[Video]

[ When the video first goes on, the screen is covered by a glove-covered hand, but after a slight shaky moment as it's set down on some sort of ledge, the hand retreats, revealing Kakashi standing outside. A few trees, still droopy with melting snow, can be seen in the background. Those familiar with the terrain might recognize it to be near Flame Building. ]

Hello, Luceti.

[ Kakashi dips his head in greeting, since he's addressing all of Luceti. ]

My name is Hatake Kakashi. Some of you may be familiar with me. For those of you who aren't, I'm a shinobi from a village called Konohagakure -- or Konoha for short -- in a country called "Fire Country." I am also the Commander of the Third Division, which is primarily a short-to-mid-range combat division, of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Many of you may be acquainted with or might recognize my comrades, amongst whom include Uzumaki Naruto, Nara Shikamaru, and Rock Lee. [ The names Kakashi lists aren't at random, but selected based on his observations of how recognizable those names would be. ]

The reason why I reach out to all of you today is simple. While things in Luceti currently are peaceful, and it appears we have nothing to worry about, the ever-present threat of the Malnosso and the Third Party remains. Kidnappings still occur, with seemingly no conceivable way to stop or fight them. Should there be an attack on the enclosure, at present, there is no organized force that can fight in concert to protect the enclosure and ensure the safety of civilians who might not be able to fight back. While some of us may be used to working together due to missions and drafts, as far as I am aware, no formal training or maneuvers are ever held to ensure all parties working together are using the best tactics and strategy. And from what I know, there are no formal safety measures in place to protect civilians or evacuate them to safer ground should a fight break out, as it did a few months ago.

On behalf of Konohagakure and Fire Country, by order of Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage-sama, I would like to formally extend an invitation to anyone who has military training, unique or magical powers, or immense skill in battle strategy, espionage and intelligence-gathering, field medicine, hacking, or other specialized skills to join us in forming an alliance. This alliance would not only give those of us from different worlds a chance to meet and discuss our shared interests in protecting Luceti's inhabitants, but would also give us the opportunity to learn and adapt how to fight with and against those with different training or powers. By conducting shared training sessions, maneuvers, disaster simulations, and taking missions together, we can share resources and power, as well as develop strategy.

As for who's in charge... seeing as we're all from different worlds, it would make much more sense for us to establish a council of leaders from different worlds. We invite leaders from other worlds who might have similar shared interests to contact us, and open a line of dialogue.

We look forward to hearing from you all.

[ Speech finished, Kakashi bows to the camera again, then reaches out and turns off the feed. ]

[ Yup, that sure is Kakashi walking vertically up the side of a wall. Just strolling along like it's no big deal. ]

By order of Yondaime Hokage-sama, the Konohagakure Jounin Exams will soon be held for all qualified Chuunin. If you are interested in participating, a sign-up form has been placed on the door of Yondaime-sama's place of residence. Direct any questions you might have to Hatake Kakashi.

[ Text | Filtered 100% to Shikamaru ]

Shikamaru, I've nominated you for jounin promotion to Yondaime. Though we've decided to hold jounin exams, I've requested a special exception for you. However, if you would like to take the exams in the interest of fairness, you are still welcome to do so. - Kakashi

[ Text | Filtered 100% to Naruto ]

Naruto, I just wanted to let you know that I nominated you for jounin promotion. However, because you are still genin, it will be necessary for you to take the exam. - Kakashi

[ Text | Filtered 100% to Sakura ]

Sakura, I've nominated you for jounin promotion. Usually, this means immediate promotion, but because your peers don't have anyone to nominate them, we've decided to hold exams this year. Let me know if you would like to compete in them. - Kakashi

((ooc: Since this is a call for discussion, feel free to thread-jack and hold your own conversations throughout the post. Kakashi will try his best to answer all comments. Also, feel free to comment on this post even it's super late. As long as we're within the 3 month bracket, we're cool!))

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I would gladly join this alliance, if I may.

I have experience with magic. I can heal the wounded and provide offensive support for allies in battle.

Ah, forgive me. [For forgetting to introduce himself again.]

I am Saleh.

I have offensive spells, and can cast fireballs, thunderbolts, and blizzards at opponents.

I usually fight off bandits and monsters in my world, and recently, I’ve been fighting the armies of the largest empire in the nation.

[Even though the latter didn’t go so well flying solo.]

I would fare much better in teams. I can protect myself alone, but casting can be quite difficult when the enemies get too close.

“Shinobi...” That is a term I am unfamiliar with.

As for spells, not at all. I can cast spells within seconds, though I do need to pace myself for a minute or two in between.

mountain_sage: (Really?)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2014-02-09 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)

Yes...that would be ideal.

...That won’t be a problem, will it?

[He sort of gets that impression from the shinobi’s tone.]

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2014-02-09 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)

Ah, that is good to hear.

Will there be regular meetings? Or do you know how you will keep this alliance organized?

mountain_sage: (Really?)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2014-02-10 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
...A little too public?

[That strikes him as odd, considering how public this announcement is.]

...I'm afraid I don't. Organizing a large group has never been my strong suit.
mountain_sage: (Wandering Sage)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2014-02-12 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, they do. But would they not see this announcement as well?

[Well, he doesn't seem too concerned. But then again, the Malnosso must have been aware of the previous defense groups as well.]

Well, this would not be the first time a defense or support group has been formed here, so I suppose it matters not.
