Shukari Forest

"Possibly a vendetta. He agreed to sign once a Hokage was found to make sure the leaf shinobi wouldn't decide to attack when they pleased." He explained.

"Well, that makes complete sense." Coren then relaxed a little more and continued "And it looks like I came at a good time." Coren then smiled as he wondered if there was anything else the Raikage had to say.

Kotaro gave one more look at the Hokage and nodded. "I believe they chose wisely when choosing you as the Hokage. Please, accept this gift as a bond between our nations." He snapped his fingers and a woman appeared with a large Blade that was covered with cloth. "A customized demon wind shurikan made specifically for your clan jutsu. I know all about it from the war."

Coren grabbed it and said "Thank you Raikage. I hope that, in time, I can repay you. I hope that our villages become closer and that we both shall strive for that, as I will. Okay, that sounded a little too formal..." Coren then grinned and said "Thanks."

Kotaro waved his hand. "Think nothing of it lord Hokage." He smiled. "Lets just hope the Mizukage enjoys your company."

Coren nodded and said "I hope he does as well. Does this conclude the meeting, or is there anything else?" Coren said this happily, as if to avoid sounding rude by accident.

Kotaro nodded. "It does, my village is still under repair, so this will be our temporary home." His nose suddenly twitched and he smiled. "So Hokage, what is your plan for the upcoming chunnin exams?" He said silently and stealthily reaching for his customized kunai.

Coren noticed the twitch and him slowly reached for the kunai, and would counter if he attacked, but he guessed that he wasn't reaching for it because of him. "Which village does it take place in this year, Konoha?" after saying this, he put his hand on his hip.

"Konoha's forest is still being barricaded. Which is why I suggest the Black Puntola forest here in-" Suddenly Kotaro's arm jerked out and the kunai, now connected with a chakra thread, shot towards the movement. Someone suddenly jumped back and rose from the tall grass. "We have company from the wind." Kotaro said rising as his eyes landed on the ninja's headband. Immediatly 5 more wind ninja appeared next to the one. "Jounin."

Coren stood up and said "So, I guess there were some things forgotten." Coren turned around as his chakra became visible. "I won't use full power, but I hate it when people spy on me." Coren then quick-stepped and used a kunai to slash at one of the Jounin from behind.

The nija pulled out a kunai and blocked the attack, chakra visible on the blades edge.

"Wind element." Kotaro said suddenly appearing behind another ninja and attacking his ribs with his palms.

Just as the kunai hit, Coren applied enough pressure to shatter an ordinary kunai as he flipped out his sword from the inside of his pants and tryed to impale the Wind Nin with it.

The ninja's Kunai was saved because of the chakra he transfered into it, but the katana jabbed into his chest without delay.

Kotaro dodged a kunai slash at his head and round-house kicked the ninja back before pulling out 3 kunai. He threw one at the ground far away.

Coren grinned devilishly as he said "Okay, 1 down." and disappeared. He then slashed at another Jounin from behind, but the blade was now 10 feet long, as his chakra became part of the blade.

The jounin barely managed to quickstep away from the large blade, forming hand signs as he did. "Wind style: Air bullet!" He shouted before blowing multiple air bullets toward Coren.

Kotaro threw another Kunai far into the ground and stabbed a jounin. "Why would the wind attack us?"

"No idea, but something reeks of rebel group." he then swung it again at the same Jounin by going right in front of him with Quick-Step.

The jounin took in a deep breath and blew a giant air bullet at Coren, sending him back.

Kotaro threw his last Kunai and smirked. "Coren, Get back about 12 feet."

Coren was then standing beside Kotaro right as he said that \, and watched to see what Kotaro had in mind.

Kotaro formed 20 hand-signs in a few seconds. "Lightning style: Kuya Art: Silver Lightning triangle Jutsu!" He then grabbed hold of the Kunai in the ground and lightning traveled to the other two, forming a triangle around the last 3 ninja. It then met above them and formed a pyramid barrier, which then collapsed and shocked them, paralyzing them and rendering them dead or unconscious.

"Please tell me they're not all dead. We've gotta figure out why they're here." Coren then walked closer to the AOE.

"I left one alive." Kotaro said walking up to them. "He's just out of it." He smirked. "That technique is why we won many battles against impossible odds."

"Understandable." Coren picked up the person with ease and said "You got an interrogation room?"

"More like tent, but yes." Kotaro said pointing to the east. "Large blue one over there."

"You plan for everything." He carried the guy over to the tent and asked "Hey, Raikage. You gonna help, watch, or stay out here?"

"I need to see how they breached my sentries. Have fun." Kotaro said walking toward the sentry post.
