Journey to the Hidden Leaf

Rocore decided to make his next trip by land, a long carriage ride but undoubtedly filled with lovely sights. His destination? This 'Hidden Leaf Village' word spread quickly of the four-tails attack, and meeting with the leaders of this village couldn't hurt. His wounds were healing surprisingly fast and this would open up some more trade of ninja tools and supplies between villages. Alongside the sannin was the young Uchiha, Tony.

Rocore decided it might be good to give him some training on the way. Despite his own wounds, Kurama's chakra seemed to help with healing to an incredible degree... They finally came upon the village after a brief search and check by the ninja. A runner was sent to the Hokage's office to allow them admittance or have them stay. "Hopefully we'll have more luck here than with the Mist..."

"Yea, what happened with the mist anyway?" as tony was waiting forr a response he said nvm to what he was said he was set to get this mission done to get back to his nice cloud village.

Tee was alerted that some visitors from the cloud were over at his village. Tee from his office bit his finger and bled. Tee opened up the scroll and placed his hand on it summoning his wolf. Tee told his wolf to go and greet his guests and lead them up to the Kage's place. "No problem boss" the wold responded. With that the wolf was off to greet and escort the guests.

Teru was just sitting on the wooden gate of the village, looking at Konohagakure. There were a lot of buildings, but there was construction everywhere. The people were building the village from its roots. He had not had such peace of mind in a loong time. Teru was thinking back on the hellish days back in the world war between warring clans, when he noticed someone was walking through the gate. They were clearly foreigners. The ninja who checked them found them "clean", and Teru silently approved. Then the wolf came....

Rocore wasn't wearing his usual garb, instead he looked the part of a noble lord arrayed in deep blue robes. He gave a nod to Tony and smiled, "Things went as they should have in the Mist. I'm just hoping the different circumstances here will allow for some more... Open talks. You might even learn something from this place." He gave a shrug as his eyes roamed the gates.

The wolf led them through the labyrinth of a village endless twists and turns that any foreigner could have easily got lost in. Finally the wolf stopped happily in front of a large 4 story building with a large leaf insignia on the top. As well as an eye with a dark green shade to it on the far wall of the building. "This is the Hokage's place" the wolf stated "You will find that he is on the second floor third door on your right from the staircase to your left." With that the wolf disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Right on cue the Hokage emerged from the balcony that overlooked the front of the building. "Welcome Cloud ninja" the hokage stated.

"I am the Hokage of this village obviously but you may call me Tee, may I ask your names?"

"A pleasure to meet you, Tee. I am Lord Rocore Yotsuki, of Kumogakure." He offered a smile to the man though it was a little uncomfortable looking up at him. "I've come for diplomatic and trading reasons." He stated simply then looked to Tony, the young man would need to introduce himself... Hopefully he wouldn't be too boisterous.

"It's Nice to meet you 1st hokage, My name is Anthony uchiha but everyone just calls me tony."
Then bowing down to show respect as he did the way his father taught him then lifting back up his head.

"well enough with the formalities" tee stated Anthony, Rocore come in so we can talk and perhaps come onto an agreement together.

Rocore nodded and stepped inside, "Good your father taught you well, the rest of the talks might be boring to you. But they're just as important as any training you'll ever do... You can stay with me here or see if you can get permission to look around the leaf village, the choice is yours." He stated as they moved through the Hokage's mansion and made it to his office shortly after.

"k, ill stay.There is nothing i really need here."responding to rocore then turning to the hokage "not to be rude and this isn't real part of the meeting but can i have one of your vest they look so much better then the clouds." letting out a little laugh.

Tee sat in his Kage chair as the cloud ninja made it to his office. "Welcome sit" Tee said pleasantly.

A sigh escaped him as he looked at Tony, upon entering he bowed his head and took a seat. "To start, we heard the Yonbi attacked and wished to offer our congratulations in its capture. I think all have been sealed at this point."

"Yes well it.. was ehh manageable apparently and thankfully there were no casualties." And thank you." "I have heard they have all been sealed as well." "But now that they are sealed I feel there will still be a power struggle, whoever is a jinchuriki will be targeted by somebody seeking power and that is an issue. "A Jinchuriki defense of some sort is going to be required to prevent these inevitable attacks.

starring off into space realizing he made a grave mistake coming to this meeting, still showing respect however he bows "nice job Hokage seems all kage are strong."

"From what I can tell most villages have granted the power of the Bijuu to their upper echelons anyway. Any groups seeking to attack them would be either incredibly powerful, or incredibly unwise. I hold considerable power myself, any who wish harm to the jinchuuriki in the land of lightning will be sorely mistaken... Do you know where the balance of power stands, Hokage?"

"Not as of yet because nobody has really shown what they are truly capable of" "I would assume those with the most Jinchuriki would be powerful though." "Are you implying that you know where the balance of power stands and if so where?"

seeing anthony isn't going to need to speak he just stand waiting for the meeting to end

"I helped the Mist gain one of their jinchuuriki... By chance really. I have a strong feeling their Mizukage has one, judging by the other information I got they have three total. The Lightning has three, the sand, stone, and leaf have one each. I can't be certain on which ones they have except the one called Isobu... The Lightning has Kurama, Gyuki, and Matatabi. And to give you a little bit more information, I've aided in the capture of Matatabi, Isobu, and defeated Kurama myself. I am here because I thought you would be more willing to talk to a Sannin than a messenger, your village is strong I heard there were... Two Sannin here not including yourself?" He asked now trying to change the subject to gain a little information.

"Yes we have one jinchuriki residing in the village currently." "But yes there are two sanin besides myself in my village that I am very proud of." But of your diplomatic mission what is it that you came here in search of specifically. I realize you want an alliance yes but what are you expecting of this alliance and then we shall discuss the terms.

"One of the keys of diplomacy is learning about your ally as if they were an enemy. I know your strengths, and you have an idea of ours." He said with a sly smile, "I came here in search of trading and perhaps a military alliance should something occur between the villages... My own clan started as a merchant power before becoming a ninja clan." He shrugged, "But trust must be forged first, so I'll offer friendship and we can work out further endeavors from there."

"Yes I do agree trust is the most important thing in any kind of a relationship." Now with trading what is it that you require and what is it that you have an abundance of because maybe would could set up something soon." Also when it comes to military I believe that if either of use needs aid we will request it via a messenger of some sort and depending on the situation at least for me I will send what I deem necessary but your land seems very capable of handling itself so I don't believe that will be an issue."

"The Raikage is very confident in his forces. Any military aid would likely only be requested in a very large war. In the way of trading however, we have a large quantity of swords and equipment for ninja as well as more exotic ores and a good supply of grain. I like to stay connected and my clan forms the backbone of our village's economy. However lumber could be useful as well as fruits, its the simple things that end up being the most worthwhile." Brushed his chin in thought for a moment... "Do you have questions for me?"

sitting here Anthony realized what it truly meant to be a a ninja not just physical but mental strength. he had a glare of wanting to learn sparkling out of his eye's.

"Well of the trading aspect we can most definitely supply you with the abundance of fruits and lumber that we have." "But now that you ask I am wondering what is your villages specialty like what is your village known for if you don't mind me asking." Tee thought this would be a good way to learn more about this village he knew nearly nothing about.
