- I'm sorry it has taken this long to get this up. I have been attempting to finish things up and get things ready for my trip out of town tommorrow to go register for the fall semster. -
(This will be a joint Suna and Konoha RP chacters from both villages are encouraged to participate in this Forum Event. Again OOC posts will not be tolerated in this post and such posts made will be deleted and the poster will receive no tokens. Again have fun everyone.)
Chapter 2: "We've come to help."
"She what?!" Genjma's fist clentches tightly. "Come come Genjma settle down,", Kabuto looks up his glasses reflecting the dim candle light. "if Kages were that easy to kill they wouldn't be Kages now would they." "You snide bas-", Genjma falls silent as the door to the room creeks open. "Genjma, Orochimaru wants to see you.", the young Uchiha glares from the hallway, the faint candle light flickering across his red eyes. "H-hai I'll be right there.", Genjma turns from Kabuto walking towards the door as Sauske walks away. "Where is that defiante tone you had just seconds ago Genjma,", Kabuto grins under his glasses as the flame from the candle reflects across their surface "did you lose it?" Genjma stops and turns back his eyes convaying the unspoken words toward Kabuto. "Well maybe it should stay lost before you lose your value to Lord Orochimaru, hmm?" Kabuto grins under his glasses as he looks back to the scrolls laid out over the table as Genjma leaves the room. "Next, Suna..."
____________________________________________________________________________
It has been four days since the devistating attack on Konoha. Yet the true spirit of the Village Hidden in the Leaves shines thru. Konoha is rebuilding as quickly as their man power would permitt. The large stone spires have been reduced to mud and sand leaving gaping holes inside of both buildings. The excess mud and sand from the two spires are being carted out of the village by a long series of carts as shinobi and villager alike work to clear the rubble and repair their home.
"No no no! Like this use the power of youth!" Gai grabs the cart from Neji who continues to grumble internaly. His cool and emotionless demenor only changes in a slight eye twitch as Gai sprints off with the cart, "Ah ha! The power of Youth!" Ten Ten only shakes her head as she looks on carrying a bucket of nails. "Watch out coming thru!", the voice resoninates thru the street as Rock Lee barrels past almost running over Neji "I will use the power of youth and move one hundred carts by sunset!" Shikamaru looks up and shakes his head from the desk on the side of the street where he is helping coordinate repairs and sighs. Somewhere above a crow circles and caws faintly sounding like "bakas" before it flies away.
___________________________________________________________________________
"They took what?", Tsunade sits up in her chair from her leaning position on the table in the temporay office. "The attack seems to of not been just an attack but also a diversion. These three scrolls are missing," Shizune hands the list to Tsunade, "two secret technique medical jutsus and a forbidden earth ninjutsu scroll."
"What scrolls did they take?" Kakashi crosses his arms looking at Tsunade out of the corner of his eye as Jirayia stands near the window looking out. Tsunade sighs and lays the paper down and spins it to Kakashi as he walks near leaning over the list to inspect it before Tsunade lifts her hand. "Hmm... this does not look good", Kakashi picks up the list. "No it doesn't.", Jirayia speaks from the window before slowly turning to face the three. "Considering what was taken we can assume -who- attacked us but the question is why the earth jutsu?" Jirayia walks around the desk toward Kakashi as he hands the list to Jirayia. "Well haven't you said before he wants to learn all the techniques he can?", Kakashi looks at Jirayia arching a brow. "Yes I did, but in his time here Orochimaru learned this jutsu. Why take the scroll?"
"I don't know but we need to find out and before our guests arrive later today." Tsunade sits back in the rickety chair pressing her fingertips together infront of her as she rests her elbows on the armrests.

Suto walks into Konoha with a bright grin on his face, having spent some time refining his abilities after that dark day he felt confident he wouldnt be caught off gaurd again, especially with such strange weather.
Shaking himself from his gloomy thoughts he approached the gate guards and waved cheerfully "Ohayo! Chunin-san" The storm childs grin was infectious and a moment later re turned with just as much cheer from the guards.
It did not take Long for Suto to note the recovery effort and lend a hand, simple manual labor and more complicated task such as welding or lifting large objects. Enthralled in the effort to rebuild Konoha Suto turned his attention to the job at hand, content to do his small part

Skippy sits were he normally does in his off time. In a tree outside the gate, alone, staring up into the leaves and sky as he sighs. Pulling a cookie from one of his pockets in his caot, he nibbles it, grinning. Thoughts about the recent attack as he simply, avoids work, for now.

Hakoji not having been seen through most of this can be seen lending his hand with his earth jutsus to rebuild his home. Seeming mostly downtrodden that he had no part in protecting his home he spends as much time rebuilding. Using his hands is something hes been seen doing as well, hes putting all his effort back into the reconstruction of leaf.
He pays no heed to anyone else in the village save his students should they approach him. Until that time he continues to work avidly on the work at hand hoping to bring back as much of the village as he can.

perry skips around smiling watching all the adults strugle to rebuild and pick up the rubble. he eats some icecream and sighs watching a group fail badly to pick up a huge pile of rocks so he throws his icecream away and skips over, lifting the 400 lbs pound pile up with one hand, "here ya go" and with that he skips off after proping the rocks up with some logs so they wouldnt fall back down. "i wonder if i'll be awake for the next invasion..."

In those few days after the chaos, Asaro had been attending to any immediate casualties and helped find any clues as to those responsible for the attack.
Today was no exception either. Both Asaro and Nago hanged around town helping up with the rebuilding and enjoying the performance from Gai's team. They were the number 1 team in close combat and He had dreamed over and over to be like them.
Nago spent more time with his family and specially with Syph, his own mate. They hanged together with Asaro and helped as they could as well.

It has been 4 days since the attack, as Maikeru is still perplexed at the reasoning behind this sneak attack let alone why they would target innocent lives as he gazes at the ruined hospital. His eyes exude great pain and anguish for the poor souls caught in the attack and were not able to escape due to the many circumstances that could have befallen them. He realizes that his life was saved by the thunder and lightning caused that night and is very grateful that he can live on just a little longer. His gaze breaks seeing some familiar faces helping remove the rubble from the hospital and uncovering bodies, as he too begins to do his part in heaving the cumbersome stone walls among other debris.
Working tirelessly, he helps in uncovering many of the bodies lost that night and simply looks on at the line of corpses made from hospital patients, to medical professionals, and even shinobi who were kind enough to aid in the evacuation but were not able to escape themselves… Wiping the sweat from his brow he hears a name calling out to him as he turns to the crowd and smiles warmly seeing his youngest brother rush over towards him. Devido typically drags his blue blanket over his shoulder and a baseball bat strapped to his belt, and hands people bottles of water along the way to Maikeru eventually giving him one.
Devido to Maikeru: “Big brudda! I came to hewp, dey let us outta skool early because people from my village are comin’. We get estra credit fo’ helpin’ da Tree village, so I cames here furst.” *Smiles brightly and resumes handing out bottles of water to the working men and women in the recovery effort near the Hospital grounds.*
Maikeru smiles warmly at Devido as he is just as gentle and kindhearted as he remembered back at their home, and cannot help to wonder if Kurisu and the Mist village will also come to their aid. He tries to stay focused at the task at hand and not expect any miracles to occur at a time where action is called for. After chugging down the cool fresh water he hands the empty bottle back to his brother and nods his head in appreciation.
Maikeru to Devido: “Thank you Yuzumi for the drink. Please be careful around here because there is still a lot of dangerous debri lying about. If people from your village are coming then I am sure the Lady Hokage will welcome them with open arms.”
Devido to Maikeru: “Otay… Hey look! Dere is a puppy! May I go play wif it?”
Maikeru to Devido: “Oh? That is Nago, who that other dog is I am not sure. His master should be around so I suppose it is fine if you wanted to pet it, just stay close.”
As Devido scurries off with his blanket by his side he cannot help but feel a mix of emotions as he eyes some of the corpses that were luckily out of Devido’s sight. A little girl, about Devido’s age, was one of the patients in the hospital that fateful night as she lays pale along side the other patients that died. He thinks to himself if living in this country would be in the best interest for his future or his brothers, praying that there will never be a time when Sunagakure or Kirigakure would be attacked as viciously as Konoha…
Devido to Nago: “Hey dere lil fella, I am Devido. My bruddas call me Yuzumi, it means gentle sparrow, I dun like it much- sos call me Devido kay?” *Offers Nago and his doggy friend some water from a water bottle as he spills its contents on the palm of his hand*

Syph would take the water kindly, a very friendly female canine of white furs, if the man knew anything about canines, he would take notice that Syph was more than just a domestic dog, a winter wolf breed. How it was possible, who knows. As for Nago, he was a massive grey wolf, eyes set on him and unmoving, watching the man closely and with out trust. "...heh, excuse Nago, he is kind of untrusting, he won't take anything from people he barely knows. Totally nothing like Syph" Asaro chuckles.

Rarda, having no crutches, helps out as best as she can, as she helps with the rebuilding of smaller structures, such as the ramen shop, and even helps cook and serve food to those ho come by, finding it quit enjoyable to simpley serve ramen and sake.
Perhaps I should get a part time job working here, its not that bad...
She watches as Rock Lee and Gai run by leaving dust in the wind as they go, giggling a bit.
Hard at work, as always...
She looks to whats left of the Hokages tower after business dies down and shes taking a short break, drinking from a small water bottle, wondering who could have done this so easily...

Medical shinobi are nothing but stuck-up bakas... Ifu dips a soft white cloth into his adjacent clay bowl, letting warm filtered water soak into its weave. He stares at his mother's bloody scalp with trepidation, before swallowing the sour taste in his mouth and beginning his work.
"Ifu, I know that this will be difficult for you, but you must put faith into your own strength. The Village needs my skills to aid in reconstruction, you must attend to your mother yourself." His father smiles reassuringly and ruffles Ifu's hair, stopping for a moment to lift the headband from Ifu's downcast eyes. "Do you remember the methods that she taught you?"
"Yeah Daddy, I remember." Ifu twists and squeezes the soaked rag above his mothers wound, letting the warm water wash away the ash and grime still caught in her gashed forehead. after letting the wound saturate with water, he firmly wipes away the excess and hanging skin, letting the wound breathe into open air. But I shouldn't have to be doing this...
Ifu's face is filled with fear, and he fantically tugs on the ninja sash of the attending male medical shinobi. "Sir-sensei, please, my mother's in a coma and she needs help, now!" The medical shinobi turns his head halfway towards ifu, casting a stern eye on him from the corner of the medic's eye. "Beat it, kid. We have at least a dozen patients in much worse shape than your mom who won't be seen for another two hours." "But... b-b- she could be dying!...but you don't even care? "Look kid, she'll hold out until someone can spare the time for her, so get lost." "But-" "Now!"
Ifu pulls out what looks to be a miniature senbon from a small pack at his waist, though anyone familiar with the home arts would immediately recognize it as a common sowing needle. Oh man... I never thought I'd actually have to do this myself... "Here it goes." Ifu begins the long and ardous process in front of him, requiring the highest amount of finesse and steady hands... Namely, threading a needle.
Anyone who is near the hospital would hear something like this: "Oh for the F***ing love of god!!!"[/font]

Katsurou arrives after being sent there by Suna. He looks around and slowly whispers to himself: ''What in god's name happened here?'' His Suna headband glimmers in the sunlight and he walks to Shikamaru..''Hey shika what in god's name happened here and how can we help fixing this?''
He walks to the academy grounds looking around as he does. He thinks to himself ''they were hit hard...'' He looks up and sees Kai at the academy and dashes towards here ''Are you alright? What happened?'' He looks at her worriedly...''What can I do to help?''
''I hope the Kazekage sends more men out here , they can sure use all the help they can get'' He thinks that as he sighs..

Devido gives a soft kid-like giggle as Syph drinks from his hands and enjoys the tickling of her tongue on the palm of his hands. He turns to Nago and tilts head curiously wondering why he isn’t drinking and offers it to him again until Asaro walks up and talks to him. Feeling a bit nervous and slightly intimidated by Asaro he simply steps back hiding behind Syph a moment as he listens to his statement. Understanding that Nago is just as nervous around strangers as he is, Devido tries to approach him slowly and steadily to give him a pet on the head.
Devido to Nago: “Hey dere lil fella, I wanna be you frien’. Kay?”
Slightly frightened that Nago may bite him he coils his hand back at the slightest movement Nago makes. Maikeru flickers to their side having seen Devido try to befriend Nago and Syph, and could not resist having a chance to converse with Asaro. He carries several bags of Icecream pops and hands one to Devido and another to Asaro. He would immediately begin eating his, not noticing a possible gesture toward Asaro.
Maikeru to Devido: “Here Devido, I think this may help.” *Hands him an Ice pop*
Devido to Maikeru: “Tanks big brudda!” *Immediately unwraps it and begins slurping the icecream, offering some to Syph and Nago*
Their happy family moment would then be spoiled as someone shouted the word “F***” to which Maikeru winces and looks about wondering what is going on. Devido blinks and looks up at Maikeru’s reaction not realizing a word could make him flinch like that.
Devido to Maikeru: “…F***”
Maikeru flinches again and turns to Devido in disbelief that it came from his mouth, a 9 yr old child using such a profane word. Devido simply does a kid giggle again seeing his older brother’s reaction and simply repeats it over and over again, not knowing what it means but thinks it is a silly word that makes Maikeru go silly. Maikeru is left with a sweat drop trickling down the side of his face…
Maikeru Thinking: “Jiminy Cricket… How am I going to fix this…”
Maikeru to Devido: “Yuzumi! You shouldn’t say bad words like that. You can call forth the boogy-man… he is a Yomi that comes at night to snatch away little children, like yourself, who use bad words- and they are never seen again…” *Gives a scary Yamato expression*
Devido nods slightly as he shivers not wanting to be taken away from the only family he has left. He listens to his older brother and doesn’t go on using that word ever again… Or until he gets to see his class again and shares it with them along with the Urban legend of the Boogyman. Maikeru then simply pats his younger brother's head seeing they are at an understanding and goes back to work.

Maikeru then simply pats his younger brother's head seeing they are at an understanding and goes back to work. Nago would, as always, attempt to show supremacy over Divido by sharing a low growl that slightly flashed his teeth. The beast sat there like a statue, clearly not going to do anything but watch. As for Syph, she enjoyed the attention given as she wagged her tail about. "Huh..." As Maikeru appeared, Asaro didn't really seem too startled, having noticed his presence a while ago. He reluctantly took the ice cream and kept his distance from any weird moves from Maikeru. "Thanks for the ice cream heh, something refreshing" He said as he slowly ate his ice cream and watched Devido and Maikeru chat, not minding the cursing. -

It is Mid-day, hours after Katsurou has arrived a caravan slowly pulls into Konoha. Carts and wagons covered by blankets baring the Sunagakure crest. As the two Sand shinobi at the lead near the gate they are met by Shikamaru and Chouji. "Eh?! The Hokage said you were coming to help but nothing about something like this?" Kankuro looks to Temari and smriks as she speaks "Well we can take it back to Suna but some of it would spoil by the time we got back.", she watches him with a grin. "No no," Shikamaru sighs, "aid from your village is greatly welcomed." Temari smiles and walks past Shikamaru, "Good because the impression I got from Gaara was we weren't here to ask if you needed help." "OH! Do I smell pork!" Chouji starts walking toward a covered cart. He is quickly stoped by Kankuro's outstretched arm, "Yes to feed the force we brought with us to help." "Eh... What force? I see you two and the drivers.", Chouji leans to the side peaking around Kankuros arm. Kankuro shakes his head and looks back giving a sharp whistle as the covered cart's tarps are pulled back revealing four shinobi per cart stretching the fifteen cart caravan. "A few of our Jounins and some chunins, including some of our own Medical Core to help with your wounded." Shikamaru arches a brow looking over the group as shinobi start hoping out of the carts, "Go a little over board on the -aid- idea?" Temari turns and smiles at Shikamaru as he looks back at her, "Nope some of you are just to lazy too work, so we brought extra help."
"Well then send your Medical shinobi to the hospital and the rest to help clear the academy.", Shikamaru nods to Temari.
"Temari..." Kankuro nods to the lead wagon, "What about -him-?" Shikamaru turns to Kankuro, "Him?"
Temari walks back to the cart and flips the tarp back even further revealing the badly injured man "Tongu Ezramaku, one of our Special Jounin. We found him in the dunes like this on the way here and he was in too bad of shape to attempt to send him back to Suna. He is unconscience and the area we found him in was heavily damaged from what we suspect to be a fight. Who ever did this to him left him to die. Our Medical team has been healing him the best they can during the trip. I know we came to help you rebuild your village, but if your hospital facilities have enough supplies to help him back on his feet we would appreciate it." Shikamaru shrugs, " I see no reason why not you came here to help us if we can help you by healing your Jounin we will. Take him to the hospital ruins, we have a make shift hospital set up near by. I'll inform the Hokage he is here with you two we were to keep an eye out for him next time he passed thru." "Why?" Temari looks at Shikamaru with a curious look. "I don't know.", Shikamaru shrugs and walks back to his post "I have things I need to do have your Jounin stop by my post."
