable to only The Rokudaime Raikage and the final person among the group was The Raikage himself.
Okatsu was confident, strong and intelligent Konoichi she was also was a dedicated and loyal Ninja who would glad give up her life for The Raikage. Although unlike the other Bodyguards of The Raikage Okatsu was not a Jinchuuiki she was a typical but highly skilled Konoichi. Also she was not originally from Kumo or Kaminari no Kuni, she was from a small Country who lord was deposed in a revolt and her Clan (which was also small) had been wiped out due to they were loyal to the lord and she had just managed to escape.
After her escape of her Clan slaughter she had travel for a while offering her services as a Ninja's to small lords and Daimyo's but during one mission she had been captured by a group of missing-nin's due to her getting bad Intel of their strength and numbers. They had beating her badly and had planned on raping her but fortunately before they could The Raikage (this was before he even entered the Civil War in Kumo and Kaminari and Kuni and before he became Raikage) and Seiwa Anisu had heard her screams for help as they tried to rape her.
They quickly killed the men and The Raikage helped nurse her back to help from her wounds he had even stayed by her sides when she slept since she had suffered from nightmares of her Clan being killed and what had nearly happened to her.
After she had healed she had practically insisted only following them since she had told them that they had saved her life and saved her from being raped hence her life was theirs or more especially The Raikage for staying by her side for so long and helping to heal her.
She travelled with them for a while and when they entered the Civil War she earned great respect and fame for her skills as a Konoichi in battle. After the Civil War ended The Raikage offered her the position as one of his Bodyguards which she took without hesitation since it was what she had wanted.
Okatsu wore (15) and carried a Katana on her lower back.
Nii Yugito was a proud, wise and courageous Kunoichi, she was also a firm young woman and thoughtful of her comrades. She had been made into a Jinchuuiki when she was only two and went through a detestable training that was imposed on her although through it she was able to control her transformation into the Nibi no Bakeneko (The Two Tailed Monster Cat) and use its power to it full extent she also gained confidence in herself through hard work. She had been loyal to both Kumo and The Yondaime Raikage before the Civil War started and was considered the second strongest Shinobi in Kumo.
When the Civil War started she fought for The Godaime Raikage along with the Killer Bee the Jinchuuiki of the Hachibi no Kyogyū (The Eight Tailed Giant Ox) but this had not been of choice since when The Godaime Raikage first came into power he had special Juinjutsu (Cursed Seal Techniques) seals put on them so that he could control them and force them to do what he wanted them to do. For the first four years of the Civil War Yugito used her powers against the Rebel Factions which had nearly caused the Rebel Factions to be wiped out. But when Denkou (The name The Raikage took before he become The Raikage) united the Rebel Factions he was able to beat back the forces of The Godaime Raikage and Daimyo Yoshiaki on several occasions. But it was not until the battle of Mikatagahara which was often referred as The Storm Battle on the Great Plains where the tide turned it was where she and Killer Bee fought Denkou while the combined forces of The Godaime Raikage and Daimyo Yoshiaki fought the combined forces of the Rebel Factions on the other end of the plain.
During the battle a massive storm arrived in the middle of the battle and Denkou used it to use his most power attack that defeated her, Killer Bee and wiped out all three thousand of Daimyo Yoshiaki reinforcements (who had arrived to assist in the battle) with a single attack. With the reinforcements wiped out and their Jinchuuiki's defeated The Godaime Raikage and Daimyo Yoshiaki and their forces had no choice but to retreat since they were beginning to lose the battle. The attack that Denkou used had also nearly killed them but lucky with their Bijuu they were able to heal their injuries, soon after the battle Denkou with the help of his Sensei Zhuge Liang was able to remove the seals her and Killer Bee had on them after which they joined the Rebel Factions.
Soon after the Civil War she, Okatsu and Killer Bee were made the Personal Bodyguards of The Rokudaime Raikage and when the Heavenly Alliance was formed they were then joined by another Jinchuuiki from Takigakure (The Hidden Waterfall) called Fuu who was also made the Personal Bodyguard of The Raikage.
Yugito wore a tradition ANBU outfit with black Shinobi shirt under ANBU body armour, Arm pads and Knee pads as well as Shinobi pants with a short Katana on her back.
Killer Bee was the Jinchuuiki of the Hachibi no Kyogyū he was also the younger brother of The Yondaime Raikage who was Assassinated by the Amako Clan and not only that but he was also now the current Clan head of the Yotsuki Clan since his brother was the pervious Clan head.
The Yotsuki Clan was one of Kumo founding Clans and one of the only five clans with Bloodlines in Kumo which was the Raiton (Storm Rlease) which allowed them to combined Lightning and Water to create beams of light energy and destroy anything it hits. Like Yugito he was forced to obey the orders of The Godaime Raikage and fight the Rebel Factions it was not until he was defeated by Denkou and released from the seals that made him follow The Godaime Raikage orders that he joined the Rebel Factions and became the new Clan head of the Yotsuki Clan (since they were one of the first Clans to side against The Godaime Raikage when they learned that he was the one to kill The Yondaime Raikage) and after the Civil War Killer Bee was also made the Personal Bodyguard to The Raikage.
Killer Bee was a funny enough person with a good sense of humour although he demanded respect from others such as calling him Jinchūriki-sama or Hachibi-sama he enjoyed speaking in song, more specifically in rap-style even when he was fighting enemies this of course got on people nerves, he would even stop in mid-fight to write some rhymes down which would often infuriate his enemies as well. He would spend hours on end rapping and rhyming which would further annoy people since despite how long he spent doing those things he was never any good at them. But despite his lack of skill in rapping and rhyming he was one of Kumo most powerful Shinobi's he was able to fully use and control his Bijuu power when he transformed into the Hachibi no Kyogyū, not only that he was highly skilled in Taijutsu and had incredible strength (much like his brother The Yondaime Raikage) and a master swordsman where using his own conventional style, which give him great versatility, and allowed him to fight with eight swords at once.
Killer Bee was a dark-skinned man and had possessed a muscular build, as well as white hair and beard. On his right shoulder, he had a tattoo that says "iron" and on his left cheek, he had a tattoo of a bull's horn. He wore oval-shaped sunglasses and a white- coloured forehead protector. He also wore a white-coloured one-strap-over-one-shoulder Flak Jacket of a Jonin, with a red rope tied around his waist, white hand-bands, and a white scarf around his neck and carried seven swords on his back.
Fū was also a Jinchūriki like Killer Bee and Yugito she was the Jinchūriki of the Nanabi no Kabutomushi (Seven-Tailed Horned Beetle). She was a Shinobi of Takigakure and the most power Shinobi that they had she was highly skilled in earth type Jutsu thanks to the earth controlling abilities of her Bijuu (16). She was sent to Kumo as an offering of Takigakure commitment to the Heavenly Alliance when they joined the Heavenly Alliance. Fū was a friendly person that was loyal to her people and would do anything to protect them she would often spend time gardening, which she was quite good at thanks to her abilities. She also enjoyed playing with children and always made time to play with them, she was also a very confident woman and was courageous as well and could use her abilities to great effect when fighting.
Fū has bright green hair and pink eyes. She wore a high white shirt and armlets and a fishnet waistband. She also wore her Takigakure forehead protector on her right arm and her Kumogakure on her left. She also carried a cylindrical object on her back.
Zhuge Liang was Prime Minister of Kaminari no Kuni and head of the Council of Kumo and advisor to both Lady Daimyo Kicho and The Rokudaime Raikage hence he was one of the most powerful and respected men in all of Kumo and Kaminari no Kuni. He was a wise strategist with unsurpassed intelligence he was known to many as the Nemuriryu (Sleeping Dragon) due to like a sleeping dragon no-one would dare to challenge him for if they did like a dragon when he wakes he would utterly destroy them with his incredible power.
Zhuge Liang was a master Genjutsu user (which shows where he hid New Kumogakure under a powerful Genjustsu Cloud) and was also a master at using different Jutsu's and combining them to make them more powerful it is rumoured that Zhuge Liang skill and power at using Jutsu's was on par with the late Shinobi no Kami (God of Shinobi) Sarutobi HiruzenThe Sandaime Hokage. Zhuge Liang was also a master strategist where many rulers of other nations had often tried to have him under their employment so to command their armies it was because of his strategies that the Rebel Factions won some of their greatest victories such as the taking of Fan Castle. Where he tricked the defenders into thinking that he had his men (who were besieging the castle) had left and ran away when the defenders had sent a large numbers of their men to pursue them he and his men revealed themselves to have hidden near by and attacked the castle when it was so lightly defended and took it without much problem while the defenders that were tricked out of the castle were ambushed and captured by some of Zhuge Liang men who hidden themselves to ambush them.
Zhuge Liang was also the former teacher of both The Raikage and Seiwa Anisu before they joined the Civil War in Kaminari no Kuni and Kumo, and when they did join the Civil War they were able to convince him and his wife Yue Ying to join the Rebel Factions and fight to free the Country.
After the Civil War Lady Daimyo Kicho asked for Zhuge Liang assistance in helping to rule her Country and asked him to be her advisor as did Denkou when he became The Rokudaime Raikage, he eventually even became head of the Council of Kumo since everyone respected his opinion and advice and was later on named the Prime Minister of Kaminari no Kuni.
Personality wise Zhuge Liang was a placid and calculating man who was always thinking one step ahead. He often stated that every turn in battle is a part of his effortless planning. He spoke with a polite and proper manner at all times, albeit terrifyingly so when he completely stumps his enemies. Though his intentions are sometimes questioned, his loyalty to his former students was unquestionable.
Zhuge Liang wore very basic robes, with yin-yang symbols on opposite sides of each other, and mostly made up of green, and mystical and golden designs and had a thin beard and moustache in a similar manner of a noble. Zhuge Liang was often seen carrying a large fan in which he uses it to create power Wind Jutsu's.
Seiwa Anisu also known as the Kumo no Aisuryuu he was the Personal military advisor to The Raikage and was second in command for all military matters. Anisu was a tall man about (6.2) he had long white hair that went down to his lower shoulder blades and would have it parted on the left side of his face. He had a slightly narrow yet handsome face with bight blue eyes. Like The Raikage and some of the other members of the War Council he was not original from Kaminari no Kuni, Anisu joined the Civil War and fought with the Rebels when they witness the atrocities that the forces of The Godaime Raikage and Daimyo Yoshiaki were doing where they decided to fight with the Rebel Factions. They were then able to convince their former Sensei's Akechi Mitsuhide and Miyoshi Saiyuri as well as Yue Ying and Zhuge Liang to join them in the fight. Both he and Denkou rose through the ranks of the Rebel Factions very quickly where Denkou was able to unite the Rebels in a powerful fighting force and helped them win many victories.
Anisu also won his share of great glory in the war where at the battle of Eagles Peak where the Rebel fleet and the fleets of The Godaime Raikage and Daimyo Yoshiaki fought, and Anisu used his Ice abilities to create a massive Ice storm to freeze over both enemy fleets and single handily wiping out two thirds of the fleets with the one Jutsu which earned him the nickname Kumo no Aisuryuu.
Anisu was originally from Mizu no Kuni he was of the Seiwa Clan who were known for their ability to create and use Ice Jutsu which forced Anisu family to go into hiding when the Bloodline Crusade began. But unfortunately his family were found and they were all killed by Bloodline hunters, and had his Sensei's Akechi Mitsuhide and Miyoshi Saiyuri not arrived and saved him he would have died as well. They then took him with them and trained him after a few years they also came across Denkou who they took in as well the two of them trained together all the time for two years and became the best of friends and friendly rivals. Eventually their Sensei's took them to Zhuge Liang to be trained by him after a few years they left together to travel and learn things on their own which was when they got involved in the Civil War in Kaminari no Kuni. After they won the Civil War, Denkou then became The Rokudaime Raikage and he became his Personal advisor and right hand man.
Many people often referred Anisu personality to be like water where he would often be calm and go with the flow, like water, but become as hard and cold as ice in battle and would kill his enemies without mercy. He was also very mature despite his personality and would get serious when the situation called for it. He would often talk and joke around with The Raikage and the two of them could be found often sparing with one another since they had a sort of rivalry in terms of getting stronger. Anisu was also extremely loyal to his friends and to his loved ones and would not hesitate to put himself in harms way to protect them.
Anisu wore a Black sleeveless shirt with black Shinobi pants and wore black boots with steel tips at its toes and heels as well as wore a white trench with the Kanji symbol for Frost on it back with blue snowflake on the edges of the trench coat. He also had a green sash around his shoulders, held together by a round clip. The sash held his long sword sheath in place on his back and is tied to it at either end. His sword was called Hyōrinmaru it blade was about 1.4 meters long with the exception of the guard, which is in the shape of a four-pointed bronze-coloured star
After everyone was seated The Raikage began the meeting
"Thank you all for coming so quickly I know that you all were busy working with your own duties but information that I have just recently received made it vital that I speak with you all now" spoke The Raikage
"What exactly is it that is so important that you had to call a War Council Raikage-sama" asked Ryu
"Two hours ago Captain Yoruichi of the BOLT division arrived in my office informing me that she was able to make contact with the Rebel Factions of Mizu no Kuni. Although she could not get an Alliance with the Rebel Factions she was able to make an agreement with them where in exchange for food and medical supplies they would agree to share information with us on the plans and movements of the Mizu Daimyo and The Godaime Mizukage forces." said The Raikage
This of course got several murmurs to go around the War Council
"But why would they not want an Alliance with us they could do with all the help they could get" asked Kane
"It simple, they don't trust us" answered Godō
"But why don't they? We have never attacked them, we share the same enemy we should help one another" Kane openly spoke
"Even though we share the same enemy once they are gone we could easily turn on them and take over Mizu no Kuni where they would have traded one corrupt and cruel ruler for another corrupt and cruel ruler or at lest that how they might see it" answered Yue Ying
"But we're not like that The Raikage built Heavenly Alliance so to unite people and insuring people are treated fairly and that nations could solve their problems peacefully" said Kane
"That may be well and true but the Rebel Factions of Mizu no Kuni know very little of use other than that The Raikage-sama wiped out an entire fleet of Mizu no Kuni and Kiri Warships with over eight thousand Mizu Warriors and Samurai along with two thousand Kiri Shinobi. They have no real reason to trust us and if we want their trust we have to earn it" said Soifon
"Captain Soifon is correct that we have to earn the trust of the Rebel Factions if we want them to be our Allies. But the matter on the Alliance between us and the Rebel Factions of Mizu no Kuni was not why I called this meeting" spoke The Raikage seriously
This caused everyone in room to be silent and listen to The Raikage
"The reason I asked you all here was because when Captain Yoruichi arrived and informed me on the agreement between us and the Rebel Factions she also informed me that on her way back she received information from Saitō Hajime leader of one of the Rebel Factions of Mizu no Kuni. He informed me that five days ago Princess Sachi of Umi no Kuni (Sea Country) was captured by a squad of Warships sent by the Daimyo of Mizu no Kuni and The Godaime Mizukage to capture her" said The Raikage
This got many shock looks from several members as well as some gasps of surprise from others and a few frowns from the more senior members.
"Are you're certain of this Raikage-san" asked Lady Kicho in a serious tone voice and was frowning in anger since she knew Princess Sachi well since they had met several times and consider each other friends.
"Yes I' am, not long after I spoke to Saitō I made contact with King Tsuki Michiru through the projection ball I gave to him when Tsuki no Kuni became our Ally. He confirmed with me that the Princess had been capture by Mizu no Kuni and Kirigakure" replied The Raikage
"Those bastards do they really think that we let them get away with kidnapping the fiancé of one of our allies" Kane spoke angrily
"Raikage-sama did they make any ransom demands for the return of the Princess to either Umi no Kuni or Tsuki no Kuni" asked Zhuge Liang calmly
"Yes when I contacted King Tsuki Michiru he had just received a message from the Mizukage and the Mizu Daimyo stating that they have capture the Princess and were holding her Prisoner until both countries agree to give full control of Muzi no Kuni and Umi no Kuni Trade Alliance to Mizu no Kuni as well as full control of their fleets to Mizu no Kuni whenever they needed them and that the Shinobi of Tsukigakure (Hidden Moon) would come to fight for Kiri whenever they called for them" stated The Raikage
"Do they really think that either of those two Countries will agree to such demands" said Hamrio angrily since it pissed him off what the Mizukage and the Mizu Daimyo were doing.
"They may have no choice she is the Princess of Umi no Kuni is well loved by her people not to mention I hardly think that her brother or her father the Umi Daimyo will let her rot in some Prison in Mizu no Kuni or even be killed for not agreeing to Kirigakure and Mizu no Kuni demands. I also don't thinks that the Prince Hikaru of Tsuki no Kuni will allow either of those things happen to his fiancé either" stated Anisu
"Raikage-sama didn't the Princess have any Shinobi bodyguards with her or have a large fleet to protect her" asked Saiyuri
"Unfortunately the Princess insisted that she only have a light guard of twenty Royal guards and a team of Konoha ninja's with no escort ships. I had offered to send ships or some teams of our own Ninja's to protect the Princess but the Umi Daimyo insisted on using Konoha Shinobi considering his pass dealings with them." answered The Raikage
"Who exactly did Konoha send to protect the Princess" asked Cai Wengi
"They sent Rock Lee also known as Konoha Nidaime no Kedakai Aoi Mōjū (Konoha's Second Prideful Green Beast) one of Konoha top Jonin fighters and husband to the Clan head of the Kurama Clan, Akimichi Choji as known as Konoha no Kyojin Keiude (Konoha Strong-Armed Giant)and heir to the head of the Akimichi Clan as well as member of the NeoIno-Shika-Cho, Yuuhi Sarutobi Kureani Konoha famed Genjutsu Specialist, former wife of the late Sarutobi Asuma of the Shugonin Jūnishi (Twelve Guardian Ninja) and Aunt to Konoha no Enkōō (Monkey King of Konoha) Sarutobi Konohamaru and Haruno Sakura also known as Konoha Chiyu Sakura (Healing Sakura of Konoha) and apprentice of The Godaime Hokage" answered The Raikage neutrally
"Huh! So much for Konoha's best" scoffed Shiden
"There is more I'm afraid it seems that the rumours of Kirigakure having volley guns from Yuki no Kuni are true and have placed them on their ships. They have even made them more compact by building hand held versions of them for their Shinobi's to carry." said The Raikage
This caused many worried looks to appear on the faces of many of the War Council Members.
"Are you certain of this Raikage-sama" asked Kisuke with a slight frown on his face.
"Yes! Saitō gave me a perfect description of what the ones on the ship looked like and they match what the large volley guns look like" said The Raikage.
"This could cause us a great deal of trouble if we do not deal with this quickly. Do we know were the Princess is being held?" asked Lu Xun.
"Yes! She being held in "The Hold"" answered Yoruichi.
This caused many people to frown since they knew that "The Hold" was the strongest Prison in all of Mizu no Kuni.
"It figures that they would put the Princess there since it is the most secure place they could put her in." said Masato.
"But the question now is what do we do?" Mitsuhide asked openly.
"Isn't it oblivious we have to rescue her we can't let Kiri or Mizu no Kuni think that they can get away with doing something like this to our allies without paying the price" shouted Gan Ning to Mitsuhide as he stood up in which he then turned to face The Raikage.
"Raikage-sama give me the order and I have a full Battle Group of our best warships ready in a day, two at the most and we take the Prison and rescue the Princess" said Gan Ning
"No! If you go there like that you will most likely be intercepted by the fleet of ships that they have station there, plus even if you break through their ships you have to deal with the Prison defences and even then the Princess could very well likely be killed or injured as you attack the base. They could even take her out of the Prison when you attack and take her to the capital of Mizu no Kuni where we would never be able to rescue her then" Kane said to Gan Ning and then turned and stood up
"Raikage-sama this is a job for my Sky Hawk-Ninja's and I, give me the word and I will lead a squadron of Airships loaded with three dozen of my best flyers to attack the Prison. While the Airships attack the Prison my men and I will fly into it and get the Princess out before the Kiri Ninja there knows what is happen" said Kane confidently
"I'm afraid that will not wok either Kane-san since most likely Kiri will have their new Volley-guns on their defence towers not to mention the ships there will have them too. Hence when the Airships are flouting around the Prison firing on the enemy they will make easy targets for Kiri volley-guns to fire upon and be shot down. Even if you have the Airships stay up high so that the volley-guns won't be able to hit them the Airships will still have to come down to pick you and your people up hence they will be shot down. Plus the Prison holds up to three hundred Prisoners and we do not even know what cell she is being held in" stated Nadie in which she turned to The Raikage
"Raikage-sama I believe this situation is best suited for the BOLT division since they are trained for quick inflations missions like this one or better yet have some of my Clan members go into the Prison and sneak into it and get the Princess out of the Prison without them ever knowing how she ever escaped" said Nadie
Many of the other members of the War Council nodded their heads in agreement likely that plan the best out of three since it had the best chance of succeeding.
"Hmmmm. Although your plan dose sounds like the best plan out of all three plans Nadie-san. I myself have a plan that could work even better where not only do we rescue the Princess but we will also get the Rebel Factions of Mizu no Kuni as our Allies as well as gain the Alliance one or two more members to join it and show everyone the strength of Kumogakure and the Heavenly Alliance since I believe it finally time for us to do so" said The Raikage
This cause many of the members to go wide eye while others raise their eyebrows in surprise since for the past three years since the Heavenly Alliance first formed they have kept their true strength hidden from the world until they were fully ready to reveal themselves now it seems that the time had come to begin to show what they were truly cable of.
"Are your certain it time Raikage-sama?" asked Byakuya to which The Raikage just nodded
"So what exactly is your plan to free the Princess and gain the Rebel Factions of Mizu no Kuni as our Allies and new members into the Heavenly Alliance in one fell swoop Raikage-sama" asked Godō The Raikage then handed out some folders that he had been carrying when he entered the War Council room. When everyone had one each he asked them to read the plan detailing what he planned to do.
After about ten minutes everyone and finish reading the plan many members had raised eyebrows in either surprise or interest. "A very bold plan Raikage-sama" said Zhao Yun "I concur although it could very well work" said Retsu
"Can we really do what it says we have to do in the time frame we have" asked Nadie
"I believe we can if Saitō and his people fulfil their end of the deal since I contacted him again before I came here to ask for the information we need and ask him his people at "The Hold" could do the other things we need them to do and he said he would get the info we need and send it by tomorrow afternoon and his people there could do the job" said The Raikage
"But still this plan relies a great deal on Saitō giving us the correct information and for his people to do the job right for all we know he may sell us out and lure use into a trap or they could ruin the plan for us altogether" said Ryūken
"I don't believe he will since Saitō gains to benefit greatly if this plan succeeds and his people are not armatures" countered The Raikage
"I have to say this is by far the most daring, reckless and bold plan I have ever come across, yet it still has a very good chance of succeeding" said Zhuge Liang with a slight amusement in his voice and a small smile on his face
"Thank you Sensei I do try not to disappoint you" said The Raikage with his own smile
"It seems that you have thought of everything in this plan which I guessing you were able to form this plan from studying with the plans on "The Hold" and the other Intel we had on it that we were able steal from Kiri. You even considered the possibility that volley guns are station on their guard towers and they may have ones hidden somewhere as well as how to delay the Shionbi's station there and cause utter confusion when we attack a very impressive Raikage-sama" said Ryu
"Well you got my vote on it since it fits my style perfectly since its bold, flashy and sends a clear message to the world what we're really cable of plus I was getting tired of us hiding away what we truly cable of." said Hamrio with a slight smirk on his face
"So dose everyone agree to my plan or shall we do Nadie-san plan instead" asked The Raikage
After a few minutes of discussing with one another the War Council voted and put to a vote where it was decided that they would go for The Raikage plan.
"Very well then by tomorrow we should have the information on the locations of all the Prisoners and who is, in what cell as well as the locations of all the volley guns there if they are there. After which we will then have two days to prepare the forces needed for the operations it then should take another two days by Airship to get to Mizu no Kuni on the third they will attack the Prison. In which hopefully Saitō people will be in place and be ready when our forces attack, and our teams will rescue the Princess and the following day the teams will met our escort fleet at the meeting point." stated The Raikage
Once everyone nodded their heads in agreement they all left to discus with themselves what will happen in the next few after everyone but The Raikage had left the War Council room but he too soon left to go home but as he did he was he was in deep thought.
"The winds of change are finally beginning to blow, soon a storm will arrive that will destroy this cruel and corrupt world that refuses to change for the better and a new peaceful and better world shall be born form it ruins" thought The Raikage as he left the War Council room
