[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!))

[If this were a year ago, he'd be denied the chance. It says a few things - none of them good - that he's as comfortable with the idea of drinking as he is now. A year ago, you couldn't even get him to go into Seventh Heaven to use the bathroom.

Now, he just shrugs.]


If it makes you feel better, you can say I hadn't hit legal drinking age yet.

The old man used to say the same thing.

[He takes the glass with a nod of thanks, watching it swish in the glass slightly from the motion. Truth be told, he's pretty sure that line gets blurred more often than not for shinobi. Legal is more of a formality, from what he's seen.]
endgames: (what was that about?)

[...hold on one second. He may be caught staring to see if Kakashi can actually drink through the darn thing.]

-huh?

[WHY WOULD YOU EVEN INVEST IN THAT-- Okay no fine. 8|]

Oh. It was... [He shrugs, takes a drink.] Messy. But it could've been worse.
endgames: (Considering)

[personal profile] endgames 2014-03-11 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Stuff happened.

[A note of finality, a none of your business ring in the air before a steep pause. It's visible as he mentally adjusts; realizes he needs to offer more.

If it were anyone else, he'd leave it at that. He hasn't worked the situation out for himself yet, so what gives anyone else the right to be privy to it?

It's been a long time since he's been subject to a superior.]


...I failed. [Dull. His tone's muted with apology for his behavior.] Not this one, but the one before it. I wanted the opportunity to make up for it, but things got out of hand.

Every mission I take, I take seriously.

[He folds his hands behind his head, and does well not to think of that time; the promise he made standing outside of ER doors and shaking like a small child.]

Failures happen, and I get that now, but if I volunteer for something it's only because I expect to be useful. It's embarrassing when I'm, you know. Not.
endgames: (Bluff)

[personal profile] endgames 2014-03-15 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not important. Not in the way you're thinking.

[...And if it were, he hadn't expected that kind of response. It surprises him. Touches him, maybe? But no, he should just clear this up.]

It was a sailing mission. I was fine until we got on the boat, and then I was seasick any time we didn't make land. It was bad enough I couldn't complete any of the duties I was assigned on the ship, so when they got the chance they sent me back.

[...That's not what it's about at all, but at this point he decides he's better off confirming his research before he continues further.

Because it is okay. Whether this is because of what he thinks it is or not, he can still work with it. Even if Kakashi doesn't know what the real problem is, his reassurance works.]


Yeah. [Shikamaru shrugs, but doesn't bother to move Kakashi's hand resting there.] Anyways. You asked me out here for a reason.
endgames: (Listening)

[personal profile] endgames 2014-04-14 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Some.

[He's read through it, yeah.]
