"I know it sucks balls to wait, but sometimes it just takes a long time to make them right, because we don't want to make them, suck balls." ERB.
Basically my way of saying, sorry for taking so long to write. I've been in kind of a slump. That and writing up a meeting with no blood and battle is incredibly boring to me, writing an argument is hard as fuck because I have this odd 'auto-resolve' mental pathway, it's great for coming up with solutions but I always forget how I got there :/ so I have to consciously slow my thought process, or throw curveballs at myself. So if this is unsatisfactory I apologize but consider it one step closer to ME, which will be on a different FF, consider this story a prologue.
On a completely unrelated note, can someone tell me what the fuck is with people and their love of Kagome from Inuyasha; I literally stopped watching at episode 56 because I just couldn't handle her shit anymore.
But she's almost everywhere, the exception being at most a handful of stories, in the Inuyasha crossover department of the sight, I know that this has nothing to do with KOH, Starcraft or Naruto but I'd just like to pitch that to my little community.
Please enjoy.
Start.
Tetsu no Kuni.
Mizukage Menma Zeruga walked with silent steps into the halls of the meeting place, a large tower in Tetsu no Kuni, the land of the Samurai, also cold as fuck. He had a furred cloak thrown over his shoulders, the Hive King smiled slightly, he had planned a few things on how this would go, hopefully it would end without bloodshed, but there always was the possibility. So he decided to get dirt on all of the Kage's, all of the Kage's so he could essentially blackmail them into being his bitches, or in the case of Iwa, fuck them over.
Horuta, the captain of Kiri's MIST, wearing a standard ANBU attire though toned to darker shades of blue and black with a fox mask on his face, a messy mop of loose blood red hair falling out behind it, Himaru at his other side, wearing an outfit that closely resembled Zabuza's on the second occasion they fought, a skin tight sleeveless black turtleneck with loose black pants and dark blue sandals, over his shoulders was a shark-skin cloak, though still several parts of his dark red skin was on display, thick black gloves covered his hands.
Menma had switched with his copy, whom was devoured by said King, and he'd began renovating several caves that ran under Kiri with a Hive and several Hatchery's, so he could spit out more soldiers faster.
His face was shrouded by a thin veil of shadows cast by his Kage's hat, a white double-breasted coat covering his torso, in place of the usual robes that most Kage's wore to official events, Menma pushing open the door to the meeting room he found only the Kazekage, Kankuro and Temari, the trio looked to those entering and rose a brow in confusion, "Kazekage-dono." Greeted the disguised Menma, Gaara nodded curtly.
"Mizukage-dono, you're here quickly." Observed the Suna leader.
"Well I did call it; I'll admit I'm surprised you arrived before me." Informed Menma as he took a seat directly across from Gaara who sat at one end of the U shaped table. Shrugging off his fur cloak he folded it over the top of his chair and sat, hat still in place. "But life is full of surprises, so I suppose a punctual Kage isn't that much a stretch." Menma chuckled a little.
"Would it be prudent to assume you will explain in further detail why you have called the summit, because I believe all of us, the other Kages and myself, would be extremely curious as to what this 'world changing information' would be." Menma merely smiled under his hat and pulled it down a bit further.
"Indeed, I await with baited breath for the reactions of our peers." Menma's eyes darkened as he paused for thought, "And I can't wait for you to show yourself here, Obito…So predictable, I'm sure you wouldn't give up your chance to start the war a little earlier would you?" Inwardly he chuckled, oh the deliciousness of the False Madara's terror would be unequaled when he found Menma could invade his very mind and soul.
The power of Psi was limited to nothing but the imagination and physical limitations of the user. By physical limitations that meant their very body, if the body could withstand whatever it was that the user was doing, then it could be performed. It was a very fickle thing, apparently some Psi users had their bodies torn apart because they attempted too much too soon.
Menma was pulled from his thoughts when the remaining Kage's entered the room, trying to look like they hadn't arrived to the room together, Minato took a spot near the arch of the U, A, the Raikage, and Onoiki, the Tsuchikage sat on the other side.
A was a massive monolith of muscle and dark skin, he had dusky white hair held back by what could possibly be nigh-invisible super-hair-gel, due to the sheer amount of flatness and perfection that kept it all down, sharp dark eyes that held a strength that could flatten armies. His upper lip held two whiskers and his chin had a triangle of hair, it was kinda odd compared to the rest of him. He wore his Kage robes like a haori, two heavy golden weights around his arms, black loose pants and boots on his feet, his chest bare revealing nothing but a man who was riiiiiiped.
He was accompanied by a slightly effeminate young man with pale skin, light blonde hair that flared out a little over the top of his headband, dark coal eyes looked around the room coldly, he wore a standard Kumo Jounin attire.
Next was a young woman, she was fair skinned with a long blonde braid that fell to her ankles, a standard Kumo uniform, the only difference was that it had a slight purple tint to the jacket, she was lithe and lean, Menma's eyes could see the hard work she put into her body easily, forearm length gloves with the fingers cut off revealing slightly pointed nails that had blue polish on them, Menma smirked at that, it went nicely with her skin, a good choice. Her dark green eyes peered at him; her left nostril twitched a bit, no doubt smelling the Bijuu on him.
Next came Minato, full Kage robes and all, Kakashi Hatake and Asuma Sarutobi.
Finally the floating midget that was the Tsuchikage, Onoiki. He had a big red nose, beady black eyes, and a friar style of hair, a bald top and hair barely around the edges, he wore a dark green tunic with strips of cloth at the shoulders that floated around as Onoiki moved about. Tailing the Tsuchikage was a pair of Iwa Nin, one was a black haired, fair skinned girl with coal black eyes that were sparked with attitude and 'moxie', he felt so incredibly old for using that word.
She wore a standard brown flak jacket, her right arm had a long, billowy sleeve while her left arm was exposed, showing her toned muscular biceps, not to the point where it was weird or just plain odd, but still enough to show she was a competent kunoichi, she had mesh leggings and brown sandals, a pair of shorts giving her some decency and a lopsided skirt that fell to her left knee.
On the other side of Onoiki was a large man with Chouji level body mass, he had a big nose and black eyes, a bandana as his headband covering most of his dirty brown hair, the colour not actually dirty, pink-ish skin and an orange scarf, besides that he had a pretty standard uniform.
"This summit is in session, please remove your hats." All of the Kage's slid off their hats and placed them in front of them on the wooden table, a strangled gasp fled Onoiki's lips.
"Madara Uchiha!" His skin paled and his heart thumped almost audibly.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Tsuchikage-dono, but no. I am Menma Zeruga, Mizukage." Minato almost smirked, as did Kakashi and Asuma, at the flippant look upon the familiar face. "But thanks for the compliment, I wasn't aware my looks were so close." He fiddled with a stray lock of hair, "It's so hard to get the spikes to stay with such long hair." He mumbled.
Mifune coughed into his hand, "Mizukage-dono, since you called this summit, would you care to start." The old samurai requested, Menma smiled and nodded.
"That, is a good lookin' man." Thought Kurotsuchi, Kage or no hot was hot. "Though a bit of a pretty boy, but I can dig it. Ha, I'm an Iwa shinobi, dig, earth, I'm hilarious." On the outside she was composed, on the inside she was laughing.
The Mizukage cracked a smile at the bad pun, Kurotsuchi blinked for a second at the sight of it, but brushed it off, there's no way he could have known what she said, "Well I'd like you all to be aware of just how serious this is, so get your serious faces on because I'm going to blow your minds." Menma slid over the table and into the center of the room, he raised his right arm and a blue holographic display appeared, the Shinobi tensed at the sight of it, thinking it to be a Jutsu of some kind.
Menma tapped a few keys on the Omni-Tool and smirked, a holographic image of their planet and the surrounding system, currently they rested in a fringe System, one that was unnamed by the majority of the galactic society if the fact that the planet and all surrounding systems were unnamed as well, was any kind of indication, the Batarians had apparently played a dangerous game and had opened up a new relay.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Naughty~.
"Our planet of Elna resides here…" He pointed to a planet near the core of the system, there were four other planets around it, one being an ice giant from the looks of it, sitting out on the very fringe of their space and the other three being possible worlds they could colonize, or Menma could as it were.
"The other three, as far as I am aware, are unnamed." He informed, sweeping his gaze across to gauge reactions, he was a little surprised to see almost all of them looking at him with skepticism and a look that just screamed 'you poor deluded fool'.
Menma was quite offended.
Minato was studying it silently, as was Gaara, while the rest, including the guards, looked amused.
"Our system, while undiscovered, was targeted by these creatures…" He pulled up a holographic image of a Batarian, and almost spat at the sight of it, "They are a slaver race who rely on piracy, flesh marketing and other immoral actions to fund a majority of their social structure. They attempted to land in Nami no Kuni and drag off the residence for trade in another system…" Menma paused as he felt more and more disbelief grow from those in the room.
Now he was a patient man, he could respect others who took their time, but he did not appreciate nor want blatantly willful ignorance when evidence was presented, "This is obviously some kind of Jutsu, honestly, aliens, and viewing planets? What kind of fools do you take us for?" Asked Onoiki with a growl.
"How will you respond, Menma?" Mentally questioned Minato, as he leant forward onto his hands, elbows propped up on the table.
"I question your competence as a Kage if evidence doesn't suffice your narrow mind, Onoiki." Snarled Menma, "But I guess all things need a good dose of shock value to work properly, how about this…" Menma's form suddenly expanded and changed, his tail exploded from his back while his wings did the same, tattered layers of cloth now being ripped apart by black and blue chitinous armor plating, fire wrapped around him for a moment disposing of what remained.
"Does this suffice, Tsuchikage? Undeniable evidence of life outside our planet, the Zerg Swarm live on this planet, and yet once came close to dominating the whole galaxy…I do wonder what you will think as if jam these images into your heads." Everyone felt a collective smack in the face, as a numb pain rippled into their minds, this was the side effect of forceful integration, Menma flashed the images of the Zerg Swarm, the stars above them, The Citadel, the Hegemony, the other races from Quarian to Turian.
As he turned to face them fully and crossed his arms Menma's swaying tail was the only thing making the slightest of noise in the room, that was until a snarl ripped itself from his throat and his eyes glowed with the power of the Sharingan, "Now listen up and listen good you fucking pathetic excuses for Kage, because I'm saying this once. This planet is Zerg territory; you can get on board or get devoured by the Swarm's wrath. Because when I leave to delve into the larger galaxy to test the waters, if there is conflict, I will come back with a vengeance so profound and powerful that the Shinigami won't be able to save you from me." Menma drummed his clawed fingers against his biceps, clinks of chitin and carapace echoed through the room.
"Akatsuki were enough of a threat, guess what happened to them? Slaughtered the lot of 'em. All that's left is a little pretender, then that's dealt with, answers. Now."
"Konohagakure will stand by the Swarm, as we have done so far." Said Minato dropping to proverbial bomb on the other Kage.
"You knew about this! And didn't say anything!" Snarled A, slamming his fist into the table.
"Of course, Menma is my own son after all. What kind of father would I be if I didn't do what was best for him, and my village." Nukes paled in comparison to the visible effect that had on the others.
"Wait-wait-wait!" Started Kurotsuchi, looking right into Menma's eyes, "So you plan to just unite the Elemental Nations, and then go off into space to do your own thing..?"
"Essentially, the idea is that my Cerebrates will keep the current presence of the Swarm upon Elna, not expanding but upgrading them, this entire scenario was set up so I could keep Elna safe from outside forces and interior forces that could upset the balance I plan to set upon it." Said Menma, now much calmer after taking a few breathes to steady his raging blood.
Kurotsuchi hummed in thought but pressed, "So nothing would really be that much different just that we'd have a bunch of giant bugs hanging around occasionally that if we piss off might eat us?" Menma nodded.
"Your lives will continue to be your own. But I reiterate that causing chaos upon Elna will result in my wrath, furious and powerful as it is. That is not including my children." Onoiki shivered at the idea of calling such abominations of nature 'children'.
"Ah, I knew I felt him…" Said Menma suddenly, spinning on his heel and reaching forward, just before he did a whirlpool was torn open in the middle of the room, Menma's clawed fingers wrapped around the throat of the last Akatsuki member, clad in orange spiral mask and all, grinning he wrapped the Uchiha's body in Psi a faint blue glow shrouded them, before his body began to tear itself apart.
"How does it feel, Obito? How does it feel to have your body torn apart..! You tried to fuck with my planet! Punishment is given to the deserving!" Howled Menma as he tore Obito's mind open and sucked out all useful information, the red-ish gray liquid that was soon left suspended in the air was sucked into a sack on Menma's thigh, he barely ever used it but liquid couldn't very well be held in his pockets, now could it?
Obito had planned to appear before them, and while his troop count was lower than he would have liked he still had access to a large martial force that would take months if not years for any of the villages to contest into a stalemate. Obito hadn't counted on Menma being there though, so through the Psi, or the Force-whatever-Menma sensed the false Madara coming through a Kamui.
Obviously all present wanted to ask, but the ferocious look in Menma's eyes turned them off it for now.
"Answers!" Snarled Menma, spinning on his heel and pointing to the midget man, he needed to bank on this rush, the idea of democracy had fallen apart so he needed to get the ball rolling.
"No, you abomination of nature. Iwagakure will not stand for your kind on our planet." Snarled Onoiki, to his surprise Menma grinned like a demon.
"Bold words, but are your sentiments shared..?" Menma delved into Kurotsuchi's mind, she was leaning towards his plan, and was inwardly cursing her grandfather enough to make a sailor blush, he grinned, just a few small suggestions planted into her mind and Onoiki wouldn't be a threat.
"And you, Raikage? Will you be so foolish as to stand against me when all I offer is stability?" A, while being a short-tempered man with a powerful earthshattering punch, was smart. If he wasn't he'd have been dead 100 times over during the war. So he contemplated the idea, the 'Swarm' had no open declarations against their independence and just wanted to establish peace, but wasn't above using a powerful forced hand when needed, that he could respect, he also had to consider the fact that while he had his own opinions of things he had to think of what was best for Kumo.
And the images that played in his mind, the sights, touches and tastes that came with the vision-no memory, were so intensely vivid that no Genjutsu could ever hope to produce such results, so he could not claim ignorance like Onoiki was doing.
"…" A stared into Menma's red eyes, they reflected nothing but a sincere want to make things around him better, that odd splash of bloodlust but that was good for character, the deeper he looked the quicker A found himself at his decision, "I accept, if the Swarm stays true to their word Kumogakure will have no qualms with them." The Tsuchikage looked appalled, all eyes turned to the Kazekage, Gaara had been incredibly quiet, even for him.
"Suna accepts, we have no qualms with the Swarm. If all you plan to do is act as vanguards for the planet, I don't see why not…As for this alien presence, on a personal note I'd like to know more about it." Menma nodded and smirked looked back to Onoiki who looked white as a sheet.
"Power to the Swarm, Tsuchikage-dono."
End
R&R
Sorry, but like I said this stuff bores me to tears. I didn't want to bother putting an Obito fight in because that would take waaaaaay to long, so I just had Menma fuck him existence away with Psi.
And the reason the other Kages were so agreeable was mostly because of how powerful the images Menma's forced memories were, basically super-powered-skull-fucking, and because I hate writing arguments.
