[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. ]


[ Text | Filtered 100% to fellow ninja, written in extremely formal language ]

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!))

Hmm... while I do not condone violence, it has come to my attention that I cannot sit idly by and do nothing in order to protect those I care about. I... will not sit by and let others do as they wish any longer.

Having said that, I have rather... specific abilities and I am not especially well-versed in the ways of humans. I am not sure if I would be willing to join an organisation as such, but if I deem the cause worthy enough I may grant my aid.

[Why hello there~ Eley would normally leave it at that, but he appears to be wrestling with his own thoughts and beliefs right now.]

I understand. However, I am not above helping. Perhaps you could call on me, should you need me. There is a willow tree near Cherry Blossom Tree Hill that I call my home. You will likely find me there.

[Of course, he probably should have explained that. It isn't something he really tries to keep secret.]

Ah... no. I am a Spirit. A Wind Spirit to be precise. Though the Malnosso saw fit to give me a human body in Luceti, I have retained my ability to assume the form of the dragon at least, although not indefinitely.

As such, my powers revolve around the manipulation of wind. Naturally, my dragon form is far larger and more impressive, so I am more capable of attacks of a physical nature.
winds_voice: (Are you sure?)

[personal profile] winds_voice 2014-02-10 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, then perhaps we could benefit from one another. If they were willing of course.

[It's not as though he had any formal training to pass on, but he was the embodiment of the wind, and if it was for the right reasons, he's sure he wouldn't mind offering them his talents to practice with.]

In my world, it was unusual for me to walk so closely amongst humans. Meeting others, especially those with unusual abilities, has also been a new experience for me.

[He pauses, before realising he hadn't properly introduced himself.]

My name is Eleytheria. I will be curious to know how this alliance fares.

[Eley still seemed reluctant to say 'yes' outright. His very name meant freedom, and signing up for something like that felt somehow... restrictive. Too human for him.

On the other hand, he had seen firsthand what complacency could do here, and he had many more personal ties in Luceti than he ever did at home. He had to be decisive.

So he simply replies:]


If you need my help, please do not hesitate to call me. I will... join your alliance.
