In the room stood two shinobi and outside of it were lots of little children it would seem. One looking closer could see the children practicing throwing shuriken at various targets. It was clear enough to see that these children were Academy Students. Inside the room, the woman's crimson eyes glanced lightly at the dark haired shinobi in front of her. "Long time no see Iruka. I haven't seen you in a couple of months." She said as Iruka nodded to her.

"Yes, some time has passed since our last visit now, hasn't it? And I must apologize for Izumo's behavior towards you earlier Kurenai. Or at least, from what I heard anyway." Kurenai chuckled a bit at this. "Iruka, don't worry about it. He was just being a man like any of the others. He isn't as bad as Jiraiya at least. He's the one that probably gave them the ideas in the first place."

Iruka put his palm to his face and grumbled a bit. "As much as I respect Jiraiya-sama and what he's done and sacrificed for Konoha, Sometimes I really think of him as being just a pervert at times." Kurenai laughed a bit at this. "Make no mistake about it, Jiraiya IS a pervert. He's just lucky that he's also one of the strongest shinobi in the village and someone I respect on a professional level. But, I'm sure you didn't call me here just to talk about the perverted Sannin now, right Iruka?" At this, Iruka laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "

Hai, hai. Well, I've called to inform you on congratulating you and Kasei-" Kurenai soon interrupted him. "He's graduated already?" At this, Iruka nodded. "Hai, he's had no problems in any of the stylings of jutsu and particularly excels in genjutsu and taijutsu, scoring top ranks in genjutsu and is in the top ten percent for taijutsu." At this, Kurenai smiled while shaking her head. "Don't even say it runs in the blood either Iruka. Like mother like son just takes away from his accomplishment. I've seen him work at it for almost full nights at a time."

At this, Iruka smiled a bit. "I will take nothing away from him Kurenai and there's no doubt in my mind that he's earned every bit of this accomplishment. It's still curious though that he graduates a year later than you did and his scores are only slightly lower than what yours were all those years ago.He's earned himself a spot in the top ten highest scores for Genjutsu even, a little bit below you Kurenai. You and him both have lots to be proud of." At hearing that, a single tear came down her eye. "If only Asuma were here to see this himself..."

At hearing this, Iruka put a hand on Kurenai's shoulder. "Kurenai, even up in the heavens I can bet Asuma is very proud of both of you as you are of him. Though not physically, Asuma will always be with the Hidden Leaf Village in soul, especially with you and Kasei." At hearing that, Kurenai chuckled a bit. "Yea, I needed that Iruka, thank you." Iruka smiled as he stood up. "Anytime Kurenai, anytime. Either way, I think Godaime-sama wanted all the Jounin to see her for a meeting, shall we go now?" At this, Kurenai nodded. "Hai." Kurenai said as they both vanished.

The waters were muddy and the atmosphere was dense with moisture. Outside of The hidden Mist, things were always like this. Soon enough, two shinobi ran up and clashed in a kunai upon kunai crash. One slipped a sliding sweep kick uring the block. The other bent to a knee and pinned the other shinobi to the ground it seemed. One hand available for the downed shinobi soon performed a series of handsigns. "Lynxinox, Water Wires Jutsu."

He said as he rolled and pressed all his fingers to the ground. soon enough, ten wires of water whipped and wrapped around the opponent. Soon enough, the opponent formed handsigns himself. "Water Style. Water Wolf Torrent Jutsu." He said a s soon enough, the wires were converted into a large wolf's head that launched itself towards the other opponent. The water spiraled into him and burst on impact. As the mist settled, the other opponent soon noticed the mist getting much thicker.

"Water Style: Fists from the Mist Jutsu." Was heard as soon enough, the previous opponent was cracked in the face with a punch, followed by three more to the stomach. The other smirks as he breathes in while forming handsigns. "Wind Style: Hurricane Formation." He said as he breathed a burst of air into his palms. Soon enough, the wind condensed and acted as a vortex, sucking the mist into it until it was a thick ball of spinning water. "Secret Jutsu, Birth of the Typhoon."

He said as soon enough, slammed the orb into the ground and it rapidly spiraled and spread out, soon surrounding the entire area in a fierce hurricane. This didn't deter the opponent at all it seemed though. "Lynxinos: Geyser Clones." Was heard as soon enough, the forceful waters of the hurricane birthed some clones made of dense water out of it. "Lynxinox: Water Wires." Was heard as well as soon enough, all of the clones soon grew whipping wires and spun along with the hurricane. This cause a fierce whipping of wires against the other opponent that soon enough, smiled.

"Jutso Sho." He said as soon enough, his hurricane was cancelled. "Well done Xenophon, your skills are growing by the day, I'm sure Hellion would be most proud of you." At this, Xenophon simply bowed. "Thank you Mizukage-sama."

The temperaure was now drastically different, as was the environment. Soon enough, a field filled with body's lay there as a single person stood over them. "What happened here?" One shinobi said to the him as he kicked some sand. "It came and killed everyone...Not even Ryuujin could protect them...I couldn't protect them..." At hearing this, the other shinobi shok his head.

"The blood's on your hands though. I don't think your guilty but, the elders are aware of the whole Higan and Uchiha incidents. Hearing about it happening here will cloud their judgement. You should leave Zelazon." At hearing this, Zelazon turned towards the Suna Jounin. "My family is gone...because I wasn't able to stop it...I must destroy it...I can't stay here though, can I?" At hearing this, the other simply shook his head. "Understood, I will be gone shortly." Zelazon said as he soon vanished.

Once again, new environment. Not completely though. The air here was thick with ash and both very hot and very dry. The ground was rich and burnt at the same time and various mountains could be seen searching the horizon. A luxurious and slightly large village was easily seen. Large, tall buildings made of steel and iron rested in it and the larger buildings were garnered with various statues and gems. A couple in particular were easily noticable. The grounds of one distinct set of manors all seemed to have lion statues and ornaments upon them, the other set with various cryptic symbols and deitous looking statues upon their visibility. One looking closer could see a large tower garnered with the symbol of a mountain covered in fire on it and various other notable buildings. Off in the deeper reachs of the area, numerous hot springs of varying sizes were seen. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Kazangagakure, the Village Hidden in the Lava.

Soon enough, the vision of a notable konouchi was seen yawning obnoxiously. She scratched her head a bit as she stepped out from under the blankets. Her pale yet soft skin shone with beauty as the sun reflected off her body. She stretched out a little bit as her exposed breasts gleemed slightly in her stretch. Her slender and tone legs and taut ass clearly visible as well. She looked outside for a moment and sighed. "Sakura-chan, I have an-"

He was soon interrupted as Sakura jumped back and frantically tried to cover herself with the blankets. "YOU PERVERT!!! WHO PEEPS ON SOMEONE WHILE THAT CLOSE ANYWAY?!?!!?" At this, the man merely shook his head. "My apologies Lady Sakura but, I have an urgent message from Shizune." At hearing this, Sakura notably calmed down and stood up, nude in all. "Hai, go on." She said as she stood there in the nude. "Shizune says your to go to the Hospital ICU room 3 immediately. She says there's a code 3."

At hearing this, Sakura notably tensed up while walking to her dresser. "Who's the patient?" At this, the messenger merely shrugged. "I do not know. All I know is that the patient is a female. A messenger for Tsunade-sama has also been sent to retrieve her as well Sakura-chan." Sakura nodded to herself with a gloomy look on her face. "Thank you and sorry for earlier. I really shouldn't be so prude like that." At hearing this, the messenger nodded. "Don't worry about it Sakura-chan. Your privacy was disturbed and that reaction is natural." He smiled as before he left, he chuckled. "You have very nice breasts by the way." He said as he barely escaped a punch of furious rage the sent a hole through her wall.

"Sakura-chan, give him a break. I agree their perfect. What's a code 3 anyway?" A male voice said from underneath Sakura's covers. "It means...that the patient is a torture victim. And only you can call them perfect by the way." At hearing this, the male voice sighed. "Torture? That isn't any joke. Don't worry about me. We'll get back together later and continue were we left off...somewhere along the lines of you-" He was soon interrupted s a giggling Sakura jumped on top of him with a kiss. "Yes, we definately will. I have to go now though." She said as soon enough, she quickly put on her clothes and grabbed her medical supplies and vanished.
