[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. ]

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

[Good. Yes. She smiles for a moment with him and then it fades away.]

They're all Chuunin already, no matter what Naruto is sort of unfairly skipping the normal way to become a Jounin.
derpivity: (she's hot okok)

BUILDS YOU A HOUSE

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-22 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think it's being unfair. Naruto earned his way to becoming a Jounin. He did save the village once.

[And Naruto has the strength to back this up. Really, he's jounin-level now.]
fervidity: (misc→ he just wont eat his veggies)

PUTS IN WHITE PICKET FENCE

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-22 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He does. He is BUT STILL]

So that's what you have to do to skip exams?
derpivity: (explanations)

THE WHITEST OF THEM ALL

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-22 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He blinks and his expression turns a little more serious as he clears his throat.]

No. Actually, with a nomination from Kakashi, Naruto's eligible not to take any exam but since he's still a Genin, he should take the exams.

What makes him taking exams not different from everyone else, though, is because the remaining Chuunin here also have to take it in order of fairness because none of them has someone to nominate them unlike Naruto, Sakura and Shikamaru.

[His gaze travels to the view outside as if waiting for a Chuunin to sign up.] We aren't in an ideal world, Kushina. If, say, we are back in ours, everything should be done in due process. We have to make do with what we have here.

WHAt

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-22 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes glaze over a little. Lots of technical stuff.

Until the last bit.]


I just think it's weird, that's all. I'm glad Naruto will be able to be Jounin and the same rank as his friends. But I don't want anyone to think we're treating him differently because you're his father and Kakashi is his sensei. Plus, I guess I'm going to be one of the judges too.

[He might be happy as a jinchuriki, but she doesn't want him to be ostracized in other ways.]
derpivity: (understanding)

I MEANT THE WHITEST FENCE??

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-22 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Slowly, Minato grabs her hand in a gesture of reassurance. He understands her worries since he also has them.]

We are still ninja. You and Kakashi are still Jounin and I'm still the Hokage. Even if Naruto's very close to us, I trust we will be fair. This is for the good of the village, after all.
fervidity: DO NOT TAKE ICON!!! (happy→ can you guess)

IDK WHY THATS FUNNY BUT IM LAUGHINg DELIRIOUS LAUGHIng

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-22 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
[It's what she needs, hers curls around his.]

Kakashi said that too.

[You guys have so much faith in her why.]

I only said I'd do it because I get to keep cheering everyone on though.
derpivity: (hi ladies)

HAHA REALLY?? OH YOU!! and probably this will tag will be placeholder-ish. i'm sleepy :cc

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-22 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
Until the exam, I take it?

[He expected Kushina to say something like that being the mother that she is. Also, it would make sense why she's waiting for candidates to show up.]
fervidity: (misc→ im a chipmunk)

you get rest sicky <3333

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-22 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
He said during the exam too, so I'm going to cheer during.

[Y'ALL CAN'T STOP HER.]
derpivity: (modesty)

i will thanks bby <33333

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-22 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you certain?

[HE KNOWS SHE IS but, well, maybe he can persuade her otherwise??]

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-22 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[NOPE.]

Yes. That's why I said I would.
derpivity: (herp derp)

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-23 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose I should know by now there's no stopping you.

[He now feels silly for even trying, BUT OH WELL HE HAS TO TRY.]
fervidity: (serious→ DISAPPROVE [+mina])

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-23 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
What's so bad about it?

[HE SHOULD KNOW but she's actually confused]
derpivity: (eh?)

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-23 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, there's nothing about your headstrong attitude, Kushina. In fact, it's a nice trait to have.

[Of course, he thought you're referring to this.]
fervidity: DO NOT TAKE ICON!!! (comic→ more like flustered)

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[BLINKS]

I meant cheering for everyone, ya know!?
derpivity: (collars)

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-24 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[He blinks, pausing in thought.]

Hm, come to think of it, I don't see anything wrong with it. I suppose if you're cheering for everyone, no one would think you're favoring someone over the other.
fervidity: DO NOT TAKE ICON!!! (misc→ geez)

[personal profile] fervidity 2014-02-24 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[HUFF HUFF

Folding her arms.]


I wouldn't do that. I want everyone to be Jounin and it's not like it's a competition.
derpivity: (yes she's kindaaaa loud)

[personal profile] derpivity 2014-02-25 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well, some may view it as such.

[They can't exactly control what others may think, anyway.]

[No, they didn't. Although Kushina has tried with her lectures. She just sort of frowns and moves to look out the window again, waiting.]

I'll tell them it's not. The only thing they have to do is their best and not worry about how someone else is doing something because it doesn't matter. They're getting judged based on their abilities, not their abilities compared to someone else.
