Chapter 1: A Stolen Kinjutsu Means Trouble

Rain can heard in the background and a cold winter draft blows through the building. But the mood inside is far from depressing as Tsunade and Shizune are sat in the corner of the bar drinking saké. Laughter fills the air and the night is still young. A drunken duo talk about the good old days; Dan and Nawaki are the current topic of conversation.

"Oh!" Shizune began to flail her arms out pointing at her best friend and sensei "Remember that time when you threw a surprise party for Dan's 26th? And" she takes a swig, "Nawaki ended up telling him about it but he still acted like he was surprised because he knew how much work you'd put into it."

"Yeah..." replies Tsunade, she smiles to her self, "that's just the kind of person he was, kind and caring." She looks up at her lovers niece with a twinkle in her eyes "I do miss them both so much."

They both raise their glasses and chime, "To family."

"Lady Tsunade!" a soaked Raidō calls out breathlessly from the door, "An important message from the Land of Lightning."

The pair of women sobered up immediately on hearing urgency in Raidō's voice and make quick work of composing themselves to their normal serious business manner in order to deal with the new issue at hand.

Tsunade sits in her office with Shizune and Tonton at her side. All three wait patiently as Aoba and Raidō show them the scroll that arrived only moments ago, explaining the current situation as best they can.

"The kinjutsu is an S-rank technique and the Kumogakure are worried that the thieves will use it." Aoba reports.

"This technique, is I remember correctly, it was the Second Hokage that sealed it away. It was used during the First Great Shinobi World War and then proclaimed forbidden." Shizune informed the others.

"We lost some good shinobi. Though..." Raidō explains with a worried look.

"Go on." Aoba reassures his friend.

Raidō nods, "They say that they fell into another dimension. I mean there's no proof but, well, they say that if the Second hadn't sealed the technique away when he did that the our world would have been..." he stops a moment to think of the words, "merged with another world."

"Another world?" Tsunade questions raising an eyebrow.

"Well," he stops to scratch his ear and think for a moment, "that's what they say anyway."

"Shizune." Tsunade says standing up, "We need to find these thieves immediately and retrieve the kinjutsu."
